Movable blade for a turbomachine
A movable blade for a turbomachine, the blade including at its distal end a top portion including opposite first and second side edges and upstream and downstream sealing wipers. Each of the first and second side edges has a substantially Z-shaped profile between the upstream and downstream wipers. On a side of the first side edge, the platform includes a first outwardly projecting rim not connected to either of the upstream and downstream wipers. The platform includes a second outwardly projecting rim, the second rim including a downstream portion connected to the downstream wiper and extending along the second edge, and an upstream portion extending the downstream portion as far as the upstream wiper, and set back relative to the second side edge.
1. A movable blade for a turbomachine, the blade comprising at its distal end a top portion comprising:
a platform defining an outside surface of a passage for gas passing through the turbomachine, and opposite first and second side edges; and
upstream and downstream sealing wipers extending radially outwards from the platform;
wherein each of the first and second side edges includes a substantially Z-shaped profile between the upstream and downstream wipers, which profile includes a first segment closer to the upstream wiper, an intermediate second segment, and a third segment closer to the downstream wiper, the first and third segments being substantially parallel to each other, and the second segment extending obliquely between the first and third segments;
wherein the top portion includes, on a side of the first side edge, a first outwardly projecting rim that extends along the second segment of the first side edge, the first rim not being connected to either of the upstream and downstream wipers; and
the top portion includes, on a side of the second side edge, a second outwardly projecting rim, the second rim having a downstream portion connected to the downstream wiper and extending along the second and third segments of the second side edge, and an upstream portion extending the downstream portion as far as the upstream wiper, being set back relative to the first segment of the second side edge.
2. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second rims includes a layer of anti-wear material on its side face.
3. A blade according to claim 2 , wherein a height of the upstream portion of the second rim is less than a height of the downstream portion.
4. A blade according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the upstream portion of the second rim is less than a height of the downstream portion.
5. A turbomachine comprising a blade according to claim 1 .
