Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mounting device for mounting a guide blade to be mounted in a blade groove of a turbine, where the mounting unit has a clamping unit and a pressing unit. Here, the clamping unit is designed to produce in the blade groove a non-positive connection in a circumferential direction. The pressing unit is arranged behind the clamping unit in the circumferential direction and the pressing unit is supported against the clamping unit in the circumferential direction. The pressing unit is designed to apply a pressing force by means of a pressing piston in an opposite direction to the circumferential direction in a mounting direction and to transmit said force to the guide blade to be mounted.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A mounting device for mounting a guide vane, which is to be mounted, in a vane slot of a turbine, wherein the mounting device comprises: a jamming unit and a caulking unit, wherein the jamming unit is designed to generate, in the vane slot, a force fit in a circumferential direction, wherein the circumferential direction is a direction which, in the working position of the mounting device, encircles perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the turbine, at a constant distance around the axis of rotation, wherein the caulking unit is arranged behind the jamming unit in the circumferential direction and the caulking unit bears against the jamming unit in the circumferential direction, and wherein the caulking unit is designed to apply, by means of a caulking piston, a caulking force in a mounting direction opposite to the circumferential direction, and to transmit this force to the guide vane which is to be mounted. 2 . The mounting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the jamming unit comprises a jamming piston which is provided with a piston bevel and can be moved in a jamming direction against a fork bevel of a jamming fork. 3 . The mounting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the jamming unit is fluidically driven. 4 . The mounting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the caulking unit is fluidically driven. 5 . The mounting device as claimed in claim 1 . wherein the caulking piston is provided with an endstop part. 6 . A mounting method, comprising: securing a guide vane which is to be mounted, in a vane slot of a turbine, driving the guide vane, which is to be mounted, by means of a mounting device as claimed in claim 1 , along the vane slot in the mounting direction, to a point provided with a caulking piece.
