Definitions
- the field of the present invention relates to hollow blades, in particular blades for gas turbines, and more particularly turbomachine blades, and more particularly blades for a high-pressure turbine.
- a blade comprises in particular a blade extending in a longitudinal direction, a foot and a head opposite to the foot.
- the blade is fixed on the disc of a turbine rotor by means of its foot.
- the head of the blade is located opposite the inner face of the fixed annular casing surrounding the turbine.
- the longitudinal direction of the blade corresponds to the radial direction of the rotor or the turbomachine, and this with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor.
- the blade can be decomposed into blade sections which are stacked in a stacking direction which is radial with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor disk.
- the blade sections thus form an aerodynamic surface which is directly subjected to the gases passing through the turbine.
- This aerodynamic surface extends, from upstream to downstream in the direction of flow of the fluid, between a leading edge and a trailing edge, these edges being interconnected by an intrados face called the intrados and a face extrados called the extrados.
- the turbine provided with such blades is traversed by a gas flow.
- the aerodynamic surface of its blades must be used to transform the maximum kinetic energy from the gas flow into mechanical energy transmitted to the rotor shaft of the turbine rotor.
- the blade of the blade generates kinetic energy losses and should be minimized.
- a significant part of these losses is attributable to the presence of a functional radial clearance between the head of each blade and the inner surface of the casing surrounding the turbine.
- this radial clearance generates a gas leakage flow flowing from the lower surface (higher pressure zone) to the upper surface (lower pressure zone) of the blade.
- This leakage flow represents a non-working gas flow and does not participate not to relax in the turbine.
- he is at the origin of the development of a whirlwind at the head of the dawn (called tourbillon game) which generates significant kinetic energy losses.
- blade with "advanced blade tip” or "shift cuts in mind.”
- the turbine blades and in particular the high pressure turbine blades, are subjected to significant levels of external gas temperature from the combustion chamber. These levels exceed the allowable temperatures of the material of the blade, which leads to having to cool them. With recent engine design temperature levels continuing to rise to improve overall performance, it is becoming necessary to implement innovative high pressure turbine blade cooling systems to ensure an acceptable service life of the engine. these parts.
- the present invention therefore aims to provide a blade structure that allows to maintain a high efficiency of the cooling system at the top of the blade in the case of an advanced blade tip of the type "shift cups head" .
- the present invention relates to a hollow blade according to claim 1 comprising a blade extending in a longitudinal direction, a foot and a head, an internal cooling passage in the blade, a cavity (or bath) located in the head, open towards the free end of the blade and delimited by a bottom wall and a flange, said flange extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge and comprising an extrados rim along of the extrados and a soffit flange along the intrados, and cooling channels connecting said internal cooling passage and the intrados, said cooling ducts being inclined relative to the intrados, the stack of blade sections of the blade at the edge of the head of the blade having an offset in the direction of the intrados, this shift being more and more important in approaching the free end of the head of the dawn.
- This hollow blade is characterized in that the intrados wall of the blade has a protruding portion of which more than half the length extends along a longitudinal portion of the internal cooling passage, and whose outer face is inclined relative to the remainder of the underside of the blade and has at its end facing the cavity an end face, the bottom wall being connected to the intrados wall at the location of said end of said protruding portion and said cooling channels being disposed in said protruding portion so that they open on the end face of said projecting portion, whereby the distance d between the axis of the cooling channels and the outer limit of the end free of the underside flange is greater than or equal to a minimum value d1 non-zero.
- This value d1 thus corresponds to a predetermined threshold value according to the type of blade and the operating conditions of the drilling.
- This solution also has the additional advantage of allowing, in addition, an improvement in the cooling of the portion of the intrados wall carrying the heat pump cooling channels and a better film cooling of the intrados flange of the cavity. (or bathtub).
- the present invention also relates to a turbomachine rotor, a turbomachine turbine and a turbomachine comprising at least one blade as defined in the present text.
- upstream and downstream are defined with respect to the normal flow direction of the gas (from upstream to downstream) through the turbomachine.
- the axis of the turbomachine is called the axis XX 'of radial symmetry of the turbomachine.
- the axial direction corresponds to the direction of the axis of the turbomachine, and a radial direction is a direction perpendicular to this axis and passing by him.
- an axial plane is a plane containing the axis of the turbomachine and a radial plane is a plane perpendicular to this axis and passing through it.
- the transverse (or circumferential) direction is a direction perpendicular to the axis of the turbomachine and not passing through it.
- the axial, radial, and transverse (and axially, radially and transversely) adjectives are used with reference to the aforementioned axial, radial and transverse directions.
- the internal and external adjectives are used with reference to a radial direction so that the part or the internal (ie radially internal) face of an element is closer to the axis of the turbomachine than the part or the outer (ie radially external) face of the same element.
