Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a casing for a turbomachine rotor, and more particularly a casing for a turbojet engine fan.
  • An airplane is moved by several turbojet engines each housed in a nacelle also housing a set of connected actuating devices related to its operation and performing various functions when the turbojet engine is in operation or stopped, such as, for example, a thrust reverser system.
  • a nacelle generally has a tubular structure comprising an air inlet upstream of the engine, a middle section designed to surround a fan of the turbojet engine, and a downstream section housing thrust reverser means and designed to surround the combustion chamber of the turbojet engine and housing thrust reverser means.
  • the fan of the turbojet engine is essentially made up of a rotary shaft carrying a plurality of vanes. At their radial ends, the blades are circumferentially surrounded by a casing.
  • the fan casings are generally machined metal elements.
  • Such an embodiment makes it possible to easily add circumferential structural reinforcing flanges on a shroud between the two ends of the casing, said flanges then being able to serve also to support engine or nacelle equipment.
  • these casings can be made of a composite material, in particular of carbon fibers.
  • the present invention aims to offset the aforementioned drawbacks, and to that end comprises a casing for a turbomachine rotor, more particularly for a turbojet engine fan, comprising a peripheral shroud designed to form a clamping collar around the casing, characterized in that the shroud has at least one fitting or flange for the attachment of equipment.
  • peripheral shroud surrounding the fan casing, the latter can be used to support the fastening elements and flanges of accessories of a nacelle or of turbojet engines intended to be fastened to said casing.
  • the casing can thus be designed from the beginning to receive determined and adapted fastening means of the shroud and will not need to be modified to directly integrate the fittings and flanges of the accessories.
  • the shroud is made from a strip that can be closed on itself.
  • the shroud is made from at least two strips that are partially peripheral and able to be joined to each other.
  • the shroud is made from two substantially half-peripheral strips.
  • the shroud is primarily metal.
  • the installation of fittings or flanges can then be done as in the prior art.
  • the shroud is made primarily of a composite material, in particular from woven composite fibers.
  • the casing comprises stops, situated on either side of the shroud so as to ensure the positioning and centering thereof, and/or stops able to prevent any rotational movement by the latter.
  • the shroud is glued on the casing.
  • the casing has, at least at the shroud, a surface having a coefficient of friction with at least part of a surface of the shroud sufficient to limit or even prevent the rotation of the shroud around the casing.
  • the casing comprises at least two shrouds each able to retain at least one base of at least one fitting, said base being introduced between the shroud and the casing.
  • the shroud is retained on the casing by at least one discrete fastening means.
  • the present invention also concerns a propulsion assembly comprising a turbojet engine housed in a nacelle, characterized in that it comprises a fan casing according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic longitudinal cross-sectional illustration of a casing surrounding a fan of the turbojet engine.
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged partial view in transverse cross-section of a fastening of a shroud according to the invention around the casing of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic illustration of a fitting mounted on the shroud of FIG. 2 , said fitting being oriented perpendicular to the shroud.
  • FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic illustration of a fitting mounted on the shroud of FIG. 2 , said fitting being oriented in the plane of the shroud.
  • FIG. 5 is a partial enlarged view in partial cross-section of the shroud of FIG. 2 associated with a retaining stop of the casing.
  • FIG. 6 is a partial diagrammatic view in longitudinal cross-section of a shroud arranged in a groove present in the casing.
  • FIG. 7 is a diagrammatic illustration in longitudinal cross-section of a fitting maintained on the casing using two shrouds according to the invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a partial diagrammatic illustration in longitudinal cross-section of two shrouds retained on the casing using discrete fastening means.
  • FIG. 1 shows a fan 1 of a turbojet engine 2 , said fan 1 comprising a rotary shaft 4 supporting a set of peripheral vanes 3 . At their radial ends, the vanes are circumferentially surrounded by a casing 5 ensuring the internal aerodynamic continuity of an air intake structure (not visible) and an inner wall of a downstream section (not visible) of a nacelle.
  • the casing 5 is surrounded by a peripheral shroud 6 like a clamping collar.
  • the shroud 6 illustrated in FIG. 2 is made from a strip that can be closed on itself around said casing 5 having, to that end, two ends 7 , 8 brought, in the closing position, opposite each other preferably at a longitudinal median plane of the casing 5 .
  • the shroud 6 is kept closed around the casing 5 by a screw 9 /nut 10 system.
  • a fastening system makes it possible to easily adapt the gripping of the shroud 6 on the casing 5 .
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 each show a fitting 12 , 13 supported by the shroud 6 .
  • the fitting 12 has a foot 12 a fastened in the shroud 6 using fastening means 12 b of the nut type.
  • the fitting 12 is mounted perpendicular to the shroud 6 .
  • the fitting 13 has a foot 13 a fastened in the shroud 6 using fastening means 13 b of the nut type.
  • the fitting 13 is mounted in the axis at the shroud 6 .
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate the fact that the number, size, position, orientation and shape of the fittings can vary on a same shroud 6 , and their fastening therefore does not result from the production of particular fastening means on the casing.
  • FIG. 5 shows a stop 15 situated between the ends 7 , 8 of the shroud 6 , at the closing means 9 , 10 thereof, and aims to prevent any rotation of the shroud 6 around the casing.
  • closing flanges or connecting flanges with an air intake section or a downstream section, as stop aiming to prevent the longitudinal movement of the shroud 6 .
  • these lateral stops 16 , 17 are formed by making a peripheral groove 18 in the casing 5 , the shroud 6 being positioned inside said groove 18 .
  • the peripheral groove 18 is preferably made by machining in a local overthickness of the casing 5 .
  • FIG. 7 illustrates another method of fastening a fitting 21 using two shrouds 6 .
  • the fitting 21 has a mounting foot 21 a extending on either side of said fitting 21 along a longitudinal axis of the casing 5 .
  • the foot 21 a thus has an upstream extension and a downstream extension that are each maintained by a shroud 6 on the casing 5 .
  • FIG. 8 is an example of distribution of shrouds 6 along a fan casing 5 , the shrouds 6 being fastened in the casing using discrete fastening means distributed around the casing 5 .
