Abstract

A turbine engine fan rotor having a disk carrying blades, a substantially frustoconical cover mounted on the disk, and axial retention device for retaining the blades and including a ring mounted in an annular groove in the disk and forming a bearing surface for roots of the blades. The ring is festooned or crenellated and co-operates with a festooned radial annular lip of the disk. The rotor also has at least one axial tooth inserted in hollow portions of the ring and of the lip of the disk. Two coaxial parts arranged radially inside the disk have respective first and second fastener flanges for fastening to the disk, said flanges being axially interposed between the cover and the disk, being circumferentially offset relative to one another, and being fastened independently of one another to the disk.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fan rotor for a turbine engine, the rotor comprising a disk carrying blades having roots engaged in substantially axial slots in the outer periphery of the disk, a substantially frustoconical cover mounted on the disk upstream from the blades, and axial retention mechanism for retaining the blades on the disk, said axial retention mechanism comprising a ring mounted in an annular groove in the disk and forming a bearing surface for the roots of the blades, the ring being festooned or crenellated and co-operating with a festooned radial annular lip of the annular groove in the disk, and a device for preventing the ring from moving in rotation, which device comprise at least one axial tooth engaged in hollow portions of the ring and of the lip of the disk, the rotor further comprising at least first and second coaxial parts arranged radially inside the disk and having respective first and second fastener flanges for fastening to the disk, said flanges being axially interposed between the cover and the disk, being circumferentially offset relative to one another, and said first and second flanges having holes for receiving independent fasteners.

2. The fan rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the axial teeth are formed in the cover.

3. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first part has a plurality of first flanges that are circumferentially offset from one another and situated in a common radial plane, and the second part has a plurality of second flanges that are circumferentially offset from one another and situated in the same radial plane as the first flanges, each second flange being circumferentially interposed between two first flanges.

4. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first part is situated radially inside the second part, the second part including at least one notch having the flange of the first part passing radially therethrough.

5. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the cover includes holes for fastening the cover to the disk via bolts mounted in said holes in the cover and also passing through the flanges of only one of the first and second parts, the flanges of the other one of said parts being fastened to the disk via other bolts.

6. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second flanges are formed by lugs extending radially outwards from the first and second parts.

7. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second parts belong to a telemetry system.

8. A turbine engine, comprising the rotor according to claim 1 .
