Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is a turbine blade ( 1 ) having a hollow blade body ( 2 ). This turbine blade ( 1 ) is provided with: cooling air holes ( 5 ) that penetrate the blade body ( 2 ) from an internal wall surface ( 2 e ) to an external wall surface ( 2 f ) thereof, and are provided with a straight tube portion ( 5 a ) that is located on the internal wall surface ( 2 e ) side of the blade body ( 2 ), and an expanded diameter portion ( 5 b ) that is located on the external wall surface ( 2 f ) side of the blade body ( 2 ); and with a guide groove ( 6 ) that is located on an internal wall of the expanded diameter portion ( 5 b ) and that guides cooling air (Y) in the expanded diameter portion ( 5 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A turbine blade having a hollow blade body comprising: cooling air holes that penetrate the blade body from an internal wall surface to an external wall surface thereof, and are provided with a straight tube portion that is located on the internal wall surface side of the blade body, and an expanded diameter portion that is located on the external wall surface side of the blade body; a guide groove that is provided on a part of an internal wall of the expanded diameter portion and that guides cooling air in the expanded diameter portion, the part of the internal wall of the expanded diameter portion being located on a downstream side in a flow direction of main flow gas that flows along the external wall surface; and a recessed portion that is provided in the guide groove. 2. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the guide groove is provided extending along an internal wall surface of the expanded diameter portion. 3. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the guide groove is provided extending in the flow direction of the cooling air flowing through the straight tube portion. 4. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the guide groove has a collision surface that is provided in the expanded diameter portion and intersects the flow direction of the cooling air.
