Description
La présente invention concerne un étage de turbine dans une turbomachine telle en particulier qu'un turboréacteur ou un turbopropulseur d'avion.The present invention relates to a turbine stage in a turbomachine such as in particular an airplane turbojet or turboprop.
Une turbomachine comprend plusieurs étages de turbine comportant chacun un distributeur formé d'une rangée annulaire d'aubes fixes de redressement et une roue à aubes montée rotative en aval du distributeur dans une enveloppe cylindrique ou tronconique formée par des secteurs d'anneau disposés circonférentiellement bout à bout. Le premier de ces étages est un étage haute-pression et les autres étages situés en aval sont des étages basse-pression.A turbomachine comprises a plurality of turbine stages each comprising a distributor formed of an annular row of stationary vanes and a rotor wheel rotatably mounted downstream of the distributor in a cylindrical or frustoconical envelope formed by ring sectors arranged circumferentially at the end. The first of these stages is a high-pressure stage and the other stages downstream are low-pressure stages.
Il est important que les jeux radiaux entre les roues à aubes et les secteurs d'anneau correspondants soient optimisés, pour améliorer le rendement de la turbomachine et pour éviter tout frottement des extrémités des aubes sur les secteurs d'anneau, qui se traduirait par une usure de ces extrémités et par une dégradation du rendement de la turbomachine à tous les régimes de fonctionnement.It is important that the radial clearances between the paddle wheels and the corresponding ring sectors be optimized, to improve the efficiency of the turbomachine and to avoid any friction of the ends of the blades on the ring sectors, which would result in wear of these ends and degradation of the efficiency of the turbomachine at all operating speeds.
Les secteurs d'anneau qui entourent la roue à aubes de l'étage haute-pression comprennent à leurs extrémités amont et aval des moyens d'accrochage coopérant avec des moyens correspondants prévus sur un support annulaire disposé entre les secteurs d'anneau et le carter de turbine.The ring sectors which surround the impeller of the high-pressure stage comprise at their upstream and downstream ends hooking means cooperating with corresponding means provided on an annular support disposed between the ring sectors and the casing. of turbine.
En fonctionnement, les gaz chauds sortant de la chambre de combustion de la turbomachine s'écoulent à travers le distributeur de l'étage haute-pression et exercent sur celui-ci une poussée axiale vers l'aval. Ce distributeur a tendance à se déplacer vers l'aval et à venir en appui par sa périphérie externe sur le support annulaire des secteurs d'anneau et à le pousser vers l'aval, ce qui entraîne des variations des jeux radiaux entre les aubes mobiles de la roue et les secteurs d'anneau.In operation, the hot gases leaving the combustion chamber of the turbomachine flow through the distributor of the high-pressure stage and exert on it an axial thrust downstream. This distributor tends to move downstream and come to bear by its outer periphery on the annular support of the ring sectors and to push downstream, resulting variations of the radial clearances between the blades. of the wheel and ring sectors.
Une solution à ce problème consiste à rigidifier le support annulaire en le formant d'une seule pièce avec un carter support situé en aval des secteurs d'anneau et permettant de suspendre le distributeur du premier étage basse-pression au carter de turbine.One solution to this problem is to stiffen the annular support by forming it in one piece with a support housing located downstream of the ring sectors and for suspending the distributor of the first low-pressure stage to the turbine housing.
