- the turbojet 2 comprises a first level of compression, called low-pressure compressor 4, a second level of compression, called high-pressure compressor 6, a combustion chamber 8 and one or more levels of turbines 10.
- the mechanical power of the turbine 10 transmitted via the central shaft to the rotor 12 sets in motion the two compressors 4 and 6.
- the latter comprise several rows of rotor blades associated with rows of stator blades.
- the rotation of the rotor around its axis of rotation 14 thus makes it possible to generate an air flow and to gradually compress the latter up to the entrance of the combustion chamber 8.
- An inlet fan commonly referred to as a fan, or blower, 16 is coupled to the rotor 12 and generates an air flow which is divided into a primary flow 18 passing through the various aforementioned levels of the turbomachine, and a secondary flow 19 passing through a annular duct (partially shown) by generating a thrust useful for propelling an airplane.
- the figure 2 is a sectional view of a compressor portion of an axial turbomachine such as that of the figure 1 .
- the compressor can be a low-pressure compressor 4.
- the compressor comprises a stator 20 with a one-piece outer shell 22 which can form the outer casing of the compressor.
- the outer shell 22 is in one piece. It describes a closed loop. It has a circular material continuity and / or a circular homogeneity. It can be in one piece over its entire length. It can include a portion coming from the material.
- the rotor 12 may comprise several rows of rotor blades 24, for example two or three or more rotor rows (only one visible). Despite the rotation of the rotor 12, the inclination in space of the chords of the rotor blades 24 remains invariable with respect to the axis of rotation 14.
- the rotor blades 24 can form a single-piece disc; that is to say, they are inseparable from their support rim 25. Such an arrangement is also known under the term “blisk”.
- the compressor 4 comprises several rectifiers, for example at least two, or at least three or at least four rectifiers.
- Each rectifier comprises an annular row of stator vanes 26. These vanes are statoric in the sense that they are mounted on the stator 20 and therefore remain in contact with the latter.
- the rectifiers are associated with the fan or with a row of rotor blades 24 to straighten their air flows, so as to convert the speed of the flow into static pressure.
- the stator vanes 26 comprise stator vanes with piloted orientation 26. These orientable vanes 26 extend radially towards the inside of the outer shell 22 and describe an annular row. These orientable vanes 26 are also called variable-pitch vanes, or according to the acronym “VSV” for “Variable Stator Vane”. Their particularity is that they can pivot on themselves, so that the inclination of their cords can vary with respect to the axis of rotation 14 of the compressor 4, and this during its operation.
- the orientable vanes 26 can pivot relative to the flow 18, so that they more or less cover the fluid stream by virtue of their blades. They can intercept more the primary flow 18.
- the circumferential width which they occupy can vary. Their leading edge and their trailing edge can approach or move away from the blades of the same row. By being more or less inclined with respect to the general direction of flow, they more or less deflect the primary flow 18 to modulate the rectification of flow that they provide.
- the stator vanes can comprise other annular rows of vanes 28; these other blades possibly being fixed orientation or piloted orientation.
- the stator 20 of the compressor 4 comprises an internal ferrule 30 suspended from the internal ends of the orientable vanes 26, but while retaining the pivoting nature of the orientable vanes 26.
- the internal ferrule 30 is equipped with rotating bearings 32 which are mounted around internal journals 34 of the orientable vanes 26.
- Radially opposite, the orientable vanes 26 have external journals 36 engaged in orifices 38, possibly formed through bosses 40.
- the journals (34; 36) can form cylindrical rods, and can be integral with their blade.
- the steerable vane control system is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be detailed further.
- the stator 20 comprises an intermediate casing 42, forming part of the supporting structure of the turbomachine.
- This intermediate casing 42 can receive a separating spout (not shown).
- the intermediate casing 42 may comprise an outer portion 44, casing arms 46 forming supports passing through the primary flow 18, and an inner hub 48 which may join the inner ferrule 30.
- the outer shell 22 may include an annular wall 50 and an upstream flange 52 fixed to the outer portion 44 of the intermediate casing 42.
- the wall 50 may be integral. It can extend axially along the orientable vanes 26 and possibly the other vanes.
- the internal surface 56 of the external ferrule 22 has an internal diameter which decreases downstream and which matches the external ends of the rotor blades 24. This configuration therefore requires placing the rotor blades 24 in the outer shell 22 before mounting the orientable vanes 26 and their inner shell 30. The opposite would not be physically possible because of the one-piece nature of the outer shell 22.
