Movable impeller for a turbojet and turbojet comprising same
View Patent ↗An impeller including a blade, a support of the blade which extends substantially radially, at least one intermediate part extending, in a substantially axial direction, between the blade and the support of the blade, and at least one damping device placed on at least one face of the intermediate part is disclosed. The damping device is segmented in an axial and/or circumferential direction into at least two elementary damping devices.
1. A movable impeller of a turbomachine comprising:
a plurality of blades, each blade including an air foil and a blade root;
a disk including a hub and an axisymmetric support of the blades that extends substantially radially;
at least one intermediate part disposed radially below the blade and extending in a substantially axial direction from the support; and
at least one damping means placed on at least one face of the intermediate part, said damping means comprising at least one layer of viscoelastic material and at least one counterlayer of rigid material,
wherein the damping means is segmented in an axial and/or circumferential direction into at least two elementary damping means.
2. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the damping means at least partially covers said face of the intermediate part.
3. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layer of viscoelastic material and the counterlayer of rigid material are attached to one another.
4. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the damping means comprises several layers of viscoelastic material and several counterlayers of rigid material that are placed alternately.
5. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 4 , wherein at least a portion of the layers of viscoelastic material have different mechanical characteristics.
6. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 4 or 5 , wherein at least a portion of the counterlayers of rigid material has different mechanical characteristics.
7. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the intermediate part comprises a zone of nonconstant thickness on which is placed the damping means, said thickness increases in an axial direction, from its edge closest to said support to its edge furthest from said support, or else increases in an axial direction, from its edge furthest from said support to its edge closest to said support or else increases in an axial direction, from its center to its edge furthest from said support and to its edge furthest from said support or else increases in an axial direction and in a circumferential direction.
8. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the intermediate part comprises an end connected to said support and the damping means comprises a main portion that is placed on said intermediate part and a lateral portion that is placed on a substantially radial face of said support.
9. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said intermediate part comprises an end connected to an end flange, and wherein the damping means comprises a main portion that is placed on said intermediate part and a lateral portion that is placed on a substantially radial face of said end flange.
10. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 8 or claim 9 , wherein said main portion and said lateral portion are connected by a connecting portion forming a beam.
11. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said intermediate part comprises one end connected to said support of the blade and another end connected to an end flange, and
the movable impeller comprises:
a first damping means comprising a first main portion that is placed on said intermediate part and a first lateral portion that is placed on a substantially radial face of said support, said first main portion and first lateral portion being connected by a first connecting portion forming a beam, and
a second damping means comprising a second main portion that is placed on the first main portion and a second lateral portion that is placed on a substantially radial face of said end flange, said second main portion and second lateral portion being connected by a second connecting portion forming a beam.
12. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
said intermediate part comprises one end connected to said support of the blade and another end connected to an end flange, and
the movable impeller comprises:
a first damping means comprising a first main portion that is placed on said intermediate part and a first lateral portion that is placed on a substantially radial face of said end flange, said first main portion and first lateral portion being connected by a first connecting portion forming a beam, and
a second damping means comprising a second main portion that is placed on the first main portion and a second lateral portion that is placed on a substantially radial face of said support, said second main portion and second lateral portion being connected by a second connecting portion forming a beam.
13. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 1 , comprising a damping means placed on an inner face of said intermediate part or else on an outer face of said intermediate part.
14. A movable impeller, of the type comprising a disk or a ring supporting blades as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said intermediate part is a collar of the disk or of the ring.
15. A turbojet comprising at least one impeller as claimed in claim 1 .
16. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the movable impeller is a monobloc bladed disk.
17. The movable impeller as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the layer of viscoelastic material and the counterlayer of rigid material are attached to one another by an adhesive.
