Description
FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to a crescent gear set having dual cycloidal tooth profiles; and in particular relates to a crescent pump gear having inner and outer gears with dual cycloidal tooth profiles.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Crescent pump gear systems consists of an inner gear and an outer gear located at an offset. The gear set operates in a sealed housing with the inner gear driving the outer gear in mesh at the top dead band. The bottom dead band is sealed using a crescent shaped section of housing between the major diameter of the inner gear and the minor diameter of the outer gear.
Crescent pump gear systems are typically used in pumps with high pressure applications since the sealing capability of the gears against the crescent is enhanced due to the number of teeth on both the inner and outer gears that seal across the crescent of the pump at any particular point in time.
Conventional crescent pumps usually have heretofore utilized involute gear forms. However due to the mathematical generated of involute curves the gear teeth on a crescent system utilizing involute gear forms will be small and require a large offset in _ - 2 order to function properly. This greatly reduces the displacement of the pump for a given pump size.
In the construction of gear pumps having a high output, significant value is placed on ~ltili7ing fewer number of teeth since fewer number of teeth will result in low tooth mesh or engagement frequency and consequently a low frequency noise is observed during operation.
Furthermore a small number of teeth is further desirable since it will result 10 in larger tooth gaps and hence bring about a larger discharge or delivery volume and therefore increase the pumping characteristics of a given pump.
Various tooth profiles have heretofore been proposed.
For example United States Patent Number 1,516,591 teaches that the addendum sections of an inner gear are formed on epi cycloidal curves while the dedendum sections are formed on hypo cycloidal curves. However this patent teaches that the generation of the epi cycloidal and hypo cycloidal curves of the gear teeth are the same in diameter.
Moreover United States Patent Number 3,907,470 illustrates that the outermost flanks of two adjacent teeth on an annual gear wheel are defined by a circular arc or an arc of a curve equidistant from a hypo cycloid.

Another device is disclosed in United States Patent Number 4,518,332 which teaches an oil pump using internal gearing wherein the difference in the number of teeth between the internal and external gears is one and wherein the inner rotor is 10 directly connected to the crank shaft of the internal combustion engine or to the tr~n~mi~ion shaft.
Finally United States Patent Number 4,657,492 teaches a rotor for a rotary pump.

DESCRIPIION OF THE INVENTION
Like parts have been given like numbers throughout the figures.
Figure 1 illustrates the top plan view of a prior art involute crescent gear set. In particular Figure 1 illustrates the outer gear or rotor 2 having internal teeth 4.
An inner gear or rotor 6 is concentrically journaled for rotation about a shaft 8. The inner gear 6 includes exterior teeth 10. The teeth 4 and 10 have involute gear profiles.
A crescent shaped piece of metal 12 is inserted between the gears 4 and 8 at the lower 10 dead band location. The gears 4 and 6 are located within a housing chamber (not shown) which housing has an intake port (not shown) and a discharge port (not shown).
The resulting pump seals across the drive surface on the involute at the top dead band 12 as well as between the ends of the internal and external gear teeth 4 and 6 and the crescent 12.
Involute crescents generally have a large number of teeth relative to other types of pumps. Furthermore involute crescent gear pumps require a large offset in order to function properly which greatly reduces the displacement of the pump for a given pump size.
Figure 2 illustrates the crescent gear set 20 of the invention to be described herein which comprises of an internally toothed ~nmll~r gear 22 journaled for rotation about a second axis 24 and an externally toothed ~nmll~r gear 26 rotatably engageable with the internally toothed ~nn~ r gear 22 about a first axis 28. The interior gear 26 is also journaled for rotation about a shaft 30 as best illustrated in Figures 2 and 5.
In the arrangement illustrated in Figure 2, the inner and outer gears 26 and 22 are adapted to be placed within a housing (not shown) which housing includes a chamber to receive said crescent gear set 20. Furthermore, the housing includes an intake port (not shown) and a discharge port (not shown?. As the shaft 30 rotates, it drives the inner gear 26 so as to rotate the outer gear 22.
The inner gear 26 includes teeth 34 presenting dual cycloidal profiles.
Furthermore, the outer gear 22 includes teeth 36 having a dual cycloidal profile. The crescent 32 seals across the teeth 34 and 36 along the bottom dead band.
As the outer gear 22 rotates, the fluid, such as oil or the like, is drawn from the intake port (not shown) and fills the space between the teeth 34 and 36 until such teeth contact the crescent 32. Upon further rotation of the inner and outer gears 26 and 22, the fluid between the teeth after the crescent 32 becomes compressed and then discharged out of the discharge port (not shown).
The outer gear 22 includes a pitch circle or outer or second generating circle 38 and the inner gear 26 includes an inner pitch circle or first generating circle 40.
The outer pitch circle 38 is concentric about second axis 24 and the inner pitch circle 38 is centred about first axis 28.
