Definitions
- the present invention relates to an annular casting and shrink-wrapped part of an aircraft turbomachine.
- the state of the art includes in particular the documents EP-A1-3 048 270 , WO-A1-2016 / 051080 and EP-B1-1 931 859 .
- An aircraft turbomachine comprises several annular parts, such as, for example, casings, abradable coating supports, etc., which are coaxial and extend around the longitudinal axis of the turbomachine, which is generally coincident with the axis of rotation of its main rotor or of its main rotors.
- the abradable housings and supports must be well centered and sealed against each other. For this, they are mounted hooped with each other. This is particularly important for abradable mounts which provide a seal between moving and stationary parts of the engine.
- a turbomachine can be made by foundry.
- the foundry operation requires the presence of specific protruding studs on the parts which have a dual function. These studs first serve as a reference for checking the part after manufacture, and also serve during the manufacture of the part. These studs must therefore be kept during the life of the part. They are however relatively bulky and should ideally be located on the workpiece flange to meet the needs of the foundry.
- one of the shrink-wrapped flanges must include extraction sleeves as well as notches for the passage of extraction sleeves from another flange on which this flange is shrunk.
- the present invention provides a simple, efficient and economical solution to this problem.
- the invention relates to a part for a turbomachine, this part having a general annular shape around an axis of revolution, this part comprising a first annular flange for fixing by shrinking and comprising an annular row of screw holes, this part part being produced by foundry and comprising projecting studs necessary for the control and production of the part by casting, characterized in that said studs are located on said flange and each comprise a tapping configured to cooperate with an extraction screw of the flange.
- the invention is advantageous because it makes it possible to integrate the function of the extraction bushings of the prior art into the foundry pads.
- the part therefore does not need extraction bushings strictly speaking, which frees space on its fixing flange by shrinking.
- the pads thus have a dual function.
- the invention also relates to an assembly comprising a part as described above, and a first annular element extending around said axis, the first flange of the part being shrunk and applied axially against a second annular flange of this first element of so that the threads of said studs are aligned with through holes of the second flange, these holes having a diameter smaller than that of said threads.
- the present invention also relates to an aircraft turbomachine, comprising a part or an assembly as described above.
- the extraction screw used in step c) may include the stopper and an extension having a predetermined length L1 which is configured to pass through the threads and part of the holes.
- the stopper and the extension have a total predetermined length L2.
- the figure 1 is a partial schematic view of a turbomachine and more exactly of a rear or downstream portion of the turbomachine, the upstream and downstream expressions taking account of the flow of gases in the turbomachine.
- the gases flow from a fan inside a nacelle towards the interior and around a gas generator which successively comprises low pressure and high pressure compressors, a combustion chamber, high pressure and low pressure turbines, and a gas ejection nozzle.
- references 10, 12 and 14 respectively denote an annular abradable coating support, an annular bearing support, and an internal casing of the high pressure turbine.
- the support 10 has a generally cylindrical shape in the example shown and carries an abradable annular coating 16 at its downstream end.
- the support 10 comprises at its upstream end a first flange 18.
- the flange 18 comprises two radial faces, respectively upstream 18a and downstream 18b, and a radially internal cylindrical surface 18c for shrinking.
- the face 18a and the surface 18c are connected to each other.
- the support 12 has a generally frustoconical shape flared upstream in the example shown, and is here surrounded by the support 10. It comprises at its upstream end a second flange 20.
- the flange 20 comprises two radial faces, respectively upstream 20a. and downstream support 20b, as well as two cylindrical bearing surfaces, respectively upstream 20c and downstream 20d, for shrinking.
- the face 20a and the bearing 20c are connected together, and the face 20b and the bearing 20d are connected together ( figure 4 ).
- the casing 14 has a generally frustoconical shape flared towards the downstream in the example shown and comprises at its upstream end a third flange 22.
- the flange 22 comprises two radial faces, respectively downstream 22b and upstream 22a support, and a surface radially internal cylindrical hooping 22c.
- the face 22b and the surface 22c are connected to each other ( figure 4 ).
- the flanges 18, 20 and 22 comprise aligned holes for the passage of fixing screws 24 whose heads 24a bear for example on the downstream radial face 18b of the first flange 18, and whose threaded bodies receive nuts 24b which bear on the upstream radial face 22a of the third flange 22 ( figure 4 ).
