Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine général du montage des aubes de soufflante sur un disque rotatif d'une turbomachine comme décrit dans le document
La soufflante d'une turbomachine se compose typiquement d'une pluralité d'aubes montées sur un disque rotatif par l'intermédiaire de leur pied qui est emmanché dans des évidements du disque. Dans certaines technologies de montage d'aubes de soufflante, un anneau est également disposé autour d'une bride annulaire qui s'étend axialement du côté amont du disque rotatif. Un tel anneau est maintenu axialement contre la bride par l'intermédiaire de créneaux formés sur toute la circonférence de cette dernière. L'anneau est par ailleurs monté en butée axiale contre le pied des aubes afin d'assurer une rétention axiale de ces dernières.The fan of a turbomachine typically consists of a plurality of blades mounted on a rotating disc via their foot which is fitted into recesses of the disc. In certain fan blade mounting technologies, a ring is also disposed around an annular flange which extends axially on the upstream side of the rotating disk. Such a ring is held axially against the flange by means of crenellations formed on the entire circumference of the latter. The ring is also mounted in axial abutment against the blade root to ensure axial retention of the latter.
En pratique, ce type de montage d'aubes de soufflante pose de nombreux problèmes. Notamment, des usures ont été constatées sur l'anneau de rétention axiale et le disque rotatif. Ces usures sont principalement provoquées par les vibrations subies par l'anneau de rétention axiale lors de la rotation du disque. En particulier, la rotation du disque entraîne des faibles débattements de l'anneau de rétention axiale qui provoquent des usures sur le sommet des créneaux de la bride annulaire de maintien de l'anneau sur le disque. En outre, lors de la rotation du disque, l'anneau de rétention axiale a tendance à se déplacer tangentiellement autour de la bride du disque.In practice, this type of fan blade assembly poses many problems. In particular, wear has been noted on the axial retention ring and the rotating disk. These wearings are mainly caused by the vibrations experienced by the axial retention ring during the rotation of the disc. In particular, the rotation of the disk causes low deflections of the axial retention ring which cause wear on the crest of the slots of the annular flange for holding the ring on the disk. In addition, during the rotation of the disc, the axial retention ring tends to move tangentially around the flange of the disc.
La présente invention a donc pour but principal de pallier de tels inconvénients en proposant un dispositif d'amortissement des vibrations subies par l'anneau de rétention axiale des aubes de soufflante.The main purpose of the present invention is therefore to overcome such disadvantages by proposing a device for damping the vibrations undergone by the axial retention ring of the fan blades.

Par l'ajout de surfaces de contact avec l'anneau de rétention axiale et la bride du disque, le dispositif selon l'invention permet de modifier les modes propres de vibration de l'anneau de rétention. En outre, ce dispositif étant constitué d'un élément en matériau élastomère, les surfaces de ce dernier qui sont en contact avec l'anneau de rétention et la bride du disque ont tendance à venir se plaquer par effet centrifuge contre l'anneau de rétention et la bride. Ainsi, les vibrations subies par l'anneau de rétention sont amorties et tout risque d'usure est écarté. L'utilisation d'un tel dispositif d'amortissement permet également d'assurer un blocage tangentiel de l'anneau de rétention autour de la bride du disque.By adding contact surfaces with the axial retention ring and the disc flange, the device according to the invention makes it possible to modify the natural modes of vibration of the retention ring. In addition, this device consisting of an elastomeric material element, the surfaces of the latter which are in contact with the retaining ring and the flange of the disc tend to be pressed against the retention ring by centrifugal effect. and the bridle. Thus, the vibrations undergone by the retaining ring are damped and any risk of wear is eliminated. The use of such a damping device also makes it possible to ensure tangential locking of the retention ring around the flange of the disc.
L'élément de butée du dispositif d'amortissement peut être sensiblement parallélépipédique. Il peut également présenter une forme géométrique destinée à assurer son détrompage lors de son montage sur le disque.The stop element of the damping device may be substantially parallelepipedal. It may also have a geometric shape to ensure its keying when mounted on the disc.
De préférence, le matériau élastomère de l'élément de butée présente une dureté comprise entre 50 et 90 shore. Ce matériau élastomère est de préférence un silicone, un fluorosilicone ou un fluorocarbone.Preferably, the elastomeric material of the abutment element has a hardness of between 50 and 90 shore. This elastomeric material is preferably a silicone, a fluorosilicone or a fluorocarbon.

