Turbine engine fan disk
View Patent ↗A turbine engine fan disk including a cylindrical rim including in its outer periphery substantially axial slots for mounting blade roots and opening out to a radially upstream face of the rim is provided. A shroud extends from the rim and connects with a rotary drive shaft. A cylindrical lip extends upstream from the upstream face of the rim. The inside surface of the disk having a cylindrical portion extended upstream by a portion of greater diameter that forms a setback that is axially offset upstream relative to the upstream radial face of the rim.
1. A turbine engine fan disk having an axis and comprising:
a rim including slots, at a radially outer periphery, for mounting blade roots in the slots, the slots opening out to an upstream radial face of the rim;
a shroud extending from the rim and connecting with a rotary drive shaft; and
a lip extending upstream from the upstream radial face of the rim, the lip having a radially inside surface provided with a concave setback which is offset both:
axially upstream relative to the upstream radial face of the rim, and
radially relative to a radially inside surface of the disk.
2. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 1 , wherein the setback is offset axially from the upstream radial face of the rim by an axial distance lying in the range 1 mm to 3 mm.
3. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 1 , wherein the radially inside surface of the disk includes a frustoconical portion flaring downstream and extending to a downstream end of the rim.
4. A turbine engine fan disk according to claim 3 , wherein the angle of the frustoconical portion lies in the range 1° to 10°.
5. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 4 , wherein the angle of the frustoconical portion is about 3°.
6. A turbine engine fan disk having an axis and comprising:
a rim including slots, at a radially outer periphery, for mounting blade roots in the slots, the slots opening out to an upstream radial face of the rim;
a shroud extending from the rim and connecting with a rotary drive shaft;
a lip extending upstream from an upstream radial face of the rim, the lip having a radially inside surface provided with a concave setback which is offset both:
axially upstream relative to the upstream radial face of the rim, and
radially relative to a radially inside surface of the disk,
wherein the lip has a radially outside surface that includes an annular groove in which a ring is partially engaged, for retaining blades.
7. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 1 , wherein the disk has a radially inner surface having a cylindrical portion at an upstream end, the cylindrical portion extending parallel to the axis and having a length lying in the range 10 mm to 20 mm.
8. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 1 , wherein it does not include balance weights or balance hub.
9. A turbine engine, including a turbine engine fan disk according to claim 1 .
10. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 1 , wherein the lip has a radially outside surface that includes an annular groove in which a ring is partially engaged, for retaining blades.
11. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 10 , wherein the annular groove is defined by an upstream radial face of the disk and by a flange of the lip extending radially outwards.
12. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 1 , wherein the radially inside surface of the disk has a frustoconical portion that flares downstream.
13. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 6 , wherein the ring includes an upstream inner radial surface which abuts an outer radial surface of the flange of the lip, and a downstream outer radial surface which abuts an inner radial surface of a spacer interposed between one of the blade roots and one of the slots.
14. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 6 , wherein the groove is defined by an upstream radial face of the disk and by a flange of the lip extending radially outwards.
15. The turbine engine fan disk according to claim 6 , wherein the radially inside surface of the disk has a frustoconical portion that flares downstream.
