Description

ENSEMBLE DE DISTRIBUTION POUR ROUE DE TURBINE  DISTRIBUTION ASSEMBLY FOR TURBINE WHEEL
PELTON ET TURBINE PELTON COMPORTANT UN TEL ENSEMBLE DE DISTRIBUTION  PELTON AND PELTON TURBINE HAVING SUCH A DISPENSING ASSEMBLY
La présente invention concerne un ensemble de distribution pour alimenter en eau une roue de turbine Pelton. D'autre part, la présente invention concerne une turbine Pelton comportant un tel ensemble de distribution. The present invention relates to a dispensing assembly for supplying water to a Pelton turbine wheel. On the other hand, the present invention relates to a Pelton turbine comprising such a distribution assembly.
Pour alimenter en eau une roue de turbine Pelton, il est connu de mettre en œuvre un distributeur comprenant un conduit de distribution, sensiblement en forme de portion de tore, et plusieurs conduits d'injection répartis autour de la roue de façon à injecter des jets d'eau dans ses augets. Le conduit de distribution canalise de l'eau vers chaque conduit d'injection. Chacun des conduits d'injection est relié au conduit de distribution, si bien que le débit d'eau est localement réparti entre le conduit de distribution, d'une part, et l'un des conduits d'injection, d'autre part.  To supply water to a Pelton turbine wheel, it is known to implement a distributor comprising a distribution duct, substantially in the form of a torus portion, and a plurality of injection ducts distributed around the wheel so as to inject jets. of water in its buckets. The distribution duct channels water to each injection conduit. Each of the injection ducts is connected to the distribution duct, so that the flow of water is locally distributed between the distribution duct, on the one hand, and one of the injection ducts, on the other hand.
Dans un ensemble de distribution de l'art antérieur, le conduit de distribution et chaque conduit d'injection ont des formes tubulaires à sections cylindriques. L'eau qui s'y écoule suit des trajectoires courbes, le long desquelles elle est soumise à des accélérations centrifuges. Ces accélérations centrifuges génèrent un gradient de pression entre la paroi interne et la paroi externe à la courbure d'un conduit d'injection. L'eau située à proximité des parois interne et externe n'est pas ou peu soumise à l'accélération centrifuge, car sa vitesse d'écoulement près de ces parois est faible ou nulle. Par conséquent, le gradient de pressions généré dans la région du conduit d'injection induit une circulation du liquide le long des parois entre le rayon de courbure externe et le rayon de courbure interne. L'eau qui s'écoule principalement le long du conduit d'injection présente donc des écoulements secondaires transversalement à la direction longitudinale du conduit d'injection.  In a distribution assembly of the prior art, the distribution duct and each injection duct have tubular shapes with cylindrical sections. The water flowing there follows curved paths, along which it is subjected to centrifugal accelerations. These centrifugal accelerations generate a pressure gradient between the inner wall and the outer wall at the curvature of an injection duct. The water located near the inner and outer walls is not or only slightly subjected to centrifugal acceleration, because its flow velocity near these walls is low or zero. Therefore, the pressure gradient generated in the region of the injection conduit induces a flow of liquid along the walls between the outer radius of curvature and the inner radius of curvature. The water flowing mainly along the injection duct therefore has secondary flows transverse to the longitudinal direction of the injection duct.
La figure 1 montre un profil de vitesses mesurées en amont d'une intersection entre le conduit de distribution et un conduit d'injection. Ce profil de vitesses « amont » est globalement uniforme. La figure 2 montre un profil de vitesses mesurées dans le conduit d'injection, suivant un plan transversal à la direction principale du conduit d'injection et en aval de l'intersection avec le conduit de distribution. Ce profil de vitesses « aval » présente une dissymétrie marquée en raison des écoulements secondaires précités. Plus précisément, cette dissymétrie ou l'écart entre la vitesse moyenne Vm d'une part et la vitesse minimale Vinf ou la vitesse maximale Vsup d'autre part est d'environ 50% de la valeur de la vitesse moyenne Vm. Or, une telle dissymétrie du profil de vitesses provoque une déformation du jet d'eau issu du conduit d'injection, ce qui réduit l'énergie cinétique disponible pour actionner la roue de la turbine Pelton. FIG. 1 shows a profile of speeds measured upstream of an intersection between the distribution duct and an injection duct. This "upstream" speed profile is globally uniform. Figure 2 shows a profile of speeds measured in the injection duct, in a plane transverse to the main direction of the injection duct and downstream of the intersection with the distribution duct. This "downstream" velocity profile has a marked dissymmetry due to the aforementioned secondary flows. More precisely, this asymmetry or the difference between the average speed V m on the one hand and the minimum speed V inf or the maximum speed V sup on the other hand is approximately 50% of the value of the average speed V m . However, such an asymmetry of the velocity profile causes a deformation of the jet of water from the injection duct, which reduces the kinetic energy available to actuate the wheel of the Pelton turbine.
