Abstract

A rotor disk for a fan in a turbomachine is disclosed. The disk includes in its perimeter a plurality of essentially axial grooves for the installation and retention of vane roots having hooks at their downstream ends, and deformable regions formed by cavities being situated at the downstream end of the grooves in attachment flanges for inter-vane platforms to absorb the stresses between the disk and the vane roots.

Claims (9)

1. A turbomachine comprising:

a rotor disk for a fan including, in a perimeter thereof, a plurality of essentially alternating axial ribs and grooves;

vane roots being axially engaged and radially retained within the grooves of the disk, each of the vane roots including a hook disposed at a downstream end thereof; and

deformable regions formed by cavities being situated at a downstream end of the disk,

wherein the cavities are formed in attachment flanges for inter-vane platforms, the flanges extending outwardly of the grooves and in line with the ribs of the disk, the cavities being oriented axially and tubular with closed bottoms.

2. The turbomachine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cavities are open at sides thereof and lead into the grooves.

3. The turbomachine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hooks at the downstream ends of the vane roots cooperate with an annular plate mounted on a downstream end of the disk so as to lock the vane roots axially in the grooves of the disk.

4. The turbomachine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the attachment flanges includes a hole disposed radially outward of the cavities.

5. The turbomachine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each hook of the vane roots is open radially outwardly.
