- FIG. 20 is a side view similar to Figure 19A, showing only the inverter gate assembly.
- FIG. 1 There is shown in Figures 1 and 2 an aircraft propulsion assembly 1, having a central longitudinal axis Al.
- upstream and downstream are defined in relation to a general direction SI of gas flow through the propulsion assembly 1, along the axis Al when the latter generates thrust. These terms “upstream” and “downstream” could respectively be substituted by the terms “front” and “rear”, with the same meaning.
- the propulsion assembly 1 comprises a turbine engine 2, a nacelle 3 as well as a mast (not shown), intended to connect the propulsion assembly 1 to a wing (not shown) of the aircraft.
- the turbomachine 2 is in this example a turbofan and two-spool engine comprising, from front to rear, a fan 5, a low-pressure compressor 6, a high-pressure compressor 7, a combustion chamber 8, a high pressure turbine 9 and a low pressure turbine 10. Compressors 6 and 7, combustion chamber 8 and turbines 9 and 10 form a gas generator.
- the turbojet engine 2 has a fan casing 11 connected to the gas generator by structural arms 12.
- the nacelle 3 comprises a front section forming an air inlet 13, a middle section which comprises two fan cowls 14 enveloping the fan casing 11, and a rear section 15.
- an air flow 20 enters the propulsion assembly 1 through the air inlet 13, crosses the fan 5 and then divides into a primary flow 20A and a secondary flow 20B.
- the primary stream 20A flows in a primary stream 21A for gas circulation passing through the gas generator.
- the secondary stream 20B flows in a secondary stream 21B surrounding the gas generator.
- the secondary stream 21B is delimited radially inwards by a fixed internal fairing which envelops the gas generator.
- the fixed inner fairing comprises a first section 17 belonging to the middle section 14, and a second section 18 extending rearwards from the first section 17, so as to form part of the rear section 15 .
- This second section 18 is an integral part of a fixed structure of a thrust reverser which will be described below. This same section will subsequently be called wall 18 of radially internal delimitation of the secondary stream 21B.
- the secondary stream 21B is delimited by the fan casing 11, and, in the configuration of FIG. 1, by one or more movable reverser cowls 33 forming part of the rear section 15 of the nacelle. 3, which will be described later. More specifically, between the fan casing 11 and the inverter cowls 33, there is preferably provided here an outer shroud 40' of an intermediate casing 42', the latter comprising the aforementioned structural arms 12, whose radially outer end is fixed on this ferrule 40'. This therefore also participates in delimiting the secondary stream 21B radially outwards, by being located in the downstream axial extension of the fan casing 11.
- the nacelle 3 therefore comprises a thrust reverser 30 centered on the axis Al and comprising on the one hand a fixed structure 31, and on the other hand a structure 29 movable with respect to the fixed structure 31.
- the fixed structure 31 of the reverser comprises a deflection edge 46' carried fixedly downstream by the outer shroud 40' of the intermediate casing, and therefore located in the downstream extension of this shell 40'. Moreover, this shroud 40' as well as the fan casing 11 can be considered as forming part of the fixed structure 31 of the reverser. Radially inward, the fixed structure 31 also comprises the radially internal delimitation wall 18 of the secondary stream 21B. Alternatively, the deflection edge 46' could be carried directly by the downstream end of the fan casing 11, so as to extend the latter axially downstream.
- the mobile structure 29 for its part comprises the aforementioned mobile inverter cowls 33, for example two cowls 33 each extending over an angular amplitude of approximately 180°.
- This configuration with two cowls 33 is particularly well suited in the case of a nacelle design in which the cowls/walls 18 are also mounted articulated, so that the reverser 30 then has a so-called “D” architecture, known as the Anglo-Saxon name "D-Duct".
- D-Duct the Anglo-Saxon name
- C so-called “C” architecture, known under the Anglo-Saxon name “C-Duct”
- O so-called “O” architecture, known under the Anglo-Saxon name -Saxon "0-Duct”.
- Each reverser cowl 33 comprises a radially outer wall 50' forming an outer aerodynamic surface of the nacelle, as well as a radially inner wall 52' participating in the delimitation of the secondary stream 21B radially outwards.
