  • Patent number: 11846194
    Abstract: A set of compression stage(s) of a turbomachine, forming an annular fluid passage and comprising at least one annular stator platform and/or at least one annular rotor platform having an outer longitudinal profile inclined (ISi/IRi) inwards and upstream with respect to a nominal profile of the fluid stream, where the inclination (ISi/IRi) of the outer longitudinal profile of the or each of the annular platforms, relative to the nominal profile of the fluid stream, oscillates along the circumference of the annular platform or platforms, between a maximum value in front of the blades of the annular platform and a minimum value between each pair of adjacent blades of the annular platform.

  • Patent number: 11149565
    Abstract: A turbine engine assembly including an air flow guide assembly, including at least one guide vane and at least one structural arm, the vane and arm extending radially about an axis. The arm includes an upstream end portion having a guide vane profile and including a leading edge aligned with that of the vane; a downstream portion; and an intermediate portion including an upper surface extending between an upstream end point and a downstream end point. The upstream end point is separated from the leading edge of the arm by an axial distance of between 0.2c and 0.5c, c being the length of the axial chord of the vane, and the angle of the tangent to the upper surface at the upstream end point is equal to that at the downstream end point ±1 degree.

  • Patent number: 10641289
    Abstract: The proposed invention is an airflow straightening assembly for a turbine engine comprising: —a cylindrical platform (15) centered on an axis (X-X), —at least one straightener blade (20) extending from the platform, —a structural unit (30) extending radially relative to the axis, and —a mechanical member (40) protruding from the platform (15), said mechanical member (40) being one of the group comprising: —a radial shaft, —an angle transmission box of a radial shaft, —an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic connection element, —an intermediate gear driving a radial shaft, the straightening assembly further comprising a fairing (50) or the protruding mechanical member, the fairing having a three-dimensional surface defined by: —at least one upstream end point (Ai, Ae) located axially upstream from the mechanical member (40) relative to the direction of air flow in the turbine engine, and —at least one downstream end point (Ci, Ce) located axially downstream from the mechanical member, the three-dimensional surface

  • Patent number: 10385708
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbine engine air flow guide assembly including: a structural arm (30); and a guide vane (21) on the lower surface of the structural arm, comprising a leading edge (22), a trailing edge (23), and a camber line (24), said vane and arm extending radially about an axis (X-X) of the turbine engine and defining therebetween an air flow channel. The structural arm (30) comprises: an upstream end (31) having a guide vane profile (21) and comprising a leading edge (32) aligned with that of the vane; and a shoulder (35) located on the lower surface of the arm, defining a neck in the channel. The assembly is characterized in that the area (Aneck) of the section of the channel at the neck is between 0.7 and 0.9 times the area (Ainlet) of the section of the channel at the leading edges.
