Abstract

A seal segment ( 11 ) includes a seal body having a plurality of laminated thin plate seal pieces ( 20 ), and a high-pressure side plate ( 23 ). The high-pressure side plate ( 23 ) includes an outer diameter side edge portion ( 23 b ) which is an outer edge portion in the radial direction (Dr) and extends in a circular are shape in the circumferential direction (Dc), an inner diameter side edge portion ( 23 c ) which is an inner edge portion in a radial direction (Dr) and extends in a circular arc shape in the circumferential direction (Dc), and a front edge portion ( 23 d ) which is an edge portion on a front side in the rotational direction (Bc). The high-pressure side plate ( 23 ) further includes a reinforcing portion ( 40 ) only in a region of the high-pressure side plate ( 23 ) on the front side in the rotational direction (Bc).

Claims (33)

1. A seal segment comprising:

a seal body having a plurality of thin plate seal pieces which extend forward in a rotational direction of a rotary shaft toward an inner side of the rotary shaft in the radial direction and are laminated in a partial region of the rotary shaft in a circumferential direction; and

a high-pressure side plate extending in the circumferential direction to cover the seal body from a high-pressure side of the rotary shaft in an axial direction,

wherein the high-pressure side plate includes:

an outer diameter side edge portion which is an outer edge portion in the radial direction and extends in a circular arc shape in the circumferential direction;

an inner diameter side edge portion which is an inner edge portion in the radial direction and extends in a circular arc shape in the circumferential direction; and

a front edge portion which is an edge portion on a front side in the rotational direction, extends to the front side in the rotational direction from the outer diameter side edge portion toward the inner side in the radial direction and is connected to the inner diameter side edge portion,

wherein the high-pressure side plate further includes a reinforcing portion only in a region of the high-pressure side plate on the front side in the rotational direction out of a whole region of the high-pressure side plate, and

wherein the reinforcing portion is provided to extend rearward in the rotational direction from the front edge portion side and straddle a boundary line, when a line segment extending from an end portion of the outer diameter side edge portion on the front side in the rotational direction toward the inner diameter side edge portion in the radial direction is defined as the boundary line.

2. The seal segment according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing portion includes a thick plate portion provided to extend rearward in the rotational direction from the front edge portion side and straddle the boundary line, only in a region of the high-pressure side plate on the front side in the rotational direction.

3. The seal segment according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing portion includes a rib structure provided to extend rearward in the rotational direction from the front edge portion side and straddle the boundary line, only in a region of the high-pressure side plate on the front side in the rotational direction.

4. A seal segment comprising:

a seal body having a plurality of thin plate seal pieces which extend forward in a rotational direction of a rotary shaft toward an inner side of the rotary shaft in the radial direction and are laminated in a partial region of the rotary shaft in a circumferential direction; and

a high-pressure side plate extending in the circumferential direction to cover the seal body from a high-pressure side of the rotary shaft in an axial direction,

wherein the high-pressure side plate includes:

an outer diameter side edge portion which is an outer edge portion in the radial direction and extends in a circular arc shape in the circumferential direction;

an inner diameter side edge portion which is an inner edge portion in the radial direction and extends in a circular arc shape in the circumferential direction; and

a front edge portion which is an edge portion on a front side in the rotational direction, extends to the front side in the rotational direction from the outer diameter side edge portion toward the inner side in the radial direction and is connected to the inner diameter side edge portion,

wherein the high-pressure side plate further includes a bent plate portion only in a region of the high-pressure side plate on the front side in the rotational direction out of a whole region of the high-pressure side plate, and

wherein the bent plate portion is provided to extend rearward in the rotational direction from the front edge portion to a boundary line when a line segment extending from an end portion of the outer diameter side edge portion on the front side in the rotational direction toward the inner diameter side edge portion in the radial direction is defined as the boundary line.

5. The seal segment according to claim 4 , wherein

the bent plate portion is bent to overlap each other from the front edge portion to the boundary line.

6. The seal segment according to claim 4 , wherein the bent plate portion is bent at the front edge portion.

7. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 1 .

8. The seal segment according to claim 2 , wherein the reinforcing portion includes a rib structure provided to extend rearward in the rotational direction from the front edge portion side and straddle the boundary line, only in a region of the high-pressure side plate on the front side in the rotational direction.

9. The seal segment according to claim 5 , wherein the bent plate portion is bent at the front edge portion.

10. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 2 .

11. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 3 .

12. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 4 .

13. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 5 .

14. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 6 .

15. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 8 .

16. A rotary machine comprising the seal segment according to claim 9 .
