Abstract

The blade has vanes (10, 20) comprising respective external surfaces extended between a leading edge (102) and a trailing edge (103) of a turbomachine. The vanes are aligned side by side such that an internal surface of the vane (10) is opposite to an internal face of the vane (20). Strips (30) connect the internal surfaces and are extended until the trailing edge. The thickness of the strips reduces from their center towards leading edges of the strips, such that the leading edges of the strips form a rim. An independent claim is also included for an impeller wheel comprising a set of blades.

Description

La présente invention concerne une aube possédant un bord d'attaque et un bord de fuite.The present invention relates to a blade having a leading edge and a trailing edge.

Dans la description qui suit les termes "bord d'attaque" et "bord de fuite" sont définis par rapport au sens de circulation normal de l'air le long de l'aube.In the following description the terms "leading edge" and "trailing edge" are defined relative to the direction of normal air flow along the blade.

Dans une turbomachine, l'air est comprimé par plusieurs étages d'aubes disposées axialement le long de l'axe principal P de la turbomachine, chaque étage comprenant une série d'aubes disposées le long d'une circonférence autour de cet axe principal P. Un tel étage est appelé roue aubagée. Les aubes s'étendent, depuis une plateforme circonférentielle centrée sur l'axe principal P, sensiblement radialement vers l'extérieur jusqu'à un carter annulaire. La hauteur d'une aube est la dimension radiale de cette aube, c'est-à-dire sensiblement la différence entre le rayon du carter et le rayon de la plateforme.In a turbomachine, the air is compressed by several stages of blades arranged axially along the main axis P of the turbomachine, each stage comprising a series of blades arranged along a circumference around this main axis P Such a stage is called a bladed wheel. The blades extend from a circumferential platform centered on the main axis P, substantially radially outwardly to an annular housing. The height of a blade is the radial dimension of this blade, that is to say substantially the difference between the radius of the casing and the radius of the platform.

Comme représenté sur la figure 1, qui représente une portion d'une roue aubagée, chaque aube 1 de cette roue aubagée s'étend entre la surface radialement extérieure (paroi) 81 de la plateforme 80 et la surface radialement intérieure (paroi) 91 du carter 90. Cette aube 1, étant constituée d'une seule pale, est appelée aube monopale. L'extrémité radialement intérieure 8 de l'aube 1 est solidaire de la plateforme 80. L'extrémité radialement extérieure 9 de l'aube 1 est fixée au carter 90 s'il s'agit d'une aube fixe, et est libre s'il s'agit d'une aube mobile. La roue aubagée comprend donc cette paroi 81 de la plateforme 80, les aubes 1, et cette paroi 91 du carter 90 selon qu'il s'agit d'aubes 1 fixes ou mobiles.As shown on the figure 1 , which represents a portion of a bladed wheel, each blade 1 of this bladed wheel extends between the radially outer surface (wall) 81 of the platform 80 and the radially inner surface (wall) 91 of the casing 90. This blade 1 , consisting of a single blade, is called a single blade. The radially inner end 8 of the blade 1 is integral with the platform 80. The radially outer end 9 of the blade 1 is fixed to the casing 90 if it is a fixed blade, and is free. it is a moving dawn. The bladed wheel therefore comprises this wall 81 of the platform 80, the blades 1, and this wall 91 of the casing 90 according to whether it is blades 1 fixed or mobile.

Chaque aube 1 possède un bord d'attaque 2 et un bord de fuite 3, l'axe A (axe de l'aube) reliant ces deux bords étant sensiblement parallèle à l'axe principal P de la turbomachine, ou faisant un angle aigu avec cet axe principal P. Chaque aube 1 est incurvée par rapport à son axe A de telle sorte qu'une des faces reliant son bord d'attaque 2 à son bord de fuite 3 est convexe (face convexe 4), tandis que l'autre face reliant son bord d'attaque à son bord de fuite est concave (face concave 5).Each blade 1 has a leading edge 2 and a trailing edge 3, the axis A (axis of the blade) connecting these two edges being substantially parallel to the main axis P of the turbomachine, or making an acute angle with this main axis P. Each blade 1 is curved with respect to its axis A so that one of the faces connecting its leading edge 2 to its trailing edge 3 is convex (convex face 4), while the another face connecting its leading edge to its trailing edge is concave (concave face 5).