The inner and outer pitch circles 40 and 38 are tangent at the top dead band 42 as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 3 shows the exterior tooth 34 of inner gear 26 meshing with interior tooth 36 of outer gear 22 at point 44. The b~c~ ch 46 is illustrated in Figure 3 and comprises of the space between the teeth 34 and 36. Furthermore, the inner crescent radius with clearance is illustrated at 48 and the outer crescent radius with clearance is illustrated at 50 as best shown in Figure 3.
The inner crescent radius with clearance 48 and outer crescent radius with clearance 50 is also shown in Figure 4.
The generation of the dual cycloidal outer gear 22 shall now be described in relation to Figure 7. The dual cycloidal outer gear 22 is generated using a pair of a epi and hypo cycloid sets rolling around a single generating circle (ie. second generating circle) or pitch circle of the outer gear 38. The sum of the radii R1 and R2 equals the offset of the inner and outer gears 26 and 22. In particular the offset is defined by the distance between the second axis 24 and the first axis 28 as shown in Figure 2. The radius of the pitch circle 38 of outer gear 22 equals half the number of teeth 36 on the 20 outer gear 22 multiplied by the offset. The radius R1 of the epi cycloid will be between 20% to 25%
of the offset and the radius R2 f the hypo cycloid will be between 75% to 80% of the offset.
The tooth 36 of the outer gear 22 is generated as follows:
(a) The epi cycloid 52 of a first cycloid set is rolled in a clockwise direction 54 about the generating circle 38 starting at the vertical axis for a full 180 of roll.
(b) The hypo cycloid 56 of the first cycloidal set is rolled in a counter-clockwise direction 58 around the generating or pitch circle 38 starting at the vertical axis until the generated curve intersects the radius of the outer crescent 50.
(c) The epi cycloid of a second cycloidal set is rolled in a counter-clockwise direction about the generating circle 38 starting at an angle from the vertical axis equal to 360 divided by the number of teeth of the outer gear 22 minus two times the angle resulting from the length of roll of the first epi cycloid 52 roll for a complete 180 of roll.
(d) The hypo cycloid of the second cycloidal set is rolled in a clockwise direction around the generating circle 38 starting at an angle from the vertical axis equal to 360 divided by the number of teeth on the inner i 2028064 gear minus two times the angle resulting from the roll of the first epi cycloid roll, until the generated curve intersects the radius of the outer crescent arch 50.
(e) The resulting gear profiles are connected with an arch slightly offset from the outer crescent arch 50 in order to provide running clearance.
(f) The resulting tooth form 36 can be ~ lored and rotated about the centre of the generating circle 38 to create a complete outer gear.
The generation of the dual cycloidal inner gear shall now be described in relation to Figure 6. The dual cycloidal inner gear 26 is generated using a pair of epi and hypo cycloid sets rolling around a single generating circle 40. The sum of the radii of the cycloid set R3 and R4 equals the offset of the inner and outer gear 26 and 22. The radius of the generating circle 40 equals half the number of teeth 34 on the inner gear 26 multiplied by this offset. The radius of the epi cycloid R3 will be between 20% to 25% of the offset, and the radius of the hypo cycloid will be between 75% to 80% of the offset.
A tooth 34 of the inner gear 26 is generated as follows:
(a) The epi cycloid 60 of the first cycloid set is rolled in a clockwise direction 62 until the generated cu~ve intersects the inner crescent radius 48.
(b) The hypo cycloid 64 of the first cycloid set is rolled in a counter-clockwise direction 66 around the generating circle 40 starting at the vertical axis until the generated curve is slightly smaller in length than the hypo cycloid curve generated on the outer gear 22.
(c) The epi cycloid of the second cycloid set is rolled in a counter-clockwise direction about the pitch circle 40 starting at an angle from the vertical axis equal to 360 divided by the number of teeth on the inner gear minus two times the angle resulting from a full 180 theoretical roll of the first epi cycloid 60 until the generated curve intersects the inner crescent radius 48.
(d) The hypo cycloid of the second cycloid set is rolled in a clockwise direction around the generating circle 40 starting at an angle from the vertical axis equal to 360 divided by the number of teeth on the inner gear 26 minus two times the angle resulting from the full 180 theoretical roll of the first epi cycloid 60 until the generated curve is slightly smaller in length than the hypo cycloid curve generated on the outer gear 22 and is equal in length to the hypo cycloid curve generated by the first cycloid set.
(e) The resulting gear profiles are connected with an arch offset slightly from the connecting arch on the outer gear set to provide a running clearance.
(f) The resulting gear form is rotated an copied about the centre of the generating circle at angle increments equal to 360 divided by the number of teeth on the inner gear 26.
(g) The gaps left between the truncated epi cycloids are connected with an arch slightly smaller than the inner crescent arch in order to provide running clearance.
The resulting gear set 22 and 26 will have two more teeth on the outer gear 22 than the inner gear 26 and will operate as a crescent gear pump.
Figure 9 illustrates the top dead band seal point 80 at the rotor drive.