- the inner shell 30 is split. It is divided axially into an upstream part 60 and into a downstream part 62. These parts can each form a closed loop. At least one or each part (60; 62) is in one piece, that is to say that it (s) present (s) a continuity of circular material. Alternatively, one of them is segmented angularly. However, a one-piece configuration improves the rigidity and the retention of the internal ferrule 30 via the internal journals 34, which form pivot connections; that is to say a mechanical connection with only one degree of freedom.
- the figure 3 sketch a plan view of the inner ferrule 30 of the figure 2 , the levels not being shown for the sake of clarity.
- the axis of rotation 14 is drawn.
- the upstream part 60 and the downstream part 62 are shown from the outside.
- the upstream part 60 has an annular row of pockets 64, four of them being shown.
- the pockets 64 each have a closed bottom 66 allowing a seal against the downstream part 62. They can end against the axial separation interface 68 of the axial parts (60; 62).
- the axial separation interface 68 may be a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation 14, or be substantially conical.
- the pockets 66 have the shapes of the upturned letter “U”, the bearings being of a shape complementary to that of these pockets 64. These pockets 64 are separated by watertight partitions 69.
- the figure 4 illustrates the bearing 32 in an isometric view, the bearing possibly corresponding to the bearing shown in relation to the figures 2 and 3 .
- the bearing 32 is in one piece. It has a semi-cylindrical upstream portion, and a rectangular downstream portion provided with lateral faces 70 for axial guidance. These faces 70 can be parallel.
- An orifice 72 intended to receive the internal journal of the orientable vane is at the interface of the portions.
- a flat disk-shaped surface 74 surrounds the orifice 72.
- the bearing has a radial allowance 76, which is in elevation with respect to the planar surface 74. The allowance 76 may join an axial end of the bearing, for example. its flat downstream facet 78 which allows a locking in rotation against the downstream part of the shell.
- the figure 5 corresponds to an enlargement of an area delimited by figure 2 .
- the section of the internal ferrule 30 at the level of an orientable vane 26 and of its bearing 32 coincides with the pivot axis 80 of the internal journal 34.
- the pivot axis 80 is distant from the axial interface 68 between the parts (60; 62). This makes it possible to better maintain the bearing 32 in one of the parts; in this case in the upstream part 60.
- the distant aspect can be measured in the material of the ferrule 30.
- the extra thickness 76 is flush with the outside of the shell 30.
- the extra thickness 76 may partially form the outer surface 82 of the inner shell 30; outer surface 82 which makes it possible to delimit and guide the primary flow 18 in the turbomachine.
- This extra thickness 76 makes it possible to fill a space in the shell 30 while accommodating its compactness.
- the profile of the inner shell may have a length greater than or equal to twice its radial thickness.
- the extra thickness 76 can form a separation between the downstream part 62 and the platen disc 84 of the orientable vane 26. In particular, it can slide against the cylindrical contour of the disc 84.
- the rotor 12 cooperates in a sealed manner with the downstream part 62, possibly at the level of an abradable seal 86.
- the bearing 32 does not overlap the annular seal 86 since the interface 68 separates them.
- the figure 6 is a diagram of an assembly process for a turbomachine.
- the entities of the turbomachine may correspond to those described in relation to the figures 1 to 5 .
- the first part in place is in contact with the rotor, for example around and / or in contact with a seal of the rotor.
- This joint can be a game of wicks.
- the seal can center the downstream part with respect to the rotor.
- the other part can be free of joint.
- step (d) engagement 106 the bearing slides radially against the first part, in particular against the downstream part, and is fitted around the internal journal of the orientable vane.
- step (e) assembly 108 the upstream part is translated axially while being guided by the guide faces. Since the bearings can rotate relative to the journals, they rotate so as to be centered in their pocket, which simplifies the approach of the upstream part.

L'invention se rapporte au domaine des aubes orientables de turbomachine axiale. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne la liaison pivot entre une virole interne et une aube orientable de turbomachine. L'invention a également trait à une turbomachine axiale, notamment un turboréacteur d'avion ou un turbopropulseur d'aéronef.The invention relates to the field of orientable blades of an axial turbomachine.

De manière courante, plusieurs rangées d'aubes orientables peuvent équiper un carter statorique de compresseur de turboréacteur. De telles aubes peuvent pivoter pendant le fonctionnement du moteur.