Le nombre d'aubes sur une roue aubagée est un compromis entre la réduction du poids de cette roue aubagée, la résistance mécanique d'une aube (soumise à des contraintes thermiques, et à des contraintes mécaniques du fait de la rotation à grande vitesse de la roue aubagée), et le rendement aérodynamique d'une aube et en conséquence le rendement aérodynamique de la roue aubagée. La géométrie actuelle des aubes ne permet pas d'amélioration significative des performances aérodynamiques d'une roue aubagée comportant ces aubes.The number of blades on a bladed wheel is a compromise between the reduction of the weight of this bladed wheel, the mechanical strength of a blade (subjected to thermal stresses, and mechanical stresses due to the high speed rotation of the blade). the bladed wheel), and the aerodynamic efficiency of a blade and consequently the performance aerodynamic of the bladed wheel. The current geometry of the blades does not allow any significant improvement in the aerodynamic performance of a bladed wheel comprising these blades.

L'invention vise à proposer des aubes qui possèdent un meilleur rendement aérodynamique, sans compromettre la résistance mécanique de ces aubes.The invention aims to provide blades that have a better aerodynamic performance, without compromising the mechanical strength of these blades.

Ce but est atteint grâce au fait que l'aube comprend une première pale possédant une face interne et une face externe qui s'étendent entre le bord d'attaque et le bord de fuite de l'aube, une deuxième pale possédant une face interne et une face externe qui s'étendent entre son bord d'attaque et son bord de fuite, et au moins une lame reliant la face interne de la première pale et la face interne de la deuxième pale, la au moins une lame s'étendant jusqu'au bord de fuite.This object is achieved by virtue of the fact that the blade comprises a first blade having an inner face and an outer face which extend between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the blade, a second blade having an inner face. and an outer face extending between its leading edge and its trailing edge, and at least one blade connecting the inner face of the first blade and the inner face of the second blade, the at least one blade extending to the trailing edge.

Grâce à ces dispositions, l'aube selon l'invention a une résistance mécanique accrue comparée à une aube constituée d'une seule pale. Cette résistance mécanique accrue autorise une réduction de l'épaisseur moyenne de chacune des pales constituant l'aube. Cette réduction d'épaisseur contribue à améliorer le rendement aérodynamique de l'aube, puisque l'écoulement naturel de l'air passant autour des pales est moins perturbé. De plus, les lames guident l'air entre les deux pales, cet air guidé contribuant lui-même à guider l'air s'écoulant le long des parois externes des deux pales au niveau du bord de fuite de l'aube, en particulier grâce au fait que les lames 30 s'étendent jusqu'au bord de fuite de l'aube. Ainsi, les turbulences de l'écoulement au niveau du bord de fuite sont minimisées. Par conséquent, le rendement aérodynamique de l'aube est encore amélioré.With these provisions, the blade according to the invention has an increased mechanical strength compared to a blade consisting of a single blade. This increased mechanical strength allows a reduction in the average thickness of each blade constituting the blade. This reduction in thickness contributes to improving the aerodynamic efficiency of the blade, since the natural flow of air passing around the blades is less disturbed. In addition, the blades guide the air between the two blades, this guided air itself helping to guide the air flowing along the outer walls of the two blades at the trailing edge of the blade, in particular thanks to the fact that the blades 30 extend to the trailing edge of the blade. Thus, the turbulence of the flow at the trailing edge is minimized. As a result, the aerodynamic efficiency of dawn is further improved.

Avantageusement, l'aube comporte au minimum trois lames.Advantageously, the blade comprises at least three blades.

Ce nombre plus important de lames permet de mieux rigidifier l'aube, et de mieux guider l'air s'écoulant dans l'espace entre la première aube et la deuxième aube.This larger number of blades makes it possible to stiffen the dawn better, and to better guide the air flowing in the space between the first dawn and the second dawn.

L'invention concerne également une roue aubagée comportant sur sa circonférence une série d'aubes selon l'invention.The invention also relates to a bladed wheel having on its circumference a series of blades according to the invention.

L'amélioration du rendement aérodynamique de chacune des aubes selon l'invention (par rapport à une aube monopale), rendue possible grâce à leur géométrie, autorise un espacement plus grand des aubes entre elles le long de la circonférence de la plateforme de la roue aubagée par rapport à l'espacement entre des aubes monopale sur une roue aubagée de l'art antérieur. Au total, malgré le fait qu'une aube individuelle selon l'invention puisse être d'un poids supérieur au poids d'une aube monopale, une roue aubagée selon l'invention peut donc être de poids égal ou inférieur à une roue aubagée munie d'aubes monopale, et avec un rendement supérieur.The improvement of the aerodynamic efficiency of each of the blades according to the invention (with respect to a single blade), made possible by their geometry, allows a greater spacing of the blades between them along the circumference of the wheel platform. bladed relative to the spacing between single-blade vanes on a bladed wheel of the prior art. In total, despite the fact that an individual blade according to the invention can be of a weight greater than the weight of a single blade, a bladed wheel according to the invention can therefore be equal to or less than a bladed wheel provided with of single-blade blades, and with a higher yield.

