    Description
    PREFORM DRAPING FOR COMPRESSOR COMPRESSOR CASING
    AXIAL TURBOMACHINE
    Technical Field [0001] The invention relates to preforms for composite walls. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of draping the fibrous folds of a fiber preform for a composite wall. The invention also relates to a turbomachine comprising a casing with a composite wall. The invention also relates to a fibrous ply drape installation of a preform for a composite wall.
    PRIOR ART [0002] The transport sector uses composite materials in order to benefit from their lightness, while ensuring optimum mechanical strength. Some composite materials include an organic matrix reinforced with a fibrous preform. The latter may include a stack of woven fibrous folds, using intertwined threads.
    The mechanical strength of such a composite can be estimated using software. This theoretical resistance is based on a predetermined yarn orientation pattern. Since in reality the wires have positioning errors, for example due to the inaccuracy of positioning of the folds, safety coefficients are necessary. These coefficients are integrated in the mechanical strength calculations to reduce the expected resistance; so that it becomes necessary to oversize the corresponding composite part.
    In the case of a composite wall, this amounts to increasing the thickness. However, such a solution is not satisfactory, particularly in the field of aeronautics since it increases the weight on board; and directly impacts fuel consumption. Compactness is penalized; and security is not necessarily guaranteed.
    [0005] Document FR 2 995 553 A1 discloses a method of producing a preform for a gas turbine fan retention casing designed for aeronautics.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS In the following description, the terms inner or inner and outer or outer refer to a positioning relative to the axis of rotation of an axial turbomachine. The axial direction corresponds to the direction along the axis of rotation of the turbomachine.
    [0080] Figure 1 shows in a simplified manner an axial turbomachine. It is in this case a double-flow turbojet engine. The turbojet engine 2 comprises a first compression level, called a low-pressure compressor 4, a second compression level, called a high-pressure compressor 6, a combustion chamber 8 and one or more levels of turbines 10. In operation, the mechanical power the turbine 10 transmitted via the central shaft to the rotor 12 sets in motion the two compressors 4 and 6. The latter comprise several rows of rotor blades associated with rows of stator vanes. The rotation of the rotor about its axis of rotation 14 thus makes it possible to generate an air flow and to compress it progressively until it reaches the combustion chamber 8.
    An inlet fan commonly designated fan or blower 16 is coupled to the rotor 12 and generates a flow of air which is divided into a primary flow 18 through the various levels mentioned above of the turbomachine, and a secondary flow 20 through an annular duct (partially shown) along the machine to then join the primary flow at the turbine outlet. The secondary flow can be accelerated to generate a thrust reaction. The primary 18 and secondary 20 streams are annular flows, they are channeled by the casing of the turbomachine. For this purpose, the casing has cylindrical walls or ferrules which can be internal and external.
    FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a compressor of an axial turbomachine such as that of FIG. 1. The compressor may be a low-pressure compressor 4. There may be observed a part of the fan 16 as well as the splitter 22 of the primary flow 18 and the secondary flow 20. The rotor 12 may comprise several rows of rotor blades 24, in this case three.
    The low-pressure compressor 4 may comprise at least one rectifier, preferably several rectifiers, in this case four, which each contain an annular row of stator vanes 26. Each rectifier is associated with the fan 16 or a row of rectifiers. rotor blades 24 to straighten the air flow, so as to convert the speed of the flow pressure.
    The compressor comprises at least one casing 28. The housing 28 may have a generally circular or tubular shape. It can be an external compressor casing and can be made of composite materials, which makes it possible to reduce its mass while optimizing its rigidity. The casing 28 may comprise fixing flanges 30, for example annular fixing flanges 30 for fixing the separation spout 22 and / or for fixing to an intermediate blower casing of the turbomachine.
    The composite housing 28 may comprise a wall 34 generally circular or arcuate, whose edges may be delimited by the flanges 30. The wall 34 may have a profile of revolution about the axis of rotation 14. The wall 34 may have an ogival shape, with a variation of radius along the axis 14. This change in radius can be reversed, the minimum diameter can be downstream. The wall 34 has an inner surface with a double curvature. The axial length of the wall 34 may represent the majority of the minimum radius of the inner surface of the wall, possibly its axial length is greater than or equal to the minimum radius of the inner surface of the wall 34. The axial length is measured according to the rotation axis 14.
    The composite housing 28, or at least its wall 34, can be made by injection. The injection may consist in impregnating a fibrous reinforcement with an optionally organic resin such as epoxy. The impregnation can be according to a method of RTM (acronym for Resin Transfer Molding) type. The wall 34 may comprise a composite material, with an organic matrix and a reinforcement, in particular fibrous, such as a fiber preform.
