Abstract

When a tip of a blade cascade is ground with a grindstone, a jig is inserted between blade cascades of a blisk and a jig is inserted between blade cascades. A blade locking section of the jig locks with a side section in the width direction of a corresponding rotor blade via a damping member made from rubber or the like. A disk locking section of the jig locks with a disk of the blade cascade which the blade locking section locks with.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for grinding tips of blades, comprising:
a movement restriction step of inserting a first jig between a first blade cascade of a blisk in a rotor and a second blade cascade axially adjacent to the first blade cascade of the blisk until the first jig is sandwiched by the first and second blade cascades, the blisk including a first disk and first blades as the first blade cascade both integrally provided; and
a grinding step of concurrently grinding tips of the first blades of the blisk and tips of the second blades of a wheel in the rotor during rotation of the rotor at a predetermined speed, the wheel being rotated together with the blisk and including a second disk and the second blades detachably fitted to the second disk.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the movement restriction step includes inserting a second jig between the first blade cascade of the blisk and a third blade cascade axially adjacent to the first blade cascade until the second jig is sandwiched by the first and third blade cascades, the third blade cascade located on an opposite side of the first blade cascade from the second blade cascade.

3. A jig for a blisk, configured to be inserted between a first blade cascade of the blisk including a first disk and first blades as the first blade cascade both integrally provided and a second blade cascade axially adjacent to the first blade cascade of the blisk in polishing tips of the first blades of the blisk, the blisk being present in a rotor with a wheel including a second disk and second blades detachably fitted to the second disk, the jig comprising:
a disk locking section configured to be locked to the first disk of the blisk while the jig is inserted and sandwiched between the first and second blade cascades;
a blade locking section configured to be locked to the first blades of the blisk, while the jig is inserted and sandwiched between the first and second blade cascades; and
a connecting section configured to connect the disk locking section and the blade locking section.

4. The jig according to claim 3 , further comprising a first damping member disposed between the blade locking portion and the first blade cascade.

5. The jig according to claim 4 , further comprising a second damping member disposed between the blade locking portion and the second blade cascade.

6. The jig according to claim 3 , wherein
the disk locking section configured to be further locked to a third disk of the second blade cascade.

7. The jig according to claim 3 , wherein
the blade locking section configured to be further locked to third blades of the second blade cascade.
