  • Patent number: 11060420
    Abstract: An extraction device of a platform for holding a blade fitted with an upstream flange, out of a turbomachine rotor disc, and extraction method using the device. The device includes a handle fitted with a radial annular shoulder extended by a threaded pin, a proximal ring and a distal ring having a tube extended by a radial collar and a sleeve. The proximal ring is arranged around the pin, the tapped distal ring being screwed onto the other end of the pin and the sleeve being arranged around the two rings between their respective collars. Screwing of the handle results in moving the distal ring towards the proximal ring, radial deformation of the distal part of the sleeve against the flared part of the cylindrical orifice of the flange and its being joined to the latter. It is possible to conjointly extract the platform and the device from the disc.

  • Patent number: 10724388
    Abstract: A plug for preventing corrosion of an attachment opening, includes a bottom surface including an opening for receiving a head of a tightening device; a top surface; and a substantially cylindrical side wall extending between the bottom surface and the top surface. The side wall includes a first side area, wherein the plug is formed of a elastically deformable material and has a diameter at rest and resiliency enabling the plug to block, and be held in, a top portion of the attachment opening via resilient change in shape; and the top surface includes at least one first blind hole, the shape of which is such that, when the plug is subjected to an elastic deformation that causes a ridge to appear between the top surface and the first side area of the plug, the ridge is removed by elastic deformation of the blind hole.

  • Patent number: 9512724
    Abstract: A method for repairing a flange of a rotor, to a transverse surface of which a disk of a fan in an upstream turbo-fan engine is attached. The flange includes, in a form of a ring, openings for connecting to the disk and intermediate discharge openings. Wear marks are formed by friction of the fan blades on the flange. The method includes machining spot facings onto the flange, in areas with wear marks; placing anti-wear slugs in the discharge openings that can be covered by the blades during friction; and the spot facings extend between the connection openings and are circumferentially limited by clamping surfaces of the connection between the disk and the flange.

  • Patent number: 9500091
    Abstract: An aircraft turbojet fan including multiple fan blades including a support that includes a rear portion including a first surface located on an intrados side and a second surface located on an extrados side. A fan disk includes, between recesses, attaching flanges radially protruding towards the outside such that the first surface and the second surface are located respectively opposite two attaching flanges. The fan further includes a wear-resistant part installed on the blade to form a protective shell on each of the first and second surfaces of the support, preventing contact between each surface and the attaching flange located opposite it.
