Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande pour pivot intégré dans un collecteur. Elle s'applique en particulier dans le domaine de l'aéronautique, aux turbomachines comportant un aubage directeur d'entrée d'air à aubes à calage variable.The invention relates to a control device for a pivot. integrated in a collector. It applies in particular in the field of aeronautics, turbomachinery having a direct air inlet vane variable timing.

Certaines turbomachines comportent des aubes directrices à calage variable permettant de régulariser le flux d'air alimentant les étages des compresseurs situés en aval. Les aubes comportent des pivots qui s'étendent à travers une enveloppe délimitant une veine d'écoulement.Certain turbomachinery have guide vanes variable setting to regulate the air flow supplying the compressor stages located downstream. The vanes have pivots which extend through a envelope delimiting a flow vein.

Chaque pivot est entraíné en rotation par l'intermédiaire d'une biellette reliée à un mécanisme de commande tel qu'un anneau dont le déplacement fait basculer toutes les biellettes à l'unisson.Each pivot is rotated through a link connected to a control mechanism such as a ring whose displacement causes all the links in unison.

Pour éliminer le givre susceptible de se former à la surface des aubes mobiles, il est connu, notamment du document FR-A-2 599 785, de prélever de l'air chaud dans le compresseur haute pression, de l'amener jusqu'à un collecteur d'air, puis d'injecter et de faire circuler cet air à l'intérieur des aubes, l'air étant injecté par exemple, par l'intermédiaire des pivots.To remove frost that may form on the surface moving blades, it is known, in particular from the document FR-A-2 599 785, to draw hot air from the high pressure compressor, bring it to a manifold air, then inject and circulate this air to inside the blades, air being injected for example, by through the pivots.

Cependant, l'espace disponible entre le carter du moteur et les extrémités des aubes est généralement réduit et il est souvent difficile, voire impossible de loger dans cet espace, un dispositif de commande d'orientation des aubes et un dispositif de dégivrage des aubes mobiles. However, the space available between the motor housing and the tips of the blades is usually reduced and it's often difficult, if not impossible, to stay in this space, a blade orientation control device and a moving blade defrosting device.

Le but de l'invention est de résoudre ce problème et de réaliser un dispositif de commande pour pivot intégré dans un collecteur permettant le dégivrage des aubes mobiles et assurant simultanément l'orientation des aubes mobiles. Pour cela, le dispositif de commande comporte des moyens de fixation et d'articulation du pivot montés dans un alésage d'une plate-forme fixée au collecteur par des brides amont et aval. Les moyens de fixation et d'articulation du pivot comportent une douille creuse de frottement munie d'une fente circonférentielle dans laquelle est insérée une première partie d'une biellette. Des moyens de commande de l'orientation des aubes mobiles sont montés à l'extérieur du collecteur et reliés à une deuxième partie de la biellette. Des lumières correspondantes sont aménagées dans le collecteur et dans la plate-forme de façon à assurer la manoeuvrabilité du dispositif de commande à calage variable par l'intermédiaire de la biellette. La première partie de la biellette est insérée dans l'alésage de la plate-forme par les lumières du collecteur et de la plate-forme et comporte un oeil dans lequel est inséré le pivot creux. Les lumières du collecteur et de la plate-forme sont disposées en regard de la fente de la douille creuse.The object of the invention is to solve this problem and to create a pivot control device integrated in a manifold allowing the defrosting of the moving blades and simultaneously ensuring the orientation of the movable blades. For this, the control device includes means for fixing and articulation of the pivot mounted in a bore a platform fixed to the collector by upstream flanges and downstream. The means of fixing and articulation of the pivot have a hollow friction sleeve with a slot circumferential in which is inserted a first part of a link. Control means for the orientation of the movable blades are mounted outside the collector and connected to a second part of the link. Corresponding lights are fitted in the collector and into the platform so as to ensure the maneuverability of the variable-timing control device through the link. The first part of the rod is inserted into the bore of the platform by manifold and platform lights and has an eye into which the hollow pivot is inserted. The lights of collector and platform are arranged opposite the slot in the hollow socket.

La deuxième partie de la biellette est disposée à l'extérieur du collecteur et reliée d'une part à la première partie de la biellette et d'autre part aux moyens de commande de l'orientation des aubes mobiles.The second part of the link is arranged outside of the collector and connected on the one hand to the first part of the connecting rod and secondly to the control means of the orientation of the movable blades.

Le dégivrage de l'aube mobile est assuré par l'intermédiaire du pivot creux qui permet la circulation de l'air chaud entre le collecteur et l'intérieur des aubes.Defrosting of the moving blade is ensured through of the hollow pivot which allows the circulation of hot air between the manifold and the inside of the blades.

