Le système d'injection 70 comprend ainsi une douille 52 destinée à recevoir un nez d'injection de carburant, les vrilles d'admission d'air 100, 200, et un bol 60. Les vrilles d'admission d'air 100, 200 sont destinées à l'injection d'un flux d'air tourbillonnant dans deux espaces annulaires internes du système d'injection séparés l'un de l'autre par une paroi annulaire de déflection interne 62 ayant un profil interne de forme convergente-divergente, également dénommée « venturi », comme expliqué ci-dessus en relation avec le système d'injection 42 de type connu.The
La première vrille d'admission d'air 100, également dénommée « vrille interne », comporte une paroi amont 102 et une paroi aval 104 qui sont toutes les deux de révolution autour d'un axe de la vrille qui se confond avec l'axe d'injection 44 du système d'injection. La première vrille d'admission d'air 100 comporte en outre des ailettes 106 réparties autour de l'axe 44 et reliant la paroi amont 102 à la paroi aval 104 de manière à délimiter entre les parois amont et aval des canaux d'entrée d'air 108. Chaque canal d'entrée d'air 108 présente une entrée 110 agencée d'un côté radialement externe et une sortie 112 agencée d'un côté radialement interne. Plus précisément, chaque entrée 110 est délimitée entre des extrémités radialement externes respectives des deux ailettes 106 consécutives qui délimitent le canal d'entrée d'air 108 correspondant. De manière analogue, chaque sortie 112 est délimitée entre des extrémités radialement internes respectives des deux ailettes 106 consécutives qui délimitent le canal d'entrée d'air 108 correspondant.The first
Selon cet exemple, la première vrille d'admission d'air 100 comporte en outre un déflecteur aérodynamique 120 qui prolonge la paroi aval 104 radialement vers l'extérieur jusqu'à une extrémité libre 122 du déflecteur aérodynamique 120. Ce dernier présente une concavité tournée vers l'amont. Le déflecteur aérodynamique 120 s'étend ainsi en regard radialement des entrées 110 respectives des canaux d'entrée d'air 108. L'extrémité libre 122 du déflecteur aérodynamique 120 est donc orientée globalement en direction de l'amont et délimite une section d'entrée d'air de la première vrille d'admission d'air 100.According to this example, the first
D'une manière générale, le déflecteur aérodynamique 120 permet ainsi de canaliser le flux d'air F1 entrant dans les canaux d'entrée d'air 108 et donc de limiter au mieux les pertes de charges de ce flux d'air.In general, the
Dans le système illustré sur les
Dans l'exemple illustré, les parois amont 102 et aval 104 de la première vrille d'admission d'air 100 s'étendent orthogonalement à l'axe 44.

En variante encore, le déflecteur aérodynamique 120 peut être constitué d'une succession de sections axiales de forme tronconique, ayant des angles au sommet respectifs d'autant plus petits que la section axiale considérée est éloignée de la paroi aval 104. Autrement dit, le déflecteur aérodynamique 120 peut présenter une courbure segmentée au lieu d'une courbure continue, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.As a further variant, the
Par ailleurs, dans l'exemple illustré, le déflecteur aérodynamique 120 est conformé de sorte qu'en chaque point de son extrémité libre 122, un plan circonférentiel P1 tangent à un bord radialement interne 124 de l'extrémité libre 122 est parallèle à l'axe 44 de la première vrille d'admission d'air 100.Furthermore, in the example illustrated, the

En variante, le premier déflecteur aérodynamique 120 peut présenter une forme irrégulière autour de l'axe 44 de manière à adapter l'étendue radiale S1 de la section d'entrée d'air aux irrégularités de pression du flux d'air 46 issu du diffuseur 49 de la turbomachine, comme cela apparaîtra plus clairement dans ce qui suit.According to the invention, at least one of the respective aerodynamic deflectors (120,220) of the first and second air intake swirls (100,200) is shaped so that the radial extent (S1, S2) of the inlet section d The air from the corresponding air intake swirl varies around the axis (44). As a variant, the first

En particulier, la deuxième vrille d'admission d'air 200, également dénommée « vrille externe », comporte une paroi amont 202, qui est la paroi aval 104 de la première vrille d'admission d'air 100, et une paroi aval 204. Les deux parois 202, 204 sont de révolution autour de l'axe de la vrille 200 qui se confond avec l'axe d'injection 44 du système d'injection. La deuxième vrille d'admission d'air 200 comporte en outre des ailettes 206 réparties autour de l'axe 44 et reliant la paroi amont 202 à la paroi aval 204 de manière à délimiter entre les parois amont et aval des canaux d'entrée d'air 208. Chaque canal d'entrée d'air 208 présente une entrée 210 agencée d'un côté radialement externe et une sortie 212 agencée d'un côté radialement interne. Plus précisément, chaque entrée 210 est délimitée entre des extrémités radialement externes respectives des deux ailettes 206 consécutives qui délimitent le canal d'entrée d'air 208 correspondant. De manière analogue, chaque sortie 212 est délimitée entre des extrémités radialement internes respectives des deux ailettes 206 consécutives qui délimitent le canal d'entrée d'air 208 correspondant.In particular, the second
De plus, la deuxième vrille d'admission d'air 200 comporte un déflecteur aérodynamique 220 qui prolonge la paroi aval 204 radialement vers l'extérieur jusqu'à une extrémité libre 222 du déflecteur aérodynamique 220 orientée globalement en direction de l'amont et délimitant une section d'entrée d'air de la deuxième vrille d'admission d'air 200.In addition, the second

Les évidements 126A du déflecteur aérodynamique 120A de la première vrille d'admission d'air 100A permettent ainsi de laisser passer un surcroît d'air en direction de la deuxième vrille d'admission d'air 200A.The

D'une manière générale, la variabilité de l'étendue radiale de la section d'entrée d'air de l'une au moins des vrilles d'admission d'air permet d'optimiser l'homogénéité de l'alimentation en air de cette vrille eu égard à divers paramètres de conception de la turbomachine, dont en particulier l'hétérogénéité éventuelle de l'écoulement en sortie de compresseur 16, le sillage induit par le bras d'injecteur 55 dans le flux d'air alimentant le système d'injection 70B, et l'influence du carénage annulaire de protection 45 sur le flux d'air précité.In general, the variability of the radial extent of the air inlet section of at least one of the air inlet swirlers makes it possible to optimize the homogeneity of the air supply of the air inlet. this spin having regard to various design parameters of the turbomachine, including in particular the possible heterogeneity of the flow at the outlet of