La figure 2 représente une aube 100 selon l'invention, montée sur une plateforme 80. L'aube 100 comprend une première pale 10, une deuxième pale 20, chacune de ces pales étant similaire à une aube monopale et possédant donc une face convexe, une face concave, un bord d'attaque et un bord de fuite. Ces deux pales sont alignées côte à côte de telle sorte que la face concave 15 de la première pale 10 est, sur sensiblement toute sa surface, en regard de la face convexe 24 de la deuxième pale 20. Il est ainsi défini un espace 40 entre la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20. La face concave 15 est donc appelée face interne 15 de la première pale 10, et la face convexe 24 est donc appelée face interne 24 de la deuxième pale 20. La face convexe 14 de la première pale 10 et la face concave 25 de la deuxième pale 20 constituent les faces externes de l'aube 100. La face convexe 14 est donc appelée face externe 14 de la première pale 10, et la face concave 25 est donc appelée face externe 25 de la deuxième pale 20. L'aube 100 est appelée aube avec pales dédoublées.The figure 2 represents a blade 100 according to the invention, mounted on a platform 80. The blade 100 comprises a first blade 10, a second blade 20, each of these blades being similar to a single blade and therefore having a convex face, a concave face , a leading edge and a trailing edge. These two blades are aligned side by side so that the concave face 15 of the first blade 10 is, over substantially its entire surface, facing the convex face 24 of the second blade 20. There is thus defined a space 40 between the first blade 10 and the second blade 20. The concave face 15 is thus called internal face 15 of the first blade 10, and the convex face 24 is thus called internal face 24 of the second blade 20. The convex face 14 of the first blade blade 10 and the concave face 25 of the second blade 20 constitute the outer faces of the blade 100. The convex face 14 is therefore called the outer face 14 of the first blade 10, and the concave face 25 is therefore called the outer face 25 of the second blade 20. The dawn 100 is called dawn with split blades.

La face interne 15 de la première pale 10 et la face interne 24 de la deuxième pale 20 sont reliées entre elles par une ou plusieurs lames 30, disposées dans l'espace 40. Chaque lame possède un bord d'attaque 32, un bord de fuite 33, et entre les deux une partie centrale avec une face radialement inférieure 38 (c'est-à-dire orientée vers la plateforme 80) et une face radialement supérieure 39 (c'est-à-dire orientée vers le carter 90).The inner face 15 of the first blade 10 and the inner face 24 of the second blade 20 are interconnected by one or more blades 30 disposed in the space 40. Each blade has a leading edge 32, an edge of 33, and between the two a central portion with a radially lower face 38 (that is to say oriented towards the platform 80) and a radially upper face 39 (that is to say facing the housing 90) .

Chaque lame 30 est un élément de liaison continu qui relie ces deux faces internes, cet élément de liaison formant à la fois un renfort qui participe à la cohésion et à la résistance mécanique de l'aube 100, et un guide, le long de sa face radialement inférieure 38, et de sa face radialement supérieure 39, pour l'écoulement de l'air entre la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20. Chaque lame 30 peut avoir son intérieur creux, ou plein.Each blade 30 is a continuous connecting element which connects these two internal faces, this connecting element forming both a reinforcement which contributes to the cohesion and the mechanical strength of the blade 100, and a guide, along its length. radially lower face 38, and its radially upper face 39, for the flow of air between the first blade 10 and the second blade 20. Each blade 30 may have its interior hollow, or full.

Les lames 30 s'étendent sensiblement depuis le bord d'attaque 12 de la première pale 10 et le bord d'attaque 22 de la deuxième pale 20 jusqu'au bord de fuite 13 de la première pale 10 et au bord de fuite 23 de la deuxième pale 20. Le bord d'attaque 102 de l'aube 100 est ainsi constitué par les bords d'attaque 12 et 22 de la première pale 10 et de la deuxième pale 20, respectivement. Le bord de fuite 103 de l'aube 100 est constitué par les bords de fuite 13 et 23 de la première pale 10 et de la deuxième pale 20, respectivement. Les lames 30 sont orientées selon la direction du bord d'attaque 102 vers le bord de fuite 103, sensiblement perpendiculairement au bord d'attaque 102 et au bord de fuite 103.The blades 30 extend substantially from the leading edge 12 of the first blade 10 and the leading edge 22 of the second blade 20 to the trailing edge 13 of the first blade 10 and the trailing edge 23 of the first blade 10. the second blade 20. The leading edge 102 of the blade 100 is thus constituted by the leading edges 12 and 22 of the first blade 10 and the second blade 20, respectively. The trailing edge 103 of the blade 100 is formed by the trailing edges 13 and 23 of the first blade 10 and the second blade 20, respectively. The blades 30 are oriented in the direction of the leading edge 102 towards the trailing edge 103, substantially perpendicular to the leading edge 102 and the trailing edge 103.

