Abstract
A turbine nozzle support structure supports a ceramic turbine nozzle provided with a flange and disposed at the inlet of a turbine on a nozzle support. Force-multiplying mechanism presses the flange of the turbine nozzle against a nozzle support to support the turbine nozzle on the nozzle support. The force-multiplying mechanisms includes a pressing member having a spring holding part, a fulcrum part and a pressing part, a spring for applying resilient force to the spring holding part, and a fulcrum supporting member having a bearing part for supporting the fulcrum part.
Claims7
A turbine nozzle support structure for supporting a ceramic turbine nozzle disposed at inlet of a turbine on a nozzle support, comprising:
- a radially protruding flange formed on the turbine nozzle;
- and
- a force-multiplying mechanism configured to press the flange against the nozzle support, the force-multiplying mechanism including a pressing member having a spring holding part, a fulcrum part and a pressing part, a spring for applying resilient force to the spring holding part, and a fulcrum supporting member having a bearing part for supporting the fulcrum part.
