  • Patent number: 11440144
    Abstract: The invention relates to a retaining device for disassembling a bladed wheel of a turbine engine. The invention is characterized in that the retaining device (100) includes: an inter-blade ring sector (101), a plurality of retaining clips (105), each retaining clip (105) cooperating with one of the damping elements (40), the retaining clips (105) extending radially while being attached circumferentially to the ring sector (101).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9988942
    Abstract: A support for carrying a tube for discharging oil-laden air from a turbine engine, the support including a radially inner annular portion for mounting around the tube, and fins extending outwards in a radial plane from the annular portion, each fin forming an angle relative to the radial direction. The fins have fastener zones at their outer peripheries, the fastener zones being inclined in the axial direction of the support so as to be suitable for fastening to an exhaust cone of the turbine engine.

  • Patent number: 9863278
    Abstract: A support for carrying a tube for discharging oil-laden air from a turbine engine, the support including a radially inner annular portion for mounting around the tube, and fins that are inclined relative to the axial direction of the annular portion and relative to the radial plane, the radially outer periphery of each fin being for fastening to an exhaust cone of the turbine engine.

  • Patent number: 9551236
    Abstract: An arrangement for the guiding of the flow of a liquid in relation to the rotor of a turbomachine, which includes an intermediary disc and a downstream disc of which the internal diameter and the axial position of the discs are defined in such a way that the tank is arranged inside the discs. The rotor supports a guide flange with an element of revolution of which the diameter of the section increases in the downstream direction, according to the direction of flow of the gases in the turbomachine. The downstream axial end of the flange is fixed to a portion of the rotor located downstream of the downstream disc and the upstream axial end of the flange is connected to the internal radial end of the intermediate disc.

  • Patent number: 9435225
    Abstract: An exhaust case for a turbomachine includes, from outside towards inside, yokes, a collar and a hub, which are annular and coaxial. The hub is connected to the collar by radial arms and extends between an annular flange and an inner collar capable of guiding a gas flow. In the hub each arm includes a rib in a shape of a triangle which ends with the flange. The inner collar is extended into the hub by a plate capable of transferring forces between the flange and the yokes. The plate can be advantageously inclined with respect to a radial plane. Two portions, which enclose a cut-out formed in a minimum-stress region along the plate, are coupled with pre-set plays. The case is capable of absorbing compression and traction at a thermal gradient.
