The radial direction fixing jig 32 is located on a rotor end X2 side of the turbine rotor 11 (inside the turbine casing 51 in the axis X direction) away from the axial direction fixing jig 31. Two radial direction fixing jigs 32 are provided on an upper half side and a lower half side of the divided gland part 21A, and are inserted so that an entire circumference of the turbine rotor 11 is surrounded with the two radial direction fixing jigs 32.

(28) As shown in

There are not any special restrictions on positions and a number of the cutouts 40 to be provided.
(30) After the axial direction fixing jig 31 is disposed, each cutout 40 is formed so that a clearance between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A can be visually verified from a position of the turbine rotor 11 on the rotor end X1 side to the end face 14 away from the axial direction fixing jig 31 and so that the clearance can be easily measured with a measuring instrument or the like. There are not any special restrictions on a width H of the cutout 40 (for the cutout 40 on the vertical lower side in

(32) As shown in
(33) To fix the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 in the axis X direction with the axial direction fixing jig 31, a clearance between the fixing part 39 of the axial direction fixing jig 31 and the surface of the turbine rotor 11 on the rotor end X1 side in a region C1 of
(34) To fix the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 in the radial direction with the axial direction fixing jig 31, a clearance between the turbine rotor side fitting part 35 of the radial direction fixing jig 32 (specifically, a convex portion of the turbine rotor side fitting part 35) and the fitting groove 13 (specifically, a concave portion of the fitting groove 13) of the turbine rotor 11 in a region C3 of
(35) An example of a method of disposing the axial direction fixing jig 31 in the seal ring groove 23 or disposing the radial direction fixing jig 32 in the seal ring groove 22 is a method of rotating each jig in the circumferential direction to insert the jig in the upper half of the divided gland part 21A, but the method is not limited to this example.

