Description
La présente invention concerne un drain d'évacuation de liquides, dans un carter d'échappement d'une turbomachine telle qu'un turboréacteur.The present invention relates to a drain for draining liquids, in an exhaust casing of a turbomachine such as a turbojet engine.
Le carter d'échappement d'une turbomachine comporte généralement une rainure qui est formée en aval et à proximité de la bride de fixation amont de ce carter et qui constitue une zone morte, c'est-à-dire à l'abri du flux primaire. Il est fréquent que des liquides, tels que de l'eau, du carburant et de l'huile, soient retenus dans une zone située « à 6 heures », c'est-à-dire vers le bas, dans cette rainure.The exhaust casing of a turbomachine generally comprises a groove which is formed downstream and close to the upstream fastening flange of this casing and which constitutes a dead zone, that is to say, protected from the flow primary. It is common for liquids, such as water, fuel and oil, to be held in an area "at 6 o'clock", i.e., downward, in this groove.
La stagnation de ces liquides n'est pas souhaitable, compte tenu notamment des risques d'incendie et de ceux liés au gel, et pour cette raison, les carters d'échappement comprennent généralement un orifice muni d'un drain au niveau de cette zone morte afin d'évacuer les liquides vers l'extérieur de la turbomachine.The stagnation of these liquids is undesirable, particularly in view of the risk of fire and those related to freezing, and for this reason, the exhaust casings generally comprise an orifice with a drain at this zone. in order to evacuate the liquids towards the outside of the turbomachine.
Ce drain est habituellement formé d'un corps cylindrique qui est soudé au carter au niveau de l'orifice d'évacuation précité.This drain is usually formed of a cylindrical body which is welded to the housing at the aforementioned discharge orifice.
La réalisation de cette soudure est cependant une opération longue, délicate, difficilement contrôlable et relativement dangereuse pour l'opérateur, et nécessite en particulier des retouches manuelles afin d'éliminer le surplus qui dépasse dans le drain et dans la veine primaire au niveau de la paroi interne du carter. Il est, de ce fait, nécessaire de prévoir de l'ordre de 4 heures de travail pour réaliser l'opération complète de soudure et d'élimination de surplus.The realization of this weld is however a long, delicate operation, difficult to control and relatively dangerous for the operator, and requires in particular manual retouching in order to eliminate the surplus that exceeds in the drain and in the primary vein at the level of internal wall of the housing. It is, therefore, necessary to provide the order of 4 hours of work to achieve the complete operation of welding and surplus disposal.

