Abstract

A rotor vane for an aircraft turbine engine, the vane having an axis of rotation once it has been rigidly connected to a rotor and a stacking axis. The vane includes a blade extending between an internal platform and an external platform bearing at least one projecting lip. The external platform is configured to cooperate in a form-fitting manner with the complementary side edges of adjacent vanes. The rotor vane has wear-resistant covering of a lower side edge which extends over one wall of a substantially rectilinear first ridge of the platform and over one wall of a second ridge of the platform. The second ridge extends at least partially inside the lip and is inclined relative to the first ridge in a direction substantially parallel to a transverse axis of the lip.

Claims (13)

1. A rotor vane for an aircraft turbomachine, the rotor vane having

an axis of rotation and a stacking axis and comprising

a blade extending between an internal platform and an external platform bearing at least one projecting lip,

the blade comprising a pressure side and a suction side and the external platform comprising a pressure side lateral edge and a suction side lateral edge located on the pressure side and the suction side respectively, and each of the pressure side lateral edge and the suction side lateral edge configured to cooperate in a form-fitting manner with complementary lateral edges of adjacent vanes,

each of the pressure side lateral edge and the suction side lateral edge comprising a wear-resistant covering,

wherein the wear-resistant covering of the pressure side lateral edge extends over one first wall of a rectilinear first ridge, and over one second wall of a second ridge extending at least partially in the at least one projecting lip, the wall of the second ridge being inclined relative to the rectilinear first ridge in a direction parallel to a transverse axis of elongation of the at least one projecting lip, and the wall of the second ridge extending between 20 to a maximum of 50% of a height of the at least one projecting lip in which the second ridge extends, measured along the stacking axis.

2. The rotor vane according to claim 1 , wherein the rectilinear first ridge has a thickness E 1 of 2 mm.

3. The rotor vane according to claim 2 , wherein the second ridge has a thickness E 2 less than the thickness E 1 .

4. The rotor vane according to claim 2 , wherein the wear-resistant covering of the lateral edge located on a side of the suction side extends over a third wall of a third ridge, the third ridge having a thickness E 3 of 2 mm.

5. The rotor vane according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one projecting lip comprises two opposite longitudinal ends, one of which comprises at least partially the second wall of the second ridge, and one other of which comprises an excess thickness in a direction perpendicular to the transverse axis of elongation.

6. The rotor vane according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one projecting lip is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

7. The rotor vane according to claim 1 , wherein the second ridge has a first end connected to one end of the rectilinear first ridge and a second free end located at the pressure side lateral edge.

8. A rotor wheel for an aircraft turbomachine, comprising a disc carrying at a periphery an annular row of rotor vanes according to claim 1 .
