Abstract

An assembly for a turbomachine turbine includes at least one ring sector made of CMC material and a support casing including an upstream flange and a downstream flange between which each ring sector is disposed, each ring sector including a base that has a radially external face from which radially extend two lugs, the lugs of each ring sector being retained between the two flanges of the support casing by axial pins each engaged in one of the flanges of the ring support casing and in the lug of the ring sector facing said flange, the assembly further including, for each ring sector, at least one radial retaining pin screwed into the support casing and coming to radially bear against a lug of the at least one ring sector to retain it in position, and anti-rotation system for rotationally locking the radial retaining pin.

Claims (13)

1. An assembly for a turbomachine turbine extending about an axis, the assembly comprising:

at least one ring sector of a turbine ring, the at least ring sector made of ceramic matrix composite material, and

a support casing disposed around the at least one ring sector, the support casing comprising two flanges, respectively an upstream flange and a downstream flange, between which each ring sector of the at least one ring sector is disposed, each ring sector of the at least one ring sector comprising a base that has a radially internal face and a radially external face from which radially extend two lugs, the two lugs of each ring sector of the at least one ring sector being retained between the two flanges of the support casing by axial pins, wherein each axial pin is engaged in one of the two flanges of the ring support casing and in the lug of the ring sector of the at least one ring sector facing the one of the two flanges,

wherein the assembly further comprises, for each ring sector of the at least one ring sector, at least one radial retaining pin extending along a radial direction of the turbine ring, the at least one radial retaining pin being screwed into the support casing and coming to radially bear in said radial direction against a first lug of the two lugs of the at least one ring sector to retain the at least one ring sector in position, and an anti-rotation system adapted to rotationally lock the at least one radial retaining pin,

wherein each radial retaining pin is screwed into a bush fitted in the support casing, and

wherein each radial retaining pin is rotationally locked inside the bush by a radially-inserted split pin, which is disposed between the radial retaining pin and the bush.

2. The assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each radial retaining pin of the at least one radial retaining pin comprises at a periphery thereof at least one blind drill hole, which comprises a first tapped hole, extending in a longitudinal direction of the radial retaining pin of the at least one radial retaining pin so that the radially-inserted split pin is inserted in said first tapped hole between the radial retaining pin of the at least one radial retaining pin and the bush.

3. The assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each radial retaining pin of the at least one radial retaining pin comprises at the periphery a plurality of blind drill holes regularly distributed about a longitudinal axis of the radial retaining pin of the at least one radial retaining pin.

4. The assembly as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each bush comprises a tapped bore for receiving the radial retaining pin of the at least one radial retaining pin, the tapped bore of each bush being provided with at least one second tapped hole extending in a longitudinal direction of the bush so that the radial retaining pin of the at least one radial retaining pin is screwed in said at least one second tapped hole.

5. The assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, for each ring sector of the at least one ring sector, the two lugs are each retained between the two flanges of the support casing by two axial pins of the axial pins, the two axial pins being circumferentially offset from one another, and with each axial pin of the two axial pins is associated a radial retaining pin of the at least one radial retaining pin coming to radially bear against a corresponding lug of the two lugs of the at least one ring sector plumb with the axial pin of the two axial pins.

6. The assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each radial retaining pin of the at least one radial retaining pin comprises a hexagon head recess to allow each radial retaining pin of the at least one radial retaining pin to be screwed into the bush.

7. The assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each bush is fitted in the support casing and retained in the support casing by interference fitting.

8. A turbomachine comprising the assembly as claimed in claim 1 .