- Cooling air flows inside the blade from the bottom of blade root 12 into blade 13, along the longitudinal direction RR 'of blade 13 (vertical direction) in the figure and radial direction relative to the axis XX 'of rotation of the rotor), towards the head 14 of the blade (at the top on the figure 1 ), then this cooling air escapes through an outlet to join the main gas flow.
- this cooling air circulates in an internal cooling passage located inside the blade and which ends at the head 14 of the blade at the level of through holes 15.
- the body of the blade is profiled so that it defines a lower surface wall 16 (on the left in all the figures) and an extrados wall 18 (on the right in all the figures).
- the intrados wall 16 has a generally concave shape and is the first face of the flow of hot gases, that is to say the gas pressure side, by its outer face, turned upstream, called the lower face. or more simply intrados 16a.
- the extrados wall 18 is convex and is subsequently present in the flow of hot gases, that is to say on the suction side of the gas, along its outer face, turned downstream, called the extrados face or more simply extrados 18a.
- intrados and extrados walls 18 are joined at the location of the leading edge 20 and at the trailing edge location. 22 which extend radially between the head 14 of the blade and the top of the foot 12 of the blade.
- the internal cooling passage 24 is delimited by the inner face 26a of a bottom wall 26 which extends over the entire head 14 of the blade, between the wall d 16 and the extrados wall 18, so from the leading edge 20 to the trailing edge 22.
- the intrados and extrados walls 16, 18 form the rim 28 of an open cavity 30 in the opposite direction to the internal cooling passage 24, radially outwardly (upwards in all the figures). More specifically, the flange 28 is constituted by the intrados flange 281 on the side of the intrados wall 16 and the extrados flange 282 on the side of the extrados wall 18.
- this open cavity 30 is therefore delimited laterally by the internal face of this flange 28 and in the lower part by the outer face 26b of the bottom wall 26.
- the flange 28 thus forms a thin wall along the profile of the blade which protects the free end of the head 14 of the blade 10 from contact with the corresponding inner annular surface of the turbine casing 50 (see FIG. figure 4 ).
- inclined cooling channels 32 pass through the intrados wall 16 to connect the internal cooling passage 24 to the outer face of the intrados wall 16 , namely the intrados 16a.
- These cooling channels 32 are inclined so that they open towards the top 28a of the rim so as to cool it, by means of an air jet which is directed towards the top 28a of the rim 28 along the intrados wall 16.
- cooling channels 32 (generally made in EDM drilling for "Electron Discharge Machining” or EDM) requires having an ⁇ -sufficient angle between the axis of the cooling channels 32 and the outer face 281a of the underside 281 to provide a clearance sufficient to allow the passage of the EDM nozzle.
- the dawn 10 ' which comprises a "shift of cuts in the head” bears the same reference signs as those of the dawn of Figures 1 to 4 , with a bonus ("'") for the modified parts.
- the differences relate solely to the shape of the flange 28 'which is no longer parallel to the longitudinal direction RR' or radial direction of the blade 10 '.
- Blade sections S are considered to correspond to the contour of the section of the blade in a plane of section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction RR 'or radial direction of the blade. For dawn 10, all blade sections S are stacked in one direction stacking parallel to the longitudinal direction RR 'or radial direction of the blade, being superimposed between them (see figure 4 ).
- the blade sections S of the blade portion comprising the internal cooling passage 24 and the bottom wall 26 are also stacked in the radial direction of the blade; however, the blade sections S1, S2, S3 and S4 of the flange 28 '(head sections) are stacked with an offset of their stack towards the lower surface 16a, which is progressive and increases as the process progresses. that the section is close to the vertex 28a '(in the order S1, S2, S3 and S4 on the figure 5 ).
- end A of the intrados flange 281' is referred to.
- the rim 28 'illustrated further comprises an enlargement 283' of the intrados flange 281 'at the location of the outer limit A of the free end of said intrados flange 281', namely at the location from the intrados border of the summit 28a '.
- This widening 283 ' is present on a number of stacked sections (S3 and S4) on the figure 5 and forms, in section, a shape of end tip A and which is crossed by the axis of the cooling channel 32.
- This form of tip which may appear during the machining of the blade 10 must be considered as non-imperative and optional.

Description
Le domaine de la présente invention concerne les aubes creuses, notamment des aubes de turbines à gaz, et plus particulièrement des aubes mobiles de turbomachine, et tout particulièrement des aubes mobiles pour une turbine haute pression.The field of the present invention relates to hollow blades, in particular blades for gas turbines, and more particularly turbomachine blades, and more particularly blades for a high-pressure turbine.
