Abstract
A device for positioning and maintaining electric harnesses on the casing of a turbo-jet engine includes harness supports standardized for directions substantially perpendicular to the axis of the turbojet engine and harness supports standardized for directions substantially parallel to the axis of the turbo-jet engine.
Claims19
A turbo-jet engine, said turbo-jet engine comprising:
- at least a casing, forming a peripheral envelop around a longitudinal axis of the turbo-jet engine,
- a duct mounted on the casing of the turbo-jet engine,
- electric harnesses laid out at the periphery of the casing, said electrical harnesses including at least a first electrical harness, a second electrical harness and a third electrical harness, each of said first, second and third electrical harnesses having a conducting wire inserted in an insulating material, and
- a device for positioning and maintaining the electric harnesses on the casing of said turbo-jet engine, wherein the device comprises harness supports standardized for directions substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the turbo-jet engine and harness supports standardized for directions substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbo-jet engine,
- wherein each of said harness supports standardized for directions substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the turbo-jet engine comprises a body defining a plurality of perpendicular housings that each extend substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said turbo-jet engine, said plurality of perpendicular housings including at least a first perpendicular housing, a second perpendicular housing and a third perpendicular housing, wherein said first electrical harness is received in said first perpendicular housing, said second electrical harness is received in said second perpendicular housing and said third electrical harness is received in said third perpendicular housing, wherein said first, second and third perpendicular housings extend within a same plane and are aligned with each other,
- wherein each of said harness supports standardized for directions substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbo-jet engine comprises a cylindrical body defining a plurality of parallel housings that each extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbo-jet engine, each parallel housing being positioned at a periphery of said cylindrical body and around a central core of said cylindrical body, said plurality of parallel housings including at least a first parallel housing, a second parallel housing and a third parallel housing, wherein said first electrical harness is received in said first parallel housing, said second electrical harness is received in said second parallel housing and said third electrical harness is received in said third parallel housing such that said first, second and third electric harnesses are positioned around said central core,
- wherein the cylindrical body includes a central bore that extends through said central core substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbo-jet engine, and
- wherein at least one of said harness supports standardized for directions substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbo-jet engine is mounted on said duct at said central bore such that said duct passes through said central bore.
