Description
La présente invention se rapporte à des stators de turbomachines. Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à une architecture de redresseur dans un compresseur axial d'une turbomachine.The present invention relates to turbomachine stators. It relates more particularly to a rectifier architecture in an axial compressor of a turbomachine.
Les compresseurs axiaux sont bien connus en soi et sont utilisés dans plusieurs types d'applications. En particulier, ils sont utilisés dans les turboréacteurs.Axial compressors are well known per se and are used in several types of applications. In particular, they are used in turbojet engines.
Ces compresseurs basse ou haute pression comportent plusieurs étages d'aubes tournantes qui sont séparés par des étages redresseurs qui ont pour but de repositionner le vecteur vitesse du fluide sortant de l'étage précédent avant de l'envoyer vers l'étage suivant.These low or high pressure compressors comprise several stages of rotating blades which are separated by rectifier stages which are intended to reposition the velocity vector of the fluid leaving the preceding stage before sending it to the next stage.
Ces étages redresseurs sont constitués essentiellement d'aubes fixes reliant une virole extérieure à une virole intérieure, toutes deux concentriques et délimitant la zone d'écoulement d'air ou veine aérodynamique.These rectifier stages consist essentially of fixed vanes connecting an outer ferrule to an inner ferrule, both concentric and delimiting the air flow zone or aerodynamic vein.
Deux grands types d'architecture d'assemblage des aubes fixes à la virole extérieure existent. D'une part, l'architecture où la plate-forme de l'aube est rivetée à la virole extérieure du côté opposé à la veine aérodynamique; une telle architecture est illustrée à la
Sauf dans le cas où les aubes sont soudées à la virole extérieure, les contacts entre la plate-forme de l'aube et la virole extérieure peuvent être respectivement de type plan-courbe, courbe-courbe ou plan-plan.Except in the case where the vanes are welded to the outer shell, the contacts between the platform of the blade and the outer shell may be of planar-curve, curve-curve or plane-plane respectively.
L'inconvénient des assemblages de type plan-courbe ou courbe-courbe est que les deux surfaces en contact ne s'épousent pas parfaitement. Dans le cas d'un contact de type plan-courbe, on peut aisément comprendre que les deux surfaces ne s'épousent pas parfaitement. Dans le cas d'un contact de type courbe-courbe, les tolérances de fabrication sont telles que les deux surfaces n'ont pas exactement le même rayon de courbure et, par conséquent, ne s'accommodent pas parfaitement l'une de l'autre.The disadvantage of the planar-curve or curve-curve assemblies is that the two surfaces in contact do not marry perfectly. In the case of a plane-curve type contact, it can be easily understood that the two surfaces do not marry perfectly. In the case of a curve-curve type contact, the manufacturing tolerances are such that the two surfaces do not have exactly the same radius of curvature and, therefore, do not fit perfectly one of the other.
S'il n'y a pas une bonne jonction entre les deux surfaces autour du point de fixation, cela peut induire en cas de vibrations une usure prématurée entre les deux surfaces, appelée « fretting ». Pour éviter ce phénomène, il est nécessaire d'appliquer une précontrainte lors de la fixation de la plate-forme d'aube à la virole.If there is not a good junction between the two surfaces around the point of attachment, it can induce in the event of vibrations premature wear between the two surfaces, called "fretting". To avoid this phenomenon, it is necessary to apply prestressing when attaching the blade platform to the shell.
Un contact de type plan-plan où les deux surfaces s'accommodent parfaitement l'une de l'autre permet de réduire les contraintes induites lors de l'assemblage et d'éviter une instabilité du positionnement de l'aube autour du point de fixation.A plane-plane type contact where the two surfaces fit perfectly with each other makes it possible to reduce the stresses induced during assembly and to avoid instability of the positioning of the blade around the point of attachment. .

Le brevet
Ces larges ouvertures ont pour inconvénient de fragiliser le matériau constituant la virole extérieure. De plus, l'architecture de redresseur divulguée nécessite l'utilisation d'un matériau élastomère pour combler les interstices entre le profil de l'aube et les ouvertures dans la virole extérieure; ceci afin d'obtenir une surface parfaitement lisse du côté de la veine aérodynamique.These large openings have the disadvantage of weakening the material constituting the outer shell. In addition, the disclosed rectifier architecture requires the use of an elastomeric material to fill the interstices between the blade profile and the openings in the outer shell; this in order to obtain a perfectly smooth surface on the side of the aerodynamic vein.

