Description
L'invention propose un rotor de turbomachine d'aéronef qui comporte des moyens pour modifier sa vitesse critique, en fonction des conditions de fonctionnement de la turbomachine. La vitesse critique étant définie comme la coïncidence entre les fréquences de rotation et de résonnance du rotor.The invention proposes an aircraft turbomachine rotor which comprises means for modifying its critical speed, as a function of the operating conditions of the turbomachine. The critical speed is defined as the coincidence between the rotational and resonant frequencies of the rotor.
Un organe mobile de turbomachine, tel qu'un rotor de turbomachine, possède une vitesse critique qui lui est propre. Lorsque le rotor tourne à une vitesse de rotation très proche de cette vitesse critique, les vibrations du rotor sont amplifiées, ce qui nuit à l'efficacité de la turbomachine.A movable turbomachine member, such as a turbomachine rotor, has a critical speed of its own. When the rotor rotates at a speed of rotation very close to this critical speed, the vibrations of the rotor are amplified, which affects the efficiency of the turbomachine.
Pour limiter ces vibrations, il est connu de relier le rotor au stator de la turbomachine par des moyens d'amortissement.To limit these vibrations, it is known to connect the rotor to the stator of the turbomachine by damping means.
Il est aussi connu de réduire la période de temps pendant laquelle le rotor tourne à la vitesse de rotation proche de la vitesse critique. Pour cela, les accélérations ou décélérations du rotor sont mises en oeuvre rapidement, ce qui présente l'inconvénient d'appliquer au rotor, ainsi qu'à l'ensemble de la turbomachine, des contraintes mécaniques importantes.It is also known to reduce the period of time during which the rotor rotates at the speed of rotation close to the critical speed. For this, the accelerations or decelerations of the rotor are implemented quickly, which has the disadvantage of applying to the rotor, as well as to the entire turbine engine, significant mechanical stresses.
Ces solutions ne sont que partiellement efficaces, car elles soumettent quand même la turbomachine à des amplitudes de vibrations importantes lorsque le rotor tourne à une vitesse de rotation proche de la vitesse critique du rotor.These solutions are only partially effective because they still subject the turbomachine to large vibration amplitudes when the rotor rotates at a rotation speed close to the critical speed of the rotor.
Le document
Ce document décrit donc des moyens qui nécessitent un organe de commande provoquant le changement de la position angulaire relative des deux structures.This document therefore describes means that require a control member causing the change of the relative angular position of the two structures.
L'invention a pour but de proposer un rotor qui est apte à tourner à une vitesse de rotation qui est toujours différente de la vitesse critique du rotor.The object of the invention is to propose a rotor which is able to rotate at a speed of rotation which is always different from the critical speed of the rotor.
L'invention propose un rotor de turbomachine d'aéronef d'axe principal A, selon la revendication 1, qui comporte des moyens pour modifier la vitesse critique du rotor entre une première vitesse critique et une deuxième vitesse critique selon que la vitesse de rotation du rotor est inférieure ou supérieure à une vitesse de rotation prédéfinie comprise entre la première vitesse critique et la deuxième vitesse critique,

- means for driving the component towards one or the other of its two states as a function of the speed of rotation of the rotor,
La modification de la vitesse critique du rotor de la turbomachine, en fonctionnement, permet de commuter d'une vitesse critique à une autre, lorsque la vitesse de rotation du rotor se rapproche de l'une des vitesses critique.The modification of the critical speed of the rotor of the turbomachine, in operation, makes it possible to switch from one critical speed to another, when the rotational speed of the rotor is approaching one of the critical speeds.

Aussi, la commutation peut être effectuée rapidement.This makes it possible to prevent the rotor from rotating at a speed corresponding to its critical speed, thereby limiting the mechanical stresses in the turbomachine. Also, switching can be done quickly.

