Patent number: 10619511Abstract: A device for attaching manifolds for cooling the casing of a preferably low-pressure turbine of a turbine engine by air jets. The device includes a mounting for the manifolds, shaped such as to keep the manifolds spaced apart from one another. A plurality of elements support the manifold mounting, each supporting element being attached to the casing, and connected to the manifold mounting by a connector. The device includes N cooling manifolds and N-1 supporting elements, each supporting element being arranged between two adjacent cooling manifolds.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Jacques Marcel Arthur Bunel, Emeric D'Herbigny, Alain Paul Madec, Pierre Tincelin, Benjamin Villenave

Patent number: 10054000Abstract: The invention proposes a casing (30) of an aircraft turbine (16), intended to support a set of ring sectors (28) which partly delimits a channel for the passage of a gas stream through the turbine (16), where the casing (30) includes means for dynamic adjustment of the radial position of the ring sectors (28) by controlled injection of an air stream on to portions (36) of an annular wall (34) of the casing (30), where the casing (30) includes an upstream radial tab (38) which connects an upstream end of each ring sector (28), in the flow direction of the gas stream, to the casing (30), and a downstream radial tab (40) which connects a downstream end of each ring sector (28) to the casing (30), where both upstream and downstream radial tabs (38, 40) are made from a single piece with the casing (30), characterized in that each radial tab (38, 40) is made as two portions (42, 44) from different materials.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Fabrice Marcel Noel Garin, Florence Valerie Bon, Jerome Etienne Robert Cameau, Jean-Marc Michel Lesaine, Alain Paul Madec

Patent number: 9366150Abstract: The present disclosure aims at achieving a mounting of a turbomachine stator blading while avoiding a delicate machining process of the engine casing. It also aims at simplifying the mounting as well as at reducing the costs, and at decreasing the number of item references for the engine. To achieve these objects, the turbomachine uses an extension of the engine casing. A turbomachine comprises at least one stator blading for air or gas stream flowing on the internal engine casing. The stator blading comprises a rim which is assembled on a radial extension of engine casing with an axial fastener. In a preferred embodiment of the turbomachine, the engine casing presents an annular wall provided with fingers originating axially from this wall and extending according to a curvature so that they present a radial extension tip against the rim of the stator blading.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Maurice Guy Judet, Jerome Etienne Robert Cameau, Fabrice Marcel Noel Garin, Alain Paul Madec

Patent number: 8651821Abstract: This blade attachment device comprises a shell (28) installed around an outer collar (23) of the pivot (15) of the blade (27) and capable of rotating by an angle sufficient for cleats (30, 31) to close the ends of the pivot groove and retain the root of the blade (27) in it, and mobile shims that cooperate to retain the root in the groove. Application to aircraft engines.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2009Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Daniel Bernard Dao, Adrien Jacques Philippe Fabre, Alain Paul Madec

Patent number: 8317482Abstract: A turbomachine blade including a plurality of blade sections stacked along a radial axis is disclosed. The projection of a line interconnecting the leading edges of the blade sections of the bottom stack onto a mid-plane presents a first longitudinal angle of inclination towards the leading edge that lies in the range 10° to 25°. The projection of a line interconnecting the leading edges of the blade sections of the intermediate stack presents a second longitudinal angle of inclination towards the trailing edge lying in the range 10° to 25°. The projection of a line interconnecting the leading edges of the blade sections of the top stack presents a third longitudinal angle of inclination towards the trailing edge lying in the range 20° to 50°. The bottom limit of the intermediate stack of the blade sections lies in the range 30% to 40% of the total radial height of the stack of blade sections.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2007Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: SNECMAInventors: Beatrice Nathalie Bois, Alain Paul Madec, Amadou Lamine M'Bengue
