Abstract

A turbine shroud ring sector for a turbomachine supported at the upstream end by a downstream support of a turbine casing with circular sliding including a first stop able to collaborate with a second stop borne by an element of the turbomachine adjacent to the shroud ring in order to immobilize the shroud ring circularly is disclosed. The sector includes, on an end facing the element, a recess able to allow the second stop to pass to come into contact with the first stop. The recess is cut substantially in the form of a rectangle having, at the bottom of the recess, corners that are rounded in a circular arc of radius r. The bottom of the recess has a convex shape tangential to the circular arcs of the rounded corners and with a curvature that evolves between a radius of curvature r where it meets the rounded corners and a radius of R, greater than the radius r, at a point situated between the two rounded corners.

Claims (16)

1. A turbine shroud ring sector for a turbomachine supported at an upstream end by a downstream support of a turbine casing with circular sliding, comprising a stop able to collaborate with a second stop borne by an element of said turbomachine adjacent to said shroud ring in order to immobilize said shroud ring circularly, said turbine shroud ring sector comprising;

on an end facing said element, a recess able to allow said second stop to pass to come into contact with said first stop, said recess including first and second sides extending into said ring sector and a third side at a bottom of the recess connecting the first and second sides, the bottom of the recess having corners between the first and third sides and second and third sides that are rounded in a circular arc of radius r,

wherein the third side at the bottom of the recess has a convex shape tangential to the circular arcs of the rounded corners and with a curvature that evolves between a radius of curvature r at a first point where the bottom of the recess connects with one of the rounded corners and a radius of R, greater than the radius r, at a second point situated between the two rounded corners.

2. The turbine shroud sector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third side at the bottom of said recess has at least one circular arc portion of radius R.

3. The turbine shroud ring sector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third side at the bottom of said recess has at least two circular arcs tangential to one another, with radii R 1 and R 2 , both greater than r, R 2 being greater than R 1 , and the circular arc of radius R 1 being tangential to the circular arc of radius r of one of the rounded corners.

4. The turbine shroud ring sector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third side at the bottom of said recess has a shape of two helixes each having a tangent in common with one of the circular arcs of the rounded corners, and the curvature of which varies continuously from the radius r to the radius R.

5. The turbine shroud ring sector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radius R is greater than the radius r by a factor of at least 5.

6. The turbine shroud ring sector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the radius R is greater than the radius r by a factor of at least 5.

7. The turbine shroud ring sector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the radius R is greater than the radius r by a factor of at least 5.

8. The turbine shroud ring sector as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the radius R is greater than the radius r by a factor of at least 5.

9. The turbine shroud ring sector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radius R is greater than the radius r by a factor of at least 10.

10. The turbine shroud ring sector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the radius R is greater than the radius r by a factor of at least 10.

11. The turbine shroud ring sector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the radius R is greater than the radius r by a factor of at least 10.

12. The turbine shroud ring sector as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the radius R is greater than the radius r by a factor of at least 10.

13. A turbine module for a turbomachine comprising at least one turbine ring shroud sector as claimed in one of the preceding claims.

14. A turbomachine comprising a turbine module as claimed in the preceding claim.
