Abstract

A blade includes a blade body with a cooling flow passage through which a cooling medium is configured to flow. The blade body includes a top plate, and a thinning which is defined on a top surface of the top plate, closer to a suction side than a camber line, and which protrudes and extends along the camber line. A top plate flow passage is defined inside the top plate and includes an inlet flow passage which is closer to the suction side than the camber line and into which the cooling medium is configured to flow, a main flow passage which extends in a direction intersecting the camber line along the top surface, and an outlet flow passage through which the cooling medium is configured to be discharged to an outside of the blade body from a position closer to a pressure side than the camber line.

Claims (24)

1. A blade, comprising a blade body inside which a cooling flow passage through which a cooling medium is configured to flow is defined,

wherein the blade body includes:

a top plate on a blade end portion of the blade body in a blade height direction; and

a thinning which is defined on a top surface of the top plate facing an outside in the blade height direction, closer to a suction side of the blade body than a camber line of the blade body, and which protrudes toward the outside in the blade height direction and extends along the camber line,

wherein a top plate flow passage through which the cooling medium from the cooling flow passage is configured to flow is defined inside the top plate,

wherein the top plate flow passage includes:

an inlet flow passage which is closer to the suction side than the camber line and into which the cooling medium is configured to flow from the cooling flow passage;

a main flow passage which is connected to the inlet flow passage and extends in a direction intersecting the camber line along the top surface; and

an outlet flow passage which is connected to the main flow passage and through which the cooling medium is configured to be discharged to an outside of the blade body from a position closer to a pressure side of the blade body than the camber line,

wherein the top plate includes an inclined surface connecting a surface facing the pressure side of the blade body and the top surface to each other,

wherein the outlet flow passage is open at the inclined surface, and

wherein the inclined surface is inclined with respect to the surface facing the pressure side of the blade body and the top surface.

2. The blade according to claim 1 , wherein the inlet flow passage is defined at a position closer to the thinning than the camber line when viewed in the blade height direction.

3. The blade according to claim 1 , wherein the outlet flow passage is defined at a position closer to an outer surface of the blade body facing the pressure side than the camber line when viewed in the blade height direction.

4. The blade according to claim 1 , wherein the main flow passage is defined in a meandering manner in a cross section parallel to the top surface.

5. The blade according to claim 1 , wherein a thinning flow passage through which the cooling medium is configured to flow is defined inside the thinning.

6. The blade according to claim 1 , wherein the inlet flow passage includes:

a cooling surface that is at a position at which the cooling surface at least partially overlaps the thinning when viewed in the blade height direction and that faces a side opposite to the outside in the blade height direction; and

an injection portion in which an injection hole through which the cooling medium is configured to be injected to the cooling surface is defined.

7. The blade according to claim 1 , further comprising a platform on an end portion of the blade body on a side opposite to the outside in the blade height direction.

8. A gas turbine, comprising:

a combustor configured to generate a combustion gas; and

a turbine which includes the blade according to claim 1 .

9. The blade according to claim 1 , wherein the inclined surface is inclined at 45° with respect to the surface facing the pressure side of the blade body and the top surface.
