  • Patent number: 10598096
    Abstract: The rotor disk (3B) for a compressor comprises, relative to the rotational axis of the disk: a radial web (4), blades (8) at the outer periphery of the web, a bore (5) at the inner periphery of the web, and a cylindrical side wall (12) extending the web in the vicinity of the ter periphery of same and having an air supply port (18), and—a centripetal air collection device (15). Advantageously, the device (15) comprises a cylindrical support (23) and at least one air supply tube (16), the inlet of which is turned towards the port (18) and the outlet of which is turned towards the bore (5) in the web, the disk comprising an inner radial flange (40) extending from the cylindrical side wall (12), the cylindrical support (23) of the device (15) being attached to said inner radial flange (40), and a ring (30) extending from the web (4), the cylindrical support (23) being centred on the ring (30).

  • Patent number: 10436043
    Abstract: A rotationally symmetrical part, such as a disk, for a turbine engine rotor. The part has a rotational axis (A) and includes, an annular row of teeth defining grooves therebetween for therein holding fir tree-shaped rotor blade roots. Each tooth includes a first side flank, having at least two projecting portions for holding a blade root and separated from each other by a hollow portion, and a second side flank including at least two projecting portions for holding an adjacent blade root and separated from each other by a hollow portion. Each tooth has, on substantially the entire longitudinal dimension thereof, a lack of symmetry in relation to a substantially radial median longitudinal plane. At least one of the circumferences of the projecting portions of the second flank is located between the circumferences of the projecting portions of the first flank and is radially shifted from the circumferences.

  • Patent number: 10138737
    Abstract: A rotor for a turbine engine includes a disk having cavities called primary cavities at its periphery; a plurality of blades each having a root of which the lower part is composed of a bulb locked axially in the primary cavities; a plurality of added platforms, each being arranged between two consecutive blades, wherein the platforms have: a substantially straight plate and a bulb extending radially under the plate, the bulb being locked axially in the secondary cavities arranged at the periphery of the disk, the secondary cavities being positioned between two consecutive primary cavities; a spoiler extending in the axial direction, the spoiler forming an annular sector facing at least two consecutive blades.

  • Publication number: 20170122117
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotationally symmetrical part, such as a disk (24?), for a turbine engine rotor. Said part has a rotational axis (A) and comprises, on the periphery thereof, an annular row of teeth (22?), said teeth defining grooves (34?, 34?) therebetween for therein holding fir tree-shaped rotor blade roots (10?, 10?). Each tooth comprises a first side flank (40?), comprising at least two projecting portions that are intended for holding a blade root and are separate from each other by a hollow portion, and a second side flank (40?) comprising at least two projecting portions (42) that are intended for holding an adjacent blade root and are separated from each other by a hollow portion. Said at least two projecting portions of the first flank are located on circumferences (C3, C7) centered on the rotational axis of the rotationally symmetrical part, and said at least two projecting portions of the second flank are located on circumferences (C4, C8) centered on said rotational axis.
