Intermediate casing extension for an aircraft jet engine, comprising a sectorised annular groove for receiving the nacelle covers
View Patent ↗An extension of an intermediate casing for an aircraft jet engine, intended to project towards the downstream end from an external shell of said intermediate casing is disclosed. This extension includes an annular connecting downstream end forming an annular groove open radially towards the outside, intended to receive nacelle covers. The annular connecting downstream end is produced by a plurality of angular sectors.
1. An extension of an intermediate casing for an aircraft jet engine, intended to project towards a downstream end from an external shell of said intermediate casing, said extension comprising:
an annular connecting downstream end forming an annular groove open radially towards an outside, intended to receive nacelle covers,
wherein said annular connecting downstream end is produced by means of a plurality of angular sectors.
2. The extension according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of angular sectors is greater than or equal to three.
3. The extension according to claim 1 or claim 2 , further comprising a joining shell secured to said angular sectors forming said annular connecting downstream end, said joining shell being situated upstream of said angular sector and intended to extend a downstream end of the external shell of the intermediate casing.
4. The extension according to claim 3 , wherein said joining shell is produced in a single piece, on which the angular sectors forming said annular connecting downstream end are mounted.
5. The extension according to claim 4 , characterised in that wherein the angular sectors forming said annular connecting downstream end are mounted by screwing on said joint shell.
6. The extension according to claim 3 , wherein said joining shell is produced by means of a plurality of other angular sectors, each produced in a single piece with one of said angular sectors forming said annular connecting downstream end.
7. The extension according to claim 1 , characterised in that wherein said plurality of angular sectors forming said annular connecting downstream end are produced, in alternation in said circumferential direction, from a first material and a second material.
8. A jet engine for an aircraft, comprising an intermediate casing equipped at the downstream end of its external shell with an extension according to claim 1 .
9. A propulsion assembly for an aircraft comprising:
a jet engine according to claim 8 ; and
a nacelle comprising nacelle covers cooperating with said annular groove open radially towards the outside.
10. A propulsion assembly according to claim 9 , further comprising an attachment strut for said jet engine comprising a rigid structure and means of attaching said jet engine to said rigid structure, said nacelle covers being articulated on said rigid structure.