L'aube 100, puisqu'elle comprend deux pales, possède une résistance mécanique accrue comparée à une aube monopale. Cette résistance mécanique accrue autorise une réduction de l'épaisseur moyenne de chacune des pales constituant l'aube 100, c'est-à-dire que la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20 ont chacune une épaisseur moindre que celle d'une aube monopale. Le poids total de l'aube 100 peut même être sensiblement égal au poids d'une aube monopale 1. De plus, comme expliqué plus haut, l'aube 100 a un meilleur rendement aérodynamique qu'une aube monopale, grâce aux lames 30. Sur une roue aubagée comportant des aubes 100 selon l'invention, cette amélioration du rendement aérodynamique autorise un espacement plus grand des aubes 100 entre elles le long de la circonférence de la plateforme 80 de la roue aubagée par rapport à l'espacement entre des aubes monopale sur une roue aubagée de l'art antérieur. Au total, une roue aubagée selon l'invention peut donc être de poids égal ou inférieur à une roue aubagée munie d'aubes monopale. Il en résulte une diminution du poids d'une turbomachine munie de roues aubagées selon l'invention, donc de sa consommation en carburant.The blade 100, since it comprises two blades, has an increased mechanical strength compared to a single blade. This increased mechanical strength allows a reduction in the average thickness of each blade constituting the blade 100, that is to say that the first blade 10 and the second blade 20 each have a thickness less than that of a blade monoblade. The total weight of the blade 100 may even be substantially equal to the weight of a single blade 1. In addition, as explained above, the blade 100 has a better aerodynamic efficiency than a single blade thanks to the blades 30. On a bladed wheel with blades 100 according to the invention, this improvement in aerodynamic efficiency allows a greater spacing of the blades 100 between them along the circumference of the platform 80 of the wheel bladed with respect to the spacing between single-blade vanes on a bladed wheel of the prior art. In total, a bladed wheel according to the invention can therefore be equal to or less than a bladed wheel provided with single blades. This results in a reduction in the weight of a turbomachine provided with bladed wheels according to the invention, so its fuel consumption.

De plus, l'aube 100 selon l'invention possède une meilleure tenue à la température qu'une aube monopale, puisque l'aube 100 possède plus de surface d'échange thermique qu'une aube monopale.In addition, the blade 100 according to the invention has a better resistance to temperature than a single blade, since the blade 100 has more heat exchange surface than a single blade.

L'aube 100 peut comporter plusieurs lames 30. Par exemple, l'aube peut comporter au minimum trois lames, avec une première lame 30A située entre 0% et 30% de la hauteur de l'aube 100, une dernière lame 30N située entre 70% et 100% de la hauteur de l'aube 100, et une lame située sensiblement au milieu de la hauteur de l'aube 100, une hauteur de 0% correspondant à l'extrémité radialement interne de l'aube, et une hauteur de 100% correspondant à l'extrémité radialement externe de l'aube. Les lames supplémentaires, le cas échéant, sont situées à intervalles réguliers entre ces lames.The blade 100 may comprise several blades 30. For example, the blade may comprise at least three blades, with a first blade 30 A located between 0% and 30% of the height of the blade 100, a last blade 30 N located between 70% and 100% of the height of the blade 100, and a blade located substantially in the middle of the height of the blade 100, a height of 0% corresponding to the radially inner end of the blade, and a height of 100% corresponding to the radially outer end of the blade. The additional blades, if any, are located at regular intervals between these blades.

Il est important que la première lame 30A ne soit pas trop éloignée de la plateforme 80 (en l'espèce à moins de 30% de la hauteur de l'aube 100) afin de pouvoir plus efficacement diminuer les turbulences générées par la surface radialement extérieure 81 de la plateforme 80 dans l'écoulement. De même, il est important que la dernière lame 30N ne soit pas trop éloignée du carter 90 (en l'espèce à plus de 70% de la hauteur de l'aube 100) afin de pouvoir plus efficacement diminuer les turbulences générées par la surface radialement intérieure 91 du carter 90 dans l'écoulement.It is important that the first blade 30 A is not too far from the platform 80 (in this case less than 30% of the height of the blade 100) in order to more effectively reduce the turbulence generated by the surface radially 81 outside the platform 80 in the flow. Similarly, it is important that the last 30 N blade is not too far from the housing 90 (in this case more than 70% of the height of the blade 100) in order to more effectively reduce the turbulence generated by the radially inner surface 91 of the housing 90 in the flow.

