A relatively compact, lightweight outflow valve assembly includes suitable redundancy features that allow the valve assembly to meet regulatory requirements for certain postulated single point failures. The valve assembly includes a valve body that is constructed at least partially of a non-metallic material and has an outer surface and an inner surface that defines a flow passage having at least two flow ports. A sleeve is disposed within the valve body flow passage that is constructed at least partially of a metallic material. The sleeve has a flow passage formed therein that is in fluid communication with the valve body flow passage flow ports. A valve element is disposed within the sleeve flow passage and is moveable between at least an open position and a closed position. A plurality of brackets is mounted on the valve body outer surface and is coupled to the sleeve. When the valve assembly is installed in an aircraft, the plurality of brackets further couples the sleeve to the aircraft fuselage.

An annular bus ring assembly for connecting main rotor windings of a generator to the exciter diodes includes a plurality of annular bus rings with tabs bent over forming plurality of pads mounted on either side of a dielectric hub. The pads of annular bus rings clocked at an angle to each other to generate a pattern of plurality of pads on a equal angle spacing on a diameter to connect to the diodes by wire rope leads and a pattern of two connection at 90° spacing to connect to main generator leads.

A generator may incorporate a positively restrained balance ring. A generator may include a rotor core including a rotor, and a balance ring. The balance ring may include a weight. The balancer may include a plurality of balance holes in the ring, at least one of the plurality of balance holes to receive a weighted insert. A method of balancing a rotor of a generator may include mounting a balance ring adjacent to a rotor core, and adjusting weights to be located at one or more of a plurality of positions equally spaced around the balance ring to balance the rotor.

Methods and apparatus for retaining a butterfly plate within a valve housing after complete drive shaft failure. More particularly, the present invention is directed to the use of a pin extending between the butterfly plate and the valve housing where an end of the pin extends into a semi-circular channel centered on the center axis of the drive shaft. In preferred embodiments, the pin is immovably fixed to the valve housing, and extends into a channel on the butterfly plate assembly where the channel is sized, dimensioned, and positioned such that it corresponds to the path of an end of the pin as the plate rotates on the drive shaft.

A terminal block assembly for electrical generators, such as high speed AC generators used in aircraft, is made from components that are readily assembled and disassembled for ease of installation, maintenance, and repair. The terminal block assembly is formed of a terminal block and one or more terminal assemblies. The terminal block has a main body with at least an upper surface and a lower surface. A first cavity is formed in the main body lower surface, and an opening that extends through the main body between the upper surface and the first cavity. A threaded fastener is inserted into the opening and into the first cavity, and a bolt is coupled to the fastener to secure the fastener in the opening. Each terminal assembly is coupled to the terminal block and includes one or more electrically conductive terminal plates, feed-throughs, and slugs for connection to stator output leads, that are electrically and mechanically coupled together using electrically conductive fasteners.

A rotor for a high speed generator is constructed of a plurality of laminations and interlamination disks, which are disposed between each of the laminations. A coil support assembly is disposed within each of the rotor interpole regions and is secured to the interlamination disks.

A stator for a rotating electrical machine, such as a motor or generator, is wound with stator coils having non-slot-insertion segments that include a twisted segment that is twisted a predetermined number of degrees. The twisted segment is additionally bent at a predetermined angle relative to a reference plane. This combination of twist and bend reduces the likelihood of damage to the insulating coating on the stator coils, and increases the clearance between adjacent coils as compared to other stator designs. As a result, electrical interference between adjacent coils is minimized.

A high speed generator with a hydraulic rotor mounting system that dampens rotor vibrations at the rotor's critical speeds. Oil is supplied to a gap formed between the outer race of the rotor bearing assembly and the bearing liner. The oil provides soft bearing support for, and viscous damping of, the rotor.
摘要:
A high speed generator cooling system directs a cooling oil spray through a chamber inside a coil support wedge assembly, which may be disposed adjacent to the generator coils. Heat from the generator coils may be conducted through the walls of the coil support wedge assembly and into the chamber where it is removed by the cooling oil spray passing through the chamber. The cooling oil passes through a generator rotor shaft and into a cooling passage in least one of the rotor laminations.
