  • Patent number: 11761345
    Abstract: An assembly for a turbine engine turbine includes a turbine rotor disc centered on a longitudinal axis and a turbine shaft centered on the longitudinal axis and driven in rotation by the rotor disc. Torque from the rotor disc is transmitted to the shaft, wherein the rotor disc is locked in translation relative to the shaft in the direction of the longitudinal axis by a screwed member on the shaft. Torque from the rotor disc is transmitted from the rotor disc to the screwed member when the torque ceases being transmitted from the rotor disc to the shaft. The screwed member has an unscrewing direction identical to the direction of rotation of the rotor disc in operation.

    Abstract: An assembly for a turbine engine turbine includes a turbine rotor disc centered on a longitudinal axis, a turbine shaft centered on the longitudinal axis and driven in rotation by the rotor disc. The assembly further includes first means of transmitting torque from the rotor disc to the shaft, wherein the rotor disc is locked in translation relative to the shaft in the direction of the longitudinal axis by a screwed member on the said shaft and second means of transmitting torque from the rotor disc to the screwed member. The screwed member has an unscrewing direction identical to the direction of rotation of the rotor disc in operation, and the second means of transmitting torque are configured to transmit the rotational torque from the rotor disc to the screwed member when the first means of transmitting torque cease to transmit torque from the rotor disc to the shaft.

  • Publication number: 20220389874
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly for a turbine engine, comprising a radially inner shaft (3) and a radially outer shaft (7), said shafts (7, 8) being coaxial and extending along an axis (X), means (11, 15) for coupling said inner and outer shafts (7, 8) in rotation, means (22) for axially holding the inner shaft (8) relative to the outer shaft (7), means for centring the inner shaft (8) relative to the outer shaft (7), characterised in that the centring means comprise a shim (14) for radial centring and for axial positioning, this shim being frustoconical and interposed between a frustoconical centring surface (13) of the inner shaft (8) and a corresponding frustoconical centring surface (10) of the outer shaft (7).

  • Patent number: 11261745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotor (1) of a turbomachine turbine, comprising a rotor disc (2) and a plurality of blades (3) distributed at its periphery, said rotor disc (2) comprising a plurality of mainly axial cells (23), each blade (3) comprising a root (32), retained in one of the cells (23) of said rotor disc, each root being dimensioned so as to form a space (4) between the bottom of the cell (23) and the radially inner face (324) of the root. This rotor is remarkable in that said root comprises a mainly axial blind hole (5) opening onto the upstream face of the root and a plurality of mainly radial air ejection orifices (6), each air ejection orifice (6) opening into said blind hole (5) and onto the radially inner face (324) of the root located facing the bottom of the cell (23).
