Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly between an aircraft pylon ( 30 ) and a turbomachine ( 20 ) of longitudinal axis (X), the pylon ( 30 ) and the turbomachine ( 20 ) each comprising front and rear longitudinal regions, the assembly comprising a rear support ( 40 ) configured to connect the rear region of the turbomachine ( 20 ) to the rear region of the pylon ( 30 ), the assembly being characterized in that the rear support ( 40 ) comprises a sliding pivot connection arranged between the rear region of the turbomachine ( 20 ) and the rear region of the pylon ( 30 ), so as to allow the turbomachine ( 20 ) only translational and rotational movements along and about the longitudinal axis (X) and along and about a vertical axis (Z) and a rotational movement about a transverse axis (Y).

Claims (11)

1. An assembly between an aircraft pylon and a turbomachine of longitudinal axis, the pylon and the turbomachine each comprising front and rear longitudinal areas, the assembly comprising a rear support configured to connect the rear area of the turbomachine to the rear area of the pylon the assembly being characterised in that the rear support comprises a sliding pivot connection arranged between the rear area of the turbomachine and the rear area of the pylon so as to allow the turbomachine only translational and rotational movements along the longitudinal axis and translational and rotational movements along a vertical axis and a rotational movement along a transverse axis.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the turbomachine comprises a smooth axle extending along the longitudinal axis, and the pylon has a slot oriented along the vertical axis, and wherein the sliding pivot connection is formed by the smooth axle of the turbomachine being configured to slide in the slot of the pylon.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the pylon comprises a smooth axle extending along the longitudinal axis, and the turbomachine has a slot oriented along the vertical axis, and wherein the sliding pivot connection is formed by the smooth axle of the pylon being configured to slide in the slot of the turbomachine.

4. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein the slot of the turbomachine or of the pylon is rectangular or oblong in shape.

5. The assembly according to claim 2 , comprising mechanical stops arranged at the ends of the smooth axle of the turbomachine or of the pylon.

6. The assembly according to claim 2 , comprising elastic means configured to exert a force along the transverse axis on the smooth axle of the turbomachine or of the pylon.

7. The assembly of claim 2 , wherein the smooth axle comprises at least two concentric tubes.

8. The assembly according to claim 1 , comprising a front support configured to connect the front area of the turbomachine to the front area of the pylon, the front support comprising suspension devises extending along the transverse axis and the vertical axis, and links extending along the transverse axis and the vertical axis and forming an articulated connection with the suspension devises, the links being inserted into the suspension devises and passed through by axles extending along the longitudinal axis.

9. A propulsion assembly for an aircraft comprising a turbomachine of longitudinal axis, the turbomachine comprising front and rear longitudinal areas, the propulsion assembly also comprising an assembly according to claim 1 and a cover arranged around the turbomachine, the cover being secured to the turbomachine so that a movement of the turbomachine causes a movement of the cover.

10. An aircraft comprising an assembly according to claim 1 .

11. An aircraft comprising a propulsion assembly according to claim 9 .