On a représenté à la
Il sera compris que l'invention n'est pas limitée à un rotor 10 et que l'invention peut aussi s'appliquer à un autre composant de la turbomachine qui est mobile en rotation, tel que par exemple un arbre de transmission de puissance.It will be understood that the invention is not limited to a
Le rotor 10 comporte un arbre 12 monté mobile en rotation par rapport au stator (non représenté) de la turbomachine autour de l'axe principal A du rotor 10. L'arbre 12 porte une pluralité de composants (non représentés) du rotor 10 tels que par exemple des aubes de compresseur ou des aubes de turbine.The
Lors du fonctionnement de la turbomachine, malgré un équilibrage dynamique du rotor 10, le rotor 10, ainsi que l'arbre 12 vibrent à une fréquence correspondant à la vitesse de rotation.During operation of the turbomachine, despite dynamic balancing of the
L'amplitude de ces vibrations du rotor 10 et de l'arbre 12 dépend de la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10. En particulier, l'amplitude des vibrations augmente lorsque la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 se rapproche d'une vitesse critique du rotor 10. La vitesse critique étant définie comme la coïncidence entre les fréquences de rotation et de résonnance du rotor.The amplitude of these vibrations of the
Cette vitesse critique du rotor 10 dépend de la conception de la turbomachine, elle dépend notamment de la masse des composants du rotor 10, ainsi que de la position des portées de guidage de l'arbre 12 en rotation dans le stator.This critical speed of the
Si le rotor 10 tourne à cette vitesse critique, les vibrations du rotor 10 ont une amplitude importante pouvant endommager le rotor 10 ou le stator.If the
Pour empêcher que le rotor 10 ne tourne à une vitesse de rotation proche de sa vitesse critique, le rotor comporte des moyens 14 permettant de modifier la vitesse critique du rotor 10 lorsque la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 se rapproche de la vitesse critique du rotor 10.To prevent the
Les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique du rotor 10 sont réalisés de manière à changer la vitesse critique du rotor 10 de manière quasiment instantanée, lorsque la vitesse de rotation du rotor devient supérieure à une vitesse de rotation prédéfinie ou lorsque la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 devient inférieure à la vitesse de rotation prédéfinie.The
Les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique forment alors un système dit "bistable", apte à occuper deux états stables de fonctionnement, chaque état stable de fonctionnement étant associé à une plage de vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 supérieure ou inférieure à la vitesse de rotation prédéfinie.The
Cette vitesse de rotation prédéfinie est comprise entre une première vitesse critique dite inférieure, qui est la vitesse critique du rotor 10 lorsque les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique sont dans un premier état, et une deuxième vitesse critique dite supérieure, qui est la vitesse critique du rotor 10 lorsque les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique sont dans leur deuxième état.This predefined rotation speed is between a first so-called lower critical speed, which is the critical speed of the
Aussi, les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique sont conçus pour que lorsque le rotor 10 tourne à une vitesse inférieure à la vitesse de rotation prédéfinie, les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique sont dans leur deuxième état, la vitesse critique du rotor 10 est alors la vitesse critique supérieure. La vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 est alors toujours inférieure à la vitesse critique supérieure définie ci-dessus.Also, the
Par contre, lorsque le rotor 10 tourne à une vitesse supérieure à la vitesse de rotation prédéfinie, les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique sont dans leur premier état, la vitesse critique du rotor 10 est alors la vitesse critique inférieure. La vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 est alors toujours supérieure à sa vitesse critique inférieure définie ci-dessus.On the other hand, when the
Par conséquent, quelle que soit la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10, grâce au changement d'état des moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique, le rotor 10 ne peut pas atteindre une vitesse de rotation correspondant à sa vitesse critique.Therefore, regardless of the rotational speed of the