D'une part, la rotation du disque 10 entraîne des faibles débattements de l'anneau de rétention 30 qui provoquent des usures sur le sommet des créneaux extérieurs 20 de la bride 18 du disque. En outre, lors de la rotation du disque, l'anneau de rétention 30 a tendance à pivoter autour de la bride du disque avec le risque d'un désengagement de l'anneau.This type of assembly of the
Selon l'invention, il est prévu un dispositif d'amortissement des vibrations subies par l'anneau de rétention 30 permettant d'éliminer ces inconvénients.According to the invention, there is provided a vibration damping device undergone by the
Un tel dispositif se compose d'un élément de butée 38 en matériau élastomère destiné à venir se loger, d'une part axialement entre deux créneaux extérieurs 20 adjacents de la bride 18 du disque 10 et deux créneaux intérieurs 32 adjacents complémentaires de l'anneau de rétention 30, et d'autre part radialement entre la bride 18 et l'anneau de rétention 30.Such a device consists of a
Cet élément de butée 38, qui est représenté sur la
Par effet de la force centrifuge due à la rotation du disque 10, les surfaces de contact 40 de l'élément de butée 38 réalisé en matériau élastomère se déforment et viennent se plaquer contre l'anneau de rétention 30 et la bride 18 du disque en épousant leurs contours. Cette déformation des surfaces de contact 40 est schématisée sur la
L'ajout de surfaces de contact entre l'élément de butée 38 et l'anneau de rétention 30 et la bride 18 du disque 10 permet de modifier les modes propres de vibration de l'anneau de rétention. En outre, les surfaces de contact 40 de l'élément de butée 38 se déforment et viennent donc amortir les vibrations subies par l'anneau de rétention. De la sorte, tout risque d'usure est écarté.The addition of contact surfaces between the
Par déformation de ses surfaces de contact 40, l'élément de butée 38 permet également d'assurer un blocage tangentiel de l'anneau de rétention 30 autour de la bride 18 du disque 10 comme schématisé par les flèches F2 de la

Sur l'exemple de la
Par rapport au mode de réalisation de la
Le matériau élastomère des éléments de butée 38, 38' et 38" peut être par exemple un silicone (50D6/50D7, 50D8), un fluorosilicone ou un fluorocarbone ou tout autre matériau aux propriétés équivalentes.The elastomeric material of the
De préférence, le matériau élastomère de l'élément de butée 38, 38' et 38" présente une dureté comprise entre 50 et 90 shore.Preferably, the elastomeric material of the
Le nombre et la disposition angulaire des dispositifs d'amortissement des vibrations montés sur le disque peuvent varier. Sur l'exemple des
Il est cependant possible de monter un nombre plus ou moins élevé de dispositifs d'amortissement sur le disque ; le nombre minimum étant de deux et le nombre maximum correspondant au nombre d'emplacements disponibles sur le disque (c'est-à-dire au nombre d'aubes supportées par le disque). Lorsque le nombre de dispositifs d'amortissement est inférieur à celui des aubes, ces dispositifs peuvent ou non être répartis de façon équidistante.It is possible, however, to mount a greater or lesser number of damping devices on the disk; the minimum number being two and the maximum number corresponding to the number of available slots on the disk (that is to say the number of vanes supported by the disk). When the number of damping devices is less than that of the blades, these devices may or may not be distributed equidistantly.
Claims (9)
