(20) Hereinafter, an embodiment of a blade of the steam turbine of the present invention will be described.

(21) The blade of the steam turbine is at least one of the plurality of turbine blades 32 and the plurality of turbine vanes 42 provided in the steam turbine 1. In the present embodiment, the blade of the steam turbine includes at least one of the turbine blades 32 and the turbine vanes 42 of the final stage disposed on the most downstream side Dad of the plurality of turbine blades 32 and the plurality of turbine vanes 42. Specifically, the blade of the steam turbine of the present embodiment is the turbine blades 32 and the turbine vanes 42 of the sixth stage 56 and the turbine blades 32 and the turbine vanes 42 of the seventh stage 57 of the plurality of turbine blades 32 and the plurality of turbine vanes 42.

(22) Here, in the first embodiment, as an example of the blade of the steam turbine, the turbine blade 32 of the seventh stage 57 of the turbine blades 32 and the turbine vanes 42 of the sixth stage 56 and the turbine blades 32 and the turbine vanes 42 of the seventh stage 57 are described.

(23) The turbine blade 32 of the seventh stage 57 includes a blade body 70, a shroud 34, and a platform 35. The blade body 70 extends in the radial direction Dr. The shroud 34 is provided on the radially outer side Dro of the blade body 70. The platform 35 is provided on the radially inner side Dri of the blade body 70. An annular space between the shroud 34 and the platform 35 forms a portion of the steam main flow path 15 through which the main steam S flows.

(24) The blade body 70 is disposed in the steam main flow path 15. As shown in FIG. 2, the blade body 70 has an airfoil cross section in which a concave positive-pressure surface 81 and a convex negative-pressure surface 82 are continuous to each other via a leading edge 71 and a trailing edge 72. The blade body 70 extends in a blade height direction Z which intersects the airfoil cross section. The blade body 70 extends in the radial direction Dr with respect to the rotor shaft 21. A first flow path 91 and second flow paths 92 are formed inside the blade body 70.

(25) In addition, in the present embodiment, the blade height direction Z of the blade body 70 is the direction in which the blade 70 extends and is the radial direction Dr in the present embodiment. Moreover, in the present embodiment, a blade chord direction X described later of the blade body 70 is a direction orthogonal to the blade height direction Z and is a direction in which a blade chord of the blade body 70 extends.

(26) Moreover, a blade surface direction W of the blade body 70 is a direction along an outer surface such as the positive-pressure surface 81 or the negative-pressure surface 82, and is a direction including a component in the blade chord direction X. That is, the blade surface direction W is a direction in which the blade surface (positive-pressure surface 81 or the negative-pressure surface 82) of the blade body 70 extends in an airfoil cross section orthogonal to the blade height direction Z.

(27) The first flow path 91 is formed to extend in the blade height direction Z inside the blade body 70. Steam having a pressure higher than that of the main steam S flowing through the steam main flow path 15 to which the positive-pressure surface 81 and the negative-pressure surface 82 are exposed flows through the first flow path 91. The first flow path 91 communicates with a rotor steam flow path 20a described later. The steam supplied from the rotor steam flow path 20a is supplied to the second flow paths 92 and third flow paths 93 through the first flow path 91. The first flow path 91 is formed in a circular shape in the airfoil cross section. The first flow path 91 is formed at a position close to a center position in the blade surface direction W from the leading edge 71 or the trailing edge 72 in the airfoil cross section.

(28) The steam flowing through the first flow path 91 is ejected from negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a formed on the negative-pressure surface 82 through the second flow paths 92. Each of the second flow paths 92 extends from the first flow path 91 toward the negative-pressure surface opening hole 92a in the airfoil cross section. The second flow path 92 of the present embodiment is formed so as to have a sectional flow path area smaller than that of the first flow path 91. The second flow path 92 is formed for each negative-pressure surface opening hole 92a. The plurality of second flow paths 92 are formed so as to radially extend from one first flow path 91 in the airfoil cross section.

(29) The negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed closer to the trailing edge 72 than the center position of the negative-pressure surface 82 in the blade surface direction W in the airfoil cross section. The negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed on the negative-pressure surface 82 on the radially inner side Dri from the center position of the blade body 70 in the radial direction Dr of the rotor shaft 21. That is, the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed closer to the platform 35 than the center position of the blade body 70 in the blade height direction Z. In the present embodiment, the plurality of (two in the present embodiment) negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed at intervals in the blade surface direction W. In addition, the plurality of negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed at intervals in the radial direction Dr. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, six negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed in the turbine blade 32 of the final stage in the radial direction Dr, five negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed in the turbine vane 42 of the final stage in the radial direction Dr, four negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed in the turbine blade 32 of the sixth stage 56 in the radial direction Dr, and four negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed in the turbine vane 42 of the sixth stage 56 in the radial direction Dr.