La présente invention a pour but d'apporter une solution simple, efficace et économique à ce problème, en simplifiant notamment le montage du drain sur le carter d'échappement et en réduisant considérablement le temps de travail nécessaire à ce montage.The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, effective and economical solution to this problem, in particular by simplifying the mounting of the drain on the exhaust casing and considerably reducing the working time required for this assembly.
L'invention a également pour but de garantir une bonne solidité et une étanchéité correcte de la fixation du drain sur le carter.Another object of the invention is to guarantee a good solidity and a correct sealing of the fixing of the drain on the housing.
Elle propose à cet effet un carter d'échappement de turbomachine, comportant une rainure annulaire percée d'un orifice dans lequel est monté un drain formé d'un corps cylindrique tubulaire, pour l'évacuation de liquides retenus dans cette rainure, caractérisé en ce que le drain comprend une jupe formée à une extrémité du corps cylindrique et sertie dans l'orifice de la rainure du carter pour la fixation du drain au carter.It proposes for this purpose a turbomachine exhaust casing, comprising an annular groove pierced with an orifice in which is mounted a drain formed of a tubular cylindrical body, for discharging liquids retained in this groove, characterized in that that the drain comprises a skirt formed at one end of the cylindrical body and crimped in the hole of the groove of the housing for fixing the drain to the housing.
La fixation du drain par sertissage permet d'éviter le recours à une soudure annulaire, dont les inconvénients ont été évoqués précédemment, et offre ainsi un gain de temps significatif lors du montage du drain sur le carter d'échappement de la turbomachine, le temps de montage complet étant d'environ 30 minutes au lieu de plusieurs heures.Fixing the drain by crimping makes it possible to avoid the use of an annular weld, the disadvantages of which have been mentioned above, and thus offers a significant time saving when mounting the drain on the exhaust casing of the turbomachine, the time complete assembly being approximately 30 minutes instead of several hours.
Avantageusement, le drain est réalisé dans un alliage métallique ayant un coefficient de dilatation thermique supérieur au coefficient de dilatation thermique du carter autour de l'orifice de montage du drain.Advantageously, the drain is made of a metal alloy having a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the housing around the mounting hole of the drain.
La dilatation du drain, sous l'effet de l'élévation de la température en fonctionnement, induit un effet de blocage du drain dans l'orifice du carter, et permet ainsi d'améliorer la fixation du drain au carter.The expansion of the drain, under the effect of the increase in temperature in operation, induces a drain blocking effect in the housing orifice, and thus improves the fixing of the drain to the housing.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'orifice de montage du drain comprend, à une extrémité, une partie cylindrique reliée par un rebord interne à une partie tronconique à l'autre extrémité de l'orifice, cette partie tronconique présentant un angle au centre de 60 degrés environ. La jupe du drain, qui a une épaisseur inférieure à celle du corps cylindrique et s'étend dans le prolongement de la surface interne de ce corps cylindrique, est appliquée sur le rebord interne et sur la partie tronconique après sertissage.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the drain mounting orifice comprises, at one end, a cylindrical portion connected by an internal flange to a frustoconical portion at the other end of the orifice, this frustoconical portion having a center angle of about 60 degrees. The skirt of the drain, which has a thickness less than that of the cylindrical body and extends in the extension of the inner surface of this cylindrical body, is applied to the inner flange and the frustoconical portion after crimping.
Cette configuration permet d'obtenir un sertissage optimal et de limiter au mieux les risques de perte du drain en fonctionnement ou en phase de maintenance de la turbomachine.This configuration makes it possible to obtain optimal crimping and to limit at best the risks of loss of the drain during operation or during the maintenance phase of the turbomachine.
Avantageusement, la partie cylindrique de l'orifice a un diamètre supérieur au diamètre maximal de la partie tronconique.Advantageously, the cylindrical portion of the orifice has a diameter greater than the maximum diameter of the frustoconical portion.
La partie cylindrique forme ainsi un chambrage dans lequel l'extrémité du corps cylindrique du drain portant la jupe est insérée, de sorte qu'un rebord annulaire du corps cylindrique, formé à la base de cette jupe, est appliqué sur un fond de ce chambrage.The cylindrical part thus forms a chamber in which the end of the cylindrical body of the drain carrying the skirt is inserted, so that an annular rim of the cylindrical body, formed at the base of this skirt, is applied to a bottom of this chamber.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, l'extrémité libre de la jupe après sertissage se trouve sensiblement au niveau de la surface interne de la rainure du carter.According to a feature of the invention, the free end of the skirt after crimping is substantially at the inner surface of the groove of the housing.
Cela permet de garantir une bonne étanchéité entre le drain et le carter d'échappement dans lequel il est monté, tout en conservant la planéité de la paroi interne de la rainure de ce carter autour de son orifice d'évacuation.This ensures a good seal between the drain and the exhaust casing in which it is mounted, while maintaining the flatness of the inner wall of the groove of this housing around its discharge port.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le drain est relié au carter par au moins un point de soudure afin de renforcer sa fixation au carter.According to another characteristic of the invention, the drain is connected to the casing by at least one weld point to reinforce its attachment to the housing.
L'invention concerne également une turbomachine, telle qu'un turboréacteur d'avion, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend un carter d'échappement du type décrit ci-dessus.The invention also relates to a turbomachine, such as an aircraft turbojet, characterized in that it comprises an exhaust casing of the type described above.
L'invention concerne encore un drain de carter d'échappement dans une turbomachine, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un corps cylindrique tubulaire prolongé à une extrémité par une jupe cylindrique de sertissage ayant une épaisseur inférieure à celle du corps et prolongeant la surface interne du corps cylindrique.The invention also relates to an exhaust casing drain in a turbomachine, characterized in that it comprises a tubular cylindrical body extended at one end by a cylindrical crimping skirt having a thickness less than that of the body and extending the inner surface of the cylindrical body.

Le montage du drain 24 sur le carter d'échappement 10 consiste notamment à réaliser la soudure 28 puis à retoucher manuellement cette soudure afin d'éliminer les surplus éventuels sur la paroi interne 32 du drain et sur la paroi interne 34 de la rainure 18, et pour former la surface tronconique de la soudure 28. Un tel montage nécessite environ 4 heures de travail.The mounting of the
En fonctionnement, il est fréquent que de faibles quantités d'eau soient piégées dans la rainure 18 de la coque extérieure 14 du carter d'échappement 10. Il se peut qu'un peu de carburant soit également présent dans cette zone, notamment en cas de démarrage avorté de la turbomachine, ou encore de l'huile en cas de fuite sur le circuit correspondant. Le drain 24 permet l'évacuation de ces liquides vers l'extérieur en évitant ainsi les risques liés au gel de ces liquides et à l'incendie.In operation, it is common for small amounts of water to be trapped in the
La présente invention vise à modifier le mode de fixation du drain au carter d'échappement afin d'éviter le recours à une soudure annulaire comme dans l'art antérieur.The present invention aims to change the way of fixing the drain to the exhaust casing to avoid the use of an annular welding as in the prior art.

La partie cylindrique 46, dont le diamètre interne est sensiblement égal au diamètre externe du corps cylindrique 38 du drain 36, forme un chambrage ayant un fond 52 limité par le rebord interne 48 de l'orifice et sur lequel est appliqué le rebord annulaire 44 du drain 36.The