- the flanges 18, 20, 22 are shrink-wrapped, that is to say they are fixed together by radial clamping one on the other.
- the part intended to be fixed on another part is heated to expand it and facilitate its engagement on the other part. As it cools, the part retracts and tightens radially against the other part.
- the flange 18 is shrunk by its surface 18c on the surface 20d of the flange 20, and the flange 22 is shrunk by its surface 22c on the surface 20c of the flange 20.
- the flange 20 is interposed between the flanges 18, 22 and its radial faces 20a, 20b bear on the flanges 22, 18 respectively and therefore does not include any projections.
- one of the other parts such as for example the support 10 is produced from a foundry and comprises on its downstream radial face 18b projecting studs 26 (visible at figure 3 ) which are necessary for checking the part and for manufacturing the part.
- the pads 26 have a general parallelepipedal shape in the example shown.
- these flanges must be equipped with extraction means, that is to say means capable of generating a sufficient axial separation force between two parts in order to to extract them from one another by defrosting them.
- these extraction means comprise attached bushings 28, visible at the figure 2 .
- These bushes 28 are mounted crimped in holes of a flange and receive screws which are intended to bear on a flange adjacent to the flange carrying the bushes, so as to apply the aforementioned separation force.
- the flange which carries the studs 26 does not include extraction bushings 28 because the function of these bushings is integrated into the plots.
- the studs 26 indeed include threads 30 for screwing the extraction screw, as can be seen in figure 3 .
- the threads 30 are through and threaded to cooperate with the extraction screws which are intended to bear on at least one of the other flanges 20, 22 of the assembly.
- the threads 30 are oriented axially, that is to say parallel to the axis of revolution and assembly of the parts.
- the extraction screws are screwed from downstream into the threads 30 in the example shown.
- FIGS. 5a to 5e illustrate disassembly steps of a first embodiment of a method according to the invention, only the support 10 being disassembled and therefore separated from the other two parts (support 12 and casing 14).
- Each extraction screw 32 has a generally cylindrical shape and comprises a threaded body 32b, one longitudinal end of which is connected to a drive head 32c and of which an opposite longitudinal end comprises an axial extension 32a having a diameter smaller than that of the body.
- the flange 20 comprises through holes 34 aligned with the threads 30 of the flange 18. These holes 34 are not threaded and have an internal diameter smaller than that of the threads 30, and between the diameter of the extension 32a and the diameter of the body 32b of the screw 32. It is also noted that each thread 30 is connected to a hole 34 by an annular cavity 36 which is located at the interface between the flanges 18, 20. This cavity 36 has a diameter greater than the diameters of the hole 34 and of the thread 30 and comprises a half-portion formed by a hollow on the downstream radial face 20b of the flange 20 and another half-portion formed by a hollow on the upstream radial face 18a of the flange 18 ( figure 4 ).
- the flange 22 comprises blind holes 38 aligned with the holes 34 and the internal threads 30. These holes 38 are not threaded and here have an internal diameter greater than the internal diameter of the holes 34.
- the threads 30 are for example three in number regularly distributed around the axis of the support 10. It is therefore understood that the flange 20 in this case comprises three holes 34 and that the flange 22 comprises three holes 38.
- Each screw 32 is first aligned with the axis of an internal thread 30 and then engaged by its extension 32a in this internal thread 30 ( figures 5a and 5b ).
- the screw is screwed into the thread by means of a suitable tool in engagement with the drive head 32c, until the extension 32a engages the hole 34 and the end of the body 32b connected to the extension rest on the bottom of the hollow of the downstream radial face 20b of the flange 20 ( figures 5c and 5d ).
- extension 32a has a length L1 less than the thickness E of the flange 20 (and more exactly, L1 is less than the thickness E 'remaining between the bottom of the forming hollow of the cavity 36 on the face 20b, and the opposite face 20a - figure 5d ) and does not risk coming into contact with the flange 22 during screwing. It is further understood that, for the sole removal of support 10, this extension 32a is not compulsory since it has no particular utility during this extraction.
- FIG. 6a to 6h illustrate another embodiment of the method according to the invention which here consists in extracting the flanges 18, 22 from the flange 20 and therefore in completely disassembling the assembly.
