Abstract
An assembly for producing a molding, made of removable material, of a turbomachine blade, includes an injection mold for the removable material in which a first core element and a second core element are mounted in a predetermined molding position, wherein the first and second core elements extend in a first direction. The mold includes a first face for molding a pressure-side face of the blade and a second face for molding a suction-side face of the blade and arranged facing the first face in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Retaining members hold the cores in position in the injection mold.

An assembly for producing a molding, made of removable material, of a turbomachine blade, comprising an injection mold for said removable material in which a first core element and a second core element are configured to be mounted in a predetermined molding position, the first and second core elements extending in a first direction, the mold comprising:
- a first molding face configured to mold a pressure-side face of the blade and a second molding face configured to mold a suction-side face of the blade and arranged facing the first face in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and
- retaining members configured to hold the cores in position in the injection mold,
- wherein at least a first retaining member extends from the first face of the mold in the second direction and extends at least partially through the first and second core elements, the first retaining member comprising a first support point at which the first retaining member bears against the first core element and a second support point at which the first retaining member bears against the second core element.
A method for producing a molding, made of removable material, of a turbomachine blade, the method comprising:
- providing a first core element and a second core element, said core elements extending in a first direction;
- and
- providing an injection mold for said removable material,
- wherein the mold comprises:
- a first molding face configured to mold a pressure-side face of the blade and a second molding face configured to mold a suction-side face of the blade and arranged facing the first face in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
- and
- retaining members configured to hold the cores in position in the injection mold, among which at least a first retaining member extends from the first molding face in the second direction,
- the method further comprising the step of positioning the first core element and the second core element on the first molding face such that the first retaining member extends at least partially through the first and second core elements and comprises a first support point at which the first retaining member bears against the first core element and a second support point at which the first retaining member bears against the second core element.
