Abstract

A turbine blade includes a blade body in which a suction side ( 51 ) facing one side in a circumferential direction and a pressure side ( 52 ) facing the other side in the circumferential direction are connected at a leading edge and a trailing edge; and a shroud provided at a tip which is a radially outer end portion of the blade body. The shroud includes a shroud body having an outer circumferential surface facing radially outward, a front end surface extending to both sides in the circumferential direction with a leading edge side of the blade body as a reference point (P 1 ), a rear end surface extending to both sides in the circumferential direction with a trailing edge side of the blade body as a reference point (P 2 ), and a contact surface provided on both sides in the circumferential direction, and a reinforcing portion which protrudes from the outer circumferential surface.

wherein the front end surface has a first front end surface extending from the reference point of the leading edge side to said one side in the circumferential direction, and a second front end surface extending to intersect the first front end surface from the reference point of the leading edge side toward said other side in the circumferential direction,

wherein the rear end surface has a first rear end surface extending from the reference point of the trailing edge side to said one side in the circumferential direction, and a second rear end surface extending to intersect the first rear end surface from the reference point of the trailing edge side toward said other side in the circumferential direction, and

wherein the reinforcing portion has a first reinforcing rib extending over the first front end surface and the first rear end surface.

2. The turbine blade according to claim 1 ,

wherein the shroud includes a first fillet portion which is formed at a portion on which the suction side of the blade body and an inner circumferential surface of the shroud body are connected, and which extends to form a curved surface shape from the suction side of the blade body to the inner circumferential surface of the shroud body, and

the first reinforcing rib is disposed to overlap the first fillet portion in the circumferential direction across the shroud body.

3. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing portion has a second reinforcing rib extending over the second front end surface and the second rear end surface.

4. The turbine blade according to claim 3 ,

wherein the shroud includes a second fillet portion which is formed at the portion on which the pressure side of the blade body and an inner circumferential surface of the shroud body are connected, and which extends to form a curved line from the pressure side of the blade body to the inner circumferential surface of the shroud body, and

the second reinforcing rib is disposed to overlap the second fillet portion in the circumferential direction across the shroud body.

5. A turbine blade comprising:

a blade body in which a suction side facing one side in a circumferential direction and a pressure side facing the other side in the circumferential direction are connected at a leading edge and a trailing edge and which extends in a radial direction; and

a shroud provided at a tip which is a radially outer end portion of the blade body,

wherein the shroud includes

a shroud body which has an outer circumferential surface facing radially outward, a front end surface extending to both sides in the circumferential direction with a leading edge side of the blade body as a reference point, a rear end surface extending to both sides in the circumferential direction with a trailing edge side of the blade body as a reference point, and a contact surface provided on both sides in the circumferential direction, and

a reinforcing portion which protrudes from the outer circumferential surface and extends over the front end surface and the rear end surface,

wherein the front end surface has a first front end surface extending from the reference point of the leading edge side to said one side in the circumferential direction, and a second front end surface extending to intersect the first front end surface from the reference point of the leading edge side toward said other side in the circumferential direction,

wherein the rear end surface has a first rear end surface extending from the reference point of the trailing edge side to said one side in the circumferential direction, and a second rear end surface extending to intersect the first rear end surface from the reference point of the trailing edge side toward said other side in the circumferential direction, and

wherein the reinforcing portion has a second reinforcing rib extending over the second front end surface and the second rear end surface.

6. The turbine blade according to claim 5 ,

wherein the shroud includes a second fillet portion which is formed at a portion on which the pressure side of the blade body and an inner circumferential surface of the shroud body are connected, and which extends to form a curved surface shape from the pressure side of the blade body to the inner circumferential surface of the shroud body, and

the second reinforcing rib is disposed to overlap the second fillet portion in the circumferential direction across the shroud body.