- the same screw 32 is used but is here equipped with a stop 40 which is removably mounted on the extension 32a.
- This stopper has a generally cylindrical shape and is axially aligned with the extension 32a and the body 32b of the screw, the external diameter of this stopper being similar to that of the extension and therefore smaller than that of the body.
- the total length L2 of the stop 40 and of the extension 32a is greater than the thickness E (E ') of the flange 20 so that the stop and the extension can be engaged in the hole 34 and pass through it. .
- Each screw 32 is first aligned with the axis of an internal thread 30 then engaged by its extension 32a in this internal thread 30 ( figures 6a and 6b ). The screw is screwed into the tapping until the stop 40 and the extension 32a engage in the hole 34 and this stop rests on the bottom of the blind hole 38 of the downstream radial face 22b of the flange 22 ( figures 6c and 6d ).
- the screw 32 is screwed again into the tapping 30 until the end of the body 32b connected to the extension 32a bears on the downstream radial face 20b of the flange 20 ( figures 6g ).
Description
La présente invention concerne une pièce annulaire de fonderie et frettée d'une turbomachine d'aéronefThe present invention relates to an annular casting and shrink-wrapped part of an aircraft turbomachine.
L'état de la technique comprend notamment les documents
Une turbomachine d'aéronef comprend plusieurs pièces annulaires, telles que par exemple des carters, des supports de revêtement abradable, etc., qui sont coaxiaux et s'étendent autour de l'axe longitudinal de la turbomachine, qui est en général confondu avec l'axe de rotation de son rotor principal ou de ses rotors principaux.An aircraft turbomachine comprises several annular parts, such as, for example, casings, abradable coating supports, etc., which are coaxial and extend around the longitudinal axis of the turbomachine, which is generally coincident with the axis of rotation of its main rotor or of its main rotors.
Les carters et les supports abradables doivent être bien centrés et étanches entre eux. Pour cela, ils sont montés frettés les uns avec les autres. C'est particulièrement important pour les supports abradables qui assurent une étanchéité entre des parties mobiles et fixes du moteur.The abradable housings and supports must be well centered and sealed against each other. For this, they are mounted hooped with each other. This is particularly important for abradable mounts which provide a seal between moving and stationary parts of the engine.
Pour démonter ces pièces, il est connu de les équiper de douilles d'extraction. Ces douilles sont installées à intervalles réguliers sur des brides annulaires de fixation des pièces. Des vis dédiées à l'extraction des pièces sont vissées dans ces douilles pour démonter les pièces les unes des autres. Les vis sont en effet utilisées pour que le couple de serrage des vis soit transformé en un effort d'extraction suffisant pour vaincre les efforts de serrage des pièces liés au frettage.In order to dismantle these parts, it is known practice to equip them with extraction sleeves. These bushings are installed at regular intervals on annular workpiece fixing flanges. Dedicated screws for extracting the parts are screwed into these sockets to disassemble the parts from each other. The screws are in fact used so that the tightening torque of the screws is transformed into an extraction force sufficient to overcome the clamping forces of the parts linked to the shrinking.
Ces douilles d'extraction sont en général rapportées et fixées par sertissage sur les brides, à côté des orifices prévus sur cette bride pour le passage des vis de fixation de cette bride. C'est notamment le cas des pièces qui sont réalisées par forgeage.These extraction bushes are generally attached and fixed by crimping on the flanges, next to the orifices provided on this flange for the passage of the fixing screws of this flange. This is particularly the case with parts which are produced by forging.
Cependant, certaines pièces d'une turbomachine peuvent être réalisées par fonderie. Dans ce cas, l'opération de fonderie nécessite la présence de plots spécifiques en saillie sur les pièces qui ont une double fonction. Ces plots servent d'abord de référence au contrôle de la pièce après fabrication, et servent aussi pendant la fabrication de la pièce. Ces plots doivent donc être conservés lors de la vie de la pièce. Ils sont cependant relativement volumineux et doivent idéalement être situés sur la bride de la pièce pour répondre aux besoins de la fonderie.However, some parts of a turbomachine can be made by foundry. In this case, the foundry operation requires the presence of specific protruding studs on the parts which have a dual function. These studs first serve as a reference for checking the part after manufacture, and also serve during the manufacture of the part. These studs must therefore be kept during the life of the part. They are however relatively bulky and should ideally be located on the workpiece flange to meet the needs of the foundry.