Pour modifier la vitesse critique du rotor, les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique comportent un composant 16 dont l'état varie selon que les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique sont dans leur premier état ou dans leur deuxième état.To modify the critical speed of the rotor, the
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le composant 16 est un système du type à cage souple inversée, c'est-à-dire que la cage souple est accouplée au rotor 10. Dans un système à cage souple classique, la cage souple est accouplée au stator.According to a preferred embodiment, the
Le changement d'état de la cage souple 16 est réalisé en l'accouplant ou non avec un insert 40. Comme on peut le voir aux figures, l'insert 40 consiste en un élément solidaire du rotor 10, qui est mobile axialement par rapport au rotor 10 et par rapport à la cage souple 16 entre une position d'accouplement avec la cage souple 16 représentée aux
La cage souple 16 est conçue de manière que lorsqu'elle est accouplée avec l'insert 40, des efforts entre le rotor 10 et le stator sont transmis au niveau de la cage souple par la cage souple 16 et des portées de guidage du rotor 10. Ces deux chemins d'efforts créent une raideur de la cage souple 16, ce qui confère au rotor 10 sa vitesse critique supérieure ou inférieure.The
Ainsi, lorsque l'insert 40 est accouplé avec la cage souple 16, les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique sont dans leur deuxième état.Thus, when the
Par contre, lorsque l'insert 40 n'est pas accouplé avec la cage souple 16, les efforts à transmettre au niveau de la cage souple 16 ne peuvent transiter que par la cage souple 16. Ce seul chemin d'efforts créé une souplesse du système, ce qui confère au rotor 10 sa vitesse critique inférieure.On the other hand, when the
Ainsi, lorsque l'insert 40 n'est pas accouplé avec la cage souple 16, les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique sont dans leur premier état.Thus, when the
Comme on peut le voir à la
Les moyens 14 pour modifier la vitesse critique du rotor 10 comportent un dispositif 18 d'entrainement de l'insert 40, qui provoque le déplacement de l'insert 40 entre une position d'accouplement avec la cage souple 16 et une position dans laquelle l'insert n'est pas accouplé avec la cage souple 16 lorsque la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 devient supérieure ou inférieure à la vitesse de rotation prédéfinie.The means 14 for modifying the critical speed of the
Le dispositif d'entrainement 18 de l'insert 40 provoque le déplacement de l'insert 40 sous l'effet de l'action centrifuge. Ainsi, le dispositif d'entrainement 18 n'est relié à aucun dispositif de commande, ce qui permet de simplifier l'intégration des moyens 14 pour modifier la vitesse critique du rotor 10.The
Comme on peut le voir aux figures, le dispositif d'entrainement 18 comporte une cage 20 qui est montée sur l'arbre 12, et un manchon cylindrique 22 qui est relié à l'insert 40.As can be seen in the figures, the
Selon le mode de réalisation représenté aux figures, le manchon cylindrique 22 est monté mobile par rapport à la cage 20 en translation le long de l'axe principal A du rotor 10.According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the
La cage 20 et le manchon 22 sont solidaires de l'arbre 12 en rotation et ils sont traversés par l'axe 12.The
Le manchon cylindrique 22 est apte à occuper, par rapport à la cage 20, une première position représentée à la
Le guidage du manchon cylindrique 22 en déplacement par rapport à la cage 20 est réalisé par une première portée 24 solidaire de la cage 20.The guiding of the
La première portée 24 est reliée au reste de la cage 20 par l'intermédiaire d'une paroi 34 qui s'étend dans un plan radial par rapport à l'axe A.The
Comme on l'a dit précédemment, les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique du rotor 10 ont un caractère bistable, c'est-à-dire qu'ils possèdent deux positions stables de fonctionnement.As mentioned above, the
La transition entre chacune des deux positions stables de fonctionnement des moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique est réalisée par des moyens d'entrainement du manchon cylindrique 22, qui changent la position du manchon 22 lorsque la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 devient supérieure ou inférieure à la vitesse prédéfinie.The transition between each of the two stable operating positions of the
