Definitions

  • This invention is a result of a stator vane pivoting arrangement in a turbomachine.
  • the stator vanes fixed in a turbomachine and used to straighten the flow of gases before the next rotor stage of the rotor, may be of variable pitch, that is to say that their orientation is controlled according to of the machine's diet. They are then mounted on external pivots that protrude out of the stator housing and are connected to rods that a common control ring, surrounding the stator housing, rotates at will.
  • the rotation of the links produces a similar rotation of the vanes.
  • the transmission of the rotation is acquired by a suitable adjustment which may include a mutual support of plane faces established on an end section of the blade pivot and on a bore at the end of the rod, see for example the document EP -A-11 56 227: This end section and drilling are often squares.
  • a solution is offered with the invention, which is by its most general definition a stator vane pivoting arrangement in a turbomachine, comprising a vane pivot having an end protruding out of the stator and including a cross section. flat faces, and a control rod engaged on the end of the blade pivot by a bore limited by planar faces associated with the flat faces of the pivot, characterized in that it comprises a spring biased between the pivot and the link and arranged to press one of the flat faces of the pivot against one of the flat faces of the link.
  • the assemblies of these documents are also of a special kind.
  • the spring of the invention is an independent piece, distinct from the rest of the conventional square section assembly that does not need to be modified, the spring being only added to it.
  • the springs comprise a pierced washer placed on the rod and engaged around the end of the blade pivot, and a flexible flange of the washer, engaged on one side of the edge of the rod which is opposed to a the faces of the pivot on which the washer abuts, making with the washer a more open angle than a free state of the spring.
  • a turbomachine portion comprises a stator casing 1 carrying blades 2 fixed but orientable by pivots 3, located at the outer ends of the blades 2 and in bearings 4 passing through the housing 1; the inner ends of the blades 2 are united by a ring 5 engaged around an inner pivot 6 and which helps to maintain the circular stages of the blades 2 in place.
  • the pivots 3 pass through the stator casing 1 and end at an outer end 7, one of which Section 8 has a square shape. Further outside, the end 7 is threaded and receives a nut 9.
  • a link 10 is articulated between the end 7 and a control ring 11 around the stator housing 1 and at a short distance from the blade 2
  • the control ring 11 circles the stator housing 1 and is rotated by known means such as cylinders according to the control of the machine. It rotates the rod 10 around the pivot 3, as well as the latter and the entire blade 2.
  • the rod 10 comprises a hole 13 of square shape to its eyelet 17 end, and which comprises flat faces bearing on the flat faces of the pivot 3 to turn it.
  • a spring 15 is added to the device. It is distinct from the other parts of the assembly and in particular from the connecting rod 10 and the pivot 3, and it consists of a washer 16 placed on the eyelet 17 of the rod 10 and a flange 18 substantially at right angles with the washer 16 extending along a side edge face 19 of the washer 16.
  • the flange 18 has a corrugation 20 facing the side edge face 19 and the top touches.
  • a square bore 21 is formed through the washer 16.
  • the proportions of the spring 15 are chosen so that the flange 18 is pushed back when the bore 21 is engaged on the square section 8 of the end of the pivot 3, even though that one of the edge faces of the piercing 21 touches one of flat faces 12 (opposite to the side edge face 19) of the square section 8, and that the flat face 12 of the square section 8 which is opposite to the preceding touches the flat face 13 complementary to the eyelet 17 rod.
  • a tension is exerted on the spring 15, by which the angle of the washer 16 and the flange 18 is open relative to a free state, and it is reflected by a contact pressure between a pair planar faces 12 and 13 of the pivot 3 and the rod 10, which continues during all operating states of the machine.
  • the link 10 and the blade 2 remain at a fixed mutual angular position.
  • All the blades 2 of the stage controlled by the ring 11 are equipped with a similar spring 15. It may be useful to check that all the springs 15 will be mounted in the same way, in order to avoid differences in the positioning of the clearance between the piercing 21 and the square section 8 of the pivot 3.
  • a tongue 22 may be added to spring 15, which is fixed to the washer 16 and directed perpendicularly to it as the flange 18 already encountered, but which is not intended to be elastically deformed when the spring is placed, but to provide a foolproof function not to place the spring 15 only on one side.
  • the tongue 22 extends along the end faces of the wafer 23 of the rod 10 when the spring 15 has been correctly placed, but it prevents the washer 16 from resting on the eyelet 17 of the link 10 in the opposite case.
  • the invention would be practicable with other polygonal sections of the blade pivot and rod drilling.
