Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour domaine la fixation des aubes sur les disques de rotors des turbomachinesThe present invention relates to the fixing of the blades on the rotor discs of turbomachinery
Sur les étages de compresseurs de petit diamètre, la solution employée pour fixer les aubes dans le disque du rotor consiste à avoir des aubes à pied dit marteau, c'est à dire en forme de bulbe qui vient se loger dans une gorge circonférentielle de la jante du disque dont la section correspond à celle du bulbe.On the stages of small diameter compressors, the solution used to fix the blades in the rotor disc consists in having blades known as hammer, that is to say in the shape of a bulb which is housed in a circumferential groove of the disc rim whose section corresponds to that of the bulb.
Dans les moteurs les plus modernes, le nombre des aubes a été augmenté, ce qui a nécessité la réduction du pas relatif des aubes et pour y parvenir a amené à réaliser des plates-formes en losange en lieu et place des plates-formes rectangulaires antérieures.In the most modern engines, the number of blades was increased, which required the reduction of the relative pitch of the blades and to achieve this led to the production of diamond platforms in place of the previous rectangular platforms .
Avec ces plates-formes en losange, la position du centre de poussée aérodynamique sur la pale correspond à un moment oui a tendance à faire pivoter l'aube dans la gorge. Cette tendance est encore accentuée par la présence de jeux circonférentiels entre les plates-formes pour tenir compte des tolérances sur leur largeur et par l'augmentation du jeu de base résultant de ce pivotement naturel de l'aube.With these diamond-shaped platforms, the position of the aerodynamic thrust center on the blade corresponds to a yes moment, which tends to rotate the blade in the groove. This trend is further accentuated by the presence of circumferential clearances between the platforms to take account of the tolerances over their width and by the increase in the basic clearance resulting from this natural pivoting of the blade.
Le pivotement est bien entendu contrecarré par le bulbe dont les flancs actifs viennent en contact avec les flancs de la gorge du disque sous l'effet du champ centrifuge. Cependant pendant la phase de démarrage, les efforts centrifuges ne sont pas suffisants pour empêcher tout pivotement de l'aube ce qui a pour conséquence une portée non homogène du bulbe dans la gorge et des variations dans le calage des aubes.The pivoting is of course counteracted by the bulb, the active sides of which come into contact with the sides of the groove of the disc under the effect of the centrifugal field. However, during the start-up phase, the centrifugal forces are not sufficient to prevent any pivoting of the blade, which results in a non-uniform bearing of the bulb in the groove and variations in the setting of the blades.
Pour éviter ce pivotement, l'état de la technique a mis en oeuvre diverses solutions. Ainsi, comme le montrent les figures 1 et 2 de la présente demande, qui reflète une première solution selon l'état actuel de la technique on avait réalisé des aubes comportant sur la face interne de leur plate-forme des rainures 1, 2 qui coopéraient avec des nervures circonférentielles 3, 4 de la jante 5 du disque afin que les plates-formes viennent en butée sur le disque. Cette solution a pour inconvénient de nécessiter l'épaississement de la plate-forme et l'élargissement de la jante du disque.To avoid this pivoting, the state of the art has implemented various solutions. Thus, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the present application, which reflects a first solution according to the current state of the art, blades had been made comprising on the internal face of their
La présente invention apporte un remède à ces inconvénients en procurant une solution qui assure un bon guidage circonférentiel de l'aube tout en évitant le recours à des nervures de la jante et aux rainures correspondantes du disque, ou à des plates-formes à bord circulaire.The present invention provides a remedy for these drawbacks by providing a solution which ensures good circumferential guidance of the blade while avoiding the use of rim ribs and the corresponding grooves of the disc, or platforms with circular edges. .
L'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de montage à positionnement angulaire amélioré d'aubes à pied marteau dans un rotor de compresseur ou de turbine, la jante du disque de rotor comportant une gorge circonférentielle débouchant sur la circonférence du disque en une rainure de largeur réduite, gorge dans laquelle sont maintenues des aubes comportant une pale fixée sur une plate-forme rectangulaire prolongée par une échasse à l'extrémité de laquelle est fixé, selon le plan de symétrie longitudinal de la plate-forme un pied en forme de bulbe de largeur circonférentielle réduite susceptible de coopérer avec la gorge, caractérisé en ce que l'échasse de l'aube s'étend sur toute la largeur circonférentielle de l'aube et coopère avec la rainure de la jante du disque pour assurer le guidage de l'aube.The subject of the invention is therefore a mounting device with improved angular positioning of hammer foot vanes in a compressor or turbine rotor, the rim of the rotor disc comprising a circumferential groove opening out on the circumference of the disc in a groove of reduced width, groove in which blades are maintained comprising a blade fixed on a rectangular platform extended by a stilt at the end of which is fixed, according to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the platform, a bulbous foot of reduced circumferential width capable of cooperating with the groove, characterized in that the stilt of the blade extends over the entire circumferential width of the blade and cooperates with the groove of the rim of the disc to guide the blade.

En regard des figures 3, 4 et 5, on voit que l'aube comporte une pale 6 et une plate-forme 7 sous laquelle est usiné, ou venu de fonderie, un bulbe 8 formant le pied d'aube destiné à assurer le blocage de l'arbre dans la gorge 9 correspondante du disque.With reference to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, it can be seen that the blade has a
Le bulbe 8 est relié à la plate-forme 7 par une échasse 10 qui traverse la rainure 11, de largeur réduite qui débouche de la gorge 9 vers la périphérie de la jante du disque.The
Selon l'invention l'échasse 10 est prolongée de part et d'autre du bulbe 8, sur toute la largeur circonférentielle de l'aube de sorte que la face amont 10a et la face aval 10b coopèrent avec les bords internes de la rainure circonférentielle 11 de la jante et assurent un guidage précis de l'aube sur le disque, le guidage étant largement amélioré du fait qu'il s'exerce sur toute la largeur circonférentielle de l'aube.According to the invention the
Le fait d'assurer ce guidage au moyen des faces 10a, 10b de l'échasse permet de réaliser un gain de masse important par rapport à la solution des figures 1 et 2 et donc de réduire les moments d'inertie des disques équipés de leurs aubes.The fact of ensuring this guidance by means of the
Dans la variante de la figure 5 l'échasse a sur toute sa longueur, c'est à dire sur toute la largeur circonférentielle de la plate forme une hauteur radiale constante et le guidage est assuré sur toute cette longueur.In the variant of FIG. 5, the stilt has over its entire length, that is to say over the entire circumferential width of the platform, a constant radial height and guidance is provided over this entire length.
Dans la variante de la figure 6, on a réalisé dans l'échasse 10 des évidements 12 de chaque côté du bulbe de sorte que seuls subsistent des bossages 110 à chaque extrémité de la plate-forme.In the variant of FIG. 6,
La qualité du guidage de l'aube est respectée tout en assurant un alègement supplémentaire de l'aube.The quality of the dawn guidance is respected while providing additional lightening of the dawn.
L'invention trouve son intérêt dans les compresseurs de turbomachines, en particulier à haute pression, de petit diamètre et de faible pas.The invention finds its interest in compressors of turbomachines, in particular at high pressure, of small diameter and of small pitch.
