Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of sealing systems between two axisymmetric coaxial parts and more particularly two coaxial rotating shafts.
- the present invention relates more particularly to a dynamic sealing device arranged between two coaxial rotating shafts of a turbomachine.
- the sealing device 10 comprises an open elastic carbon segment 5, two metal windows 4 integral with the internal shaft 1 and axially bordering the segment carbon 5 with a clearance J, the axial spacing between the two windows being maintained by a spacer 3 wider than the carbon segment 5.
- the carbon segment 5 is prestressed so as to ensure contact with the sealing flange 2 of the outer shaft. During the rotation of the two shafts, the carbon segment 5 and the sealing flange 2 must be integral.
- the carbon segment 5 may be in contact with one of the metal lenses 4, which implies wear of the device and therefore requires periodic replacements.
- Such a segment involves mounting difficulties because it must be kept compressed to position it in the bore of the sealing flange without risk of damage or breakage of the segment acting as a seal.
- This segment compression operation can also be performed by means of a ribbon wound around the carbon segment maintaining it in a compressed state during the docking of the two rotating shafts.
- the environment of the sealing device becomes inaccessible after docking of the two rotating shafts, the tape is then recovered by one of the ventilation holes of the rotating shaft. This operation remains delicate and its feasibility is dependent on the environment of the sealing device.
- the invention aims to provide a sealing device between two axisymmetric parts, also adapted to operate with co-rotating or counter-rotating rotating shafts, to achieve the docking of two axisymmetric parts, and more specifically two rotating shafts, without the need for tools or specific means (for example without the use of tape).
- a sealing device between two axisymmetric coaxial parts said device comprising:
- annular spacer arranged between said two means of maintained and adapted to maintain spaced said two holding means
- said annular spacer has a notch on its peripheral periphery
- said annular elastic segment comprises, at each of its free ends, hooking means adapted to cooperate with said notch of said annular spacer, and for elastically retaining said elastic segment in a position, called said pre-tensioning position; maintaining, wherein the outer diameter of said elastic segment is smaller than the outer diameter of said elastic segment when in its free state and wherein the central axis of said elastic segment is off-axis with respect to the central axis of said annular spacer.
- the device according to the invention is a coaxial inter-shaft sealing device of a turbomachine which makes it possible to simplify the docking operation between the two shafts and proposes a device adaptable to any turbomachine environment.
- the sealing device between two axisymmetric coaxial parts according to the invention may also have one or more of the following characteristics, considered individually or in any technically possible combination:
- said notch is in the form of a dovetail.
- said two holding means have shoulders adapted to maintain radially said annular spacer; said annular segment is made of carbon;
- said annular segment is metallic.
- the invention also relates to a turbomachine comprising a low pressure rotor and a high pressure rotor characterized in that it comprises a sealing device according to the invention for sealing a chamber between the low pressure shaft and the high pressure shaft.
- the subject of the invention is also a method for docking two coaxial axisymmetric parts comprising a sealing device according to the invention adapted for sealing a chamber between said two axisymmetric parts, said method comprising the steps of :
- the two coaxial axisymmetric parts are two coaxial rotating shafts or two coaxial rotating shafts of a turbomachine.
- FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a view along a longitudinal section plane of a coaxial inter-shaft sealing device according to the invention, pre-positioned on an internal shaft before the docking of the internal shaft and a external shaft of a turbomachine;
- FIG. 3 illustrates a view along the sectional plane A-A illustrated in Figure 2 of the sealing device according to the invention
- FIG. 4a, 4b, 4c show, in a longitudinal sectional plane, a mounting sequence schematically illustrating the behavior of the sealing device according to the invention at different stages of the docking;
- FIG. 5a, 5b and 5c illustrate views along the sectional planes A-A illustrated in Figures 4a, 4b, 4c of the sealing device according to the invention at the different docking steps illustrated in Figures 4a, 4b and 4c.
- FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 represent a sealing device 20, of the carbon seal type, comprising:
- annular elastic segment 24 having an angular opening, two metal windows 22 and 23 integral with an internal rotary shaft 21, in the example illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 5, the internal rotating shaft 21 is the shaft high pressure of the turbomachine (not shown); the metal windows 22, 23 form holding means for axially limiting the displacements of the annular elastic segment 24 while allowing an operating clearance J;
- annular spacer 25 integral with the high pressure shaft 21 for maintaining spaced the two metal windows 22 and 23 during operation of the turbomachine; the annular spacer 25 having on its periphery a notch 27.
- the internal shaft 21 has an annular positioning stop 26 for facilitating the mounting and positioning of the sealing device 20 on the inner shaft 21.
- the elastic segment 24 is a carbon or metal type segment.
- the annular segment 24 has at each of its free ends a specific shape forming hooking means 28a and 28b whose shape is adapted to cooperate with the notch 27 of the annular spacer 25.
- the notch 27 has a shape of dovetail and the hooking means 28a and 28b form hooks adapted to cooperate with the dovetail shape of the notch 27.
- the annular segment 24 When the hooking means 28a, 28b are engaged in the notch 27, the annular segment 24 is held in a position, called pre-holding position, in which the annular segment 24 is radially more compressed only in its position, said free position, and in which the central axis of the annular segment 24 is off-axis with respect to the central axis of the sealing device 20 (ie the axis of rotation of the annular spacer 25, metallic mirrors 22, 23) which corresponds to the axis of rotation axis of the two rotating shafts.
- pre-holding position in which the annular segment 24 is radially more compressed only in its position, said free position, and in which the central axis of the annular segment 24 is off-axis with respect to the central axis of the sealing device 20 (ie the axis of rotation of the annular spacer 25, metallic mirrors 22, 23) which corresponds to the axis of rotation axis of the two rotating shafts.
- the annular segment 24 is held in position by elastic return phenomenon.
- the holding in position by the engagement of the attachment means 28a and 28b with the notch 27 thus prevents the annular segment 24 from returning to its free position in which the outer diameter of the annular segment is greater than the outer diameter of the annular segment. segment in its pre-hold position.
- the annular segment 24 before docking the two coaxial rotating shafts, the annular segment 24 is pre-held in position by springback in a more compressed position than its free state as well as in an off-axis position with respect to the sealing device 20. pre-maintaining the annular segment 24 makes it possible to dispense with the use of additional and specific support means in the docking step of the two shafts 21, 47 that it is necessary to remove once the two shafts coaxial approached.
- the offset of the annular segment 24 facilitates the insertion of the segment in the bore of the sealing flange 37 during docking while performing a recentering and automatic positioning of the segment during docking. Pre-holding the annular segment 24 also ensures that the annular segment 24 will not be damaged or broken during the docking step of the two shafts 21, 47.
- FIGS. 4a, 4b, 4c and 5a, 5b, 5c illustrate the behavior of the sealing device 20 during the docking of the high-pressure internal shaft 21 and the low-pressure external shaft 27 of a turbomachine.
- FIGS. 5a and 5b illustrate the sealing device in position when the docking of the two rotating shafts is achieved.
- the diameter of the bore of the sealing flange 37 of the outer shaft 47 being less than the diameter of the directory segment 24 in its free state and in its pre-maintained state, the docking of the two shafts 21, 47 makes it possible to further constrain the annular segment 24 so as to guarantee the integral contact between the annular segment 24 and
- the shape and width of the fastening means 28a, 28b as well as the shape and positioning of the notch on the spacer are determined so as to achieve an offset and so that a portion of the outer peripheral portion 24f of the segment 24 comes into contact with the engagement cone 31 during the docking of the two rotating shafts. In this way, the docking is carried out without risk of damage to the annular segment 24 made of carbon.
- the invention has been mainly described with a high pressure shaft and a low pressure shaft of a turbomachine; however, the invention is also applicable to other coaxial rotating shafts.
- the device according to the invention is particularly suitable for use with two counter-rotating rotating shafts: however, the invention is also applicable with two co-rotating rotating shafts.
- the invention has been mainly described with two rotating shafts of a turbomachine; however, the invention is also applicable to all axisymmetric coaxial parts, such as for example a rotor and a stator.