De façon connue en soi, une aube comporte notamment une pale s'étendant selon une direction longitudinale, un pied et une tête opposée au pied. Dans le cas d'une aube mobile de turbine, l'aube est fixée sur le disque d'un rotor de turbine par l'intermédiaire de son pied. La tête de l'aube est située en regard de la face interne du carter annulaire fixe entourant la turbine. La direction longitudinale de la pale correspond à la direction radiale du rotor ou de la turbomachine, et ce par rapport à l'axe de rotation du rotor.In a manner known per se, a blade comprises in particular a blade extending in a longitudinal direction, a foot and a head opposite to the foot. In the case of a turbine blade, the blade is fixed on the disc of a turbine rotor by means of its foot. The head of the blade is located opposite the inner face of the fixed annular casing surrounding the turbine. The longitudinal direction of the blade corresponds to the radial direction of the rotor or the turbomachine, and this with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor.
La pale peut être décomposée en section de pales qui sont empilées selon une direction d'empilement qui est radiale par rapport à l'axe de rotation du disque de rotor. Les sections d'aubes forment ainsi une surface aérodynamique qui est directement soumise aux gaz traversant la turbine. Cette surface aérodynamique s'étend, d'amont en aval selon le sens d'écoulement du fluide, entre un bord d'attaque et un bord de fuite, ces bords étant reliés entre eux par une face intrados appelée l'intrados et une face extrados appelée l'extrados.The blade can be decomposed into blade sections which are stacked in a stacking direction which is radial with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor disk. The blade sections thus form an aerodynamic surface which is directly subjected to the gases passing through the turbine. This aerodynamic surface extends, from upstream to downstream in the direction of flow of the fluid, between a leading edge and a trailing edge, these edges being interconnected by an intrados face called the intrados and a face extrados called the extrados.
La turbine munie de telles aubes mobiles est traversée par un écoulement gazeux. La surface aérodynamique de ses aubes doit être utilisée pour transformer le maximum d'énergie cinétique provenant l'écoulement gazeux en énergie mécanique transmise à l'arbre de rotation du rotor de la turbine.The turbine provided with such blades is traversed by a gas flow. The aerodynamic surface of its blades must be used to transform the maximum kinetic energy from the gas flow into mechanical energy transmitted to the rotor shaft of the turbine rotor.
Or, comme tout obstacle présent à l'écoulement des gaz, la pale de l'aube génère des pertes d'énergie cinétique et qu'il convient de minimiser. En particulier, il est connu qu'une part non négligeable de ces pertes (entre 20 % et 30 % des pertes globales) est imputable à la présence d'un jeu radial fonctionnel entre la tête de chaque aube et la surface interne du carter entourant la turbine. En effet, ce jeu radial génère un débit gazeux de fuite s'écoulant de l'intrados (zone à pression plus élevée) vers l'extrados (zone à pression plus faible) de l'aube. Ce débit de fuite représente un débit gazeux non travaillant et ne participe pas à la détente dans la turbine. En outre, il est à l'origine du développement d'un tourbillon en tête de l'aube (appelé tourbillon de jeu) qui génère des pertes d'énergie cinétique importante.However, like any obstacle present in the gas flow, the blade of the blade generates kinetic energy losses and should be minimized. In particular, it is known that a significant part of these losses (between 20% and 30% of the overall losses) is attributable to the presence of a functional radial clearance between the head of each blade and the inner surface of the casing surrounding the turbine. Indeed, this radial clearance generates a gas leakage flow flowing from the lower surface (higher pressure zone) to the upper surface (lower pressure zone) of the blade. This leakage flow represents a non-working gas flow and does not participate not to relax in the turbine. In addition, he is at the origin of the development of a whirlwind at the head of the dawn (called tourbillon game) which generates significant kinetic energy losses.
Pour résoudre ce problème, il est connu de modifier l'empilement des sections de l'aube au niveau de la tête de l'aube, afin de réaliser un décalage de leur empilement en direction de la face intrados, ce décalage étant de préférence progressif et allant en s'accentuant au fur et à mesure que la section est proche de l'extrémité libre de la tête.To solve this problem, it is known to modify the stacking of sections of the blade at the head of the blade, in order to offset their stack in the direction of the intrados face, this offset preferably being progressive and becoming more pronounced as the section is near the free end of the head.
Ce type d'aubes est appelé aubes avec « sommet d'aube avancé » ou encore « décalage des coupes en tête ».This type of blade is called blade with "advanced blade tip" or "shift cuts in mind."
Par ailleurs, les aubes de turbine, et en particulier les aubes mobiles de turbine haute pression, sont soumises à des niveaux importants de température de gaz externes issus de la chambre de combustion. Ces niveaux dépassent les températures admissibles du matériau de l'aube, ce qui conduit à devoir les refroidir. Les niveaux de température des moteurs récents en conception étant toujours en hausse afin d'améliorer la performance d'ensemble, il devient nécessaire de mettre en place des systèmes innovants de refroidissement des aubes de turbine haute pression afin de garantir une durée de vie acceptable de ces pièces.Moreover, the turbine blades, and in particular the high pressure turbine blades, are subjected to significant levels of external gas temperature from the combustion chamber. These levels exceed the allowable temperatures of the material of the blade, which leads to having to cool them. With recent engine design temperature levels continuing to rise to improve overall performance, it is becoming necessary to implement innovative high pressure turbine blade cooling systems to ensure an acceptable service life of the engine. these parts.