Cependant, il est actuellement très difficile voire impossible, pour des raisons d'encombrement, de disposer sur une même bride d'une pièce obtenue de fonderie des orifices de passage des vis de fixation (liaisons boulonnées), des douilles d'extraction, des plots de fonderie, voire également d'autres organes tels que des nervures de rigidification.However, it is currently very difficult or even impossible, for reasons of space, to have on the same flange of a part obtained from foundry passage holes for fixing screws (bolted connections), extraction sleeves, foundry studs, or also other members such as stiffening ribs.
Ce problème est accentué lorsque plus de deux brides sont appliquées et fixées entre elles. Dans un tel cas, l'une des brides frettées doit comprendre des douilles d'extraction ainsi que des encoches de passage de douilles d'extraction d'une autre bride sur laquelle cette bride est frettée.This problem is accentuated when more than two clamps are applied and fixed between them. In such a case, one of the shrink-wrapped flanges must include extraction sleeves as well as notches for the passage of extraction sleeves from another flange on which this flange is shrunk.
La présente invention propose une solution simple, efficace et économique à ce problème.The present invention provides a simple, efficient and economical solution to this problem.
L'invention concerne une pièce pour une turbomachine, cette pièce ayant une forme générale annulaire autour d'un axe de révolution, cette pièce comportant une première bride annulaire de fixation par frettage et comportant une rangée annulaire d'orifices de passage de vis, cette pièce étant réalisée par fonderie et comportant des plots en saillie nécessaires au contrôle et à la réalisation de la pièce par fonderie, caractérisée en ce que lesdits plots sont situés sur ladite bride et comprennent chacun un taraudage configuré pour coopérer avec une vis d'extraction de la bride.The invention relates to a part for a turbomachine, this part having a general annular shape around an axis of revolution, this part comprising a first annular flange for fixing by shrinking and comprising an annular row of screw holes, this part part being produced by foundry and comprising projecting studs necessary for the control and production of the part by casting, characterized in that said studs are located on said flange and each comprise a tapping configured to cooperate with an extraction screw of the flange.
L'invention est avantageuse car elle permet d'intégrer la fonction des douilles d'extraction de la technique antérieure aux plots de fonderie. La pièce n'a donc pas besoin de douilles d'extraction à proprement parler, ce qui libère de l'espace sur sa bride de fixation par frettage. Les plots ont ainsi une double fonction.The invention is advantageous because it makes it possible to integrate the function of the extraction bushings of the prior art into the foundry pads. The part therefore does not need extraction bushings strictly speaking, which frees space on its fixing flange by shrinking. The pads thus have a dual function.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la bride 18 est frettée par sa surface 18c sur la portée 20d de la bride 20, et la bride 22 est frettée par sa surface 22c sur la portée 20c de la bride 20.In the example shown, the
La bride 20 est intercalée entre les brides 18, 22 et ses faces radiales 20a, 20b sont en appui sur les brides 22, 18 respectivement et ne comprend donc pas de saillies.The
Selon l'invention, une des autres pièces telles que par exemple le support 10 est réalisé de fonderie et comprend sur sa face radiale aval 18b des plots 26 en saillie (visibles à la
Par ailleurs, du fait du montage par frettage des brides 18, 20, 22, ces brides doivent être équipées de moyens d'extraction c'est-à-dire de moyens aptes à générer une force d'écartement axial suffisante entre deux pièces afin de les extraire l'une de l'autre en les défrettant.Furthermore, due to the mounting by shrinking of the
De manière classique, ces moyens d'extraction comprennent des douilles 28 rapportées, visibles à la
Selon l'invention, la bride qui porte les plots 26 ne comporte pas de douilles d'extraction 28 car la fonction de ces douilles est intégrée aux plots. Les plots 26 comportent en effet des taraudages 30 de vissage de vis d'extraction, comme cela est visible à la