La plage de fonctionnement et le rendement sont ainsi étendus.Usually, several rows of orientable vanes can equip a turbojet compressor stator housing. Such vanes can rotate during engine operation. Their arched blades tilt relative to the primary flow that they pass through, which makes it possible to adapt their action according to engine speed and flight conditions. The operating range and efficiency are thus extended.
Dans une optique de simplification de montage, ou tout simplement pour que le montage soit physiquement possible, la virole interne qui est suspendue aux aubes orientables peut être scindée en deux parties axiales. Ces deux parties peuvent se réunir afin de renfermer les paliers tournants autour des tourillons internes des aubes orientables.With a view to simplifying assembly, or quite simply so that assembly is physically possible, the internal shroud which is suspended from the orientable vanes can be split into two axial parts. These two parts can come together in order to enclose the rotating bearings around the internal journals of the orientable vanes.

L'invention optimise le maintien des paliers grâce à leur asymétrie qui se répercute sur les parties de la virole. Décaler l'interface entre les parties permet également d'offrir plus d'espace d'utilisation d'un outil provisoire de maintien des douilles. En outre, le contour des paliers leur permet de mieux gagner leur place dans les poches. Le stator est plus économique à produire.The invention optimizes the maintenance of the bearings by virtue of their asymmetry which has repercussions on the parts of the shell. Staggering the interface between the parts also allows more space to use a temporary socket holding tool. In addition, the contour of the bearings allows them to better save their place in the pockets. The stator is more economical to produce.
La configuration des parties de virole ; comme le caractère remplissant des paliers ; augmente l'étanchéité et donc le rendement de la turbomachine. La forme close du fond des poches accroit encore l'étanchéité, tout en augmentant la rigidité de la partie correspondante.The configuration of the ferrule parts; like the filling character of the levels; increases the tightness and therefore the efficiency of the turbomachine. The closed shape of the bottom of the pockets further increases the tightness, while increasing the rigidity of the corresponding part.

Dans la description qui va suivre, les termes interne et externe renvoient à un positionnement par rapport à l'axe de rotation d'une turbomachine axiale. La direction axiale correspond à la direction le long de l'axe de rotation de la turbomachine. La direction radiale est perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation. L'amont et l'aval sont en référence au sens d'écoulement principal du flux dans la turbomachine.In the description which follows, the terms internal and external refer to a positioning relative to the axis of rotation of an axial turbomachine. The axial direction corresponds to the direction along the axis of rotation of the turbomachine. The radial direction is perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Upstream and downstream refer to the main flow direction of the flow in the turbomachine.
La
Un ventilateur d'entrée communément désigné fan, ou soufflante, 16 est couplé au rotor 12 et génère un flux d'air qui se divise en un flux primaire 18 traversant les différents niveaux sus mentionnés de la turbomachine, et un flux secondaire 19 traversant un conduit annulaire (partiellement représenté) en générant une poussée utile à la propulsion d'un avion.An inlet fan commonly referred to as a fan, or blower, 16 is coupled to the
La
Le compresseur comprend un stator 20 avec une virole externe 22 monobloc qui peut former le carter externe du compresseur. La virole externe 22 est d'un seul tenant. Elle décrit une boucle fermée. Elle présente une continuité de matière circulaire et/ou une homogénéité circulaire. Elle peut être monobloc sur toute sa longueur. Elle peut comprendre une portion venue de matière.The compressor comprises a
Le rotor 12 peut comprendre plusieurs rangées d'aubes rotoriques 24, par exemple deux ou trois ou d'avantage de rangées rotoriques (une seule visible). Malgré la rotation du rotor 12, l'inclinaison dans l'espace des cordes des aubes rotoriques 24 reste invariante par rapport à l'axe de rotation 14. Les aubes rotoriques 24 peuvent former un disque monobloc ; c'est-à-dire qu'elles sont indissociables de leur jante support 25. Un tel agencement est également connu sous le terme « blisk ».The