La présente invention concerne une architecture d'assemblage des aubes de redresseur à la virole extérieure dans un turbocompresseur.The present invention relates to an architecture for assembling the stator vanes to the outer ferrule in a turbocharger.
La
Dans la présente invention, la virole extérieure, au lieu d'être une surface courbe continue, est constituée d'une pluralité de facettes planes disposées du côté de la veine aérodynamique; les facettes planes étant juxtaposées.In the present invention, the outer shell, instead of being a continuous curved surface, consists of a plurality of plane facets disposed on the side of the aerodynamic stream; the plane facets being juxtaposed.
Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, la virole extérieure est formée d'une pluralité de facettes planes du côté de la veine aérodynamique et du côté opposé à la veine aérodynamique. Dans ce cas, on parlera d'une virole extérieure constituée d'une pluralité de segments plans, ces derniers étant également juxtaposés.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the outer shell is formed of a plurality of plane facets on the side of the aerodynamic vein and the opposite side to the aerodynamic stream. In this case, we will speak of an outer shell consisting of a plurality of flat segments, the latter being also juxtaposed.
Par la suite, on utilisera indifféremment face interne de la virole extérieure ou du côté de la veine aérodynamique. On utilisera également indifféremment face externe de la virole extérieure ou du côté opposé à la veine aérodynamique.Subsequently, it will be used indifferently inner face of the outer shell or the side of the aerodynamic vein. It will also be used indifferently outer face of the outer shell or the opposite side to the aerodynamic vein.
De préférence, la virole extérieure est en matériau composite et obtenue par une technique de moulage par transfert de résine (Resin Transfer Moulding - RTM).Preferably, the outer shell is made of composite material and obtained by a Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) technique.
Pour établir un contact de type plan-plan entre l'aube et les facettes planes ou segments plans de la virole extérieure, les aubes comportent une plate-forme présentant une surface plane du côté opposé à la pale de l'aube.To establish a plane-plane contact between the blade and the plane facets or plane segments of the outer shell, the blades comprise a platform having a flat surface on the opposite side to the blade of the blade.
Selon l'invention, le contact entre la plateforme de l'aube et les facettes planes ou segments plans de la virole extérieure s'effectue exclusivement du côté de la veine aérodynamique.According to the invention, the contact between the platform of the blade and the plane facets or plane segments of the outer shell is made exclusively on the side of the aerodynamic vein.

Les plate-formes 7 sont disposées côte à côte afin d'offrir une surface continue sans aspérité au flux d'air ce qui permet d'améliorer les performances aérodynamiques par rapport à une configuration soudée où le cordon de soudure débouche dans la veine.The
Les seules ouvertures requises dans la virole extérieure sont celles pour les systèmes de fixation de la plate-forme de l'aube à la face interne de la virole extérieure.The only openings required in the outer shell are those for the attachment systems of the platform of the blade to the inner face of the outer shell.
Selon une forme particulière de réalisation de l'invention, le système de fixation est une attache boulonnée 11 (voir
La
Selon la seconde configuration de la
Selon une autre forme de réalisation présentée à la
En variante, les plate-formes sont fixées au moyen de rivets (non représenté).Alternatively, the platforms are fixed by means of rivets (not shown).
Selon d'autres formes de réalisation, les aubes peuvent être fixées au moyen de systèmes de fixation combinant attaches boulonnées, rivets et "lockbolts".In other embodiments, the vanes can be secured by means of fastening systems that combine bolted fasteners, rivets and "lockbolts".
