Abstract
A turbine engine module of longitudinal axis X, including an unducted propeller intended to be rotated around the longitudinal axis X by a power shaft which is connected at least to a rotor member, at least one flow straightener including a plurality of stator vanes extending along a radial axis Z, at least one first casing mounted upstream, along the longitudinal axis, of the rotor member and a second casing mounted downstream, along the longitudinal axis, of the rotor member. The stator vanes each include a root housed in a sleeve which is connected to the first casing and to the second casing.
Claims18
A turbine engine module of longitudinal axis X, comprising an unducted propeller intended to be driven in rotation about the longitudinal axis X by a power shaft which is connected to at least one rotor member, at least one straightener comprising a plurality of stator vanes extending along a radial axis Z, at least one first casing mounted upstream along the longitudinal axis of the rotor member and a second casing mounted downstream along the longitudinal axis of the rotor member, wherein the stator vanes comprise roots housed respectively in sleeves, each sleeve is connected to the first casing and to the second casing,
- wherein the first casing and the second casing are distinct from each other and are linked to the sleeves by a plurality of connecting rods.
A turbine engine module of longitudinal axis X, comprising an unducted propeller intended to be driven in rotation about the longitudinal axis X by a power shaft which is connected to at least one rotor member, at least one straightener comprising a plurality of stator vanes extending along a radial axis Z, at least one first casing mounted upstream along the longitudinal axis of the rotor member and a second casing mounted downstream along the longitudinal axis of the rotor member,
- wherein the first casing and the second casing are separated by the rotor member along the longitudinal axis X,
- wherein the stator vanes comprise blades and roots linked to the blades and housed respectively in sleeves, the sleeves being evenly distributed around the longitudinal axis and around the rotor member, each sleeve is connected to the first casing and to the second casing,
- wherein at least one rotational guide bearing for guiding in rotation one of the roots of the stator vanes is housed in an internal housing of one of the sleeves,
- wherein the at least one rotation guide bearing comprising an internal ring that is secured in rotation to the root and an external ring that surrounds the internal ring, the external ring is secured to an internal wall of said one of the sleeves,
- wherein each sleeve is distinct from the first casing and the second casing, and
- wherein the roots have a radially internal free end with regards to the radial axis and which is opposite of the blade of each stator vane, the radially internal free end being outside the sleeve and an arm forming an eccentric connection at the radially internal free end, the arm being connected to at least one connection mechanism of a pitch change system.
