Two rotors 101 shown in figure are respectively rotor 101a and rotor 101b.Rotor 101a and 101b and corresponding structure mirror image each other aspect most is except rotor 101a and 101b have phase difference.For duplicate components, the parts of letter " a " the expression rotor 101a side of following in the reference character back, and the corresponding part of letter " b " the expression rotor 101b side of following in the reference character back.Both be not suitable for " a " element with alphabetical reference character and also be suitable for " b " element.

Inlet adapter 120a shown in figure and 120b are not very symmetrical.Inlet adapter 120b can directly be activated, and inlet adapter 120a can activate via inlet adapter 120b.Usually, provide in pairs inlet adapter 120, and the waiting time of the transmission volume 112b that interrelates with rotor 101b can with waiting time of the transmission volume 112a that interrelates with rotor 101a together with change.

Each rotor 101a and 101b can have respectively four blades 109 that are arranged symmetrically with around they corresponding axle 110a and 110b.Each blade 109 can have smooth and end 114 close import 107.The profile of blade 109 can not change on the length direction of rotor 101, gives spiral-shaped bending except giving blade 109.From end 114a observation and from this end, the rotor 101a of example shown in Figure 1 is crooked 160 degree counterclockwise.Each blade 109b of rotor 101b is similarly still crooked with opposite direction.Rotor 101 will be configured to the crooked opposite direction rotation of blade 109 with them.For example as shown in Figure 1, rotor 101a will be configured to rotate in a clockwise direction, and rotor 101b will be configured to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction.When the rotor 101 of curved vane style rotates under normal operation, near leading their opposite end of the blade tip 114 of import 107.

Thereby rotor 101 can be installed on bearing and rotate around its axle 110 in chamber 106.The end 111 of the cylindrical structural 113 receivability rotors 101 in support plate 104.When rotor 101 rotation, their blade 109 can inswept one columniform volume.Sweep volume can be parallel, alignment and overlapping.Two rotors 101 have altogether inswept volume (sweep volume that comprises blade 109) chamber 106 interior narrow/coupling by the square.Thereby this coupling enough narrow chamber 106 that makes can form sealing relationships with blade 109, thereby even but wants enough the shape of wide rotor 101 also can avoid rotor 101 is caused obstruction because of thermal expansion change (this operates pressurized machine is normal).The timing gear (not shown) is coordinated the motion of rotor 101a and 101b, thereby keeps them spaced apart a little but still enough approach and consist of sealing relationship.

At the periphery of chamber 106, form sealing relationship between the end face 118 of housing (102) 102 and blade 109.At an end place of chamber 106, housing (102) 102 and the blade tip relative with support plate 104 form sealing relationship.Inlet adapter 120 forms sealing relationship with blade tip 114.Housing (102) 102 also forms sealing relationship with blade tip 114.In example shown in Figure 1, the elevated areas 135 of support plate 104 be housing (102) 102 form those parts of sealing relationships with blade tip 114.Housing (102) 102 is determined the shape of the import 107 of chamber 106.This shape is changed by inlet adapter 120.Blade tip 114 can be smooth and can be positioned at single plane perpendicular to rotor shaft 110.This orientation can be convenient to and 114 one-tenth sealing relationship ground layout inlet adapter 120 of blade tip and elevated areas 135.

Inlet adapter 120 can comprise the Sealing 139 and the supporting element 140 that is positioned at the outside 137 of support plate 104 in the face of chamber side 136 that is positioned at support plate 104.Support plate 104 can have groove 138 to be used for admittance and supporting sealing member 139.Groove 138 can comprise an edge 142.Edge 142 matches with blower casing (102) 102 can pin the periphery of Sealing 139.The size of Sealing 139 can so design: it coordinates to form sealing relationships with the side 143 of edge 142 and periphery 144 with edge 142.The thickness of Sealing 139 can allow itself and blade tip 114 and groove 138 to form sealing relationship.

Supporting element 140 can be connected to Sealing 139 by post 141.Post 141 can move in the slit 129 in being formed at support plate 104.Slit 129 can be oriented to: all separate (seeing Fig. 4 and Fig. 5) by Sealing 139 and chamber 106 in the whole range of movement of inlet adapter 120.Sealing 139 can be closely against support plate 104 ground cooperations, partly for closure slot 129 in groove 138.Support plate 104 can be equipped with bearing with supporting sealing member 139 and help it to move.

