[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of turbomachine turbine protection and sealing members. Prior art

[0002] Known from the prior art is a turbine of a turbomachine as illustrated in Figure 1. The turbomachine comprises a longitudinal axis parallel to the X axis shown.

[0003] The turbine 10 is arranged downstream of an annular combustion chamber 12 and comprises several wheels 14 arranged alternately with annular rows of fixed blades 16.

[0004] The wheels 14 are driven in rotation by the flow of hot gases leaving the combustion chamber 12. A wheel 14 comprises a disc 18 having on its external periphery a plurality of longitudinal dovetail or similar cells 20 in which blade roots 22, called moving blades 24, are axially engaged and radially retained by shape cooperation.

[0005] To this end, the blade roots 22 have a bulbous shape ensuring their radial retention in the cells 20 of the disc 18, which are delimited laterally (circumferentially) by ribs 23.

[0006] As illustrated in Figure 2, a blade 24 thus comprises a root 22 connected externally to a platform 26 extending circumferentially, and a blade 28 receiving the flow of hot gases and extending radially from the platform 26.

[0007] The platforms 26 extend circumferentially end to end so as to form an annular wall internally delimiting (radially inside) the annular flow vein of the hot gases and preventing the reintroduction of hot gases at the level of the internal periphery of the disc 18.

[0008] Each blade root 22 comprises at its upstream and downstream ends a projecting portion 30 extending circumferentially and arranged immediately above a rib 23 of the disc 18, also called a tooth 23 of the disc 18 (figure 3). These projecting portions or walls 30 or stilts 30 come to bear on the ribs 23 of the disc 18, which makes it possible to limit the tilting in the circumferential direction of the blade roots 22 in operation. These walls 30 also make it possible to limit the reintroduction of hot gases between the platforms 26 and the ribs 23, thus avoiding significant heating of the disc 18.

[0009] The wheels 14 carrying the blades 24 arranged alternately with the annular rows of fixed blades 16 are arranged from upstream to downstream (axially) in consecutive stages. Figure 3 illustrates the first stage 32 and the second stage 34 of the turbine 10 of Figure 1.

[0010] As illustrated in more detail in Figure 4A, the turbine 10 includes an axial retaining ring 36 (shown in color in Figure 4A) of the first stage wheel 32, the disc 38 carrying moving blades 24 and the axial retaining ring 36 bearing on the disc 38 of the first stage wheel 32.

[0011] The cooling circuit for the bottom of the longitudinal cells requires the presence of a movable ring 42 (shown in color in Figure 4B) which ensures said cooling by sealing.

[0012] As illustrated in more detail in Figure 4B, the turbine 10 comprises such a movable ring 42 arranged axially between the first stage 32 and the second stage 34.

[0013] The movable ring 42 is held by a bolted connection 44 between the first stage disc 38 and the second stage disc 46 and allows tightening of the retaining ring 36 arranged upstream. In this way, the retaining ring 36 is pinched by the ribs 23 of the first stage disc 38 and the movable ring 42.

[0014] In operation, the blades 24 are subjected to vibrations generating contact and friction forces between the blade roots 22 and the disc 18, in particular at the level of the ribs 23 and the cells 20 of the disc 18.

[0015] It is known from the prior art to use foils (metal sheets with a particular shape) arranged at the contact interface between the blade roots and the disc in order to protect said contact interface.

[0016] It has been found that frictional contact forces also occur at the contact interface between the downstream faces of the longitudinal ribs and the retaining ring, on the one hand, and at the contact interface between the upstream faces of the longitudinal ribs and the movable ring, on the other hand.

[0017] This friction between the axially facing parts can damage the longitudinal ribs to the point of preventing the proper functioning of the disc containing said ribs, thus reducing the lifespan of the wheel of said disc.

