  • Patent number: 11162418
    Abstract: A turbine engine fan having an axis of revolution wherein a fan disk having an upstream face and a radial face is configured to receive a series of fan blades. An inter-blade platform wherein an upstream end, a blocking ferrule, are applied and attached on the one hand to the upstream end of the platform and on the other hand to the upstream face of the fan disk, and an inlet cone. The blocking ferrule includes a radial ring and a lug, extending axially from the radial ring and configured to form a radial abutment for the inlet cone.

  • Patent number: 10927699
    Abstract: Variable-pitch blade control ring (44) for a turbine engine, including an annular body (42) configured to be mounted so as to be rotatable about an annular casing (16) of the turbine engine. The body links to levers (34) for connecting to the vanes. The ring has a mechanism for guiding in an axial and/or helical direction, supported by the body. The mechanism includes at least one substantially radial finger (60, 62) for axial abutment on at least one first surface (72, 74) of the casing and for sliding on the surface.

  • Patent number: 10502087
    Abstract: An assembly for controlling variable pitch vanes in a turbine engine, the assembly comprising an actuating ring surrounding a casing of the turbine engine and connected by rods to variable pitch vanes. The actuating ring is configured to rotate around the casing. The assembly further includes a passive element including a first end sliding connected to a second end. The first end is connected by a sliding pivoting link on the actuating ring, and the second end is connected by a ball-joint link to the casing.

  • Patent number: 10385721
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for controlling variable pitch blades for a turbine engine, comprising an annular row of variable pitch blades extending about an axis (A) and each comprising a blade connected at the radially outer end thereof to a pivot (20) that defines a substantially radial axis of rotation of the blade and which is connected by a lever (34) to control means (40a, 40b) extending about said axis. The invention is characterized in that said control means include first links (40a) supported by said pivots and second links (40b) extending between said first links, said first and second links extending substantially along a same circumference of said axis and being connected to one another and to actuation means (56).