Cependant, cette solution présente de nombreux inconvénients. Le support annulaire et les secteurs d'anneau sont reliés fixement au carter support. Il n'est donc pas possible d'optimiser les jeux radiaux entre les aubes mobiles et les secteurs d'anneau en fonction du régime de la turbomachine. De plus, le carter de turbine est soumis en fonctionnement à des circulations d'air de refroidissement non uniformes sur sa périphérie qui font apparaître des gradients de température importants sur le carter, ce qui entraîne des déformations du carter appelées « distorsions de carcasse » et se traduisent par des déplacements du carter support et des secteurs d'anneau accrochés sur le support annulaire. Les déplacements des secteurs d'anneau sont aléatoires et non maîtrisés et provoquent des variations des jeux radiaux entre les aubes mobiles et les secteurs d'anneau de l'étage haute-pression qui réduisent les performances de la turbomachine.However, this solution has many disadvantages. The annular support and the ring sectors are fixedly connected to the support casing. It is therefore not possible to optimize the radial clearances between the blades and the ring sectors as a function of the speed of the turbomachine. In addition, the turbine casing is subjected in operation to non-uniform cooling air circulations on its periphery which show significant temperature gradients on the housing, resulting in deformations of the housing called "carcass distortions" and result in movements of the support housing and ring sectors hung on the annular support. The displacements of the ring sectors are random and uncontrolled and cause variations in the radial clearances between the blades and the ring sectors of the high-pressure stage which reduce the performance of the turbomachine.
Une autre solution au problème précité consiste à fixer le support directement sur le carter de turbine. Cependant, cette solution n'est pas non plus satisfaisante car pour assurer une bonne rigidité axiale de ce support, ses moyens de fixation ont en générai un encombrement axial très important. Par ailleurs, cette solution ne permet pas de résoudre les problèmes de déplacements des secteurs d'anneau liés aux distorsions de carcasse du carter de turbine.Another solution to the problem mentioned above is to fix the support directly on the turbine casing. However, this solution is not satisfactory either because to ensure good axial rigidity of this support, its fastening means generally have a very large axial size. Moreover, this solution does not make it possible to solve the problems of displacement of the ring sectors related to carcass distortions of the turbine casing.

La demande
L'invention a notamment pour but d'apporter une solution simple, efficace et économique à l'ensemble des problèmes de la technique antérieure.The invention aims in particular to provide a simple, effective and economical solution to all the problems of the prior art.
Elle propose à cet effet un étage de turbine dans une turbomachine, comprenant des secteurs d'anneau agencés autour d'une roue de turbine et suspendus à un carter de turbine par un support annulaire, caractérisé en ce que le support annulaire comprend des moyens d'accrochage des secteurs d'anneau et des moyens de fixation sur le carter de turbine, reliés par deux parois annulaires coaxiales reliées l'une à l'autre et s'étendant l'une à l'intérieur de l'autre, ce support ayant en section une forme en V ou en U et étant déformable élastiquement en direction radiale pour absorber au moins en partie les déformations du carter de turbine en fonctionnement.It proposes for this purpose a turbine stage in a turbomachine, comprising ring sectors arranged around a turbine wheel and suspended from a turbine casing by an annular support, characterized in that the annular support comprises means for attaching the ring sectors and fastening means on the turbine casing, connected by two coaxial annular walls connected to one another and extending one to the inside of the other, this support section having a V-shaped or U-shaped and being elastically deformable in the radial direction to absorb at least part of the deformations of the turbine casing in operation.
Selon l'invention les secteurs d'anneau sont suspendus au carter de turbine par un support annulaire déformable en direction radiale de manière à absorber au moins en partie les distorsions de carcasse du carter externe afin que l'enveloppe formée par les secteurs d'anneau conserve un diamètre sensiblement constant en fonctionnement. L'invention permet de conserver un jeu radial sensiblement constant entre la roue et les secteurs d'anneau de l'étage haute-pression, ainsi qu'au niveau des bords d'attaque et de fuite des aubes mobiles de cette roue. Le support annulaire a de plus une bonne rigidité axiale de sorte qu'il peut résister sans se déformer à l'appui axial du côté amont du distributeur de l'étage haute-pression soumis à la poussée des gaz de combustion.According to the invention the ring sectors are suspended from the turbine casing by a radially deformable annular support so as to at least partially absorb the carcass distortions of the outer casing so that the casing formed by the ring sectors keeps a substantially constant diameter in operation. The invention makes it possible to maintain a substantially constant radial clearance between the wheel and the ring sectors of the high-pressure stage, as well as at the leading and trailing edges of the blades of this wheel. The annular support has moreover a good axial rigidity so that it can withstand without deformation in the axial support of the upstream side of the distributor of the high-pressure stage subjected to the thrust of the combustion gases.
