Definitions
- the invention relates to turbomachinery. It more particularly relates to a system for adjusting the centering of a turbomachine wheel relative to the stator ring which surrounds this wheel. It is particularly advantageous when the latter belongs to the high pressure stage of a turbojet turbine, a stage in which the narrow tolerances for centering the wheel are particularly critical.
- patent BE-A No 675737 proposes a device for controlling the variation in distance between a machine rotor and its casing, this device comprising an inductive measurement generator whose probing head slides on the wall of the casing and being fixed on the shaft through an opening of the casing and connected to an external electrical device.
- This solution does not provide for a measurement and correction of the parallelism between the respective axes of the rotor and the stator before determining a radial clearance for which no correction is proposed.
- Patent US-A No. 2711935 relates to a shaft mounted on a rolling bearing with the addition of an eccentric ring between the bearing and its support.
- a worm wheel At the end of the shaft, a worm wheel carries a measurement indicator, the key of which comes into contact with an inner surface of the wheel which is concentric with the shaft.
- No means of directly checking the parallelism of two axes is also provided and, in this case, the object is to adjust a pressure exerted between two cylinders or rollers cooperating by their external surface.
- Patent US-A No. 2700224 indicates means for controlling the perpendicularity of a surface to the axis of a thread, this thread and this surface being arranged on a single piece. No means of correction is associated.
- Patent G B-A No 825265 proposes means for correcting an angular misalignment, in fact alignment in the direction of two parts of the shaft which are coupled at the level of a central journal of a turbomachine. Cylindrical sleeves with concurrent axes are used to obtain this correction.
- the object of the invention is an adjustment system which does not have any of the drawbacks mentioned above and which, moreover, makes it possible to easily adjust the centering of a wheel in an already assembled turbine.
- the tree in question is not necessarily the one that directly carries the wheel. It is effectively the latter when it pivots in fixed bearings, that is to say linked directly to the frame.
- the turbine is a double-body machine in which the shaft of the centering wheel (HP wheel) is supported by an inter-shaft bearing itself supported by a pivoting shaft in fixed bearings (BP or MP wheel shaft )
- the means of reducing the value of the offset are associated with the fixed bearing closest to this wheel. Its recentering is therefore ensured by means of the B P or M P shaft and by means of the HP shaft. It will be seen that this arrangement considerably facilitates the mounting of the compensation ring.
- the BP stator comprises the casing 10 which carries the successive rings of fixed blades 11 and a ring 12 fixed to the upstream flange of the casing 10 and which more specifically carries the first crown of fixed blades 11 A which constitutes the inlet distributor of the BP module.
- the HP stator portion On the upstream flange of the ring 12 is fixed the HP stator portion which includes the stator ring 13 which delimits the HP vein as well as the ferrule 14 which is fixed to the upstream flange of the ring 12 and which carries the ring. 13.
- the casing 10 is fixed by its downstream flange to the upstream flange of the turbine frame element 15.
- the elements which constitute the HP rotor are drawn in phantom because the measuring device 70 (see below) must be used before mounting this rotor.
- the bearing is a roller bearing which includes the inner ring 41 fitted on the shaft 24, the rollers 42 and the outer ring 43 housed in the bore of the support 31.
- the ring 43 is provided with a flange 44 which allows its fixing on a flat surface 32 of the support 31 by means of bolts 45.
- the centering of the ring 43 in the bore of the support 31 is ensured by means of an interchangeable ring 46.
- this ring 46 is a ring 46A (fig. 3 ) with concentric cylindrical surfaces 47A and 48A.
- the ring 46 is a ring 46B (fig. 4) whose cylindrical bearings 47B and 48B are off-center by a suitable value (distance from their respective centers C2etC1).
