  • Patent number: 10010976
    Abstract: A laser welding head is configured to fasten under a focusing lens for focusing the laser and including at least one annular nozzle for injecting a protective gas, and a protective chamber for protecting the focusing lens with a transverse flow of air. The annular nozzle is arranged around an unobstructed optical axis passing through the laser welding head. The chamber for protecting the focusing lens with a transverse flow of air includes air admission and air exhaust in register with the air admission in a plane substantially perpendicular to said optical axis. The laser welding head is configured to be fastened against the focusing lens without any lateral opening between the focusing lens and the protective chamber. The head presents a distance of at least 100 mm between an outlet of the annular nozzle and the protective chamber.

  • Patent number: 9933164
    Abstract: An annular combustion chamber (10) for a turbomachine (100), the combustion chamber presenting an axial direction (X), a radial direction, and an azimuth direction, and comprising a first annular wall (12) and a second annular wall (14), each wall delimiting at least a portion of the volume of the annular combustion chamber (10), the first and second walls (12, 14) presenting complementary fitting elements (12d, 14d), the first wall (12) presenting at least one first through hole (12f), while the second wall (14) presents at least one second through hole (14f), the combustion chamber (10) also having at least one pin (18) engaged in a pair of holes comprising a first hole (12f) and a second hole (14f), said pin (18) locking the fitting of the first and second walls (12, 14).

  • Patent number: 9506652
    Abstract: A combustion chamber, for example for a turbine engine, presenting an inner annular wall, an outer annular wall, and a pierced annular chamber end wall extending around an axis, the chamber end wall including at least one opening receiving a fuel injector, the opening being substantially centered on a circular line defining a first chamber end wall portion extending radially between the circular line and the inner annular wall, and a second chamber end wall portion extending radially between the circular line and the outer annular wall. First and second channels are inclined relative to a normal vector normal to the chamber end wall while extending tangentially, the first channels arranged to provide a flow of air in a first rotary direction, the second channels arranged to provide a flow of air in a second rotary direction opposite to the first rotary direction.
