Description
Cône d'éjection pour turboréacteur d'aéronef Ejection cone for an aircraft turbojet engine
La présente invention se rapporte à un cône d'éjection pour turboréacteur d'aéronef. The present invention relates to an ejection cone for an aircraft turbojet engine.
Comme cela est connu en soi, il convient en général de prévoir un ensemble cône d'éjection / tuyère primaire à l'arrière d'un turboréacteur d'aéronef, afin d'une part d'optimiser l'écoulement des gaz chauds expulsés par le turboréacteur, et d'autre part d'absorber au moins une partie du bruit engendré par l'interaction de ces gaz chauds avec l'air ambiant et avec le flux d'air froid expulsé par la soufflante du turboréacteur. As is known per se, it is generally necessary to provide a set of ejection cone / primary nozzle at the rear of an aircraft turbojet, in order firstly to optimize the flow of hot gases expelled by the turbojet, and secondly to absorb at least a portion of the noise generated by the interaction of these hot gases with the ambient air and with the flow of cold air expelled by the fan of the turbojet engine.
Ces éléments sont couramment désignés par les termes anglo- saxons « plug » pour le cône d'éjection et « nozzle » ou « pirmary nozzle » pour la tuyère. These elements are commonly referred to by the Anglo-Saxon terms "plug" for the ejection cone and "nozzle" or "pirmary nozzle" for the nozzle.
Un tel cône d'éjection classique 1 est représenté à la figure 1 ci- annexée, sur laquelle l'avant et l'arrière de la structure suivant un axe moteur sont situés respectivement à gauche et à droite de la figure. Such a conventional ejection cone 1 is shown in Figure 1 appended hereto, in which the front and the rear of the structure along a motor axis are respectively located on the left and right of the figure.
Ce cône d'éjection est destiné à être positionné en aval de la turbine du turboréacteur, par-dessus lequel la tuyère primaire est placée concentriquement. Le cône d'éjection et la tuyère primaire sont tous deux fixés sur un carter du turboréacteur par un système de fixation par brides. This ejection cone is intended to be positioned downstream of the turbine of the turbojet, over which the primary nozzle is placed concentrically. The ejection cone and the primary nozzle are both attached to a turbojet casing by a flange fastening system.
Plus précisément, le cône d'éjection 1 comprend, à proprement parler, une partie avant 5 (couramment désignée sous le terme « front plug »), de forme sensiblement cyl indrique, et une partie arrière 7 (couramment désignée sous le terme « rear plug »), de forme conique. More specifically, the ejection cone 1 comprises, strictly speaking, a front portion 5 (commonly referred to as "front plug"), of substantially cylindrical shape, and a rear portion 7 (commonly referred to as "rear"). plug "), of conical shape.
La partie avant 5 peut être notamment acoustique ou monolithique raidie. The front portion 5 may be especially acoustic or monolithic stiffened.
Dans le cas où la partie avant 5 est acoustique, cela signifie qu'elle comprend au moins une structure d'atténuation acoustique périphérique de type sandwich comprenant au moins un résonateur, notamment de type nid d'abeille, recouvert d'une peau externe perforée et d'une peau interne pleine. In the case where the front part 5 is acoustic, it means that it comprises at least one peripheral acoustic attenuation structure of the sandwich type comprising at least one resonator, in particular of honeycomb type, covered with a perforated outer skin and a full inner skin.
La peau externe constitue par ailleurs une surface externe (tôle) de la partie avant 5 du cône d'éjection. The outer skin also constitutes an outer surface (sheet) of the front portion 5 of the ejection cone.
Dans le cas où la partie avant 5 est monolithique raidie, cela signifie que la structure est constituée d'une unique tôle renforcée par des raidisseurs. In the case where the front portion 5 is monolithic stiffened, this means that the structure consists of a single sheet reinforced by stiffeners.
La partie arrière 7 est monolithique raidie par des raidisseurs 9d.
La partie avant 5 et la partie arrière 7 du cône d'éjection pourront notamment être réalisées à partir de tôles en alliage métallique de type Inconel 625 et être assemblées par un système de jonction par bride notée 9b pour la partie bride avant et 9c pour la partie bride arrière. The rear portion 7 is monolithic stiffened by 9d stiffeners. The front part 5 and the rear part 7 of the ejection cone may in particular be made from Inconel 625 type metal alloy sheets and be assembled by a flange connection system denoted 9b for the front flange part and 9c for the front flange part. rear flange part.
La partie avant 5 comprend en outre une bride de liaison amont 9a destinée à permettre son rattachement à l'arrière du turboréacteur. The front portion 5 further comprises an upstream connecting flange 9a to allow its attachment to the rear of the turbojet engine.
