MOBILE VANE FOR A TURBINE ENGINE, COMPRISING A LUG ENGAGING IN A LOCKING NOTCH OF A ROTOR DISK
A mobile vane for a turbine engine, including a root designed to be inserted into a receiving element of a rotor disk for a turbine engine, a platform carried by the root, and a blade extending from the platform. The platform includes an upstream edge. The upstream edge includes a lug for engaging in a locking notch of the disk in such a way as to hold the vane axially in relation to the disk, according to the longitudinal direction of the receiving element.
Turbine rotor and blade assembly with multi-piece locking blade
The present application provides a turbine rotor and blade assembly for a steam turbine. The turbine rotor and blade assembly may include a rotor, a number of buckets positioned about the rotor and a locking blade positioned about the rotor. The locking blade may include a base, a first side hook, and a second side hook. The locking blade may include a first side pilot hole defined between the base and the first side hook and a second side pilot hole defined between the base and the second side hook.

INTERMEDIATE ELEMENT FOR A BLADE/ROTOR DISC CONNECTION IN A ROTOR OF A TURBOMACHINE, ASSOCIATED ROTOR FOR A TURBOMACHINE, AND TURBOMACHINE
An intermediate element is for a blade/rotor disk connection in a rotor of a fluid flow machine. The intermediate element is adapted to a shape of a blade root of a blade and to a blade root slot in a rotor disk for receiving the blade root such that, when arranged between the blade root and rotor disk, the intermediate element prevents contact between the blade root and rotor disk. The intermediate element has, on an outer surface that faces the rotor disk, at least one protrusion to reduce an air flow parallel to an axis of rotation of the rotor between the rotor disk and the intermediate element; and on an inner surface that faces the blade root, a recess that corresponds to the at least one protrusion.
Load Absorption Systems and Methods
A load absorbing system that may include a rotor blade retention system is provided. The load absorbing system may include a block, a first retainer plate, and a deformable core. The block may be selectively positioned alongside a dovetail groove. The block may have a first face directed away from the blade root and an axially-spaced second face directed toward the blade root. The first retainer plate may be attached to the second face of the block and axially positioned between the block and the axially-directed surface of the blade root. The deformable core may be positioned between the block and the first retainer plate.
BLADED ROTOR ARRANGEMENT
A gas turbine engine bladed rotor arrangement comprises a rotor, a plurality of rotor blades and a plurality of lock plates. The rotor blades are mounted in circumferentially spaced axially extending slots in the periphery of the rotor. A plurality of lock plates are arranged at a first axial end of the rotor. The radially outer ends of the lock plates engage corresponding grooves defined by radially inwardly extending flanges on the platforms of the rotor blades. The radially inner ends of the lock plates also engage a circumferentially extending groove. The radially outer end of at least one lock plate at the first axial end of the rotor has at least one projection extending axially away from the rotor. Each projection locates against a corresponding anti-rotation feature.
Fan for a turbomachine
The invention proposes a fan, in particular for a turbomachine of small size such as a jet engine, having a hub ratio which corresponds to the ratio of the diameter of the inner limit of the incoming air stream at the radially inner ends of the leading edges of the fan blades, divided by the diameter of the circle around which the outer ends of the fan blades pass, having a value of between 0.20 and 0.265.