FR-A-2 919 355 décrit une machine Pelton comportant un conduit de distribution et plusieurs conduits d'injection montés en dérivation du conduit de distribution. Cette machine Pelton comporte en outre des canalisations auxiliaires dont l'entrée commune est raccordée à un collecteur formant l'entrée du conduit de distribution. La sortie de chaque canalisation auxiliaire est raccordée au conduit de distribution en amont d'un conduit d'injection associé.  FR-A-2 919 355 describes a Pelton machine comprising a distribution duct and a plurality of injection ducts mounted in parallel with the distribution duct. This Pelton machine further comprises auxiliary lines whose common inlet is connected to a manifold forming the inlet of the distribution duct. The output of each auxiliary pipe is connected to the distribution pipe upstream of an associated injection pipe.
Cependant, la machine Pelton de FR-A-2 919 355 présente des inconvénients de même nature que ceux mentionnés ci-avant. En outre, la structure des canalisations auxiliaires complique la constrution de l'ensemble de distribution.  However, the Pelton machine FR-A-2 919 355 has disadvantages of the same nature as those mentioned above. In addition, the structure of the auxiliary lines complicates the construction of the distribution assembly.
La présente invention vise notamment à remédier à ces inconvénients, en proposant un ensemble de distribution permettant de maximiser la conversion de l'énergie cinétique de l'eau en énergie mécanique de la roue.  The present invention aims in particular to overcome these disadvantages, by proposing a distribution assembly for maximizing the conversion of the kinetic energy of water into mechanical energy of the wheel.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un ensemble de distribution, pour alimenter en eau une roue de turbine Pelton, l'ensemble de distribution comprenant :  For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a distribution assembly for supplying water to a Pelton turbine wheel, the distribution assembly comprising:
un conduit de distribution globalement en forme de portion de tore dont l'axe de révolution est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de rotation de la roue ;  a generally toroidal portion-shaped distribution duct whose axis of revolution is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheel;

au moins une canalisation auxiliaire. L'ensemble de d istribution se caractérise en ce que la canalisation auxiliaire comprend une sortie raccordée à la partie interne d'un conduit d'injection et une entrée raccordée directement au conduit de distribution en amont dudit conduit d'injection correspondant, entre l'entrée de ce conduit d'injection et l'entrée du conduit d'injection précédent dans le sens de l'écoulement de l'eau. at least one auxiliary line. The allocation unit is characterized in that the auxiliary line comprises an outlet connected to the inner part of an injection duct and an inlet connected directly to the distribution duct upstream of said corresponding injection duct, between the inlet of this injection conduit and the inlet of the preceding injection conduit in the direction of the flow of water.
L'eau s'écoulant dans la ou les canalisation(s) auxiliaire(s) permet d'équilibrer le profil des vitesses d'écoulement dans le conduit de distribution et dans les conduits d'injection correspondant. Grâce à l'invention, un conduit d'injection projette un jet d'eau faiblement dispersé, avec des vitesses d'écoulements secondaires faibles et réduites par rapport à l'art antérieur.  The water flowing in the or the auxiliary line (s) allows to balance the profile of the flow velocities in the distribution duct and in the corresponding injection ducts. Thanks to the invention, an injection duct projects a weakly dispersed water jet, with low secondary flow rates and reduced compared to the prior art.

L'invention sera bien comprise et ses avantages ressortiront aussi à la lumière de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :  The invention will be well understood and its advantages will also emerge in the light of the description which follows, given solely by way of nonlimiting example and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:

- la figure 8 est une vue à plus grande échelle du détail VIII à la figure 4. La figure 4 illustre un ensemble de distribution ou distributeur 1 destiné à alimenter en eau une roue R de turbine Pelton connue en soi. La roue R présente globalement une symétrie de révolution suivant un axe Y, lequel forme un axe de rotation autour duquel la roue R est destinée à tourner. L'axe Y est perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 4.  - Figure 8 is an enlarged view of detail VIII in Figure 4. Figure 4 illustrates a dispensing assembly or distributor 1 for supplying water a wheel R Pelton turbine known per se. The wheel R globally has a symmetry of revolution along a Y axis, which forms an axis of rotation around which the wheel R is intended to rotate. The Y axis is perpendicular to the plane of FIG.