[0018] This document proposes a solution to the problems of the prior art cited above. Summary

[0019] For this purpose, this document proposes a longitudinal axis turbomachine turbine wheel comprising: - a disc comprising at its external periphery longitudinal ribs delimiting longitudinal cells; - a plurality of blades carried by the disc, each blade comprising a root axially engaged and radially retained in a longitudinal cell of the disc; - a plurality of protection and sealing members, each protection and sealing member comprising: - a first part mounted and retained by shape cooperation in a longitudinal cell radially between the foot and said longitudinal cell, said first part being capable of protecting the sides of the longitudinal cell and the foot; - at least one second part connected to a first axial end of the first part and extending circumferentially so that a first lateral portion is applied to an end face of a first longitudinal rib and a second opposite lateral portion is applied to an end face of a second longitudinal rib circumferentially adjacent to the first longitudinal rib, said at least one second part being capable of protecting the end faces of the first longitudinal rib and of the second longitudinal rib, said first lateral portion of said protection and sealing member cooperating in a sealing manner with a second lateral portion of a first protection and sealing member circumferentially adjacent to said protection and sealing member,said second lateral portion of said protection and sealing member cooperating in a sealing manner with a first lateral portion of a second protection member circumferentially adjacent to said protection and sealing member, so as to form a ring for sealing the longitudinal cells and protecting the longitudinal ribs.,

[0020] The terms axial, radial and circumferential are defined relative to the longitudinal axis of the turbomachine.

[0021] Taken together, the second parts of the protection and sealing members arranged end to end form a sealing ring which is composed of several circumferential segments, each circumferential segment corresponding to a second part of a protection and sealing member.

[0022] Each protective and sealing organ fulfills the following functions: Protection of the sides of the longitudinal cell and the foot by means of the first part; Protection of the end faces of the first and second longitudinal ribs by means of the first and second lateral portions of said at least one second part. In this way, the protection and sealing member makes it possible to reduce possible frictional contact wear on the end faces of the longitudinal ribs with an axially facing element. In addition, the protection and sealing member prevents against possible impacts occurring on the end faces of the longitudinal ribs; A seal at the longitudinal cells by means of said at least one second part extending circumferentially. In this way, leaks at the level of said longitudinal cells are limited.

[0023] The protective and sealing member may be a foil. Foil is a sheet metal that can be folded and shaped.

[0024] According to one embodiment, said at least one second part may comprise: a second upstream part connected to the first axial end (an upstream end) of the first part; and a second downstream part connected to a second axial end (a downstream end) of the first part, said first axial end being opposite the second axial end.

[0025] In this way, the upstream and downstream end faces of the first longitudinal rib and the second longitudinal rib are protected.

[0026] In addition, a sealing ring for the longitudinal cells and protection of the upstream longitudinal ribs, as well as a sealing ring for the longitudinal cells and protection of the downstream longitudinal ribs are formed.

[0027] According to another embodiment, in the case of strictly longitudinal ribs and cells, at least one protection and sealing member, preferably each protection and sealing member, may be symmetrical with respect to a radial plane comprising the longitudinal axis and the middle of the longitudinal cell.

[0028] In other words, the first part and said at least one second part have a plane of symmetry which is the radial plane.

[0029] In this way, the protective and sealing member ensures the same protection for the first longitudinal rib and for the second longitudinal rib and facilitates the design.

[0030] Said first lateral portion of said protection and sealing member can cooperate with the second lateral portion of the first circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member and said second lateral portion of said protection and sealing member can cooperate with a first lateral portion of the second circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member, so as to form circumferential clearances.

[0031] In other words, there is no circumferential overlap between the protection and sealing members. More particularly, a lateral edge of a first lateral portion is spaced by a circumferential clearance with a lateral edge of a second lateral portion facing circumferentially.

[0032] The manufacturing process of such a protective and sealing device is simplified; it only requires simple cutting.

[0033] In one configuration, each second part may have the shape of a quadrilateral such that the circumferential clearance is constant over the radial height of each second part.

[0034] More particularly, each second part may comprise a radially inner edge and a radially outer edge connected at their circumferential ends by lateral edges. Thus, a lateral edge of a second part of a first protection and sealing member is arranged with a clearance j1 circumferentially opposite a lateral edge of a second part of a second protection and sealing member circumferentially adjacent to the first protection and sealing member.

[0035] For this clearance to be substantially constant, the angle formed between the lateral edge and the radially external edge can be between 85° and 89°.

[0036] For example, the angle formed between the lateral edge and the radially outer edge can be equal to 88.75°.

[0037] In other words, the said angle makes it possible to take into account the revolution of the sealing ring of the longitudinal cells and the protection of the longitudinal ribs.

[0038] Optionally, said angle can be adapted according to the number of longitudinal cells of the disc. For example, said angle can be equal to 90 - (360 / (2*N)), with N the number of longitudinal cells of the disc.

