Abstract

An adapting part is designed to be held on a casing of a turbo-engine, partially covering the casing. The adapting part includes, in the extension of one of its axial ends, a first connector to engage with a first complementary connector associated with the casing to form a sliding connection. The adapting part also includes, at its other axial end, a second connector to be secured to a second complementary connector associated with the casing to form a rigid connection.

Claims (29)

1. An adapting part designed to transmit forces between a tubular casing of a turbo-engine and a suspension of the turbo-engine to a pylon of an aircraft, by partially covering the tubular casing, the adapting part comprising:

a hoop portion of predetermined angular sector;

suspension devises arranged on a face of the hoop portion which faces outwards and designed to connect the adapting part to the suspension;

in an extension of a first axial end of the adapting part, a projecting tab extending axially from the hoop portion and configured to engage with a groove of a connecting member associated with said tubular casing to form an axial sliding connection; and

at a second axial end of the adapting part, a flange configured to be secured to a flange of said tubular casing to form a rigid connection,

wherein the projecting tab is entirely circular or extends circumferentially over the predetermined angular sector.

2. The adapting part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the flange is entirely circular or extends circumferentially over the predetermined angular sector.

3. The adapting part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predetermined angular sector of the hoop portion is equal to 120°.

4. A system, comprising:

an adapting part comprising:

a hoop portion of predetermined angular sector;

suspension devises arranged on a face of the hoop portion which faces outwards and designed to connect the adapting part to the suspension;

in an extension of a first axial end of the adapting part, a projecting tab extending axially from the hoop portion; and

at a second axial end of the adapting part, a flange,

wherein the projecting tab is entirely circular or extends circumferentially over the predetermined angular sector:

a tubular casing of a turbo-engine arranged for holding, to the tubular casing, the adapting part;

a groove of a connecting member associated with said tubular casing which engages with the projecting tab of the adapting part to form an axial sliding connection in a first axial end of the tubular casing; and

a flange of said tubular casing which engages with the flange of the adapting part to form a rigid connection in a second axial end of the tubular casing.

5. The system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the connecting member is fitted on one end flange of said tubular casing.

6. The system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the connecting member radially extends to one end flange of said tubular casing.

7. A suspension for a turbo-engine on a pylon of an aircraft, comprising:

a front suspension bracket mounted on an intermediate casing of the turbo-engine;

a rear suspension bracket mounted on an inter-turbine casing of the turbo-engine; and

wherein an adapting part as claimed in claim 1 connects the rear suspension bracket to the inter-turbine casing of the turbo-engine.

8. A turbo-engine attached to a pylon of an aircraft, comprising:

a front suspension bracket mounted on an intermediate casing of the turbo-engine;

a rear suspension bracket mounted on an inter-turbine casing of the turbo-engine; and

a system as claimed in claim 4 ,

wherein the adapting part of the system connects the rear suspension bracket to the inter-turbine casing of the turbo-engine.
