Definitions
- TITLE PROPULSIVE ASSEMBLY FOR AN AIRCRAFT
- the present invention relates to a propulsion assembly for an aircraft.
- Figure 1 illustrates a propulsion assembly 10 for an aircraft.
- propulsion assembly 10 for an aircraft means an assembly comprising a pylon 12, a turbomachine 14 and its cowling 16.
- the reactor mast 12 is a massive part which makes it possible to attach a turbomachine 14 to an aircraft, and for example to a wing of the aircraft.
- the reactor mast 12 therefore comprises elements for fixing to the aircraft and elements for fixing the turbomachine 14.
- the reactor mast 12 has a generally elongated shape and extends along a first axis A.
- the turbomachine 14 includes a lubrication system 18 which makes it possible in particular to lubricate the bearings of the turbomachine by circulation of lubricating oil.
- the exchanger 26 carried by the cowling 16 is connected to the lubrication system 18 by fluid connection means which must authorize the opening of the panels 20 and in particular their pivoting, without necessarily requiring disconnecting the exchanger 26 from lubrication system screw 18.
- the telescopic connection is integrated into a cylinder connecting the panel to the turbomachine, this cylinder being configured to cause the panel to pivot around said pivot axis;
- the telescopic connection is connected to at least one pump
- the telescopic connection is integrated into a connecting rod for holding the panel in a predetermined position relative to the turbomachine, this connecting rod extending between the panel and the turbomachine;
- a seal is mounted at one end of the body and cooperates with the rod when it moves, and/or a seal is mounted at one end of the rod and cooperates with the body when the rod moves in the body ;
- the fluidic circuit is connected to the fluidic system by two telescopic connections, a first of these telescopic connections being connected to an inlet of said fluidic circuit, and a second of these telescopic connections being connected to a fluidic outlet of said circuit;
- the fluidic circuit is connected to the fluidic system by a single telescopic connection in which the first and second internal passages are independent and connected respectively to a fluidic inlet and to a fluidic outlet of said fluidic circuit;
- the first and second internal passages are in fluid communication whatever the position of the panel around said pivot axis;
- first and second internal passages are fluidly isolated from each other when the panel is in its open position
- the telescopic connection comprises a mechanical locking device making it possible to block the tubular rod with respect to the tubular body, in a position along said axis of elongation; this allows the covers to be kept open to carry out a maintenance operation;
- At least one valve is mounted between the fluid system and the telescopic connection;
- said fluid circuit is an oil circuit or a coolant circuit
- the cowling surrounds at least part of the turbomachine
- the cowling comprises two panels of generally semi-circular shape which extend on either side of said main axis;
- each of these panels has an upper and lower longitudinal edge
- the other of the panels carries another heat exchanger or another type of fluidic equipment
- Figure 1 is a partial schematic perspective view of a propulsion assembly for an aircraft
- Figure 7 is a very schematic view in axial section of the telescopic connection of Figure 5, the connection being here in an deployed position;
- Figure 9 is a very schematic view in axial section of a telescopic connection and illustrates another alternative embodiment of the invention, the connection here being in a retracted position;
- Figure 11 is a very schematic view in axial section of a telescopic connection and illustrates another alternative embodiment of the invention, the connection here being in a retracted position;
- Figure 14 is a very schematic view in axial section of the telescopic connection of Figure 13, the connection being here in an deployed position;
- Figure 15 is a very schematic view of the telescopic connections of Figure 4 also associated with a pressurized oil supply circuit for these connections so that they can provide an additional function of cylinders, the telescopic connections being here used to supply oil to the fluid circuit of the exchanger, and
- turbomachine 14 comprising a fluid system 18 in particular its bearings and rotating elements, and
- cowling 16 which can surround the turbomachine 14, as in the example shown.
- the panels 20 comprise upper longitudinal edges 22 which are fixed by hinges 25.
- the hinges 25 can be carried by a beam of the turbomachine 14 or by the engine mast 12 in the case where the latter is part of the propulsion assembly 10 .
- the upper edges 22 are located substantially in a 12 o'clock position being separated from each other by the beam or the reactor mast 12.
