    FIG. 1 represents a fan 2 for an aircraft turbomachine 1. The turbomachine 1 is a turbojet engine which has a shape of revolution around a longitudinal axis X-X of the turbomachine. The turbomachine 1 is double flow and double body.
    The fan 2 comprises a cone 3 defining an upstream end of the fan 2, an upstream ferrule 4 situated downstream of the cone 3, and a disc 5 situated downstream of the ferrule 4 and which carries movable vanes 50 at its outer surface. The cone 3 is fixed to the shell 4 by a plurality of fixing members 7 (FIG. 2). The ferrule 4 is fixed to the disc 5 by a fastening system 6 of the ferrule.
    The upstream and downstream directions are used in this document with reference to the overall flow of gases in the turbomachine 1, such a direction is also qualified as axial. A radial direction is a direction substantially orthogonal to the axis of the turbomachine X-X and intersecting this axis. The terms front and rear are used respectively as synonyms of upstream and downstream respectively.
    With joint reference to Figures 1 and 2, the cone 3 and the ferrule 4 jointly form a rotating inlet cover of the blower 2. The inlet cover also includes plugs 8 which are each intended to close one of the open cavities 37 on the outside of the cone 3, to improve the aerodynamic performance of the hood.
    The inlet cowl is configured to rotate around the longitudinal axis X-X of the turbomachine, being integral in rotation with the disc 5. It has a continuous aerodynamic outer surface. This aerodynamic surface extends, from upstream to downstream, from the cone 3 to the ferrule 4. The aerodynamic outer surface of the cover is of generally frustoconical shape.
    The ferrule 4 comprises an axial wall 42, a radial wall 40 connected to the axial wall 42, and a downstream wall 44 connected to the radial wall 40 and which extends downstream relative to the radial wall 40. The wall axial 42, the radial wall 40 and the downstream wall 44 form a one-piece wall.
    The axial wall 42 projects from the radial wall 40 upstream of the radial wall 40, in an axial direction which is substantially parallel to the direction of the axis of rotation X-X of the cover. The axial wall 42 is intended to serve as centering for a lower wall 31 of the cone.
    The radial wall 40 extends in a radial direction which is substantially orthogonal to the direction of the axis of rotation X-X of the cover. The ferrule 4 is connected to the disc 5 by the attachment system 6 at the level of the radial wall 40, near a radially lower end of the radial wall 40. The radial wall 40 is configured to serve as a plane support for the inner rim 35 of the cone. The ferrule 4 is also intended to be connected to the cone 3 at the level of the radial wall 40 by screws 60 of the attachment system 6.
    The downstream wall 44 projects from the radial wall 40 radially outward and axially downstream. The downstream wall 44 partially covers the disc 5. It has an aerodynamic outer surface S 3 of frustoconical shape.
    The fastening system 6 of the ferrule comprises a plurality of fixing screws 60 which each cooperate with a nut 61. The fixing screws 60 are angularly spaced from one another along a circumferential direction of the cone. They extend through the radial wall 40 and through the disc 5 axially in a direction Z-Z which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X-X of the turbomachine. The nuts 61 are each pressing against the disc 5.
    Referring more specifically to Figure 2, the cone 3 includes an outer wall 30 and an inner wall 31, 35 which extends from the outer wall 30 downstream. The outer wall 30 and the inner wall 31, 35 form a one-piece wall.
    The cone 3 delimits a plurality of cavities 37 which are each located between the outer wall 30 and the inner wall 31, 35 and in each of which are located at least part of the fixing members 7.
    The outer wall 30 includes a front segment 30a and a rear segment 30b. The front segment 30a defines an upstream end of the cone. The rear segment 30b defines a downstream end of the cone.
    The outer wall 30 has an aerodynamic outer surface Si. The outer surface Si has a generally frustoconical shape.
    The outer wall 30 is crossed by a plurality of orifices 81 which are located between the front segment 30a and the rear segment 30b. Each orifice 81 takes the form of an oblong hole which passes through the outer wall 30 and which extends substantially axially. Each oblong orifice 81 opens into the cavity 37.
