Embodiment Construction

[0045] figure 1 An aircraft, eg an aircraft 2 , is shown having four turbine engines 1 . Aircraft 2 generally comprise an even number of turbine engines 1 , for example two or four. The term turbine engine 1 is known to those skilled in the art. The turbine engine may be, for example, a turbojet or a turboprop. The turbine engine 1 generally includes various components such as a fan, one or more compressors, a cooling circuit, a combustor and one or more turbines.

[0046] figure 2 A turbine engine 1 according to the invention, a mobile device 50 and an operator are schematically shown. The turbine engine includes one or more oil reservoirs 3 for providing lubrication to various components. The oil reservoir 3 includes an inlet 20 for supplying oil thereto. The turbine engine 1 according to the invention also comprises a sensor 4 for measuring the oil level in the oil reservoir 3 . Various types of sensors known to those skilled in the art can be used. For example a s...

Abstract

System for maintaining a turbine engine (1) comprising said turbine engine (1) of an aircraft (2) comprising: an oil reservoir (3), a sensor (4) able to measure an oil level in the oil reservoir (3), a transmission device (5) for transmitting a signal coupled to said sensor (4) in order to transmit information relating to an oil level measured by said sensor (4), communication means (6) coupled to said transmission devices (5) for communicating to the outside of the aircraft (2) information representing an oil level measured by said sensor (4). The maintenance system further comprises a mobile apparatus (50) able to communicate with said communication means (6) and comprising a display for displaying said information representing an oil level to an operator situated on the ground outside the aircraft (2).

Description

technical field [0001] According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a system for maintaining an aircraft turbine engine. According to a second aspect, the invention relates to a method for maintaining an aircraft turbine engine on the ground. Background technique [0002] In aviation, maintenance operations on the ground are necessary. In general, aviation systems (airlines) in particular need to be able to easily measure the oil level in an aircraft engine between flights, for example to comply with a pilot's request. [0003] Usually a direct measurement procedure is followed to determine the oil level. According to a first mode, the operator looks through a viewing window present on the face of the oil reservoir to directly observe the oil level. According to a second way, he inserts a stick (or rod, also called a dipstick) through the oil reservoir cap. By withdrawing the rod, the oil level can be deduced from the position of the oil-covered part of the rod....