- the mobile structure 29 comprises at least one set 32' of deflection grids 32, the latter being arranged adjacently in a circumferential direction of the reverser and of the propulsion assembly.
- Figure 1 shows the reverser 30 in a forward thrust configuration.
- the two movable cowls 33 and the two sets of grids 32' which are respectively associated with them, are in a closed position, or advanced position, called the forward position of direct thrust of the movable structure 29.
- the grids 32 are housed in a space delimited radially towards the inside by the deflection edge 46', the outer shroud 40' of the intermediate casing, and possibly by the fan casing 11. This space is also delimited radially towards the outside by the fan cowls 14.
- the mobile structure 29 is in axial support forwards against the deflection edge 46', which thus makes it possible to channel the secondary flow 20B towards the rear of the propulsion assembly 1, so as to generate thrust.
- Figure 2 shows the same reverser 30 in a reverse thrust configuration.
- the movable reverser cowls 33 and the whole of the movable structure 29 are in an open position, or retracted position, in which the cowls 33 are longitudinally distant from the deflection edge 46' so as to define a radial opening of the secondary vein 21B.
- Grids 32 extend through this radial opening.
- shutter flaps 34 are deployed radially in the secondary stream 21B via connecting rods 35, so as to direct the secondary flow 20B towards the grids 32.
- the grids 32 and the mobile cowls 33 of the mobile system 29 are represented in a retracted position, corresponding to the retracted thrust reversal position of the mobile structure 29. This therefore turns out to be movable in translation relative to the fixed structure 31 along the axis Al, between the two positions shown in Figures 1 and 2.
- FIG. 3 represents an exploded view in perspective of certain elements of the nacelle 3, among which a part of the fixed structure 31 of the inverter 30, which has the general shape of a ring centered on the axis Al, also corresponding to the longitudinal central axis of the reverser.
- the fixed structure 31 is equipped with elements for guiding the grids 32 during their movement between the advanced and retracted positions, these elements comprising axial rails 40.
- these elements are two rails 40 secured to an upper part of the ring, and two other rails 40 secured to a lower part of this same ring.
- the rails 40 are fixed to the fixed structure 31 by their rear end, while their front end is fixed to another housing (not shown in Figure 3).
- the rails 40 thus ensure, at the circumferential ends of the sets of grids 32 ′, a function of guiding the grids 32 during the axial displacement of the latter, but also, in the thrust reversal configuration, a function of taking up forces aerodynamic, mainly radial and tangential.
- FIG. 3 schematically represents the grids 32, which follow one another along the circumferential direction 43.
- they are grouped into two lateral sets each comprising a plurality of grids 32, these two sets being called sets of deflection grids 32'.
- a single continuous set of grids can be provided, for example by linking the two aforementioned lateral sets to a time position at 6 o'clock or at 12 o'clock.
- each set of grids 32' comprises several deflection grids 32, and extends over an angular sector close to 180°.
- the two sets 32' are preferentially separated laterally from each other at their ends facing two by two, to provide upper and lower spaces respectively dedicated to the passage of the mast 42 and a lower longitudinal beam 44.
- Each set of grids 32' also comprises a rear grid support structure 45, on which is fixed a rear end of each of the deflection grids 32 of the set 32', as well as a front grid support structure 45' , on which is fixed a front end of each of these deflection grids 32 of the assembly 32'.
- the rear and front structures 45, 45' are also called “rear and front grid frames", and they each extend circumferentially all along their associated side assembly 32', according to an identical or similar angular sector as can be seen in FIG. 4.
- the rear end of each grid 32 is therefore intended to be fixed to its associated rear structure 45, by conventional fastening means, just as the front end of each grid 32 is intended to be fixed to its associated front structure 45', still using conventional means.
- the fixed structure 31 also comprises members (not shown) forming radial and/or tangential and/or axial stops for the grids 32 of the assemblies 32'.
- the elements of the nacelle 3 are completed by the articulated covers 18, 33, making it possible to confer the “D” architecture on the nacelle.
