Definitions

  • This invention relates to rotary fluid pumps of the N and N+1 lobed type disclosed in for example prior Patent No. 1032862.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved practical form of pump of the type disclosed in Patent No. 1032862.
  • a pump of this type wherein clearance is provided at the roots of the outer rotor in excess of normal running clearance characterised in that the inner and outer rotors are conjugate (as defined herein) at at least one of the positions of full mesh whereby in the or each such position a substantially normal running clearance or clearances is maintained at the opposite side of the inner rotor axis to the position of full mesh.
  • normal running clearance refers to the separation that is present between the driving surfaces of the rotor forms during those parts of each rotor revolution wherein the rotors are not substantially fully meshed. In practice, while such surfaces will be in drive transmitting relation they will be separated by a film of the oil which is being pumped. Typically, as mentioned above, normal running clearances range up to about 0.0055 inch (about 0.014cm) depending upon pump size. Calculations for a prior art 6/7 lobed pump, indicate that normal running clearances will prevail for about 55% of the time and for the remaining 45% of the time, the clearances will become excessive. Thus, the present invention allows normal running clearances to be attained for the remaining 45% of the time with improved volumetric efficiency.
  • the present invention is based on the realisation that, contrary to previous thinking, volumetric efficiency is affected by providing for dirt clearance at the interlobe roots of the outer rotor despite transfer of the area of driving contact from one side to the other.
  • the deleterious affect is primarily attributable to two factors: firstly the relatively large dirt clearances at the interlobe roots of the outer rotor; and secondly the fact that in pumps of the type with which the present invention is concerned, the outer rotor does not rotate about a precisely fixed centre, the practice being to mount the outer rotor in a housing which permits a limited radial floating movement to compensate for tolerances in manufacture etc.
  • the present invention avoids this phenomenon by reducing the clearance between the registering lobe and root at that point where the outer rotor would otherwise be able to shift radially and create a leakage gap or gaps at the opposite side of the inner rotor axis.
  • each interlobe root of the outer rotor In the prior art for convenience of manufacture and for provision of dirt clearance, it is known to form the "base" of each interlobe root of the outer rotor as a part cylindrical surface but in the past the clearance gap between the inner rotor lobes and each root has always been in excess of normal running clearance even at the zone of closest approach between the two.
  • the inner and outer rotors are conjugate such that the clearance at this zone is limited to a value which ensures that the clearances on the opposite side of the inner rotor axis are substantially normal running clearances.
  • each of the interlobe roots 22 of the annulus 14 are formed as part cylindrical surfaces which afford dirt clearance pockets for passage of dirt particles through the pump.
  • the clearance at point 24 of each root 22 is greater than the normal running clearance allowed at other points around the peripheries of the rotor 10 and annulus 14. This has not been considered undesirable in the past as explained hereinbefore.
  • the inner rotor 10 is conjugate with the annulus 14 such that, in the illustrated embodiment having an inner rotor with an even number of lobes, the diametral distance between the tips of the inner rotor lobes is less than the distance from the point 24 (the zone of closest approach) and the annulus lobe tip 32 by an amount such that the clearances 24 and 32 are normal running clearances, i.e. no greater than 0.0055 inch (0.014cm).
  • Figure 4 serves to illustrate further the loss of pump efficiency that occurs with prior art pumps.
  • This Figure also shows, on a somewhat exagerrated scale, the radial clearance or play 40 provided between the outer rotor 14 and its housing 15.
  • Such clearance is necessary in practice to allow for the manufacturing tolerances involved in the production of the rotors 10,14.
  • the maximum. clearance between the outer rotor 14 and its housing 15 will in general exceed the normal running clearance between the rotors and will typically be of the order of 0.006 - 0.013 inch (0.015 - 0.033cm).
  • the same reference numerals are used in Figure 4 as in Figures 1-3 and it will be seen that the excessive dirt clearance at point 24 results in large separations (exceeding normal running clearances) at points 32 at the opposite side of the axis 16.
  • Figure 5 corresponds to Figure 4 but illustrates the improvement that results when the clearance that can occur at point 24 is reduced.
  • the clearances at points 32 can be constrained to normal running clearances thereby providing effective sealing between the rotors and avoiding loss of pump efficiency.
  • the improvement provided by the present invention also leads to smoother running of the outer rotor since its freedom to float radially is constrained to a greater extent in each position of full mesh.
  • the improved sealing obtained with pumps in accordance with the invention is particularly noticeable with inner rotors having an even number of lobes and while the effect is not as significant, in terms of volumetric efficiency, for odd lobed inner rotors, the fact that the outer rotor is constrained to a greater extent by the inner rotor results in improved pump operation.