- the hinges 25 are generally arranged one behind the other along a pivot axis C of the corresponding panel 20.
- Each of the panels 20 is articulated around this axis C which can be parallel to the axis B for example, from a closed position in which its lower longitudinal edge 24 is substantially at the 6 o'clock position, to an open position (illustrated in the drawing) in which its lower edge 24 is away from the 6 o'clock position.
- the angular movement (arrow F) between the two positions is for example greater than 30° around axis C.
- the exchanger 26 is located on a concave curved surface of the panel 20, which is oriented towards the axis B, and which is therefore an internal surface of the panel 20. This position is not limiting. Alternatively, the exchanger 26 could for example be on an external convex surface of the panel 20.
- the panel 20 can be an internal or external panel of the turbomachine and the propulsion assembly, and can be swept by a flow of gas passing inside or outside of the panel.
- the exchanger 26 is therefore located inside or outside the panel 20, and therefore positioned on an internal or external surface of this panel 20.
- the fluid system 18 is for example a lubrication system but could alternatively be a cooling system.
- the fluid circuit 26' is for example an oil circuit but could alternatively be a coolant circuit.
- the fluid connection means of the fluid circuit 26' of each exchanger 26 to the fluid system 18 comprise at least one telescopic connection 30.
- the fluid circuit 26' comprises a fluid inlet 26a and a fluid outlet 26b.
- the fluidic system 18 includes a fluidic inlet 18a and a fluidic outlet 18b.
- the fluidic inlet 26a of the circuit 26' is connected to the fluidic outlet 18b of the system 18 by a first telescopic connection 30, and the fluidic outlet of the circuit 26' is connected to the fluidic inlet 18a of the system by a second telescopic connection 30 '.
- each panel 20 can be carried out manually. It could alternatively be produced using a hydraulic device comprising at least one cylinder 32 for moving the panel 20 between its extreme positions.
- the cylinder 32 is connected to a source of fluid such as oil by a pump not shown.
- the pump supplies oil at a predetermined pressure which makes it possible to deploy the cylinder 32 and to move the panel 20 around its pivot axis C.
- the propulsion assembly 10 may include at least one holding rod 34.
- a connecting rod 34 of this type extends between the turbomachine 14 and the panel 20, inside the panel, and its length can be fixed so that it ensures that the panel is maintained in an open position.
- each panel 20 can be connected to the turbomachine 14 by one or more cylinders 32 and by one or more connecting rods 34.
- each telescopic connection 30, 30' also extends between the panel 20 and the turbomachine 14.
- Each telescopic connection 30, 30' can be independent of the cylinder 32 and the connecting rod 34.
- each telescopic connection 30, 30' is integrated into a cylinder 32 or into a connecting rod 34.
- this cylinder has a dual function of fluid circulation between the fluid system 18 and the exchanger 26, and of movement of the panel 20 between its extreme positions.
- Each telescopic connection 30, 30' comprises a tubular rod 40 movable in translation in a tubular body 42 along an elongation axis C of the connection.
- the telescopic connection 30, 30' has a length which varies depending on the position of the rod 40 in the body 42.
- the telescopic connection is in a retracted position illustrated in the drawing .
- the telescopic connection is in an deployed position (see Figure 7).
- the tubular rod 40 has a first internal passage 44 in fluid communication with a second internal passage 46 of the tubular body 42 at least when the panel is in the closed position and the connection is in the retracted position, as illustrated in the drawing. Passages 44, 46 may also be in fluid communication when the panel is in the open position and the link is in the deployed position.
- connection telescopic 30, 30' is equipped with at least one seal 56 which can be carried by the body 42 and cooperate with the rod 40, as illustrated in Figure 5, or else carried by the rod 40 and cooperate with the body 42, as illustrated in Figure 6.
- seal 56 can be carried by the body 42 and cooperate with the rod 40, as illustrated in Figure 5, or else carried by the rod 40 and cooperate with the body 42, as illustrated in Figure 6.
- Figure 5 it is the end of the body 42 through which the rod 40 exits which is equipped with the seal 54.
- Figure 6 it is the end of the rod 40 engaged in the body 42 which is equipped with the seal 54.