Lle support élastiquement déformable comprend deux parois annulaires coaxiales reliées l'une à l'autre à une extrémité et s'étendant l'une à l'intérieur de l'autre, ce support ayant en section une forme en V ou en U à sommet orienté vers l'amont ou vers l'aval.The elastically deformable support comprises two coaxial annular walls connected to one another at one end and extending one inside the other, this support having a V-shaped or U-shaped section with a cross-section. oriented upstream or downstream.
En fonctionnement, les deux parois coaxiales du support peuvent se rapprocher ou s'écarter l'une de l'autre pour amortir les distorsions de carcasse du carter de turbine. La jonction entre les deux parois est conformée pour se déformer élastiquement et assurer au support une fonction de ressort. Cette structure à double paroi permet également de renforcer la rigidité axiale du support des secteurs d'anneau.In operation, the two coaxial walls of the support can move toward or away from one another to damp the carcass distortions of the turbine casing. The junction between the two walls is shaped to deform elastically and provide the support a spring function. This double wall structure also makes it possible to reinforce the axial rigidity of the support of the ring sectors.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, le support annulaire a en section une forme en V et comporte deux parois tronconiques respectivement interne et externe. La paroi tronconique interne peut par exemple s'étendre depuis des moyens d'accrochage des secteurs d'anneau radialement vers l'extérieur et vers l'amont jusqu'à la paroi tronconique externe qui s'étend radialement vers l'extérieur et vers l'aval. Dans ce cas, le support définit une rainure annulaire qui débouche axialement vers l'aval.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the annular support has a V-shaped cross-section and has two frustoconical walls respectively internal and external. The frustoconical wall For example, the internal portion may extend from hooking means of the ring sectors radially outwards and upstream to the outer frustoconical wall which extends radially outwards and downstream. In this case, the support defines an annular groove which opens axially downstream.
Selon un second mode de réalisation de l'invention, le support annulaire a en section une forme en U et comporte deux parois sensiblement cylindriques respectivement interne et externe. La paroi cylindrique interne peut être reliée à son extrémité amont à des moyens d'accrochage des secteurs d'anneau et à son extrémité aval à l'extrémité aval de la paroi cylindrique externe. Le support définit ici une rainure annulaire orientée axialement vers l'amont.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the annular support has a U-shaped cross-section and comprises two substantially cylindrical walls, respectively internal and external. The inner cylindrical wall may be connected at its upstream end to hooking means of the ring sectors and at its downstream end to the downstream end of the outer cylindrical wall. The support here defines an annular groove oriented axially upstream.
Préférentiellement, la paroi externe comporte une bride annulaire radialement externe de fixation sur le carter de turbine.Preferably, the outer wall comprises a radially outer annular flange for attachment to the turbine casing.
Avantageusement, la paroi interne est raccordée à une extrémité amont des moyens d'accrochage des secteurs d'anneau de manière à renforcer la rigidité axiale du support.Advantageously, the inner wall is connected to an upstream end of the hooking means of the ring sectors so as to reinforce the axial rigidity of the support.
La jonction entre les parois interne et externe peut avoir a une forme incurvée en C définissant une surface annulaire concave et une surface annulaire convexe. Cette jonction comprend avantageusement une nervure annulaire s'étendant sensiblement axialement depuis sa surface annulaire convexe pour rigidifier la zone de jonction des deux parois et répartir les contraintes dans cette zone. Cette nervure annulaire a par exemple une forme cylindrique centrée sur l'axe de révolution du support.The junction between the inner and outer walls may have a C-shaped curved shape defining a concave annular surface and a convex annular surface. This junction advantageously comprises an annular rib extending substantially axially from its convex annular surface to stiffen the junction area of the two walls and distribute the stresses in this area. This annular rib has for example a cylindrical shape centered on the axis of revolution of the support.

