Title:
ROTOR BLADE OR GUIDE VANE ASSEMBLY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/091289
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention refers to a method of assembling or disassembling a rotor blade (100) or guide vane assembly, wherein the rotor blade or guide vane comprises an airfoil (110) and additional structured peripheral members forming at least an inner and/or an outer platform (115) of the rotor blade or guide vane. The airfoil consists of at least one airfoil sub-structure designed for anchoring at least one superposed component for the purpose of a thermal protection. The connection between the airfoil sub-structure and the superposed component is supported on friction-locked means, wherein the airfoil sub-structure is formed by a spar (210) and the superposed component consists at least one flow-charged outer shell (220). The outer shell encasing the spar or airfoil under-structure. The connection between the spar or airfoil under-structure and the flow-charged outer shell is formed by a force-fit and/or a form-fit fixation or a shrinking joint, wherein the airfoil and additional structured peripheral members is formed by friction-locked means with a detachable, permanent or semi-permanent fixation.
