Abstract

A casing body for a hot gas flow includes an outer casing body having a hot gas side with a precisely prepared locating surface. A pin-type retainer is disposed on the locating surface, and an inner heat shield is disposed at a distance from the hot gas side of the outer casing body and fastened to the retainer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A casing body for a hot gas flow comprising:
an outer casing body having a hot gas side;
a segmented inner heat shield;
a countersink disposed on the hot gas side and a precisely prepared sunken locating surface disposed in the countersink;
a pin-type retainer disposed on the sunken locating surface, the retainer including a separate spacer disposed on the sunken locating surface and extending from the hot gas side, the spacer including a first abutment surface abutting the sunken location surface and a second abutment surface;
a fixing element clamping the inner heat shield and the outer casing body to one another such as to fix the spacer and to clamp the inner heat shield to the second abutment surface; and
wherein the inner heat shield is clamped on the second abutment surface between a first disk and a second disk, the first disk and the second disk each having an opening, the openings receiving the spacer.

2. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the casing body is a casing body of a gas turbine.

3. The casing body as described in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the spacer and the fixing element are positively locked to at least one of the outer casing body and the inner heat shield.

4. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spacer is a sleeve, and wherein the fixing element is a screw, the screw extending axially through the sleeve so as to clamp the inner heat shield and the outer casing body against one another.

5. The casing body as recited in claim 4 , wherein the sunken locating surface includes a hole configured to receive the screw.

6. The casing body as recited in claim 5 , wherein the screw is screwed into an internal thread of the hole.

7. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the openings of each of the first disk and the second disk are each an adapted noncircular opening and the spacer includes a corresponding noncircular cross section that engages in the noncircular openings so as to rotationally fix the first and second disks to the spacer.

8. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the outer casing body includes ribs disposed on an inside of the outer casing body, and wherein the retainer is disposed in a region of the ribs.

9. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the sunken locating surface is a flat surface.

10. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second abutment surface is formed on a step or flange provided on the spacer.

11. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fixing element is a screw comprising a screw head, and the inner heat shield is clamped between the second abutment surface and the screw head.

12. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first disk is provided between the inner heat shield and the second abutment surface.

13. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spacer is a sleeve and the fixing element is a screw, the screw extending axially through the sleeve and into a hole provided in the locating surface of the outer casing body and receiving a part of the screw such as to clamp the inner heat shield and the casing body against one another with the sleeve clamped between them.

14. The casing body as recited in claim 13 , wherein the screw is screwed into the hole provided in the locating surface.

15. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spacer comprises at an end facing away from the locating surface and above a flange on which the second abutment surface is provided, a protrusion, wherein the protrusion exhibits a non-circular cross section, and each of the first and second disks exhibits a corresponding non-circular opening, said openings receiving the protrusion, such as to rotationally fix the disks on the spacer.

16. The casing body as recited in claim 15 , wherein each segment of the inner heat shield comprises an opening in which the protrusion is received, wherein the opening is dimensioned such that a play is provided between the segment of the inner heat shield and the spacer, and/or the inner heat shield can be displaced on the first disk relative to an axis of the spacer.

17. The casing body as recited in claim 1 , wherein edges of adjacent segments of the segmented inner heat shield abut against one another in alignment with one another with a precise gap size.

18. A casing body for a hot gas flow comprising:
an outer casing body having a hot gas side;
a segmented inner heat shield;
a countersink disposed on the hot gas side and a sunken locating surface disposed in the countersink;
a pin-type retainer disposed on the sunken locating surface, the retainer including a separate spacer disposed on the sunken locating surface and extending from the hot gas side, the spacer including a first abutment surface abutting the sunken location surface and a second abutment surface;
a fixing element clamping the inner heat shield and the outer casing body to one another such as to fix the spacer and to clamp the inner heat shield to the second abutment surface; and
wherein the inner heat shield is clamped on the second abutment surface between a first disk and a second disk;
wherein the spacer comprises at an end facing away from the locating surface and above a flange on which the second abutment surface is provided, a protrusion, wherein the protrusion has a non-circular cross section, and each of the first and second disks each has a corresponding non-circular opening, said openings receiving the protrusion, such as to rotationally fix the disks on the spacer; and
wherein a length of the protrusion which has the non-circular cross section is smaller than a sum of thicknesses of the first and second disks and the segment of the heat shield.
