Device for fixing blades with variable pitch of a non-streamlined turbomachine propeller
The invention relates to a device ( 12 ) for a non-streamlined propeller ( 6, 7 ) with blades ( 10 ) having variable pitch of a turbomachine ( 1 ), the device comprising a support ( 15 ) intended to support a blade ( 10 ) and including a cylindrical foot ( 17 ), a bearing comprising a radially internal annular section ( 20 ) and a radially external annular section ( 21 ) capable of pivoting with respect to each other, the foot ( 17 ) being mounted in said internal section ( 20 ) of the bearing. The device comprises a hub ( 27 ) mounted in the foot ( 17 ), said hub ( 27 ) including a rim ( 29 ) comprising a face ( 30 ) coming to bear on the radially internal annular section ( 20 ) of the bearing, the hub ( 27 ) and the foot ( 17 ) of the support ( 15 ) comprising complementary engagement elements ( 18, 28 ) interacting with a locking component ( 23 ).
1. A device for a non-streamlined propeller with blades having variable pitch of a turbomachine, the device comprising a support intended to support a blade in a distal area and including a cylindrical foot in a proximal area, a bearing comprising a radially internal annular section and a radially external annular section, with said radially internal and external annular sections being capable of pivoting with respect to each other, with the foot being mounted in said internal section of the bearing, wherein the device comprises a hub mounted in the foot, with said hub comprising a rim comprising a resting face oriented towards a distal end of the hub and resting on the radially internal annular section of the bearing, with the hub comprising engagement elements and the foot comprising complementary engagement elements able to enable the axial insertion of the hub into the foot of the support, in a first angular position of the hub relative to said foot and able to axially hold the hub in position in said foot, in a second relative angular position, through an axial resting of the engagement elements of the hub against the complementary engagement elements of the foot, or vice versa, with the device further comprising a locking component able to lock the hub relative to the foot, in the second angular position.
2. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the foot comprises a radially external cylindrical surface, with said foot being tightened or shrunk in a cylindrical recess of the radially internal annular section of the bearing.
3. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the engagement elements have teeth.
4. A device according to claim 3 , wherein the locking component has at least one tooth mounted between two engagement teeth of the foot and the hub.
5. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the locking component is capable of sliding relative to the foot and to the hub, between a locking position in which it prevents the hub from rotating relative to the foot, and a release position in which it enables the rotation of the hub relative to the foot.
6. A device according to claim 5 , comprising means for fixing the locking component in the locking position thereof.
7. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the hub comprises a ribbed recess opening at the distal end of the hub.
8. A device according to claim 3 , wherein the foot comprises a recess, and complimentary engagement teeth which radially extend inwards from an internal surface of the recess, in an area of a proximal end of the foot, with the hub comprising engagement teeth which radially extend outwards, in an area of the distal end of the hub, and cooperating with the complimentary engagement teeth of the foot, with the locking component being engaged into the recess of the foot and comprising teeth inserted each time between the teeth of the foot and the hub, so as to prevent the hub from rotating relative to the foot.
9. A device according to claim 1 , wherein said radially internal and external annular sections of the bearing are suitable to pivot relative to each other.
10. A turbomachine, comprising at least one device according to claim 1 .
