Abstract:
A lubricating liquid manifold for a crankpin of an epicyclic gear train. The epicyclic gear train is lubricated by a lubrication system conveying a first flow of a lubricating liquid towards the manifold and a second flow of the lubricating liquid towards a member to be lubricated. The manifold comprises a hollow body provided with an inlet port intended to receive the first flow and an outlet port designed such that the first flow is conveyed towards a guide device connected to the crankpin. The manifold comprises a barrier comprising a shoulder connected to the body and a deflector protruding radially outwards from the body so as to form, with the shoulder, a diversion space for diverting the second flow and preventing it from penetrating into the manifold.
