  • Patent number: 11767767
    Abstract: A turbine stator sector includes a plurality of vanes extending along a radial direction between a first end and a second end and along an axial direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The sector further includes an internal shroud linked to the first end of the vanes and an external shroud linked to the second end of the vanes. The sector includes at least one annular portion forming all or part of the internal shroud or of the external shroud. The annular portion includes a first partition present at the junction with the first or the second end of the vanes and a second partition held spaced from the first partition along the radial direction by a three-dimensional structure including a plurality of cutouts.

  • Patent number: 10337527
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbomachine blade comprising a vane. The vane comprises a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure face and a suction face spaced apart from each other and connecting the leading edge to the trailing edge. The vane further comprises at least one internal cavity between the pressure face and the suction face, wherein air is intended to flow. The vane comprises intersecting transverse partitions, downstream of the cavity, so that air can flow from the cavity in the direction of the trailing edge between the intersecting partitions.

  • Patent number: 9709072
    Abstract: An angular diffuser sector for a turbine engine compressor is provided. The sector includes an inner shroud; an outer shroud; a vane; a casing element mounted at least in part around one of the shrouds and having an open groove facing an axial end of the corresponding shroud; a wedge-forming fitting interposed between the casing element and the corresponding shroud, the wedge presenting a first surface that contacts with a bearing surface of the axial end of the corresponding shroud, and a second surface that is inclined relative to the first surface and that contacts with a corresponding sloping surface of the groove in the casing element; and a device that exerts an axial force on the wedge so as to keep its first surface in contact with the bearing surface and its second surface in contact with the sloping surface of the groove in the casing element.

  • Patent number: 7887286
    Abstract: A sector of a compressor guide vanes assembly or a sector of a turbomachine nozzle assembly. It comprises an inner ring sector (4), an outer ring sector (6) and a multitude of blades (8) connecting the inner ring sector (4) to the outer ring sector (6). The outer ring sector (6) or the inner ring sector (4) comprises radial cuts (10) situated between two consecutive blades (8) in such a way as to split them into the same number of elementary sectors as there are blades. Housings (14) are provided, secant to the radial cuts (10), damping inserts (16) being positioned in said housings.
