  • Patent number: 11814967
    Abstract: A turbine for a turbomachine has a first rotor and a second rotor configured to pivot about an axis in two opposite directions of rotation. The first rotor includes a radially outer drum from which blades extend radially inwards. The turbine has cooling means attached relative to the outer drum. The cooling means include a support plate with at least one first orifice and a calibration plate that is attached to the support plate and located radially inside the support plate. The calibration plate has at least one second calibration orifice facing the outer drum to allow the passage of cooling air radially from the outside to the inside through the first and second orifices.

  • Patent number: 11555408
    Abstract: Counter-rotating turbine (C) of a turbomachine (10) extending about an axis (X) and comprising an inner rotor configured to rotate about the axis of rotation (X), and comprising an inner drum on which an inner movable blading (22) is fixed, an outer rotor configured to rotate about the axis of rotation (X) in a direction opposite to the inner rotor, and comprising an outer drum (50) on which an outer movable blading (20) is fixed, the outer movable blading (20) comprising at least one fixing rod (212) extending through an orifice (51) of the outer drum (50), the outer movable blading (20) being fixed to the outer drum (50) via a clamping means (100) fixed to the fixing rod (212) from an outer face of the outer drum (50), a set ring (80) being disposed around the fixing rod (50) in the orifice (51) of the outer drum (50).

  • Patent number: 11454117
    Abstract: A rotor for a contrarotating turbine comprising a drum and a blading mounted inside, the drum comprising a hook delimiting a housing having an outer wall and an inner wall, the blading comprising a blade and an outer platform provided with spoiler placed inside the housing, wherein the rotor comprises a foil comprising an elastic inner wing and an outer wing, the outer wing being arranged radially between the spoiler and the outer wall, the inner wing having a first support with the inner wall and a second support with the spoiler, the inner wing being arranged in the housing so as to exert a force on the spoiler so as to press the spoiler against the outer wall via the outer wing.

  • Publication number: 20220178331
    Abstract: A turbine includes a first rotor and a second rotor that can rotate in opposite directions and are interleaved. The turbine further includes a ring to which abradable material is secured, the ring, unsegmented, extending between the first impellers of the first rotor and the second rotor, over a sector of between 350 and 360°, and, axially between an upstream end and a downstream end of the ring, the ring is held with the second rotor.
