Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de solidarisation d'une aube sur une virole en vue d'obtenir une liaison mécanique étanche.The present invention relates to a method of securing a dawn on a ferrule in view to obtain a sealed mechanical connection.
Plus particulièrement, la présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de solidarisation destiné à être utilisé pour fixer les aubes sur les viroles extérieures des redresseurs de turbocompresseurs.More particularly, the present invention relates to a joining process intended to be used to fix the blades on the outer ferrules turbocharger rectifiers.
Les compresseurs de turboréacteurs sont souvent constitués d'une succession d'étages mobiles (constitués d'aubes mobiles) qui permettent de réaliser une compression du flux d'air, et d'étages fixes ou redresseurs dans lesquels les aubes sont maintenues par des viroles extérieures et qui permettent d'aligner le flux d'air de façon à ce que l'étage mobile suivant fonctionne dans de bonnes conditions.The turbojet compressors are often made up of a succession of moving floors (made up of movable blades) which allow a compression of the air flow, and of fixed stages or rectifiers in which the blades are held in place by ferrules that align the air flow of so that the next movable floor works in good conditions.
La présente invention se rapporte plus précisément à un procédé de solidarisation des aubes aux viroles extérieures des redresseurs.The present invention relates more precisely to a process of joining the blades to the external shrouds.
Dans plusieurs exemples de réalisation existantes, ces aubes sont rendues solidaires de ladite virole par des techniques de soudure. Ces soudures permettent d'obtenir une solidarisation mécanique tout en assurant également l'étanchéité dans la veine fluide de l'étage redresseur d'un compresseur.In several examples of implementation existing, these blades are made integral with said ferrule by welding techniques. These welds allow to obtain a mechanical connection while also ensuring sealing in the fluid vein of the rectifier stage of a compressor.
D'autres techniques de solidarisation consistent à utiliser des moyens de solidarisation mécanique, tels que des vis ou des rivets, qui permettent un assemblage mécanique très résistant. Cependant, de tels procédés de solidarisation présentent l'inconvénient qu'il est nécessaire, pour obtenir l'étanchéité adéquate dans la veine fluide, de disposer de joints supplémentaires à l'interface de liaison de l'aube sur la virole.Other joining techniques consist in using solidarity means mechanical, such as screws or rivets, which allow a very resistant mechanical assembly. However, such joining processes have the disadvantage that it is necessary, to obtain adequate sealing in the fluid vein, to have additional seals to the dawn link interface on the shell.
Selon une technique classique, on dispose un dépôt de polymère, par exemple un cordon de silicone souple, qui est de type bi-composant ou même mono-composant. Avantageusement, ce cordon contient un élément durcisseur qui permettra à la matière de polymériser ou de durcir dans les conditions d'utilisation après placement de ladite aube sur la virole que l'on solidarise à l'aide de rivets, par exemple.According to a conventional technique, there is a polymer deposition, for example a silicone bead flexible, which is of the bi-component or even mono-component type. Advantageously, this cord contains an element hardener that will allow the material to polymerize or harden in the conditions of use after placement of said dawn on the ferrule which is secured using rivets, for example.
Cependant, en l'absence de précautions particulières, on observe après le durcissement du cordon, un débordement de matière qui perturbe la veine aérodynamique, ce qui peut être fortement préjudiciable au rendement du compresseur.However, in the absence of precautions particular, we observe after the hardening of the cord, an overflow of matter which disturbs the vein aerodynamics, which can be highly detrimental to compressor efficiency.
De ce fait, il est nécessaire d'éliminer ces matières excédentaires par une opération manuelle qui est de ce fait influencée par la compétence et l'habilité de l'opérateur. Ceci bien entendu rend les coûts de réalisation de tels compresseurs relativement élevés.Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate these excess material by manual operation which is thus influenced by the competence and skill of the operator. This of course makes the costs of realization of such relatively high compressors.
La présente invention vise donc à proposer une solution qui permet pour des aubes rivetées ou vissées à des viroles d'étages redresseurs de présenter une étanchéité suffisante, tout en permettant de réduire le temps de mise en place de l'élément de l'étanchéité.The present invention therefore aims to provide a solution that allows for riveted or screwed blades to ferrules of rectifier stages to present a sufficient tightness, while reducing the installation time of the sealing element.
La présente invention vise donc à permettre de réduire les coûts de placement des aubes et donc de fabrication d'un compresseur.The present invention therefore aims to allow reduce the costs of placing the blades and therefore manufacture of a compressor.
