Patent number: 11773772Abstract: A system includes an annular track that surrounds the turbomachine. The annular track includes an upper rail portion and a lower rail portion removably coupled to one another. The system further includes a drive assembly operably coupled to the annular track. The drive assembly includes a drive chain that extends along the annular track. The system further includes a plurality of carts rotatably coupled to the annular track and connected to the drive chain such that operation of the drive assembly alters a circumferential position of the plurality of carts with respect to an axial centerline of the turbomachine. The system further includes a plurality of combustion can cradle assemblies each coupled to a respective cart of the plurality of carts. Each combustion can cradle assembly of the plurality of combustion can cradle assemblies is configured to removably couple to a combustion can of the one or more combustion cans.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Artemio Josue Aguilar Cuéllar, Humberto Sanchez Moreno, Alston Ilford Scipio

Patent number: 11492929Abstract: A lift assembly includes an upper rail. A plurality of rail flanges extend from the upper rail. The lift assembly further includes a plurality of combustion can support assemblies spaced apart from one another. Each combustion can support assembly of the plurality of combustion can support assemblies includes a support flange slidably coupled to a rail flange of the plurality of rail flanges, an outer sleeve, and an inner sleeve assembly configured to removably couple to a combustion can of the turbomachine. Each combustion can support assembly of the plurality of combustion can support assemblies defines a cylindrical coordinate system having an axial direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction. Each combustion can support assembly of the plurality of support assemblies is configured to move along any of the axial direction, the radial direction, or the circumferential direction relative to the upper rail.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Artemio Josue Aguilar Cuéllar, Benigno Camacho Mendoza, Alejandro Perez, Alston Ilford Scipio

Patent number: 10830104Abstract: A system includes a rail system configured to be disposed within an enclosed space housing an exhaust collector, wherein the exhaust collector is configured to couple to a gas turbine. The system also includes an exhaust collector removal tool configured to be disposed on the rail system. The exhaust collector removal tool is configured to couple to the exhaust collector, to support the exhaust collector when not coupled to the gas turbine engine, to move the exhaust collector in a vertical direction, and to move the exhaust collector laterally with respect to the enclosed space along the rail system.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2016Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jorge Mario Rochin Machado, Oscar Eduardo Diaz Ruiz, Artemio Josue Aguilar

Patent number: 10662816Abstract: A system includes a turbine housing, a turbine mount disposed in the turbine housing, and a turbine moving machine disposed at least partially within the turbine housing. The turbine moving machine includes a turbine support configured to couple to a turbine and a first translational portion coupled to the turbine support. The turbine moving machine is configured to move the turbine lengthwise along the first translational portion between a first turbine position within the turbine housing and a second turbine position outside of the turbine housing. The turbine moving machine includes a vertical adjustment assembly configured to raise and lower the turbine.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Artemio Josue Aguilar, Juan Carlos Oidor

Patent number: 9809308Abstract: Load transport and retraining devices and methods for restraining industrial machines or heavy machinery, such as, turbines, to prevent displacement during adverse environmental conditions, such as, pitching and rolling seas, are provided. The devices include support structures adapted to support loads and having wheels positioned and adapted to engage rails. The wheels include a first set of wheels adapted to ride on top of the rails and a second set of wheels adapted to engage the sides of the rails and thereby retain the support structure to the rails. The devices may also include a third set of wheels adapted to also engage the sides of the rails. The devices may include brake and drive assemblies to facilitate handling. Aspects of the disclosure are uniquely adapted to turbines, but other aspects of the disclosure may restrain any industrial machine that may be exposed to adverse environmental conditions.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2015Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Artemio Josue Aguilar, Juan Carlos Oidor, Mario Oscar Ramirez
