Abstract

The present disclosure aims at achieving a mounting of a turbomachine stator blading while avoiding a delicate machining process of the engine casing. It also aims at simplifying the mounting as well as at reducing the costs, and at decreasing the number of item references for the engine. To achieve these objects, the turbomachine uses an extension of the engine casing. A turbomachine comprises at least one stator blading for air or gas stream flowing on the internal engine casing. The stator blading comprises a rim which is assembled on a radial extension of engine casing with an axial fastener. In a preferred embodiment of the turbomachine, the engine casing presents an annular wall provided with fingers originating axially from this wall and extending according to a curvature so that they present a radial extension tip against the rim of the stator blading.

Claims (12)

1. A turbomachine engine casing comprising:

an annular extension in the form of an annular wall; and

a radial extension in the form of a radial wall,

wherein the annular wall is provided with fingers which extend the annular wall axially and present tips in radial extension which can rest on a rim of a stator blading, which rim is mounted on the radial wall into an insertion gap formed between the radial wall and the finger radial tips, and a geometry of the fingers and the insertion gap is calculated so that the fingers exert a pressure against the rim within a range achieving a firm holding of the stator blading while allowing a tilting of the stator blading downstream and upstream.

2. The turbomachine engine casing according to claim 1 , wherein the fingers originate axially from the annular wall then extend according to a curvature so that the fingers present radially extending tips.

3. The turbomachine engine casing according to claim 1 , wherein the fingers are evenly distributed along the annular wall.

4. The turbomachine engine casing according to claim 1 , wherein the fingers are palmate.

5. A turbomachine comprising the stator blading mounted on the engine casing according to claim 1 , the rim of the stator blading assembled on the radial wall of the engine casing with an axial fastener.

6. The turbomachine according to claim 5 , wherein the stator blading is divided into adjacent sectors of elementary rims, and the fingers are distributed on the annular wall so that each of the fingers is in contact with two adjacent elementary rims.

7. The turbomachine according to claim 5 , in which the stator blading is one of nozzle guide vanes for exhaust gas of a turbomachine turbine and an air straightener of a turbomachine compressor.

8. The turbomachine according to claim 7 , wherein the turbomachine turbine is an HP turbine.

9. The turbomachine engine casing according to claim 1 , wherein the fingers have different lengths.