L'aube 100 peut comporter un nombre de lames supérieur à trois, par exemple 4, 5, 6, 7, ou plus, réparties sur toute sa hauteur. Les figures 2 à 5 représentent une aube 100 comportant cinq lames 30. Pour permettre un débit d'air suffisant entre la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20, et pour minimiser le poids de l'aube 100, il est cependant préférable que les lames ne soient pas en nombre trop important. Ainsi, il est préférable que la distance radiale entre deux lames 30 adjacentes soit supérieure à la distance D entre la face interne 15 de la première pale 10 et la face interne 24 de la deuxième pale 20.The blade 100 may comprise a number of blades greater than three, for example 4, 5, 6, 7, or more, distributed over its entire height. The Figures 2 to 5 represent a blade 100 having five blades 30. To allow a sufficient air flow between the first blade 10 and the second blade 20, and to minimize the weight of the blade 100, it is however preferable that the blades are not in position. too many. Thus, it is preferable that the radial distance between two adjacent blades 30 is greater than the distance D between the inner face 15 of the first blade 10 and the inner face 24 of the second blade 20.

La distance D entre la face interne 15 de la première pale 10 et la face interne 24 de la deuxième pale 20 est au plus égale à trois fois l'épaisseur maximale de la première ou deuxième pale. Par exemple, la distance D est de l'ordre de grandeur de cette épaisseur maximale.The distance D between the inner face 15 of the first blade 10 and the inner face 24 of the second blade 20 is at most equal to three times the maximum thickness of the first or second blade. For example, the distance D is of the order of magnitude of this maximum thickness.

De préférence la distance D entre la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20 est inférieure à 15 mm. Par exemple la distance D est comprise entre 2 et 5 mm. Cette distance D peut varier le long de la lame 30 entre son bord d'attaque 32 et son bord de fuite 33, dans ce cas la distance D est la distance moyenne entre les deux pales.Preferably the distance D between the first blade 10 and the second blade 20 is less than 15 mm. For example, the distance D is between 2 and 5 mm. This distance D can vary along the blade 30 between its leading edge 32 and its trailing edge 33, in which case the distance D is the average distance between the two blades.

Avantageusement, dans une roue aubagée comportant des aubes 100, chacune des lames 30 possède un profil tel que les turbulences/tourbillons de l'écoulement de l'air le long de cette lame 30 sont minimisées. Par exemple, les lames 30 suivent sensiblement les lignes de flux de l'écoulement d'air dans l'espace 40 entre la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20 tel qu'il aurait lieu si ces lames 30 n'étaient pas présentes, afin de perturber au minimum cet écoulement d'air.Advantageously, in a bladed wheel having blades 100, each of the blades 30 has a profile such that turbulence / vortices of the flow of air along this blade 30 are minimized. For example, the blades 30 substantially follow the flow lines of the air flow in the space 40 between the first blade 10 and the second blade 20 as it would take place if these blades 30 were not present, in order to disturb this airflow to a minimum.

Notamment, le profil et la disposition de la première lame 30A, qui est la plus proche de la paroi (surface radialement extérieure 81) de la plateforme 80, et le profil et la disposition de la dernière lame 30N, qui est la plus proche de la paroi (surface radialement intérieure 91) du carter 90, ont une importance particulière.In particular, the profile and the disposition of the first blade 30 A , which is the closest to the wall (radially outer surface 81) of the platform 80, and the profile and the disposition of the last blade 30 N , which is the most close to the wall (radially inner surface 91) of the housing 90, are of particular importance.

En effet, les lignes de flux de l'écoulement entre les pales sont notamment définies par la paroi 81 de la plateforme 80 et la paroi 91 du carter 90 aux extrémités respectivement radialement interne et externe de l'aube, c'est-à-dire que les lignes de flux à proximité de ces parois sont sensiblement parallèles à ces parois. Ainsi, la première lame 30A est sensiblement parallèle à la paroi 81 de la plateforme 80, et la dernière lame 30N est sensiblement parallèle à la paroi 91 du carter 90, comme représenté sur les figures 4 et 5.Indeed, the flow lines of the flow between the blades are defined in particular by the wall 81 of the platform 80 and the wall 91 of the casing 90 at the radially inner and outer ends respectively of the blade, that is to say to say that the flow lines near these walls are substantially parallel to these walls. Thus, the first blade 30 A is substantially parallel to the wall 81 of the platform 80, and the last blade 30 N is substantially parallel to the wall 91 of the housing 90, as shown in FIGS. Figures 4 and 5 .