[0039] Said first lateral portion of said protection and sealing member can cooperate in shape with the second lateral portion of the first circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member and said second lateral portion of said protection and sealing member can cooperate in shape with the first lateral portion of the second circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member.

[0040] The form cooperation between the protective and sealing member with the first adjacent protective and sealing member and the second adjacent protective and sealing member allows overlapping zones to be created. This improves the sealing function of the sealing ring of the longitudinal cells and the protection of the longitudinal ribs and therefore reduces leakage.

[0041] The at least one second portion may comprise a base from which the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion extend, the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion comprising a thickness equal to half a thickness of the base, the first lateral portion extending from a first axial face of the base, the second lateral portion extending from a second axial face of the base, said second axial face being opposite the first axial face.

[0042] The shape cooperation is thus achieved by interlocking between a first lateral portion and a second complementary lateral portion. The thickness of the first and second lateral portions can be achieved by material removal.

[0043] The first axial face of the base may be an end face of the protection and sealing member so that the first lateral portion is on the extrados side and the second lateral portion is on the intrados side.

[0044] In this way, the sealing provided by the protection and sealing member is improved.

[0045] The first side portion and the second side portion may be beveled.

[0046] The overlap formed by the shape cooperation of the lateral portions is thus progressive, the thickness of the bevel in fact gradually decreases up to its circumferential end. In this way, a smooth overlap is allowed at the level of the overlap zone, and therefore the sealing of the sealing ring of the longitudinal cells and the protection of the longitudinal ribs is improved and therefore leaks are reduced.

[0047] Furthermore, the axial retaining ring or the movable ring (depending on the upstream and / or downstream arrangement of the second part(s)) exerts a contact force on the lateral portion extending from the end face of the protection and sealing member. This makes it possible to press the first and second lateral portions against the overlapping zones and therefore to further improve the sealing of the sealing ring of the longitudinal cells and the protection of the longitudinal ribs.

[0048] The first part may comprise at least one connecting tab to said at least one second part, said at least one connecting tab comprising the first axial end of the first part.

[0049] The first portion may include an axial foot retention tab, which first portion may include a second axial end opposite the first axial end.

[0050] This document may also relate to a turbine, such as a low-pressure turbine, for an aircraft turbomachine with a longitudinal axis comprising a wheel according to the aforementioned type, a movable ring arranged upstream of the wheel and / or an axial retaining ring for the blade, such that the movable ring and / or the axial retaining ring for the blade are in axial contact with the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion of each protection and sealing member.

[0051] The first axial end of the first part may be an upstream end. In this case, the second part connected to the upstream end makes it possible to reduce the contact wear by friction between the upstream faces of the longitudinal ribs and a movable ring ensuring the cooling of the cell bottoms.

[0052] The first axial end of the first part may be a downstream end. In this case, the second part connected to the downstream end makes it possible to reduce frictional contact wear between the downstream faces of the longitudinal ribs and an axial retaining ring of the blade.

[0053] Optionally, a second upstream part may be connected to the upstream end of the first part and a second downstream part may be connected to the downstream end of the first part. Thus, protection and sealing both upstream and downstream are ensured.

[0054] In other words, the wheel may comprise a first and a second sealing ring for the longitudinal cells and for protecting the longitudinal ribs, which are arranged axially on either side of the wheel.

[0055] This document may also relate to a longitudinal axis turbomachine, such as an aircraft turbojet or turboprop, comprising a turbine according to the aforementioned type.

[0056] Said turbomachine can be a turbojet or a turboprop.

[0057] This document may also relate to an aircraft comprising at least one turbomachine of the aforementioned type.

[0058] Said aircraft may be an airplane or a rotary-wing aircraft.

[0059] The features set forth in this document may, optionally, be implemented independently of each other or in combination with each other. Brief description of the drawings

[0078] Figures 5 and 6 illustrate a first embodiment of the protection and sealing member.

[0079] The protection and sealing member 500 comprises a first part 510.

[0080] The first part 510 is dovetail-shaped so as to be complementary in shape to the blade root that it envelops. The first part 510 comprises a base 511 from which circumferential bearing surfaces 517 extend circumferentially on either side.

[0081] The circumferential bearing surfaces 517 are positioned at the contact interface between the flanks of the blade root and the two circumferentially adjacent longitudinal ribs.

[0082] The X' axis is an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the turbomachine and the X axis of Figure 1.

