Patent number: 11939917Abstract: An apparatus for oil lubrication of a rotationally fixed connection between two shafts. A first shaft engages with a hollow region of the second shaft. The shafts are operatively connected to each other in a form-fitting manner in the overlapping region. Oil is introduced into a first chamber in the hollow region, which chamber is connected to a second chamber in the hollow region. The second chamber is connectable to a third chamber is arranged in the overlapping region. The fluidic connection between the second chamber and the third chamber is separated above a defined oil volume in the second chamber and above a rotational speed threshold of the shafts via a sealing element. The sealing element is reversibly deformable by the oil volume in the second chamber and the centrifugal force acting thereon and, in the deformed state, seals the connection between the second and third chambers.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE DEUTSCHLAND LTD & CO KGInventor: Jürgen Beier

Patent number: 11867074Abstract: A gas turbine engine has an accessory gearbox disposed outside of a bypass channel and connected to a housing part, which radially delimits the bypass channel, in a connection region near the housing part and in a connection region far from the housing part. A connecting element is provided between the housing part and the connection region far from the housing part. A longitudinal axis of the connecting element includes an angle in the range of 75° to 115° with a vertical axis of the accessory gearbox. The connecting element can vary a distance between the far connection region and a connection point of the connecting element on the housing part such that deformation of the housing part and a resulting position change of the connection point cause a lesser deflection of the accessory gearbox than a deflection with an unchanged length of the connecting element.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2021Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE DEUTSCHLAND LTD & CO.

Patent number: 10309311Abstract: A gas turbine engine assembly is connected to a pylon for mounting the gas turbine engine to an aircraft. The assembly has a frame supporting at least one accessory independently of the gas turbine engine. Frame is attached to the pylon at forward and rearward engine mounting locations. The frame includes at least one hollow tube and at least one hollow tube is fluid tight. The one hollow tube is evacuated or contains pressurized fluid and a pressure sensor is provided to detect a change in pressure in the at least one hollow tube to determine if there is a leak in the at least one hollow tube and hence if the frame is damaged. This ensures that the frame may be repaired or replaced before there is a loss of operation of one or more of the accessories which may result in a failure of the gas turbine engine.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2017Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE DEUTSCHLAND LTD & CO KGInventors: Jürgen Beier, Gideon Daniel Venter
