Abstract

A device for a turbomachine chamber injector, including a conduit having at least a first opening, and a second opening ( 4 ), a blocking system for blocking the conduit, making it possible to regulate the passage of fluids into the conduit, the blocking system being configured to allow fuel to flow from the first opening to the second opening only from a first pressure of the fuel, for the passage of a supply of fuel, and allow air to flow from the second opening to the first opening only from a second pressure of the air, for the passage of purge air, the second pressure being greater than the first pressure.

Claims (19)

1. A device for combustion chamber injector in a turbomachine, comprising:

a duct having at least:

a first opening, and

a second opening; and

a system for blocking the duct, said system being configured to regulate the passage of fluids in the duct, the blocking system including:

a first head mounted on a first elastic module, said first head being capable of displacing to allow passage of fuel from the first opening to the second opening only from a first pressure of the fuel, for passage of a supply of fuel,

a second head mounted on a second elastic module, said second head being capable of displacing to allow transfer of air from the second opening to the first opening from a second pressure of the air, to allow passage of air from the second opening to the first opening only from the second pressure of the air, for passage of purge air, the second pressure of the air being greater than the first pressure of the fuel, and

a stop allowing blockage of the displacement of the first head in a direction of displacement of the second head,

wherein the first elastic module of the first head is fixed at one end of the second head, such that the displacement of the second head from the second pressure drives the displacement of the first head toward the stop, and

wherein the first head is capable of moving inside the second head.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first head and the second head are capable of moving in translation in the duct, in opposite directions.

3. An assembly including:

a plurality of fuel injection elements, and

a plurality of devices according to claim 1 , the blocking system whereof is configured for passage of fuel from first pressures of different values, such that the injection elements are supplied with fuel from different pressures.

4. An injector for a combustion chamber of a turbomachine, comprising a device according to claim 1 .

5. A turbomachine including a combustion chamber injector according to claim 4 .

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the second head includes a cavity, the first head and the first elastic module are disposed inside the cavity, and the first head moves towards the second opening from the first pressure of the fuel.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the second elastic module surrounds a portion of the second head, a first end of the second elastic module abuts the stop and a second end of the second elastic module abuts an annular crown at an end of the second head.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the annular crown rests against edges of the duct surrounding the second opening.
