Abstract
A blade for an aircraft turbomachine receiving part including a root, and an airfoil part prolonging this root. The airfoil part includes a mechanical fuse located at a distance from the bottom of the blade, along the length direction of the airfoil part, between 0.25 and 0.5 times the length of the airfoil part along this length direction.
Claims8
A blade for an aircraft turbomachine receiving part, comprising:
- a root;
- and
- an airfoil part prolonging said root, said airfoil part including an aerodynamic shell surrounding a hollow structural core,
- wherein said blade further includes a bowl with a head at a first end thereof and a stem extending from said bowl head, said bowl head being located in said shell and said bowl stem being located outside said shell, said bowl stem presenting a junction with a reduced cross-section connecting said airfoil part to said root,
- wherein said hollow structural core extends along a length direction of said airfoil part and is located in external radial continuity with said bowl head such that a first end of said hollow structural core faces said bowl head,
- wherein a sleeve surrounds said first end of said bowl and said first end of said hollow structural core, and
- wherein said airfoil part includes a mechanical fuse provided at an interface between said bowl head and said hollow structural core, and the mechanical fuse is located at a distance from a bottom of the blade along the length direction of the airfoil part, between 0.25 and 0.5 times the length of said airfoil part along the length direction.