L'endroit le plus chaud d'une aube mobile étant sa tête, les systèmes de refroidissement visent en premier lieu à refroidir le sommet de l'aube.The hottest place of a moving blade being its head, the cooling systems aim first of all to cool the top of the dawn.
De nombreuses techniques différentes de refroidissement de la tête de l'aube ont déjà été proposées, on peut citer notamment celles décrites dans
En conséquence, on comprend que la géométrie particulière engendrée par la technique de « décalage de coupes en tête » vient perturber la mise en oeuvre et l'efficacité des systèmes classiques de refroidissement dans la zone de la tête de l'aube.As a result, it is understood that the particular geometry generated by the technique of "cutting head cuts" disrupts the implementation and efficiency of conventional cooling systems in the area of the head of the blade.
Or, le sommet d'aube étant systématiquement l'endroit le plus chaud d'une aube mobile, la coexistence de la technique de « décalage de coupes en tête » et d'un système de refroidissement qui reste efficace devient primordiale pour permettre de conserver une durée de vie suffisante de la pièce dans cette zone en cas de conditions thermiques amont élevées.However, as the blade tip is always the hottest spot of a moving blade, the coexistence of the technique of "offsetting cuts in the head" and a cooling system that remains effective becomes essential to allow to conserve a sufficient service life of the part in this zone in case of high upstream thermal conditions.
Il s'avère que ces solutions ne sont pas compatibles avec la technique de « décalage de coupes en tête ».It turns out that these solutions are not compatible with the technique of "offsetting cuts in the head".
La présente invention a donc pour objectif de proposer une structure d'aube qui permette de conserver une efficacité élevée du système de refroidissement en sommet d'aube dans le cas d'un sommet d'aube avancé du type « décalage des coupes en tête ».The present invention therefore aims to provide a blade structure that allows to maintain a high efficiency of the cooling system at the top of the blade in the case of an advanced blade tip of the type "shift cups head" .
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne une aube creuse selon la revendication 1 comportant une pale s'étendant selon une direction longitudinale, un pied et une tête, un passage de refroidissement interne dans la pale, une cavité (ou baignoire) située dans la tête, ouverte en direction de l'extrémité libre de l'aube et délimitée par une paroi de fond et un rebord, ledit rebord s'étendant entre le bord d'attaque et le bord de fuite et comprenant un rebord d'extrados le long de l'extrados et un rebord d'intrados le long de l'intrados, et des canaux de refroidissement reliant ledit passage de refroidissement interne et l'intrados, lesdits canaux de refroidissement étant inclinés par rapport à l'intrados, l'empilement des sections de pale de l'aube au niveau du rebord de la tête de l'aube présentant un décalage en direction de l'intrados, ce décalage étant de plus en plus important en se rapprochant de l'extrémité libre de la tête de l'aube.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a hollow blade according to claim 1 comprising a blade extending in a longitudinal direction, a foot and a head, an internal cooling passage in the blade, a cavity (or bath) located in the head, open towards the free end of the blade and delimited by a bottom wall and a flange, said flange extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge and comprising an extrados rim along of the extrados and a soffit flange along the intrados, and cooling channels connecting said internal cooling passage and the intrados, said cooling ducts being inclined relative to the intrados, the stack of blade sections of the blade at the edge of the head of the blade having an offset in the direction of the intrados, this shift being more and more important in approaching the free end of the head of the dawn.
Cette aube creuse est caractérisée en ce que la paroi d'intrados de la pale présente une portion en saillie dont plus de la moitié de la longueur s'étend le long d'une portion longitudinale du passage de refroidissement interne, et dont la face extérieure est inclinée par rapport au reste de l'intrados de la pale et présente à son extrémité tournée vers la cavité une face terminale, la paroi de fond étant reliée à la paroi d'intrados à l'emplacement de ladite extrémité de ladite portion en saillie et lesdits canaux de refroidissement étant disposés dans ladite portion en saillie de sorte qu'ils débouchent sur la face terminale de ladite portion en saillie, ce par quoi la distance d entre l'axe des canaux de refroidissement et la limite extérieure de l'extrémité libre du rebord d'intrados est supérieure ou égale à une valeur minimale d1 non nulle. Cette valeur d1 correspond ainsi à une valeur seuil prédéterminée selon le type d'aube et les conditions opératoires du perçage.This hollow blade is characterized in that the intrados wall of the blade has a protruding portion of which more than half the length extends along a longitudinal portion of the internal cooling passage, and whose outer face is inclined relative to the remainder of the underside of the blade and has at its end facing the cavity an end face, the bottom wall being connected to the intrados wall at the location of said end of said protruding portion and said cooling channels being disposed in said protruding portion so that they open on the end face of said projecting portion, whereby the distance d between the axis of the cooling channels and the outer limit of the end free of the underside flange is greater than or equal to a minimum value d1 non-zero. This value d1 thus corresponds to a predetermined threshold value according to the type of blade and the operating conditions of the drilling.
