GUIDE VANES ASSEMBLY WITH POSITION-MAINTAINING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546169 titled 'GUIDE VANES ASSEMBLY WITH POSITION-MAINTAINING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a turbine engine nozzle with a vane assembly positioned between an outer shroud and an inner shroud. A position retaining device is used to apply stress on the vane assembly towards the outer shroud by being placed in an elastically prestressed state between the inner shroud and an inner platform of the vane assembly.
- The turbine engine nozzle includes a vane assembly mounted between an outer shroud and an inner shroud.
- A position retaining device is used to apply stress on the vane assembly towards the outer shroud.
- The stress is achieved by placing the position retaining device in an elastically prestressed state between the inner shroud and an inner platform of the vane assembly.
- The contact between the inner shroud and the inner platform is facilitated by the position retaining device.
Potential Applications: - Aerospace industry for aircraft engines - Power generation for gas turbines - Marine propulsion systems
Problems Solved: - Improved stability and performance of turbine engine nozzles - Enhanced durability and efficiency of vane assemblies - Simplified assembly and maintenance processes
Benefits: - Increased engine efficiency - Extended component lifespan - Reduced maintenance costs
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Turbine Engine Nozzle Technology for Enhanced Performance This technology can be utilized in aircraft engines, gas turbines for power generation, and marine propulsion systems to improve efficiency and durability, leading to cost savings and enhanced performance in various industries.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology can be found in patents and research papers on turbine engine design, vane assembly configurations, and stress application mechanisms in aerospace engineering.
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of turbine engine design and materials science may provide further insights into optimizing the performance and durability of turbine engine nozzles with innovative position retaining devices.
Questions about Turbine Engine Nozzle Technology: 1. How does the position retaining device contribute to the overall stability of the vane assembly? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of turbine engines?
Original Abstract Submitted
A turbine engine nozzle extending about an axis and including a vane assembly mounted between an outer shroud and an inner shroud; and a position retaining device configured to be placed in an elastically prestressed state between the inner shroud and an inner platform of the vane assembly to apply a stress on the vane assembly towards the outer shroud. The contact between the inner shroud and the inner platform is obtained by one same surface of the position retaining device.
