Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A turbine rotor blade according to at least one embodiment of the present invention is to be connected to a rotational shaft so as to be rotatable around an axis and includes: a hub having a hub surface inclined with respect to the axis in a cross-section along the axis; at least one rotor blade disposed on the hub surface; and a connection passage disposed inside the turbine rotor blade and connecting a first opening disposed in the at least one rotor blade and a second opening disposed downstream of the first opening in the turbine rotor blade.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A turbine rotor blade to be connected to a rotational shaft so as to be rotatable around an axis, comprising: a hub having a hub surface inclined with respect to the axis in a cross-section along the axis; at least one rotor blade disposed on the hub surface; and a connection passage disposed inside the at least one rotor blade and connecting a first opening disposed in the at least one rotor blade and a second opening disposed downstream of the first opening in the at least one rotor blade, wherein the second opening includes an edge surface opening disposed on an edge surface of a trailing edge of the at least one rotor blade. 2. A turbine rotor blade to be connected to a rotational shaft so as to be rotatable around an axis, comprising: a hub having a hub surface inclined with respect to the axis in a cross-section along the axis; at least one rotor blade disposed on the hub surface; and a connection passage disposed inside the at least one rotor blade and connecting a first opening disposed in the at least one rotor blade and a second opening disposed downstream of the first opening in the at least one rotor blade, wherein the at least one rotor blade includes a first rotor blade and a second rotor blade adjacent to a suction side of the first rotor blade, and wherein the second opening includes a blade surface opening disposed on a blade surface on the suction side of the first rotor blade at a position adjacent to a trailing edge of the first rotor blade with respect to a throat portion at which the first rotor blade is closest to a pressure side of the second rotor blade. 3. The turbine rotor blade according to claim 2 , wherein the second opening includes an edge surface opening disposed on an edge surface of a trailing edge of the at least one rotor blade, and the blade surface opening. 4. The turbine rotor blade according to claim 2 , wherein when a part of the at least one rotor blade on a leading edge side with respect to a center position on a meridional line of the rotor blade is defined as a leading-edge-side region, and a remaining part of the rotor blade on a trailing edge side is defined as a trailing-edge-side region, the second opening is disposed in the trailing-edge-side region of the rotor blade, and wherein the second opening is disposed at a position closer to the hub surface than a spanwise center position of the rotor blade. 5. The turbine rotor blade according to claim 2 , wherein the first opening is formed on a blade surface on a suction side of the at least one rotor blade. 6. The turbine rotor blade according to claim 2 , wherein the first opening is formed on a blade surface on a pressure side of the at least one rotor blade. 7. The turbine rotor blade according to claim 2 , wherein when a part of the at least one rotor blade on a leading edge side with respect to a center position on a meridional line of the rotor blade is defined as a leading-edge-side region, and a remaining part of the rotor blade on a trailing edge side is defined as a trailing-edge-side region, the first opening is disposed in the leading-edge-side region of the rotor blade, and wherein the first opening is disposed at a position farther from the hub surface than a spanwise center position of the rotor blade. 8. The turbine rotor blade according to claim 2 , wherein an opening area of the first opening is larger than an opening area of the second opening. 9. A turbine rotor blade to be connected to a rotational shaft so as to be rotatable around an axis, comprising: a hub having a hub surface inclined with respect to the axis in a cross-section along the axis; at least one rotor blade disposed on the hub surface; and a connection passage disposed inside the at least one rotor blade and connecting a first opening disposed in the at least one rotor blade and a second opening disposed on a tip surface of the hub, wherein when a part of the at least one rotor blade on a leading edge side with respect to a center position on a meridional line of the rotor blade is defined as a leading-edge-side region, and a remaining part of the rotor blade on a trailing edge side is defined as a trailing-edge-side region, the first opening is disposed in the leading-edge-side region of the rotor blade.