Globalement, grâce à la solution selon la présente invention, on crée un décalage vers l'intrados de la position de la portion de la paroi d'intrados portant les canaux de refroidissement et ce afin de permettre aux outils de perçage d'accéder à l'emplacement adéquat, tout en ne dégradant pas, voire en améliorant les performances de refroidissement.Overall, thanks to the solution according to the present invention, a shift towards the underside of the position of the portion of the wall is created. lower surfaces carrying the cooling channels in order to allow the drilling tools to access the appropriate location, while not degrading or even improving the cooling performance.
Cette solution présente aussi l'avantage supplémentaire, de permettre, en outre, une amélioration du refroidissement de la portion de la paroi d'intrados portant les canaux de refroidissement par pompage thermique et un meilleur refroidissement par film du rebord d'intrados de la cavité (ou baignoire).This solution also has the additional advantage of allowing, in addition, an improvement in the cooling of the portion of the intrados wall carrying the heat pump cooling channels and a better film cooling of the intrados flange of the cavity. (or bathtub).
La présente invention porte également sur un rotor de turbomachine, une turbine de turbomachine et une turbomachine comprenant au moins une aube telle que définie dans le présent texte.The present invention also relates to a turbomachine rotor, a turbomachine turbine and a turbomachine comprising at least one blade as defined in the present text.

Dans la présente demande, sauf précision contraire, l'amont et l'aval sont définis par rapport au sens d'écoulement normal du gaz (de l'amont vers l'aval) à travers la turbomachine. Par ailleurs, on appelle axe de la turbomachine, l'axe X-X' de symétrie radiale de la turbomachine. La direction axiale correspond à la direction de l'axe de la turbomachine, et une direction radiale est une direction perpendiculaire à cet axe et passant par lui. De même, un plan axial est un plan contenant l'axe de la turbomachine et un plan radial est un plan perpendiculaire à cet axe et passant par lui. La direction transversale (ou circonférentielle) est une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe de la turbomachine et ne passant pas par lui. Sauf précision contraire, les adjectifs (et adverbes) axial, radial, et transversal (axialement, radialement et transversalement) sont utilisés en référence aux directions axiale, radiale et transversale précitées. Enfin, sauf précision contraire, les adjectifs interne et externe sont utilisés en référence à une direction radiale de sorte que la partie ou la face interne (i.e. radialement interne) d'un élément est plus proche de l'axe de la turbomachine que la partie ou la face externe (i.e. radialement externe) du même élément.In the present application, unless otherwise specified, upstream and downstream are defined with respect to the normal flow direction of the gas (from upstream to downstream) through the turbomachine. Furthermore, the axis of the turbomachine is called the axis XX 'of radial symmetry of the turbomachine. The axial direction corresponds to the direction of the axis of the turbomachine, and a radial direction is a direction perpendicular to this axis and passing by him. Similarly, an axial plane is a plane containing the axis of the turbomachine and a radial plane is a plane perpendicular to this axis and passing through it. The transverse (or circumferential) direction is a direction perpendicular to the axis of the turbomachine and not passing through it. Unless otherwise specified, the axial, radial, and transverse (and axially, radially and transversely) adjectives (and adverbs) are used with reference to the aforementioned axial, radial and transverse directions. Finally, unless otherwise stated, the internal and external adjectives are used with reference to a radial direction so that the part or the internal (ie radially internal) face of an element is closer to the axis of the turbomachine than the part or the outer (ie radially external) face of the same element.

En particulier, cet air de refroidissement circule dans un passage de refroidissement interne situé à l'intérieur de l'aube et qui aboutit à la tête 14 de l'aube au niveau de perçages débouchants 15.In particular, this cooling air circulates in an internal cooling passage located inside the blade and which ends at the
Le corps de l'aube est profilé de sorte qu'il définit une paroi d'intrados 16 (à gauche sur toutes les figures) et une paroi d'extrados 18 (à droite sur toutes les figures).The body of the blade is profiled so that it defines a lower surface wall 16 (on the left in all the figures) and an extrados wall 18 (on the right in all the figures).
