Bearing support having a geometry for easier evacuation of casting cores
The invention relates to a turbomachine bearing support ( 1 ) supporting at least one bearing and extending according to a longitudinal principal axis of the turbomachine and comprising: a truncated part ( 11 ) having a diameter increasing from upstream to downstream; a flange part ( 12 ) which extends from the truncated part ( 11 ) as far as the bearing ( 5, 6 ) to which it is fixed by an axial flange ( 121 ), and having at its downstream end a radial internal flange ( 17 ) fixed to an oil inlet cover defining with the bearing ( 5, 6 ) an oil inlet container ( 170 ); oiled air clearance ducts ( 71 ) projecting downstream relative to the flange part ( 12 ) and on the oil inlet container ( 170 ) and to the other side upstream of the flange part ( 12 ) directly radially externally relative to the axial flange ( 121 ).
1. A turbojet bearing support that supports at least one bearing, said support extending according to a longitudinal principal axis corresponding to a longitudinal axis of a turbomachine and comprising:
a truncated part having a diameter increasing from upstream to downstream;
a flange part which extends from the truncated part as far as the bearing to which it is fixed by an axial flange, the flange part having at its downstream end a radial internal flange fixed to an oil inlet cover defining with the bearing an oil inlet container;
a plurality of oiled air clearance ducts projecting from the flange part;
the bearing support comprising the oiled air clearance ducts projecting downstream relative to the flange part terminate to one side on the oil inlet container and to the other side upstream of the flange part directly radially external relative to the axial flange and wherein the distance which separates an external surface of the axial flange and an internal edge of oiled air clearance holes, at the level of which the oiled air clearance ducts terminate upstream of the flange part, is substantially zero.
2. The turbojet bearing support according to claim 1 , wherein the axial flange extends parallel to the axis of the turbomachine, the axial flange forming the internal edge of the flange part.
3. The turbojet bearing support according to claim 1 , wherein the oiled air clearance ducts each advantageously have a transversal cross-section substantially of a form among rectangular, circular and oval forms.
4. The turbojet bearing support according to claim 1 , comprising four oiled air clearance ducts, in particular regularly angularly distributed along the principal axis of the bearing support.
5. The turbojet bearing support according to claim 1 , whereof the flange part is truncated, its diameter decreasing downstream.
6. A manufacturing method of a bearing support according to claim 1 , comprising the following steps:
making a mould comprising one or more cores and corresponding to a hollow imprint of the bearing support,
casting of metal brought to the liquid state and poured in the mould;
extracting the cores in the principal axis of the bearing support.
7. The manufacturing method of a bearing support according to claim 6 , wherein the extracting the cores is automated.
8. A mould for moulding a bearing support, comprising one or more cores and corresponds to a hollow imprint of the bearing support according to claim 1 .
