  • Patent number: 12247498
    Abstract: A system for changing the pitch of the blades of a turbomachine propeller, each blade being mounted so as to pivot about a pitch axis, the system including a control means and a connection mechanism connecting the control means to each blade of the propeller, the connection mechanism including, for each blade of the propeller: —a connecting rod having a first end connected to the control means; and —an eccentric having a first end connected to the blade in order to rotate same about its pitch axis and a second end forming a yoke connected to a second end of the connecting rod by a pivot connection; the yoke of the eccentric being oriented towards the pitch axis of the blade.

  • Patent number: 11993365
    Abstract: An assembly comprising a propeller blade and its system for angularly adjusting the pitch of the blade including a bowl which is radially delimited by an annular wall extending about an axis for adjusting the pitch of the blade, the bowl having a bottom wall, a free lower end of the root being fitted axially into a complementary housing of the bottom wall in order to rotatably connect the bowl and the blade about the pitch-adjustment axis. The root of the blade comprises a first limiting face that engages with a first abutment face of the bowl to limit the rotation of the blade in the event of breakage of the lower end of the root.

  • Patent number: 11780562
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbomachine module (1), comprising: —a rotating housing (7-8) supporting a propeller provided with a plurality of blades (5), —a system for varying the pitch of the propeller blades (5), the system comprising a control means, and a mechanism for varying the pitch of the propeller blades, characterised in that the system is supported by the rotary housing (7-8), in that the control means comprise an annular row of rotary actuators (16), and in that the mechanism for varying the pitch of the blades comprises a synchronisation ring (11) that is driven to rotate by rotary output shafts (17) of the actuators (16), the synchronisation ring (11) being guided in rotation relative to the rotary housing (7-8) by guide means and meshed by a first toothing (13) with pinions (14) of the blades (5).