The shape of the leading edge 123a of Sealing 139a can be consistent with the leading edge 124a of blade 109a.Similarly, the shape of the leading edge 123b of Sealing 139b can be consistent with the leading edge 124b of blade 109b.Be appreciated that such shape helps to make the open area of import 107 to maximize.According to the utility model, be appreciated that this is conducive to make inlet-duct area large as far as possible when the import opening time is limited.

Supporting element 140 can maintain Sealing 139 against support plate 104 ground, and therefore can be conducive to keep narrow separating (distance) between Sealing 139 and blade tip 114.It is fully narrow that this separates (distance), makes thus during rotation blade tip 114 and Sealing 139 realize sealing relationship.

Support plate 104 can comprise elevated areas 135 in the face of chamber side 136.Position and the shape of elevated areas 135 so design: just in time on end face 118 arrives during cusp 131 or slightly before the time and blade tip 114 formation sealing relationships.Elevated areas 135 can maintain sealing, until two its expansive phases of previous beginning that transmit in volumes 112 on blade 109 both sides.In this article, rising can be only not recessed.Elevated areas 135 can flush with Sealing 139/and the same high.

Supporting element 140 can be around structure 113 and around structure 113 rotations, and structure 113 is formed in support plate 104 to be used for admitting rotor tip 111.This structure can limiting inlet ABAP Adapter 120 rotation, make the rotation of the axis 110 of its son 101 that rotates.Supporting element 140 can further comprise engaging tooth 122.Engaging tooth 122 can be regulated the motion of

inlet adapter

120a, 120b, makes the rotation of ABAP Adapter 120a can cause that ABAP Adapter 120b equates and opposite rotation.In example shown in Figure 1, ABAP Adapter 120 can rotate freely 30 degree arcs.The rotation of a direction can be by the length restriction of edge 142.Rightabout rotation can be by inlet adapter supporting element 140 interference restriction each other.

Actuator 127 can be installed in the outside 137 of support plate 104.Actuator 127 can have can with tooth 130 meshed gears 128 that are formed on supporting element 120b.Actuator 127 can be between a plurality of positions mobile inlet adapter 120b.Can have 3 diverse locations herein at least so that the wide in range selection to the waiting time to be provided.Actuator 127 also can be configured to mobile inlet adapter 120a.The movement of

inlet adapter

120a and 120b can be synchronous or coupling.For example, the movement of inlet adapter 120 can and be coordinated by engaging tooth 122 couplings.

At blower 100 run durations, air is trapped in and transmits in volume 112.In example shown in Figure 1, begin air that time that the leading edge 124 of the rear blade 109 from limit a pair of blade that transmits volume 112 arrives the trailing edge 123 of inlet adapter 120 and just be trapped in transmission volume 112.At that moment, rear blade 109 enters the sealing relationship with inlet adapter 120.The end face 118 of front vane and rear blade 109 then all with 106 one-tenth sealing relationships of chamber.The dimension definitions that air begins to be trapped in space wherein most goes out to transmit volume 112.

In a period of rotation, air can keep being trapped in transmission volume 112, and this period of rotation is defined as transmitting the sealing time.At last, catch/seal and open/remove.In example shown in the figure, no longer catch/seal when its whole length becomes the position of sealing relationship with chamber 106 and be disengaged when the end face 118 of front vane 109 arrives it.From that angular coordinates and within a time period after this, transmit volume 112 no longer at its all peripheries place all by gauge physically.Yet between these blades, the zone still can be described as the transmission volume during the whole rotation of rotor 101 for convenience's sake.In example shown in Figure 1, have 8 and transmit volume 112.Wherein 4 be adjacent blade to the space between 109a, 4 at adjacent blade to the space between 109b.

Outlet 108 can be roughly triangle.Leg-of-mutton base portion/base 132 can be relative with import 107.Vertex of a triangle 133 can contact cusp 131.Cusp can be defined as the position that the part of following a cylinder shape of chamber 106 contacts with this part of following another cylinder shape of chamber 106.In example shown in Figure 1, there are two cusps: upper cusp 131 and lower cusp 145.Upper cusp 131 can be positioned at the same side with outlet 108.The shape of the side 134 of outlet 108 can be designed as the Curvature Matching with end face 118.The shape of side 134a can be mated with face 118b with the shape of face 118a coupling and side 134b.

During side 134 when the end face 118 of front vane 109 by outlet 108, transmit volume 112 beginnings directly with export 108 and be communicated with.But, transmit volume 112 and can begin before this to be communicated with outlet 108.With being communicated with of outlet 108 can be at the end face 118 of front vane 109 by cusp 131, begin when setting up with the indirect path that exports 108.In example shown in Figure 1, due to the direction that rotor rotates, is at first opening near import 107 places in this path.Indirect path can be by front vane 109 and by one or more transmission volumes 112 more forward in period of rotation.Be called as vent hole with indirect path that outlet 108 is opened before directly being communicated with.In the blower 100 of the type shown in the example in Fig. 1, if bending blade is enough, vent hole can appear.Vent hole can slow down and transmit the interior pressure speed balanced with outlet pressure of volume 112, and this provides and has comprised the advantage that reduces noise and increase blower efficiency.

