A hub of a propeller with variable-pitch blades for a turbine engine, for example for a propfan engine. The hub of the propeller includes a polygonal ring with substantially radial cylindrical recesses distributed about a central axis of the ring for receiving the blades, a turbine rotor element of the turbine engine, and a securing flange that is attached to the ring so as to connect the ring to the rotor element. The hub further includes a plurality of back-up hooks inserted with clearance in openings, the back-up hooks being connected either to the ring or to the rotor element, and the openings being connected to the other one of the two.
1. A propeller hub with variable-pitch blades for a turboengine, comprising:
a polygonal ring including substantially radial cylindrical recesses distributed about a central axis of the polygonal ring to receive the blades;
a turbine rotor element of the turboengine;
a securing flange attached to the polygonal ring so as to connect the polygonal ring to the turbine rotor element; and
a plurality of back-up hooks inserted in an axial direction of the polygonal ring into openings with clearance in the openings, the back-up hooks being connected to either the polygonal ring or the turbine rotor element, and the openings being connected to the other one of the polygonal ring or the turbine rotor element.
2. The propeller hub as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the back-up hooks are held by radial plates attached to the turbine rotor element.
3. The propeller hub as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each radial plate bears at least two pins forming back-up hooks and that have a substantially circular cross section.
4. The propeller hub as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the back-up hooks have a non-round cross section, as in the openings.
5. The propeller hub as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the securing flange is attached to a first side of the polygonal ring, and the radial plates are placed on a second side of the polygonal ring axially opposite the first side.
6. The propeller hub as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a structure to attach the radial plates in a direction parallel to the central axis of the polygonal ring.
7. The propeller hub as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the radial plates include a relief that allows positive engagement in a radial plane with a support of the radial plates.
8. A propeller comprising:
a propeller hub as claimed in claim 1 ; and
blades received in cylindrical recesses.
9. A turboengine comprising at least one propeller as claimed in claim 8 .
10. The turboengine as claimed in claim 9 , comprising two counter-rotating propellers.
11. The propeller hub as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the openings are through-holes in the polygonal ring or the turbine rotor element.
12. A propeller hub with variable-pitch blades for a turboengine, comprising:
a polygonal ring including substantially radial cylindrical recesses distributed about a central axis of the polygonal ring to receive the blades;
a turbine rotor element of the turboengine;
