Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement of internal ends of a stage of variable-pitch blades.
- So called blades related to a stator but whose inclination can be changed at will to deflect or straighten more or less the flow of gas passing through them to obtain the best performance characteristics at different speeds of the machine in which they are located.
- the outer ends of these blades are then supported by a bearing formed in the wall of the stator, and the inner ends, close to the rotor, are retained in a common connecting ring.
- the invention is therefore characterized, compared to this prior art, by the combination of a threaded sleeve engaged in the connecting ring and serving as a bearing for the pivot and of brake parts engaged both in the notches of the pivots and sockets to hold them in rotation.
- FIG. 1 A circular stage of blades 1 with variable setting is therefore shown in FIG. 1; he is located between two stages of movable vanes 2, linked to a rotor 3, while the variable-pitch vanes 1 are linked to a stator wall 4 at their external ends 5, where they end in an external pivot 6 passing through a bearing 7 cleaning through the wall of the stator 4, and, beyond this wall, by a head 8 of square or other section which is gripped by a lever, not shown, articulated to a control ring surrounding the turbomachine.
- the control ring When the control ring is rotated, it switches the control levers and therefore rotates the external pivots 6 and the blades 1.

Abstract
Description
L'invention a trait à un agencement d'extrémités internes d'un étage d'aubes à calage variable.The invention relates to an arrangement of internal ends of a stage of variable-pitch blades.
On appelle ainsi des aubes liés à un stator mais dont l'inclinaison peut être modifiée à volonté pour dévier ou redresser plus ou moins le flux de gaz qui les traverse afin d'obtenir les meilleures caractéristiques de rendement aux différents régimes de la machine dans laquelle elles sont situées. Les extrémités externes de ces aubes sont alors soutenues par un palier ménagé dans la paroi du stator, et les extrémités internes, proches du rotor, sont retenues dans un anneau de liaison commun.So called blades related to a stator but whose inclination can be changed at will to deflect or straighten more or less the flow of gas passing through them to obtain the best performance characteristics at different speeds of the machine in which they are located. The outer ends of these blades are then supported by a bearing formed in the wall of the stator, and the inner ends, close to the rotor, are retained in a common connecting ring.
Un agencement connu et décrit en particulier dans le brevet français 2 556 410 consiste à pourvoir les extrémités internes des aubes de pivots qui tournent dans des douilles solidaires de l'anneau ; ces douilles peuvent notamment présenter une surface externe filetée, ce qui permet de les visser dans des évidements de l'anneau. L'anneau est alors soutenu, mais des glissements des pivots dans les douilles et par rapport à l'anneau restent possibles si bien que l'anneau peut jouer dans la veine des gaz et nuire ainsi au bon fonctionnement de la machine.A known arrangement, described in particular in French patent 2,556,410, consists in providing the internal ends of the blades with pivots which rotate in sockets integral with the ring; these sockets can in particular have a threaded external surface, which allows them to be screwed into recesses in the ring. The ring is then supported, but sliding of the pivots in the sockets and relative to the ring remains possible so that the ring can play in the gas flow and thus affect the proper functioning of the machine.
Dans d'autres conceptions, telle que celle du brevet 2 644 525, des pivots d'aubes (à vrai dire, des pivots de l'extrémité externe) sont retenus dans des paliers par des pièces de frein, c'est-à-dire des pièces d'arrêt du mouvement de translation des pivots dans les paliers. Mais pas plus que dans le cas précédent, on ne peut régler une position convenable des aubes, qui sont alors retenues à une position fixe par rapport à la pièce qui les porte.In other designs, such as that of patent 2,644,525, blade pivots (actually, pivots of the outer end) are retained in bearings by brake parts, i.e. say parts for stopping the translational movement of the pivots in the bearings. But no more than in the previous case, we can not adjust a suitable position vanes, which are then retained in a fixed position relative to the part which carries them.
L'invention se caractérise donc, par rapport à cet art antérieur, par la combinaison d'une douille filetée engagée dans l'anneau de liaison et servant de palier au pivot et de pièces de frein engagées à la fois dans des encoches des pivots et des douilles pour les retenir en rotation.The invention is therefore characterized, compared to this prior art, by the combination of a threaded sleeve engaged in the connecting ring and serving as a bearing for the pivot and of brake parts engaged both in the notches of the pivots and sockets to hold them in rotation.
Il est ainsi possible de régler la position axiale des aubes dans l'anneau en vissant plus ou moins profondément les douilles, ce qui serait inopérant dans le brevet 2 556 410 où le filetage n'est qu'un moyen de retenue des douilles ; il est alors indiqué qu'une butée de réglage de position des aubes par rapport à l'anneau ne se produise plus entre une plate-forme des aubes et les douilles comme dans ce brevet mais par une butée de ces plates-formes contre l'anneau lui-même, ou de préférence contre une pièce de palier butant contre l'anneau.It is thus possible to adjust the axial position of the blades in the ring by screwing the bushings more or less deeply, which would be inoperative in patent 2,556,410 where the threading is only a means of retaining the bushings; it is then indicated that a stop for adjusting the position of the blades relative to the ring no longer occurs between a platform of the blades and the bushings as in this patent but by a stop of these platforms against the ring itself, or preferably against a bearing piece abutting against the ring.