(30) In this way, the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed such that the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a of the blade of the steam turbine disposed on the upstream side Dau are disposed at positions closer to the rotor shaft 21. That is, compared to the turbine blade 32 of the seventh stage 57, the turbine vane 42 of the seventh stage 57 has the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a formed closer to the rotor shaft 21. In addition, compared to the turbine vane 42 of the seventh stage 57, the turbine blade 32 or the turbine vane 42 of the sixth stage 56 has the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a formed closer to the rotor shaft 21.

(31) In addition, although it is not described, in the first embodiment, each of the turbine blade 32 and the turbine vane 42 of the sixth stage 56 and the turbine vane 42 of the seventh stage 57 has the blade body 70 similar to that of the turbine blade 32 of the seventh stage 57. That is, in the present embodiment, each of the turbine blade 32 and the turbine vane 42 of the sixth stage 56 and the turbine vane 42 of the seventh stage 57 has the blade bodies 70 having structures similar to each other except for the number of the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a and the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a of each of the turbine blade 32 and the turbine vane 42 of the sixth stage 56 is different from the number of those of the turbine blade 32 of the seventh stage 57.

(32) The rotor steam flow path 20a through which the high-pressure steam flows is formed in the rotor shaft 21. The rotor steam flow path 20a extends from the seal space 17 to the first flow paths 91 of the turbine blades 32 of the sixth stage 56 and the seventh stage 57. A portion of the main steam S leaked from the steam main flow path 15 in the vicinity of the speed-adjusting stage 50a to the seal space 17 is supplied to the first flow path 91 of each turbine blade 32 through the rotor steam flow path 20a. That is, a portion of the main steam S which has a pressure higher than that of the main steam S flowing through the steam main flow paths 15 of the sixth stage 56 and the seventh stage 57 and flows through the steam main flow path 15 in the vicinity of the speed-adjusting stage 50a is supplied to the first flow path 91 through the rotor steam flow path 20a of the present embodiment as steam.

(33) Casing steam flow paths 10a through which high-pressure steam flows are formed in the casing 10. The casing steam flow paths 10a penetrate the outer ring 43 from the outside and extend to the first flow paths 91 of the turbine vanes 42 of the sixth stage 56 and the seventh stage 57. The high-pressure steam extracted before being supplied to the nozzle chamber 11 is supplied to the first flow paths 91 of the turbine vanes 42 of the sixth stage 56 and the seventh stage 57 through the casing steam flow path 10a. That is, a portion of the main steam S which is extracted before being supplied to the nozzle chamber 11 and has a pressure higher than that of the main steam S flowing through the steam main flow paths 15 of the sixth stage 56 and the seventh stage 57 is supplied to the first flow path 91 of the turbine vane 42 through the casing steam flow path 10a of the present embodiment as steam.

(34) As described above, according to the turbine blade 32 or the turbine vane 42 of the first embodiment, a portion of the main steam S on the upstream side Dau is supplied to the first flow path 91 via the rotor steam flow path 20a or the casing steam flow path 10a. Accordingly, the steam having the pressure higher than that of the main steam S flowing through the surrounding steam main flow path 15 can be supplied to the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a. Accordingly, the steam can be ejected from the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a to the trailing edge 72 side of the negative-pressure surface 82. Therefore, the steam ejected from the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a can be joined to the flow of the main steam S flowing to the trailing edge 72 side along the negative-pressure surface 82. As a result, the development of a boundary layer around the trailing edge 72 side of the negative-pressure surface 82 can be suppressed by the ejected steam. Accordingly, separation on the negative-pressure surface 82 can be effectively suppressed.

(35) In addition, the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed closer to the trailing edge 72 than the center position in the blade surface direction W, and thus, it is possible to intensively supply the steam to the negative-pressure surface 82 on the trailing edge 72 side. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the separation effectively using the steam on the trailing edge 72 side of the negative-pressure surface 82 at which the separation is easily generated.

(36) In addition, the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed closer to the platform 35 than the center position in the blade height direction Z, and it is possible to intensively supply the steam to the vicinity of the platform 35 which is positioned on the radially inner side Dri in the negative-pressure surface 82. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively suppress the separation using the steam in the vicinity of the platform 35 of the negative-pressure surface 82 at which the separation is easily generated.

