Turbomachine fan
View Patent ↗A turbomachine fan including blades mounted in slots at the periphery of a rotor disk, and inter-blade platforms having radial lugs for fastening to corresponding lugs of the disk is disclosed. Each platform is fastened to the disk by a pin inserted into orifices in the lugs of the platform and into corresponding orifices in the lugs of the disk.
1. A turbomachine fan comprising:
a plurality of blades having roots at their radially internal ends, the blade roots being mounted in slots at the periphery of a rotor disk; and
inter-blade platforms having radial lugs for fastening to corresponding lugs of the disk between the slots for mounting the blade roots,
wherein each platform is fastened to the disk by a single pin inserted into orifices in the lugs of the platform and into corresponding orifices in the lugs of the disk, each platform bearing axially and radially at its upstream end against an upstream lug of the disk and bearing axially at its downstream end against a lug of a downstream annular endplate added and fastened to the disk.
2. The fan as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each platform comprises a radial lug at each of its upstream and downstream ends.
3. The fan as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pin is inserted from upstream into orifices in the lugs of the platform and of the disk and comprises at its upstream end a head which is applied and clamped against an upstream lug of the platform by an upstream annular endplate attached and fastened to the disk.
4. The fan as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in the mounted position, the pin extends obliquely with respect to an axis of rotation of the disk.
5. The fan as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the pin extends downstream toward the outside with respect to the axis of rotation of the disk.
6. The fan as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each platform includes an upstream lug, a downstream lug and a longitudinal rib extending from the upstream lug to the downstream lug, and the orifice in the downstream lug of each platform is disposed radially higher than the orifice in the upstream lug of each platform.
7. The fan as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a radially external end of the downstream annular endplate sealingly cooperates with an internal fan casing.
8. A turbomachine, comprising a fan, the fan comprising:
a plurality of blades having roots at their radially internal ends, the blade roots being mounted in slots at the periphery of a rotor disk; and
inter-blade platforms having radial lugs for fastening to corresponding lugs of the disk between the slots for mounting the blade roots,
wherein each platform is fastened to the disk by a single pin inserted into orifices in the lugs of the platform and into corresponding orifices in the lugs of the disk, each platform bearing axially and radially at its upstream end against an upstream lug of the disk and bearing axially at its downstream end against a lug of a downstream annular endplate added and fastened to the disk.
9. A pin for fastening an inter-blade platform to a disk of a fan comprising a plurality of blades having roots at their radially internal ends, the blade roots being mounted in slots at the periphery of a rotor disk; and inter-blade platforms having radial lugs for fastening to corresponding lugs of the disk between the slots for mounting the blade roots, wherein each platform is fastened to the disk by a single pin inserted into orifices in the lugs of the platform and into corresponding orifices in the lugs of the disk, each platform bearing axially and radially at its upstream end against an upstream lug of the disk and bearing axially at its downstream end against a lug of a downstream annular endplate added and fastened to the disk, the pin comprises a body of substantially cylindrical elongate rectilinear shape which is joined at one end to a head having a larger diameter than the body.
10. The pin as claimed in claim 9 , which is made of a strong lightweight material.
11. The pin as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the pin is made of titanium or a composite.