La paroi d'intrados 16 présente une forme générale concave et se présente la première face au flux de gaz chauds, c'est-à-dire du côté pression des gaz, par sa face extérieure, tournée en amont, appelée face d'intrados ou plus simplement intrados 16a.The
La paroi d'extrados 18 est convexe et se présente par la suite au flux de gaz chauds, c'est-à-dire du côté aspiration des gaz, le long de sa face extérieure, tournée en aval, appelée face d'extrados ou plus simplement extrados 18a.The
Les parois d'intrados 16 et d'extrados 18 se rejoignent à l'emplacement du bord d'attaque 20 et à l'emplacement du bord de fuite 22 qui s'étendent radialement entre la tête 14 de l'aube et le haut du pied 12 de l'aube.The intrados and
Comme il ressort des vues agrandies des
Au niveau de la tête 14 de l'aube, les parois d'intrados et d'extrados 16, 18 forment le rebord 28 d'une cavité ouverte 30 dans la direction opposée au passage de refroidissement interne 24, soit radialement vers l'extérieur (vers le haut sur toutes les figures). Plus précisément, le rebord 28 est constitué du rebord d'intrados 281 du côté de la paroi d'intrados 16 et du rebord d'extrados 282 du côté de la paroi d'extrados 18.At the
Comme il apparaît sur les figures, cette cavité ouverte 30 est donc délimité latéralement par la face interne de ce rebord 28 et en partie basse par la face extérieure 26b de la paroi de fond 26.As it appears in the figures, this
Le rebord 28 forme donc une paroi mince le long du profil de l'aube qui protège l'extrémité libre de la tête 14 de l'aube 10 du contact avec la surface annulaire interne correspondante du carter de turbine 50 (voir la
Comme on peut le voir plus précisément sur la vue en coupe de la
Ces canaux de refroidissement 32 sont inclinés de façon à ce qu'ils débouchent en direction du sommet 28a du rebord afin de le refroidir, au moyen d'un jet d'air qui se dirige vers le sommet 28a du rebord 28 le long de la paroi d'intrados 16.These cooling
L'efficacité du refroidissement résultant de ces canaux de refroidissement 32 est principalement reliée à deux paramètres géométriques de ces canaux de refroidissement 32 (voir
- l'étendue radiale totale D des canaux de refroidissement 32, comprise entre les deux rayons R1 et R2 (respectivement la hauteur de l'ouverture d'entrée 32b et de l'ouverture de sortie 32a des canaux de refroidissement 32 sur l'intrados 16) : plus cette étendue radiale D est importante, plus le phénomène de refroidissement par pompage thermique concernera une partie importante de l'aube le long de l'axe R-R', et
- la hauteur de l'ouverture de sortie 32a des canaux de refroidissement 32 sur l'intrados 16 sous la forme du rayon R2 dit « rayon de débouchage »: plus ce rayon R2 est élevé, plus le film d'air de refroidissement externe est efficace jusqu'au sommet de la baignoire, à savoir le sommet 28a du rebord d'intrados 281.
- the total radial extent D of the
cooling channels 32, lying between the two radii R1 and R2 (respectively the height theinlet opening 32b and the outlet opening 32a of thecooling channels 32 on the lower surface 16): the greater the radial extent D, the greater the thermal pumping cooling phenomenon will concern a significant part of the dawn along the axis R-R ', and - the height of the outlet opening 32a of the
cooling ducts 32 on thelower surface 16 in the form of the radius R2 called "unclogging radius": the greater the radius R2, the more efficient the external cooling air film is to the top of the bath, namely the top 28a of theunderside 281.
Enfin, la faisabilité industrielle de la réalisation des canaux de refroidissement 32 (généralement réalisés en perçage EDM pour « Electron Discharge Machining » ou électroérosion) impose d'avoir un angle α-suffisant entre l'axe des canaux de refroidissement 32 et la face extérieure 281a du rebord d'intrados 281 afin de pourvoir disposer d'un dégagement suffisant pour permettre le passage de la buse EDM.Finally, the industrial feasibility of producing the cooling channels 32 (generally made in EDM drilling for "Electron Discharge Machining" or EDM) requires having an α-sufficient angle between the axis of the

On considère les sections S de pale comme correspondant au contour de la coupe de la pale selon un plan de coupe orthogonal à la direction longitudinale R-R' ou direction radiale de l'aube. Pour l'aube 10, toutes les sections de pale S sont empilées selon une direction d'empilement parallèle à la direction longitudinale R-R' ou direction radiale de l'aube, en étant superposées entre elles (voir

On appelle A la limite extérieure de l'extrémité libre du rebord d'intrados 281', ci-après désignée par extrémité A du rebord d'intrados 281'.At the outer boundary of the free end of the intrados flange 281 ', hereinafter referred to as end A of the intrados flange 281', is referred to.