En se reportant à la figure 2, on peut voir que, classiquement, la bride 9b de la partie avant 5 présente d'une part une partie 1 1 de diamètre sensiblement égal à celui de la peau externe de cette partie avant 5, et d'autre part une partie 13 de diamètre inférieur à celui de la bride 9c de la partie arrière 7 à laquelle elle est destinée à être liée, de sorte que cette partie 13 de la bride 9b peut s'insérer à l'intérieur de la bride 9c de la partie arrière 7. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that, conventionally, the flange 9b of the front portion 5 has on the one hand a portion 1 1 of diameter substantially equal to that of the outer skin of this front portion 5, and on the other hand a portion 13 of smaller diameter than that of the flange 9c of the rear portion 7 to which it is intended to be bonded, so that this portion 13 of the flange 9b can be inserted inside the flange 9c of the rear part 7.
Des logements 15 formés dans l'épaisseur de la bride 9c permettent d'accueillir des boulons 17 traversant cette bride 9c et la bride 9b, fixés au moyen d'écrous 18 rapportés par l'intérieur du cône d'éjection 1 ainsi assemblé. Housing 15 formed in the thickness of the flange 9c can accommodate bolts 17 passing through the flange 9c and the flange 9b, fixed by means of nuts 18 attached by the interior of the ejection cone 1 thus assembled.
Les logements 15 permettent d'éviter que les têtes 19 des boulons 1 7 ne soient protubérantes vers l'extérieur du cône 1 , et ne provoquent ainsi des pertes aérodynamiques. The housings 15 prevent the heads 19 of the bolts 1 7 are protruding outwardly of the cone 1, and thus cause aerodynamic losses.
Comme on peut le comprendre à la lumière de ce qui précède, un cône d'éjection de la tech n iq ue antérieure (figure 2) est u ne structure compl exe, fa isant i nterven i r d e nom breu ses pièces, et dont l e coût de fabrication est élevé et impacte la masse de l'ensemble, ce qui n'est pas souhaitable. As can be understood in the light of the foregoing, an ejection cone of the prior art (FIG. 2) is a complete structure, making it possible to reduce its parts, and the cost of which manufacturing is high and impacts the mass of the assembly, which is undesirable.
La présente invention a notamment pour but de simplifier l'assemblage partie avant et partie arrière du cône d'éjection afin d'en abaisser tant la masse que le coût de fabrication. The present invention is intended in particular to simplify the assembly of the front portion and rear portion of the ejection cone in order to lower both the mass and the cost of manufacture.
On atteint notamment ce but de l'invention avec un cône d'éjection pour turboréacteur d'aéronef comportant une partie avant destinée à être rattach ée à u n e partie a rrière possédant chacu ne u ne peau externe, caractérisé en ce que la partie avant et la partie arrière sont liées par une au moins une bride de l iaison commune à ces deux parties et sur laquelle les peaux externes sont accostées bord-à-bord. This object of the invention is particularly achieved with an aircraft jet engine ejection cone comprising a front part intended to be attached to a rear part having each outer skin, characterized in that the front part and the rear part are connected by at least one flange of the joint common to these two parts and on which the outer skins are approached edge-to-edge.
La bride de liaison commune, similaire à un raidisseur, pourra être réalisée en un ou plusieurs secteurs périphériques.
Grâce à ces caractéristiques, il suffit d'une unique bride pour relier entre elles les parties avant et arrière de cône, contre deux brides distinctes dans l'état de la technique, ce qui permet de gagner en masse et en coût de fabrication. The common connecting flange, similar to a stiffener, may be made in one or more peripheral sectors. Thanks to these characteristics, a single flange is sufficient to connect the front and rear cone parts to each other, against two separate flanges in the state of the art, which makes it possible to gain in mass and cost of manufacture.
De plus, le fait que les peaux externes des parties avant et arrière soient simplement accostées bord-à-bord sur la bride, permet de réduire les problèmes d'accostage de la technique antérieure liés notamment aux tolérances de fabrication notamment des brides. In addition, the fact that the outer skins of the front and rear parts are simply docked edge-to-edge on the flange, reduces the docking problems of the prior art related in particular to manufacturing tolerances including flanges.