L'invention concerne aussi un support annulaire de secteurs d'anneau dans un étage de turbine d'une turbomachine, caractérisé en ce qu'il a une section en U ou en V et comprend à sa périphérie interne des moyens d'accrochage des secteurs d'anneau, et à sa périphérie externe une bride annulaire radialement externe.The invention also relates to an annular support of ring sectors in a turbine stage of a turbomachine, characterized in that it has a U or V section and comprises at its inner periphery hooking means of the ring sectors, and at its outer periphery a radially outer annular flange.

Les secteurs d'anneau 20 sont suspendus au carter de turbine 22 par l'intermédiaire d'un support annulaire 50 qui est logé dans une enceinte annulaire 52 délimitée à l'amont par la paroi annulaire 29 de la chambre de combustion 14 et à l'aval par la paroi tronconique 36 de la pièce de support 32. Ce support annulaire comprend à sa périphérie interne des moyens d'accrochage 54 des secteurs d'anneau 20 et à sa périphérie externe des moyens 72 de fixation sur le carter de turbine 22.The
Selon l'invention, ce support annulaire 50 est déformable élastiquement en direction radiale pour amortir au moins en partie les distorsions de carcasse auquel est soumis le carter de turbine 22 en fonctionnement de la turbomachine, afin que l'enveloppe cylindrique formée par les secteurs d'anneau 20 conserve un diamètre sensiblement constant.According to the invention, this
Le support annulaire 50 comprend à sa périphérie interne deux parois annulaire radiales 57, 58, respectivement amont et aval, qui sont reliées l'une à l'autre par une paroi cylindrique 60. Les parois radiales 57, 58 comprennent à leurs extrémités radialement internes des rebords cylindriques 62 orientés vers l'aval qui coopèrent avec des crochets circonférentiels 63, 64 prévus aux extrémités amont et aval des secteurs d'anneau 20. Un organe annulaire de verrouillage 66 à section en C est engagé axialement depuis l'aval sur le rebord cylindrique aval 62 du support et sur les crochets aval 64 des secteurs d'anneau pour assurer le verrouillage de l'ensemble.The

La paroi cylindrique interne 68 s'étend autour de la paroi cylindrique 60 des moyens d'accrochage, à distance de celle-ci, et est reliée à son extrémité amont à l'extrémité radialement externe de la paroi radiale amont 57 des moyens d'accrochage. L'extrémité aval de la paroi interne 68 est raccordée à l'extrémité aval de la paroi cylindrique externe 70 qui a une plus faible dimension axiale que celle de la paroi interne 68 et qui s'étend autour d'une partie aval de la paroi interne 68, à distance de celle-ci. La jonction 74 entre les parois interne 68 et externe 70 a une forme incurvée en C. L'extrémité amont de la paroi externe 70 est reliée à une bride annulaire radialement externe 72 qui est serrée entre la bride 26 du carter externe 28 et les brides 38, 24 de la pièce de support 32 et du carter de turbine 22.The internal
En fonctionnement de la turbomachine, les carters 28 et 22 ne sont pas ventilés et refroidis de manière uniforme sur leur périphérie ce qui engendre des gradients de température importants sur ces carters et se traduit par des distorsions de carcasse. Le support annulaire 50 de fixation des secteurs d'anneau 20 permet d'amortir ces distorsions par déformation élastique de sa partie médiane en direction radiale. Cette déformation se traduit par le rapprochement ou l'éloignement des parois 68, 70 en direction radiale. Ce support est suffisamment rigide en direction axiale pour pouvoir résister sans se déformer à la poussée axiale exercée du côté amont par le distributeur 16 de l'étage haute-pression, ce distributeur prenant appui en 76 par sa périphérie externe sur la face amont de la paroi radiale amont 57 du support. Les jeux radiaux 78 entre les aubes de la roue 18 et les secteurs d'anneau 20 peuvent ainsi être réglés avec précision, en particulier en fonction des différents régimes de fonctionnement de la turbomachine.In operation of the turbomachine, the
