Abstract

An assembly including a sector of fixed blades for turbomachine distributor including at one circumferential end a protuberance and at another circumferential end a contact surface, such that the protuberance of a sector arrives opposite the contact surface of another adjacent sector, a detachable cap including a surface with anti-wear material, configured to be engaged detachably on the protuberance of the sector, such that the anti-wear material is in contact with the contact surface of the other sector.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An assembly comprising:
a sector of fixed blades for a turbomachine distributor comprising a protuberance at one circumferential end and a contact surface at another circumferential end a, such that the protuberance of a sector arrives opposite the contact surface of another adjacent sector, and
a detachable cap comprising a surface with antiwear material, configured to be engaged detachably on the protuberance of the sector such that the cap envelopes the protuberance and such that the antiwear material is in contact with the contact surface of the other sector.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the sector comprises an internal platform comprising an upper plate, on which are fixed the fixed blades and a lower plate, connected to the upper plate by a spacer.

3. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the protuberance and the contact surface are at the circumferential ends of the upper plate or of the lower plate.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-wear material is in a form of a wafer which defines the surface.

5. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the cap is made entirely of anti-wear material.

6. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-wear material comprises cobalt or an alloy of cobalt.

7. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the cap is in a form of a block comprising a blind recess forming a cavity suitable for receiving the protuberance, such that the protuberance is enveloped by the cap.

8. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the contact surface comprises anti-wear material.

9. A portion of turbomachine distributor comprising at least two assemblies according to claim 1 , defining first and second sectors, wherein the protuberance of the first sector comprises the detachable cap put in place, the detachable cap being engaged with the contact surface of the second sector.

10. A distributor comprising a plurality of portions according to claim 9 , the portions being placed end to end.

11. An assembly comprising:
a sector of fixed blades for a turbomachine distributor comprising a protuberance at one circumferential end and a contact surface at another circumferential end, such that the protuberance of a sector arrives opposite the contact surface of another adjacent sector, and
a detachable cap comprising a surface with anti-wear material, configured to be engaged detachably on the protuberance of the sector, such that the anti-wear material is in contact with the contact surface of the other sector,
wherein the cap is in a form of a block comprising a blind recess forming a cavity suitable for receiving the protuberance, such that the protuberance is enveloped by the cap.
