Abstract

A retention device for at least one cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing, the casing extending around an axial direction of the turbomachine, the retention device includes a fixing plate suited to being made integral with the casing and a retention element for the cooling tube. The retention device includes an adjustment system configured to adjust the relative position of the retention element with respect to the fixing plate and to absorb a relative movement between the retention element and the fixing plate.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A retention device for at least one cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing, the casing extending around an axial direction of the turbomachine, the retention device comprising a fixing plate configured to being made integral with the casing and a retention element for the cooling tube, said retention device comprising an adjustment system configured to adjust a relative position of said retention element with respect to said fixing plate and to absorb a relative movement between the retention element and the fixing plate.

2. The retention device for at least one cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing according to claim 1 , wherein said fixing plate comprises an opening and wherein said adjustment system comprises a body integral with said retention element, said body being translationally moveable through said opening.

3. The retention device for at least one cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing according to claim 2 , wherein said body is a cylindrical body having a threaded portion.

4. The retention device for at least one cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing according to claim 3 , wherein said adjustment system comprises a screwing element cooperating with said threaded portion of said body to adjust the relative position of said retention element with respect to said fixing plate.

5. The retention device for at least one cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing according to claim 4 , wherein the screwing element is a self-locking nut.

6. The retention device for at least one cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing according to claim 1 , wherein said adjustment system comprises an elastic return element to absorb a relative movement between the retention element and the fixing plate.

7. The retention device for at least one cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing according to claim 1 , wherein said retention element is configured to be arranged in integral contact with a radially outer part of said at least one cooling tube.

8. The retention device for at least one cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing according to claim 1 , wherein said retention element is configured to be arranged in integral contact with two cooling tubes.

9. The retention device for a cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing according to claim 1 , wherein said opening has a shape allowing a displacement of said retention element in a plane orthogonal to an axis of the opening of said fixing plate.

10. The retention device for a cooling tube of a cooling system of a turbomachine casing according to claim 1 , wherein said opening has an oblong shape.

11. A cooling system of a turbomachine casing comprising:
a cooling tube;
a retention device for at least one cooling tube according to claim 1 , said cooling tube being made integral with said retention device by brazing.

12. The cooling system of a turbomachine casing according to claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of cooling tubes, a plurality of retention devices, each retention device of said plurality ensuring the simultaneous retention and adjustment of the position of two adjacent cooling tubes.

13. A casing for a turbomachine low pressure turbine comprising a cooling system according to claim 11 arranged in a radially outer manner with respect to the casing.
