Definitions
- the present invention relates to turbomachine stators. It relates more particularly to a rectifier architecture in an axial compressor of a turbomachine.
- Axial compressors are well known per se and are used in several types of applications. In particular, they are used in turbojet engines.
- These low or high pressure compressors comprise several stages of rotating blades which are separated by rectifier stages which are intended to reposition the velocity vector of the fluid leaving the preceding stage before sending it to the next stage.
- rectifier stages consist essentially of fixed vanes connecting an outer ferrule to an inner ferrule, both concentric and delimiting the air flow zone or aerodynamic vein.
- the contacts between the platform of the blade and the outer shell may be of planar-curve, curve-curve or plane-plane respectively.
- planar-curve or curve-curve assemblies do not marry perfectly.
- plane-curve type contact it can be easily understood that the two surfaces do not marry perfectly.
- curve-curve type contact the manufacturing tolerances are such that the two surfaces do not have exactly the same radius of curvature and, therefore, do not fit perfectly one of the other.
- a plane-plane type contact where the two surfaces fit perfectly with each other makes it possible to reduce the stresses induced during assembly and to avoid instability of the positioning of the blade around the point of attachment. .
- Requirement EP 1 801 357 A1 has a turbomachine stator vane comprising a blade crown fixed, mounted on an outer shell, each blade having a platform for attachment to the outer shell.
- Blading is characterized in that the outer shell comprises a plurality of individual housings for the platforms, machined in the thickness of the ferrule, the shape of each housing being complementary to that of the corresponding platform.
- the housings are in the form of flat-bottomed recesses and the platforms are in the form of a plate.
- the patent US 6,543,995 B1 has a rectifier where the contact between the platform of the blade and the outer shell is of plane-plane type.
- Flat facets are machined on the outer shell and disposed circumferentially on the side opposite to the aerodynamic stream, and the blade platforms have a flat surface on their inner side (on the blade side).
- the contact between the platform of the blade and the outer shell is on the opposite side to the aerodynamic vein.
- Such an assembly architecture requires machining a series of large openings in the outer shell to allow the passage of the blade through it.
- the disclosed rectifier architecture requires the use of an elastomeric material to fill the interstices between the blade profile and the openings in the outer shell; this in order to obtain a perfectly smooth surface on the side of the aerodynamic vein.
- the present invention aims to provide a solution that makes it possible to overcome the disadvantages of the state of the art.
- the present invention more specifically aims to provide an outer dawn-ferrule assembly architecture where the assembly constraints are reduced.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an exterior dawn-ferrule assembly architecture where the only openings in the outer shell are those required by the fastening systems (rivets, bolts, "lockbolt”, etc.).
- the present invention also aims to provide an outer dawn-ferrule assembly architecture where the platforms are arranged to improve aerodynamic performance.
- the present invention discloses a turbomachine rectifying stage comprising a set of fixed vanes connecting an inner ferrule to an outer ferrule, said fixed vanes having attachment platforms having flat surfaces cooperating with a plurality of juxtaposed plane facets, said facets planes on the inner face of the outer shell to ensure a fixation with a contact plane / plane between the blades and the outer shell.
- the present invention also discloses a method for manufacturing a turbomachine rectifier stage according to claim 4 comprising a resin transfer molding step or a resin transfer cocuring step for the assembly of the outer shell with fixed vanes.
- the figure 1 represents a section of a part of a turbocharger.
- the figure 2 represents a three-dimensional view of two types of exterior dawn-ferrule assembly according to the state of the art.
- the figure 3 represents two three-dimensional views of a contact between a blade platform and an outer shell according to the invention.
- the figure 4 represents a three-dimensional view of the bolting of the blade platform to the outer shell according to the invention.
- the figure 5 represents a three-dimensional view of the bolting of the blade platform to the outer shell according to another embodiment of the invention.
- the figure 6 represents a three-dimensional view of the blade platforms fixed to the outer shell by means of "lockbolts" according to the invention.