[0083] The first part 510 further comprises axially on either side a joining tab 512 comprising a first axial end 514, and an axial retention tab 516 comprising a second axial end 518 which is arranged axially opposite the first axial end 514.

[0084] Figure 5 shows the axial retention tab 516 in a state before being bent to perform its function of axial retention of the blade root.

[0085] The protection and sealing member 500 comprises a second part 520 directly connected to the first axial end 514 of the joining tab 512 of the first part 510.

[0086] The second portion 520 is substantially rectangular and forms a protective plate. It comprises a base 522 from which a first lateral portion 524 and a second lateral portion 526 extend circumferentially on either side. In other words, the first lateral portion 524 extends circumferentially from a first lateral edge 522a of the base 522 and the second lateral portion 526 extends circumferentially from a second lateral edge 522b of the base 522.

[0087] The radially external and lateral angle of the first lateral portion 524 is an angle α and the radially external and lateral angle of the second lateral portion is an angle β. In other words, a lateral edge 524a of the first lateral portion 524 and a radially external edge 524b of the first lateral portion 524 form an angle α, and a lateral edge 526a of the second lateral portion 526 and a radially external edge 526b of the second lateral portion 526 form an angle β.

[0088] In the illustrated embodiment, angles a and p are identical.

[0089] The first part 510 and the second part 520 have a plane of symmetry which is radial and intersects the X' axis.

[0090] In other words, in the flattened view of Figure 6, the first part 510 and the second part 520 have an axis of symmetry which is the X' axis.

[0091] Reference is now made to Figures 7 and 8 which illustrate the protection and sealing member 500, a first circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member 500' and a first lateral portion 524” of a second part 520” of a second circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member 500”, said protection and sealing members being protection and sealing members according to the embodiment of Figure 5 (the first embodiment).

[0092] The protection and sealing member 500 is arranged circumferentially between the first protection and sealing member 500' and the second protection and sealing member 500”, so that the first lateral portion 524 of the protection and sealing member 500 is circumferentially opposite and cooperates with the second lateral portion 526' of the first protection and sealing member 500' and so that the second lateral portion 526 of the protection and sealing member 500 is circumferentially opposite and cooperates with the first lateral portion 524” of the second protection and sealing member 500”.

[0093] The protection and sealing member 500 envelops the bottom and the sides of a corresponding blade root 22 so as to protect it from contact with a first longitudinal rib 23a and a second longitudinal rib 23b. The longitudinal ribs 23a, 23b delimit a longitudinal cell 20 which receives the blade root 22 enveloped by the protection and sealing member 500.

[0094] As illustrated in FIG. 8, the first lateral portion 524 of the protection and sealing member 500 cooperates with the second lateral portion 526' of the first protection and sealing member 500' so that there is a circumferential clearance j1 between the lateral edges 524a, 526a' of the first lateral portion 524 and of the second lateral portion 526', the lateral edges 524a, 526a' being circumferentially opposite each other.

[0095] The lateral edge 526a' of the second lateral portion 526' forms with a radially external edge 526b' of the second lateral portion 526' of the first protection and sealing member 500' an angle p' (similarly to the angle p).

[0096] In order to minimize leakage and therefore to minimize the circumferential clearance j1, the angles a, p' can be adjusted. This is of course also the case for the angles a', p, a” and p” (some of which are not shown, but similar to a and p for the first protection and sealing member 500' or the second protection and sealing member 500”), or even any angle of a protection and sealing member formed by a radially external edge of a corresponding second part and a lateral edge of said corresponding second part.

[0097] The angle values ​​depend on the number of blades in the wheel (and therefore the number of cells): the more blades there are, the closer the lateral edges will come to a configuration in which they are parallel, in order to follow the annular shape of the disc. In other words, the more blades there are, the more the angles will tend towards 90°.

[0098] For example, we can have: 9 = 90 - (360 / (2*N)), with N the number of longitudinal cells of the disc, 0 being any angle among a, p, a', p', a” and p”, or even any angle of a protection and sealing member formed by a radially external edge of a corresponding second part and a lateral edge of said corresponding second part.

[0099] Figures 9 and 10 illustrate a second embodiment of the protection and sealing member 500.

[0100] In this embodiment, the first lateral portion 524 extends circumferentially from a first lateral edge 522a of the base 522 and a first axial end face 528 of the base 522 (external face, i.e. opening in a direction opposite to the first part 510), and the second lateral portion 526 extends circumferentially from a second lateral edge 522b of the base 522 and a second axial face 529 of the base 522 (internal face, i.e. opening towards the first part 510), which second axial face 529 is opposite the first axial face 528.