- the ring 46B In order to facilitate the correct positioning of the ring 46B, it has two marks on one side, an XX sign indicating the direction of the strongest offset and an X sign, diametrically opposite, indicating the direction of the most weak offset. Maintaining the orientation of the eccentric ring 46 B is ensured by the clamping in the axial direction of this eccentric ring by means of the bolts 45 bearing on the flange 44. This maintenance can also be ensured by the hooping between the surface of contact of the ring 46B and the part opposite the support 31.
- This measuring device includes a measuring frame 60 and a measuring arm 70.
- the frame 60 is a bracket whose vertical branch 61 is intended to fix the frame 15 of the turbine by the downstream flange thereof and whose horizontal branch 62 supports the branch 61 and a shaft support 63.
- a large orifice 64 is formed in the vertical branch 61 to allow access downstream to the bearing 40.
- the turbine housing (frame element 15, casing 10-12, ferrule 14) is firstly fixed to the vertical branch 61 by means of bolts 152 which pass through the downstream flange 151 of the frame element 15.
- L 'shaft 24 is then mounted in the conical support 31 (accessible through the orifice 64 of the measuring frame) via the bearing 40 and the ring with concentric bearings 46A (fig. 3), while being supported towards the upstream by means of a bearing 65 fixed on the support 63.
- the position of the bearing 65 is adjustable on demand in the two directions transverse to the axis of the turbine, for example by means of transverse stops (not shown) and shims such as 66.
- an eccentricity measuring arm 70 which comprises, on the one hand, a radial support rod 71 fixed by its foot to a sleeve 72 tightened on the shaft by a screw 73 and, on the other hand, two support arms parallel to the axis of the shaft 24 and respectively fixed to nuts 76 and 77 which can slide on the rod 71 and be fixed there in determined positions.
- the first phase of the measurement consists, on the one hand, in mounting on the external arm 74 a displacement sensor (comparator) 78 the key of which touches the flat downstream face of the flange 141 of the ferrule 14, on the other hand, to rotate the shaft 24 and to adjust the position of the bearing 65 so that the displacements of the key remain below a determined limit (for example 20 to 30 ⁇ ). It is then certain that the axis XX of the shaft 24 is perpendicular to the plane of the flange 141 and, therefore, parallel to the axis of the stator BP.
- the second phase consists in using a comparator 79 carried by the internal arm 75 to palpate the internal wall of the ring 13 by rotating the shaft 24.
- the reading of the indications of this comparator then makes it possible to determine the eccentricity of the shaft and ring and, therefore, to determine the offset C1-C2 and the position to be assigned to the ring 46B (fig. 4) to correct this offset.
- the ring 46B is either produced on demand, or chosen from a batch of rings whose offset values are distributed over a determined range.
- a verification is carried out by again planing, if necessary, the position of the shaft 24 by means of the comparator 78 and the bearing 65 and by carrying out a new measurement of eccentricity by means of the comparator 79. If the results are within the tolerances, the measuring device 70 can be dismantled and the assembly of the turbine resumed.
- the example that has just been described relates to the case of a double-body turbine in which the HP conical shaft 53 is mounted on the BP shaft 24 by means of the inter-shaft bearing 54.
- the invention applies without difficulty to the case where the HP turbine shaft is supported by bearings on a fixed part. The recentering is then carried out by means of an eccentric ring inserted around the downstream fixed bearing.

Description
L'invention est relative aux turbomachines. Elle concerne plus spécialement un système d'ajustement du centrage d'une roue de turbomachine par rapport à l'anneau de stator qui entoure cette roue. Elle est notamment avantageuse lorsque celle-ci appartient à l'étage haute pression d'une turbine de turboréacteur, étage dans lequel les tolérances étroites de centrage de la roue sont particulièrement critiques.The invention relates to turbomachinery. It more particularly relates to a system for adjusting the centering of a turbomachine wheel relative to the stator ring which surrounds this wheel. It is particularly advantageous when the latter belongs to the high pressure stage of a turbojet turbine, a stage in which the narrow tolerances for centering the wheel are particularly critical.
