Abstract
In an arrangement for fixing blades (5) to a rotor (1) or stator, a number of slots (7) which run helically on the circumferential surface of the body to be fitted with blades are provided, filling pieces (6) which serve to space apart the blades (5) and fix the blades (5) in a frictional manner being present between individual blade rows (3).
Claims7
An arrangement for the fixation of blades and/or vanes of a fluid-flow machine, comprising:
- a number of fixing slots, wherein said fixing slots run helically on a circumferential essentially-convex or concave cylinder-shaped surface, and in which fixing slots, the blades and/or vanes are mounted by insertion of blade and/or vane roots;
- filling pieces which are inserted in the fixing slots between each blade and/or vane row;
- and
- at least one cooling air path, formed by integral intermediate passages or cavities, through which integral intermediate passages or cavities a cooling medium can flow, said integral intermediate passages and or cavities formed by sealing strips and adjoining filling pieces and blade and/or vane roots, said sealing strips connecting said adjoining filling pieces and roots;
- wherein the fixing slots are divided into at least two zones in a longitudinal direction of the surface, and a circumferential distance and/or pitch of the helix are different for each zone.

An arrangement for the fixation of blades and/or vanes of a fluid-flow machine, comprising:
- a plurality of fixing slots, extending helically on a circumferential cylinder-shaped surface of a fluid-flow machine;
- a plurality of at least one of blades and vanes mounted into said plurality of fixing slots forming a plurality of rows;
- a plurality of filling pieces mounted in the fixing slots between each of the rows;
- at least one sealing strip connecting at least one of blades, vanes and filling pieces mounted in adjacent fixing slots, said at least one sealing strip configured to form a cooling air path between said circumferential cylinder-shaped surface and said at least one of blades, vanes and filling pieces;
- wherein the circumferential surface is divided into at least two circumferentially extending zones, wherein a pitch of the helically extending fixing slots are different for each of the at least two zones.