Furthermore, Figure 9 also illustrates the intake and exhaust dwell 82 which in the configuration shown in Figure 9 dwell of 141.78. Furthermore, an intake separation 84 is shown as well as the bottom seal across the tooth and crescent 86. The bottom dead band 88 as shown in Figure 9 co~ ises of 60.
Figure 8 illustrates the pitch radius 90 of inner rotor 26 and the pitch radius 92 of the outer rotor 22. Furthermore, line 94 shows the continuation of the lower tooth profile generated in the manner as described above.
This invention relates to a crescent gear set having dual cycloidal tooth profiles; and in particular relates to a crescent pump gear having inner and outer gears with dual cycloidal tooth profiles.

The generation of the dual cycloidal outer gear 22 shall now be described in relation to Figure 7. The dual cycloidal outer gear 22 is generated using a pair of a epi and hypo cycloid sets rolling around a single generating circle (ie. second generating circle) or pitch circle of the outer gear 38. The sum of the radii R1 and R2 equals the offset of the inner and outer gears 26 and 22. In particular the offset is defined by the distance between the second axis 24 and the first axis 28 as shown in Figure 2. The radius of the pitch circle 38 of outer gear 22 equals half the number of teeth 36 on the 20 outer gear 22 multiplied by the offset. The radius R1 of the epi cycloid will be between 20% to 25%
of the offset and the radius R2 f the hypo cycloid will be between 75% to 80% of the offset.
The tooth 36 of the outer gear 22 is generated as follows:
(a) The epi cycloid 52 of a first cycloid set is rolled in a clockwise direction 54 about the generating circle 38 starting at the vertical axis for a full 180 of roll.
(b) The hypo cycloid 56 of the first cycloidal set is rolled in a counter-clockwise direction 58 around the generating or pitch circle 38 starting at the vertical axis until the generated curve intersects the radius of the outer crescent 50.
(c) The epi cycloid of a second cycloidal set is rolled in a counter-clockwise direction about the generating circle 38 starting at an angle from the vertical axis equal to 360 divided by the number of teeth of the outer gear 22 minus two times the angle resulting from the length of roll of the first epi cycloid 52 roll for a complete 180 of roll.
(d) The hypo cycloid of the second cycloidal set is rolled in a clockwise direction around the generating circle 38 starting at an angle from the vertical axis equal to 360 divided by the number of teeth on the inner i 2028064 gear minus two times the angle resulting from the roll of the first epi cycloid roll, until the generated curve intersects the radius of the outer crescent arch 50.
(e) The resulting gear profiles are connected with an arch slightly offset from the outer crescent arch 50 in order to provide running clearance.
(f) The resulting tooth form 36 can be ~ lored and rotated about the centre of the generating circle 38 to create a complete outer gear.
The generation of the dual cycloidal inner gear shall now be described in relation to Figure 6. The dual cycloidal inner gear 26 is generated using a pair of epi and hypo cycloid sets rolling around a single generating circle 40. The sum of the radii of the cycloid set R3 and R4 equals the offset of the inner and outer gear 26 and 22. The radius of the generating circle 40 equals half the number of teeth 34 on the inner gear 26 multiplied by this offset. The radius of the epi cycloid R3 will be between 20% to 25% of the offset, and the radius of the hypo cycloid will be between 75% to 80% of the offset.
A tooth 34 of the inner gear 26 is generated as follows:
(a) The epi cycloid 60 of the first cycloid set is rolled in a clockwise direction 62 until the generated cu~ve intersects the inner crescent radius 48.
(b) The hypo cycloid 64 of the first cycloid set is rolled in a counter-clockwise direction 66 around the generating circle 40 starting at the vertical axis until the generated curve is slightly smaller in length than the hypo cycloid curve generated on the outer gear 22.
(c) The epi cycloid of the second cycloid set is rolled in a counter-clockwise direction about the pitch circle 40 starting at an angle from the vertical axis equal to 360 divided by the number of teeth on the inner gear minus two times the angle resulting from a full 180 theoretical roll of the first epi cycloid 60 until the generated curve intersects the inner crescent radius 48.
(d) The hypo cycloid of the second cycloid set is rolled in a clockwise direction around the generating circle 40 starting at an angle from the vertical axis equal to 360 divided by the number of teeth on the inner gear 26 minus two times the angle resulting from the full 180 theoretical roll of the first epi cycloid 60 until the generated curve is slightly smaller in length than the hypo cycloid curve generated on the outer gear 22 and is equal in length to the hypo cycloid curve generated by the first cycloid set.
(e) The resulting gear profiles are connected with an arch offset slightly from the connecting arch on the outer gear set to provide a running clearance.
(f) The resulting gear form is rotated an copied about the centre of the generating circle at angle increments equal to 360 divided by the number of teeth on the inner gear 26.
(g) The gaps left between the truncated epi cycloids are connected with an arch slightly smaller than the inner crescent arch in order to provide running clearance.
The resulting gear set 22 and 26 will have two more teeth on the outer gear 22 than the inner gear 26 and will operate as a crescent gear pump.
