Patent number: 11339672Abstract: A method for disassembling/assembling a gas turbine including a seal plate disposed on a first side of a rotor disc in an axial direction of the rotor disc, and a seal plate restraint part for restricting movement of the seal plate in a radial direction of the rotor disc. The method includes a seal-plate-restraint-state switching step of operating the seal plate restraint part from a second side in the axial direction via a clearance between a platform of a blade and a region of an outer peripheral surface of the rotor disc except a blade groove for receiving the blade to switch between a seal plate non-restraint state where the seal plate restraint part does not restrict movement of the seal plate in the radial direction and a seal plate restraint state where at least a part of the seal plate restraint part protrudes in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: MITSUBISHI POWER, LTD.Inventors: Masahiro Murata, Eiichi Tsutsumi, Yoshimasa Takaoka, Shinya Hashimoto, Naoki Ikushima, Tetsuya Shimmyo

Patent number: 11299994Abstract: A first-stage stator vane for a gas turbine includes: a first portion partially defining an airfoil which includes a pressure surface, a suction surface, and a trailing edge; and a second portion positioned at a leading-edge side of the airfoil with respect to the first portion, the second portion having a recess portion or a protruding portion. The recess portion or the protruding portion has a pair of side wall surfaces, and an angle formed between the pair of side wall surfaces is less than 90 angular degrees.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: MITSUBISHI POWER, LTD.Inventors: Kentaro Tokuyama, Kenji Sato, Keisuke Matsuyama, Takaya Koda, Shunsuke Torii, Tetsuya Shimmyo, Shinya Hashimoto, Akihiro Murakami

Patent number: 11286785Abstract: A turbine rotor blade includes: a blade body including a pressure surface and a suction surface; and a tip shroud on a tip portion of the blade body, the tip shroud being inclined outward in a radial direction from the pressure surface to the suction surface in an axial direction. The tip shroud includes a fin at a center portion in a circumferential direction, the fin extending radially outward, a pressure-side tip shroud on the pressure surface side, and a suction-side tip shroud. The suction-side tip shroud includes a suction-side contact block at a front edge end of the tip shroud. The pressure-side tip shroud includes a pressure-side contact block at a rear edge end of the tip shroud, the suction-side contact block includes a first surface facing in the circumferential direction, and the pressure-side contact block includes a second surface facing in a direction opposite to the circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: MITSUBISHI POWER, LTD.Inventors: Norifumi Hirata, Tetsuya Shimmyo, Satoshi Hada, Masamitsu Kuwabara, Shunsuke Torii

Patent number: 11280203Abstract: A gas turbine includes a plurality of first-stage stator vanes arranged in a circumferential direction, the first-stage stator vanes each including a vane surface having a pressure surface and a suction surface, a first combustor disposed on a suction surface side of one of the first-stage stator vanes, the first combustor having a first combustor outlet which includes a first side wall portion extending along a radial direction, and a second combustor disposed on a pressure surface side of the one of the first-stage stator vanes and adjacent to the first combustor in the circumferential direction. The one of the first-stage stator vanes satisfies 0.05??y/P?0.25, where ?y is a protruding amount of the suction surface from the inner wall surface of the first side wall portion to the circumferential direction, and P is an arrangement pitch of the first-stage stator vanes in the circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: MITSUBISHI POWER, LTD.Inventors: Tetsuya Shimmyo, Shunsuke Torii, Koichiro Iida, Hitoshi Kitagawa, Kenji Sato, Kentaro Tokuyama