Par ailleurs, le rebord 28' illustré comporte en outre un élargissement 283' du rebord d'intrados 281' à l'emplacement de la limite extérieure A de l'extrémité libre dudit rebord d'intrados 281', à savoir à l'emplacement de la bordure intrados du sommet 28a'.Furthermore, the rim 28 'illustrated further comprises an enlargement 283' of the intrados flange 281 'at the location of the outer limit A of the free end of said intrados flange 281', namely at the location from the intrados border of the

Pour pallier à ce problème et rendre compatibles entre eux un décalage des coupes en tête et un perçage sous-baignoire, il est naturel de modifier la géométrie de ce dernier et donc de dégrader l'efficacité thermique de celui-ci) :
- une première solution visible sur la
figure 6 , avec les canaux de refroidissement 32' qui peuvent être percés aisément, consiste à diminuer la hauteur de débouchage R2 à la valeur R2' sans modifier l'étendue radiale totale D (la hauteur R1 de l'entrée des canaux de refroidissement est abaissée à la valeur R1'): dans ce cas, en diminuant le rayon R2 et en abaissant la position de la sortie des canaux de refroidissement, on ne permet plus un refroidissement satisfaisant de la tête de l'aube formée du rebord 28', - une deuxième solution visible sur la
figure 7 , avec les canaux de refroidissement 32" qui peuvent être percés aisément, consiste à réduire l'étendue radiale totale D à la valeur D" sans modifier la hauteur de débouchage R2 : dans ce cas, en augmentant le rayon R1 à la valeur R1", on permet un refroidissement satisfaisant de la tête de l'aube formée du rebord 28' mais le phénomène de refroidissement thermique par pompage est insuffisant car il est effectif seulement sur une faible partie de l'aube le long de l'axe R-R'.
- a first visible solution on the
figure 6 , with the cooling channels 32 'which can be drilled easily, is to reduce the unclogging height R2 to the value R2' without changing the total radial extent D (the height R1 of the inlet of the cooling channels is lowered to the value R1 '): in this case, by decreasing the radius R2 and lowering the position of the outlet of the cooling channels, no satisfactory cooling of the head of the blade formed by the flange 28' is allowed, - a second visible solution on the
figure 7 , with the coolingchannels 32 "which can be drilled easily, consists in reducing the total radial extent D to the value D" without modifying the unclogging height R2: in this case, by increasing the radius R1 to the value R1 " satisfactory cooling of the head of the vane formed of the rim 28 'is allowed, but the phenomenon of thermal cooling by pumping is insufficient because it is effective only on a small part of the vane along the axis R-R .
Pour pallier à ces inconvénients, la présente invention propose la solution présentée sur les
L'aube 110 comporte un rebord 28' équipé d'un un « décalage des coupes en tête » tel que décrit précédemment en relation avec la
La paroi d'intrados 16 est modifiée dans sa portion intermédiaire, qui est adjacente au rebord d'intrados 281', par le fait que cette portion intermédiaire forme une protrusion en direction de l'intrados 16a.The
Plus précisément, la portion intermédiaire est une portion en saillie 161 par le fait que dans cette portion en saillie, l'intrados 16a n'est pas dirigée selon la direction longitudinale R-R' ou direction radiale, mais est inclinée en s'écartant encore davantage de l'extrados 18a au fur et à mesure que l'on se rapproche du rebord 28' selon la direction longitudinale R-R'.More specifically, the intermediate portion is a protruding
Plus de la moitié de la longueur de cette portion en saillie 161 s'étend le long d'une portion longitudinale du passage de refroidissement interne 24 (en l'espèce la portion la plus radialement externe dans la géométrie de la turbomachine).More than half the length of this protruding
Par ce décalage de la paroi d'intrados 16 à l'endroit du perçage, on peut conserver les rayons R2 et R1 de la
Cette portion en saillie 161 s'étend sur toute la hauteur des canaux de refroidissement 132, entre les rayons R2 et R1 (avec R2>R1) et se matérialise sur l'intrados 16a par une face extérieure ou face intrados 161a, une face terminale 161b tournée en direction du rebord 28', et une face interne 161c tournée vers le passage de refroidissement interne 24.This protruding
La face intrados 161a de la portion en saillie 161 est inclinée en s'écartant de la direction longitudinale R-R' au fur et à mesure que l'on se rapproche de la face terminale 161b. De préférence, l'angle d'inclinaison β formé entre la face intrados 161a de la portion en saillie 161 et la direction longitudinale R-R' ou direction radiale est entre 10° et 60°, de préférence entre 20° et 50°, et avantageusement entre 25° et 35°, à savoir proche de 30°.The
Par ailleurs, l'angle α d'inclinaison des canaux de refroidissement 132 par rapport à la direction longitudinale R-R' ou direction radiale est entre 10° et 60°, de préférence entre 20° et 50°, et avantageusement entre 25° et 35°, à savoir proche de 30°.Moreover, the angle α of inclination of the cooling