Le compresseur 4 comprend plusieurs redresseurs, par exemple au moins deux, ou au moins trois ou au moins quatre redresseurs. Chaque redresseur comprend une rangée annulaire d'aubes statoriques 26. Ces aubes sont statoriques en ce sens qu'elles sont montées sur le stator 20 et restent donc en contact de ce dernier. Les redresseurs sont associés au fan ou à une rangée d'aubes rotoriques 24 pour redresser leurs flux d'air, de sorte à convertir la vitesse du flux en pression statique.The
Les aubes statoriques 26 comprennent des aubes statoriques à orientation pilotée 26. Ces aubes orientables 26 s'étendent radialement vers l'intérieur de la virole extérieure 22 et décrivent une rangée annulaire. Ces aubes orientables 26 sont également appelées aubes à calage variable, ou selon l'acronyme anglo-saxon « VSV » pour « Variable Stator Vane ». Leur particularité est qu'elles peuvent pivoter sur elles-mêmes, si bien que l'inclinaison de leurs cordes peut varier par rapport à l'axe de rotation 14 du compresseur 4, et ce pendant son fonctionnement.The stator vanes 26 comprise stator vanes with piloted
Leurs aubes peuvent balayer avec leurs cordes un angle d'au moins 30° entre deux positions extrêmes. Leurs faces intrados et extrados peuvent être plus ou moins exposées au flux primaire 18. Les aubes orientables 26 peuvent pivoter par rapport au flux 18, si bien qu'elles couvrent plus ou moins la veine fluide grâce à leurs pales. Elles peuvent intercepter davantage le flux primaire 18. La largeur circonférentielle qu'elles occupent peut varier. Leur bord d'attaque et leur bord de fuite peuvent se rapprocher ou s'éloigner des aubes de la même rangée. En étant plus ou moins inclinées par rapport au sens d'écoulement général, elles dévient plus ou moins le flux primaire 18 pour moduler le redressement de flux qu'elles procurent. Ainsi, la turbomachine et le compresseur peuvent suivre différentes courbes de rendements lors du fonctionnement. Les aubes statoriques peuvent comprendre d'autres rangées annulaires d'aubes 28 ; ces autres aubes étant éventuellement à orientation fixe ou à orientation pilotée.Their blades can sweep with their strings an angle of at least 30 ° between two extreme positions. Their intrados and extrados faces may be more or less exposed to the
Le stator 20 du compresseur 4 comprend une virole interne 30 suspendue aux extrémités internes des aubes orientables 26, mais tout en conservant le caractère pivotant des aubes orientables 26. A cet effet, la virole interne 30 est équipée de paliers tournants 32 qui sont montés autour des tourillons internes 34 des aubes orientables 26. Radialement à l'opposé, les aubes orientables 26 présentent des tourillons externes 36 engagés dans des orifices 38, éventuellement formés au travers de bossages 40. Les tourillons (34 ; 36) peuvent former des tiges cylindriques, et peuvent être venus de matière avec leur pale. Le système de commande des aubes orientables est bien connu de l'homme du métier et ne sera pas détaillé davantage.The
Le stator 20 comporte un carter intermédiaire 42, faisant partie de la structure portante de la turbomachine. Ce carter intermédiaire 42 peut recevoir un bec de séparation (non représenté). Le carter intermédiaire 42 peut comprendre une portion externe 44, des bras de carter 46 formant des supports traversant le flux primaire 18, et un moyeu interne 48 qui peut rejoindre la virole interne 30.The
La virole externe 22 peut comprendre une paroi annulaire 50 et une bride amont 52 fixée à la portion externe 44 du carter intermédiaire 42. La paroi 50 peut être venue de matière. Elle peut s'étendre tout le long axialement des aubes orientables 26 et éventuellement des autres aubes.The
Selon une option de l'invention, la surface interne 56 de la virole externe 22 présente un diamètre interne qui décroit vers l'aval et qui épouse les extrémités externes des aubes rotoriques 24. Cette configuration impose donc de placer les aubes rotoriques 24 dans la virole externe 22 avant de monter les aubes orientables 26 et leur virole interne 30. Le contraire ne serait pas physiquement possible en raison du caractère monobloc de la virole externe 22.According to one option of the invention, the
En réponse à cette contrainte technique, la virole interne 30 est scindée. Elle est divisée axialement en une partie amont 60 et en une partie aval 62. Ces parties peuvent chacune former une boucle fermée. Au moins une ou chaque partie (60 ; 62) est monobloc, c'est-à-dire qu'elle(s) présent(ent) une continuité de matière circulaire. Alternativement, l'une d'elle est segmentée angulairement. Toutefois une configuration monobloc améliore la rigidité et le maintien de la virole interne 30 via les tourillons internes 34, qui forment des liaisons pivot ; soit une liaison mécanique à un seul degré de liberté.In response to this technical constraint, the
