  • Publication number: 20240052863
    Abstract: An assembly for a turbine engine includes at least a first part and a second part, and at least one bolt including a screw engaging with a nut. The screw extends through respective openings in the first part and in the second part. A bearing element of the bolt has an annular flange mounted between the screw or the nut and the first part. The flange has a bearing surface bearing that is tapered and forms an angle (?) with an additional bearing surface of the first part such that only an outer peripheral area of the flange bearing surface comes into contact with the additional bearing surface of the first part, in a non-tightened state of the bolt, the flange deformable such that when the nut is tightened on the screw, a larger area of the flange bearing surface bears on the additional bearing surface of the first part.

  • Publication number: 20240052759
    Abstract: An assembly for a turbomachine includes at least a first part and a second part, and at least one bolt including a screw engaging with a nut. The screw extends through respective openings in the first part and in the second part. The bolt includes a support member having an annular collar mounted between the screw or the nut, and the first part. The collar has a support surface abutting, at least partially, on a complementary support surface of the first part. The collar also includes a recessed annular groove extending at the inner periphery of the collar.

  • Publication number: 20230340926
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an assembly for a turbomachine turbine extending along an axis (X), comprising: —an ejection cone (100) comprising a radially outer annular wall (102) defining a flow duct for a flow of hot gases and a sound box radially arranged inside the outer annular wall (102), the sound box comprising a radially inner annular wall (104), —a connecting member (106) intended to be axially inserted between the exhaust housing and the ejection cone (100), the connecting member (106) comprising an upstream annular flange (108) intended to be attached to the exhaust housing and a plurality of downstream securing tabs (110) connected to the inner annular wall (104), —an annular sealing shroud (112) comprising an upstream portion surrounding the securing tabs (110) of the connecting member (106) so as to cover the spaces circumferentially located between the securing tabs (110) and axially located between the upstream annular flange (108) of the connecting member (106) and the radially inner ann

  • Patent number: 11591924
    Abstract: An assembly for a turbomachine turbine includes a housing (1) extending circumferentially about an axis X, sectors (2) intended to form a ring capable of delimiting a gas flow path, each sector (2) comprising a first side (17) and a second side (18) extending radially and circumferentially about the said axis X and spaced axially from each other, each side (17, 18) of the sector (2) including at least one radial bearing surface of an oblong hole capable of cooperating with support pins (13, 14) of the housing (1), at least one of the sides (17, 18) including means (23) for the circumferential positioning of the sector (2) with respect to the housing (1), wherein each radial bearing surface is cylindrical relative to axis X and is capable of bearing on a complementary cylindrical surface relative to axis X of a support pin.