Les fixations bride contre bride entre le collecteur et la plate-forme assurent l'étanchéité entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du collecteur. The flange against flange fixings between the manifold and the platform seal between the interior and outside the collector.

Selon l'invention le dispositif de commande pour pivot intégré dans un collecteur d'air dans lequel le pivot d'une aube mobile à calage variable est entraíné en rotation par l'intermédiaire d'une biellette reliée à des moyens de commande de l'orientation de l'aube mobile et comportant des moyens de fixation et d'articulation du pivot montés dans un alésage d'une plate-forme fixée au collecteur d'air par des brides amont et aval est caractérisé en ce que les moyens de fixation et d'articulation du pivot comportent une douille creuse de frottement fixée dans l'alésage de la plate-forme, la douille creuse comportant une fente circonférentielle dans laquelle est insérée une première partie de la biellette.According to the invention the control device for pivot integrated in an air manifold in which the pivot of a movable blade with variable setting is rotated by through a link connected to means of control of the orientation of the movable blade and comprising means of fixing and articulation of the pivot mounted in a bore of a platform fixed to the air collector by upstream and downstream flanges is characterized in that the means of fixing and articulation of the pivot include a socket friction hollow fixed in the bore of the platform, the hollow socket having a circumferential slot in which is inserted a first part of the link.

Other features and advantages of the invention will appear clearly in the following description given by way of non-limiting example and made with reference to the appended figures which represent:
  • Figure 1, a schematic view in axial section of an embodiment of a timing control device of a guide vane of a turbojet, according to the invention;

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représentée sur la figure 1, l'entrée d'air du turboréacteur est munie de bras fixes 1 et d'aubes directrices 2 mobiles autour d'un axe radial XX' passant par des pivots 3 situés aux extrémités supérieures des aubes mobiles 2.
Les bras fixes 1, les aubes mobiles 2 et les pivots 3 sont creux de manière à permettre la circulation de l'air chaud de dégivrage prélevé à la sortie du compresseur haute pression non représenté. Les bras fixes 1 et les pivots 3 des aubes mobiles 2 sont montés dans des plates-formes 4 extérieures mises en contact entre elles, et sont coiffés par un collecteur d'air 5 solidaire d'une virole externe 6.
Les plates-formes 4 comportent deux brides latérales amont 7 et aval 8 qui sont fixées à des brides correspondantes du collecteur 5 par exemple au moyen d'un système de vis et d'écrou. Les plates-formes 4 forment avec le collecteur 5 une enceinte torique qui reçoit, contient et distribue l'air de dégivrage des bras fixes 1 et des aubes mobiles 2. L'étanchéité entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du collecteur est assurée grâce aux fixations bride contre bride entre le collecteur 5 et les plate-formes 4. Chaque plate-forme 4 comporte sur sa face externe, entre les deux brides latérales 7,8, une région transversale épaisse traversée par deux alésages 9, 10, respectivement amont et aval orientés radialement. Les bras fixes 1 sont encastrés et boulonnés dans le premier alésage amont 9 de la région épaissie de la plate-forme 4. Les pivots 3 des aubes mobiles 2 sont montés dans le deuxième alésage aval 10 et pivotent dans ce deuxième alésage par l'intermédiaire d'une douille creuse de frottement 11 solidaire de la plate-forme 4. Le pivotement des pivots 3 des aubes mobiles 2 autour de l'axe radial XX' est commandé par une biellette constituée de deux parties respectivement amont 12 et aval 13. Les parties amont 12 et aval 13 sont respectivement disposées à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du collecteur 5. La partie amont 12 est insérée dans l'alésage 10 de la plate-forme 4 par l'intermédiaire de lumières pratiquées respectivement dans le collecteur 5, dans la plate-forme 4 et dans la douille creuse de frottement 11, les différentes lumières étant disposées en regard les unes des autres.In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the air intake of the turbojet engine is provided with fixed arms 1 and guide vanes 2 movable about a radial axis XX 'passing through pivots 3 located at the upper ends movable blades 2.
The fixed arms 1, the movable vanes 2 and the pivots 3 are hollow so as to allow the circulation of the hot defrost air taken at the outlet of the high pressure compressor not shown. The fixed arms 1 and the pivots 3 of the movable vanes 2 are mounted in external platforms 4 brought into contact with each other, and are capped by an air manifold 5 secured to an external ferrule 6.
The platforms 4 comprise two upstream 7 and downstream 8 side flanges which are fixed to corresponding flanges of the manifold 5 for example by means of a screw and nut system. The platforms 4 form with the manifold 5 a toroidal enclosure which receives, contains and distributes the defrosting air from the fixed arms 1 and the moving vanes 2. The sealing between the inside and the outside of the manifold is ensured by to the flange-to-flange fastenings between the manifold 5 and the platforms 4. Each platform 4 has on its external face, between the two lateral flanges 7,8, a thick transverse region traversed by two bores 9, 10, respectively upstream and downstream oriented radially. The fixed arms 1 are embedded and bolted in the first upstream bore 9 of the thickened region of the platform 4. The pivots 3 of the movable blades 2 are mounted in the second downstream bore 10 and pivot in this second bore via of a hollow friction sleeve 11 secured to the platform 4. The pivoting of the pivots 3 of the movable vanes 2 around the radial axis XX 'is controlled by a rod made up of two parts respectively upstream 12 and downstream 13. The upstream parts 12 and downstream 13 are respectively arranged inside and outside the manifold 5. The upstream portion 12 is inserted into the bore 10 of the platform 4 by means of lights made respectively in the manifold 5, in the platform 4 and in the hollow friction sleeve 11, the different lights being arranged opposite one another.

