Description
L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande d'aubes à calage variable dans une turbomachine, telle qu'un turboréacteur d'avion par exemple.The invention relates to a variable-pitch blade control device in a turbomachine, such as an aircraft turbojet for example.
Les documents
Dans un turboréacteur, des étages d'aubes de redressement de la veine d'écoulement sont montés entre les étages des roues de compresseur et de turbine. Ces aubes de redressement sont portées par leur stator et sont réglables en position autour de leur axe pour optimiser l'écoulement des gaz dans la veine.In a turbojet engine, flow vane straightening stage stages are mounted between the stages of the compressor and turbine wheels. These straightening vanes are carried by their stator and are adjustable in position about their axis to optimize the flow of gases in the vein.
Chaque aube de redressement, ou aube à calage variable, comprend une queue cylindrique de guidage en rotation, montée dans un passage cylindrique du carter du turboréacteur et se terminant par un carré d'entraînement sur lequel est engagé un orifice correspondant formé à une extrémité d'une biellette. L'autre extrémité de la biellette comporte un doigt cylindrique radial de montage sur un anneau de commande qui entoure extérieurement le carter et qui est relié à un moyen d'entraînement en rotation autour de l'axe du turboréacteur, ce moyen d'entraînement étant en général un vérin ou un moteur électrique.Each rectifying blade, or variable pitch blade, comprises a cylindrical rotating guide shank, mounted in a cylindrical passage of the turbojet engine housing and terminating in a driving square on which is engaged a corresponding orifice formed at one end of the turbojet engine. a link. The other end of the link comprises a cylindrical radial finger mounting on a control ring which surrounds the casing externally and which is connected to a means for driving in rotation about the axis of the turbojet engine, this drive means being usually a cylinder or an electric motor.
La rotation de l'anneau de commande est transmise par les biellettes aux queues cylindriques des aubes et les fait tourner autour de leurs axes.The rotation of the control ring is transmitted by the links to the cylindrical shanks of the vanes and rotates about their axes.
Une certaine précision dans le montage des biellettes sur l'anneau de commande et sur les queues des aubes est nécessaire pour que les aubes soient toutes orientées de la même façon dans toutes leurs positions angulaires.Some precision in the assembly of the rods on the control ring and on the tails of the blades is necessary so that the blades are all oriented in the same way in all their angular positions.
Dans certaines turbomachines, les axes des queues des aubes et les axes des doigts des biellettes sont parallèles, ce qui permet un montage sans jeu des biellettes sur l'anneau de commande et sur les queues des aubes, par un mouvement de translation radiale.In some turbomachines, the axes of the blade tails and the axes of the fingers of the rods are parallel, which allows a play-free assembly of the rods on the control ring and on the tails of the rods. blades, by a radial translation movement.
Dans d'autres turbomachines, les axes des doigts des biellettes sont radiaux et les axes des queues des aubes sont inclinés par rapport à une direction radiale. Pour leur montage, les biellettes sont engagées sur l'anneau de commande et sur les queues des aubes par un mouvement de translation radiale, ce qui permet de monter sans jeu le doigt de chaque biellette sur l'anneau de commande, mais impose de prévoir un jeu à l'autre extrémité de la biellette pour engager l'orifice formé à cette autre extrémité sur le carré d'entraînement prévu à l'extrémité de la queue de l'aube.In other turbomachines, the axes of the fingers of the rods are radial and the axis of the tails of the vanes are inclined relative to a radial direction. For their assembly, the rods are engaged on the control ring and on the tails of the blades by a radial translational movement, which makes it possible to mount the finger of each link without play on the control ring, but imposes to provide a game at the other end of the link to engage the orifice formed at this other end on the drive square provided at the end of the tail of the blade.
Ce jeu nécessaire au montage en raison de l'inclinaison du carré d'entraînement par rapport au déplacement en translation radiale de la biellette se traduit par un jeu, après montage, de la biellette sur le carré d'entraînement dans la direction longitudinale de la biellette et donc par une imprécision notable dans le positionnement angulaire de l'aube autour de son axe.This clearance required for mounting due to the inclination of the drive square relative to the displacement in radial translation of the rod results in a game, after assembly, of the rod on the drive square in the longitudinal direction of the rod and therefore by a noticeable inaccuracy in the angular positioning of the dawn around its axis.
La présente invention a notamment pour but d'éliminer cet inconvénient, de façon simple, économique et efficace.The present invention is intended in particular to eliminate this disadvantage, simply, economically and efficiently.
