Turbomachine with bleed valves located at the intermediate case
View Patent ↗An assembly including an intermediate case of a bypass turbojet engine and of an inter-jet case extending upstream of the intermediate case to separate a primary air jet of the turbojet engine from its bypass air jet, the inter-jet case including, passing through it, a closable duct for diverting part of the primary flow to the bypass flow thereby forming a blow-off valve for the LP compressor, the intermediate case including arms passing across the bypass flow and the inter-jet case in its internal cavity including a first chamber situated upstream of the arms and a second chamber situated level with the arms, the duct being open or closed off by an annular component capable of axial movement set in motion by an arm that can rotate about a fixed pivot under action of a control cylinder, the cylinder being positioned in the second chamber.
1. An assembly comprising:
an intermediate case of a bypass turboduct engine; and
an inter-duct case including an edge provided upstream of the intermediate case to separate a primary air duct of the turboduct engine from a bypass air duct, the inter-duct case including, passing therethrough, a closable duct for diverting part of a primary flow to a bypass flow, thereby forming a bleed valve for a low pressure compressor,
wherein the intermediate case comprises arms passing through the bypass duct,
wherein the inter-duct case comprises in an inner cavity thereof a first chamber situated upstream of the arms and, a second chamber situated at a same axial location as the arms,
wherein the closable duct is opened or closed by an annular component capable of axial movement set in motion by an angled arm that can rotate about a fixed pivot under action of a control cylinder entirely positioned in the second chamber, and
wherein the annular component is located in the first chamber and the control cylinder includes a rod connected to the angled arm, and wherein a longitudinal axis of the control cylinder extends in a substantially tangential direction relative to an engine axis.
2. The assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rod is movable in substantially the circumferential direction relative to the engine axis so as to move the angled arm in rotation about the fixed pivot.
3. The assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control cylinder is mounted in a manner freely rotatable about an axis oriented radially.
4. The assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rod of the control cylinder is directly connected to the angled arm.
5. The assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixed pivot is located in the second chamber.
6. A bypass turboduct engine comprising:
an assembly comprising an intermediate case and an inter-duct case as claimed in claim 1 ; and
the bleed valve for the low pressure compressor functions by diversion of part of the primary flow circulating in the primary air duct to the bypass air duct, via the closable duct that can be closed via the annular component capable of axial movement.
7. The assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second chamber includes a circumferential succession of elementary chambers which are separated from each other by the arms.
8. The assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the control cylinder includes an end opposite the rod, said opposite end is connected to a second pivot around a radial axis extending radially from the inner wall of the inter-duct case such that the control cylinder moves freely in rotation in a plane tangential to the inter-duct case and the end of the rod follows the axial movements of the second end of the angled arm.
9. The assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the control cylinder includes an end opposite the rod, said opposite end is connected to a second pivot around a radial axis extending radially from the inner wall of the inter-duct case such that the control cylinder moves freely in rotation in a plane tangential to the inter-duct case and the end of the rod follows the axial movements of the second end of the angled arm.