La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé destiné à un étage redresseur d'un compresseur, ledit compresseur autorisant en son sein la circulation d'air selon un certain flux définissant la veine aérodynamique pour solidariser des aubes fixes à une virole, en particulier une virole extérieure de redresseur, à l'aide de moyens de solidarisation mécanique, caractérisé en ce que l'on dispose un joint préformé stabilisé dans une cavité qui sera présente entre ladite aube et la virole à la zone de jonction de ces deux éléments et qui permettra d'assurer l'étanchéité de la veine aérodynamique.The present invention relates to a process for a rectifier stage of a compressor, said compressor allowing circulation within it air according to a certain flow defining the vein aerodynamics to secure fixed blades to a ferrule, in particular an external rectifier ferrule, using mechanical fastening means, characterized in that there is a preformed joint stabilized in a cavity which will be present between said dawn and the ferrule at the junction area of these two elements and which will allow sealing the aerodynamic stream.
De manière particulièrement avantageuse, la matière du joint est constituée d'élastomère fluorocarboné (Viton).Particularly advantageously, the seal material consists of fluorocarbon elastomer (Viton).
La figure 1 représente une vue en coupe d'une aube fixée sur une virole extérieure d'un redresseur utilisant le procédé selon une première forme d'exécution.Figure 1 shows a sectional view of a blade fixed on an outer shroud of a rectifier using the method according to a first embodiment.
La figure 2 représente une vue en coupe d'une aube fixée sur une virole extérieure d'un redresseur utilisant le procédé selon une seconde forme d'exécution. Figure 2 shows a sectional view of a blade fixed on an outer shroud of a rectifier using the method according to a second embodiment.
La présente invention se rapporte donc à un procédé de solidarisation des aubes sur une virole extérieure d'un étage redresseur.The present invention therefore relates to a method of securing the blades on a ferrule exterior of a rectifier stage.
Les figures 1 et 2 représentent deux exemples
d'exécution d'un tel procédé. A la figure 1, on observe en
coupe une aube 1 solidarisée à une virole 3 par
l'intermédiaire d'au moins un rivet 5.Figures 1 and 2 show two examples
execution of such a process. In Figure 1, we observe in
cuts a
Le point délicat dans ce procédé de solidarisation réside dans l'étanchéité à obtenir à la jonction 2 de l'aube avec la virole.The tricky point in this process of solidarity lies in the seal to be obtained at the junction 2 of dawn with the ferrule.
Habituellement, on dispose à cet endroit un dépôt de polymère qui, après durcissement et polymérisation, a la capacité, dans les conditions d'utilisation, de remplir une cavité 4 réalisée à la jonction 2 aube - virole. Cependant, on observe en pratique que selon l'état de la technique, non seulement le dépôt de polymère aura tendance à effectivement remplir ladite cavité 4, mais également à déborder en dehors de cette cavité 4, créant un trop-plein de matière.Usually there is a deposit of polymer which, after hardening and polymerization, has the capacity, under the conditions of use, to fill a cavity 4 produced at the junction 2 dawn - ferrule. However, we observe in practical that according to the state of the art, not only the polymer deposition will tend to actually fill said cavity 4, but also to overflow outside of this cavity 4, creating an overflow of material.
Ainsi qu'illustré à la figure 1, la présente
invention se propose de résoudre le problème de débordement
du trop-plein de matière par la disposition d'un joint
préformé 6, c'est-à-dire réalisé dans une matière qui est
déjà stabilisée, de telle manière que sa forme corresponde
essentiellement à celle de la gorge ou de la cavité 4
prévue pour le recevoir à l'intersection de l'aube et de la
virole. Après la pose de l'aube, qui est solidarisée de
manière classique à l'aide de moyens mécaniques, tels que
des rivets 5, le joint 6 aura tendance à remplir
complètement ladite gorge ou cavité 4, sans toutefois qu'il
y ait de débordement de matière en dehors de celle-ci. Ceci
est dû essentiellement au fait que le joint 6 a été
préalablement stabilisé afin d'éviter toute réaction de
polymérisation ultérieure in situ.As illustrated in FIG. 1, the present invention proposes to solve the problem of overflow of the material overflow by the provision of a
De manière particulièrement avantageuse, le
joint préformé 6 est réalisé en élastomère fluorocarboné
(Viton).Particularly advantageously, the
preformed
Selon une forme d'exécution particulière
telle qu'illustrée à la figure 2, le joint 6 présente un
dimensionnement légèrement supérieur à celui de la gorge ou
cavité 4 dans laquelle il va être disposé.According to a particular form of execution
as illustrated in Figure 2, the
Comparativement aux procédés de l'état de l'art, la technique de solidarisation des aubes sur une virole, telle que décrite ci-dessus, permet de manière particulièrement avantageuse d'augmenter la productivité et donc de réduire le coût de réalisation de tels compresseurs, car ils ne nécessitent plus le recours à une opération manuelle qui consistait à doser soigneusement la quantité de polymère avant assemblage et à éliminer les débordements de matière du joint après assemblage.Compared to state process the art, the technique of joining the blades onto a ferrule, as described above, allows particularly advantageous to increase productivity and therefore reduce the cost of making such compressors because they no longer require the use of a manual operation which consisted in carefully dosing the amount of polymer before assembly and remove joint overflows after assembly.
