Abstract

The present invention relates to a guide vane arrangement for a turbomachine, comprising a guide vane segment and a housing part that are fastened to one another, for which a back guide vane hook that rises radially toward the outside from an outer shroud of the guide vane segment, when referred to a longitudinal axis of the turbomachine, and a housing hook, which is arranged radially inside circumferentially at the housing part, engage in one another in form-fitting manner, wherein, in a first peripheral segment of the guide vane arrangement the guide vane hook has a front wall and a back wall, and therewith forms a groove open radially toward the outside, in which a ring section of the housing hook is arranged and held axially.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A guide-vane arrangement for a turbomachine, comprising
a guide vane segment and a housing that are fastened to one another, for which a back guide vane hook that rises radially toward the outside from an outer shroud of the guide vane segment, referred to a longitudinal axis of the turbomachine, and a housing hook extending from the housing, which is arranged radially inside circumferentially at the housing, engage in one another in a form-fitting manner,
wherein, in a first peripheral segment of the guide vane arrangement, the guide vane hook has a front wall and a back wall, and therewith forms a groove open radially toward the outside, in which a ring section of the housing hook is arranged and held axially, and
wherein, in a second peripheral segment of the guide vane arrangement, the back wall of the guide vane hook is provided with a discontinuity, and a cam projecting axially toward the back is arranged at the ring section of the housing hook,
the cam extending axially toward the back in the discontinuity of the back wall and is held therein for circumferentially fixing in place,
wherein, in a third peripheral segment of the guide vane arrangement, which follows the second peripheral segment having the discontinuity, the front wall, together with the back wall, again forms a groove open radially toward the outside, in which the ring section of the housing hook is arranged and is held axially,
wherein, in a fourth peripheral segment of the guide vane arrangement, which follows the third peripheral segment, the back wall of the guide vane hook is provided with an additional discontinuity, and
wherein the additional discontinuity is devoid of the housing hook and no additional cam of the housing hook is arranged therein.

2. The guide vane arrangement according to claim 1 wherein, in a fifth peripheral segment of the guide vane arrangement, which follows the fourth peripheral segment having the additional discontinuity, the front wall, together with the back wall, again forms a groove open radially toward the outside, in which the ring section of the housing hook is arranged and held axially.

3. The guide vane arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the fifth peripheral segment bounds one end of the outer shroud on a circumferential side.

4. The guide vane arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the first peripheral segment bounds one end of the outer shroud on a circumferential side.

5. The guide vane arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the front wall of the guide vane hook extends continually without discontinuity from one end of the guide vane segment on a circumferential side to the opposite end on the circumferential side.

6. The guide vane arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a securing element, which, when observed in an axial section, forms a U-shape open toward the front, which encloses the guide vane hook and the housing hook, at least in segments.

7. The guide vane arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein, when observed in an axial section in the first peripheral segment the housing hook with the ring section forms an L-shape with a leg oriented toward the back, which is enclosed radially toward the outside by the securing element.

8. The guide vane arrangement according to claim 6 wherein the securing element has a sealing section, which is applied at an outer surface of the outer shroud of the guide vane segment this sealing section pointing radially toward the outside, and/or in which the securing element forms a gas channel boundary, which radially bounds rotating blades adjacent to the guide vane segment.

9. The guide vane arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein the sealing section of the securing element is applied also in a region of the outer surface of the outer shroud, which bounds the back edge of the outer shroud.

10. The guide vane arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the guide vane arrangement is configured and arranged in a turbine module.

11. The guide vane arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the guide vane arrangement is configured and arranged in a jet engine.

12. A guide-vane arrangement for a turbomachine, comprising
a guide vane segment and a housing that are fastened to one another, for which a back guide vane hook that rises radially toward the outside from an outer shroud of the guide vane segment, referred to a longitudinal axis of the turbomachine, and a housing hook extending from the housing, which is arranged radially inside circumferentially at the housing, engage in one another in a form-fitting manner;
wherein, in a first peripheral segment of the guide vane arrangement, the guide vane hook has a front wall and a back wall, and therewith forms a groove open radially toward the outside, in which a ring section of the housing hook is arranged and held axially,
wherein, in a second peripheral segment of the guide vane arrangement, the back wall of the guide vane hook is provided with a discontinuity, and a cam projecting axially toward the back is arranged at the ring section of the housing hook,
the cam extending axially toward the back in the discontinuity of the back wall and is held therein for circumferentially fixing in place,
wherein, a securing element, which, when observed in an axial section, forms a U-shape open toward the front, which encloses the guide vane hook and the housing hook, at least in segments, and
wherein a cam projecting axially toward the front is provided at the securing element in the second peripheral segment of the guide vane arrangement, the cam being arranged together with the cam of the housing hook in the discontinuity of the back wall of the guide vane hook.
