Turbomachine casing
View Patent ↗A turbomachine casing including a substantially cylindrical wall and an annular one-piece acoustic insulation panel mounted inside the wall, the panel including an annular surface that is radially external opposite a radially internal annular surface of the wall, wherein the wall includes on its internal angular surface first projecting members which bear axially against second projecting members belonging to the external annular surface of the panel and which are fixed to these second members in a dismountable manner.
1. A turbomachine casing haying a longitudinal axis and comprising:
a substantially cylindrical wall; and
an annular one-piece acoustic insulation panel mounted inside the substantially cylindrical wall, about said longitudinal axis, the acoustic insulation panel comprising an external annular surface which is radially external opposite a radially internal annular surface of the substantially cylindrical wall,
wherein the radially internal annular surface of the substantially cylindrical wall comprises first projecting members which are supported parallel to said longitudinal axis by second projecting members of the external annular surface of the acoustic insulation panel and which are fixed to such second projecting members in a removable manner, and
wherein the first and second projecting members comprise fixing lugs located in a space which extends between said acoustic insulation panel and said substantially cylindrical wall, said fixing lugs being distributed radially around said longitudinal axis so as to form annular rows of lugs, the respective annular rows of lugs being axially spaced one from another.
2. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the first projecting members are fixed to the second projecting members via screw-nuts.
3. The casing according to claim 2 , wherein each of the screw-nuts extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the casing.
4. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing lugs are foil wed in one piece with the substantially cylindrical wall and the acoustic insulation panel, respectively, or are fixed to the substantially cylindrical wall and to the acoustic insulation panel, respectively.
5. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the lugs of the substantially cylindrical wall are at least partly accommodated in recesses of the internal annular surface of the substantially cylindrical wall, and/or the lugs of the acoustic insulation panel are at least partly accommodated in grooves of the external annular surface of the acoustic insulation panel.
6. The casing according to claim 1 , wherein the lugs each comprise a radial surface for bearing on another lug and a flat or substantially cylindrical centering surface intended to cooperate with said another lug.
7. The casing according to claim 6 , wherein the flat or cylindrical surfaces of the lugs of the substantially cylindrical wall are made of a machinable material so as to correct a possible defect, if any, of cylindricality of the internal annular surface of the substantially cylindrical wall.
8. A turbomachine comprising a casing according to claim 1 .
9. A turbomachine casing having a longitudinal axis and comprising:
a substantially cylindrical wall; and
an annular one-piece acoustic insulation panel mounted inside the substantially cylindrical wall, about said longitudinal axis, the acoustic insulation panel comprising an external annular surface which is radially external opposite a radially internal annular surface of the substantially cylindrical wall,
wherein the radially inner annular surface of the substantially cylindrical wall comprises first projecting members which are supported parallel to said longitudinal axis by second projecting members of the external annular surface of the acoustic insulation panel and which are fixed to such second projecting members in a removable manner,
wherein the first and second projecting members comprise fixing lugs, the first projecting members are fixed to the second projecting members via screw-nuts, and
wherein said screw-nuts each extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the casing, and said screw-nuts are radially distributed on lugs forming annular rows of lugs, said annular rows of lugs being axially spaced one from another.