[0101] The first lateral portion 524 and the second lateral portion 526 have a thickness e1 equal to half the thickness e2 of the base 522. By thickness, we mean the axial dimension.

[0102] Reference is now made to Figures 11 to 13 which illustrate the protection and sealing member 500, a first circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member 500' and a second portion 520” of a second circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member 500”, said protection and sealing members being protection and sealing members according to the embodiment of Figure 9 (the second embodiment).

[0103] The first lateral portion 524 of the protection and sealing member 500 cooperates with the second lateral portion 526' of the first protection and sealing member 500' and the second lateral portion 526 of the protection and sealing member 500 cooperates with the first portion lateral 524” of the second protection and sealing member 500” so as to form respective overlap zones 530, 532.

[0104] Figure 12 illustrates the overlap zone 530 which is formed by an axial overlap by contact between the first lateral portion 524 of the protection and sealing member 500 and the second lateral portion 526' of the first protection and sealing member 500', the second lateral portion 526' extending from a base 522' of a second part 520' of the first protection and sealing member 500').

[0105] In particular, this axial overlap is partial: the first lateral portion 524 extends partly axially opposite the second lateral portion 526' so that a circumferential clearance j2 exists between the lateral edge 524a of the first lateral portion 524 and the lateral edge 522b' of a base 522' of the first protection and sealing member 500'. This clearance j2 also exists between the lateral edge 526a' of the second lateral portion 526' and the lateral edge 522a of the base 522.

[0106] In operation, this configuration helps limit leaks since the overlap zone 530 is closed.

[0107] Figures 13 and 14 illustrate a third embodiment of the protection and sealing member.

[0108] In this embodiment, the first lateral portion 524 extends circumferentially from a first lateral edge 522a of the base 522 so as to form a first bevel 524.

[0109] As illustrated in detail in Figure 14, the first bevel 524 has a thickness forming a right triangle whose segment 524d axially opposite the hypotenuse 524e extends circumferentially from a first axial end face 528 of the base 522.

[0110] Similarly, the second lateral portion 526 extends circumferentially from a second lateral edge 522b of the base 522 so as to form a second bevel 526.

[0111] The second bevel 526 has a thickness forming a right triangle whose segment 526d axially opposite the hypotenuse 526e extends circumferentially from a second axial end face 529 of the base 522 opposite the first axial face 528.

[0112] Reference is now made to Figures 15 and 16 which illustrate the protection and sealing member 500, a first circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member 500' and a second portion 520” of a second circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member 500”, said protection and sealing members being protection and sealing members according to the embodiment of Figure 13 (the third embodiment).

[0113] The first lateral portion 524 of the protection and sealing member 500 cooperates with the second lateral portion 526' of the first protection and sealing member 500' and the second lateral portion 526 of the protection and sealing member 500 cooperates with the first lateral portion 524" of the second protection and sealing member 500" so as to form respective overlap zones 534, 536.

[0114] Figure 16 illustrates the overlap zone 534 which is formed by an axial overlap by contact between the first bevel 524 of the protection and sealing member 500 and the second bevel 526' of the first circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing member 500'.

[0115] In particular, this overlap is an axial overlap by contact between the hypotenuse 524e of the first bevel 524 and a hypotenuse 526e' of a second bevel 526' of the first protection and sealing member 500', such that the lateral end 524a (i.e. the lateral edge 524a or the tip 524a) of the first bevel 524 is in contact with a lateral edge 522b' of a base 522' of the first protection and sealing member 500', and the lateral end 526a' (i.e. the lateral edge 526a' or the tip 526a') of the second bevel 526' is in contact with the lateral edge 522b of the base 522 of the protection and sealing member 500.

[0116] The point of a bevel is understood to mean the point of intersection between the corresponding hypotenuse and the segment axially opposite said hypotenuse.

[0117] In operation, this configuration helps limit leaks since the overlap area 534 is closed. In addition, the overlap area 534 (as well as the overlap area 536) is progressive, which creates a smooth overlap and improves sealing.

[0118] It is to be understood in the embodiments illustrated in Figures 5 to 16 that the characteristics of the sealing protection member 500 are transposable to the first and second circumferentially adjacent protection and sealing members 500', 500”.
