Abstract

An aircraft turbomachine including a lubricant circulation pipe and a hydraulic pipe for controlling an actuator for changing a pitch of blades of a propeller of the turbomachine. The assembly, integrated to a receiver of the turbomachine, further includes a mechanism forming a thermal bridge between the lubricant circulation pipe and the hydraulic pipe.

Claims (16)

1 - 10 . (canceled)

11 . A receiver of an aircraft turbomachine, comprising:

at least one propeller comprising blades;

an actuator for changing a pitch of the blades of the propeller;

a casing, or an exhaust casing, including a hub and an outer ferrule connected by arms and defining between them a flow stream of the gases; and

at least one assembly arranged in one of the arms of the casing, the assembly including a lubricant circulation pipe and a hydraulic pipe for controlling the actuator for changing the pitch of the blades of the propeller,

wherein the assembly includes, in the arm of the casing, means forming a thermal bridge between the lubricant circulation pipe and the hydraulic pipe.

12 . The receiver according to claim 11 , wherein the means forming a thermal bridge includes a plurality of strips each including two ends respectively connected to the lubricant circulation pipe and to the hydraulic pipe.

13 . The receiver according to claim 11 , wherein the means forming a thermal bridge is made from copper or from one of its alloys.

14 . The receiver as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a thermal protection sheath covering the assembly formed by the means forming a thermal bridge and portions of the pipes connected by these same means.

15 . The receiver as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the lubricant circulation pipe and the hydraulic pipe travel side-by-side over at least a portion of a length of the arm that they pass through.

16 . The receiver as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a mechanical transmission device forming a reduction gear and comprising a planetary gear set, the device being supplied with lubricant by the lubricant circulation pipe.

17 . The receiver as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising at least one lubricated enclosure housing at least one roller bearing, the enclosure being supplied with lubricant by the lubricant circulation pipe.

18 . The receiver as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of assemblies distributed in different arms of the casing.

19 . The receiver as claimed in claim 11 , as a system of contra-rotating propellers.

20 . A turbomachine for an aircraft comprising a receiver as claimed in claim 11 , or located downstream of a gas generator of the turbomachine.
