System for controlling variable geometry equipment for a turbine engine, especially by bellcranks
View Patent ↗A system for controlling at least two sets of variable geometry equipment of a turbine engine. The turbine engine includes at least one first body and a second body, the first set of equipment being a stage of variable stator vanes of a compressor of the first body moving between a closed position during idling and an open position at high speed, and the second set of equipment being at least one bleed valve of a compressor of the second body moving between an open position during idling and a closed position at high speed. The actuator drives the second set of equipment by an actuating part that is actuated over part of the course of the actuator and idle on an abutment over the rest of the course, and by a sliding joining element providing a backlash in the actuation of the second set of equipment.
1. A system for controlling at least first and second variable geometry equipment items of a turbine engine, the turbine engine including at least one first body and a second body, the first equipment item being a variable angle stator vane stage of a compressor of the first body moving between a closed position when idling and an open position at high speed, the second equipment item being at least one discharge valve of a compressor of the second body moving between an open position when idling and a closed position at high speed, the system comprising:
an actuator driving a return member including at least two branches and mounted to move on the casing of the turbine engine, a first branch driving the first equipment item and a second branch driving the second equipment item,
wherein the second branch drives in rotation, over part of its travel, an actuation part for the second equipment item and does not drive the actuation part over a remainder of its travel, the actuation part remaining at rest on an end stop.
2. The control system as claimed in claim 1 , in which the first body is a high pressure body and the second body a low pressure body.
3. The control system as claimed in claim 1 , in which the actuator is controlled by a speed of rotation of one of the bodies of the turbine engine.
4. The control system as claimed in claim 2 , in which the actuator is controlled by a speed of rotation of the high pressure body.
5. The control system as claimed in claim 4 , in which the actuation part includes a lever that moves about a rotation axis linked to the casing, a first arm of the lever configured to cooperate with the second branch and with the end stop, and the second branch driving the second equipment item via a sliding junction member forming a dead travel in the actuation of the second equipment item.
6. The control system as claimed in claim 5 , in which the sliding junction member includes a first control member having an oblong hole in which a rod supported by a second control member slides.
7. The control system as claimed in claim 5 , in which the rotation axis of the lever is configured to be displaced along the first arm of the lever.
8. The control system as claimed in claim 6 , in which the first control member is returned by an elastic means toward a position corresponding to absence of cooperation between the second branch and the actuation part.
9. The control system as claimed in claim 4 , in which an actuation band of the second equipment item is included within an operating band of the first equipment item.
10. A turbine engine comprising a control system as claimed in claim 1 .
