  • Patent number: 11389860
    Abstract: A hollow turbomachine turbine blade including rising cavities communicating with a squealer tip of the blade through standard dust removal holes intended to remove dust and through inclined cooling bores intended to cool a barrier of the squealer tip by leading to a pressure side face of the blade, at least one rising cavity including a tip with no dust removal hole and an inclined cooling bore formed in its lateral wall and intended to cool the squealer tip barrier is enlarged to have a diameter at least equal to the standard diameter of a dust removal hole and thus also serve as a dust removal hole, so that the air flow extracted for cooling the blade is reduced, at least one of the cavities positioned facing the tip of one of the rising cavities having an increased volume corresponding to at least a volume deducted from the tip of the rising cavity.

  • Publication number: 20220170371
    Abstract: An aircraft turbine engine blade includes at least one inner cavity for circulating a ventilation air flow and having a wall with first projecting elements oriented in a first direction and forming air flow disrupters, and at least a second projecting element oriented in a second direction different from the first direction. The second projecting element and at least one of the first projecting elements overlap each other in one area. At least one of the first projecting elements overlaps the second projecting element and has a height (H2, H4?) which is greater than that of the second projecting element in the area and greater than that of the other first projecting elements of the wall, in order to retain its disruptive function along the entire length thereof.

  • Patent number: 11199100
    Abstract: A turbine blade includes a root and an airfoil extending from a base, through which it is connected to the root, to a tip. The airfoil includes an intrados wall and an extrados wall, connected by a leading edge and by a trailing edge with a cooling circuit. The cooling circuit includes a conduit with a duct and a manifold prolonging this conduit. The conduit collects air from the blade root to supply the duct and the manifold that is located downstream from the duct and that supplies the slits in the trailing edge with air. The duct supplies air to one end of the manifold close to the tip. The manifold is separated from the duct by a partition including a portion close to the tip that is curved to be concave when seen from the trailing edge.