- the pivot axis 48 has been shown associated with each inverter cowl 33, this pivot axis 48 being parallel or substantially parallel to the axis Al, and allowing the cowl 33 to be able to rotate between an open maintenance position and a closed flight position, shown in Figure 3.
- Figure 5 shows in more detail a part of one of the two sets of grids 32'.
- the two assemblies 32' have an identical or similar design, being symmetrical with respect to a vertical and longitudinal plane passing through the axis Al. each of these two sets 32'.
- the set of grids 32' comprises axial inter-grid elements 47, 47' arranged between the grids 32, along the circumferential direction 43 of the nacelle and of its reverser 30, and also corresponding to the circumferential direction of the propulsion assembly. , in relation to the axis Al.
- These axial inter-grid elements 47, 47' extend over all or part of the axial length of the assembly 32', and are therefore arranged between the grids 32. With their surface radially outer 49, these elements 47, 47' can form axial sliding tracks for the mobile system 29, as will be detailed below.
- first elements 47 ensuring the function of mechanical junction between the grids 32
- second elements 47' fulfilling an additional function of mechanical reinforcement for an actuator 52 of the inverter.
- Reinforcement 47' can take the form of an axial sheath housing internally at least part of actuator 52, the purpose of which is to move mobile structure 29 between its advanced direct thrust position and its retracted inversion position. of thrust.
- Other forms of reinforcing elements can nevertheless be envisaged, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the rear end of the actuators 52 is intended to be fixed to the rear support structure 45, using dedicated fixing members.
- FIG. 6 there is shown one of the two fan cowls 14 which here has the particularity of being pivotally mounted between an open maintenance position, and a closed flight position shown in this Figure 6.
- the pivoting assembly is achieved using hinges 54 spaced axially from each other, and which jointly define a pivot axis 56 of the cover 14.
- This axis 56 is parallel to the axis Al, or substantially parallel to the latter.
- a symmetrical mounting is provided for the second pivoting fan cowl (not shown in Figure 6). Nevertheless, a solution with fixed fan cowls is also covered by the present invention.
- FIGS. 7 and 9A, 9B and 9C The direct thrust configuration is also represented in FIGS. 7 and 9A, 9B and 9C, while the rear thrust reversal position of the mobile structure 29 is also represented in FIGS. 8 and 10. All of these figures 7 to 10 represent a first preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 8 it is shown that the rear grid support structure 45, located directly upstream of the inverter cowl (not shown), reveals upstream a passage opening 56' in the secondary stream 21B, towards the deflection grilles 32.
- the opening 56' is therefore also delimited upstream by the deflection edge 46', which widens radially outwards going towards the rear, to delimit a flow of air intended to cross the plurality of grids 32 when the mobile system 29 is in this retracted thrust reversal position.
- the deflection edge 46' progressively moves away from the axis A1 going from the front to the rear, to guide/deflect the air towards the plurality of grilles 32 in an inversion configuration. of thrust.
- actuators 52 can be associated with each set of gates 32', but only one of them is visible in figures 7, 8 and 9C, while two actuators 52 are visible in figures 9A, 9B and 10.
- One of the particularities of the invention lies in the fact that an actuator support device 58 is associated with each actuator 52. Only one of these actuator support devices will be described below, in association with its actuator 52, it being understood that all these support devices 58 have the same or similar design.
- the actuator support device 58 comprises at its downstream end a first connection part 60a for its connection to the deflection edge 46', into which this part 60a can moreover be integrated.
- the first connection part 60a could be fixed on the outer shroud 40', preferably in a downstream part thereof, or even at the interface between the outer shroud 40' and the deflection edge 46'.
- these elements 40' and/or 46' form a support structure for the first connection part 60a of the actuator support device 58.
- the device 58 also comprises at its upstream end a second connection part 60b for its connection to a body 52a of the actuator 52, corresponding for example to the cylinder in the case of a jack.
- the second connection part 60b cooperates with a rear end portion of the body 52a of the actuator 52.
- This second connection part 60b is arranged around the fan casing 11, close to 'a junction flange of this casing 11 with the outer shroud 40' of the intermediate casing. This allows the support device 58 and its associated actuator 52 to remain spaced axially, downstream, from a more central zone of the fan casing 11, subject to deformation in the event of an FBO type event on the fan.