    The oblong holes 81 are spaced from each other along a circumferential direction of the cone, each opening onto one of the fixing members.
    7.
    The inner wall 31, 35 of the cone comprises a lower wall 31 and an inner rim 35 which extends from the lower wall 31 towards the outside of the cone. The inner wall 31, 35 is in one piece.
    With more specific reference to the first embodiment, the lower wall 31 extends from the front segment 30a downstream, being substantially parallel to the direction of the axis of rotation X-X of the cover. Each oblong orifice 81 extends over the majority of the axial length of the bottom wall 31, above the bottom wall 31.
    The inner rim 35 extends from the bottom wall 31 downstream, being substantially orthogonal to the axis of rotation X-X of the cone. It is supported on the rear segment 30b which covers it at least partially.
    The internal rim 35 is designed to be parallel to the radial wall 40 and to bear against the radial wall 40. It is traversed by a through orifice 39 for the passage of a screw 70 of the fixing member 7.
    Each cavity 37 opens onto the outside of the cone 3 only at the oblong orifice 81. It is delimited upstream by the front segment 30a. It is delimited downstream by the inner rim 35. It is delimited radially outwards by the oblong orifice 81 and by the rear segment 30b. It is delimited radially inwards by the lower wall 31.
    The cavities 37 are spaced from each other along a circumferential direction of the cone, each housing one of the fixing members 7.
    Each of the cavities 37 is intended to be closed by one of the plugs
    8. Each plug 8 (FIGS. 3 and 4) comprises an external wall 92, an intermediate wall 94, 96 and an internal support wall 98 which form a housing 9. Each plug 8 also includes a fixing member 7 which passes through the wall support 98.
    The outer wall 92, the intermediate wall 94, 96, and the support wall 98 form a one-piece wall. In the first embodiment and in the fifth embodiment, the housing 9 has a general shape of V according to at least one longitudinal sectional plane such as that of FIG. 2.
    The external wall 92 is intended to close off one of the cavities 37 formed between the external wall 30 of the cone and the ferrule 4. The external wall 92 has an aerodynamic external surface S 2 which is intended to form an aerodynamic profile in continuity with the external surface The external surface S 2 is of frustoconical shape.
    The external wall 92 is crossed by a passage orifice 91 of a tool for tightening the fixing member 7. The passage orifice 91 is located substantially in the center of the external wall 92. It is aligned with the axis longitudinal YY of the fixing member 7 which is housed in the cavity 37.
    The support wall 98 is supported on the inner rim 35. The support wall 98 comprises a wall element which is cylindrical around the longitudinal axis YY of the fixing member. The support wall 98 is crossed by an oblong hole 97 in which the screw 70 of the fixing member is located. It comprises a bearing surface S 4 which is intended to be in abutment against the internal rim 35, in the first embodiment.
    With reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, the intermediate wall 94, 96 comprises two lateral flanks 96 and a transition wall 94 which is orthogonal to the lateral flanks 96 and which connects them to each other.
    The lateral flanks 96 are triangular in shape. They are orthogonal to the external wall 92 which they laterally connect to the support wall 98. They are substantially parallel to one another.
    The lateral flanks 96 have a section which varies from upstream to downstream, which indicates to an operator a correct orientation of the plug 8 relative to the cone 3 and of the fixing member 7 relative to the housing 9. The lateral flanks 96 thus play the role of visual, physical and / or mechanical key.
    The transition wall 94 extends radially downstream of the outer wall 92, to connect the outer wall 92 to the cylindrical support wall. The transition wall 94 is crossed by a drainage orifice 93 of the cavity 37.
    Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the fasteners 7 are angularly spaced from each other along a circumferential direction of the cover, in the cavities 37. The screw 70 of each fastener 7 is intended to be inserted in the corresponding cavity 37 at the same time as the associated housing 9.
    Each fixing member 7 comprises a screw 70 and a nut 71. The screw 70 comprises a head 72 and a rod 74.
    The rod 74 of the screw extends in a longitudinal direction Y-Y. The rod 74 is configured to simultaneously pass through the support wall 98 at the oblong hole 97, the inner rim 35 at the through hole 39 and the radial wall 40. The screw 70 makes it possible to fix the support wall 98 to the inner rim 35 and simultaneously the inner rim 35 to the radial wall 40.
