Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure and isolation valve located at the outlet of the oil tank of an aircraft engine and to its pneumatic control system.
  • turbomachines in general, and in particular those, like turboprop engines, which are likely to have a total stop, or a very low residual speed of the rotation shaft. , after shutdown of the engine in flight and with the exception of those equipped with an electric starter.
  • oil systems may have valves for different purposes.
  • Valves regulating the supply of oil into the equipment to be lubricated are known in the event of failure of one of the components of the lubrication circuit, thus avoiding irreparable damage to the engine.
  • the oil circuit comprises in parallel an emergency lubrication system with an oil tank whose inputs and outputs are regulated by valves.
  • the Inlet and outlet valves are open and the oil in the tank is continuously renewed and supplies, in addition to the circuit, the equipment to be lubricated.
  • the pressure drop in the circuit causes the closing of the inlet valve, and the tank empties, via the outlet valve, thus allowing the equipment to be powered anyway.
  • the tank is empty at a reduced speed compared to the normal operating mode so as to feed the equipment for as long as possible until the tank has been completely emptied.
  • the solenoid type outlet valve cycles with an open position and a closed position or is only partially open.
  • Valves are also known to close the oil circuit at the engine stop, to prevent leakage through the pump (anti-siphon function). Valves are also known to close the oil circuit during an accidental shutdown of the engine in flight, to protect the equipment in case of fire in the engine.
  • shut-off valve having a function of closing and isolating the oil circuit, being in the form of an electrically controlled valve.
  • a shut-off valve having a function of closing and isolating the oil circuit, being in the form of an electrically controlled valve.
  • such a valve has only a fire function, but not anti-leakage, the latter function being provided by other organs.
  • the presence of an oil circuit interruption valve, type anti-siphon valve is indeed also necessary during the normal shutdown of the engine, the closure thereof to prevent the tank from closing. oil will empty through the circuit to the low points of the engine.
  • a valve of the aforementioned type requires not only a source of electrical power, but also control logic at the engine or the aircraft.
  • the control computer is saturated in some aircraft or nonexistent when the regulation is servo-mechanical.
  • the present invention aims to provide a solution that makes it possible to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a single isolation valve ensuring the dual anti-fire and anti-siphon function, operated at each stop and starting of the engine, following a normal stopping or stopping of the engine in flight.
  • the present invention relates to a turbomachine comprising an air compressor and a lubrication circuit comprising an oil reservoir, said oil reservoir being able to be isolated from the rest of the lubrication circuit by means of an isolation valve comprising a pneumatic control for maintaining the valve in the open and closed position when the turbine engine is in operation respectively and kept at a standstill, and for respectively closing and opening the valve during the stopping and starting of the turbomachine, said valve of insulation being characterized in that it is provided with a device for automatically selecting as command, among two sources of pressurized air, the one which is higher pressure.
  • the first source of pressure is the air pressure coming from the compressor.
  • the second pressure source is the pneumatic control corresponding to a start signal of the turbomachine, in particular the control air pressure of a pneumatic motor starter.
  • the isolation valve is controlled by one or the other of the two pressurized air sources, via a shuttle valve, whose two inlet doors are respectively connected to said two sources of pressure. pressurized air and the outlet door is connected to the isolation valve.
  • the isolation valve is a flapper valve provided with a bellows jack.
  • the invention finds a particularly suitable application when the turbomachine is a turboprop.
  • the isolation valve makes it particularly advantageous to isolate the oil reservoir on the one hand from the rest of the turboprop lubrication circuit and on the other hand from the rest of the lubrication circuit.
  • a turboprop reduction gearbox a turboprop reduction gearbox.
  • the figure 1 is a schematic view of the control system of a pneumatic valve closing the oil tank outlet in an aircraft engine, according to the present invention.
  • the system proposed according to the invention and represented on the figure 1 uses the pneumatic energy, for example that generated by the compressor 3 or that supplying the starter 8, to open an isolation valve 7 of the oil tank 1, closed at rest, ensuring both the protection of the circuit of oil in case of fire and an anti-siphon function.
  • the isolation valve 7 is advantageously a valve valve connected to a jack bellows, which ensures its tightness while minimizing friction.
  • the valve 7 is actuated either by the air pressure supplying the starter 9 or by that of the compressor 10, according to the position of a "shuttle" valve or incorporated 7A shuttle valve , which automatically selects the source of the highest pressure.
  • This shuttle valve has two input gates connected in this case respectively to the air pressure supplying the starter and that of the compressor and an output port connected to the isolation valve 7. A ball shuttle between the two seats corresponding to the two entrance doors, the seat corresponding to the highest pressure being free.
  • isolation valve 7 is open either when the engine is running or at the start. It is closed at rest or during a failure of the engine pressure in flight.
  • the shuttle valve 7A can be advantageously adjusted without bias or with a bias to pass the starting transients of the engine.
  • the isolation valve 7 closes as soon as there is no more air pressure, under the action of a return spring 7B.
  • the oil tank is put in communication with the equipment of the lubrication circuit of the engine 2, via the pipe 4A and the pump 4 and, via the pipe 6A and the pump 6, with the reduction box ( power gear box ) 5, which has in this case exposed its own lubrication circuit.
