Abstract

A fan blisk for a turbomachine, the blisk comprising a hub delimited by an upstream face and a downstream face in addition to an outer peripheral face and a revolving inner peripheral face delimiting an inner opening, the hub carrying blades each having a leading edge and a trailing edge, the hub and the blades forming a one-piece assembly. The upstream face and/or the downstream face is offset, being located along the axis of rotation (AX) between the leading edges and the trailing edges of the blades, the blisk (bladed disk) comprising a filling member mounted on the offset face, the filling member comprising an inner centring ferrule engaging in the inner face of the hub, a radial portion resting against the offset face and an outer ferrule extending the outer peripheral face of the hub.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fan blisk ( 11 ) for a turbomachine, the blisk ( 11 ) comprising a hub ( 12 ) delimited by an upstream face ( 16 ) and a downstream face ( 17 ) relative to a flow passing through the blisk in service and an external peripheral face ( 14 ) and an internal peripheral face ( 15 ) of revolution delimiting an internal opening in the hub ( 12 ), the hub ( 12 ) carrying blades ( 13 ) on the external peripheral face ( 14 ), each blade ( 13 ) having a leading edge ( 18 ) and a trailing edge ( 19 ), the hub ( 12 ) and the blades ( 13 ) forming a one-piece assembly, wherein the hub ( 12 ) includes an offset face located along an axis of rotation (AX) between the leading edges ( 18 ) and the trailing edges ( 19 ) of the blades ( 13 ), the offset face being the upstream face ( 16 ) or downstream face ( 17 ), the blisk ( 11 ) comprising a filling member ( 21 ) mounted on the offset face, said filling member ( 21 ) comprising an inner centring ferrule ( 22 ) engaging in the internal peripheral face ( 15 ) of the hub, a radial portion ( 23 ) resting against the offset face and an outer ferrule ( 24 ) extending in continuity with the outer peripheral face ( 14 ) of the hub to prolong the outer peripheral face,
wherein the radial portion ( 23 ) of the filling member ( 21 ) comprises a series of radial segments ( 34 ) at a spacing from each other, wherein the offset face comprises a plurality of spurs ( 28 ) on an inner periphery of the offset face that project in an axial direction of the axis of rotation (AX) to prolong the internal peripheral face ( 15 ), each radial segment ( 34 ) of the radial portion ( 23 ) engaging between two respective spurs ( 28 ) of the plurality of spurs ( 28 ), each spur ( 28 ) of the plurality of spurs ( 28 ) being provided with an inner groove ( 29 ) to conjointly delimit a discontinuous circumferential inner groove, and a locking ring ( 31 ) engaging in the inner circumferential groove to block the filling member ( 21 ) in position along the rotation axis (AX), the blisk being blocked between firstly the offset face against which the radial portion ( 23 ) bears and secondly the locking ring ( 31 ) against which one edge of the centring ferrule ( 22 ) bears.

2. The blisk according to claim 1 , comprising at least one locking bolt ( 36 ) fixing the filling member ( 21 ) in rotation, the locking bolt ( 36 ) being positioned between two consecutive spurs ( 28 ) of the plurality of spurs ( 28 ) and joining them together, the locking bolt ( 36 ) comprising a groove ( 37 ) extending along the continuity of the grooves ( 29 ) in the two consecutive spurs ( 28 ) between which it is mounted to receive a corresponding portion of the locking ring ( 31 ), the locking bolt ( 36 ) comprising a blocking face against which the offset face of the hub ( 12 ) bears when the locking bolt ( 36 ) is in place, the blocking face comprising a radial groove wherein a portion of one radial segment ( 34 ) of the radial segments ( 34 ) located between the two consecutive spurs ( 28 ) engages, to block rotation of the filling member ( 21 ), the one radial segment ( 34 ) comprising an offset at the locking bolt ( 36 ) into which the bolt is engaged to block the locking bolt ( 36 ) in a radial direction of the axis of rotation (AX).

3. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein each blade ( 13 ) comprises a prolongation of the leading edge ( 18 ) or trailing edge ( 19 ) of the blade ( 13 ) towards the axis of rotation (AX) by which the blade ( 13 ) is connected to the offset face of the hub ( 12 ), and wherein the outer ferrule ( 24 ) comprises a series of scallops or notches ( 27 ) wherein each prolongation ( 20 ) of the blade ( 13 ) fits when the filling member ( 21 ) is in place.

4. The blisk according to claim 3 , comprising a seal along an edge of the outer ferrule ( 24 ) to assure leak tightness between the outer ferrule ( 24 ) and the hub ( 12 ) with the blades ( 13 ) supported by the hub.

5. The blisk according to claim 1 , wherein the downstream face of the hub ( 12 ) is offset and fitted with the filling member ( 21 ).

6. A turbomachine fan comprising the blisk according to claim 1 .

7. A turbojet aircraft engine, comprising the blisk according to claim 1 .