De préférence, les encoches de pivots sont circulaires, les encoches de douilles sont rectilignes et tangentes aux encoches de pivot et les pièces de frein sont des barrettes glissées dans les encoches de douilles.Preferably, the pivot notches are circular, the socket notches are rectilinear and tangent to the pivot notches and the brake parts are bars slid into the socket notches.
L'invention va maintenant être décrite plus en détail à l'aide des figures suivantes, annexées à titre illustratif et non limitatif :
- la figure 1 est une vue générale de l'étage d'aubes,
- la figure 2 représente l'agencement conforme à l'invention,
- et la figure 3 est une coupe suivant la ligne III-III sur la figure 2.
- FIG. 1 is a general view of the blade stage,
- FIG. 2 represents the arrangement in accordance with the invention,
- and Figure 3 is a section on the line III-III in Figure 2.
On a représenté donc un étage circulaire d'aubes 1 à calage variable sur la figure 1 ; il est situé entre deux étages d'aubes mobiles 2, liés à un rotor 3, alors que les aubes 1 à calage variable sont liées à une paroi de stator 4 à leurs extrémités externes 5, où elles se terminent par un pivot externe 6 traversant un palier 7 ménage à travers la paroi du stator 4, et, au-delà de cette paroi, par une tête 8 à section carrée ou autre qui est saisie par un levier, non représenté, articulé à un anneau de commande entourant la turbomachine. Quand l'anneau de commande est mis en rotation, il fait basculer les leviers de commande et fait donc tourner les pivots externes 6 et les aubes 1.A circular stage of
Les extrémités opposées ou extrémités internes 9 des aubes 1 sont liées entre elles par un anneau de liaison 10 associé au rotor 3 par un joint à labyrinthe 11 qui établit l'étanchéité interdisant aux gaz en mouvement dans la veine de contourner les aubes à calage variable 1 ; l'anneau de liaison 10 porte des évidements taraudés 12 dans lesquels des douilles filetées 13 sont engagées par vissage ; il vient en prolongement de plates-formes annulaires 23 des aubes mobiles 2 pour délimiter la veine d'écoulement des gaz de façon aussi continue et lisse que possible. Si on commence à se reporter à la figure 2, on voit que les douilles 13 comprennent un perçage central 14 dans lequel un pivot 15, terminant une aube 1 respective de ce côté, est engagé en pouvant à la fois y coulisser et y tourner. Comme le mouvement de translation a la conséquence défavorable qu'il laisse l'anneau de liaison 10 flotter et perturbe donc le joint à labyrinthe 11 en approchant ou éloignant ses parties solidaires du rotor 3 et du stator, tout en détruisant l'alignement entre l'anneau de liaison 10 et les plates-formes 23 des aubes mobiles 2, on interdit ce mouvement par un dispositif visible également à la figure 3 et composé essentiellement d'une barrette 16 rectiligne, engagée dans une encoche rectiligne 17 qui traverse horizontalement (c'est-à-dire perpendiculairement au pivot 15) la douille 13 de part en part et affleure dans le perçage 14, où elle est tangente à une rainure circulaire 18 ménagée autour du pivot 15 : la barrette 16 occupe donc une partie de cette rainure circulaire 18 et freine la translation du pivot 15.The opposite ends or internal ends 9 of the
Une rondelle 19 servant de palier de butée est retenue entre une plate-forme 20 plane de l'aube 1, de laquelle le pivot interne 15 se dresse, et une plate-forme 21 également plane et perpendiculaire au pivot interne 15 de l'anneau de liaison 10.A
La position d'enfoncement correcte du pivot interne 15 dans l'anneau de liaison 10 est ainsi établie en tournant une tête polygonale 22 établie au fond de la douille 13, ce qui modifie le vissage de la douille 13 et donc la hauteur du pivot interne 15. Le joint à labyrinthe 11 est ensuite serti dans un rail circulaire 24 dans l'anneau de liaison 10 ; le rail 24 porte une languette 25 qui vient toucher un pan de la tête polygonale 22 et interdit alors à la douille 13 de se déplacer pendant le fonctionnement de la machine. L'épaisseur de la rondelle 19 est choisie en fonction du réglage souhaité.The correct insertion position of the
La barrette 16 peut être pleine ou évidée au centre, et métallique ou en matière composite à base de carbone ; ce sont ces dernières possibilités qui sont préférées, car elles permettent de réduire les efforts à l'assemblage.The