La partie aval 13 est liée par une première extrémité à la partie amont 12 par l'intermédiaire d'un contre-écrou de blocage 14 et comporte une deuxième extrémité mobile linéairement dans une rotule 15 solidaire d'un anneau de commande et de synchronisation 16. La commande du pivotement de toutes les aubes mobiles est effectuée simultanément par l'intermédiaire de l'anneau de commande de façon connue en soi.The downstream part 13 is linked by a first end to the upstream part 12 by means of a lock nut blocking 14 and has a second movable end linearly in a ball joint 15 integral with a ring of control and synchronization 16. Control of pivoting of all the moving blades is performed simultaneously by via the control ring in a manner known in oneself.

La figure 2 représente une vue en perspective et éclatée des moyens de fixation et d'articulation des pivots des aubes mobiles, selon l'invention.FIG. 2 represents a perspective and exploded view of the means of fixing and articulation of the pivots of the blades mobile, according to the invention.

L'articulation du pivot 3 d'une aube mobile 2 à l'intérieur de l'alésage aval 10 de la plate-forme 4 est effectuée par l'intermédiaire d'une douille creuse de frottement 11. La douille creuse comporte, dans sa région supérieure, une fente 20 circonférentielle de largeur prédéterminée. La douille creuse 11 est mise en place et fixée dans l'alésage aval 10 de la plate-forme 4 de façon que la fente 20 soit disposée en regard de la lumière 21 de la plate-forme 4. La partie amont 12 de la biellette comporte une zone plane percée à son extrémité d'un oeil 22 de forme et de section prédéterminée, par exemple en forme de carré. Cette zone plane est insérée dans l'alésage aval 10 de la plate-forme 4 par l'intermédiaire de la lumière 21 de la plate-forme et de la fente 20 de la douille creuse 11. La forme et la largeur de la fente 20 et de la lumière 21 sont imposées par la cinématique de la biellette 12. Un embout creux 17 est fixé de façon permanente, par exemple par frettage, sur le pivot 3 de l'aube mobile 2. L'embout 17 comporte une partie supérieure filetée 18, une partie intermédiaire 19 de forme et de section prédéterminée, et une partie inférieure dans laquelle est emboíté le pivot 3. La forme de la partie intermédiaire 19 est complémentaire de la forme de l'oeil 22 de la partie amont 12 de la biellette et sa section est légèrement inférieure à celle de l'oeil 22 de manière que lorsque le pivot 3 muni de son embout 17 est mis en place dans l'alésage 10 de la plate-forme 4, la partie intermédiaire 19 s'emboíte dans l'oeil 22 de la biellette 12, l'oeil 22 épousant exactement la forme de la partie intermédiaire 19 de l'embout 17.
Le pivot 3 de l'aube mobile 2 et la partie amont 12 de la biellette sont rendus solidaires en rotation par un moyen de serrage, par exemple un écrou épaulé 23 vissé sur la partie supérieure filetée 18 de l'embout 17.The articulation of the pivot 3 of a movable blade 2 inside the downstream bore 10 of the platform 4 is effected by means of a hollow friction sleeve 11. The hollow sleeve comprises, in its upper region, a circumferential slot 20 of predetermined width. The hollow socket 11 is put in place and fixed in the downstream bore 10 of the platform 4 so that the slot 20 is disposed opposite the light 21 of the platform 4. The upstream part 12 of the link comprises a flat area pierced at its end with an eye 22 of predetermined shape and section, for example in the shape of a square. This flat area is inserted into the downstream bore 10 of the platform 4 via the lumen 21 of the platform and the slot 20 of the hollow bushing 11. The shape and the width of the slot 20 and light 21 are imposed by the kinematics of the link 12. A hollow tip 17 is permanently fixed, for example by shrinking, on the pivot 3 of the movable blade 2. The tip 17 has a threaded upper part 18, an intermediate part 19 of predetermined shape and section, and a lower part in which the pivot 3 is fitted. The shape of the intermediate part 19 is complementary to the shape of the eye 22 of the upstream part 12 of the link and its section is slightly smaller than that of the eye 22 so that when the pivot 3 provided with its end piece 17 is put in place in the bore 10 of the platform 4, the intermediate part 19 fits into the eye 22 of the link 12, the eye 22 fitting exactly the shape of the intermediate part 19 of the end piece 17.
The pivot 3 of the moving blade 2 and the upstream part 12 of the link are made integral in rotation by a tightening means, for example a shouldered nut 23 screwed onto the threaded upper part 18 of the end piece 17.

