Abstract
The present invention relates to a monobloc rotor having a disk and hollow blades which are secured to the disk. The disk includes a protuberance and a projection on a periphery of the disk such that the projection forms a block having a shape which approximately corresponds to a shape of an inside of a radially internal extremity of the blade. The present invention further relates to a monobloc rotor in which a block is welded to the protuberance with the block forming a projection having a shape which approximately corresponds to a shape of an inside of a radially internal extremity of the blade.
Claims4
A monobloc rotor comprising:
- a disk and hollow blades secured to said disk;
- wherein:
- the disk comprises a protuberance and a projection on a periphery of the disk and at the right of each blade;
- the projection forms a block having a shape which approximately corresponds to a shape of an inside of a radially internal extremity of the blade;
- the projection has smaller dimensions than dimensions of the protuberance so as to define with respect to said protuberance a shoulder which forms a flat joining surface around the projection which is substantially parallel to a top surface of the projection;
- and
- the blade is nested on the projection with a welding bead extending between a surface defined by a thickness of the blade and the flat joining surface, the thickness of the blade being substantially equal to length of the flat joining surface, the projection preventing the welding bead from protecting toward an interior of the hollow blade.

- a block welded to the protuberance, said block forming a projection having a shape which approximately corresponds to a shape of an inside of a radially internal extremity of the blade;
- a radially internal portion of the block is surrounded by a thin collar forming a flat joining surface which is substantially parallel to a top surface of the projection;
- and
- the blade is nested on the projection with a welding head extended between a surface defined by a thickness of the blade and said flat joining surface, the thickness of the blade being substantially equal to a length of the flat joining surface, the projection preventing the welding bead from projecting toward an interior of the hollow blade.
