Abstract
Disclosed are an impulse turbine and a turbine device. The disclosed impulse turbine includes a cylindrical body having an axial hole, and a blade unit arranged to surround the periphery of the body. The blade unit includes a cylindrical base arranged to surround the periphery of the body, and a plurality of unit blades radially arranged in a line along the periphery of the base. Each of the unit blades includes an outlet that discharges fluid, injected onto the unit blade, in a direction different from the fluid spray direction, but does not discharge the fluid toward the other unit blades.
Claims6
A turbine device comprising:
- a housing, a rotating shaft, a shaft support, an impulse turbine and a fluid discharge pipe, wherein
- the housing has a space for allowing the impulse turbine to be rotated therein and includes a pair of fluid inlet and fluid outlet provided on one side and an opposite side of the housing, respectively,
- the fluid outlet communicates with the fluid discharge pipe, the rotating shaft is configured to be axially installed in and rotated about a center of the turbine device,
- the shaft support is formed in a center thereof with a through-hole through which the rotating shaft passes and includes a flange portion coupled to the one side of housing,
- the shaft support is formed in a front thereof with a bearing installation groove and formed in a rear thereof with a bearing accommodation space,
- a front bearing for supporting a front of the rotating shaft is fitted and coupled to the bearing installation groove,
- a rear bearing for supporting a rear of the rotating shaft is fitted and coupled to the bearing accommodation space, thereby supporting the rotating shaft eccentrically from the housing, and
- the impulse turbine is coupled to the rotating shaft and rotated, wherein
- (1) the impulse turbine includes a cylindrical body having an axial hole and a blade unit to surround a periphery of the body,
- (2) the blade unit includes a cylindrical base disposed to surround the periphery of the body, and a plurality of unit blades radially arranged in a line along a periphery of the base,
- (3) each of the unit blades includes an outlet that discharges an injected fluid in a direction different from a fluid injection direction but does not discharge the fluid to other unit blades,
- (4) each of the unit blades includes a groove portion for temporarily accommodating the injected fluid, a bottom portion forming a bottom of the groove portion, a first blocking portion forming a right wall of the groove portion, a second blocking portion forming a left wall of the groove portion, and a third blocking portion forming a front wall and an upper wall of the groove portion,
- (5) the bottom portion has a part closed by the upper wall of the groove portion and a remaining part that is opened,
- (6) the first blocking portion has a length shorter than the second blocking portion, and
- (7) the outlet is positioned adjacent to the first blocking portion.
