摘要:
A screw machine (10) has a rotor housing (12) defining overlapping bores (12-1, 12-2). Female rotor (14) is located in bore (12-1) and male rotor (16) is located in bore (12-2). A wear resistant coating is deposited on the tips (14-1, 16-1) of the rotors. A conformable coating is deposited on the valleys (14-2, 16-2) of the rotors. A conformable coating is depsoited on the surface of the bores coacting with the rotors.
摘要:
Zero clearance screw rotor profiles are modified by determining clearance requirements at spaced points on the profiles and varying the clearance distribution between adjacent points using a non-linear distribution. Additionally, when the clearances are put in the rotors, zero clearance is maintained between the rotors in the contact band which is maintained near the pitch circle.

The point of tangency of the tip circle of the male rotor and the root circle of the female rotor is used as a starting point in generating the series of curves defining the male and female conjugate rotor profiles. The present invention provides: reduced viscous drag through the use of a departure angle; strengthened female lobes by controlling thickness along the pitch circle; opened root of male rotor to enhance manufacturability and tool life; a tortuous leakage path for gas traveling from a high pressure thread to a low pressure thread; better control of root diameter; and control of the pressure angle independently of the other variables.

A mid-turbine frame connected to at least one mount of a gas turbine engine transfers a first load from a first bearing and a second load from a second bearing to the mount. The mid-turbine frame includes a single point load structure and a plurality of struts. The single point load structure combines the first load and the second load into a combined load. The plurality of struts is connected to the single point load structure and transfers the combined load from the single point load structure to the mount.

A mid-turbine frame connected to at least one mount of a gas turbine engine transfers a first load from a first bearing and a second load from a second bearing to the mount. The mid-turbine frame includes a plurality of inverted panels and a plurality of struts. The inverted panels convert the first and second loads to a shear flow. The struts are connected to the inverted panels and transfer the shear flow to the mount.
摘要:
An engine casing for a mid-turbine frame having a plurality of radially extending struts includes a ring structure and at least one mount. The ring structure has an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a plurality of equally spaced dimples along the exterior surface and protruding from the interior surface. The ring structure is connected to each of the plurality of struts at the interior surface at the dimples. The mount is positioned within each of the dimples and transfers load to the engine casing.

摘要:
An expandable mid-turbine frame assembly includes a first bearing cone, a second bearing cone and a mid-turbine frame. The mid-turbine frame assembly connects to a gas turbine engine casing and transfers a first load from a first bearing and a second load from a second bearing towards the engine casing. The first bearing cone transfers the first load from the first bearing. The second bearing cone transfers the second load from the second bearing. The mid-turbine frame is connected to the first and second bearing cones and includes segments. Each segment includes a pre-stressed support for equilibrating the first and second loads.
摘要:
A method for varying the geometry of a mid-turbine frame includes detecting a strain in a mid-turbine frame with a piezoelectric material; applying a deformation voltage to the piezoelectric material as a function of the detected strain; deforming the piezoelectric material to actuate an actuation plate; and repositioning an engine casing through the actuation of the actuation plate.