Une conduite d'entrée E amène au distributeur 1 un flux d'eau qui est symbol isé par une flèche FE. La conduite d'entrée E est située en amont du distributeur 1 . Dans la présente demande, les termes « amont » et « aval » font référence au sens général d'écoulement de l'eau, depuis la conduite d'entrée E jusqu'à la roue R. An inlet pipe E brings to the distributor 1 a stream of water which is symbolized by an arrow F E. The inlet pipe E is located upstream of the distributor 1. In the present application, the terms "upstream" and "downstream" refer to the general direction of flow of water, from the inlet pipe E to the wheel R.
Le distributeur 1 comprend un conduit de distribution 20 et plusieurs conduits d'injection 31 , 32, 33, 34 et 35 formés par des piquages dirigés, à partir du conduit de distribution 20, vers la roue R. Le flux d'eau FE entrant dans le conduit de distribution 20 sort par les conduits d'injection 31 à 35. Chaque conduit d'injection 31 à 35 éjecte ensuite un jet d'eau, J34 et équivalent, vers les augets de la roue R. Puis, l'eau est collectée par un bâti 5 avant d'être évacuée par au moins une conduite de sortie non représentée. The distributor 1 comprises a distribution duct 20 and several injection ducts 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 formed by directed taps, from the distribution duct 20, to the wheel R. The water flow F E entering the distribution duct 20 exits via the injection ducts 31 to 35. Each injection duct 31 to 35 then ejects a jet of water, J 34 and the like, to the buckets of the wheel R. Then, water is collected by a frame 5 before being evacuated by at least one outlet pipe not shown.
Comme le montre la figure 4, le conduit de distribution 20 a globalement une forme de portion de tore dont l'axe de révolution est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe Y. Le terme « portion » indique que le tore s'étend « en rond » sur un angle rentrant de tore A2o inférieur à 350°. En l'occurrence, l'angle de tore A2o vaut environ 280°. En d'autres termes, le conduit de dis tribution 20 est en forme de tore « ouvert ». As shown in FIG. 4, the distribution duct 20 generally has a torus portion shape whose axis of revolution is substantially parallel to the Y axis. The term "portion" indicates that the torus extends "in a circle On a reentrant angle of torus A 2 o less than 350 °. In this case, the torus angle A 2 o is about 280 °. In other words, the distribution channel 20 is in the shape of an "open" torus.
Le conduit de distribution 20 comprend plusieurs tronçons de distribution élémentaires. Les tronçons de distribution élémentaires sont juxtaposés le long d'un arc de cercle défini par l'angle de tore A2o- Chaque tronçon de distribution élémentaire est disposé entre deux conduits d'injection respectifs 31 à 35. The distribution duct 20 comprises several elementary distribution sections. The elementary distribution sections are juxtaposed along an arc defined by the torus angle A 2. Each elementary distribution section is arranged between two respective injection ducts 31 to 35.
Chaque conduit d'injection 31 à 35 est relié au conduit de distribution 20. Ainsi, une partie du débit d'eau provenant de la conduite d'entrée E est dérivée vers chaque conduit d'injection 31 à 35 par le conduit de distribution 20. L'eau s'écoule donc du conduit de distribution 20 vers chaque conduit d'injection 31 à 35. Each injection duct 31 to 35 is connected to the distribution duct 20. Thus, a portion of the water flow from the inlet duct E is diverted to each injection duct 31 to 35 through the distribution duct 20 . The water therefore flows from the distribution duct 20 to each injection duct 31 to 35.
Les conduits d'injection 31 à 35 sont répartis autour de emplacement occupé par la roue R. Les conduits d'injection 31 à 35 sont répartis uniformément autour de l'axe Y et à la périphérie de la roue R. Deux conduits d'injection successifs, par exemple les injecteurs 34 et 35, sont donc séparés par un angle A3 d'environ 72° dans l'exemple de la figure 4. L' angle séparant deux injecteurs successifs est fonction du nombre d'injecteurs et il pourrait donc être différent de 72°.  The injection ducts 31 to 35 are distributed around the location occupied by the wheel R. The injection ducts 31 to 35 are uniformly distributed around the Y axis and at the periphery of the wheel R. Two injection ducts successive, for example the injectors 34 and 35, are separated by an angle A3 of about 72 ° in the example of Figure 4. The angle between two successive injectors is a function of the number of injectors and it could be different from 72 °.
Chaque conduit d'injection 31 à 35 est agencé de façon à injecter l'eau dans les augets dans la roue R, ce qui permet d'entraîner la roue R en rotation autour de son axe Y. Le distributeur 1 , la roue R et la conduite d'entrée E forment ensemble une machine hydraulique de type turbine Pelton.  Each injection duct 31 to 35 is arranged to inject water into the buckets in the wheel R, which drives the wheel R in rotation about its axis Y. The distributor 1, the wheel R and the inlet pipe E together form a hydraulic machine type Pelton turbine.