La solution connue la plus courante pour assurer ledit centrage consiste:
- - à ménager une réserve de finition lors de l'usinage de la portée interne cylindrique du bâti de turbine dans laquelle doit se loger un palier fixe qui supporte l'arbre et qui est le plus proche de la roue,
- - à réaliser un montage à blanc pour assembler au moins la portion de la carcasse de stator qui inclut la portée et l'anneau,
- - à mesurer l'excentrage relatif de la portée et de l'anneau, et
- - à terminer l'usinage de la portée pour ramener l'excentrage dans les tolérances.
- to provide a finishing reserve during the machining of the internal cylindrical surface of the turbine frame in which a fixed bearing which must support the shaft and which is closest to the wheel must be housed,
- - to carry out a blank assembly to assemble at least the portion of the stator casing which includes the seat and the ring,
- - to measure the relative offset of the span and the ring, and
- - to finish machining the span to bring the offset back within the tolerances.
Cette solution est sûre, mais présente l'inconvénient d'imposer un montage à blanc. Cet inconvénient est particulièrement gênant lorsque la conception de la turbine est modulaire, c'est-à-dire par exemple lorsque l'étage HP (haute pression) est réalisé tout à fait indépendamment de l'étage MP (moyenne pression) ou de l'étage BP (basse pression) auquel il doit être acouplé sans retouches.This solution is safe, but has the drawback of requiring a blank assembly. This drawback is particularly troublesome when the turbine design is modular, that is to say for example when the HP stage (high pressure) is produced completely independently of the MP stage (medium pressure) or of the 'BP stage (low pressure) to which it must be coupled without retouching.
On a déjà proposé, notamment dans le brevet français publié sous le Na 2434269, de ménager- sur des anneaux intermédiaires qui joignent la portion de bâti de turbine incluant l'anneau statorique à la portion de bâti incluant le support de palier fixe - des portées annulaires décentrées par rapport à l'axe de la machine. L'ajustement du centrage de l'arbre se fait donc au moment de l'assemblage des deux portions de bâti en imposant à ces anneaux intermédiaires des orientations déterminées calculées d'après les résultats des mesures d'excentrage relatif de l'anneau statorique et de la portée du palier. Cette solution oblige à réaliser lesdites portées d'anneaux intermédiaires avec des décentrages différents, afin d'obtenir la compensation du décentrage de l'arbre par addition vectorielle des décentrages desdits anneaux intermédiaires. Elle devient pratiquement inapplicable lorsque les diamètres de ces anneaux sont importants.It has already been proposed, in particular in the French patent published under Na 2434269, to provide - on intermediate rings which join the portion of the turbine frame including the stator ring to the frame portion including the fixed bearing support - spans annulars offset from the machine axis. The adjustment of the centering of the shaft is therefore made at the time of the assembly of the two frame portions by imposing on these intermediate rings determined orientations calculated according to the results of the relative offset measurements of the stator ring and of the bearing range. This solution makes it necessary to produce said spans of intermediate rings with different offsets, in order to obtain compensation for the offsetting of the shaft by vector addition of the offsets of said intermediate rings. It becomes practically inapplicable when the diameters of these rings are large.
Par ailleurs, le brevet BE-A No 675737 propose un dispositif pour le contrôle de la variation de distance entre un rotor de machine et son enveloppe, ce dispositif comportant un générateur inductif de mesures dont la tête de sondage glisse sur la paroi de l'enveloppe et étant fixé sur l'arbre au travers d'une ouverture de l'enveloppe et relié à un appareil électrique extérieur. Cette solution ne prévoit pas une mesure et une correction du parallélisme entre les axes respectifs du rotor et du stator avant de déterminer un jeu radial pour lequel aucune correction n'est proposée.Furthermore, patent BE-A No 675737 proposes a device for controlling the variation in distance between a machine rotor and its casing, this device comprising an inductive measurement generator whose probing head slides on the wall of the casing and being fixed on the shaft through an opening of the casing and connected to an external electrical device. This solution does not provide for a measurement and correction of the parallelism between the respective axes of the rotor and the stator before determining a radial clearance for which no correction is proposed.
