초록 ▼

A fan drive gear system includes at least one intermediate gear that includes an axial gear passage for receiving and conveying a fluid suitable for cooling and/or lubricating. At least a first axial end of the intermediate gear includes a first fluid storage trap for capturing fluid entering and/or exiting the gear passage and storing the fluid therein during powered operation of the fan drive gear system. The fluid is capable of being passively supplied to the intermediate gear passage during an interrupted power event.

A fan drive gear system comprising: at least one gear that includes an axial gear passage for receiving and conveying a fluid suitable for cooling and/or lubricating;at least a first axial end of gear of said at least one gear includes a first fluid storage trap configured to capture the fluid entering and/or exiting the axial gear passage and configured to store the fluid therein during powered operation of the fan drive gear system, the first fluid storage trap including an opening to said axial gear passage and including a second opening axially opposite the opening to the axial gear passage along a centerline axis of the axial gear passage; andwhereby the first fluid storage trap is configured to passively supply the fluid to the axial gear passage during an interrupted power event via spillover. 2. The fan drive gear system of claim 1, further comprising; a sun gear interfaced with the gear of said at least one gear;a ring gear interfaced with said gear of said at least one gear; anda carrier body supporting the gear of said at least one gear. 3. The fan drive gear system of claim 2, wherein the first fluid storage trap comprises a radially outward base portion relative to an axis defined by said carrier body and at least one radially inward base portion relative to said axis defined by said carrier body. 4. The fan drive gear system of claim 3, wherein said radially outward base portion is defined on a first axial end by a radially aligned wall segment of said carrier body relative to the axis defined by the carrier body and said radially outward base portion is defined on a second axial end by a radially aligned wall of the first fluid storage trap. 5. The fan drive gear system of claim 4, wherein said radially aligned wall of said first fluid storage trap extends further radially away from said axis defined by the carrier body than said radially aligned wall segment of said carrier body. 6. The fan drive gear system of claim 4, wherein said at least one gear includes an axially aligned through hole having an opening at a first end and an opening at a second end opposite the first end; andsaid radially aligned wall segment of said carrier body extends to an edge of said opening such that excess fluid in said first fluid storage trap spills from said first fluid storage trap into said gear of the at least one gear. 7.

The gas turbine engine of claim 16, wherein the first fluid storage trap is operable to retain the fluid injected into said at least one gear, and return said fluid to said gear of said at least one gear. 18. The gas turbine- of claim 12, wherein said first fluid trap is disposed on a first axial end of said planetary gear and further comprising a second fluid trap disposed at a second axial end of said planetary gear, the second axial end being axially opposite the first axial end. 19. The gas turbine engine of claim 16, wherein said first fluid storage trap is a passive element. 20. The gas turbine engine of claim 16, wherein the first fluid storage trap is affixed to said carrier body via at least one of a seal element and a bond such that the fluid does not leak between said first fluid storage trap and said carrier body. 21. The fan drive gear system of claim 20, wherein said first fluid storage trap is affixed to said carrier body via at least the bond, and wherein said bond is at least one of a welded bond and an adhesive bond. 22. A method for providing fluid to a fan drive gear system during interrupted power comprising: disposing a first fluid storage trap adjacent an opening in a gear, wherein the gear includes at least a first axial end having a first fluid storage trap configured to capture the fluid entering and/or exiting an axial gear passage and configured to store the fluid therein during powered operation of the fan drive gear system, the first fluid storage trap including an opening to said axial gear passage and including a second opening axially opposite the opening to the axial gear passage along a centerline axis of the axial gear passage;receiving and retaining excess fluid in said fluid storage trap during powered operation of the fan drive gear system; andpassively returning said excess fluid to said fluid storage trap during unpowered operation of the fan drive gear system. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein receiving and retaining excess fluid comprises receiving said excess fluid exiting the gear and storing the excess fluid in the fluid storage trap.