Par exemple, au moins une des lames 30 est rectiligne.For example, at least one of the blades 30 is rectilinear.

Par exemple, au moins une des lames 30 possède au moins une courbure dans un plan s'étendant selon la hauteur de ladite aube (c'est-à-dire un plan radial contenant l'axe principal P de la turbomachine).For example, at least one of the blades 30 has at least one curvature in a plane extending along the height of said blade (that is to say a radial plane containing the main axis P of the turbomachine).

Il est possible également que les lames 30 ne suivent pas l'écoulement d'air dans l'espace 40 tel qu'il aurait lieu si ces lames 30 n'étaient pas présentes, et au contraire que ces lames forcent l'air à s'écouler davantage vers le pied de l'aube 100. En effet, il est connu qu'il se produit en général une divergence de l'écoulement d'air entre deux aubes (c'est-à-dire que le flux d'air circulant entre deux aubes adjacentes a tendance à monter du pied vers la tête de l'aube lorsqu'il longe ces aubes) qui est indésirable. En forçant le flux d'air dans l'espace 40 à s'écouler davantage vers le pied de l'aube 100, on influence l'écoulement d'air entre deux aubes 100 adjacentes, et on contribue ainsi à réduire aussi la divergence de cet écoulement d'air.It is also possible that the blades 30 do not follow the flow of air in the space 40 as would occur if these blades were not present, and instead that these blades force the air to to flow more towards the foot of the dawn 100. In fact, it is known that a divergence of the flow of air between two blades generally occurs (that is to say that the flow of air flowing between two adjacent blades tends to climb from the foot to the head of dawn when it runs along these blades) which is undesirable. By forcing the flow of air into the space 40 to flow further towards the root of the blade 100, the flow of air is influenced between two adjacent blades 100, and thus contributes to reducing the divergence of this flow of air.

Sur les figures 2 et 4, chacune des lames 30 est représentée avec une épaisseur constante entre son bord d'attaque 32 et son bord de fuite 33 (l'épaisseur d'une lame 30 étant sa dimension selon la hauteur de l'aube 100 à laquelle elle appartient). En conséquence, les bords d'attaque 32 et les bords de fuite 33 des lames 30 sont sensiblement rectangulaires. Alternativement, l'épaisseur d'une lame 30 peut diminuer depuis son milieu vers son bord d'attaque 32 de telle sorte que ce bord d'attaque 32 forme une arête. De plus, ou alternativement, l'épaisseur d'une lame 30 peut diminuer depuis son milieu vers son bord de fuite 33 de telle sorte que ce bord de fuite 33 forme une arête. De la sorte, les perturbations de l'écoulement d'air dans l'espace 40 entre la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20 sont diminuées par rapport à une lame d'épaisseur constante.On the figures 2 and 4 each of the blades 30 is shown with a constant thickness between its leading edge 32 and its trailing edge 33 (the thickness of a blade 30 being its dimension according to the height of the blade 100 to which it belongs). As a result, the leading edges 32 and the trailing edges 33 of the blades 30 are substantially rectangular. Alternatively, the thickness of a blade 30 may decrease from its middle to its leading edge 32 so that the leading edge 32 forms an edge. In addition, or alternatively, the thickness of a blade 30 may decrease from its center towards its trailing edge 33 so that this trailing edge 33 forms an edge. In this way, the disturbances of the air flow in the space 40 between the first blade 10 and the second blade 20 are decreased relative to a blade of constant thickness.

Cette diminution d'épaisseur de la lame 30 peut être progressive, ou l'épaisseur peut être sensiblement constante le long de la lame 30, et ne diminuer qu'au voisinage des extrémités (bord d'attaque 32 et/ou bord de fuite 33), comme représenté sur la figure 5.This reduction in thickness of the blade 30 may be progressive, or the thickness may be substantially constant along the blade 30, and decrease only in the vicinity of the ends (leading edge 32 and / or trailing edge 33 ), as shown on the figure 5 .

