Definitions
- the present invention relates to a turbomachine rotor comprising damping devices for blades.
- a device in which the damping element in stone is embedded between the upstream face of the rim of the support disc and a flange.
- the angle of this square member has a critical bending zone.
- the turbomachine rotor comprises damping devices for blades, each damping device being constituted by a damping member disposed in a cavity delimited, circumferentially, by the stilts of the feet of two consecutive blades , radially, inside by a tooth of the blade support disc, on the outside by the lower faces of the half platforms of said two consecutive blades and, axially, upstream by the upstream parts of the half platforms, at l 'downstream, on the one hand by a bequet secured to the disc tooth and, on the other hand, by webs secured to each of the two consecutive blades.
- This device is characterized in that, the damping member is mounted so as to be able to pivot, at its upstream end around a geometric axis perpendicular to a radial axis of the support disc and in the median plane thereof, so as to be able to occupy two positions, the first, in operation, under the centrifugal action, in which the upper part of said member, conforming to constitute a projecting dihedral comes to marry a re-entrant dihedron constituted by the half platforms of the two consecutive blades, one axial immobilization downstream of said member being obtained by a stop means, the second, retracted, in which the radial height of said member is less than that of the bevel of the disc delimiting, downstream, the cavity so as to allow the passage, above said member, of the web of each of said blades, which allows their disassembly by withdrawal upstream.
- This arrangement allows the damping member to pass under the veil of the blade during assembly or disassembly blade by blade. In addition, it is better positioned between the stilts of the blades so that jamming cannot occur. In order to optimize its resistant work under the platforms of the blades, the bearing surface of the damping members is larger because it extends under the common platforms of two blades.
- the damping member is pivotally mounted around its end which has a cylindrical boss engaged in a cylindrical bottom housing formed between two spoilers shaped in the middle part of a disc tooth of support.
- This arrangement has the advantage of the simplicity of its mechanism and of using gravity to maintain the damping member of the blades located in the upper part in the retracted position, and to allow the unitary disassembly of said blades.
- the damping member is subjected to the action of an elastic member keeping said damping member in contact with the underside of the platforms of the blades.
- the damper is free in the cavity formed by a tooth of the disc, the stilts and the platforms of two consecutive blades.
- an elastic member is associated with it which presses said member on the underside of the wings of two consecutive platforms and which participates in the sequence mounting.
- FIGs 1 and 2 there is shown a support disc 1 having housings 2 in which the feet 3 of the blades 4 are mounted.
- a damping member 8 for the vibrations of the blades 4.
- the damping member 8 consists of a plate having an upper part 8a shaped to constitute a projecting dihedral conforming, under the action of centrifugal force, to the re-entrant dihedron formed by the platforms 6, 6a of the two consecutive blades 4.
- the damping member 8 is pivotally mounted by its upstream in the middle part of the space between the blades 4 and the support disc 1, along an axis perpendicular to a radial axis of the support disc.
- the damping member B has at its upstream end a cylindrical boss 9 engaged in a housing 10 whose bottom 10a is cylindrical and which is formed between two spoilers 11 and 12 formed in the middle part of the tooth 7 of the disc. support 1.
- the front spoiler 12 prevents the boss 9 from sliding forward when the engine is stopped.
- the rear spoiler 11 supports the force ax: al, represented by an arrow in FIG. 1, due to the centrifugal force of the damping member and for this purpose it is therefore reinforced.
- a hole 13 drilled in the cylindrical boss 9 makes it possible to position the center of gravity at the largest possible diameter, therefore as far as possible from the disc tooth.
- the damping member 8 When the engine is running, the damping member 8 is plate under the action of centrifugal force against the platforms 6, 6a of the blades, so that the upper part 8a of said protruding dihedral-shaped member comes to marry the dihedron reentrant constitutes by platforms 6, 6a of two consecutive blades.
- FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 Another embodiment of the damping device shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5 consists of a damping member 15 made of sheet metal cut in the shape of a cross and then folded longitudinally to form a projecting dihedral formed from the faces 15a, 15b and the four edges 15c, 15d, 15e, 15f are then folded in the shape of a gutter.
- the upstream edge 15e receives in its concave part a helical torsion spring 16 which consists of two parts 16a, 16b whose free ends 17a. 17b are fixed in particular by welding to the internal face of the damping member 15, said parts 16a, 16b of the helical spring being connected by a loop 18 bearing against the support disc 1.
- the rear edge 15f in the form of a gutter adapts to the curvature 19 of the rear veil of the blade 4.
- the damping member 15 In operation at high speed, the damping member 15 is pressed by centrifugal force under the platforms 6, 6a of the blades, the spring 16 no longer being pressed against the tooth 7 of the disc 1, the damping takes place by friction. At low speeds, the spring 16 keeps the damping member 15 in contact with the platforms 6, 6a and prevents the blade from rattling at low speed of rotation.
- the ribs formed by the folded edges 15c, 15d, 15e, 15f provide rigidity which prevents buckling of the part.
- the spring 16 ensures the positioning of the damping member under the platforms 6, 6a of the blades.
- a blade 4 To mount a blade 4, it is inserted from the front into its cell 2. Then a damping member 15 is wedged in the rear part of a lateral cavity of the blade.
- the adjacent blade is introduced and as the rear web 14 of this second blade progresses towards the rear of the disc, it crushes the spring 16 of the damping member 15 then the spring relaxes when the web 14 of the 'dawn arrives at the base of the rear spoiler of the disc 1, and, almost completely relaxed, it plates the damper on the wings of the two adjacent platforms 6, 6a.
- the damping member Due to its dihedral shape, the damping member is automatically positioned in the dihedral formed by the two platforms.
- the damping member To dismantle a vane 4, the damping member must be placed in the retracted position, for this it is necessary to crush the spring 16 of the damping member, either by pulling the damper from the front using pliers special, either by pressing on the damping member 15 using a blade inserted radially by the clearance 20 existing between two platforms 6, 6a (see FIG. 2).
- This arrangement can also be used to dampen the vibrations of stator vanes but, in this case, the stiffness of the spring must be greater.