La structure du conduit d'injection 34 est décrite ci-après de façon plus détaillée, en relation avec la figure 5. Cette description peut être transposée directement aux conduits d'injection 31 , 32 et 33, car ils sont semblables au conduit d'injection 34.  The structure of the injection duct 34 is described below in greater detail, in relation to FIG. 5. This description can be transposed directly to the injection ducts 31, 32 and 33, since they are similar to the duct of FIG. injection 34.
Le conduit d'injection 34 comporte une portion oblique 341 , un tronçon rectiligne 342 et une buse 343. Le tronçon rectiligne 342 est disposé en aval de la portion oblique 341 et en amont de la buse 343.  The injection duct 34 comprises an oblique portion 341, a rectilinear section 342 and a nozzle 343. The rectilinear section 342 is disposed downstream of the oblique portion 341 and upstream of the nozzle 343.
La portion oblique 341 , remplit une fonction de dérivation, car elle forme le piquage du conduit d'injection 34 sur le conduit de distribution 20. Chaque portion oblique 341 ou équivalent constitue un tronçon de dérivation connectant le conduit de distribution 31 à 34 respectif sur le conduit de distribution 20, de façon à collecter une partie du débit d'eau s'écoulant dans le conduit de distribution 20. Chaque portion oblique 341 ou équivalent définit une portion amont de forme convergente pour le conduit d'injection 34 respectif. Plus précisément, la portion oblique est de forme tronconique convergente.  The oblique portion 341 performs a bypass function because it forms the tapping of the injection duct 34 on the distribution duct 20. Each oblique portion 341 or equivalent constitutes a branch section connecting the distribution duct 31 to 34 respectively. the distribution duct 20, so as to collect a portion of the flow of water flowing in the distribution duct 20. Each oblique portion 341 or equivalent defines an upstream portion of convergent shape for the respective injection duct 34. More precisely, the oblique portion is of convergent frustoconical shape.
L'adjectif « oblique » indique que la direction d'écoulement dans la portion oblique 341 , laquelle est symbolisée par une flèche F341 à la figure 5, est inclinée par rapport à la direction locale de l'écoulement dans le conduit de distribution 20 au niveau du conduit d'injection 34, cette direction locale étant symbolisée par une flèche F2o à la figure 5. Le tronçon rectiligne 342 remplit une fonction de canalisation, car il canalise l'eau depuis la portion oblique 341 jusqu'à la buse 343. La direction longitudinale X3 2 du tronçon rectiligne 342 est tangente à une circonférence de la roue R prise au centre des augets, c'est-à-dire dont le diamètre forme le diamètre Pelton de la roue R. Selon une variante non représentée, chaque injecteur est dépourvu de portion oblique et se compose d'un tronçon rectiligne et d'un tronçon convergent directement reliés entre eux. The adjective "oblique" indicates that the direction of flow in the oblique portion 341, which is symbolized by an arrow F 341 in FIG. 5, is inclined with respect to the local direction of the flow in the distribution duct 20 at the level of the injection duct 34, this local direction being represented by an arrow F 2 o in FIG. The rectilinear section 342 fulfills a ducting function because it channels the water from the oblique portion 341 to the nozzle 343. The longitudinal direction X 32 of the rectilinear section 342 is tangent to a circumference of the wheel R taken in the center buckets, that is to say the diameter of which forms the Pelton diameter of the wheel R. According to a variant not shown, each injector is devoid of oblique portion and consists of a straight section and a convergent section directly interconnected.
La buse 343 remplit une fonction d'éjection, car elle éjecte un jet d'eau J34 vers les augets de la roue R. Un mécanisme non représenté est monté sur le distributeur 1 de façon à actionner une aiguille non représentée de la buse 343 et des buses équivalentes des autres conduits d'injection 31 , 32, 33 et 35. Dans le jet d'eau J3 , les vitesses d'écoulement s'étendent essentiellement suivant la direction longitudinale X342, comme cela est détaillé par la suite. The nozzle 343 performs an ejection function, as it ejects a jet of water J 34 to the buckets of the wheel R. A mechanism not shown is mounted on the distributor 1 so as to actuate a needle not shown from the nozzle 343 and equivalent nozzles of the other injection ducts 31, 32, 33 and 35. In the jet of water J 3 , the flow velocities extend essentially in the longitudinal direction X342, as is detailed hereinafter.