Le brevet US-A No 2711935 concerne un arbre monté sur un palier à roulement avec adjonction d'une bague excentrique entre le roulement et son support. En bout d'arbre, une roue à vis sans fin porte un indicateur de mesure dont la touche vient en contact avec une surface intérieure de la roue qui est concentrique à l'arbre. Aucun moyen de vérifier directement le parallélisme de deux axes n'est également prévu et, dans ce cas, l'objet est d'ajuster une pression s'exerçant entre deux cylindres ou rouleaux coopérant par leur surface externe.Patent US-A No. 2711935 relates to a shaft mounted on a rolling bearing with the addition of an eccentric ring between the bearing and its support. At the end of the shaft, a worm wheel carries a measurement indicator, the key of which comes into contact with an inner surface of the wheel which is concentric with the shaft. No means of directly checking the parallelism of two axes is also provided and, in this case, the object is to adjust a pressure exerted between two cylinders or rollers cooperating by their external surface.
Le brevet US-A No 2700224 indique des moyens pour contrôler la perpendicularité d'une surface à l'axe d'un filetage, ce filetage et cette surface étant disposés sur une pièce unique. Aucun moyen de correction n'est associé.Patent US-A No. 2700224 indicates means for controlling the perpendicularity of a surface to the axis of a thread, this thread and this surface being arranged on a single piece. No means of correction is associated.
Le brevet G B-A No 825265 propose des moyens pour corriger un désalignement angulaire, en fait l'alignement en direction de deux parties d'arbre qui sont accouplées au niveau d'un tourillon central de turbomachine. Des manchons cylindriques à axes concourants sont utilisés pour obtenir cette correction.Patent G B-A No 825265 proposes means for correcting an angular misalignment, in fact alignment in the direction of two parts of the shaft which are coupled at the level of a central journal of a turbomachine. Cylindrical sleeves with concurrent axes are used to obtain this correction.
L'objet de l'invention est un système d'ajustement qui ne présente aucun des inconvénients évoqués plus haut et qui, en outre, permet d'ajuster aisément le centrage d'une roue dans une turbine déjà montée.The object of the invention is an adjustment system which does not have any of the drawbacks mentioned above and which, moreover, makes it possible to easily adjust the centering of a wheel in an already assembled turbine.
Le système de l'invention, destiné par conséquent à permettre d'ajuster le centrage d'une roue de turbomachine par rapport à l'anneau statorique entourant cette roue, celle-ci étant supportée par un arbre destiné à pivoter dans des paliers fixes insérés dans des logements liés au bâti de turbine, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend:
- - un dispositif démontable de mesure de l'amplitude et de la direction du décentrage de la roue par rapport à l'anneau, comprenant:
- un bâti de mesure en forme d'équerre dont la branche verticale est destinée à assujettir le bâti de la turbine,
- un bras de mesure d'excentricité fixé sur l'arbre et comportant une tige-support radiale portant:
- . d'une part, un bras externe portant un premier capteur de déplacement de manière à rectifier l'orientation de l'axe de l'arbre afin de le rendre parallèle à l'axe de l'anneau, et
- . d'autre part, un bras interne portant un deuxième capteur de déplacement de manière à mesurer le décentrage de l'arbre et de l'anneau lorsque leurs axes sont ainsi rendus parallèles, en mesurant la variation de distance entre ledit anneau et le point de fixation du deuxième capteur de déplacement lorsque l'arbre pivote,
- - des moyens associés au palier fixe le plus proche de la roue pour ramener la valeur du décentrage de celle-ci en deçà d'une limite prédéterminée, comprenant une bague à portée interne et à portée externe relativement décentrées, insérée entre le palier qui est en contact avec ladite portée interne et un logement de palier qui est en contact avec ladite portée externe et est ménagé dans le support dudit palier, l'amplitude du décentrage desdites portées et l'orientation de ladite bague étanttelles que l'excentràge de la roue par rapport à l'anneau devient inférieur à ladite limite prédéterminée.