Le caractère bistable des moyens 14 pour modifier la vitesse critique du rotor 10 est en outre renforcé par une paroi 38 de la cage 20 qui est bombée axialement et qui est reliée en son centre au manchon cylindrique 22 par l'intermédiaire d'une deuxième portée 26.The bistable character of the
La deuxième portée 26 est solidaire du manchon cylindrique 22 en translation axialement et la paroi 38 est apte à se déformer élastiquement lors du déplacement axial de son centre.The
De par sa forme bombée, la paroi 38 n'est apte à occuper que deux formes stables représentées aux
Lorsque la paroi 38 est déformée élastiquement autrement que dans ces deux formes stables, elle a naturellement tendance à revenir vers l'une de ces deux formes, dépendant du fait qu'elle est déformée d'un côté ou de l'autre d'un point dur correspondant globalement au point lorsque son centre est à la même cote axiale que son bord radialement externe.When the
Ainsi, lorsque la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 devient supérieure ou inférieure à la vitesse prédéfinie, la paroi 38 entraine très rapidement le manchon cylindrique 22 vers l'une de ses deux positions, de sorte que le manchon 22, et par conséquent l'insert 40, restent très brièvement dans une position axiale intermédiaire.Thus, when the rotational speed of the
La paroi bombée 38 confère aux moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique du rotor 10 un caractère discontinu.The
Le dispositif d'actionnement 18 est conçu pour entraîner le manchon cylindrique 22 en déplacement axial pour que la deuxième portée 26 franchisse ce point dit dur lorsque la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 devient égale à la vitesse de rotation prédéfinie pour laquelle les moyens 14 pour modifier la vitesse critique du rotor 10 changent d'état.The
Les moyens de solidarisation de la deuxième portée 26 avec le manchon cylindrique 22, en déplacement axial par rapport à la cage 20 comportent un épaulement 28 du manchon cylindrique 22 qui est en appui dans un premier sens, ici vers la gauche, contre une extrémité axiale en vis-à-vis de la deuxième portée 26. L'épaulement 28 est ici situé à une extrémité 22a du manchon cylindrique située la plus proche du composant 16.The securing means of the
Les moyens de solidarisation de la deuxième portée 26 avec le manchon cylindrique 22 comportent aussi des moyens élastiques qui exercent en permanence un effort d'appui de la deuxième portée 26 contre l'épaulement 28 dans le deuxième sens, c'est-à-dire ici vers la droite.The securing means of the
Ces moyens élastiques 30 exercent en outre une action permanente d'entraînement de la deuxième portée 26 vers la position stable de la paroi bombée 38 représentée aux
Ici, les moyens élastiques 30 consistent en un ressort de compression qui est comprimé entre les deux portées 24, 26.Here, the elastic means 30 consist of a compression spring which is compressed between the two bearing
Le dispositif d'actionnement 18 comporte des moyens d'entraînement du manchon cylindrique 22 en déplacement axial vers sa deuxième position représentée à la
Ces moyens d'entraînement sont du type à effet centrifuge, c'est-à-dire qu'ils comportent au moins un élément 32 mobile radialement par rapport à l'axe A, qui se déplace radialement en s'éloignant de l'axe A au fur et à mesure que la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 augmente, par effet centrifuge.These drive means are of the centrifugal effect type, that is to say that they comprise at least one
Ici, les moyens d'entraînement comportent plusieurs éléments mobiles 32, qui consistent en des billes interposées axialement entre la paroi radiale 34 qui porte la première portée 24, et une portion de révolution 36 portée par la deuxième extrémité 22b du manchon cylindrique 22.Here, the drive means comprise several moving
Cette portion de révolution 36 s'étend radialement vers l'extérieur à partir de la deuxième extrémité 22b du manchon cylindrique 22 et elle comporte une face d'appui 36a située en vis-à-vis d'une face d'appui 34a de la paroi radiale 34 qui porte la première portée 24, sur laquelle les billes 32 sont en appui axialement.This portion of
Les faces d'appui en vis-à-vis 36a, 34a de la portion de révolution 36 et de la paroi radiale 34 sont inclinées l'une par rapport à l'autre, c'est-à-dire qu'au moins une de ces deux faces d'appui 36a, 34a est de forme conique, et la distance entre les faces d'appui 36a, 34a diminue en s'éloignant de l'axe principal A.The facing faces 36a, 34a of the
De ce fait, lorsque les billes 32 se déplacent radialement vers l'extérieur, en s'éloignant de l'axe principal A, elles s'appuient contre les faces d'appui 34a, 36a et provoquent un déplacement du manchon cylindrique 22 par rapport à la cage 20 vers sa deuxième position.As a result, when the
