  • Patent number: 11964779
    Abstract: In order to fill a reservoir while avoiding laborious manual filling operations, there is added to the existing device, including a supply duct, a pump and a measuring probe, a stop valve designed to interrupt the filling as soon as the desired level has been reached, which is detected for example by an air intake which controls the closure of the valve. Two level indicators are added and make it possible to ascertain either that optimum filling has been achieved or that a malfunction is present in the system. Application to the systems for oil filling of aircraft engine reservoirs from another reservoir arranged within the aircraft, generally common to all the engines.

  • Patent number: 11401836
    Abstract: Portion of a fluid drainage conduit for a turbomachine, comprising an upstream stretch, a downstream stretch fixed relative to the upstream stretch and a retention chamber onto which the upstream stretch opens. The retention chamber is capable of communicating with the downstream stretch through a first aperture and a second aperture. The drainage conduit portion comprises an obturator to obturate the second aperture. The first and second apertures are provided so that when the obturator obturates the second aperture, the retention chamber retains fluid by allowing a fluid overflow to flow from the upstream stretch to the downstream stretch through the first aperture, and when the obturator does not obturate the second aperture, the fluid can flow from the upstream stretch to the downstream stretch at least through the second aperture.

  • Patent number: 10458422
    Abstract: A turbine engine includes two rotary shafts and a lubrication unit. The lubrication unit has at least one pump which a casing inside of which a rotor is mounted and driven by one of the rotary shafts. The pump casing is rotated by the other rotary shaft such that the actuation of the pump depends on the difference between rotational speeds of the shafts. The shafts are a drive shaft and a fan shaft, respectively, wherein the fan shaft is driven by the drive shaft by means of a reduction gear which is lubricated by the lubrication unit. The reduction gear is annular and the pump passes axially therethrough.

  • Patent number: 10094291
    Abstract: A geared fuel pump (4?) operates to supply a determined flow but at low or zero pressure rise. It is planned to add gland packing (46) between support bearings (19) of the pinions (11), or between some of them, to provide hydrodynamic lift for these bearings, by delimiting a closed cavity (47) to provide lift by a fluid with better viscosity properties instead of using the fluid itself that is pumped. Possible application to fuel pumps for aircraft engines, in which the pump (4?) is a high pressure pump associated with a low pressure pump.

  • Patent number: 9803556
    Abstract: A gearbox to be mounted on a turbomachine and driven by a radial drive shaft of the latter. The gearbox has a three-dimensional or sinuous shape, which can house a large quantity of equipment to be driven, without occupying a large amount of space in any dimension, since the gearbox remains close to the turbomachine and the equipment can be distributed over a large surface. The drive train of gears successively extends into several non-parallel planes and comprises an axial branch on the turbomachine and a branch forming an arc of circle around the turbomachine.