- - a removable device for measuring the amplitude and the direction of the off-center of the wheel relative to the ring, comprising:
- a square-shaped measurement frame, the vertical branch of which is intended to secure the frame of the turbine,
- an eccentricity measuring arm fixed on the shaft and comprising a radial support rod carrying:
- . on the one hand, an external arm carrying a first displacement sensor so as to correct the orientation of the axis of the shaft in order to make it parallel to the axis of the ring, and
- . on the other hand, an internal arm carrying a second displacement sensor so as to measure the off-center of the shaft and the ring when their axes are thus made parallel, by measuring the variation in distance between said ring and the point of fixing of the second displacement sensor when the shaft pivots,
- - means associated with the fixed bearing closest to the wheel to reduce the value of the off-center of the latter below a predetermined limit, comprising a ring with internal bearing and external bearing relatively offset, inserted between the bearing which is in contact with said internal bearing and a bearing housing which is in contact with said external bearing and is arranged in the support of said bearing, the amplitude of the decentering of said bearings and the orientation of said ring being such that the eccentricity of the wheel with respect to the ring becomes less than said predetermined limit.
D'après la définition générale qui précède, on voit que l'arbre dont il s'agit n'est pas obligatoirement celui qui porte directement la roue. Il s'agit effectivement de celui-ci lorsqu'il pivote dans des paliers fixes, c'est-à-dire liés directement au bâti. Mais, si la turbine est une machine à double corps dans laquelle l'arbre de la roue à centrer (roue H P) est supporté par un palier interarbre lui-même supporté par un arbre pivotant dans des paliers fixes (arbre de roue BP ou MP), les moyens de réduire la valeur du décentrage sont associés au palier fixe le plus proche de cette roue. Le recentrage de celle-ci est donc assuré par l'intermédiaire de l'arbre B P ou M P et par l'intermédiaire de l'arbre HP. On verra que cette disposition facilite considérablement le montage de la bague de compensation.From the general definition above, we see that the tree in question is not necessarily the one that directly carries the wheel. It is effectively the latter when it pivots in fixed bearings, that is to say linked directly to the frame. However, if the turbine is a double-body machine in which the shaft of the centering wheel (HP wheel) is supported by an inter-shaft bearing itself supported by a pivoting shaft in fixed bearings (BP or MP wheel shaft ), the means of reducing the value of the offset are associated with the fixed bearing closest to this wheel. Its recentering is therefore ensured by means of the B P or M P shaft and by means of the HP shaft. It will be seen that this arrangement considerably facilitates the mounting of the compensation ring.

On considère maintenant la fig. 2 qui montre la façon dont le palier fixe 40 est monté conformément à l'invention dans le support de palier 31 pour permettre le réglage de la position de l'arbre 24 dans ce support. Le palier est un roulement à galets qui comprend la bague intérieure 41 emmanchée sur l'arbre 24, les galets 42 et la bague extérieure 43 logée dans l'alésage du support 31.