Suivant d'autres caractéristiques complémentaires de la présente invention : According to other complementary features of the present invention:
- la peau externe de ladite partie avant est rapportée par brasage sur ladite bride ; the outer skin of said front portion is soldered onto said flange;
- la peau externe de ladite partie arrière est fixée sur ladite bride au moyen de bou lons et d 'écrous : cette solution de fixation permet un montage/démontage très simple de la partie arrière par rapport à la partie avant ; - The outer skin of said rear portion is fixed on said flange by means of bolts and nuts: this fixing solution allows a very simple assembly / disassembly of the rear portion relative to the front portion;
- aucun logement des têtes desdits boulons n'est prévu dans la peau externe du cône arrière ni dans la bride : de la sorte, les têtes des boulons dépassent vers l'extérieur du cône d'éjection ; on tolère une légère dégradation aérodynamique provoquée par un tel dépassement, au profit d'une pl us grande simpl icité de fabrication des pièces (pas d'emboutissage nécessaire pour fabriquer les logements), d'un montage plus aisé (les têtes des boulons sont plus facilement accessibles), et d'un gain de masse (il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir des surépaisseurs dans les pièces, si on ne prévoit pas de logements) ; no housing of the heads of said bolts is provided in the outer skin of the rear cone or in the flange: in this way, the heads of the bolts protrude outwardly of the ejection cone; we tolerate a slight aerodynamic degradation caused by such an overrun, in favor of a greater simplicity of manufacturing parts (no stamping necessary to manufacture the housing), an easier assembly (the heads of the bolts are more easily accessible), and a gain in mass (it is not necessary to provide extra thicknesses in the rooms, if no housing is planned);
- ladite bride comporte au moins un bord tombé de renfort ; said flange comprises at least one flanged edge of reinforcement;
- ladite bride est formée en tôle pliée ou emboutie ; said flange is formed of folded or pressed sheet metal;
- lesdites peaux externes sont en alliage métallique tel que l'Inconel 625. Bien évidemment d'autres matériaux adaptés peuvent être choisis. said outer skins are made of a metal alloy such as Inconel 625. Of course, other suitable materials may be chosen.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lumière de la description qui va suivre, et à l'examen des figures ci-annexées, dans lesquelles : Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge in the light of the description which follows, and on examining the appended figures, in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective et en coupe axiale d'un cône d'éjection de la technique antérieure, mentionnée dans le préambule de la présente description, FIG. 1 is a perspective view in axial section of an ejection cone of the prior art, mentioned in the preamble of the present description,
- la figure 2 est une vue de détail de la zone II de la figure 1 , et
- la figure 3 est une vue analogue à celle de la figure 2, d'un cône d'éjection selon la présente invention. FIG. 2 is a detailed view of zone II of FIG. 1, and - Figure 3 is a view similar to that of Figure 2, an ejection cone according to the present invention.
Sur l'ensemble de ces figures, des références identiques désignent des organes ou ensembles d'organe identiques ou analogues. In all of these figures, identical references denote identical or similar organs or groups of members.
En se reportant à la figure 3, on peut voir que la partie avant 5 du cône d'éjection selon la présente invention comporte à son extrémité une partie 27 pleine (non perforée) de peau externe 21 . Cette partie 27 de peau externe 21 constitue une extension de la peau externe 21 normalement perforée et constitutive de la structure d'atténuation acoustique avec le nid d'abeille 23 et la peau pleine interne 5, assurant un traitement acoustique au cône d'éjection. With reference to FIG. 3, it can be seen that the front part 5 of the ejection cone according to the present invention comprises at its end a portion 27 (not perforated) of external skin 21. This portion 27 of outer skin 21 is an extension of the outer skin 21 normally perforated and constitutive of the acoustic attenuation structure with the honeycomb 23 and the inner solid skin 5, providing acoustic treatment to the ejection cone.
On peut voir q ue la structure acoustique 23 s'interrompt à une certaine distance c/ du bord aval 25 de la peau externe 21 , et plus précisément de sa partie pleine 27, laissant ainsi l ibre la face intérieure de cette partie pleine 27. It can be seen that the acoustic structure 23 stops at a certain distance c / from the downstream edge 25 of the outer skin 21, and more precisely from its solid part 27, thereby leaving the inner face of this solid portion 27 free.
La peau externe 29 de la partie arrière 7 est quant à elle disposée bord à bord avec le bord aval 25 de la peau externe 21 de la partie avant de cône 5. The outer skin 29 of the rear portion 7 is in turn disposed edge to edge with the downstream edge 25 of the outer skin 21 of the front part of the cone 5.
Une bride métallique 31 , présentant de préférence sensiblement la forme d'un tronc de cône de révolution , réal ise la liaison entre les peaux externes 21 et 29 des parties avant 5 et arrière 7 du cône d'éjection. A metal flange 31, preferably having substantially the shape of a truncated cone of revolution, realizes the connection between the outer skins 21 and 29 of the front 5 and rear 7 parts of the ejection cone.
