Abstract

A device for rotationally blocking a retaining ring on a rotor disk three successive blocking hooks of the disk ( 10 ), two cleats of the retaining ring, arranged on either side of a split in the retaining ring. The position of the cleats on the retaining ring is such that, when the retaining ring is in place in a groove situated in the rotor disk, the two cleats are in respective abutment against the first and third blocking hooks, and the split is covered by the second blocking hook.

Claims (21)

1. A device for rotationally blocking a ring for retaining blades on a rotor disk of a turbomachine in a substantially axial direction of said turbomachine,

said rotor disk being provided with hooks spread around its circumference and defining a groove for accommodating said retaining ring, including in succession a first blocking hook, a second blocking hook and a third blocking hook, said second blocking hook being situated between said first and third blocking hooks, and said retaining ring being provided with a split and with two cleats arranged on a ring face on either side of said split,

wherein the position of said cleats on said retaining ring is such that, when said retaining ring is in place in said groove, said two cleats are in respective abutment against said first blocking hook and against said third blocking hook, and said split is covered by said second blocking hook.

2. The rotation-blocking device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

said first and third blocking hooks are each provided with a check face on their side which is opposite to the side facing said second blocking hook, and

said cleats of said retaining ring are each provided with a contact face oriented toward said split, and

said check faces cooperate with said contact faces in order to bring said cleats into abutment against said first and third blocking hooks.

3. The blocking device as claimed in claim 2 , in which said groove has two walls, one internal wall which is closer to the rotor disk and one external wall which is further from the rotor disk, wherein each check face is situated on the corresponding blocking hook and extends in the axial direction, starting from a free surface of said blocking hook and continuing as far as the internal wall of said groove.

4. The blocking device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said check faces are oriented in a radial plane of said rotor disk.

5. A disk/ring assembly of a turbomachine,

comprising a retaining ring provided with a split, and comprising a rotor disk provided with hooks spread around its circumference and defining a groove for accommodating said retaining ring,

wherein said rotor disk comprises a first blocking hook, a second blocking hook and a third blocking hook in succession,

wherein said retaining ring comprises two cleats arranged on a ring face on either side of said split,

and wherein the position of said cleats on said retaining ring is such that, when said retaining ring is in place in said groove, said two cleats are in respective abutment against said first blocking hook and against said third blocking hook, and said split is covered by said second blocking hook.

6. The disk/ring assembly as claimed in claim 5 ,

wherein

said first and third blocking hooks are each provided with a check face on their side which is opposite to the side facing said second blocking hook,

said cleats of said retaining ring are each provided with a contact face oriented toward said split, and

said check faces cooperate with said contact faces in order to bring said cleats into abutment against said first and third blocking hooks.

7. A turbomachine rotor, which comprises a blocking device as claimed in claim 1 .

8. An aircraft engine, which comprises a blocking device as claimed in claim 1 .
