Patent number: 11988136Abstract: A turbomachine having a contrarotating turbine for an aircraft, the turbomachine including a contrarotating turbine of which a first rotor is configured to rotate in a first direction of rotation and is connected to a first turbine shaft, and a second rotor configured to rotate in an opposite direction of rotation and connected to a second turbine shaft. The first rotor includes turbine wheels interleaved between turbine wheels of the second rotor, the turbomachine further including a planetary-type epicyclic mechanical reduction gear which has a sun gear driven in rotation by the second shaft, a ring gear driven in rotation by the first shaft, and a planet carrier attached to a first stator casing of the turbomachine located upstream of the contrarotating turbine with respect to a direction of flow of gas in the turbomachine. The turbomachine includes bearings for guiding the first and second shafts.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignees: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINES, SAFRAN TRANSMISSION SYSTEMSInventors: Paul Ghislain Albert Levisse, Olivier Belmonte, Romain Truco, Olivier Formica, Fabrice Joel Luc Chevillot, Clement Paul Rene Niepceron

Patent number: 11773771Abstract: A turbomachine with a counter-rotating turbine for an aircraft includes a counter-rotating turbine and a mechanical reduction gear with an epicyclic, planetary-type gear train. The gear train includes a planet carrier secured to a stator housing of the turbomachine situated upstream from the counter-rotating turbine in relation to a direction of gas flow within the turbomachine. The planet carrier is secured to the stator housing by an annular part with an elongated shape extending inside the second shaft. The annular part includes an upstream end secured to the intermediate casing and a downstream end coupled to the planet carrier. The annular part also includes an integrated circuit for conveying lubrication oil from its upstream end to the planet carrier.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Paul Ghislain Albert Levisse, Olivier Belmonte, Fabrice Joël Luc Chevillot, Clément Paul René Niepceron, Amélie Argie Antoinette Chassagne