Par ailleurs, l'ensemble de distribution 1 comporte des canalisations auxiliaires dont cinq sont visibles à la figure 4 avec les références 310, 320, 330, 340 et 350. La structure et le fonctionnement de la canalisation 340 sont décrits ci-après de façon plus détaillée, en relation avec les figures 5 à 7. Cette description détaillée peut être transposée directement aux canalisations auxiliaires 310, 320 et 330, car ces dernières sont semblables à la canalisation auxiliaire 340. La structure et le fonctionnement de la canalisation auxiliaire 350 est également décrite ci-après de façon plus détaillée, en relation avec la figure 6.  Furthermore, the distribution assembly 1 comprises auxiliary lines of which five are visible in Figure 4 with the references 310, 320, 330, 340 and 350. The structure and operation of the pipe 340 are described below so that 5-10. This detailed description can be transposed directly to the auxiliary lines 310, 320 and 330, because these are similar to the auxiliary line 340. The structure and operation of the auxiliary line 350 is also described below in more detail, in connection with FIG. 6.
La canalisation auxiliaire 340 comprend une sortie 340.2 qui est raccordée à la partie interne du conduit d'injection 34, comme le montre la figure 4 ou 5. La canalisation auxiliaire 340 comprend une entrée 340.1 qui est raccordée au conduit de distribution en amont du conduit d'injection 34. Dans l'exemple des figures, l'entrée 340.1 de la canalisation auxiliaire 340 est raccordée directement en amont du conduit d'injection 34.  The auxiliary pipe 340 comprises an outlet 340.2 which is connected to the inner part of the injection pipe 34, as shown in FIG. 4 or 5. The auxiliary pipe 340 comprises an inlet 340.1 which is connected to the distribution pipe upstream of the pipe In the example of the figures, the inlet 340.1 of the auxiliary pipe 340 is connected directly upstream of the injection pipe 34.
Les termes « entrée » et « sortie » font référence au sens d'écoulement de l'eau dans une canalisation auxiliaire, telle que la canalisation auxiliaire 340 pour laquelle l'écoulement de l'eau est symbolisé par une flèche F340 à la figure 5. Dans l'exemple des figures 4 à 8, les termes « entrée » et « sortie » désignent respectivement un orifice d'entrée unique et un orifice de sortie unique. The terms "inlet" and "outlet" refer to the flow direction of the water in an auxiliary pipe, such as the auxiliary pipe 340 for which the flow of water is symbolized by an arrow F 340 in FIG. 5. In the example of Figures 4 to 8, the terms "entry" and "exit" respectively denote a single inlet port and a single outlet port.
L'adverbe « directement » signifie que l'entrée d'une canalisation auxiliaire se trouve entre l'entrée du conduit d'injection auquel est raccordée la sortie de cette canalisation auxiliaire et l'entrée du conduit d'injection précédent dans le sens d'écoulement de l'eau. En d'autres termes, l'entrée d'une canalisation auxiliaire est raccordée à la portion du conduit de distribution située entre les deux conduits d'injection dont les entrées sont les plus proches en amont de la sortie de cette canalisation auxiliaire.  The adverb "directly" means that the inlet of an auxiliary pipe is located between the inlet of the injection pipe to which is connected the output of this auxiliary pipe and the inlet of the preceding injection pipe in the direction of flow of water. In other words, the inlet of an auxiliary pipe is connected to the portion of the distribution pipe located between the two injection pipes whose inputs are the closest upstream of the outlet of this auxiliary pipe.
La canalisation auxiliaire 340 s'étend de manière rectiligne entre l'entrée 340.1 et la sortie 340.2. La canalisation auxiliaire 340.2 a une forme de cylindre à base circulaire. La base circulaire de la conduite auxiliaire 340 a un diamètre D340. Le diamètre D34o dépend de la géométrie du conduit de distribution 20. The auxiliary pipe 340 extends rectilinearly between the inlet 340.1 and the outlet 340.2. Auxiliary line 340.2 has a cylindrical shape with a circular base. The circular base of the auxiliary pipe 340 has a diameter D 340 . The diameter D 34 o depends on the geometry of the distribution duct 20.
L'écoulement d'un débit F340 relativement important permet de compenser efficacement le gradient de pression généré dans le conduit d'injection 34 par l'accélération centrifuge. The flow of a relatively large flow F 340 makes it possible to effectively compensate the pressure gradient generated in the injection duct 34 by the centrifugal acceleration.
L'entrée 340.1 est ici positionnée au droit de l'intersection l34. Plus précisément, l'entrée 340.1 est raccordée au conduit de distribution 20 au voisinage de l'intersection l3 . Cette position de l'entrée 340.1 permet d'utiliser la haute pression disponible au niveau de la partie divergente du conduit de distribution 20 divergent. The entry 340.1 is here positioned to the right of the intersection l 34 . More precisely, the inlet 340.1 is connected to the distribution duct 20 in the vicinity of the intersection l 3 . This position of the inlet 340.1 makes it possible to use the available high pressure at the diverging portion of the diverging distribution duct.
