Turbine engine comprising means for supporting at least one item of equipment
View Patent ↗Turbine engine, comprising means for absorbing the thrust forces from its engine, which comprise longitudinal connecting rods, the ends of which are connected to structural annular casings of the turbine engine, characterized in that it comprises means for supporting at least one item of equipment on said thrust-absorbing connecting rods and/or for suspending at least one item of equipment from said thrust-absorbing connecting rods.
1. A turbine engine, comprising:
a system for suspending a downstream end of the turbine engine to an aircraft strut, said system absorbing thrust forces and comprising two longitudinal thrust-absorbing connecting rods, upstream ends of the thrust-absorbing connecting rods being connected to an upstream structural annular casing of the turbine engine, and downstream ends of the thrust-absorbing connecting rods being connected to a downstream structural annular casing of the turbine engine,
wherein a support is fixed on the two longitudinal thrust-absorbing connecting rods and extends substantially therebetween, the support carrying or supporting at least one item of equipment which is fixed to or suspended from said thrust-absorbing connecting rods.
2. The turbine engine according to claim 1 , wherein the support comprises a support plate substantially coplanar with the thrust-absorbing connecting rods.
3. The turbine engine according to claim 2 , wherein the support plate is fixed on the connecting rods by clamping collars or bolted connections.
4. The turbine engine according to claim 2 , wherein the support plate carries at least two items of equipment.
5. The turbine engine according to claim 1 , wherein the thrust-absorbing connecting rods present an angle therebetween.
6. The turbine engine according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting rods have a circular, square or rectangular cross section.
7. The turbine engine according to claim 1 , wherein the upstream ends of the thrust-absorbing connecting rods are connected to the upstream structural annular casing of the turbine engine which includes a hub of an intermediate casing, and the downstream ends of the thrust-absorbing connecting rods are connected to the downstream structural annular casing of the turbine engine which includes a downstream suspension connected to a ring mounted around an inter-turbine casing.
8. The turbine engine according to claim 2 , wherein the item of equipment passes through the support plate.
9. The turbine engine according to claim 2 , wherein sides of the support plate abut the connecting rods.
10. The turbine engine according to claim 2 , wherein the support plate is trapezoidal in shape.
11. The turbine engine according to claim 2 , wherein the support plate is located at a distance from ends of the thrust-absorbing connecting rods.