- the present invention relates to an architecture for assembling the stator vanes to the outer ferrule in a turbocharger.
- the figure 1 shows a section of a part of a turbocharger where one can see the rotating blades 3 driven by the compressor shaft and the stator vanes 2 attached to the inner ring 4 and outer 5.
- the outer shell instead of being a continuous curved surface, consists of a plurality of plane facets disposed on the side of the aerodynamic stream; the plane facets being juxtaposed.
- the outer shell is formed of a plurality of plane facets on the side of the aerodynamic vein and the opposite side to the aerodynamic stream.
- an outer shell consisting of a plurality of flat segments, the latter being also juxtaposed.
- the outer shell is made of composite material and obtained by a Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) technique.
- RTM Resin Transfer Molding
- the blades comprise a platform having a flat surface on the opposite side to the blade of the blade.
- the contact between the platform of the blade and the plane facets or plane segments of the outer shell is made exclusively on the side of the aerodynamic vein.
- the figure 3 illustrates the planplane type contact between the platform 7 of the blade 2 and the planar segments 10 of the outer shell on the inner face of the outer shell.
- the platforms 7 are arranged side by side to provide a smooth continuous surface to the flow of air which improves the aerodynamic performance compared to a welded configuration where the weld bead opens into the vein.
- the only openings required in the outer shell are those for the attachment systems of the platform of the blade to the inner face of the outer shell.
- the fastening system is a bolted fastener 11 (see FIG. Figures 4 and 5 ). Bolting takes place at the plane facets or flat segments of the outer shell or at the flanges provided for the assembly of ferrules together.
- the figure 4 presents the first configuration.
- a threaded rod integral with the blade passes through the ferrule and is bolted to the outer shell by a nut on the opposite side to the aerodynamic vein.
- an L-shaped flange 8 is integral with the platform of the blade and bolted by connection with the assembly flange 1 of the outer rings 5 (see also FIG. figure 1 ).
- a lockbolt 9 also maintains the platform of dawn in contact with the facet or plane segment of the outer shell.
- the platforms of the blades are assembled to the facets or flat segments of the outer shell only by means of "lockbolts".
- each platform is fixed to the plane segment 10 of the outer shell by means of two "lockbolts" 9.
- the platforms are fixed by means of rivets (not shown).
- the vanes can be secured by means of fastening systems that combine bolted fasteners, rivets and "lockbolts".
- the invention has the advantage that only one or two fasteners, namely the bolted fastener, the rivet or the "lockbolt", are required to attach a blade platform to a flat facet or segment. plan of the outer shell.
- the platforms are glued to the outer shell or the platform of the blade is assembled to the outer shell by co-molding ("cocuring" in English).
- co-molding in English.
- the latter assembly technique is based on the RTM process and consists in simultaneously making the composite parts (blade and outer shell) and the junction between the two parts.
- the plane-plane contact allows a reduction of assembly constraints.
- plane facets or planar segments are directly molded to finished dimensions, which greatly reduces machining operations relative to to the state-of-the-art manufacturing ranges US 6,543,995 B1 where the plane facets or flat segments are milled out of a part roughed by turning and where it is necessary to mill the openings and drillings.
- junction lines between blade platforms are not parallel to the velocity vector of the air flow, the latter being biased relative to the junction lines.
- This has the advantage of restricting the creepage distances with respect to a configuration where the velocity vector of the air flow is parallel to the connecting lines, as is the case in the state of the art. US 6,543,995 B1 , and therefore minimize aerodynamic disturbances.
- the only openings required in the outer shell are those for the mounting holes.
- the outer shell is free of any opening.
- the removal of large openings in the outer shell has the advantage of not reducing the structural strength of the shell. This presents more particularly an advantage for the long fiber composite ferrules where the openings in the ferrule sever the fibers and therefore particularly reduce the mechanical strength of the material.
- the blade assembly is perfectly interchangeable, that is to say that the platform and the fastening system can be identical while having blade profiles or materials. different.
