Method For Reducing Stress On Blade Tips

View page
US Patent:
20130149163, Jun 13, 2013
Filed:
Dec 13, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/324169
Inventors:
Joseph Parkos, JR. - East Haddam CT, US
Michael A. Weisse - Tolland CT, US
Christopher S. McKaveney - Rocky Hill CT, US
James R. Murdock - Tolland CT, US
Scott C. Billings - Marlborough CT, US
Assignee:
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION - Hartford CT
International Classification:
F01D 5/14
B23P 15/02
US Classification:
416224, 416223 R, 416241 R, 416232, 298897, 2988972
Abstract:
A turbine engine component has an airfoil portion with a tip portion and the tip portion has at least one chamfered edge on one side. If desired, the tip portion may have a first chamfered edge on a first side and a second chamfered edge on a second side opposed to the first side. A flattened tip portion may extend between the first and second chamfered edges. A tip treatment may be applied to the flattened tip portion.

US Patent:
20130195669, Aug 1, 2013
Filed:
Jan 31, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/362057
Inventors:
James R. Murdock - Tolland CT, US
Christopher S. McKaveney - Rocky Hill CT, US
Jason Elliott - Huntington IN, US
International Classification:
B64C 27/46
US Classification:
416223 R
Abstract:
A fan blade includes a root including a front surface, a rear surface, a first side surface connected to the front surface and the rear surface, and a second side surface connected to the front surface and the rear surface. The front surface engages the first side surface and the second side surface by one or more blunted surfaces, and the rear surface engages the first side surface and the second side surface by one or more blunted surfaces. A blade extends from the root.

Blade Dovetail Bottom

US Patent:
20130287578, Oct 31, 2013
Filed:
Apr 30, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/459748
Inventors:
Sean A. Whitehurst - South Windsor CT, US
Christopher S. McKaveney - Rocky Hill CT, US
Patrick James McComb - Naugatuck CT, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/30
US Classification:
416219 R
Abstract:
A blade has an airfoil extending radially outwardly of a dovetail. The dovetail has edges that will be at circumferential sides of the blade when the blade is mounted within a rotor. A bottom surface of the dovetail will be radially inward when the rotor blade is mounted in a rotor, and is formed such that a circumferentially central portion of the bottom surface is radially thicker than are circumferential edges. A fan and a gas turbine engine are also described.

Hollow Fan Blade Channel Configuration To Reduce Stress

US Patent:
20130078107, Mar 28, 2013
Filed:
Sep 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/241930
Inventors:
Michael A. Weisse - Tolland CT, US
Christopher S. McKaveney - East Hartford CT, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/14
US Classification:
416236 R
Abstract:
A fan blade has a main body extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. Channels are formed into the main body from an open side extending toward an opposed closed side. A plurality of ribs extending across the main body intermediate the channels, the fan blade has a dovetail, and an airfoil extending radially outwardly from said dovetail. A bottom surface of the channels is defined at the closed side of the channels. Sides of the channel merge into sides of the ribs, with a compound fillet at the bottom surface. A first radius of curvature is used along the bottom, and merging into at least a second radius of curvature at the sides. The first radius of curvature is larger than the second radius of curvature.

US Patent:
20130078106, Mar 28, 2013
Filed:
Sep 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/241821
Inventors:
Christopher S. McKaveney - East Hartford CT, US
James R. Murdock - Tolland CT, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/14
US Classification:
416236 R
Abstract:
A fan blade has a main body extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. Channels are formed into the main body from at least one open side. A plurality of ribs extend across the main body intermediate the channels. The fan blade has a dovetail, and an airfoil extending radially outwardly from the dovetail. The channels have a termination end adjacent a radially inner end of the ribs. The termination end is formed along a complex fillet with a first radius of curvature formed at the termination end, and a second radius of curvature merging into sides of the ribs. The second radius of curvature is greater than the first radius of curvature.

Fan Blade Having Internal Rib Break-Edge

US Patent:
20130078104, Mar 28, 2013
Filed:
Sep 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/241868
Inventors:
Christopher S. McKaveney - East Hartford CT, US
James R. Murdock - Tolland CT, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/30
US Classification:
416219 R
Abstract:
A fan blade has a main body extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. Channels are formed into the main body from at least one open side. A plurality of ribs extend across the main body intermediate the channels. The fan blade has a dovetail, and an airfoil extends radially outwardly from the dovetail. The ribs having a thickness defined as measured from said leading edge toward said trailing edge. The ribs have break-edges at ends of the thickness that extend away from an outer face of the rib.

Hollow Fan Blade Rib Geometry

US Patent:
20130078103, Mar 28, 2013
Filed:
Sep 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/241756
Inventors:
Christopher S. McKaveney - East Hartford CT, US
Letian Wang - Amston CT, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/30
US Classification:
416219 R
Abstract:
A fan blade has a main body extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. Channels are formed into the main body from at least one open side. A plurality of ribs extend across the main body intermediate the channels. The fan blade has a dovetail and an airfoil extending radially outwardly from the dovetail. The ribs have a thickness defined as measured generally from the leading edge toward the trailing edge. A thickness of at least one of the ribs is generally thicker adjacent radially inner ends and becomes thinner moving in a radially outward direction.

Fan Blade Dovetail And Spacer

US Patent:
20160017727, Jan 21, 2016
Filed:
Feb 18, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/773927
Inventors:
- Hartford CT, US
Patrick James McComb - Naugatuck CT, US
Christopher S. McKaveney - Rocky Hill CT, US
International Classification:
F01D 5/30
F01D 5/14
F01D 5/02
Abstract:
A blade according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a radially inner dovetail supporting a radially outer airfoil; and the dovetail having a radial thickness which is less in a circumferentially center portion of the dovetail than circumferentially opposing outer edges.
