Abstract

A turbomachine intermediate casing including an internal hub designed to accept a turbomachine compressor shaft, an outer shell ring, and a plurality of radial arms connecting the hub and the shell ring, one of the arms including an internal housing of radial shaft for driving auxiliary machines, the casing further includes a bevel gearbox for the radial shaft arranged in the outer shell ring, the gearbox being formed as one with the outer shell ring, and the bevel gearbox includes a housing for gears between a radial shaft and an accessories gearbox, the housing including an opening opening to the periphery of the outer shell ring.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An intermediate turbomachine casing, comprising:
an inner hub adapted to receive a turbomachine compressor shaft,
an outer ferrule comprising an inner wall and an outer wall, the outer wall radially spaced apart from and extending around the inner wall, at the periphery of the outer ferrule, and
a plurality of radial arms connecting the inner hub and the outer ferrule, one of the arms comprising an inner housing of a radial shaft for driving auxiliary machines,
an angle gearbox of the radial shaft arranged in the outer ferrule, said gearbox being integrally formed with the outer ferrule, and the angle gearbox comprises a gear housing between the radial shaft and an accessory gearbox,
wherein said gear housing comprises an opening provided in the outer wall of the outer ferrule.

2. The intermediate casing according to claim 1 , wherein the angle gearbox further comprises a linking arm with the accessory gearbox, said linking arm being hollow to receive a gear train of the accessory gearbox, and the gear housing further comprising an opening for communication with said linking arm.

3. The intermediate casing according to claim 1 , wherein the opening of the housing is arranged facing the radial arm comprising the inner housing of the radial shaft.

4. A drive assembly of a turbomachine accessory gearbox, comprising an intermediate casing, a radial shaft extending in a radial arm of the casing, a gear assembly of the radial shaft to an accessory gearbox, mounted at an end of the radial shaft, and an angle gearbox of the radial shaft,
wherein the intermediate casing is a casing according to claim 1 , the angle gearbox being integrally formed in said casing.

5. The drive assembly according to claim 4 , further comprising a cover covering the opening of the housing on the periphery of the ferrule, said cover comprising an oil admission connection and an oil evacuation connection.

6. The drive assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the gear assembly comprises a bevel pinion comprising a hub adapted to receive the end of the radial shaft, and the gear assembly comprises an axial stop device of the radial shaft in the hub of the pinion.

7. The drive assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the hub of the bevel pinion comprises an inner circumferential groove, and the axial stop device comprises a ring arranged in the groove of the hub of the bevel pinion and projecting relative to the inner circumferential groove of the hub of the bevel pinion to form an axial stop of the radial shaft.

8. The drive assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the gear assembly further comprises two bearings extending around the hub of the bevel pinion, and the drive assembly further comprises an oil supply distributor mounted in the radial shaft, in fluid communication with the bearings.

9. A turbomachine, comprising a motor shaft, an accessory gearbox, and a drive assembly of the accessory gearbox according to claim 4 .

10. A method for mounting a drive assembly of an accessory gearbox according to claim 4 , comprising:
guiding a gear assembly in a casing angle gearbox through an opening in the outer wall of the ferrule of the casing, and fixing said gear assembly to a wall of the angle gearbox, said wall separating the gearbox from a hollow axial arm of the casing,
engaging a radial shaft into said arm of the casing through the hub of a pinion of the gear assembly,
guiding an axial stop device of the radial shaft into a hub of the pinion, and
closing the opening at the periphery of the outer ferrule by a cover.