- the rod 40 comprises two fluid passage ports 48, 49, a first port 48 similar to that described above and which is in fluid communication with the passage 44, and a second port 49 which is also located at the end of the rod 40 opposite to that engaged in the body 42 and which is in fluid communication with the passage 45.
- the body 42 comprises two fluid passage ports 50, 51, a first port 50 similar to that described above and which is in fluid communication with the passage 46, and a second port 51 which is located on one side of the body 42 and which is in fluid communication with passage 47.
- a seal 56 is provided at the end of the rod 40 engaged in the body 42 and makes it possible to isolate the two internal passages 46, 47 of the body.
- Another seal 58 is provided at the end of the body 42 through which the rod 40 exits, and makes it possible to isolate the internal passage 47 from the outside of the telescopic connection 30, 30'.
- the rod 40 includes an internal passage 45 which extends along the rod and which opens onto one side of the rod.
- the body 42 includes an internal passage 47 which is located on one side or periphery of the body and is in fluid communication with the passage 45 when the rod is in the retracted position illustrated in Figure 9.
- the body 42 further includes a internal cavity 60 at the bottom of the body, which is isolated from the passage 47 by a seal 54 carried by the end of the rod 40 engaged in the body 42.
- the port 51 In the position of Figure 9, the port 51 is in communication fluidic with passage 47. In the position of Figure 10, port 51 is no longer in fluidic communication with passage 47.
- Figures 11 and 12 illustrate another alternative embodiment of the invention which corresponds to the scenario mentioned in the above in which the telescopic connection 30, 30' is integrated into a holding rod 32.
- This variant differs from the previous variants essentially in that the telescopic connection 30, 30' further comprises a mechanical locking device 62 of the rod 40 in its deployed position or in one of its deployed positions.
- the telescopic connection 30, 30' also has the function of being able to maintain the connection fixedly in its deployed position and therefore of being able to maintain the panel 20 in its open position.
- the device 62 is movable from an unlocking position illustrated in Figure 11, in which the rod 40 can slide freely inside the body 42, to a locking position illustrated in Figure 12 in which the rod 40 is locked in the deployed position.
- Blocking can be achieved for example by engaging a finger 64 of the device 62 in an orifice 66 or a slot in the rod 40.
- Activation of the device 62 can be automatic or controlled.
- the internal passages of the rods 40, 68 and the body 42 communicate with each other when the connection 30, 30' is retracted (figure 13) and can also communicate with each other when the link is deployed (figure 4).
- the telescopic connections 30, 30' are connected to a pressurized oil supply circuit 70.
- This circuit 70 includes a pump 72 which is connected to a fluid reservoir 74 which can be a fluid reservoir of the fluid system 18.
- the circuit 70 can be isolated from the telescopic connections 30, 30' by a valve 76.
- the telescopic connections 30, 30' serve to supply the fluidic circuit 26' of the exchanger 26 with the oil coming from the fluidic system 18.
- the oil coming from the system 18 passes to through connection 30 to reach input 26a of circuit 26'.
- the oil leaves the circuit via outlet 26b then passes through connection 30’ to join system 18.
- the telescopic links 30, 30' both function as cylinders.
- the valve 52 which connects the telescopic connection 30, 30' to the fluid system 18 is closed and the circuit 70 is used to supply pressurized oil to the two telescopic connections 30, 30'.
- the oil which thus supplies the telescopic connection 30 applies pressure on the rod 40 which forces it to deploy.
- Part of this oil circulates through the internal passages of the connection 30 and in the fluidic circuit 26' to join the other telescopic connection 30' to also apply pressure on the rod 40 which forces it to deploy.
- the rods 40 of the two connections 30, 30 deploy and move the panel 20 from its closed position to its open position. This system is naturally reversible.
- the pressure of the oil which circulates in the fluid system 18 and in the circuit 26' in the case of Figure 15 is lower than that of the oil in the circuit 26' in the case of Figure 16 during the use of the links as jacks.
- the oil pressure in the case of Figure 15 is for example less than or equal to 6 bars.
- the oil pressure in the case of Figure 16 is for example greater than or equal to 50 bars.
