Abstract

An assembling method of a seal structure of a rotary machine includes inserting a pin member into a through hole formed in a cylindrical member; threadably fitting the pin member into a pin installation hole of a segment; inserting a locking member into a first pin hole formed in the segment and a second pin hole formed in the pin member and fixing the pin member to the segment; arranging the segment in a groove part; inserting the cylindrical member; positioning the cylindrical member by causing the cylindrical member to slide in the axial direction; fixing the cylindrical member with respect to a seal mounting hole; causing the pin member to engage with a temporary joint member; moving an outer circumference side member and an inner circumference side member to approach to each other in the radial direction; and taking out the temporary joint member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An assembling method of a seal structure of a rotary machine,
wherein the rotary machine comprises:
a casing including an outer circumference side member and an inner circumference side member;
a rotating body which is rotated about an axis in the interior of the casing;
a first flange which is provided on the outer circumference side member, is formed in a ring shape so as to project inward in a radial direction that is orthogonal to the axis, and extend about the axis; and
a second flange which is provided on the inner circumference side member, is formed in a ring shape so as to project outward in the radial direction and extend about the axis, and is opposite in an axial direction to the flange of the outer circumference side member,
wherein the seal structure comprises:
a ring-shaped groove part which is provided on either one of the first flange and the second flange, is recessed from an end surface facing the other of the first flange and the second flange, and extends about the axis,
a ring-shaped segment which is able to be inserted into the groove part, includes a first biasing device that biases the segment in the axial direction so as to be able to come in contact with the other of the first flange and the second flange and a second biasing device that biases the segment in the radial direction, and is formed with a pin installation hole on an end surface that faces the axial direction,
a pin member which is capable of being threadably fitted in the pin installation hole,
a seal mounting hole that passes through the one of the first flange and the second flange in the axial direction and communicates with the groove part, and
a cylindrical member that is formed with a through hole which passes through the cylindrical member in the axial direction and into which the pin member is capable of being inserted,
the method comprising: inserting the pin member into the through hole formed in the cylindrical member; threadably fitting the pin member into the pin installation hole of the segment; inserting a locking member into a first pin hole, which is formed on the segment at a position corresponding to the pin installation hole in a circumferential direction and is extending toward the radial direction of the segment, and a second pin hole, which is formed to pass through the pin member in the radial direction, and fixing the pin member to the segment; inserting the first biasing device into a first accommodating hole of the segment which opens in the axial direction, inserting the second biasing device into a second accommodating hole of the segment which opens in the radial direction, and arranging the segment in the groove part so that an end surface where the pin installation hole is formed faces the seal mounting hole; inserting the cylindrical member into the seal mounting hole from the groove part; positioning the cylindrical member in the axial direction in the seal mounting hole by causing the cylindrical member to slide in the axial direction; inserting a positioning pin into a third pin hole which is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the one of the first flange and the second flange and communicates with the seal mounting hole in the radial direction, inserting the positioning pin into a fourth pin hole which is formed in the cylindrical member in the radial direction, and fixing the cylindrical member with respect to the seal mounting hole; causing the pin member to engage with a temporary joint member; moving the outer circumference side member and the inner circumference side member to approach to each other in the radial direction; and taking out the temporary joint member by releasing the engagement between the temporary joint member and the pin member.

2 . The assembling method of a seal structure of a rotary machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the outer circumference side member and the inner circumference side member are formed to be divided into an upper half member and a lower half member in the circumferential direction, and wherein the method further comprises assembling the upper half member and the lower half member.

3 . The assembling method of a seal structure of a rotary machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the groove part is formed in the first flange.

4 . The assembling method of a seal structure of a rotary machine according to claim 3 ,
wherein the outer circumference side member includes a screw hole that passes through the outer circumference side member in the radial direction, at a position corresponding to the seal mounting hole, and wherein in the taking out of the temporary joint member, the temporary joint member is taken out from the screw hole.
