Turbine engine vane with asymmetrical profile
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a turbine engine vane comprising a main body made of composite material, a leading edge, a trailing edge, and at least one metal structural reinforcement, the structural reinforcement comprising a junction surface portion connected to the main body, the structural reinforcement extending between the junction surface portion and one of the leading or trailing edges, the vane being characterized in that the profile of the junction surface portion of the structural reinforcement has a camber less than 30%.
1. A turbine engine vane comprising:
a main body made of composite material,
a leading edge,
a trailing edge, and
at least one metal structural reinforcement, the structural reinforcement comprising a junction surface portion connected to the main body, the structural reinforcement extending between the junction surface portion and one of the leading or trailing edges, wherein each profile of the junction surface portion of the structural reinforcement has a camber less than 30% and at least one cracking.
2. The vane according to claim 1 , wherein a junction surface portion of the main body to which the junction surface portion of the structural reinforcement is connected, is complementary to the junction surface portion of the structural reinforcement and has a profile identical to the profile of the latter.
3. The vane according to claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises an intrados and an extrados, and wherein the structural reinforcement comprises an intrados continuously following the intrados of the main body and an extrados continuously following the extrados of the main body, the intrados and the extrados of the structural reinforcement having respective profiles of different lengths.
4. The vane according to claim 1 , comprising a camber line cutting the profile of the structural reinforcement into two different area regions.
5. The vane according to claim 1 , wherein each profile of the junction portion of the structural reinforcement comprises less than two points of inflection.
6. The vane according to claim 1 , wherein the cracking is an apex introducing a change of direction of angle of between 45° and 90°.
7. A turbine engine comprising at least one vane according to claim 1 .
