Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation de secteurs d'anneau sur un carter de turbine dans une turbomachine, telle en particulier qu'un turboréacteur ou un turbopropulseur d'avion.The present invention relates to a device for fixing ring sectors on a turbine casing in a turbomachine, such as in particular an airplane turbojet or turboprop engine.
Une turbine de turbomachine comprend plusieurs étages comportant chacun un distributeur formé d'une rangée annulaire d'aubes fixes portées par un carter de la turbine et une roue montée rotative en aval du distributeur dans une enveloppe cylindrique ou tronconique formée par des secteurs d'anneau fixés circonférentiellement bout à bout sur le carter de la turbine.A turbomachine turbine comprises a plurality of stages, each comprising a distributor formed of an annular row of stationary vanes carried by a casing of the turbine and a rotatably mounted wheel downstream of the distributor in a cylindrical or frustoconical envelope formed by ring sectors. circumferentially attached end-to-end on the turbine casing.
Les secteurs d'anneau comprennent à leurs extrémités amont des moyens circonférentiels tels que des rebords cylindriques engagés avec un petit jeu axial dans une gorge annulaire radialement interne d'un rail annulaire de carter et maintenus radialement dans cette gorge par un organe annulaire de verrouillage à section en C qui est engagé axialement depuis l'amont sur le rail de carter et sur les rebords cylindriques des secteurs d'anneau. Ces secteurs sont maintenus axialement par leurs rebords cylindriques engagés dans la gorge du rail de carter (voir par exemple le document
Le document
Les rebords précités des secteurs d'anneau sont « décambrés » par rapport au rail de carter et à l'organe de verrouillage, c'est-à-dire que les rebords des secteurs d'anneau ont un rayon de courbure supérieur à celui du rail de carter et de l'organe de verrouillage, ce qui permet de monter les rebords des secteurs d'anneau avec une certaine précontrainte radiale entre le fond de la gorge du rail et l'organe de verrouillage et de limiter ainsi les déplacements axiaux des rebords des secteurs d'anneau dans la gorge.The aforementioned edges of the ring sectors are "décambrés" relative to the crankcase rail and the locking member, that is to say that the edges of the ring sectors have a radius of curvature greater than that of the crankcase rail and the locking member, which makes it possible to mount the rims of the ring sectors with a certain radial prestressing between the bottom of the groove of the rail and the locking member and thus to limit the axial displacements of the edges of the ring areas in the gorge.
En fonctionnement, les dilatations thermiques différentielles des secteurs d'anneau et du carter entraînent une augmentation de cette précontrainte radiale qui est appliquée en des zones de contact ponctuelles entre les rebords des secteurs d'anneau et le rail de carter. Mais cette précontrainte disparaît progressivement dans le temps par usure des rebords des secteurs d'anneau et du carter dans ces zones de contact. Lorsque cette précontrainte radiale est nulle, les rebords des secteurs d'anneau peuvent se déplacer axialement dans la gorge du carter et user par frottement les faces amont et aval de la gorge du carter.In operation, the differential thermal expansions of the ring sectors and of the casing cause an increase in this radial prestress which is applied in point contact zones between the flanges of the ring sectors and the casing rail. But this prestressing gradually disappears in time by wear of the edges of the ring sectors and the housing in these contact zones. When this radial prestressing is zero, the flanges of the ring sectors can move axially in the groove of the housing and wear by friction the upstream and downstream faces of the groove of the housing.
Lorsque cette usure dépasse une certaine valeur, les rebords des secteurs d'anneau peuvent, en se déplaçant vers l'aval dans la gorge, se désengager de l'organe de verrouillage, ce qui se traduit par un basculement des secteurs d'anneau vers l'axe de la turbine et un risque de contact entre les secteurs d'anneau et la roue de turbine, susceptible de provoquer une destruction des secteurs d'anneau et de la roue.When this wear exceeds a certain value, the edges of the ring sectors can, by moving downstream in the groove, disengage from the locking member, which results in a tilting of the ring sectors to the axis of the turbine and a risk of contact between the ring sectors and the turbine wheel, may cause destruction of the ring sectors and the wheel.
L'invention a notamment pour but d'apporter une solution simple, efficace et économique à ce problème.The invention aims in particular to provide a simple, effective and economical solution to this problem.
Elle propose à cet effet une turbine de turbomachine, comprenant au moins un distributeur formé d'une rangée annulaire d'aubes fixes portées par un carter de la turbine, et une roue montée rotative en aval du distributeur dans une enveloppe sensiblement tronconique formée par des secteurs d'anneau fixés circonférentiellement bout à bout uniquement à leurs extrémités amont sur le carter de la turbine, les secteurs d'anneau comprenant à leurs extrémités amont des moyens circonférentiels d'accrochage qui sont engagés sur un rail de carter et qui sont maintenus par un organe annulaire de verrouillage à section en C engagé axialement sur le rail de carter et sur les moyens d'accrochage des secteurs d'anneau, caractérisée en ce que les moyens d'accrochage des secteurs d'anneau sont interposés axialement entre l'organe de verrouillage et le rail de carter et serrés axialement sur le rail de carter par l'organe de verrouillage.To this end, it proposes a turbomachine turbine, comprising at least one distributor formed of an annular row of stationary vanes carried by a casing of the turbine, and a rotatably mounted wheel downstream of the distributor in a substantially frustoconical casing formed by ring sectors circumferentially fixed end-to-end only at their upstream ends on the turbine casing, the ring sectors comprising at their upstream ends circumferential fastening means which are engaged on a casing rail and which are held by an annular locking member of C section axially engaged on the housing rail and on the hooking means of the ring sectors, characterized in that the attachment means of the ring sectors are interposed axially between the body locking and crankcase rail and axially clamped on the crankcase rail by the locking member.