(37) In addition, the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed in the turbine blade 32 and the turbine vane 42 of the final stage. Therefore, the main steam S flowing backward from the exhaust chamber 13 side where an outlet of the steam main flow path 15 is formed toward the steam main flow path chamber 12 side can be pushed back to the exhaust chamber 13 side from the final stage.

(38) In the steam turbine 1, the flow rate of main steam S flowing through the steam main flow path 15 decreases when a low load operation or a low vacuum operation is performed. As a result, the main steam S is likely to flow backward in the vicinity of the final stage close to the outlet. Particularly, as shown in FIG. 3, the main steam S is collected on a tip side of the blade body 70 by a centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the turbine blade 32. As a result, in the steam main flow path 15 in which the final stage is provided, the flow rate of the main steam S in the region on the radially inner side Dri of the blade body 70 which is the region closer to the rotor shaft 21 side easily decreases.

(39) Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the steam is ejected from the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a of the turbine blade 32 or the turbine vane 42 of the final stage, and thus, it is possible to increase the flow rate of the main steam S which flows through the steam main flow path 15 on the radially inner side Dri of the final stage. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the main steam S in the vicinity of the final stage from flowing backward.

(40) In addition, in the above-described steam turbine 1, the turbine blade 32 or the turbine vane 42 having the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a is provided, and thus, it is possible to suppress the separation of the main steam S in the steam main flow path 15, and it is possible to improve blade efficiency. In addition, the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are provided on the turbine blade 32 and the turbine vane 42 of the final stage, and thus, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a backflow of the main steam S, and it is possible to decrease a loss generated by the backflow. Accordingly, it is possible to improve operation efficiency of the steam turbine.

Second Embodiment

(41) Next, a second embodiment of the steam turbine of the present invention will be described. In the steam turbine shown in the second embodiment, some turbine blades and turbine vanes are different from those of the steam turbine 1 of the first embodiment. Accordingly, in descriptions of the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same portions as those of the first embodiment, and overlapping descriptions are omitted. That is, descriptions of the entire configuration of the steam turbine common to the configurations described in the first embodiment are omitted.

(42) In a steam turbine TA of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, in the blade of the steam turbine, only a turbine blade 32A and a turbine vane 42A of the seventh stage 57 are different from those of the first embodiment. Here, in the second embodiment, as examples of the blade of the steam turbine, the turbine blade 32A of the seventh stage 57 of the turbine blade 32A and the turbine vane 42A of the seventh stage 57 are described.

(43) In a blade body 70A of the turbine blade 32A of the second embodiment, the first flow path 91, the second flow paths 92, and third flow paths 93 are formed inside the blade body 70A. The shapes of the first flow path 91 and the second flow paths 92 of the second embodiment are similar to those of the first embodiment.

(44) As shown in FIG. 5, the steam flowing through the first flow path 91 is ejected from the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a formed on the positive-pressure surface 81 through the third flow paths 93. Each of the third flow paths 93 extends from the first flow path 91 toward the positive-pressure surface opening hole 93a in the airfoil cross section. The third flow path 93 of the present embodiment extends in a direction different from the second flow path 92 with a camber line as a boundary. The third flow path 93 is formed so as to have the sectional flow path area smaller than that of the first flow path 91. The third flow path 93 of the present embodiment is formed to have the second flow path area similar to that of the second flow path 92. The third flow path 93 is formed for each positive-pressure surface opening hole 93a. The plurality of third flow paths 93 are formed to radially extend from one first flow path 91 together with the second flow paths 92.

(45) The positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a are formed closer to the trailing edge 72 than the center position of the positive-pressure surface 81 in the blade surface direction W in the airfoil cross section. The positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a are formed on the positive-pressure surface 81 on the radially inner side Dri from the center position of the blade body 70A in the radial direction Dr. That is, the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a are formed closer to the platform 35 than the center position of the blade body 70A in the blade height direction Z. In the present embodiment, the plurality of (for example, two in the present embodiment) positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a are formed at intervals in the blade surface direction W. In addition, the plurality of positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a are formed at intervals in the radial direction Dr. Specifically, in the present embodiment, six positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a are formed at equal intervals in the turbine blade 32A of the final stage in the radial direction Dr, and five positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a are formed at equal intervals in the turbine vane 42A of the final stage in the radial direction Dr.

(46) In this way, the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a are formed such that the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a of the blade of the steam turbine disposed on the upstream side Dau are disposed at positions closer to the rotor shaft 21. That is, compared to the turbine blade 32A of the seventh stage 57, the turbine vane 42A of the seventh stage 57 has the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a formed closer to the rotor shaft 21.

(47) In addition, although it is not described, in the second embodiment, the turbine vane 42A of the seventh stage 57 has the blade body 70A similar to that of the turbine blade 32A of the seventh stage 57.