(37) Next, description will be made as to a method of verifying a length of the clearance between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A, and misalignment between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A in the axis X direction, with reference to
(38)
(39)
(40) Since the axial direction fixing jig 31 is provided with the cutout 40, the clearance between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A can be visually verified through the cutout 40 from the position of the turbine rotor 11 on the rotor end X1 side away from the axial direction fixing jig 31, without opening the upper half of the gland part 21A, and the clearance can be easily measured with the measuring instrument or the like. A clearance dimension L between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A can be measured, for example, with the measuring instrument, such as a micrometer or a cylinder gauge.
(41) The measuring jig 41 is configured to measure a clearance in the end face 14 of the turbine rotor 11 on the rotor end X1 side. During the measuring, the one end 42 of the measuring jig 41 is attached to come in contact with a reference surface 24 on the rotor end X1 side in the gland part 21A with a magnet or the like. At this time, the other end 43 of the measuring jig 41 is adjusted to face, in parallel, the end face 14 of the turbine rotor 11 and the end face of the gland part orthogonal to the axis X direction. In this state, a distance D between the other end 43 of the measuring jig 41 and the end face 14 of the turbine rotor 11 (a length of the turbine rotor 11 in the axis X direction) is measured with the micrometer or the like, and a measured value is compared with a measured value prior to start of the shipping. Consequently, the clearance in the turbine rotor 11 in the axial direction is measured. Note that the other end 43 of the measuring jig 41 does not have to be disposed to face, in parallel, the end face 14 of the turbine rotor 11 and the end face of the gland part orthogonal to the axis X direction, and the measuring with the measuring jig 41 may be performed in another mode.
(42) [Shipping Method of Turbine Module]
(43) Next, a shipping method of the turbine module according to the present embodiment will be described.
(44) Hereinafter, a case of shipping the turbine module 1 shown in
(45) (Radial Direction Fixing Step)
(46) A radial direction fixing step includes fixing, with the radial direction fixing jig 32, the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 to the gland parts 21A, 21B in the radial direction.
(47) (Axial Direction Fixing Step)
(48) An axial direction fixing step includes, after performing the radial direction fixing step, inserting the axial direction fixing jig 31, to fix the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 to the gland parts 21A, 21B in the axial direction.
(49) (Shipping Step)
(50) The turbine module 1 is shipped after completing the fixing of the position of the turbine rotor 11 by the turbine rotor fixing device 30. In the present embodiment, during the shipping of the turbine module 1, the bearings 91, 92 are removed, and the turbine module 1 is fixed to the module support (not shown) or the like, mounted on a moving means, and shipped.
(51) With the above described configuration, according to the present embodiment, the following operations and effects are exhibited.
(52) According to the turbine rotor fixing device 30 of the present embodiment, the turbine rotor 11 is fixed to the turbine casing 51 via the gland parts 21A, 21B separately in the radial direction and axial direction of the turbine rotor, with two jigs including the radial direction fixing jig 32 and the axial direction fixing jig 31. Therefore, the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 in the radial direction and the relative movement in the axis X direction can be fixed more easily than in the case where the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 in the radial direction and the relative movement in the axis X direction are fixed with one jig. Furthermore, the jig to fix the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 in the radial direction and the jig to fix the relative movement in the axis X direction can be separately manufactured, and hence the manufacturing of the jigs is facilitated.
(53) If each of the gland parts 21A, 21B is provided with the seal ring grooves 22, 23, the radial direction fixing jig 32 and the axial direction fixing jig 31 can be incorporated in the seal ring grooves 22, 23 of the gland part 21A, 21B. Furthermore, for example, if the seal ring grooves 22, 23 are provided in the inner peripheral surface of the gland part 21A, 21B in the circumferential direction, each jig can be rotated along the circumferential direction to the clearance formed between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A, 21B, and inserted and incorporated in the seal ring groove 22, 23. Specifically, in a case where one jig to fix the turbine rotor 11 in the radial direction and the axial direction is used, portions of the jig that come in contact with the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A, 21B increase to fix the position of the jig, and the portions come in contact in a plurality of directions. Consequently, it is difficult to rotate and insert the jig in the circumferential direction between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A, 21B. On the other hand, in a case where, as in the present embodiment, two jigs including the jig to fix the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 in the radial direction and the jig to fix the relative movement in the axis X direction are separately used, portions of each jig that come in contact with the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A, 21B can be appropriately reduced to necessary portions. Consequently, it is easy to rotate and insert each jig in the circumferential direction between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A, 21B.
(54) If the axial direction fixing jig 31 is provided with the cutout 40, the clearance between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A, 21B can be visually verified through the cutout 40 from the position of the turbine rotor 11 on the rotor end X1 side outside the turbine casing 51 away from the axial direction fixing jig 31, without opening the upper half of the gland part 21A, 21B, and the clearance can be easily measured with the measuring instrument or the like. Therefore, even after the modularization of the turbine rotor 11 and turbine casing 51, the clearance dimension L between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A, 21B can be easily measured. Furthermore, the above clearance dimension L is measured after assembly, before the shipping and during the shipping of the turbine module 1. Consequently, it can be grasped, from a difference between respective measured values, whether the turbine rotor 11 moves in the radial direction due to vibration or the like during the shipping, and a movement amount can be grasped. This facilitates quality assurance after the shipping.
(55) If the measuring jig 41 is attachable to the rotor end X1 side of the turbine rotor 11 in the gland part 21A, 21B outside the turbine casing 51, the clearance between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A, 21B in the axis X direction can be verified with the measuring jig 41 from the position of the turbine rotor 11 on the rotor end X1 side, without opening the upper half of the gland part 21A, 21B. Therefore, even after the modularization of the turbine rotor 11 and the turbine casing 51, the clearance between the turbine rotor 11 and the gland part 21A, 21B in the axis X direction can be easily measured. Furthermore, the distance D between the measuring jig 41 and the turbine rotor 11 is measured after the assembly, before the shipping and during the shipping of the turbine module 1. Consequently, it can be grasped, from the difference between the respective measured values, whether the turbine rotor 11 moves in the axis X direction due to the vibration or the like during the shipping, and the movement amount can be grasped. This facilitates the quality assurance after the shipping.
(56) Since the turbine module 1 of the present embodiment comprises the turbine rotor fixing device 30, the fixing of the position of the turbine rotor 11 to the turbine casing 51 and measuring of a mutual positional relation can be facilitated. Therefore, the turbine module 1 having excellent operation properties can be obtained.
(57) In the shipping method of the turbine module 1 of the present embodiment, the turbine rotor 11 is fixed to the turbine casing 51 via the gland parts 21A, 21B, separately in the radial direction and axial direction of the turbine rotor, with two jigs (in two steps) including the radial direction fixing jig 32 (the radial direction fixing step) and the axial direction fixing jig 31 (the axial direction fixing step). Therefore, the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 in the radial direction and the relative movement in the axis X direction can be fixed more easily than in the case where the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 in the radial direction and the relative movement in the axis X direction are fixed with one jig. Furthermore, since the jig to fix the relative movement of the turbine rotor 11 in the radial direction and the jig to fix the relative movement in the axis X direction can be separately manufactured, the manufacturing of the jigs can be facilitated.
(58) Note that in the above described embodiment, the case of using the jigs having the semi-circular shape as the axial direction fixing jig 31 and the radial direction fixing jig 32 has been described as an example, but the shape of each jig is not limited to this example. Furthermore, there are not any special restrictions on the number of the respective jigs. That is, a number of axial direction fixing jigs 31 is not limited to one, and may be two or more. Furthermore, a number of the radial direction fixing jig 32 is not limited to two in an up-down direction, and may be three or more.
