  • Publication number: 20240083590
    Abstract: A propulsion assembly including a propulsion system, electric motors and a transmission system that is configured to couple the electric motors to the propulsion system, at least one of the electric motors including an output shaft located at a face facing away from the transmission system. Additionally, the propulsion assembly includes at least one coupling shaft connecting the output shaft of the electric motor to the transmission system, a first coupling system, which is able to switch over to the uncoupled state in the event of an incident at the electric motor and is configured to rotationally couple the first end of the coupling shaft to the output shaft of the electric motor, and a second coupling system, which is configured to rotationally couple the second end of the coupling shaft to the transmission system.

  • Patent number: 11698128
    Abstract: A lubricating liquid manifold for a crankpin of an epicyclic gear train. The epicyclic gear train is lubricated by a lubrication system conveying a first flow of a lubricating liquid towards the manifold and a second flow of the lubricating liquid towards a member to be lubricated. The manifold comprises a hollow body provided with an inlet port intended to receive the first flow and an outlet port designed such that the first flow is conveyed towards a guide device connected to the crankpin. The manifold comprises a barrier comprising a shoulder connected to the body and a deflector protruding radially outwards from the body so as to form, with the shoulder, a diversion space for diverting the second flow and preventing it from penetrating into the manifold.

  • Patent number: 11692597
    Abstract: A free-wheel comprising a driving part and a driven part that are able to rotate about an axis of rotation, the free-wheel comprising at least one rotational connecting member arranged in a connection space, a driven connection section of the driven part surrounding a driving connection section of the driving part, the connection space being located radially, with respect to the axis of rotation, between the driving connection section and the driven connection section. The free-wheel comprises at least one barrier, the geometry of which varies depending on the speed of rotation of the driving part, arranged radially between the driving part and the driven part and longitudinally against the connection space, the barrier being constrained to rotate with the driving connection section.

  • Patent number: 11466736
    Abstract: A free-wheel comprising a driving part and a driven part that are able to rotate about an axis of rotation, the free-wheel comprising a cage carrying at least one rolling element arranged in a connection space, the free-wheel having at least one lubrication device conveying a lubricating fluid into the connection space. The free-wheel comprises at least one variable-opening barrier arranged radially between the driving part and the driven part and longitudinally against the connection space, the opening being indexed on a relative position of the cage and of the driving part.
