Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a turbomachine blade, and more particularly to a leading edge reinforcement of this blade.
  • blade is meant here both the moving blades and the stationary blades of the turbomachines.
  • these include a leading edge reinforcement whose role is to protect the leading edge from deterioration during an impact with a FOD and to distribute the force of the impact over a large surface of the blade.
  • a reinforcement of the blade leading edge conventionally comprises an upper surface fin covering at least partially the aerodynamic surface of the upper surface of the blade and a lower surface fin covering at least partially the aerodynamic surface of the lower surface of the blade. blade, these two fins being joined by a leading edge of the reinforcement.
  • Document EP2540974 A discloses a reinforcement of the leading edge of a fan blade.
  • the detachment of the upper surface fin causes damage to the internal abradable layer.
  • the extrados fin protrudes from the extrados surface of the blade and penetrates into the internal abradable layer, which creates a groove in the internal abradable layer. It is then necessary to immobilize the turbine engine to replace both the blade, the leading edge reinforcement of which has come off, and the internal abradable layer. Such an immobilization generates a significant cost resulting from the lack of exploitation of the turbomachine which it is important to reduce, or even eliminate.
  • the object of the invention is in particular to provide a simple, effective and economical solution to this problem.
  • the invention proposes a blade according to claim 1.
  • the spacing of the downstream point from the upper edge of the extrados fin makes it possible to limit the penetration of the fin into the internal abradable layer of the turbomachine, in the event of separation of the downstream point of the fin since this it then finds itself far from the abradable due to its remoteness when mounting the blade tip.
  • the upstream point is located at the level of the upstream end of the upper edge, that is to say at the level of the leading edge of the blade and the downstream point is located at the downstream end of the radially outer edge of the fin.
  • downstream point is spaced radially inward from the tip of the blade.
  • the separation into two portions offers a good compromise between limiting penetration of the fin into the internal layer of abradable in the event of separation of the fin, and good distribution of the forces in the event of impact of a FOD on the backstop leading edge. downstream of the blade since the latter then finds itself far from the abradable due to its distance from the assembly of the blade tip.
  • the second portion of the radially outer edge of the extrados fin is curved convex. This particular shape makes it possible to facilitate the manufacture of the reinforcement and also to limit the creation of disturbances in the flow of the air flow.
  • the distance indicated in claim 1 offers a good compromise between limitation of penetration of the fin into the internal layer of abradable in the event of separation of the fin, and good distribution of the forces in the event of impact of a FOD on the leading edge sleeps.
  • the reinforcement comprises a lower surface fin partly covering an aerodynamic surface of the lower surface of the blade.
  • This lower surface fin also protects the aerodynamic surface of the lower surface of the blade against FOD.
  • the leading edge reinforcement is made of a metallic material.
  • the invention proposes, secondly, an assembly comprising a central disc on which are mounted a plurality of vanes as previously described, said vanes being regularly distributed around the periphery of the central disc, and extending substantially radially to the disc central.
  • the invention proposes, thirdly, a turbomachine comprising an assembly as previously described.
  • a turbine engine 2 having an assembly 4 comprising a central disc 6 rotating around a longitudinal axis A of the turbine engine 2, and on which is mounted a plurality of blades 8.
  • the blades 8 are regularly distributed around the periphery 6a of the central disc 6, and extending substantially radially to the central disc 6.
  • assembly 4 is the fan of turbomachine 2, and blades 8 are fan blades.
  • the turbomachine 2 also comprises, from upstream to downstream, and downstream of the fan, a low-pressure compressor 10, a high-pressure compressor 12, a combustion chamber 14, a high-pressure turbine 16, a low-pressure turbine 18 , and an exhaust casing.
  • the turbine engine 2 comprises attachment means 22, in this case two, each carried by an intermediate fan casing 24 carrying an internal abradable layer 24a (visible on the figure 4 ), and a casing 26 of the turbine.
  • radial means any direction substantially perpendicular to the axis A of the turbomachine 2, upstream the side by which the air reaches a part of the turbomachine 2, and downstream the side by which the air moves away from said part of the turbomachine 2.
  • the direction of air flow is represented by figure 2 by arrow F.
  • blade 8 is meant here both the mobile blades 8 (for example the rotor blades) and the stationary blades (for example the stator blades) of the turbomachines 2.
  • Dawn 8 illustrated in perspective on the figure 2 and in section on picture 3 , comprises an aerodynamic upper surface 28 and an aerodynamic lower surface 30 which extend in a first direction between a leading edge 8a and a trailing edge 8b of the blade 8.
  • the blade 8 of a fan being twisted, the first direction evolves in an XY plane along the section taken in a radial direction along the Z axis which forms with the X and Y axes an orthonormal reference mark on the figure 2 .
  • the aerodynamic upper surface 28 and the aerodynamic lower surface 30 extend between a root 8c and a tip 8d of the blade 8.
  • the blade 8 also comprises a leading edge reinforcement 32 comprising an extrados fin 32a partly covering the aerodynamic extrados surface 28 of the substantially radial blade 8, and an intrados fin 32b partly covering the aerodynamic surface 30 of the lower surface of the blade 8.

  • the reinforcement 32 of the leading edge 8a of the blade 8 extends substantially from the root 8c of the blade 8, up to its top 8d.
  • the leading edge reinforcement 32 is preferably made of a highly resistant metallic material, such as for example a titanium alloy.
  • the detail view of the figure 4 highlights a feature of the extrados fin 32a of the leading edge reinforcement 32.
  • the fin 32a of extrados has a radially outer (also called upper) edge 34 arranged in the vicinity of the blade tip 8d and which extends from the leading edge 8a towards the edge 8b ( figure 2 ) leak.
  • This radially outer edge 34 comprises an upstream point 34a which is flush with the top 8d of the blade 8 at the level of the leading edge 8a and a downstream point 34b which is spaced from the top 8d of the blade 8.

  • this extreme point 34e makes it possible to define the progressive spacing of the downstream point 34b with respect to the top 8d of the blade 8.
  • the spacing of the second portion 38 from the radially outer edge 34 of the extrados fin 32a is preferably curved convex.
  • the second portion 38 has substantially a curved shape which deviates continuously from the top 8d of the blade 8 in the direction of the foot 8c ( figure 2 ) of the latter, and this from upstream to downstream.
