Abstract
A fan includes: a fan disc; an inter-blade platform including a base and a radial tab, a second orifice being formed in the tab of the platform; and a lock having a downstream edge configured to bear against the tab of the platform. The one among the downstream edge and the yoke of the fan disc includes a pin, the other includes a first orifice, the pin being configured to enter the first orifice and the second orifice so as to block the platform relative to the fan disc.
Claims14
A fan for a gas turbine engine comprising:
- a fan disc having an upstream face, a radial face configured to receive a series of fan blades and a yoke extending radially from the radial face,
- an inter-blade platform, said platform comprising:
- a base having a first surface configured to delimit a flow path in the fan and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and
- a tab extending radially with respect to an axis of revolution of the fan disc, the tab being adjacent to the second surface, and
- a lock having a downstream edge extending radially with respect to the axis of revolution of the fan disc, the downstream edge of the lock configured to bear against the tab of the platform,
- wherein one of the downstream edge of the lock and an upstream face of the yoke comprises a pin, a first orifice being formed in the other one among the downstream edge of the lock and the upstream face of the yoke of the fan disc,
- wherein a second orifice is formed in the tab,
- wherein the pin is configured to enter the first orifice and the second orifice so as to block motion of the inter-blade platform with respect to the fan disc,
- wherein the base of the inter-blade platform has an upstream end in which a through passage is formed, and
- wherein the lock comprises an upstream edge configured to enter the through passage when the downstream edge of the lock bears against the tab.