(48) According to the turbine blade 32A or the turbine vane 42A of the above-described second embodiment, the steam can be ejected from the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a to the trailing edge 72 side of the positive-pressure surface 81. Therefore, the steam ejected from the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a can be joined to the flow of the main steam S flowing to the trailing edge 72 side along the negative-pressure surfaces 82 of the other turbine blades 32A or the turbine vanes 42A adjacent in the circumferential direction Dc. That is, the steam can be supplied not only from the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a but also from the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a to the region where the separation is likely to occur. As a result, it is possible to suppress the development of a boundary layer in the vicinity of the trailing edge 72 side on the negative-pressure surfaces 82 of the other turbine blades 32A or the turbine vanes 42A adjacent in the circumferential direction Dc by a lot of steam, with high accuracy. Accordingly, the separation on the negative-pressure surface 82 can be effectively suppressed.

(49) In addition, the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a are formed on the trailing edge 72 side from the center position in the blade surface direction W. Accordingly, the steam can be intensively supplied not only from the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a but also from the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a to the negative-pressure surface 82 of the adjacent turbine blade 32A or the adjacent turbine vane 42A on the trailing edge 72 side. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the separation with high accuracy effectively using the steam on the trailing edge 72 side of the negative-pressure surface 82 at which the separation is easily generated.

(50) In addition, the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are formed on the platform 35 side from the center position in the blade height direction Z. Accordingly, it is possible to intensively supply the steam not only from the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a but also from the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a to the vicinity of the platform 35 which is positioned on the radially inner side Dri in the negative-pressure surface 82 of the adjacent turbine blade 32A or the adjacent turbine vane 42A. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the separation with high accuracy effectively using the steam in the vicinity of the platform 35 of the negative-pressure surface 82 at which the separation is easily generated.

(51) In addition, not only the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a but also the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a are formed in the turbine blade 32A and the turbine vane 42A of the final stage. Accordingly, the main steam S flowing backward from the exhaust chamber 13 side where the outlet of the steam main flow path 15 is formed can be pushed back to the exhaust chamber 13 side by a lot of steam. That is, the steam is ejected from the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a and the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a of the turbine blade 32A or the turbine vane 42A of the final stage, and thus, it is possible to largely increase the flow rate of the main steam S flowing through the steam main flow path 15 at the final stage. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the backflow of the main steam S in the vicinity of the final stage, with high accuracy.

(52) In addition, in the above-described steam turbine 1A, the turbine blade 32A or the turbine vane 42A having the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a and the positive-pressure surface opening holes 93a is provided, and thus, it is possible to further suppress the separation of the main steam S in the steam main flow path 15, and it is possible to largely improve blade efficiency. In addition, the negative-pressure surface opening holes 92a are provided on the turbine blade 32A and the turbine vane 42A of the final stage, and thus, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of the backflow of the main steam S with high accuracy, and it is possible to largely decrease a loss generated by the backflow. Accordingly, it is possible to largely improve operation efficiency.

(53) Hereinbefore, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the respective configurations and combinations thereof in the respective embodiments are merely examples, and additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications of configurations are possible within the scope which does not depart from the gist of the present invention. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and is limited by only claims.

(54) In addition, in the first embodiment, only the sixth stage 56 and the seventh stage 57 have the first flow paths 91 and the second flow paths 92, and in the second embodiment, only the seventh stage 57 has the first flow paths 91, the second flow paths 92, and the third flow paths 93. However, the configuration of the blade of the steam turbine is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, in order to suppress the separation, the turbine blades 32 and the turbine vanes 42 of all the stages 50 may have the blade bodies 70 and 70A of the present embodiments, and only the turbine blade 32 and the turbine vane 42 on the upstream side Dau may have the blade bodies 70 and 70A. In addition, in order to suppress the backflow of the main steam S at the final stage, only the turbine blade 32A at the final stage may have the blade bodies 70 and 70A of the present embodiment.

(55) Moreover, the steam supplied to the first flow path 91 may be any steam as long as a pressure of the steam is higher than that of the main steam S flow through the periphery of the blade of the steam turbine in which the first flow path 91 is formed. Accordingly, the steam is not limited to the steam supplied from the rotor steam flow path 20a or the casing steam flow path 10a of the present embodiment. That is, the steam flowing through the first flow path 91 may be the steam obtained by extracting a portion of the main steam S flowing through the steam main flow path 15 on the upstream side Dau. Accordingly, the steam supplied to the first flow path 91 may use a portion leaked from the main steam S flowing through the periphery of the turbine blade 32 or the turbine vane 42 one stage before.
