Fan platform fin
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a fan platform of a bypass turbomachine having a primary stream and a secondary stream. The platform defines a portion of the surface of the nose around which the primary stream flows and that carries blades extending radially outwards from said platform. Between two adjacent blades, the platform has at least one rib projecting into the space between the two blades, said rib being designed to participate in compressing the primary air stream.
1. A fan platform for a bypass turbomachine having a primary stream and a secondary stream, said platform defining a portion of a surface of a nose about which the primary stream flows and carrying blades that extend radially outwards from said platform, the platform between two adjacent blades including at least one rib projecting into a space between the two blades,
wherein said at least one rib is designed to participate in compressing the air of the primary stream, and extends in the space defined between the blades within 40% thereof that is furthest downstream in a flow direction of the primary stream such that said at least one rib is entirely located within the 40% of the downstream portion of the space, and
wherein a radially-outer end of said at least one rib is inclined in a direction of rotation of said platform.
2. A fan platform according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one rib extends in the space defined between the blades within 30% furthest downstream in the flow direction of the primary stream.
3. A fan platform according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one rib is forged with the platform.
4. A fan platform according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one rib is machined in the platform.
5. A fan platform according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between a tip of said at least one rib and a location where a leading edge of said rib meets said platform is greater than a distance between said tip and a location where a trailing edge of said rib meets said platform.
6. A fan platform for a bypass turbomachine having a primary stream and a secondary stream, said platform defining a portion of a surface of a nose about which the primary stream flows and carrying blades that extend radially outwards from said platform, the platform between two adjacent blades including at least one rib projecting into a space between the two blades,
wherein said at least one rib is designed to participate in compressing the air of the primary stream, and extends in the space defined between the blades within 40% thereof that is furthest downstream in a flow direction of the primary stream such that said at least one rib is entirely located within the 40% of the downstream portion of the space,
wherein said at least one rib is curved over its entire radial extent in a direction of rotation of said platform.
7. A fan platform according to claim 1 , having two ribs between two adjacent blades.
8. A turbomachine fan comprising blades attached to a platform according to claim 1 .
9. A turbomachine provided with a fan according to claim 8 .
10. A fan platform according to claim 6 , wherein said at least one rib extends in the space defined between the blades within 30% furthest downstream in the flow direction of the primary stream.
11. A fan platform according to claim 6 , wherein said at least one rib is forged with the platform.
12. A fan platform according to claim 6 , wherein said at least one rib is machined in the platform.
13. A fan platform according to claim 6 , wherein a distance between a tip of said at least one rib and a location where a leading edge of said rib meets said platform is greater than a distance between said tip and a location where a trailing edge of said rib meets said platform.
14. A fan platform according to claim 6 , having two ribs between two adjacent blades.
15. A turbomachine fan comprising blades attached to a platform according to claim 6 .
16. A turbomachine provided with a fan according to claim 15 .
