Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly ( 1 ) for a turbine of a turbomachine, comprising: a first rotor disk ( 20 a ), a second rotor disk ( 20 b ), a part forming a mobile ring ( 28 ), comprising a system for preventing rotation of the mobile ring ( 28 ) relative to the rotor disks ( 20 a, 20 b ), said system comprising: a rotor disk securing flange ( 222 ) having a plurality of teeth ( 224 ) that are distributed circumferentially about the turbomachine longitudinal axis (X-X), and a mobile ring securing flange ( 282 ) having a plurality of lugs ( 284 ) that are distributed circumferentially about the turbomachine longitudinal axis (X-X), the engagement of the rotor disk securing flange ( 222 ) with the mobile ring securing flange ( 282 ) ensuring, by means of the teeth ( 224 ) and the lugs ( 284 ), that the mobile ring ( 28 ) does not rotate relative to the rotor disks ( 20 a, 20 b ).

Claims (27)

1. An assembly comprising:

a first rotor disc centered on a longitudinal axis;

a second rotor disc centered on the longitudinal axis and bolted to the first rotor disc;

a movable ring carrying radial sealing wipers; and

a system comprising:

a rotor disc fastening flange having a plurality of teeth distributed circumferentially around the longitudinal axis; and

a movable ring fastening flange having a plurality of lugs distributed circumferentially around the longitudinal axis, the movable ring fastening flange engaging the rotor disc fastening flange in order to prevent a rotation of the movable ring relatively to the first rotor disc and the second rotor disc,

wherein either the teeth of the rotor disc fastening flange are radial and the lugs of the movable ring fastening flange are axial, the teeth of the rotor disc fastening flange protruding radially from an outer surface of the rotor disk fastening flange, or the teeth of the rotor disc fastening flange are axial and the lugs of the movable ring fastening flange are radial, the lugs of the movable ring fastening flange protruding radially from an inner surface of the movable ring fastening flange.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the system comprises a plurality of grooves, each lug of the plurality of lugs being separated from an adjacent lug of the plurality of lugs by a groove of the plurality of grooves, the plurality of teeth cooperating with the plurality of grooves.

3. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein one of the first rotor disc and the second rotor disc comprises lunulae formed at a fastener between the first rotor disc and the second rotor disc, each lunula of the lunulae opening onto a groove of the plurality of grooves.

4. The assembly claim 1 , further comprising a seal configured to isolate a first cavity formed between the movable ring and the first rotor disc, and a second cavity formed between the movable ring and the second rotor disc.

5. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the rotor disc fastening flange is formed on the first rotor disc.

6. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the rotor disc fastening flange is formed on the second rotor disc.

7. A turbomachine comprising the assembly of claim 1 .

8. An assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second rotor disc is fastened to the first rotor disc by a bolted connection, wherein the first rotor disc and the second rotor disc are in contact with each other at said bolted connection.

9. A method for mounting an assembly comprising:

a first rotor disc centered on a longitudinal axis and comprising a downstream shroud;

a second rotor disc centered on the longitudinal axis;

a movable ring carrying radial sealing wipers; and

a system comprising:

a rotor disc fastening flange having a plurality of teeth distributed circumferentially around the longitudinal axis; and

a movable ring fastening flange having a plurality of lugs distributed circumferentially around the longitudinal axis,

wherein either the teeth of the rotor disc fastening flange are radial and the lugs of the movable ring fastening flange are axial, the teeth of the rotor disc fastening flange protruding radially from an outer surface of the rotor disk fastening flange, or the teeth of the rotor disc fastening flange are axial and the lugs of the movable ring fastening flange are radial, the lugs of the movable ring fastening flange protruding radially from an inner surface of the movable ring fastening flange;

the method comprising:

engaging the plurality of teeth with the plurality of lugs; and

fastening the movable ring on the downstream shroud.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising providing an axial clearance between the movable ring fastening flange and the rotor disc fastening flange.
