A device for lubricating a component in an assembly of parts comprises a lubricant distribution chamber arranged in the vicinity of the component and formed by an annular setback in a ring mounted on a part of the assembly, said setback being closed automatically when the ring is mounted by means of a corresponding surface of the part into which there open out channels or ducts formed in the part and feeding the setback with lubricant and/or connecting the setback to means for taking lubricant to the component.

A variable-section turbomachine nozzle comprises a plurality of moving flaps, and a moving flap control system comprising control levers each associated with a respective moving flap, the control levers comprising both controlled levers that are actuated directly by actuators, and follower levers that are actuated by the controlled levers via transmission links. When the nozzle is at rest, the flaps associated with the follower levers present a radial offset relative to the flaps associated with the controlled levers.

Variable-section turbomachine nozzle

The turbomachine of the invention extends longitudinally along an axis, and includes a rotor attached to drive shaft, arranged to rotate around an axis, supported by at least a first bearing, mounted on the fixed structure of the turbomachine by a bearing support element. The turbomachine is characterised by the fact that it includes a stop ring, mounted on the fixed structure of the turbomachine, to cooperate with the support element of the first bearing and, in the event of displacement of the rotor in relation to the fixed structure, to perform a function of axial retention of the rotor in an even manner, with no angle effect between the axis of the turbomachine and the axis of the drive shaft.

Turbomachine with means for axial retention of the rotor

A turbo-jet engine including a fixed structure and a fan rotor mounted on a drive shaft supported by a first bearing and a second bearing. The engine further comprises an axial retaining device configured to form an emergency bearing and to cooperate with the fixed structure and mounted rigidly to the drive shaft. The engine includes a structural flange on which the second bearing is fixed, and the axial retaining device comprises a retaining disk mounted on the drive shaft and configured to cooperate with a stop disk of the flange to axially retain the fan and form an emergency bearing.

Turbo-jet engine with fan integral with a drive shaft supported by first and second bearings

The turbojet includes a fixed structure, a fan rotor fixed to a drive shaft supported by a first bearing and a second bearing. The second bearing is mounted on the fixed structure through a bearing support part. The first bearing is mounted on the fixed structure of the turbojet through a device enabling it to be decoupled from the fixed structure. The second bearing is mounted on the bearing support part through a link acting as a ball joint. The turbojet also allows axial displacements of the second bearing with respect to the fixed structure of the turbojet if the first bearing should be decoupled. The centering function of the second bearing after decoupling of the first bearing is thus provided without introducing excessive stresses in the bearing.

The invention relates to a ventilation system for a convergent divergent exhaust nozzle in a bypass turbojet comprising an afterburn chamber surrounded by an annular passage through which circulates a stream of cooling air, a convergent divergent axisymmetric nozzle arranged downstream of said afterburn chamber, each circle of flaps comprising alternately a plurality of controlled flaps, and a plurality of follower flaps, a circle of cold flaps arranged radially outside said nozzle and hinged at their upstream end to a conical shell linked to the downstream part of the casing. The means of cooling the divergent flaps comprise an annular plenum chamber delimited downstream by said conical shell and fed with cooling air through drillings made in a boundary wall between said plenum chamber and the downstream end of said annular passage, a plurality of distribution cells surrounding the plenum chamber and linked to the latter, said cells being delimited downstream by said conical shell and being arranged around the X axis in the planes of symmetry of the follower flaps and telescopic pipelines each linking a cell to the follower divergent flap situated in the same plane of symmetry as said cell.

Ventilation system for a convergent divergent exhaust nozzle

A device for supplying cooling air to a hollow flap of an exhaust nozzle in a turbojet engine. The device includes a tube connecting the hollow flap to a cooling air source. The tube comprises at least one telescopic portion and at least one ball-joint connection.

Device for supplying cooling air to exhaust nozzle flaps

The present invention relates to a convergent-divergent turbojet nozzle () comprising driven divergent flaps (), follower divergent flaps () interposed between the driven flaps, and means () for supplying cooling air to the follower flaps (), said follower flaps () having a box structure and having lateral openings for delivering cooling air towards the inner face of said driven flaps (), in such a way as to limit the heating up of these flaps when the turbojet is in operation.

Convergent-divergent turbojet nozzle

A turbomachine comprising, downstream from the turbine, a post-combustion chamber defined by a thermal protection lining inside a casing defining an annular channel for a secondary flow, an annular diaphragm secured at the downstream end of said channel, said nozzle comprising a plurality of flaps hinged to the upstream end of said casing, each flap fitted on its inside face with a thermal protection plate to define a passage for cooling air delivered by said diaphragm, wherein the cooling air is provided by an annular duct defined by a first flexible annular gasket in sliding contact against the downstream inside face of the casing and against the upstream inside faces of the flaps under the pressure of the secondary flow, and defined on the inside by a second flexible annular gasket whose upstream end is fixed to the radially inner zone of the diaphragm, and whose downstream end is in sliding contact against the upstream inside face of the protection plates.
