  • Publication number: 20220220865
    Abstract: A component (1, 2) for supporting at least one bearing (3) for a turbine engine (10) comprising: two coaxial walls, internal (4) and external (5) walls respectively, defining a gas flow vein (6) between them and interconnected by a row of arms (7); an external ferrule (50) comprising an internal peripheral edge (51) connected to the external wall (5) and an external peripheral edge (52) connected to an external mounting flange (53); an internal ferrule (40) comprising an external peripheral edge (41) connected to the internal wall (4) and an internal peripheral edge (42) comprising an internal mounting flange (43); at least one of the ferrules (4, 5), which at the peripheral edge (41, 51) thereof is connected to the corresponding wall (4, 5), having a general shape which is corrugated about an axis (X-X) of the component (1, 2).

  • Patent number: 11333025
    Abstract: A turbomachine blade formed of a hollow airfoil having a leading edge and a trailing edge opposed to each other and connected by an intrados wall and an extrados wall each extending along a radial axis of the blade, between a blade root and a blade tip, and including a cooling circuit supplied with air and delivering air jets ensuring through multiple perforations of the cooling circuit an impingement cooling of the inner surface of the airfoil, the cooling circuit includes superimposed cooling channels over the height of the blade, each integrated into the inner surface of the airfoil while matching its contour, the multiple perforations being drilled in the cooling channels terminating in a purge cavity of the airfoil are able to ensure a purge of the air having impinged the inner surface of the airfoil after its passage through the perforations.

  • Patent number: 9429038
    Abstract: A method and structure negating thermal inertia of a solid portion, such as shielding, which influences mechanical behavior of parts of an engine structure, by reducing forces transmitted to the engine structure during an event in which a turbine blade ruptures, while preserving mechanical strength and vibratory positioning. The structure includes a flexible fastener for a shield, enabling producing a fusible section. An assembly for mounting a shielding onto a casing of the engine structure of a turbine includes connection lugs and points for attachment to the casing and shielding. The attachment points are sufficiently spaced apart in accordance with curvature of the shielding and casing so connection between the lugs and the shielding or casing, and connection of the attachment points, are substantially tangential. The lugs are sized so the connection has sufficient flexibility to control vibratory positioning thereof and ensure sufficient mechanical strength under thermo-mechanical loads.

  • Patent number: 9194253
    Abstract: An assembly including a part for mounting at least one shaft bearing of a turbine engine and a support part that forms an abutment for the mounting part. The mounting part includes at least one channel through which engine gases pass, and connection parts that are capable of connecting the channel to an outer structure of the engine and to a housing holding the bearing. At least one of the connection parts is flexible so as to enable radial movement of the channel, an amplitude of the radial movement being limited by at least one of the elements of the mounting part coming onto an abutment supported by the support part. The support part extends longitudinally with regard to the direction of the rotational axis of the turbine engine so as to generate a turbine shroud that is configured to be positioned in alignment with a turbine wheel of the turbine engine.
