  • Patent number: 10590794
    Abstract: A turbine engine compressor includes a stator featuring an annular casing and at least one annular row of variable-pitch vanes, wherein each vane comprises a radially external end having a pivot mounted in an orifice in the casing and connected by a linking member to an control ring capable of pivoting axially in relation to the casing, where the linking member comprises a first end fixed to the pivot of the vane and a second end having a pin inserted in a hole in the control ring, where at least one of the holes in the control ring serves for insertion of the pins of the linking members, is oblong in shape and extends in the circumferential direction in order to allow movement of the pin in the oblong hole, during rotation of the control ring.

  • Patent number: 9982554
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly comprising a turbine engine casing and a bladed rotor wheel arranged therein. The casing presents an inside wall having a circumferential strip of abradable material. Facing the tips of the blades, the casing presents upstream the strip of abradable material, and downstream a circumferential groove. The strip of abradable material is defined downstream by the circumferential groove. The downstream end of the circumferential groove is in register with or downstream from the trailing edges of the blades. This arrangement optimizes the use of abradable material in the casings of the turbine engines.

  • Publication number: 20160348530
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbine engine compressor, in particular of an aeroplane turboprop or turbofan, comprising a stator featuring an annular casing and at least one annular row of variable-pitch vanes, wherein each vane comprises a radially external end having a pivot mounted in an orifice in the casing and connected by a linking member to an control ring (38) capable of pivoting axially in relation to the casing, wherein said linking member comprises a first end fixed to the pivot of the vane and a second end having a pin inserted in a hole (52, 58) in the control ring (38), characterised in that one (58) at least of the holes (52, 58) in the control ring (38) serving for insertion of the pins of the linking members, is oblong in shape and extends in the circumferential direction in order to allow movement of the pin in said oblong hole (58), during rotation of the control ring (38).
