  • Patent number: 11828192
    Abstract: A lattice formed of entwined links in a cavity encased by the external skin of a blade and provided with parts of low mechanical strength referred to as breakable, which are capable of rupturing when sufficient loads are applied thereto during operation of the blade. This arrangement, which concentrates the ruptures at given locations, will leave the rest of the lattice intact and therefore will not hamper or will scarcely hamper its properties of heat evacuation by conduction or convection or pressure loss, if for example ventilation air passes through it.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 17, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 28, 2023

  • Patent number: 11181009
    Abstract: An assembly for a turbomachine including an annular channel designed to form a flow duct for a flow of gas between two turbine stages of the turbomachine. The channel is bounded by a radially inner annular wall and a radially outer annular wall. The walls are connected by hollow arms that extend radially, a support having a radially outer annular part that is located radially outside the outer annular wall of the annular channel, and a radially inner annular part that is located radially inside the inner annular wall of the annular channel. The outer and inner parts of the support are connected by connecting parts that extend radially and pass through one of the hollow arms of the annular channel. The connecting parts may be connected by a connecting partition having a frangible part that ruptures when the mechanical stresses in the connecting partition are above a threshold.

  • Patent number: 8777490
    Abstract: An architecture making it possible to provide sufficient absorption of shocks for a power shaft while maintaining rigidity at front bearings so as to not compromise meshing of power teeth of a drive pinion. A compressible dynamic shock absorption is provided in alignment with a downstream shock absorber of an additional meshing. An assembly for dynamically absorbing shocks for a power shaft includes upstream and downstream bearings including power rollers mounted on two casings and flanking a speed-reducing teeth meshing. The downstream bearing is coupled to at least one additional roller bearing associated with a compressible shock absorber to form a downstream shock absorber axially offset relative to the upstream bearing opposite the teeth meshing. Both downstream bearings are connectable by a flexible frame mounted on the common casing. The architecture can be used for power-transmission shafts, for example supercritical shafts in turbine engines.
