Abstract

A layout of a blisk includes two inserts housed between the bulb of the blade and the wall of a groove in a disk to compensate for variations in inclination between the overhanging faces of the groove and the upper faces of the bulb at their central part. This construction makes it possible to select blades for which upper faces of the bulb are slightly inclined relative to the radial direction, which facilitates their construction from a composite material.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A layout of a blisk, comprising:
a disk; and
at least one blade with a bulb which is housed in a groove in the disk, the groove comprising two overhanging faces overhanging a bottom face of the groove, the overhanging faces presenting a first inclination relative to a median plane of the groove, wherein
the bulb comprises two upper faces located under the overhanging faces and including a second inclination relative to said median plane that is less than the first inclination,
a bottom face of the bulb is above the bottom face of the groove, and
first and second inserts are inserted between the bulb and the disk, each of the first and second inserts includes
central parts arranged between the overhanging faces and the upper faces,
external parts connected to the central parts at a first end of the central parts, the external parts extending through an opening in the groove and on a peripheral face of the disk, a distance between the external parts of the first and second inserts increasing towards free ends of the external parts of the first and second inserts opposite the central parts, and
internal parts connected to the central parts at a second end of the central parts, free ends of the internal parts being disposed between the bottom face of the bulb and the bottom face of the groove at an innermost portion of the groove, a distance between the internal parts of the first and second inserts reducing towards the free ends of the internal parts of the first and second inserts opposite the central parts, and wherein, in a rest state, the internal parts of the first and second inserts are sandwiched between the bottom face of the groove and the bottom of the bulb, and the external parts of the first and second inserts abut the peripheral face of the disk.

2. The layout according to claim 1 , wherein the blades are made of a composite material and the disk is made of metal.

3. The layout according to claim 1 , wherein the inserts are separated from each other at the internal parts.

4. The layout according to claim 1 , wherein, in an operating state in which the bulb bears on the central parts and the central parts bear on the overhanging faces, clearances exist between the external parts and the disk and between the internal parts and the bulb.

5. The layout according to claim 1 , wherein a gap is provided between the free ends of the internal parts of the first and second inserts, and the bottom face of the groove faces the bottom of the bulb through the gap.

6. The layout according to claim 1 , wherein the free ends of the internal parts of the first and second inserts extend towards the median plane of the groove and towards each other.

7. The layout according to claim 4 , wherein, in the operating state, another clearance exists between the bottom face of the groove and the internal parts of the inserts.
