Assembly comprising a protection device and a turbine machine element for protecting
An assembly including a protection device and an element of a turbine engine for protecting, for example, an oil tank including a magnetic particle detector, the protection device including a flexible protection blanket placed on and closed around the element for protecting and including eyelets that are engaged on fastener studs provided on the blanket or on the element for protecting. The protection device further includes at least one cable carrying an attachment mechanism for attaching to the fastener studs to prevent the studs being withdrawn from the eyelets in the blanket.
1. An assembly comprising:
an oil tank including a magnetic particle detector;
a flexible protection blanket placed on and closed around the oil tank, the flexible protection blanket including eyelets that are engaged on fastener studs provided on the flexible protection blanket or on the oil tank;
a cable; and
a first pin and a second pin carried by the cable and attached to the fastener studs to prevent the fastener studs from being withdrawn from the eyelets in the flexible protection blanket,
wherein the first pin is mounted so as to be movable along the cable,
wherein an end of the cable is fixedly attached to the second pin,
wherein, in a first state of the assembly, the first and second pins are closed such that the magnetic particle detector is not accessible, and
wherein, in a second state of the assembly, the first pin is open and the second pin is closed such that the magnetic particle detector is accessible and the cable is suspended by the second pin.
2. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second pins include branches for passing through holes in the fastener studs.
3. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the end of the cable includes an end loop in which the second pin is engaged.
4. An assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the the second pin engaged in the end loop of the cable forms an abutment which prevents the first pin from being withdrawn from the cable.
5. An assembly according to claim 1 , comprising at least two cables connected together via the second pin.
6. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the cable includes braiding wires and is surrounded by a sheath, or a heat-shrink sheath.
7. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the cable and the first and second pins are made of stainless steel.
8. An assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the branches include a first branch and a second branch connected together at a first end by a loop forming a torsion spring between the first and second branches, and a free second end of the first branch includes a hook which receives a free second end of the second branch when the first and second branches are brought together, and
wherein the first and second pins are engaged with the cable via the loop.
