Abstract

A foundry core for manufacturing a blade of a turbomachine including a tip section offset, including a core element for forming various internal cavities, the core element including a leading-edge cavity internal core, central cavity internal cores, and a trailing-edge cavity internal core. The internal core for the central cavity adjacent to the internal core for the trailing-edge cavity includes a bulge extending toward the core for the leading-edge cavity.

Claims (11)

1. An assembly forming a foundry core for manufacturing a blade of a turbomachine including a tip section offset cooled by circulation of fluid in internal cavities, comprising:

a first core element of elongated form for formation of different internal cavities; and

a second core element for formation of a bath cavity, the second core element being configured to be arranged in an extension of the first core element,

wherein the first core element comprises a leading edge cavity internal core, at least one central cavity internal core, and a trailing edge cavity internal core configured to respectively form, from upstream to downstream in a direction of flow of gas in the turbine, a leading edge cavity, at least one central cavity, and a trailing edge cavity of the blade, and

wherein the at least one central cavity internal core adjacent to the trailing edge cavity internal core includes a bulge that extends in a direction of the leading edge cavity internal core only in an immediate vicinity of the second core element.

2. The assembly forming a foundry core according to claim 1 , wherein an internal core, which is opposite the central cavity internal core that includes the bulge, includes a counterform that is complementary to the bulge.

3. The assembly forming a foundry core according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one linking rod that extends between the second core element and the bulge by being anchored in each other.

4. The assembly forming a core according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one linking rod anchored in the bulge extends obliquely relative to the second core element.

5. The assembly forming a core according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one linking rod is made of oxidized aluminum or quartz.

6. The assembly forming a core according to claim 1 , wherein the first core element comprises four internal cores.

7. The assembly forming a foundry core according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum width of the at least one central cavity formed by the at least one central cavity internal core is 5 mm.
