Definitions
- the present invention relates to a finned disc equipped with blades and separate platforms, intended in particular for a turbojet fan or for an aircraft engine compression stage.
- GB-A- 2 171 151 thus describes a rotor comprising vanes which comprise only one blade and one foot, separate inter-blade platforms being mounted by a bulbous foot in an intermediate cell formed on the rim of the disc. between two cells carrying the blade roots.
- this method of fixing imposing additional cells on the blade support disc does not give complete satisfaction for all applications.
- the object of the invention is therefore to produce separate inter-blade platforms for turbomachine rotors, associated with improved means of attachment to a disc ensuring retention both in the radial direction and in the axial direction while taking into account the weight reduction requirements, the benefit of which is obvious for rotating parts and which is also an important criterion in the aeronautical applications targeted by the invention.
- a finned turbomachine rotor disc of the type envisaged above, responding to these problems, is characterized in that that each platform comprises a plate delimiting the internal wall of the gas circulation stream and each axial end of which is connected to an element forming a fixing foot on the disc, cooperating with a cylindrical bearing formed on the rim of said disc, at least one of said platform feet being associated with a rider having a C-shaped section and securing said foot with a tooth-shaped element of the disc, a flange of an element neighboring the rotor and fixed to the disc being supported on said jumper so as to ensure axial locking.
- FIGS. 1 to 4b relate to a turbojet fan and in particular in the case where the mobile rotor stage comprises large-rope blades associated with separate inter-blade platforms.
- a fan disc 1 has axially oriented grooves, regularly distributed on the rim, at the periphery of the disc and forming cells 2 in which the feet are held of complementary shape to the fan blades 3.
- Said rim of the disc 1 is extended on its front face, front and rear being defined with respect to the normal direction of gas flow in the turbomachine, by elements forming teeth 4, spaced from the front face 5 of the disc 1.
- an annular ring 6 for axially locking the blades 3.
- the front part of the rim of the disc 1 has a cylindrical bearing surface 7. On the rear part of said rim, a cylindrical bearing surface 8 surmounted by is also provided. an annular spoiler 9, thus creating an annular groove 10.
- the disc 1 is also equipped with platforms 11 separate from the blades 3.
- said platforms 11 are metallic and are, for example in the case described of an application to a turbojet fan, of a light metal such than titanium or one of its alloys.
- Each platform 11, arranged between two consecutive blades 3 consists of an upper plate 12 which delimits the internal wall of the gas circulation stream, on the one hand peripherally between the two blades 3 and on the other hand longitudinally where the front edge 13 of the plate 12 is connected with the rear edge 14 of a support 15 of the inlet cone of the blower and the rear edge 16 comprises, for example, a connection groove at the front external edge 17 of a flange intermediate 18 fixed on the rear face 19 of the disc 1, for example by screw 20 at a fixing flange 21.
- Said plate 12 is supported by legs, on each side, respectively 22 at the front and 23 at the rear, which are terminated by flanges forming fixing feet, respectively 24 at the front and 25 at the rear.
- a reinforcing rib 26 is disposed under the internal face of the plate 12, in its middle, oriented in the axial direction, between the two legs 22 and 23.
- Said foot 25 cooperates with said annular groove 10 of the disc 1 and rests on the bearing cylindrical 8 while the foot 24, at the front, rests on the cylindrical surface 7 of the disc 1.
- a jumper-shaped element 27, arranged vertically so as to have in section a general shape of C keeps said front foot in place 24, the upper branch 28 of the rider cooperating with the upper surface of the foot 24 and the lower branch 29 cooperating with the internal faces of the disc tooth 4 and of the rod 6.
- a flange 30 of the support 15 of the inlet cone, in support on the jumpers 27, ensures the axial locking of the assembly.
- Each rider 27 and the disc tooth 4 further comprising respectively a corresponding bore in which is placed a pin 31 for positioning.
- the method of mounting the platforms 11 which have just been described is as follows.
- the rear foot 25 of the platform is introduced into the groove 10 of the disc 1 and the front foot 24 is supported on the front cylindrical surface 7 of the disc 1 then the rider 27 is positioned by placing the pin 31 on the tooth 4 disc.
- the support 15 of the inlet cone is put in place, the flange 30 of its rear part coming to bear on the jumper 27 and finally, a fixing flange 32 of said support 15 is fixed by bolts at 33 on a flange 34 integral with the front of the disc 1.
- each platform 111 comprises two box-shaped elements, respectively 111a and 111b, having a generally triangular or trapezoidal cross-section and joined along one side, thus constituting a central rib 126.
- box elements 111a and 111b can be obtained by winding or by stripping of fabrics of composite material and after assembly, they are joined together by a winding or stripping of fabrics also of composite material, creating an outer skin 111c and also constituting an upper plate 112.
- the platform 111 also comprises on each edge, a reinforcement element, respectively 35 at the front and 36 at the rear and these reinforcements also form the feet of platform mounting, 124 front and 125 rear respectively.
- FIG. 4b shows the detail of embodiment of the reinforcement 35.
- the peripheral lateral edges of the platform 111 each receive a seal, respectively 37 and 38 which provide the seal and the connection between the platform 111 and the blade 3 adjacent, on each side.
- the other elements of the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 are kept identical, in particular the fixing of the rear foot 125 engaging in the annular groove 10 of the disc 1 and at the front, the fixing of the front foot 124 by means of a jumper 27, axially blocked by the flange 30 of the support 15 of the fan inlet cone.
- the assembly method previously described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 is also kept identical in the variant embodiment according to FIG. 3.
- the means for fixing the platform can be provided at the rear identical to those which have been described for the front, namely using jumpers such as 27.
