Abstract

A retaining ring presenting, on its periphery, a plurality of radial bores, each of the bores being able to receive a blade root. The retaining ring also includes at least one first radial opening traversed by a compression tube and at least one second radial opening, the at least first radial opening and the at least second radial opening being separated from each other by at least one of the bores of the plurality of radial bores. The ventilation device finds a particularly interesting application in the field of turbine engines including a pusher open rotor.

Claims (11)

1. A retaining ring comprising:

a plurality of radial bores arranged on a periphery of the retaining ring, each of said bores being configured to receive a blade root;

at least one first radial opening traversed by a compression tube and at least one second radial opening, said at least one first radial opening and said at least one second radial opening being separated from each other by at least one of the bores of said plurality of radial bore.

2. The retaining ring according to claim 1 , wherein said first radial opening is positioned upstream from said retaining ring, and said second radial opening is positioned downstream from said retaining ring.

3. The retaining ring according to claim 1 , comprising a mask covering at least one blade root, said mask presenting a cavity to allow a flow to circulate under said retaining ring.

4. The retaining ring according to claim 3 , wherein said mask forms an internal ring with a U-shaped section, the upper part of said U-shaped section being covered by said retaining ring.

5. The retaining ring according to claim 3 , wherein each root is covered by a mask.

6. The retaining ring according to claim 1 , wherein for each radial bore, a first opening and a second opening are placed opposite each other, said first opening and said second opening are separated from each other by said radial bore.

7. The retaining ring according to claim 1 , wherein said second opening of said retaining ring comprises a diameter greater than the diameter of said first opening.

8. The retaining ring according to claim 1 , wherein said tube presents a length greater than a length of said second opening.

9. A turbine engine comprising a pusher open rotor, wherein the engine comprises a retaining ring according to claim 1 .
