  • Patent number: 12486776
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a turbine rotor (1) comprising a rotor disc (2), provided at its periphery with a plurality of axial cells (23) for receiving a bilobed root (30) of a blade (3), each cell (23) comprising a radially inner cavity (232) and a radially outer cavity (231). This rotor is characterised in that it comprises a ring (4) for axially retaining the blade roots and an annular flange (5), the ring (4) comprising a radially inner portion provided with notches (43) and being arranged against the upstream face (21) of the disc (2), so that each of its notches (43) is located opposite a cell (23) of the disc (2), the flange (5) being secured against the upstream face of the ring (4), forming a space (E) with said disc (2), and comprising at least one air-intake opening (54) which opens into said space (E), and in that each blade (3) comprises a groove (33) for receiving the outer circumferential edge (46) of said ring (4).
