Abstract

An assembly for a combustion chamber of a turbomachine. The assembly comprises an annular shell extending along a longitudinal axis, the shell having an inner wall intended to be turned towards a furnace of the combustion chamber and an outer wall opposite the inner wall and a projecting element extending radially from an area of the outer wall. The shell has at least one deflector projecting from the outer wall and located downstream of the projecting element with respect to a direction of gas flow along the outer wall, oriented along the longitudinal axis. The deflector extends circumferentially. Perforations are provided axially between the projecting element and the or each deflector.

Claims (21)

1. An assembly for a combustion chamber of a turbomachine, the assembly comprising:

an annular shell extending along a longitudinal axis, said shell comprising an inner wall configured to be turned towards a furnace of the combustion chamber and an outer wall opposite the inner wall;

a projecting element extending radially from an area of the outer wall; and

a plate attached to the shell and forming a part of said shell, the plate comprising:

at least one plurality of deflectors configured as inclined walls integral with and projecting from the outer wall and connected thereto by respective rounded connection areas configured as fillets, the at least one plurality of deflectors located downstream of the projecting element with respect to a direction of gas flow along the outer wall, oriented along the longitudinal axis, wherein each deflector of the at least one plurality of deflectors extends circumferentially, is axially offset from other deflectors, and

perforations arranged axially between the projecting element and each of the at least one plurality of deflectors, axially between the at least one plurality of deflectors and at the respective fillet, and opening at the inner wall and the outer wall.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one plurality of deflectors has a general shape of a curve.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein at least one deflector of the at least one plurality of deflectors extends circumferentially with respect to the projecting element on either side of the projecting element.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein at least some of the perforations are located in the vicinity of the at least one plurality of deflectors.

5. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein at least one deflector of the at least one plurality of deflectors is inclined axially in the upstream direction with respect to the outer wall.

6. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the distance between the outer end of each deflector of the at least one plurality of deflectors and the outer wall of the shell gradually increases in the downstream direction.

7. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting element is mounted or formed on the plate.

8. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting element has means for guiding a spark plug.

9. A turbomachine for an aircraft, the turbomachine comprising the assembly according to claim 1 .

10. An assembly for a combustion chamber of a turbomachine, the assembly comprising:

an annular shell extending along a longitudinal axis, said annular shell comprising an inner wall intended to be turned towards a furnace of the combustion chamber and an outer wall opposite the inner wall; and

a projecting element extending radially from an area of the outer wall,

wherein the annular shell comprises a plurality of deflectors projecting from the outer wall and located downstream of the projecting element with respect to a direction of gas flow along the outer wall, oriented along the longitudinal axis, the plurality of deflectors being arranged concentrically around the projecting element, perforations being provided in the shell, axially between the projecting element and each of the plurality of deflectors, and axially between the plurality of deflectors, with the perforations opening at the inner wall and the outer wall, and

wherein the plurality of deflectors has a last deflector arranged furthest from the projecting element, and all deflectors of the plurality of deflectors other than the last deflector are arranged between the last deflector and the projecting element.

11. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of deflectors are arranged concentrically around the projecting element, the at least one of the plurality of deflectors has a last deflector arranged furthest from the projecting element, and all deflectors of the at least one of the plurality of deflectors other than the last deflector are arranged between the last deflector and the projecting element.

12. The assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the plurality of deflectors are integral with the outer wall.