Bien qu'une seule aube orientable 26 et qu'un seul palier 32 ne soient visibles, le présent enseignement peut s'appliquer à toute leur rangée.Although a single
La
La partie amont 60 et la partie aval 62 sont représentées depuis l'extérieur. La partie amont 60 présente une rangée annulaire de poches 64, quatre d'entre elles étant représentées. Les poches 64 présentent chacune un fond 66 fermé permettant une étanchéité contre la partie aval 62. Elles peuvent se terminer contre l'interface de séparation axiale 68 des parties axiales (60 ; 62). L'interface de séparation axiale 68 peut être un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation 14, ou être sensiblement conique. Les poches 66 ont des formes de la lettre « U » retournée, les paliers étant de forme complémentaire à celle de ces poches 64. Ces poches 64 sont séparées par des cloisons étanches 69.The
La
Le palier 32 est monobloc. Il présente une portion amont hémicylindrique, et une portion aval rectangulaire dotée de faces latérales 70 de guidage axial. Ces faces 70 peuvent être parallèles. Un orifice 72 destiné à recevoir le tourillon interne de l'aube orientable est à l'interface des portions. Une surface plane 74 en forme de disque entoure l'orifice 72. En complément, le palier présente une surépaisseur radiale 76, qui est en élévation par rapport à la surface plane 74. La surépaisseur 76 peut joindre une extrémité axiale du palier, par exemple sa facette aval 78 plane qui permet un blocage en rotation contre la partie aval de la virole.The
Bien qu'un seul palier 32 ne soit représenté, cet enseignement peut s'appliquer à toute sa rangée annulaire.Although only one
La
L'axe de pivotement 80 est distant de l'interface axiale 68 entre les parties (60 ; 62). Ceci permet de mieux maintenir le palier 32 dans l'une des parties ; en l'occurrence dans la partie amont 60. L'aspect distant peut être mesuré dans la matière de la virole 30.The
La surépaisseur 76 affleure l'extérieur de la virole 30. La surépaisseur 76 peut former partiellement la surface extérieure 82 de la virole interne 30 ; surface extérieure 82 qui permet de délimiter et de guider le flux primaire 18 dans la turbomachine. Cette surépaisseur 76 permet de combler un espace de la virole 30 tout en s'accommodant de son caractère compact. Par exemple, le profil de la virole interne peut présenter une longueur supérieure ou égale au double de son épaisseur radiale. La surépaisseur 76 peut former une séparation entre la partie aval 62 et le disque platine 84 de l'aube orientable 26. En particulier, elle peut glisser contre le contour cylindrique du disque 84.The
Le rotor 12 coopère de manière étanche avec la partie aval 62, éventuellement au niveau d'un joint abradable 86. Le palier 32 ne chevauche pas le joint annulaire 86 puisque l'interface 68 les sépare.The
La
Le procédé peut comporter les étapes suivantes, éventuellement réalisées dans l'ordre qui suit :
- (a)-
agencement 100 de la virole externe autour du rotor ; - (b)- mise en
place 102 de la partie aval de la virole interne ; - (c)-
introduction 104 radiale de l'aube orientable dans la virole externe ; - (d)-
engagement 106 radial du palier à l'intérieur de l'aube orientable ; - (e)-
montage 108 de la partie amont de la virole interne en la glissant axialement contre la face de guidage axial du palier.
- (a) -
arrangement 100 of the outer shell around the rotor; - (b) - positioning 102 of the downstream part of the inner shell;
- (c) -
radial introduction 104 of the orientable blade into the outer shell; - (d) -
radial engagement 106 of the bearing inside the orientable vane; - (e) - mounting 108 of the upstream part of the internal ring by sliding it axially against the axial guide face of the bearing.
Lors de l'étape (b) mise en place 102, la première partie mise en place est en contact du rotor, par exemple autour et/ou au contact d'un joint du rotor. Ce joint peut être un jeu de léchettes. Le joint peut centrer la partie aval par rapport au rotor. L'autre partie peut être libre de joint.During step (b)
Lors de l'étape (d) engagement 106, le palier glisse radialement contre la première partie, notamment contre la partie aval, et est chaussé autour du tourillon interne de l'aube orientable.During step (d)
Pendant l'étape (e) montage 108, la partie amont est translatée axialement tout en étant guidée par les faces de guidage. Puisque les paliers peuvent tourner par rapport aux tourillons, ils tournent de sorte à s'axer dans leur poche, ce qui simplifie le rapprochement de la partie amont.During step (e)