    Since the wall may have a curved shape, the preform also reproduces this curved shape; the aspects described above. The preform can also reproduce the axial and annular flanges. It can respect the symmetry of revolution with a profile of revolution with respect to the axis 14. The preform can comprise a stack or a winding of different fibrous sheets or fibrous folds, which can extend on the wall, and on at least one or more flanges.
    The stator vanes 26 extend substantially radially from the wall 34. The stator vanes 26 may comprise platforms, possibly provided with fixing pins 36 such as lockbolts, threaded rods or any other equivalent means. These fixing pins 36 pass through the wall, and in particular its preform. The irregularity of the forces communicated from the axes to the preform favors the birth of complex and complex deformation modes.
    FIG. 3 represents a diagram of the process for stacking fibrous folds for producing the reinforcing preform of the composite wall, for example such as that presented in FIG. 2 in relation to the compressor casing. The method may be an iterative process, which repeats all or part of its steps.
    The method may comprise the sequence of the following steps, possibly carried out in the following order: definition of a general shape 100 of a preform corresponding to the composite wall, this definition can anticipate compaction, such as compaction in an injection mold; defining folds 102 forming the preform by stacking; creating 104 predefined marks 48 distributed on the folds, and defining the positions in the space that the fold marks must respect when the preform is shaped; providing or providing a fold stack template, the template having a fold receiving surface corresponding to a surface of the preform, and / or the wall; providing or manufacturing 108 fibrous folds with precursor landmarks 48 of those which have been predefined; (a) adding 110 or introducing a new fold on the template, or on a previous fold of the stack; (b) projecting 112 light marks 38 onto the template or the newly added fold, the marks 38 indicating the positions to be occupied by the markers 48 so that the fold has its predefined configuration; (c) moving 114 a first mark 40 of the fold added to coincide with the first mark 42 associated therewith; (d) adjusting the position of the added fold so that a second mark 44 coincides with a second mark 46; the adjustment comprising: • a rotation 116 of a portion of the fold added, the rotation can make it possible to bring the second mark 44 on a line of light mark 38; and / or • a deformation 118 in elongation or retraction of the fold added, the deformation can be effected along two axes; the order of deformation and rotation can be reversed; these last operations can be carried out several times; validation 120, optionally, where a set or all the markers coincide.
    Then, the method may provide for matching, to coincide, a third marker with a third mark, then a fourth mark with a fourth mark, then an Nth mark with an Nth mark, and so on. The adjustment can allow a coincidence of several other marks simultaneously.
    The method can perform these actions on an area with a set of marks 48, the approximation order can be made in order of proximity with the first marker 40. This allows to work gradually, not to distort what has already been correctly positioned. The method can then correct the position of several other marks by moving them one by one, gradually; or together.
    Light marks 38 change with each type of folds to project him dedicated indications. The markers 48, as well as the corresponding luminous marks 38 can be heard as dots, lines, points at line intersections; or polygons formed by the lines or vertices of the points. The coincidence mechanism between the markers 48 and marks 38 which has just been described was based on points. It is also possible to conduct coincidences between a marker line 48 with a luminous mark line 38.
    According to a variant, the positions in the space of the marks and marks are calculated starting from an existing reference fold pattern.
    FIG. 4 illustrates the stacking operation of fibrous folds 142 on a jig 50. The jig 50 forms a construction support for shaping the folds.
    Before stacking the folds 142 may be woven so as to generally have their final shape. They can be woven three-dimensionally for this purpose. They may each have axial flanges, and possibly radial flanges. The casing and its wall being able to be in half-shell, each preformed fold 142 can reproduce the shape of half-shell. The folds 142 are set up on the template in turn. During this operation, the new fold 142 covers the jig 50 or the fold 142 above. Each fold 142 may be implemented in accordance with the stacking method according to the invention.
    FIG. 5 represents a stacking installation 52 of fibrous folds for producing a fiber preform of a composite wall. The axis 14 is shown to provide an orientation mark.
    The jig 50 has a surface 54 for receiving the plies, on which they will be applied, deformed by sliding on it. The stacking surface 54 has a shape corresponding to the surface that must present on one side the preform. The stacking surface 54 may correspond to a surface of a mold used to form the composite wall.
    The installation 52 comprises a light device 56 for projecting the light marks 38, such destinations for the reference marks of the folds. The light marks 38 are each time adapted to the new fold added. In this case, the luminous marks include axial lines, and arches. These can be parallel, their centers are here on axis 14.
    The light device 56 may comprise several light sources 58; Such lasers 58. The choice of two sources 58 allows to reach the entire surface of a half-tube, avoiding the appearance of shadow area. This feature allows to bring sources 58 of the template; and to form a more compact installation despite the occulting bosses of the template 50.