    The rod 74 cooperates with the nut 71 to tighten the support wall 98, the inner rim 35 and the radial wall 40 against each other, along the longitudinal Y-Y axis of the fixing member. The nut 71 bears against the radial wall 40. The fixing member 7 fixes both the housing 9 to the cone 3 and the cone 3 to the ferrule 4.
    The head 72 of the screw is aligned with the opening 91 for the passage of a tightening tool, such as a screwdriver, which makes it possible to tighten the screw 70 in the cavity 37 through the passage opening 91, during that the external wall 92 closes the cavity 37.
    The fixing member 7 comprises a cup 73 against which the head 72 of the screw is in abutment, the dish 73 being in abutment against the support wall 98. It makes it possible in particular to reconstitute the bearing surface of the screw 70 despite the presence of the oblong hole 97 surrounding the head 72 of the screw.
    The method of attaching the input cover to the disc is described below.
    First of all, the ferrule 4 is fixed to the disc 5 by the screws 60 for fixing the ferrule, the radial wall 40 being in abutment against the disc 5.
    Then, the cone 3 is centered and supported on the ferrule 4, respecting the alignment of their respective holes using visual marks.
    Then, the plug 8 comprising the housing 9, the screw 70 of the fixing member and the cup 73 are introduced into the cavity 37. The rod 74 of the screw extends through the orifice 39, the head 72 screw is pressed against the cup 73, and the screw 70 is aligned with the passage orifice 91, when the plug 8 is inserted in the cavity 37.
    The rod 74 is brought opposite the through hole 39 of the inner rim 35, which it crosses. The rod 74 then passes through the support wall 98, the inner rim 35 and the radial wall 40. The rod 74 cooperates with the nut 71, being tightened in the cavity 37 by a tightening tool which is inserted through the passage orifice 91 along the longitudinal axis YY of the fixing member 7, for simultaneously fixing the support wall 98 to the internal rim 35 and the internal rim 35 to the axial wall 40. The plug 8 is then fixed to the cone 3 and the cone on the ferrule 4.
    The process for separating the inlet cover from the disc 5 is explained below.
    The screw tightening tool 70 is introduced through the passage orifice 91 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the fixing member Y-Y, to engage the head
    12. of the screw and loosen the screw 70. Once the screw 70 is loosened, it is removed from the radial wall 40 and from the through hole 39. The nut 71 remains in place in abutment against the radial wall 40 The housing 9, the screw 70 and the cup 73 are then removed together from the cavity 37, in other words the plug 8 is removed from the cavity 37.
    The cone 3 is then moved away from the ferrule 4, then the ferrule 4 is moved away from the disc 5, after the connection 6 has been loosened.
    The cover of the second embodiment which is shown in Figure 5 and that of the third embodiment which is shown in Figure 6 are distinguished mainly from that of the first embodiment by the shape of the cone 3, by the shape of the housing 9 and by the orientation of the fixing member 7.

    The housing 9 of each plug 8 is in one piece. It comprises an external wall 92, an intermediate wall 96 and a support wall 98. In the second embodiment, the housing 9 has a general shape of U according to the longitudinal section plane shown in FIG. 5.
    The external wall 92 is intended to close off one of the cavities 37 formed between the external wall 30 of the cone and the ferrule 4. The external wall 92 has an aerodynamic external surface S 2 which is intended to form an aerodynamic profile in continuity with the external surface The external surface S 2 is frustoconical.
    The external wall 92 is crossed by a passage orifice 91 of a tool for tightening the fixing member 7. The passage orifice 91 is aligned with the longitudinal axis Yi-Yi of the fixing member 7. The passage orifice 91 is aligned with the through orifice 39 along the longitudinal axis Yi-Yi, when the plug 8 is fixed to the cone 3. The longitudinal axis Yi-Yi of the fixing member is then oriented radially , being substantially orthogonal to the axis of rotation XX of the cover.