Elle propose à cet effet une turbomachine selon la revendication 1, comprenant un dispositif de commande d'aubes à calage variable, ce dispositif comprenant un anneau de commande monté à rotation autour du carter de la turbomachine et relié par des biellettes aux aubes à calage variable, chaque biellette comportant à une extrémité un doigt radial de montage sur l'anneau de commande et à son autre extrémité un orifice de montage sur un carré d'entraînement formé à l'extrémité d'une queue cylindrique de l'aube, guidée en rotation dans un passage cylindrique du carter, caractérisée en ce que, l'axe de la queue cylindrique de l'aube étant incliné par rapport à l'axe du doigt radial de la biellette, l'orifice de montage de la biellette présente, dans la direction longitudinale de la biellette, une dimension supérieure à celle du carré d'entraînement et détermine avec celui-ci, dans la direction précitée, un jeu qui varie sur la hauteur du carré d'entraînement et dudit orifice de montage entre une valeur suffisante pour engager l'orifice de montage sur le carré d'entraînement en déplaçant la biellette parallèlement à l'axe de son doigt radial et une valeur très faible ou presque nulle quand la biellette est en place sur le carré d'entraînement, et en ce que, quand la biellette est en place sur le carré d'entraînement, le jeu précité est sensiblement triangulaire dans un plan passant par l'axe de la queue d'entraînement et orienté parallèlement à la direction longitudinale de la biellette.To this end, it proposes a turbomachine according to claim 1, comprising a variable-pitch blade control device, this device comprising a control ring rotatably mounted around the casing of the turbomachine and connected by links to the variable-pitch vanes. , each link having at one end a radial mounting finger on the control ring and at its other end a mounting hole on a drive square formed at the end of a cylindrical tail of the blade, guided in rotation in a cylindrical passage of the casing, characterized in that, the axis of the cylindrical tail of the blade being inclined relative to the axis of the radial finger of the rod, the mounting hole of the rod has, in the longitudinal direction of the rod, a dimension greater than that of the training square and determines with it, in the aforementioned direction, a game that varies on the height of the training square and said mounting port between a value sufficient to engage the mounting port on the drive square by moving the link parallel to the axis of its radial finger and a very small value or almost zero when the rod is in place on the drive square, and in that, when the rod is in place on the drive square, the aforementioned game is substantially triangular in a plane passing through the axis of the tail drive and oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rod.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet d'une part le montage d'une biellette par engagement sur l'anneau de commande et sur une queue d'aube par un mouvement de translation radiale, à l'aide d'un jeu suffisant entre l'orifice de la biellette et le carré d'entraînement de l'aube dans la direction longitudinale de la biellette, et d'autre part le positionnement angulaire précis de l'aube autour de son axe, à l'aide d'un jeu très faible ou presque nul une fois que la biellette est en place sur le carré d'entraînement de l'aube.The device according to the invention makes it possible, on the one hand, to mount a connecting rod by engagement on the control ring and on a blade stem by means of a radial translational movement, by means of a sufficient clearance between orifice of the rod and the drive square of the blade in the longitudinal direction of the rod, and secondly the precise angular positioning of the blade around its axis, with the aid of a very low or near zero once the link is in place on the dawn drive square.
Quand la biellette est en place sur le carré d'entraînement, le jeu précité est sensiblement triangulaire dans un plan passant par l'axe de la queue d'entraînement et orienté parallèlement à la direction longitudinale de la biellette.When the rod is in place on the drive square, the above game is substantially triangular in a plane passing through the axis of the drive tail and oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rod.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le jeu précité est formé entre une face droite du carré d'entraînement, parallèle à l'axe de rotation de l'aube, et une surface oblique de l'orifice de montage de la biellette, inclinée par rapport à cet axe de rotation.According to another characteristic of the invention, the aforesaid game is formed between a straight face of the driving square, parallel to the axis of rotation of the blade, and an oblique surface of the mounting hole of the rod, inclined relative to this axis of rotation.
La dimension de l'orifice de montage, dans la direction longitudinale de la biellette, diminue alors progressivement de l'extrémité radialement interne de cet orifice, par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la turbomachine, jusqu'au voisinage de son extrémité radialement externe, par rapport au même axe, puis est constante jusqu'à cette extrémité radialement externe.The dimension of the mounting orifice, in the longitudinal direction of the rod, then decreases progressively from the radially inner end of this orifice, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the turbomachine, to the vicinity of its radially outer end. , relative to the same axis, and is constant up to this radially outer end.
Dans une variante de réalisation de l'invention, le jeu précité est formé entre une surface droite de l'orifice de montage de la biellette, parallèle à l'axe de rotation de l'aube, et une face oblique du carré d'entraînement, inclinée par rapport à l'axe de rotation de l'aube.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the aforementioned clearance is formed between a straight surface of the rod mounting hole, parallel to the axis of rotation of the blade, and an oblique face of the drive square. , inclined relative to the axis of rotation of the blade.
La dimension du carré d'entraînement, dans la direction longitudinale de la biellette, augmente alors progressivement de son extrémité radialement externe jusqu'au voisinage de son extrémité radialement interne, puis est constante jusqu'à cette extrémité radialement interne.The size of the driving square, in the longitudinal direction the rod, then increases gradually from its radially outer end to the vicinity of its radially inner end, and is constant to this radially inner end.