En se déplaçant, le manchon cylindrique 22 entraîne la deuxième portée 26 et provoque la déformation élastique de la paroi bombée 38.By moving, the
L'angle défini par les faces d'appui 34a, 36a, les dimensions et la masse des billes 32, ainsi que les dimensions du ressort 30 sont définies en fonction de la vitesse de rotation prédéfinie.The angle defined by the bearing faces 34a, 36a, the dimensions and the mass of the
Lorsque le rotor 10 tourne à cette vitesse de rotation prédéfinie, ou à une vitesse de rotation supérieure, l'effort d'appui des billes 32 sur les parois 34a, 36a en vis-à-vis est supérieur à l'effort exercé par le ressort de rappel 30 et par la paroi bombée 38. Le manchon cylindrique 22 est alors entrainé axialement vers sa deuxième position, provoquant un changement d'état de la paroi bombée 38.When the
Lorsque la paroi bombée 38 change d'état, l'effort élastique de rappel qu'elle exerce change de direction, la paroi bombée 38 coopère alors avec les moyens d'entraînement centrifuge pour entraîner le manchon cylindrique 22, à l'encontre de l'effort de rappel exercé par le ressort 30.When the
Ainsi, lorsque le rotor 10 tourne à une vitesse de rotation supérieure à la vitesse de rotation prédéfinie, qui est, comme on l'a dit précédemment, supérieure à la vitesse critique inférieure du rotor 10, le manchon cylindrique 22 est entrainé vers sa deuxième position pour laquelle l'insert 40 n'est pas accouplé avec la cage souple 16 qui est donc dans son état avec jeux. Les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique sont dans leur premier état, associé à la vitesse critique basse du rotor 10.Thus, when the
Par conséquent, le rotor 10 tourne à une vitesse supérieure à la vitesse critique du rotor 10.Consequently, the
Par contre, lorsque la vitesse de rotation du rotor 10 devient inférieure à cette vitesse de rotation prédéfinie, l'effort exercé par le ressort de rappel 30 est supérieur à l'effort exercé par les billes 32 sur les parois 34a, 36a en vis-à-vis et par l'effort de rappel de la paroi bombée 38. Le manchon cylindrique 22 est alors entraîné par le ressort 30 et la paroi bombée 38 vers sa position représentée aux
Ainsi, lorsque le rotor 10 tourne à une vitesse de rotation inférieure à la vitesse de rotation prédéfinie, qui est, comme on l'a dit précédemment, inférieure à la vitesse critique supérieure du rotor 10, le manchon cylindrique 22 est entrainé vers sa position pour laquelle l'insert 40 est accouplé avec la cage souple 16 qui est donc dans son état sans jeux. Les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique sont dans leur deuxième état, associé à la vitesse critique supérieure du rotor 10.Thus, when the
Par conséquent, le rotor 10 tourne à une vitesse de rotation inférieure à la vitesse critique du rotor 10.Consequently, the
La combinaison des moyens d'entrainement par action centrifuge avec la déformation rapide de la paroi bombée 38 permet d'entraîner rapidement le manchon cylindrique 22 vers sa position représentée à la
Le rotor 10 compote aussi des paliers de guidage 42, qui sont ici au nombre de trois, et qui réalisent le guidage en rotation de l'arbre 12, des moyens 14 pour modifier la vitesse critique du rotor 10, et de la cage souple 16.The
Un premier palier 42 est agencé au niveau d'une partie amont de l'arbre 12, selon le sens d'écoulement des gaz dans la turbomachine, ici du côté droit des figures. Ce premier palier 42 est situé au niveau du carter d'entrée de la turbomachine.A
Les deux autres paliers 42 sont agencés de part et d'autre d'une turbine basse pression de la turbomachine.The two
Le deuxième palier 42, qui est agencé au niveau d'une partie aval de l'arbre 12. Est relié à un carter d'échappement de la turbine basse pression.The
Le troisième palier 42, qui est situé entre les deux autres paliers 42, est relié à la cage souple 16 et est relié à un carter inter-turbines.The
Selon une variante de réalisation, le composant 16 est une masse mobile, qui peut être sélectivement accouplée ou non à l'arbre 12 par l'intermédiaire des moyens 14 de modification de vitesse critique ou qui peut être déplacée axialement par les moyens 14 de modification de la vitesse critique.According to an alternative embodiment, the
Le changement d'état de la masse mobile 16 consiste alors en un accouplement sélectif, ou un déplacement de la masse mobile 16, et permet de modifier la vitesse critique du rotor 10 comme décrit précédemment.The change of state of the
