Abstract

A turbomachine rotor disk including inter-blade platforms fixed to ribs delimited by cavities in which blade roots are retained, and protective liners mounted between the flanks of the cavities of the disk and the blade roots is disclosed. The protective liners have a C-shaped cross section so that they can be fitted translationally and retained radially on the ribs of the disk and constitute a locking device which locks the platforms on the ribs of the disk.

Claims (19)

1. A turbomachine fan rotor disk comprising, at its periphery:

blades having roots that are retained in cavities of the disk;

inter-blade platforms fixed to ribs delimited by the cavities in which the blade roots are mounted; and

protective liners being mounted between flanks of the cavities of the disk and the blade roots,

wherein the protective liners have a C-shaped cross section so that the liners can be fitted translationally and retained radially on the ribs of the disk and form means of locking the platforms onto a peripheral external surface of the ribs of the disk.

2. The disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the platforms comprise roots pressed against the ribs of the disk, the roots of the platforms being engaged and retained in cutouts or openings in the liners.

3. The disk as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the liners can be moved translationally on the ribs between a position in which the liners release the roots of the platforms and a position in which the liners retain the roots of the platforms.

4. The disk as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the roots of the platforms comprise radial uprights and axial rims extending in an upstream direction from the radial uprights.

5. The disk as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the liner includes a central part connected by substantially radial uprights to lateral edges and the cutouts or openings are provided in the central part.

6. The disk as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the lateral edges of the liner extend over the entire axial length of the cavities of the disk.

7. The disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cavities and ribs of the disk and the protective liners have a helicoidal profile.

8. The disk as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the platforms are mounted on the disk by radial translation.

9. A turbomachine including a fan rotor disk, the fan rotor disk comprising, at its periphery:

blades having roots that are retained in cavities of the disk;

inter-blade platforms fixed to ribs delimited by the cavities in which the blade roots are mounted; and

protective liners being mounted between flanks of the cavities of the disk and the blade roots,

wherein the protective liners have a C-shaped cross section so that the liners can be fitted translationally and retained radially on the ribs of the disk and form means of locking the platforms onto a peripheral external surface of the ribs of the disk.

10. The turbomachine as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the turbomachine is provided in an airplane turbojet or a turboprop engine.

11. A protective liner for a blade root in a fan and which has a C-shaped cross section and comprises cutouts or openings which are formed in a central part connected by substantially radial uprights to lateral edges, the liner having a truncated helicoidal profile.