    The intermediate wall 96 connects the external wall 92 to the support wall 98, extending substantially orthogonally to the support wall 98. It bears against the intermediate wall 33 of the cone, when the plug 8 closes the cavity 37.
    The support wall 98 comprises a wall element which is cylindrical around the longitudinal axis Yi-Yi of the fixing member. The support wall 98 is crossed by a cylindrical hole 97 in which the screw 70 of the fixing member is located. The support wall 98 is supported on the lower wall 31, when the plug 8 closes the cavity 37.
    The fixing member 7 of each plug comprises a screw 70 and a nut 71. Each screw 70 comprises a head 72 and a rod 74.
    The rod 74 of each screw 70 is oriented in the direction Yi-Yi. The rod 74 of the screw 70 is configured to pass simultaneously through the support wall 98 at the cylindrical hole 97, the bottom wall 31 at the through hole 39 and the axial wall 42 of the ferrule 4. The screw 70 allows to fix the support wall 98 to the bottom wall 31 and simultaneously the bottom wall 31 to the axial wall 42.
    The rod 74 cooperates with the nut 71 to tighten the support wall 98, the bottom wall 31 and the axial wall 42 along the longitudinal axis.
    Yi-Yi of the fixing member. The nut 71 bears against the axial wall 42. The fixing member 7 also fixes both the casing 9 to the cone 3 and the cone 3 to the ferrule 4.
    The head 72 of the screw is aligned with the opening 91 for the passage of a tightening tool, such as a screwdriver, which makes it possible to tighten the screw 70 in the cavity 37 through the passage opening 91, during that the external wall 92 closes the cavity 37. The passage orifice 91 is oriented substantially radially, which allows it to play the role of a drainage orifice intended to empty the cavity 37.
    The bottom wall 31 and the support wall 98 also each include a blind hole which is intended to receive an alignment pin 102 secured to the support 98 by shrinking. This alignment pin 102 extends in its longitudinal direction between the bottom wall 31 and the support wall 98. It extends substantially radially. It is used to position the plug 8 relative to the cone 3 to align the surface S 2 of the plug with the surface Si of the cone.
    The cover of the third embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment by the shape of the inner wall 31, 33, 35 of the cone and by
    0 that of its plugs 8.

The longitudinal direction Y 2 -Y 2 of the fixing member is inclined at an angle between 30 ° and 90 °, preferably substantially 45 ° relative to the direction of the axis of rotation XX of the cover.
    The rod 74 of the screw 70 is configured to pass simultaneously through the support wall 98 at the cylindrical hole 97, the bottom wall 31 at the through hole 39 and the axial wall 42 of the ferrule 4. The screw 70 allows to fix the support wall 98 to the bottom wall 31 and simultaneously the bottom wall 31 to the axial wall 42.
    The rod 74 cooperates with the nut 71 to tighten against one another the support wall 98, the bottom wall 31 and the axial wall 42 along the axis Y 2 -Y 2 of the fixing member.

    The head 72 of the screw is aligned with the opening 91 for the passage of a tightening tool, such as a screwdriver, which makes it possible to tighten the screw 70 in the cavity 37 through the passage opening 91, during that the external wall 92 closes the cavity 37.
    In order to standardize the plug, and thanks to its normal installation in the vein, the surface S 2 can be approximated by a flat surface, normal to the axis Y 2 -Y 2 , or slightly spherical around the axis Y 2 - Y 2 . The plug no longer then needs to be oriented around the axis Y2-Y2, and does not have an alignment pin 102.
    The plug 8 of the fourth embodiment (FIG. 7) differs from that of the first embodiment in that it comprises a pin 105 which passes through the support wall 98.

This retaining member is configured to secure the screw 70 securely to the support wall 98, during its mounting in cavity 37.
    The fifth embodiment (Figures 8 and 9) differs mainly from the first embodiment by the cylindrical shape of the housing 9 and by the fact that the plug 8 comprises an alignment pin 102 which is intended to position the plug 8 relatively at cone 3 to respect the alignment of the veins.
    The alignment pin 102 is inserted into a blind hole in the support wall 98 to which it is fixed by shrinking.
