Abstract

A device for axially holding a ring spacer sector of a high-pressure turbine of a turbomachine, said spacer sector comprising an upstream radial wall provided with an outer upstream tongue for being engaged in a corresponding upstream groove of a casing of the turbine, and with an inner upstream tongue for being engaged in a corresponding upstream groove of a ring sector, said device comprising a piece of longitudinally-extending sheet metal that constitutes a heat shield disposed upstream from the upstream radial wall of the spacer sector against an inner surface of the casing, the piece of longitudinally-extending sheet metal bearing axially against the upstream radial wall of the spacer sector and being secured to the casing so as to hold the spacer sector axially.

Claims (7)

1. A device for axially holding a ring spacer sector of a high-pressure turbine of a turbomachine, wherein said spacer sector comprises:

an upstream radial wall provided with an outer upstream tongue for being engaged in a corresponding upstream groove of a casing of the high-pressure turbine, and with an inner upstream tongue for being engaged in a corresponding upstream groove of a ring sector; and

a downstream radial wall provided with an outer downstream tongue for being engaged in a corresponding downstream groove of the casing of the high-pressure turbine, and with an inner downstream tongue for being secured to the ring sector;

the device comprising a piece of longitudinally-extending sheet metal that constitutes a heat shield disposed upstream from the upstream radial wall of the spacer sector against an inner surface of the casing, wherein the piece of longitudinally-extending sheet metal bears axially against the upstream radial wall of the spacer sector and is secured to the casing so as to hold the spacer sector axially.

2. A device according to claim 1 , comprising a thermal liner placed between the inner surface of the casing and the piece of longitudinally extending sheet metal.

3. A device according to claim 1 , comprising a reflective lining disposed on an inner surface of the piece of longitudinally-extending sheet metal.

4. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the piece of sheet metal is secured to the casing by at least one nut-and-bolt system.