    The sources may be movable so that their beams 60 scan the entire stacking surface 54. A control unit 62 controls the movements of the light sources 58 so that their beams 60, possibly punctual, describe all the lines of fold marks. The axial flanges of the jig 50 can also be reached. The control unit 62 makes coherent the radiation 60 of each light source 58, a pattern on the template 50 can be used to calibrate the device 56.
    [00102] Figure 6 shows a section of the preform 140 made by stacking, resulting from the fold stacking process 142. The preform 140 may correspond to that of the composite wall of the housing shown in Figure 2. The section is made according to a line corresponding to the axis of rotation 14 of the turbomachine.
    The preform 140 may reproduce a fibrous wall 134, precursor of the composite wall. Each fold 142 may extend over an axial fraction of the wall. Thus, the number of plies 142 can vary axially. The number of folds 142 may increase downstream. The preform 140 may comprise localized folds 144, for example provided for an annular flange 130. The preform 140 may reproduce at least one, preferably several annular fibrous flanges 130 which correspond to that of the composite housing. At least one fibrous ply 142 may join each annular flange 130. Preferably, the majority or all of the fibrous plies 142 of the wall extend within each annular flange 130, possibly over the entire radial height.

Each ply 142 may be preformed, and / or deformed before being stacked, possibly its The shape can be adjusted during its layup in the stack 148. The majority of the fibrous folds 142 can extend over the entire axial length of the wall 134.
    [00105] Figure 7 shows a section of the preform 140 along the axis 7-7 plotted in Figure 6. The axis 14 is drawn to provide an orientation mark.
    The composite housing can describe a circle. It can be formed of two annular half-casings which each describe a semicircle. Thus, the annular housing may comprise two preforms 140 forming semicircles. To join the half-housings, they are provided with axial fastening flanges intended to be fixed to each other. They are reinforced by axial fibrous flanges 146 of the preform 140. The axial flanges border the wall portions 134.

Optionally, the majority of the folds 142 or each fold extends (ent) in the fibrous wall 134 and in each axial flange 146, possibly over the entire surface of each axial flange.
    [00108] Figure 8 shows the stack 148 of the fibrous folds 142 of the preform. The axis 14 is shown to provide an orientation mark of the stacking direction.

    The woven ply 142 shown has woven fibrous yarns 150. The yarns 150 form two sets of perpendicular yarns. The threads 150 of one set are parallel to the axis 14 while the threads 150 of the other set are perpendicular to the same axis 14. Each thread 150 of fibers has several fibers according to its section, for example six thousand fibers ( 6k), twelve thousand fibers (12k), or more. Each wire can be twisted or braided.
    The woven ply 142 may be woven using warp yarns and weft yarns. The weft yarns may be generally disposed along the rotational axis 14 of the turbomachine and may comprise the axial fibers, and the warp yarns may be generally arranged along the circumference of the wall and may comprise the circumferential fibers.
    In addition, the fold 142 comprises tracer son 48 forming pins 48. The tracer son 48 may be of a different color than the other son 150, said majority son 150. The latter may be carbon, so of black color ; the tracer yarns are then white to promote contrast. These tracer son 48 may be parallel to majority son 150 to reproduce their orientation. They can be inserted, added or replace majority threads 150.
    The tracer son 48 are arranged in two sets of perpendicular son, they are oriented at 0 ° relative to the axis 14, or 90 °. They are either axial or circumferential. They form a crisscross, possibly a grid. This grid is precisely the image projected by the light device on the template; the projected image being adapted to the particular geometry of the template.
    [00118] Figure 10 shows a fibrous fold 142 of the stack 140. The axis 14 is shown to provide an orientation mark. The fold 142 is shown expanded, in plan.
    The fold 142 also has majority son 150 woven in two perpendicular directions. The wires 142 are generally oriented at -45 ° or + 45 ° with respect to the axis 14, and / or with respect to the circumference of the composite housing. In addition, the fold 142 has tracer yarns 48 perpendicular to the fold 142. When the fold 142 occupies its position in the preform, its tracer son 48 describe helices, helicoids; optionally variable pitch and / or variable radius. When the light device projects the light marks, it projects a grid. In space, the grids of the grid run through propellers, tendrils.
    The stack that has just been presented comprises son arranged in two directions, but it is possible to have three son, for example oriented at -307907 + 30 ° with respect to the axis 14. The stack of Figure 8 may have any distribution of pleats such as those described in relation to Figures 9 and 10, or folds to three son directions.
    The invention has been presented in relation to a crankcase, however it can also be applied to the fuselage of an aircraft, a fan casing, structures. The invention can also provide solutions for body elements of a vehicle; to a box, for example the composite roof of a vehicle.
