Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of dismounting a reinforcement of a part, such as a turbine engine blade, and a tool for implementing such a method.
- these blades are generally made of composite material. Since these blades must withstand erosion wear and large shocks, because of the flow and friction of air and water molecules as well as impacts of particles or foreign bodies that may enter the motor, they are protected at their leading edges by metal reinforcements fixed on the blades of the blades.
- a rectifying blade of the secondary flow of a turbomachine comprises two coaxial annular shrouds, respectively internal and external, between which extend substantially radial vanes.
- Each of these blades has a camber which is not constant over its entire height or radial dimension with respect to the longitudinal axis of the blade, so that the profile of its leading edge can vary along its height.
- the leading edge of each blade of a stator vane of some engines may for example have seven different profiles in a particular embodiment.
- the leading edge of a blade of this type can be reinforced by means of a metal reinforcement which is attached and glued to the upstream longitudinal edge of the blade of the blade.
- this technology has disadvantages. Indeed, the bonding step is relatively long and is added to the various stages of manufacture of a blade. In addition, it is difficult to control the quality and reliability of the bonding so that the risk of detachment of a reinforcement exists, which can be dangerous in operation.
- the reinforcement of a blade can be removed and replaced with a new one during a maintenance operation.
- the bonded reinforcement is of the indémontable type, it is necessary to destroy it to remove it, during a long and delicate operation that can cause damage to the blade. Due to the level of uncontrollable damage to the blade during this operation and glue polymerization conditions that affect the material health of the blade during bonding, it limits the number of repairs of the reinforcement of a blade during of its life.
- the invention aims to provide a simple, effective and economical solution to these problems of the prior art.

- a blade according to the invention may undergo several interventions to replace its reinforcement during its lifetime, without risk of damaging it, which is more economical than the prior art.

- the opening of the profile is intended to expand, which creates elastic deformations of the reinforcement particularly at its middle part.
- the reinforcement may be of the type comprising two side walls interconnected by a median wall defining the aforementioned edge of the blade.

- the or each longitudinal groove located on the side of the intrados of the blade is offset upstream or downstream with respect to a longitudinal groove located on the side of the extrados of the blade.
- the grooves located on one side of the blade are not located opposite those on the other side of the blade (with respect to a median plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the blade), This limits the mechanical weakening of the blade and reduces the risk of crack initiation between the grooves.
- the aforementioned edge of the blade may comprise a fibrous structure in which the orifices or grooves are formed or which delimit with the remainder of the blade these orifices or grooves.
- the aforementioned fibrous structure can be reported and fixed on the longitudinal edge upstream or downstream of the blade by any suitable technique.
- the aforementioned fibrous structure may be formed by the fibrous structure of the blade. This type of fibrous structure is intended to be impregnated with a suitable resin intended to fill the inter-fiber voids and to bind the fibers together.
- At least one of the side walls of the reinforcement comprises an orifice or a space, such as a notch, opening outwards, for the engagement of a disassembly tool of the reinforcement.
- the mounting gaps between the reinforcement and the blade are filled at least in part by a seal or a coating, in the form of a coating film or paint, for example, which covers at least a portion of the surface of the blade intended to be covered by the reinforcement.

- the tips 272 are made of fusible material and are used as electrodes during welding, which is for example of the MIG-TIG-MAG or SAEE type.
- an electric arc is generated between the end of each tip 272 and the side wall 234, the energy of this arc being intended to melt the end of the tip whose fusion metal 274 is intended, after cooling and solidification, to ensure fixing the tip on the side wall.
- each tip 272 is connected by a conductor 276 to a terminal (+) of an electrical source, and the profile 230 is connected by a conductor 278 to the opposite terminal (-) of this power source.
- the disassembly of the profile 230 can be carried out as follows.
- the 230 is connected by the conductor 278 to the terminal (-) of the electrical source.
- the tips 272 are fixed to the branches 270 of the tool 252, which are themselves connected to the terminal (+) of the electrical source.
- the branches of the tool and the tips are spaced apart from each other by manipulation of the tool.
- the blade 216 is engaged between the branches of the tool which are brought closer to each other until the ends of the tips are flush with the outer surfaces of the side walls 234 of the profile.
- An electric arc is generated between each tip 272 and the profile 230 so as to weld the tips on the profile, as indicated above. It is possible to activate the current for the welding either by a button positioned on the clamp and accessible by the operator, or by means of a remote control unit.
- the branches of the tool are spaced from one another, which causes the elastic deformation of the profile by spacing these side walls from one another, until its flanges 232 are disengaged grooves of the blade.
- the tool 252 is then moved in translation on the opposite side to the blade to remove the profile of the blade.
- This method and this disassembly device can be used to disassemble the profiles shown in FIGS. 2 to 9.
- the profile has a variable thickness. Its side wall located on the side of the underside of the blade may for example have a greater thickness than that of the side wall on the side of the upper surface of the blade, so as to take into account the pressure differences exerted on these walls. Operating. The thicker the sidewall of the profile, the more rigid it is, and the more resistant it is to deformations (such as detachments).
- the invention can be applied to blades other than those of a secondary flow straightening vane, and for example blades of a turbomachine fan. Similarly, the invention is not limited to the field of turbomachine blades.