Dans la présente demande, les adjectifs « interne » et « externe » font référence à la courbure de la pièce à laquelle ils se rapportent. En d'autres termes, les adjectifs « interne » et « externe » désignent respectivement la région convexe et la région concave qui bordent cette pièce, telle que le conduit de distribution ou un conduit d'injection. Ainsi, pour le conduit d'injection 34, le bord interne est situé sur la droite de la figure 4 et le bord externe est situé sur la gauche de la figure 4.  In the present application, the adjectives "internal" and "external" refer to the curvature of the part to which they relate. In other words, the adjectives "internal" and "external" respectively designate the convex region and the concave region bordering this part, such as the distribution duct or an injection duct. Thus, for the injection duct 34, the inner edge is situated on the right of FIG. 4 and the outer edge is located on the left of FIG. 4.
Par «transversale » on désigne une section ou un plan transversal(e) à la direction principale d'écoulement de l'eau au niveau de cette section ou de ce plan. La section transversale d'une pièce courbe, telle que le conduit de distribution 20, est donc perpendiculaire à une direction localement tangente à la courbure de cette pièce. By "transverse" is meant a section or a plane transverse (e) to the main direction of flow of water at this section or this plane. The cross-section of a curved piece, such as the conduit of distribution 20, is perpendicular to a direction locally tangent to the curvature of this piece.
De plus, la sortie 340.2 est raccordée à la partie interne du conduit d'injection 34 en aval de la portion oblique 341 qui forme une portion amont de forme convergente pour le conduit d'injection 34. Comme la portion oblique 341 est convergente, la pression diminue, car le fluide accélère.  In addition, the outlet 340.2 is connected to the inner part of the injection duct 34 downstream of the oblique portion 341 which forms an upstream portion of convergent shape for the injection duct 34. Since the oblique portion 341 is convergent, the pressure decreases because the fluid accelerates.
Dans l'exemple des figures 4 à 6, la sortie 340.2 est positionnée à l'extérieur du bâti 5, ce qui facilite le montage de la canalisation auxiliaire 340, car il n'est pas nécessaire de percer le bâti 5. Selon une variante non représentée, une ou plusieurs canalisation(s) auxiliaire(s) traverse(nt) le bâti.  In the example of Figures 4 to 6, the output 340.2 is positioned outside the frame 5, which facilitates the mounting of the auxiliary pipe 340, because it is not necessary to drill the frame 5. According to a variant not shown, one or more auxiliary pipe (s) cross (s) the frame.
Dans le plan méridien P340.i passant par l'entrée 340.1 , c'est-à-dire dans le plan de la figure 7, la position de l'entrée 340.1 sur la circonférence du conduit de distribution 20 est déterminée par un angle dit d'entrée A3 0.i , qui est un angle géométrique mais pas un angle orienté. Le plan méridien P34o.i est qualifié de « méridien » car il comprend l'axe Y. In the meridional plane P 340 passing through the inlet 340.1, that is to say in the plane of FIG. 7, the position of the inlet 340.1 on the circumference of the distribution duct 20 is determined by an angle said input A 30 i, which is a geometric angle but not an angled angle. The meridian plane P 34 oi is called "meridian" because it includes the Y axis.
Com me l e montre l a fig u re 7 , d an s l e pl an m érid ien P340.1 , l'angle d'entrée A340 1 est formé entre la direction radiale R340.i qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe Y et le segment rel iant l 'entrée 340.1 à l 'axe méd ian C2o du conduit de distribution 20 qui est visible à la figure 4 et qui coupe le plan P340 1 de la figure 7 a u ce n tre O20 du conduit de distribution 20. En d'autres termes, l'angle d'entrée A3 0.i est l'angle au centre O20 formé entre l'entrée 340.1 et le plan équatorial P20. Le plan équatorial P20 est perpendiculaire à l'axe Y et parallèle au plan de la figure 4 ; il est qualifié « d'équatorial » car il forme un plan de symétrie pour la forme globalement torique du conduit de distribution 20. As shown in Fig. 7, P340.1, the angle of entry A 340 1 is formed between the radial direction R 340 .i which is perpendicular to the Y axis and the segment connecting the inlet 340.1 to the median axis C 2 o of the distribution duct 20 which is visible in FIG. 4 and which intersects the plane P 340 1 of FIG. 7 with this O20 of the distribution duct 20. In other words, the entry angle A 30 i is the center angle O20 formed between the inlet 340.1 and the equatorial plane P20. The equatorial plane P20 is perpendicular to the Y axis and parallel to the plane of FIG. 4; it is called "equatorial" because it forms a plane of symmetry for the overall toric shape of the distribution duct 20.
Dans l'exemple des figures 4 à 6, l'angle d'entrée A340.i est de 30°. En pratique, l'angle d'entrée A340.i est compris entre 0°et 90°. In the example of FIGS. 4 to 6, the entry angle A 340 .i is 30 °. In practice, the entry angle A 340 .i is between 0 ° and 90 °.
