Abstract:
Device for supplying oil under pressure to a linear actuator of a turbine engine, this actuator comprising an internal fixed portion and an external movable portion and means for regulating and supplying oil to chambers of the actuator, these regulating means being mounted radially outside the movable portion of the actuator, and the fixed portion of the actuator comprising on its upstream end portion oil passage channels of which the outlets open radially outwards, the device further comprising an oil distribution ring which is mounted on the upstream end portion of the fixed portion and which comprises internal conduits of which the inlets communicate with the outlets of the channels of the fixed portion and the outlets open axially downstream and are connected to the regulating means.
Abstract:
An epicyclic gear device for driving rotation of a first blade set of a turbine engine, the device: including a sunwheel centered on a longitudinal axis of the turbine engine and connected to a rotor of the engine in order to be driven in rotation; at least one planet meshing with the sunwheel; a planet carrier rotatably carrying the planet and connected to a first blade set in order to drive it in rotation; and a ring meshing with the planet; the sunwheel being connected to the rotor via a first constant velocity ball transmission joint.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a torque-measurement device for a turbine engine shaft (1) including a proof body (7) capable of being mounted on the shaft, characterised in that the proof body (7) forms a mounting for at least one acoustic-wave strain gauge (20) and is magnetised such as to allow the torque to be measured by magnetostrictive effect. The invention also relates to a method for calibrating the torque-measurement system including a first step of calibrating said device, the device being mounted on a shaft but outside of the engine, by applying reference torques to the shaft with the device and by establishing a rule regarding the relationship between the strain measured by said strain gauge and the actual torque applied, a step of mounting the shaft with the device inside the turbine engine together with placement of the magnetostrictive measurement system, the calibration of the first step being optionally reset with the engine stopped, and a step of establishing a calibration rule regarding the relationship between the torque measured by magnetostrictive effect and the reference torque provided by the strain gauges.
Abstract:
The turbine engine includes respective systems for changing the pitch of the propeller blades, the system (22) for the upstream propeller including a linear actuator (23) and a transmission mechanism (24) connecting the actuator to the blades in order to transform the sliding of the actuator into a rotation of the blades, said upstream propeller (2) including a rotatable housing (19) rigidly connected to a rotatable shaft (17) supported in a static housing (27) of the turbine engine by a bearing (29) upstream of the system, and by a bearing (30) downstream of the system. Advantageously:the rotatable housing (19) of the upstream propeller includes a support (36) rigidly connected to said rotatable housing and surrounding the static housing (27),the actuator (23) is annular and fixed to the support (36) of the rotatable housing, outside the support, and the transfer mechanism comprises connecting rods (33) and rotatable radial arms (34) traversing the gaseous flow path in order to control the pitch of the blades, andthe downstream bearing (30) is provided between the static housing (27) and the support (36), inside said support (36).