L'invention présente l'avantage que seulement un ou deux éléments de fixation, à savoir l'attache boulonnée, le rivet ou le "lockbolt", sont requis pour fixer une plate-forme d'aube à une facette plane ou à un segment plan de la virole extérieure.The invention has the advantage that only one or two fasteners, namely the bolted fastener, the rivet or the "lockbolt", are required to attach a blade platform to a flat facet or segment. plan of the outer shell.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention, les plate-formes sont collées à la virole extérieure ou encore la plate-forme de l'aube est assemblée à la virole extérieure par co-moulage ("cocuring" en anglais). Cette dernière technique d'assemblage est basée sur le procédé RTM et consiste à réaliser simultanément les pièces composites (aube et virole extérieure) et la jonction entre les deux pièces.According to another embodiment of the invention, the platforms are glued to the outer shell or the platform of the blade is assembled to the outer shell by co-molding ("cocuring" in English). The latter assembly technique is based on the RTM process and consists in simultaneously making the composite parts (blade and outer shell) and the junction between the two parts.
Le contact plan-plan permet une réduction des contraintes d'assemblage.The plane-plane contact allows a reduction of assembly constraints.
La réduction des contraintes statiques lors de l'assemblage permet l'utilisation de matériaux composites pour la virole extérieure et d'alliages légers ou composites pour les aubes et par conséquent, une réduction de la masse.The reduction of static stresses during assembly allows the use of materials composites for the outer shell and light or composite alloys for the blades and therefore a reduction in mass.
Dans le cadre de la fabrication d'une virole extérieure en composite par la technique de moulage par transfert de résine (RTM), les facettes planes ou segments plans sont directement moulés à cotes finies, ce qui réduit fortement les opérations d'usinage par rapport aux gammes de fabrication de l'état de l'art
Les lignes de jonction entre plate-formes d'aubes ne sont pas parallèles au vecteur vitesse du flux d'air, ce dernier étant de biais par rapport aux lignes de jonction. Ceci a pour avantage de restreindre les lignes de fuite par rapport à une configuration où le vecteur vitesse du flux d'air est parallèle aux lignes de jonction, comme c'est le cas dans l'état de l'art
La présence de plate-formes jointives du côté de la veine aérodynamique permet de réduire la surface de contact entre le flux d'air et la virole extérieure ce qui engendre une réduction de l'érosion de cette dernière.The presence of contiguous platforms on the side of the aerodynamic vein makes it possible to reduce the contact surface between the air flow and the outer shell, which causes a reduction in the erosion of the latter.
De même, la présence de plate-formes jointives assure une bonne étanchéité sans recourir à l'utilisation de matériau élastomère.Similarly, the presence of contiguous platforms ensures a good seal without resorting to the use of elastomeric material.
Les seules ouvertures requises dans la virole extérieure sont celles pour les trous de fixation. Dans le cas d'un assemblage par collage ou co-moulage, la virole extérieure est exempte de toute ouverture.The only openings required in the outer shell are those for the mounting holes. In the case of an assembly by bonding or co-molding, the outer shell is free of any opening.
La suppression des larges ouvertures dans la virole extérieure a pour avantage de ne pas diminuer la résistance structurelle de la virole. Ceci présente plus particulièrement un avantage pour les viroles en composite à fibres longues où les ouvertures dans la virole sectionnent les fibres et diminuent donc particulièrement la résistance mécanique du matériau.The removal of large openings in the outer shell has the advantage of not reducing the structural strength of the shell. This presents more particularly an advantage for the long fiber composite ferrules where the openings in the ferrule sever the fibers and therefore particularly reduce the mechanical strength of the material.
En cas de perte d'aube de soufflante (Fan Blade Out), la suppression des grandes ouvertures et le fait que les plate-formes soient fixées sur la face interne de la virole extérieure permet de confiner l'écrasement des aubes au sein du compresseur basse pression.In case of Fan Blade Out loss, the removal of large openings and the fact that the platforms are fixed on the inner face of the outer shell can confine the crushing of the blades in the compressor. low pressure.
Grâce à ce système d'interface aube/virole extérieure, le montage des aubes est parfaitement interchangeable, c'est-à-dire que la plate-forme et le système de fixation peuvent être identiques tout en ayant des profils ou matériaux d'aubes différents.Thanks to this blade / outer shell interface system, the blade assembly is perfectly interchangeable, that is to say that the platform and the fastening system can be identical while having blade profiles or materials. different.
Le système de fixation étant mécanique, cette solution représente un avantage pour le démontage et remontage des aubes lors d'une réparation, par rapport à une configuration soudée.The fastening system being mechanical, this solution represents an advantage for disassembling and reassembling the blades during a repair, compared to a welded configuration.