Avec cette configuration, on dispose d'une distance minimale d1 non nulle lorsque l'on mesure l'écart d entre la parallèle à la direction longitudinale R-R' passant par l'extrémité A du rebord d'intrados 281' et l'extrémité B ou bord extérieur de la portion en saillie 161 située entre la face intrados 161a et la face terminale 161b. En d'autres termes, l'extrémité B est en retrait par rapport à l'extrémité A.With this configuration, there is a minimum distance d1 that is non-zero when the distance d between the parallel to the longitudinal direction RR 'passing through the end A of the intrados flange 281' and the end B is measured. or outer edge of the protruding
De préférence, ladite valeur minimale d1 est supérieure ou égale à 1 mm, voire à 2 mm et dépend du matériel utilisé pour réaliser le perçage des canaux de refroidissement 132.Preferably, said minimum value d1 is greater than or equal to 1 mm or even 2 mm and depends on the equipment used to drill the cooling
De façon caractéristique, lesdits canaux de refroidissement 132 sont disposés dans ladite portion en saillie 161 de sorte qu'ils débouchent sur la face terminale 161b de ladite portion en saillie 161.Typically, said cooling
De cette façon, on obtient un flux d'air de refroidissement F1 (voir
Cette géométrie engendre un flux F2 dans une zone de recirculation (zone de coin) qui permet un mélange efficace entre le flux de gaz de refroidissement F1 et les gaz externes chauds quelle que soit la position de l'ouverture de sortie des canaux de refroidissement 132 sur la face terminale 161b de ladite portion en saillie 161.This geometry generates a flow F2 in a recirculation zone (wedge zone) which allows an efficient mixing between the flow of cooling gas F1 and the hot external gases regardless of the position of the outlet opening of the cooling
Ainsi, l'utilisation d'une portion en saillie 161 selon l'invention permet d'améliorer encore davantage l'efficacité du refroidissement engendré par l'air issu des canaux de refroidissement 132.Thus, the use of a projecting
Selon une disposition géométrique préférentielle visible sur les
Afin de ne pas alourdir la structure, l'épaisseur e de la paroi d'intrados 16 de la pale de l'aube 110 est sensiblement constante entre la portion en saillie 161 et le reste de la paroi d'intrados 16, et est également sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur de la paroi de la zone 161d de la portion en saillie 161 (voir la
On note que les épaisseurs de paroi sont, considérées en prenant la direction orthogonale à la face extérieure de la zone à considérer.It is noted that the wall thicknesses are considered taking the direction orthogonal to the outer face of the area to be considered.
Cette caractéristique est illustrée sur la
Pour ne pas pénaliser la robustesse mécanique du pied 12 de l'aube, il faut éviter d'épaissir la paroi d'intrados 16 à l'emplacement de la portion en saillie 161. A cet effet, on creuse la face arrière de la paroi d'extrados à l'emplacement de la portion en saillie 161. Concrètement, la zone à retirer derrière la portion en saillie 161 par rapport au profil classique de la paroi d'intrados 16, visible par les lignes P1 et P2 sur la
Avantageusement, cette conception selon l'invention avec la portion en saillie 161 qui n'engendre pas de surépaisseur peut être obtenue avec un minimum de modification des outillages préexistants : en fonderie, on creuse la boite à noyau déjà existante d'un volume équivalent de la surface extrudée C (sur toute la largeur de l'intrados) afin de produire des noyaux ayant le profil interne de cavité adéquat pour l'obtention de la portion en saillie 161, et on creuse ce volume sur le moule de cire formant l'enveloppe extérieure de l'aube.Advantageously, this design according to the invention with the protruding
Dans cette configuration, la face extérieure 161a et la face intérieure 161c de la portion en saillie 161 sont parallèles entre elles.In this configuration, the
De préférence, la face terminale 161b de la portion en saillie 161 est plane.Preferably, the
Sur les
Dans le cas illustré, toute la face terminale 161b de la portion en saillie 161 est dirigée de façon orthogonale à la direction longitudinale R-R' de l'aube.In the illustrated case, the
Selon une première variante visible sur la
De cette façon, l'axe des canaux de refroidissement 132 est orthogonal à la face terminale 161b de la portion en saillie 161, à l'emplacement où les canaux de refroidissement 132 débouchent dans ladite face terminale 161b. L'avantage de cette variante est que la forme de l'ouverture de sortie des canaux de refroidissement 132 sur la face terminale 161b est ronde contre une forme plus ovale lorsque la face terminale 161b est horizontale, ce qui permet de mieux contrôler la section de sortie des canaux de refroidissement 132 et donc le débit d'air de refroidissement.In this way, the axis of the cooling
