  • Patent number: 11788430
    Abstract: A counter-rotating turbine of an aircraft turbomachine, includes a casing including an endoscopy port configured for an endoscopy plug of a non-destructive testing device to pass into the casing. The endoscopy plug includes a mechanism for acquiring and transmitting images. The non-destructive testing device includes a mechanism for receiving and displaying images connected to the mechanism for acquiring and transmitting images by a wireless connection. First and second rotors are configured to rotate in opposite rotation directions, the second rotor having an endoscopy port in which the endoscopy plug is removably attached.

  • Patent number: 11549394
    Abstract: The disclosure provides devices for cooling a turbine casing for a turbomachine and methods of using the same. The devices extend around an axis (X) and include air-distribution means configured to take in air and convey it to the casing. The air-distribution means include a first ramp and a second ramp extending circumferentially about the axis (X), each ramp having air ejection orifices intended to be directed towards the casing in order to cool it The devices further include adjustment means capable of adjusting the flow rate of air ejected at the level of the first ramp with respect to the flow rate of air ejected at the level of the second ramp.

  • Patent number: 11261754
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbojet bearing housing including a fixed envelope traversed by a rotor, this envelope including a cylindrical end surrounding a seal ensuring the leak tightness of the cylindrical end of the envelope with the rotor, this envelope being equipped with a shell screwed onto the cylindrical end thereof, this shell including radial channels emerging opposite the seal while being arranged so that an air stream traversing the seal towards the housing mainly comes from these radial channels.

  • Patent number: 10598031
    Abstract: A turbine rotor is fitted to a turbomachine and includes disks each containing a coupling portion with recesses each holding a root of a blade, and coupled to one another by a first annular ferrule attached to one of them close to the recesses, and second rotationally coupled ferrules, which are respectively coupled radially to the disks, which each consists of at least two semi-annular sectors, and which form with the associated disk a space which communicates with the recesses of the coupling portion of this latter disk. In addition, each first ferrule includes through-holes enabling air to enter this space, and then the recesses, intended to cool the coupling portion which couples its disk and the blade roots.
