Abstract

An interblade platform for a blade support disc on a turbojet blower includes a deflecting part with a lower face provided with a first fixing lug provided with a first orifice for the passage of a first fixing stud and a second fixing lug provided with second and third orifices for the passage of second and third fixing studs. The fixing studs are intended to fix the two fixing lugs to the support disc between two adjacent blades.

Claims (17)

1. An interblade platform for a disc supporting blades on a turbojet blower, said platform comprising:

a deflecting part comprising a lower face provided with a first fixing lug provided with a first orifice for the passage of a first fixing stud, and a second fixing lug provided with second and third orifices for the passage of second and third fixing studs, said fixing studs being configured to fix said first and second fixing lugs to said support disc between two adjacent blades,

wherein said first and second orifices are placed in said first and second fixing lugs substantially opposite each other, so that said first and second fixing studs are substantially aligned on a same axis.

2. A platform as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said third fixing stud has a resistance to stresses less than that of said first and second fixing studs.

3. A platform as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said first and second orifices have substantially identical dimensions and are able to receive the first and second fixing studs having a first cross-section, and wherein said third orifice has dimensions substantially less than those of said first and second orifices so as to receive the third fixing stud having a second cross-section less than said first cross-section.

4. A platform as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said third fixing stud is formed with a material whose resistance to stresses is less than that of materials of said first and second fixing studs.

5. A platform as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said second and third orifices of the second fixing lug are placed alongside each other, substantially at a same level.

6. A platform as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said platform is formed with a metallic material.

7. A platform as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said platform is formed with a composite material.

8. A blade support disc, comprising a multiplicity of interblade platforms according to claim 1 , respectively interposed between adjacent pairs of blades.

9. An interblade platform as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said lower face of said deflecting part is free of any additional fixing lugs configured to be fixed to said disk beyond said first and second fixing lugs.

10. An interblade platform as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first and second lugs are fixed isostatically to said disk by said first, second and third studs.

11. An interblade platform as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said platform and said first and second fixing lugs are configured such that, when said third fixing stud ruptures, said platform is rotatable around an axis.

12. An interblade platform as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said platform and said first and second fixing lugs are configured such that, when said third fixing stud ruptures, said platform is rotatable around said same axis.

13. An interblade platform as claimed in claim 12 , wherein said third fixing stud has a resistance to stresses less than that of said first and second fixing studs.

14. An interblade platform as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said platform is free of any additional fixing studs configured to fix said platform to said disk beyond said first, second and third fixing studs.

15. An interblade platform as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said platform is free of any additional fixing studs configured to fix said platform to said disk beyond said first, second and third fixing studs.