- the second connection part 60b cooperates with the rear end portion of the body 52a via a universal joint 62.
- a central part 60c of the actuator support device 58 in the form of an axial beam, runs upstream from the first connection part 60a towards the second connection part 60b. It is moreover the entire actuator support device 58 which is in the general form of an axial beam, extending parallel or substantially parallel to the axis Al. In the radial direction with respect to the axis Al, the central part 60c extends at least partly, and preferably entirely, between the outer shroud 40' and the actuator 58. The beam 60c therefore runs along these elements 40 ', 58, having an axial length greater than that of the shell 40' around which it is located.
- This beam 60c could be cantilevered upstream from the first connection part 60a, but in this first preferred embodiment of the invention, one or more support members in the form of connecting rods 64 are attached to the level of the second connection part 60b. They preferably cooperate with the downstream flange of the fan casing 11, or even with a connecting member secured to this casing and located close to this downstream flange.
- the actuator support device 58 forms a guide means for the set of grids 32', the rear frame 45 of which is connected to the actuator 52 supported by this same device 58.
- the actuator support device 58 has no mechanical connection with the fan cowls, and other nacelle cowls.
- the guide means comprises an axial guide track 66 formed on a radially outer surface of the central part 60c of the support device 58.
- This track 66 cooperates with a complementary axial guide track 66a provided on the set of grids 32' that it guides.
- the complementary track 66a is formed on a radially inner surface of the axial inter-grid element 47′ through which the actuator 52 passes, and on either side of which are arranged two grids 32 of the set of grids 32'.
- the track 66 of the support device 58 supports all or almost all of the axial inter-grid element 47'.
- the rearward thrust reversal position shown in FIG. 8 only a rear end of the track 66 cooperates with a forward end of the rearward complementary track 66a.
- the front grille support frame 45' can thus remain continuous in the circumferential direction 43, all along the assembly 32' to which it belongs.
- the guide means comprises an axial guide slot 68, which preferably extends over the entire length of the central part 60c of the support device 58, or on substantially all of this part.
- the slot 68 emerges circumferentially on either side of the beam 60c, respectively on the sides of the two adjacent angular sectors 45'a of the front frame 45' supporting the grids.
- These two angular sectors 45'a are those which are located respectively on either side of the actuator 52 in the circumferential direction 43, and they are connected to each other by a sliding bridge 70 movably housed in the light 68, in the axial direction.
- the proposed design has the advantage of arranging one or more fixed members 72 for supporting the fan cowl 14, visible in FIG. 13B.
- Each support member 72 is carried by the actuator support device 58, for example by its central beam 60b, and it crosses a space between one of the angular sectors of the front frame 45'a and the actuator 52. in this way, it can protrude radially outwards with respect to the set of grids 32', so as to form a fixed radial support for the fan cowl 14 facing each other.
- the set of grids 32' therefore moves relative to these support members 72, which remain fixed.
- the guide means comprises two axial guide rails 74, which each preferably extend over the entire the length of the central part 60c of the support device 58, or over substantially all of this part.
- the two rails 74 are respectively arranged on two sides circumferentially opposed to the central part 60c.
- the rails 74 have a recess/channel each receiving a sliding member of complementary shape 76.
- the recess/channel channel is no longer on the rails 74, but conversely on the sliding members of complementary shape 76, integral with the circumferential ends of the angular sectors of the front support frame 45'.
- the two sliding members 76 are respectively secured to the two adjacent angular sectors 45'a of the front frame 45', namely those arranged on either side of the actuator 52 according to the circumferential direction 43.
- the adjacent angular sectors 45'a of the front frame 45' are therefore independent of each other, and they connect several grids 32 of the assembly 32' to each other.
- Each support member 72 is carried by the actuator support device 58, for example by its central beam 60b, and it crosses a space between one of the independent angular sectors 45'a, and the actuator 52.
- the thrust reverser 30 can alternately have a “C” or “O” architecture.
- all the embodiments described above can be combined, and their characteristics are interchangeable.