Dans un plan passant par la sortie 340.2 et orthogonal à la direction longitudinale X342, tel que le plan contenant la ligne radiale ll l-ll l à la figure 4 ou 5, la position de la sortie 340.2 est déterminée par un angle dit de sortie , qui est un angle géométrique mais pas un angle orienté. L'angle de sortie est formé entre le plan équatorial P2o du conduit de distribution 20 et le segment reliant la sortie 340.2 à l'axe médian du conduit d'injection 34, en l'occurrence la direction longitudinale X342. Dans l'exemple des figures 4 à 7, l'angle de sortie est de 40°. En pratique, l'angle de sortie est compris entre 0° et 45°. In a plane passing through the output 340.2 and orthogonal to the longitudinal direction X 34 2, such as the plane containing the radial line 11 l-11 l in FIG. 4 or 5, the position of the output 340.2 is determined by an angle called output, which is a geometric angle but not an angled angle. The exit angle is formed between the equatorial plane P 2 o of the distribution duct 20 and the segment connecting the outlet 340.2 to the median axis of the injection duct 34, in this case the longitudinal direction X 34 2. In the example of Figures 4 to 7, the exit angle is 40 °. In practice, the exit angle is between 0 ° and 45 °.
Par ailleurs, dans l'exemple des figures 4 à 8, chaque conduit d'injection 31 à 35 est raccordé à deux canalisations auxiliaires. Comme le montrent les figures 6 et 7, l'ensemble de distribution 1 comporte, pour le conduit d'injection 34, deux canalisations auxiliaires 340.1 et 345.1 qui s'étendent respectivement de part et d'autre du plan équatorial P20.  Moreover, in the example of FIGS. 4 to 8, each injection duct 31 to 35 is connected to two auxiliary ducts. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the distribution assembly 1 comprises, for the injection conduit 34, two auxiliary lines 340.1 and 345.1 which respectively extend on either side of the equatorial plane P20.
La canalisation auxiliaire 345 s'étend symétriquement à la canalisation auxiliaire 340 par rapport au plan équatorial P2o- La description géométrique de la canalisation 340 peut donc être transposée à la canalisation 345. L'entrée 345.1 de la canalisation auxiliaire 345 est positionnée au droit de l'entrée 340.1 suivant l'axe Y. De même, la sortie 345.2 de la canalisation auxiliaire 345 est positionnée au droit de la sortie 340.2 suivant l'axe Y. The auxiliary duct 345 extends symmetrically to the auxiliary duct 340 with respect to the equatorial plane P 2 o. The geometrical description of the duct 340 can therefore be transposed to the duct 345. The inlet 345.1 of the auxiliary duct 345 is positioned at the right of the input 340.1 along the Y axis. Similarly, the output 345.2 of the auxiliary line 345 is positioned at the right of the exit 340.2 along the Y axis.
De plus, l'angle d'entrée et l'angle de sortie caractérisant la canalisation auxiliaire 345 sont respectivement identiques, à l'angle d'entrée et à l'angle de sortie qui caractérisent la canalisation auxiliaire 340.  In addition, the entry angle and the exit angle characterizing the auxiliary pipe 345 are respectively identical to the entry angle and the exit angle that characterize the auxiliary pipe 340.
La figure 8 illustre le conduit d'injection terminal 25 qui prolonge l'extrémité aval du conduit de distribution 20. Le conduit d'injection terminal 25 diffère des conduits d'injection 31 à 34, car il ne forme pas un piquage ou une dérivation depuis le conduit de distribution 20. En d'autres termes toute l'eau s'écoulant dans l'extrémité aval du conduit de distribution 20 sort par le conduit d'injection terminal 35.  FIG. 8 illustrates the terminal injection duct 25 which extends the downstream end of the distribution duct 20. The terminal injection duct 25 differs from the injection ducts 31 to 34 because it does not form a quilting or a bypass from the distribution duct 20. In other words all the water flowing in the downstream end of the distribution duct 20 exits through the terminal injection duct 35.
Le conduit d'injection terminal 35 est également raccordé à deux canalisations auxiliaires, dont l'une est visible à la figure 8 avec la référence 350. L'entrée 350.1 de la canalisation auxiliaire 350 est située sur la partie radialement externe du conduit de distribution 20. En d'autres termes, le rayon du cercle C350.1 centré sur l'axe Y et sur lequel se trouve l'entrée 350.1 est supérieure au rayon du cercle C20 qui définit l'axe médian du conduit de distribution 20, c'est-à-dire le rayon majeur de la portion de tore.  The terminal injection duct 35 is also connected to two auxiliary ducts, one of which is visible in FIG. 8 with the reference 350. The inlet 350.1 of the auxiliary duct 350 is located on the radially outer portion of the distribution duct. 20. In other words, the radius of the circle C350.1 centered on the Y axis and on which the entry 350.1 is located is greater than the radius of the circle C20 which defines the median axis of the distribution duct 20, c that is, the major radius of the torus portion.
