Abstract

Lubricating oil distributor for a mechanical reduction gear of a turbine engine, in particular of an aircraft, wherein it has a general annular shape around an axis X and is formed of a single part, the distributor including first and second independent oil circuits, the first oil circuit including a first oil inlet connected by a first annular chamber to several oil outlets, and the second oil circuit including a second oil inlet connected by a second annular chamber to several oil outlets, the first chamber including a section that is at least partially nested in a section of the second chamber.

Claims (19)

1. Lubricating oil distributor for a mechanical reduction gear of a turbine engine, said distributor having a general annular shape around an axis X and comprising first and second independent oil circuits, said first oil circuit comprising a first oil inlet connected by a first annular chamber to several oil outlets, and said second oil circuit comprising a second oil inlet connected by a second annular chamber to several oil outlets, wherein said first and second annular chambers are directly connected one to the other so as to form a single part, and in that said first chamber comprises a cross section that is at least partially nested in a cross section of said second chamber.

2. The lubricating oil distributor according to claim 1 , wherein the section of said first chamber is at least partially surrounded by the cross section of said second chamber.

3. The lubricating oil distributor according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second chambers extend over a same circumference.

4. The lubricating oil distributor according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second chambers have transversal directions, measured along the axis X, that are different.

5. The lubricating oil distributor according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second chambers have transversal directions, measured perpendicular to said axis X, that are different.

6. The lubricating oil distributor according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second chambers are formed by two coaxial tubular rings.

7. The lubricating oil distributor according to claim 6 , wherein the ring of said first chamber comprises an outer surface that is directly connected or connected by physical bridges to an outer surface of the ring of said second chamber.

8. The lubricating oil distributor according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second chambers have a cross section that is generally circular or polygonal in shape.

9. Reduction gear of a turbine engine, in particular of an aircraft, comprising a lubricating oil distributor according to claim 1 .

10. A method for manufacturing a lubricating oil distributor according to claim 1 , comprising a step of additive manufacturing of said lubricating oil distributor.

11. The lubricating oil distributor defined by claim 1 wherein said turbine engine is an aircraft turbine engine.

12. A lubricating oil distributor for a mechanical reduction gear of a turbine engine, said distributor having a general annular shape around an axis X and comprising first and second independent oil circuits, said first oil circuit comprising a first oil inlet connected by a first annular chamber to several oil outlets, and said second oil circuit comprising a second oil inlet connected by a second annular chamber to several oil outlets, wherein said lubricating oil is formed of a single part, and in that said first chamber comprises a section that is at least partially nested in a section of said second chamber, and wherein said first and second chambers extend over a same circumference.

13. The lubricating oil distributor defined by claim 12 wherein said turbine engine is an aircraft turbine engine.

14. A lubricating oil distributor for a mechanical reduction gear of a turbine engine, said distributor having a general annular shape around an axis X and comprising first and second independent oil circuits, said first oil circuit comprising a first oil inlet connected by a first annular chamber to several oil outlets, and said second oil circuit comprising a second oil inlet connected by a second annular chamber to several oil outlets, wherein said lubricating oil is formed of a single part, and in that said first chamber comprises a section that is at least partially nested in a section of said second chamber, and wherein said first and second chambers have transversal directions, measured along the axis X, that are different.

15. The lubricating oil distributor defined by claim 14 wherein said turbine engine is an aircraft turbine engine.

16. A lubricating oil distributor for a mechanical reduction gear of a turbine engine, said distributor having a general annular shape around an axis X and comprising first and second independent oil circuits, said first oil circuit comprising a first oil inlet connected by a first annular chamber to several oil outlets, and said second oil circuit comprising a second oil inlet connected by a second annular chamber to several oil outlets, wherein said lubricating oil is formed of a single part, and in that said first chamber comprises a section that is at least partially nested in a section of said second chamber, and wherein said first and second chambers have transversal directions, measured perpendicular to said axis X, that are different.

17. The lubricating oil distributor defined by claim 16 wherein said turbine engine is an aircraft turbine engine.

18. A lubricating oil distributor for a mechanical reduction gear of a turbine engine, said distributor having a general annular shape around an axis X and comprising first and second independent oil circuits, said first oil circuit comprising a first oil inlet connected by a first annular chamber to several oil outlets, and said second oil circuit comprising a second oil inlet connected by a second annular chamber to several oil outlets, wherein said lubricating oil is formed of a single part, and in that said first chamber comprises a section that is at least partially nested in a section of said second chamber, wherein said first and second chambers are formed by two coaxial tubular rings, and wherein the ring of said first chamber comprises an outer surface that is directly connected or connected by physical bridges to an inner surface of the ring of said second chamber.

19. The lubricating oil distributor defined by claim 18 wherein said turbine engine is an aircraft turbine engine.