Le profil de la face interne/externe d'une aube ou d'une pale est défini comme la géométrie de la surface de cette face. Par exemple les profils de la face interne 15 de la première pale et de la face interne 24 de la deuxième pale sont identiques, et les profils de la face externe 14 de la première pale et de la face externe 25 de la deuxième pale sont identiques. Cependant, la géométrie différente de l'aube 100 selon l'invention par rapport à une aube monopale entraîne une modification des caractéristiques aérodynamiques de l'aube 100. Avantageusement, la face externe 14 de la première pale 10, la face interne 15 de la première pale 10, la face interne 24 de la deuxième pale 20, et la face externe 25 de la deuxième pale 20, ont toutes des profils différents, de telle sorte que l'écoulement de l'air dans l'espace 40 entre la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20 et autour de l'aube 100 est optimisé. De plus, le profil de la face externe 14 de la première pale 10 est différent du profil de la face convexe 4 d'une aube monopale, et le profil de la face externe 25 de la deuxième pale 20 est différent du profil de la face concave 5 d'une aube monopale de l'art antérieur. En particulier, les profils des faces interne et externe de la première pale 10 et les profils des faces interne et externe de la deuxième pale 20 sont différents respectivement des profils des faces interne et externe d'une première pale et des profils des faces interne et externe d'une deuxième pale qui seraient placées à proximité l'une de l'autre sans lames 30 les reliant entre elles.The profile of the internal / external face of a blade or a blade is defined as the geometry of the surface of this face. For example, the profiles of the inner face 15 of the first blade and the inner face 24 of the second blade are identical, and the profiles of the outer face 14 of the first blade and the outer face 25 of the second blade are identical. . However, the different geometry of the blade 100 according to the invention with respect to a single blade causes a modification of the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade 100. Advantageously, the outer face 14 of the first blade 10, the inner face 15 of the blade first blade 10, the inner face 24 of the second blade 20, and the outer face 25 of the second blade 20, all have different profiles, so that the flow of air in the space 40 between the first blade 10 and the second blade 20 and around the blade 100 is optimized. In addition, the profile of the outer face 14 of the first blade 10 is different from the profile of the convex face 4 of a single blade, and the profile of the outer face 25 of the second blade 20 is different from the profile of the face. concave 5 of a single blade of the prior art. In particular, the profiles of the inner and outer faces of the first blade 10 and the profiles of the inner and outer faces of the second blade 20 are respectively different profiles of the inner and outer faces of a first blade and profiles of the inner faces and external of a second blade which would be placed close to each other without blades 30 connecting them.

Les lames 30 s'étendent depuis le bord d'attaque 102 jusqu'au bord de fuite 103 de l'aube 100, comme représenté sur la figure 5. Alternativement, les lames 30 peuvent commencer à une certaine distance du bord d'attaque 102, en s'étendant jusqu'au bord de fuite 103, comme représenté sur la figure 4. Ainsi, le bord d'attaque 32 des lames 30 commence en retrait d'une distance d par rapport au bord d'attaque 102 de l'aube 100. Cette distance d est par exemple inférieure à 10% de la distance entre le bord d'attaque 102 et le bord de fuite 103.The blades 30 extend from the leading edge 102 to the trailing edge 103 of the blade 100, as shown in FIG. figure 5 . Alternatively, the blades 30 can start at a distance from the leading edge 102, extending to the trailing edge 103, as shown in FIG. figure 4 . Thus, the leading edge 32 of the blades 30 starts set back by a distance d with respect to the leading edge 102 of the blade 100. This distance d is, for example, less than 10% of the distance between the edge d attack 102 and the trailing edge 103.

Le plan ou la surface contenant une lame 30 est sensiblement perpendiculaire aux faces internes 15, 24 des pales que cette lame 30 joint. Alternativement, une lame 30 peut être en torsion autour de la courbe médiane qui joint le bord d'attaque 32 de la lame à son bord de fuite 33. Cette torsion est destinée à faire en sorte que lames 30 suivent sensiblement les lignes de flux de l'écoulement d'air dans l'espace 40 entre la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20 tel qu'il aurait lieu si ces lames 30 n'étaient pas présentes, afin de perturber au minimum cet écoulement d'air.The plane or the surface containing a blade 30 is substantially perpendicular to the inner faces 15, 24 of the blades that this blade 30 joins. Alternatively, a blade 30 may be twisted around the median curve which joins the leading edge 32 of the blade to its trailing edge 33. This twist is intended to cause the blades 30 to substantially follow the flow lines of the blade. the flow of air in the space 40 between the first blade 10 and the second blade 20 as would occur if these blades 30 were not present, in order to disturb this airflow to a minimum.

