Abstract

A support for carrying a tube for discharging oil-laden air from a turbine engine, the support including a radially inner annular portion for mounting around the tube, and fins that are inclined relative to the axial direction of the annular portion and relative to the radial plane, the radially outer periphery of each fin being for fastening to an exhaust cone of the turbine engine.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A support for carrying a tube for discharging oil-laden air from a turbine engine, the support comprising a radially inner annular portion for mounting around said tube and comprises fins extending outwards from the annular portion, said fins being inclined relative to the axial direction of the annular portion and relative to the radial plane, the radially outer periphery of each fin being for fastening to an exhaust cone of the turbine engine,
wherein the inner annular portion comprises a cylindrical inner ring from which a frustoconical annular cup extends radially outwards, each fin extending outwards in line with said cup, and
wherein the length of the cylindrical inner ring is less than or equal to 0.4 times its inside diameter.

2. The support according to claim 1 , wherein the fins and the inner annular portion are made of a nickel-based superalloy.

3. The support according to claim 1 , wherein the number of fins lies in the range three to 14.

4. A support for carrying a tube for discharging oil-laden air from a turbine engine, the support comprising a radially inner annular portion for mounting around said tube and comprises fins extending outwards from the annular portion, said fins being inclined relative to the axial direction of the annular portion and relative to the radial plane, the radially outer periphery of each fin being for fastening to an exhaust cone of the turbine engine,
wherein each fin has an inner periphery connected to the annular portion and an outer periphery including a fastener zone for fastening to the exhaust cone and forming an angle relative to the remainder of the fin, and
wherein each fastener zone is in the form of a portion of a cone.

5. An assembly for a turbine engine having a tube for discharging oil-laden air from a turbine engine, said tube comprising an upstream portion that is movable in rotation and a downstream portion that does not rotate, said downstream portion passing through an exhaust cone and extending along the axis of said exhaust cone, said downstream portion being surrounded by an inner annular portion of a support so that said downstream portion is mounted to be free to move axially in translation and in rotation in said inner annular portion,
wherein said support comprises said radially inner annular portion for mounting around said tube and comprises fins extending outwards from the annular portion, said fins being inclined relative to the axial direction of the annular portion and relative to the radial plane, the radially outer periphery of each fin being for fastening to an exhaust cone of the turbine engine.

6. The assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the exhaust cone includes at least one annular stiffener, the outer periphery of each fin being fastened to the stiffener.

7. A turbine engine comprising the assembly according to claim 5 .