Pour que l'orientation des aubes soit effectuée avec précision, il est nécessaire que l'orientation de la partie intermédiaire 19 de l'embout 17 soit effectué de façon précise par rapport a l'aube mobile 2.
De même, la fente 20 de la douille 11 doit être orientée très précisément par rapport à la plate-forme 4. A cet effet, il est préférable d'utiliser un outillage de montage ou un détrompeur. For the orientation of the blades to be carried out with precision, it is necessary that the orientation of the intermediate part 19 of the end piece 17 is carried out precisely with respect to the movable blade 2.
Likewise, the slot 20 of the socket 11 must be oriented very precisely with respect to the platform 4. For this purpose, it is preferable to use a mounting tool or a polarizing device.

Lorsque le pivot 2 muni de son embout 17 est monté dans la plate-forme 4 avec la douille de frottement 11, la partie amont 12 de la biellette et l'écrou 23 de serrage, la plate-forme 4 est mise en place dans le collecteur 5 et les brides latérales amont 7 et aval 8 sont fixées à des brides correspondantes du collecteur 5. A cet effet, les brides latérales 7, 8 comportent plusieurs perçages 24 dans lesquels sont insérés de manière connue des moyens de fixation non représentés.When the pivot 2 provided with its end piece 17 is mounted in the platform 4 with the friction sleeve 11, the part upstream 12 of the rod and the nut 23 of tightening, the platform 4 is placed in the manifold 5 and the flanges lateral upstream 7 and downstream 8 are fixed to flanges of the manifold 5. For this purpose, the flanges side 7, 8 have several holes 24 in which are inserted in a known manner not fixing means represented.

De même, des perçages 25 sont prévus pour assurer la fixation des différentes plate-formes entre-elles.Likewise, holes 25 are provided for fixing different platforms between them.

La partie aval 13 de la biellette disposée à l'extérieur du collecteur 5 est alors fixée par une première extrémité à la partie amont 12 par exemple par vissage puis serrage au moyen d'un contre-écrou 14. La partie aval 13 de la biellette comporte une deuxième extrémité par exemple de section carrée, liée à des moyens, non représentés sur la figure 2, de commande et de synchronisation du pivotement des aubes par l'intermédiaire de la rotule 15 solidaire de l'anneau de commande 16.The downstream part 13 of the link arranged outside the manifold 5 is then fixed by a first end to the upstream part 12 for example by screwing then tightening by means a lock nut 14. The downstream part 13 of the link has a second end, for example of section square, linked to means, not shown in FIG. 2, control and synchronization of blade rotation by means of the ball joint 15 secured to the ring of command 16.

La figure 3 est une vue en perspective des moyens de fixation et d'articulation des pivots des aubes mobiles après montage dans la plate-forme, selon l'invention.Figure 3 is a perspective view of the fixing means and articulation of the pivots of the movable blades after assembly in the platform, according to the invention.

Cette figure montre qu'après montage, (virole extérieure non représentée) les moyens de fixation et d'articulation des pivots des aubes mobiles sont complètement intégrés dans l'alésage aval 10 de la plate forme 4 et occupent un environnement très réduit.This figure shows that after assembly, (outer shell not shown) the means of fixing and articulation of swivel blades pivots are fully integrated in the downstream bore 10 of the platform 4 and occupy a very small environment.

Les pivots 3 des aubes, la douille 11 et l'écrou de serrage 23 étant tous creux, ils permettent l'arrivée de l'air chaud de dégivrage à l'intérieur des aubes mobiles.The pivots 3 of the blades, the bush 11 and the tightening nut 23 being all hollow, they allow the arrival of hot air defrost inside the moving blades.

La fente 20 de la douille 11 et la lumière 21 de la plate-forme 4 permettent la manoeuvrabilité du dispositif de commande d'orientation des aubes à calage variable qui est localisé à l'extérieur du collecteur 5.The slot 20 of the socket 11 and the light 21 of the platform 4 allow the maneuverability of the variable pitch vane orientation control which is located outside the collector 5.