L'aube peut être réalisée en divers matériaux : acier, superalliage à base nickel ou cobalt, alliage de titane, alliage d'aluminium, matériau composite avec une matrice, par exemple une matrice polymère, céramique, ou métallique, renforcée par des fibres, par exemple des fibres de carbone, de kevlar, de verre, ou de métal.The blade may be made of various materials: steel, nickel-base or cobalt-based superalloy, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, composite material with a matrix, for example a polymer, ceramic or metal matrix, reinforced with fibers, for example carbon fibers, kevlar, glass, or metal.

L'aube 100 selon l'invention peut être fabriquée en utilisant divers procédés, selon le matériau constituant l'aube 100.The blade 100 according to the invention can be manufactured using various methods, depending on the material constituting the blade 100.

Dans la description ci-dessus, l'aube 100 comprend deux pales. Alternativement, l'aube 100 peut comporter plus de deux pales. Par exemple, l'aube 100 peut comporter en outre une troisième pale située entre la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20, la troisième pale possédant une première face et une seconde face qui s'étendent entre le bord d'attaque 102 et le bord de fuite 103 de l'aube 100, la première face étant reliée à la face interne 15 de la première pale 10 par au moins une lame 30 et la seconde face étant reliée à la face interne 24 de la deuxième pale 20 par au moins cette lame 30.In the above description, blade 100 includes two blades. Alternatively, the blade 100 may comprise more than two blades. For example, the blade 100 may further comprise a third blade located between the first blade 10 and the second blade 20, the third blade having a first face and a second face extending between the leading edge 102 and the first blade. trailing edge 103 of the blade 100, the first face being connected to the inner face 15 of the first blade 10 by at least one blade 30 and the second face being connected to the inner face 24 of the second blade 20 by at least this blade 30.

Ainsi, l'aube 100 comprend trois pales, la troisième pale se situant entre la première pale 10 et la deuxième pale 20. Ces trois pales sont alignées côte à côte de telle sorte que la face concave 15 de la première pale 10 est, sur sensiblement toute sa surface, en regard de la face convexe (première face) de la troisième pale, et que la face convexe 24 de la deuxième pale 20 est, sur sensiblement toute sa surface, en regard de la face concave de la troisième pale. Les lames 30 reliant la première pale 10 à la deuxième pale 20 traversent la troisième pale (ou se fondent avec cette troisième pale à leur intersection avec cette troisième pale, selon le mode de fabrication de l'aube). On peut également considérer que chaque lame 30 est en deux parties, une première partie reliant la première pale 10 et la troisième pale, et, dans le prolongement de cette première partie, une seconde partie reliant la troisième pale et la deuxième pale 20.Thus, the blade 100 comprises three blades, the third blade being located between the first blade 10 and the second blade 20. These three blades are aligned side by side so that the concave face 15 of the first blade 10 is, on substantially all of its surface, opposite the convex face (first face) of the third blade, and that the convex face 24 of the second blade 20 is, over substantially its entire surface, facing the concave face of the third blade. The blades 30 connecting the first blade 10 to the second blade 20 pass through the third blade (or merge with the third blade at their intersection with the third blade, according to the manufacturing method of the blade). It can also be considered that each blade 30 is in two parts, a first part connecting the first blade 10 and the third blade, and, in the extension of this first part, a second portion connecting the third blade and the second blade 20.

Cette aube 100 à trois pales est, d'un point de vue aérodynamique, plus efficace qu'une aube 100 à deux pales, car l'écoulement d'air entre ces pales et le long de l'extérieur de cette aube est mieux guidé. En conséquence, il est possible de diminuer le nombre total d'aubes 100 sur une roue aubagée en les espaçant davantage, jusqu'à obtenir une roue aubagée plus légère qu'une roue aubagée avec des aubes monopale.This blade with three blades is, from an aerodynamic point of view, more effective than a blade 100 with two blades, because the flow of air between these blades and along the outside of this blade is better guided. . As a result, it is possible to decrease the total number of blades 100 on a bladed wheel by spacing them further, until a lighter bladed wheel than a bladed wheel with single blade blades is obtained.

L'invention s'applique au cas d'une turbomachine comportant au moins une aube 100 selon l'invention.The invention applies to the case of a turbomachine comprising at least one blade 100 according to the invention.

L'invention a été décrite dans le cas d'aubes fixes ou mobiles de turbine BP non-refroidies. L'invention s'applique également à des aubes de turbine haute pression (HP) non-refroidies, fixes ou mobiles.The invention has been described in the case of non-cooled LP turbine blades or mobile vanes. The invention is also applicable to non-cooled high pressure turbine blades (HP), fixed or mobile.
