Abstract

Devices for distributing oil to a rolling bearing for an aircraft turbine engine include a rolling bearing including two rings, respectively an inner ring and an outer ring, an oil distribution ring configured to be mounted on a turbine engine shaft, said distribution ring including a first outer cylindrical surface for mounting the inner ring of the bearing, an oil recovery scoop supplying a lubricating circuit of the bearing, and an annular track of a dynamic seal. The distribution ring and the track are formed by a single-piece body, and the lubricating circuit is formed in said body and extends into the distribution ring and the track.

Claims (16)

1. A device for distributing oil to a rolling bearing for an aircraft turbine engine, comprising:

a rolling bearing comprising an inner ring and an outer ring,

an oil distribution ring configured to be mounted on a turbine engine shaft, said distribution ring comprising:

a first outer cylindrical surface configured for mounting the inner ring of the rolling bearing; and

an oil recovery scoop supplying a circuit configured for lubricating said rolling bearing; and

an annular track of a dynamic seal,

wherein said distribution ring and said track are formed by a single-part body, and wherein said circuit is formed in the single-part body and extends into the distribution ring and the track.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said single-part body comprises a second outer cylindrical surface configured for supporting the seal, and wherein said circuit comprises at least one first channel of elongated shape comprising a first axial end opening at a level of said scoop, and an opposite second axial end surrounded by said second outer cylindrical surface.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein said circuit comprises at least one second elongated channel comprising a third axial end connected to the second axial end of said at least one first channel, and an opposite fourth axial end opening at a level of said first outer cylindrical surface.

4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein said at least one first channel is located on a circumference centred on an axis of the rolling bearing, wherein the circumference has a diameter D 1 , and said at least one second channel is located on a second circumference centred on the axis, wherein the second circumference has a diameter D 2 , with D 1 being less than D 2 , wherein D 2 is less than a diameter D 3 of said second outer cylindrical surface.

5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the second axial end and the third axial end are connected to each other by at least one of a bent conduit, a zig-zag conduit, or a spiral or helical conduit.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein at least one of said at least one first channel or said at least one second channel is at least partly filled with a honeycomb structure forming a lattice.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein at least one of said at least one first channel or said at least one second channel has a cross-sectional shape selected from the group consisting of: circular, triangular, rectangular, and trapezoidal.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein said single-part body comprises an annular shoulder configured for bearing a first axial end of the inner ring, said single-part body further comprising a thread configured for screwing a nut configured to bear on a second opposite axial end of the inner ring.

9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein said at least one second channel has a fourth axial end opening between said first surface and said thread.

10. A turbine engine comprising at least one device according to claim 1 .