Ce maintien peut également être assuré par le frettage entre la surface de contact de la bague 46B et la partie en vis-à-vis du support 31.In order to facilitate the correct positioning of the
On revient maintenant à la fig. 1 que l'on considère en même temps que la fig. 5 pour décrire le dispositif de mesure de l'invention et sa méthode d'utilisation. Ce dispositif de mesure comprend un bâti de mesure 60 et un bras de mesure 70. Le bâti 60 est une équerre dont la branche verticale 61 est destinée à fixer le bâti 15 de la turbine par la bride aval de celui-ci et dont la branche horizontale 62 supporte la branche 61 et un support d'arbre 63. Un orifice 64 de grande dimension est ménagé dans la branche verticale 61 pour permettre l'accès par l'aval au palier 40.We now come back to fig. 1 which is considered at the same time as FIG. 5 to describe the measuring device of the invention and its method of use. This measuring device includes a measuring
La carcasse de la turbine (élément de bâti 15, carter 10-12, virole 14) est tout d'abord fixée à la branche verticale 61 au moyen de boulons 152 qui traversent la bride aval 151 de l'élément de bâti 15. L'arbre 24 est alors monté dans le support conique 31 (accessible par l'orifice 64 du bâti de mesure) par l'intermédiaire du palier 40 et de la bague à portées concentriques 46A (fig. 3), tout en étant supporté vers l'amont au moyen d'un palier 65 fixé sur le support 63. La position du palier 65 est réglable à la demande dans les deux directions transversales à l'axe de la turbine, par exemple au moyen de butées transversales (non représentées) et de cales telles que 66.The turbine housing (
Sur l'arbre 24 est monté un bras de mesure d'excentricité 70 qui comporte, d'une part, une tige-support radiale 71 fixée par son pied à un manchon 72 serré sur l'arbre par une vis 73 et, d'autre part, deux bras-supports parallèles à l'axe de l'arbre 24 et respectivement fixés à des noix 76 et 77 qui peuvent coulisser sur la tige 71 et y être fixées dans des positions déterminées.On the
La première phase de la mesure consiste, d'une part, à monter sur le bras externe 74 un capteur de déplacement (comparateur) 78 dont la touche palpe la face plane aval de la bride 141 de la virole 14, d'autre part, à faire pivoter l'arbre 24 et à régler la position du palier 65 de telle sorte que les déplacements de la touche demeurent inférieurs à une limite déterminée (par exemple 20 à 30µ) . On est alors certain que l'axe XX de l'arbre 24 est perpendiculaire au plan de la bride 141 et, par conséquent, parallèle à l'axe du stator BP.The first phase of the measurement consists, on the one hand, in mounting on the external arm 74 a displacement sensor (comparator) 78 the key of which touches the flat downstream face of the
La deuxième phase consiste à utiliser un comparateur 79 porté par le bras interne 75 pour palper la paroi interne de l'anneau 13 en faisant pivoter l'arbre 24. Le relevé des indications de ce comparateur permet alors de déterminer l'excentricité de l'arbre et de l'anneau et, par conséquent, de déterminer l'excentrage C1-C2 et la position à assigner à la bague 46B (fig. 4) pour corriger cet excentrage. La bague 46B est soit réalisée à la demande, soit choisie dans un lot de bagues dont les valeurs d'excentrage sont réparties dans une gamme déterminée.The second phase consists in using a
On effectue une vérification en dégauchissant de nouveau, s'il y a lieu, la position de l'arbre 24 au moyen du comparateur 78 et du palier 65 et en réalisant une nouvelle mesure d'excentricité au moyen du comparateur 79. Si les résultats sont dans les tolérances, on peut démonter le dispositif de mesure 70 et reprendre le montage de la turbine.A verification is carried out by again planing, if necessary, the position of the
Dans le mode de réalisation de l'invention que l'on vient de décrire, le recentrage de l'arbre 24 dans l'alésage du support 31 (fig. 2) est assuré au moyen de la bague intermédiaire 46 insérée entre ledit alésage et la bague externe 43 du palier 40.In the embodiment of the invention that has just been described, the centering of the
L'exemple que l'on vient de décrire concerne le cas d'une turbine à double corps dans lequel l'arbre conique HP 53 est monté sur l'arbre B P 24 au moyen du palier interarbre 54. Ainsi qu'on l'a déjà signalé, l'invention s'applique sans difficultés au cas où l'arbre de turbine HP est supporté par des paliers sur partie fixe. Le recentrage est alors effectué au moyen d'une bague excentrée insérée autour du palier fixe aval.The example that has just been described relates to the case of a double-body turbine in which the HP