De préférence, comme cela est visible à la figure 3, la bride 31 peut comporter un bord tombé 33, par exemple sur sa partie amont, afin d'en accroître la rigidité. Preferably, as can be seen in FIG. 3, the flange 31 may comprise a fallen edge 33, for example on its upstream part, in order to increase its rigidity.
La bride 31 peut être obtenue au moyen d'une tôle pliée ou emboutie. The flange 31 may be obtained by means of a folded or stamped sheet.
A noter que cette bride peut être formée d'un seul tenant sur toute la périphérie du cône d'éjection, ou bien en plusieurs secteurs disposés dans le prolongement les uns des autres. Note that this flange can be formed in one piece over the entire periphery of the ejection cone, or in several sectors arranged in the extension of each other.
L'alliage métallique à partir duquel les peaux externes 21 et 29 ainsi que la bride 31 sont réalisées peut être de l'Inconel 625, couramment utilisé dans l'industrie aéronautique, sans que cela doit bien entendu limitatif. The metal alloy from which the outer skins 21 and 29 and the flange 31 are made may be Inconel 625, commonly used in the aviation industry, without this of course limiting.
La fixation de la peau externe 21 de la partie avant 5 sur la bride 31 peut être réalisée par brasage ou soudage. Fixing the outer skin 21 of the front portion 5 of the flange 31 can be performed by soldering or welding.
La fixation de la peau externe 29 de la partie arrière 7 sur la bride 31 pourra quant à elle être réalisée de manière démontable, de préférence au moyen de boulons 17 traversant les orifices ménagés dans cette peau externe
29 et cette bride 31 , des écrous 18 étant disposés à l'intrados de la bride 31 de manière à retenir ces boulons 17. Fixing the outer skin 29 of the rear portion 7 of the flange 31 may itself be performed in a removable manner, preferably by means of bolts 17 passing through the orifices formed in this outer skin 29 and this flange 31, nuts 18 being disposed on the underside of the flange 31 so as to retain these bolts 17.
Contrairement à l'état de la technique visible notamment à la figure 2, on laisse dépasser les têtes 19 des boulons 17 de la surface définie par la peau externe 29. Unlike the state of the art visible in particular in Figure 2, it allows to exceed the heads 19 of the bolts 17 of the surface defined by the outer skin 29.
On considère en effet que les pertes aérodynamiques créées par ces têtes 19 sont acceptables eu égard aux autres avantages procurés par cet agencement, à savoir entre autres : absence de nécessité de réaliser des logements pour les têtes 19 dans la peau externe 29 et dans la bride 31 , ce qui permet une plus grande simplicité de fabrication des pièces (pas d'emboutissage nécessaire pour fabriquer les logements), un montage plus aisé (les têtes 19 des boulons 17 sont plus facilement accessibles), et un gain de masse (il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir des surépaisseurs dans la peau externe 29 et dans la bride 31 , si on ne prévoit pas de logements). It is considered in fact that the aerodynamic losses created by these heads 19 are acceptable with regard to the other advantages provided by this arrangement, namely inter alia: no need to provide housing for the heads 19 in the outer skin 29 and in the flange 31, which allows a greater simplicity of manufacture of the parts (no stamping necessary to manufacture the housing), an easier assembly (the heads 19 of the bolts 17 are more easily accessible), and a gain of mass (it n it is not necessary to provide extra thickness in the outer skin 29 and in the flange 31, if no housing is provided).
On notera qu'avec cette disposition particulière, il est très facile de monter et démonter la partie arrière 7 par rapport à la partie avant 5. Note that with this particular arrangement, it is very easy to assemble and disassemble the rear portion 7 with respect to the front portion 5.
On réduit en outre les problèmes d'accostage liés aux tolérances respectives des brides 9b et 9c des parties avant 5 et arrière 7 du cône d'éjection de la technique antérieure. In addition, the docking problems related to the respective tolerances of the flanges 9b and 9c of the front and rear portions 7 of the prior art ejection cone are reduced.
On a représenté sur la figure 3 un seul boulon 17, mais il faut bien entendu comprendre qu'une pluralité de ces boulons est répartie à intervalles régul iers ou non sur toute la périphérie de la peau externe 29 de la partie arrière de cône 7. There is shown in Figure 3 a single bolt 17, but it should of course be understood that a plurality of these bolts is distributed at regular intervals or not over the entire periphery of the outer skin 29 of the rear portion of cone 7.
Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés.
Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown.