Les taraudages 30 sont traversants et filetés pour coopérer avec les vis d'extraction qui sont destinées à prendre appui sur au moins une des autres brides 20, 22 de l'assemblage. Les taraudages 30 sont orientés axialement c'est-à-dire parallèlement à l'axe de révolution et d'assemblage des pièces. Les vis d'extraction sont vissées depuis l'aval dans les taraudages 30 dans l'exemple représenté.The
Les
Chaque vis d'extraction 32 a une forme générale cylindrique et comporte un corps fileté 32b dont une extrémité longitudinale est reliée à une tête d'entraînement 32c et dont une extrémité longitudinale opposée comprend un prolongement axial 32a ayant un diamètre inférieur à celui du corps.Each
On constate que la bride 20 comprend des trous traversants 34 alignés avec les taraudages 30 de la bride 18. Ces trous 34 ne sont pas taraudés et ont un diamètre interne inférieur à celui des taraudages 30, et compris entre le diamètre du prolongement 32a et le diamètre du corps 32b de la vis 32. On constate également que chaque taraudage 30 est relié à un trou 34 par une cavité annulaire 36 qui est située à l'interface entre les brides 18, 20. Cette cavité 36 a un diamètre supérieur aux diamètres du trou 34 et du taraudage 30 et comprend une demi-portion formée par un creux sur la face radiale aval 20b de la bride 20 et une autre demi-portion formée par un creux sur la face radiale amont 18a de la bride 18 (
La bride 22 comprend des trous borgnes 38 alignés avec les trous 34 et les taraudages 30. Ces trous 38 ne sont pas filetés et ont ici un diamètre interne supérieur au diamètre interne des trous 34.The
Les taraudages 30 sont par exemple au nombre de trois régulièrement répartis autour de l'axe du support 10. On comprend donc que la bride 20 comprend dans ce cas trois trous 34 et que la bride 22 comprend trois trous 38.The
Chaque vis 32 est d'abord alignée sur l'axe d'un taraudage 30 puis engagée par son prolongement 32a dans ce taraudage 30 (
Il suffit alors d'appliquer un couple de serrage suffisant à la vis 32 afin qu'une force d'extraction soit appliquée au support (flèche F1) en vue de l'écartement axial des brides 18, 20 jusqu'à ce que la surface 18c de la bride ne soit plus au contact de la portée 20d de la bride 20.It is then sufficient to apply a sufficient tightening torque to the
Cette opération peut être ici rendue possible par le fait que le prolongement 32a a une longueur L1 inférieure à l'épaisseur E de la bride 20 (et plus exactement, L1 est inférieure à l'épaisseur E' restante entre le fond du creux de formation de la cavité 36 sur la face 20b, et la face 20a opposée -
Les
Pour cela, la même vis 32 est utilisée mais est ici équipée d'une butée 40 qui est montée de manière amovible sur le prolongement 32a. Cette butée a une forme générale cylindrique et est alignée axialement sur le prolongement 32a et le corps 32b de la vis, le diamètre externe de cette butée étant similaire à celui du prolongement et donc inférieur à celui du corps.For this, the
De préférence, la longueur totale L2 de la butée 40 et du prolongement 32a est supérieure à l'épaisseur E (E') de la bride 20 de façon à ce que la butée et le prolongement puissent être engagés dans le trou 34 et le traverser.Preferably, the total length L2 of the
Chaque vis 32 est d'abord alignée avec l'axe d'un taraudage 30 puis engagée par son prolongement 32a dans ce taraudage 30 (
Il suffit alors d'appliquer un couple de serrage suffisant à la vis 32 afin qu'une force d'extraction soit appliquée au support (flèche F2) en vue de l'écartement axial des brides 18, 20, d'une part, de la bride 22, d'autre part, jusqu'à ce que la surface 22c de la bride 22 ne soit plus au contact de la portée 20c de la bride 20.It is then sufficient to apply a sufficient tightening torque to the
La vis 32 est vissée à nouveau dans le taraudage 30 jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité du corps 32b reliée au prolongement 32a prenne appui sur la face radiale aval 20b de la bride 20 (
Il suffit alors d'appliquer un nouveau couple de serrage suffisant à la vis 32 afin qu'une force d'extraction soit appliquée au support (flèche F1) en vue de l'écartement axial des brides 18, 20, jusqu'à ce que la surface 18c de la bride 18 ne soit plus au contact de la portée 20d de la bride 20 (
