Abstract

A sealing ring configured to be pressed against a rotor disc of a turbine stage for an aircraft turbomachine, the ring including a plurality of anti-rotation pegs which prevent it from rotating in relation to the rotor disc, each peg protruding axially from a ring body and including two opposite circumferential-end surfaces, respectively configured to be located facing two directly consecutive blades carried on the rotor disc. An axially opening slot passes radially through at least one of the anti-rotation pegs.

Claims (18)

1. A sealing ring configured to be pressed against a rotor disc of a turbine stage for an aircraft turbomachine, the ring comprising:

a plurality of anti-rotation pegs which prevent the ring from rotating in relation to the rotor disc, each peg protruding axially from a ring body and including two opposite circumferential-end surfaces, respectively configured to be located facing two directly consecutive blades carried on the rotor disc; and

an axially opening slot extending toward the rotor disc and passing radially through at least one of the anti-rotation pegs.

2. The sealing ring according to claim 1 , wherein each of the two opposite circumferential-end surfaces is connected to a support surface of pegs, provided on the ring body, by a first connecting radius,

wherein each of two lateral flanks of the slot is connected at a bottom of the slot by a second connecting radius, and

wherein the second connecting radius is strictly greater than the first connecting radius.

3. The sealing ring according to claim 2 , wherein the bottom of the slot of each peg is located axially at a same level or in a vicinity of a base of each peg.

4. The sealing ring as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a ratio between a width of the slot and a total width of the at least one of the anti-rotation pegs, according to a circumferential direction, is between 0.3 and 0.4.

5. The sealing ring as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slot is centered on the at least one of the anti-rotation pegs.

6. The sealing ring as claimed in claim 1 , comprising three of the anti-rotation pegs arranged at 120° in relation to one another.

7. The sealing ring as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the anti-rotation pegs are arranged in a vicinity of an external radial end of the ring body.

8. A rotor of a turbine stage for an aircraft turbomachine, comprising:

the sealing ring as claimed in claim 1 ;

the rotor disc; and

the blades mounted on the rotor disc, wherein

the sealing ring is downstream from the rotor disc.

9. A turbomachine for an aircraft, comprising at least one turbine comprising at least one of the rotor of the turbine stage according to claim 8 .

10. A method for manufacturing the sealing ring according to claim 1 , wherein the slot of the at least one of the anti-rotation pegs is formed by machining.