La sortie 350.2 de la canalisation auxiliaire 350 est située sur la partie radialement interne du conduit d'injection terminale 35. En d'autres termes, le rayon du cercle C350.2 centré sur l'axe Y et sur lequel se trouve la sortie 350.2 est inférieur au rayon de l'axe médian C20. De telles positions de l'entrée 350.1 et de la sortie 350.2 contribuent à optimiser la compensation de l'accélération centrifuge exercée sur l'eau s'écoulant dans le conduit d'injection terminal 35, ce qui génère un profil uniforme des vitesses mesurées dans le conduit d'injection terminal suivant un plan transversal à la direction longitudinale X352 du tronçon rectiligne 352. The output 350.2 of the auxiliary line 350 is located on the radially inner portion of the terminal injection conduit 35. In other words, the radius of the circle C350.2 centered on the Y axis and on which the output 350.2 is located. is less than the radius of the median axis C20. Such positions of the inlet 350.1 and the outlet 350.2 contribute to optimizing the compensation of the centrifugal acceleration exerted on the water flowing in the terminal injection pipe 35, which generates a uniform profile of the speeds measured in the terminal injection pipe in a plane transverse to the longitudinal direction X 352 of the rectilinear section 352.
Par ailleurs, le conduit de distribution 20 se termine au niveau d'un plan méridien l35 visible à la figure 4 ou 8. Le plan l35 marque une limite de l'angle de tore A20, c'est-à-dire l'extrémité aval du conduit de distribution 20. En d'autres termes, le plan l35 forme l'intersection entre le conduit de distribution 20 et le conduit d'injection terminal 35. Moreover, the dispensing conduit 20 terminates at a meridian plane l 35 visible in Figure 4 or 8. The plan l 35 marks a boundary of the torus angle 20, that is to say the downstream end of delivery conduit 20. in other words, the plane 35 forms the intersection between the dispensing conduit 20 and the injection conduit 35 terminal.
Le diagramme de la figure 3 illustre le profil « aval » des vitesses mesurées dans le conduit d'injection 34 suivant la ligne radiale lll-lll, c'est-à-dire au niveau de la sortie 340.2 ou encore au même niveau que le profil de vitesses illustré à la figure 2. L'écart entre la vitesse moyenne Vm d'une part et la vitesse minimale Vinf ou la vitesse maximale Vsup d'autre part est d'environ 8% de la valeur de la vitesse moyenne Vm. Ce profil de vitesses est donc sensiblement uniforme. The diagram of FIG. 3 illustrates the "downstream" profile of the speeds measured in the injection duct 34 along the radial line III-III, that is to say at the outlet 340.2 or at the same level as the speed profile shown in Figure 2. The difference between the average speed V m on the one hand and the minimum speed V inf or the maximum speed V sup on the other hand is about 8% of the value of the speed average V m . This velocity profile is therefore substantially uniform.
Les paramètres géométriques définis ci-dessus, tels que angles d'entrée et de sortie, permettent donc de déterm iner une canalisation auxiliaire qui contribue à optimiser la compensation de l'accélération centrifuge exercée sur l'eau s'écoulant dans le conduit d'injection 31 à 35 respectif, ce qui génère un profil relativement uniforme des vitesses mesurées dans le conduit d'injection su ivant u n pl an transversal à la d i rection long itudinale X342 du tronçon rectiligne 342. The geometric parameters defined above, such as entry and exit angles, therefore make it possible to determine an auxiliary pipe which contributes to optimizing the compensation of the centrifugal acceleration exerted on the water flowing in the pipe of injection 31 to 35 respectively, which generates a relatively uniform profile of the velocities measured in the injection duct following a pl an transverse to the longitudinal direction X 342 of the rectilinear section 342.
Un ensemble de distribution conforme à la présente invention permet donc de réduire les pertes d'énergie cinétique dans l'écoulement d'eau à l'intérieur de chaque conduit d'injection 31 à 35, donc d'augmenter l'énergie mécanique de rotation transmise à la roue R, ce qu i amél iore le rendement global de la machine hydraulique. Une turbine Pelton conforme à l'invention présente un rendement global amélioré.  A distribution assembly according to the present invention thus makes it possible to reduce the kinetic energy losses in the water flow inside each injection duct 31 to 35, thus increasing the mechanical rotational energy. transmitted to the wheel R, which improves the overall efficiency of the hydraulic machine. A Pelton turbine according to the invention has an improved overall yield.
