Turbomachine blade
View Patent ↗The turbomachine blade has ribs formed in the vicinity of the trailing edge. Over the major fraction of the trailing edge ( 42 ), in zones where the temperature in operation is particularly high, the ends ( 53 ) of the ribs are closer to the trailing edge and/or the sections of the ribs (F) are greater. Thereby, the design of the blade is optimized and the lifetime thereof is increased.
1. A turbomachine blade comprising:
ribs formed on a pressure side of said blade in the vicinity of a trailing edge of said blade,
wherein over a major fraction of the trailing edge, in zones where the temperature in operation is particularly high, ends of the ribs are closer to the trailing edge and/or the sections of the ribs are greater.
2. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein over the major fraction of the trailing edge, the strength of the ribs is increased in the vicinity of the trailing edge in zones where the temperature of the blade in operation is particularly high.
3. A blade according to claim 1 , including a platform, and having a set of short ribs in the vicinity thereof.
4. A blade according to claim 1 , in which slots are left between consecutive ribs with air injection holes being formed in said slots.
5. A turbomachine high-pressure turbine including at least one blade according to claim 1 .
6. A turbomachine including at least one blade according to claim 1 .
7. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein said blade has a main surface on a majority of said pressure side, said main surface extending from a leading edge of said blade toward said trailing edge, said main surface being interrupted at a step, wherein said main surface is free of said ribs, and wherein said ribs extends from said step toward said trailing edge.
8. A blade according to claim 7 , wherein said ribs extend from said step toward said trailing edge along variable lengths, wherein a plurality of said ribs extends substantially to the trailing edge and another plurality of ribs are substantially shorter.
9. A blade according to claim 8 , wherein said blade has a temperature profile that varies along said trailing edge, and the lengths of said ribs are a function of said temperature profile.
10. A blade according to claim 9 , wherein said ribs have a same section and are spaced apart regularly along said trailing edge.
11. A blade according to claim 7 , wherein said ribs have different sections, wherein a plurality of said ribs having a relatively great section and another plurality of ribs have a relatively small section.
12. A blade according to claim 11 , wherein said blade has a temperature profile that varies along said trailing edge, and the sections of said ribs are a function of said temperature profile.
13. A blade according to claim 7 , wherein said ribs are spaced apart over different distances, wherein a plurality of said ribs are relatively close to each other and another plurality of ribs are relatively far apart from each other.
14. A blade according to claim 13 , wherein said blade has a temperature profile that varies along said trailing edge, and the distances between each rib is a function of said temperature profile.