Grâce à l'invention, les moyens d'accrochage des secteurs d'anneau sont immobilisés axialement sur le rail de carter par l'organe de verrouillage, ce qui empêche les moyens d'accrochage d'user par frottement le rail de carter et leur interdit de sortir de l'organe de verrouillage.Thanks to the invention, the attachment means of the ring sectors are axially immobilized on the casing rail by the locking member, which prevents the attachment means from frictionally rubbing the casing rail and their prohibited from exiting the locking member.
Avantageusement, les moyens d'accrochage des secteurs d'anneau sont également immobilisés radialement sur le rail de carter par l'organe de verrouillage.Advantageously, the attachment means of the ring sectors are also immobilized radially on the casing rail by the locking member.
Le dispositif selon l'invention a par ailleurs l'avantage de permettre une fixation des secteurs d'anneau sur un rail de carter indépendamment de l'usure de celui-ci.The device according to the invention also has the advantage of allowing attachment of the ring sectors on a casing rail regardless of the wear thereof.
Selon un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens d'accrochage comprennent une collerette annulaire s'étendant radialement vers l'extérieur à l'extrémité amont de chaque secteur d'anneau.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the attachment means comprise an annular flange extending radially outwardly to the upstream end of each ring sector.
La collerette annulaire de chaque secteur d'anneau est préférentiellement formée à l'extrémité amont d'un rebord cylindrique du secteur d'anneau, et est par exemple serrée axialement entre une paroi radiale de l'organe annulaire de verrouillage et une extrémité amont du rail de carter.The annular flange of each ring sector is preferably formed at the upstream end of a cylindrical rim of the ring sector, and is for example axially clamped between a radial wall of the annular locking member and an upstream end of the ring sector. crankcase rail.
L'organe de verrouillage est à section en C et sa paroi radiale est reliée à ses extrémités à des parois cylindriques s'étendant vers l'aval et engagées respectivement à l'extérieur du rail de carter et à l'intérieur du rebord cylindrique de chaque secteur d'anneau.The locking member is of C-section and its radial wall is connected at its ends to cylindrical walls extending downstream and engaged respectively outside the casing rail and inside the cylindrical rim of each ring sector.
L'organe de verrouillage est interposé axialement entre les collerettes des secteurs d'anneau et une paroi annulaire externe d'un distributeur de la turbine, de façon à exercer sur les collerettes annulaires un effort axial vers l'aval lorsque le distributeur est lui-même sollicité vers l'aval par le flux de gaz passant dans la turbine. Cet effort axial exercé par l'organe de verrouillage est suffisant pour immobiliser axialement les collerettes des rebords amont des secteurs d'anneau sur le rail de carter.The locking member is interposed axially between the flanges of the ring sectors and an outer annular wall of a distributor of the turbine, so as to exert on the annular flanges an axial force downstream when the distributor is itself even urged downstream by the flow of gas passing through the turbine. This axial force exerted by the locking member is sufficient to axially immobilize the flanges of the upstream edges of the ring sectors on the casing rail.
L'invention concerne également une turbomachine, telle qu'un turboréacteur ou un turbopropulseur d'avion, comprenant une turbine telle que décrite ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a turbomachine, such as an airplane turbojet or turboprop, comprising a turbine as described above.

Le rayon de courbure de l'organe de verrouillage 52 et du rail 50 est inférieur à celui des rebords 46 des secteurs d'anneau 20, ce qui permet de monter avec une certaine précontrainte radiale les rebords 46 des secteurs d'anneau dans la gorge 48 du rail, ces secteurs d'anneau étant localement en appui radial sur le fond de la gorge 48 et sur la paroi radialement interne 56 de l'organe de verrouillage, respectivement.The radius of curvature of the

En fonctionnement de la turbomachine, ce distributeur 12 est sollicité vers l'aval par l'écoulement des gaz et exerce un effort axial dirigé vers l'aval sur les collerettes annulaires 72 des secteurs d'anneau 70 par l'intermédiaire de l'organe de verrouillage 80. Cet effort axial est suffisant pour maintenir axialement serrées les collerettes 72 des secteurs d'anneau sur le rail de carter 50.In operation of the turbomachine, this
Les collerettes 72 des secteurs d'anneau sont ainsi immobilisées axialement et radialement par l'organe de verrouillage 80 sur le rail de carter 80, et ne peuvent donc pas user par frottement le rail de carter.The
Par ailleurs, les secteurs d'anneau 20 selon l'invention peuvent être accrochés sur un rail de carter 50 déjà usé comme cela est représenté par les traits pointillés 90, ce qui permet de réparer à moindres frais l'étage amont de la turbine basse-pression sans toucher au carter de la turbine.Moreover, the
Dans une variante de réalisation, le rebord amont 70 des secteurs d'anneau ne porte pas de collerette 72 et s'étend axialement jusqu'à la paroi radiale 82 de l'organe de verrouillage, le long de la partie cylindrique du rail du carter, qui est dépourvue de rebord radial à son extrémité amont. L'extrémité aval du rebord 70 est appliquée axialement sur le rail de carter par l'organe de verrouillage 80.In an alternative embodiment, the upstream flange 70 of the ring sectors does not bear
