  • Patent number: 10539031
    Abstract: A turbine engine impeller including a disc bearing vanes, the roots of which are fitted in grooves which are substantially parallel to an axis of revolution of the disc. The root of each vane is connected to a blade by an integrated platform, the platforms of said vanes cooperating so as to form a radially inner wall of a duct for a flow passing through the blades. The impeller further includes two independent annular plates which are fixed to the disc, a first of said plates being mounted upstream of the disc and comprising a transverse annular portion which is supported on an upstream face of the roots of the vanes, and a second of said plates being mounted downstream of the disc and comprising a transverse annular portion which is supported on a downstream face of the roots of the vanes.

  • Patent number: 9784113
    Abstract: Single-airfoil vanes each having an inner platform, an outer platform, and an airfoil are obtained by three-dimensionally weaving a fiber blank in a single piece, by shaping the fiber blank to obtain a single-piece fiber preform, and by densifying the preform with a matrix to obtain a vane of composite material forming a single piece with inner and outer platforms incorporated therein. A plurality of vanes is assembled together at an intermediate stage of densification to form a multi-airfoil composite material guide vane sector for a turbine nozzle or a compressor diffuser and the assembled-together vanes are bonded together.

  • Patent number: 9708918
    Abstract: A turbine engine vane is made of composite material comprises a hollow airfoil with an internal passage extending along its entire length, an inner platform, and an outer platform. The airfoil is extended on the outside of the outer platform by an upstream attachment portion and a downstream attachment portion for mounting the vane in a casing. The attachment portions are formed by an attachment extending from the outer longitudinal ends of the pressure side wall and the suction side wall of the airfoil with continuity of the fiber reinforcing texture of the composite material between the walls and the attachment tabs.
