  • Patent number: 11873732
    Abstract: A vane of a turbine engine blade includes a first portion of structural resistance formed by two end portions including the leading and trailing edges and end strips of the lower surface and the upper surface, and of a core joining them. Two other portions of the blade are constructed of light material, composite for example, between the end portions to reconstitute the complete vane. The core has an oblique or diagonal extension between the end portions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10934884
    Abstract: An assembly (50) for a turbine engine includes an annular row of stator blades with a longitudinal axis (B) having variable pitch blades each comprising a radial vane (6), at least one of its ends of which is connected to a radially extending pivot (14) and being engaged in rotation around its axis (A) in a ring (16), characterised in that a tubular component (26) is mounted coaxially around the pivot (14), wherein said tubular component (26) comprises a first annular zone (26a) mounted tightly on the pivot (14) and a second annular zone (26b) comprising an annular bulge (28) extending substantially radially outwards in relation to the axis (A) of the pivot (14), wherein the annular bulge (28) and the pivot (14) define an annular space (30).

  • Patent number: 10584720
    Abstract: A blade portion of a vane is assembled to a platform portion by insertion into a cavity in the latter, in a lateral direction from an opening in the cavity, where the cavity possesses a back wall over at least a portion of its surface area. The bonding surface area between the portions of the vane is increased. The back wall of the cavity includes an inclined portion against which the portion of the blade makes contact at the end of its insertion movement, ensuring surface contact which is favorable to achieving an increased bonding area.

  • Patent number: 10471556
    Abstract: The invention proposes a method for producing a protective reinforcement for the leading edge (BA) or trailing edge of a blade (P), the leading edge (BA) or trailing edge being curved, the method comprising steps of flattening (102) a hollow tube (1) so as to form at least one fold line (6) extending along the tube (1), opening (104) the flattened tube (1) by cutting the tube (1) along a cutting line (8) opposite the fold line (6) with respect to the tube (1), so as to form two flanks (16, 18) linked at the fold line (6) and intended to be mounted on the pressure side and the suction side of the blade (P), the method being characterised by a preliminary step (100) of bending the hollow tube (1) carried out before the flattening (102) and adapted such that the fold line (6) after flattening (102) is curved and substantially matches the curved leading edge (BA) of the blade (P).