In the Roots blowers of axial inlet, radially outlet, except the type that is caused by high bending blade, blower can also be provided with other vent hole, comprises the vent hole of the periphery that allows to flow through chamber 106 and the vent hole of being controlled by valve.This vent hole can cause about transmitting the fuzziness of sealing time.In this case, transmit the sealing time according to directly and indirectly opening path and define from import 107 to outlet 108 above-mentioned.These paths have common ground, and that is exactly that they are positioned at chamber 106 inside and complete in the space of dropping within rotor blade 109 sweep range fully.

Along with rotor 101 continues rotation, blade 109 beginnings of a rotor 101 are meshed with the blade 109 on relative rotor 101.The engagement of blade 109 is ordered about air and is gone to outlet 108 from transmitting volume 112.Along with being further rotated, limiting the right front vane 109 of blade that transmits volume 112 and enter with the first blade 109 of relative rotor 101, then be the sealing combination of the second blade 109.Limiting the blade that transmits volume 112 meshes with the blade 109 of relative rotor 101 fully to becoming.For the rotor with curved vane, engagement occurs in next-door neighbour import 107 places at first fully.Mesh regional is then towards outlet 108 migrations fully.Engagement will transmit volume 112 and be divided into two spaces that seal each other by blade.Along with the migration of complete mesh regional from entrance point, transmit in the part of separating of volume space away from that part of import 107 dwindle, that part near import 107 becomes large simultaneously.When separating the space near that of import 107 and begin to become large, transmit volume 112 and can open towards import 107.

The transmission sealing time of the blower 100 in example shown in Figure 1 is the rotating amount of rotor from first to second point, wherein first is the leading edge 123 that the leading edge 124 of the right rear blade of an adjacent blades 109 arrives inlet adapter 120, and second point is that the end face 118 of the right front vane of blade 109 is by closing on the upper cusp 131 of support plate 104.Under the restriction that inlet adapter 120a (it is in primary importance) turns clockwise, transmit the sealing minimal time, be zero in example, the waiting time is maximum, is 30 degree in example.By the operation of actuator 127, inlet adapter 120a can be adjusted to a new position more counterclockwise.The corresponding adjustment of inlet adapter 120b can realize by the engagement of the gear teeth 122.In new position, the waiting time reduces.The motion of inlet adapter 120 has changed the geometrical construction of import 107 and can be reduced to minimum to the waiting time, is zero in this example.The degree that the inlet seal time changes is identical with the waiting time.In the following description, transmitting one of sealing time change equates but opposite degree.

When inlet adapter 120a was rotated counterclockwise, it can vacate recess region 138 parts that are positioned on support plate 104.When front vane 109 is vacated the zone by this, be captured in the air that transmits in volume 112 and can reveal by front vane 109, path through one between blade tip 111 and support plate 104.Leakage can arrive in period of rotation forward and with the outlet 108 transmission volumes that are communicated with.The thickness that depends on Sealing 139, this leakage path can be significant and as vent hole.Such vent hole can be useful, if it is until transmission volume 112 no longer is communicated with just open with import 107.Inlet adapter 120 can be crossed over the distance between adjacent blades 109, transmits volume for a moment thereby make inlet adapter 120 to seal at least/to seal in suction side during each rotor.Can show, this geometrical construction guaranteed at any given time, at least one rotor blade 109 be in sealing relationship with Sealing 129 and therefore prevent such a vent hole transmit volume 112 no longer with formation before import 107 is communicated with.

Actuator 127 can be implemented by a plurality of suitable mechanism.The suitable mechanism that is used for actuator 127 can comprise mechanism hydraulic pressure, machinery and electronics.The example of electronically actuated mechanism can comprise solenoid and motor.Motor can rotate the axle of an actuation gear 128.Solenoid can pass through rack-and-pinion transmitting gear 128.

The example of hydraulic actuating unit can comprise such example: wherein actuator position is determined by spring position and wherein spring tension and fluid pressure balance.Hydraulic coupling is determined by the pressure of the hydraulic fluid in actuation chamber.In this example, spring can sufficiently be offset with balanced hydraulic, and side-play amount can determine the position of inlet adapter 120.Therefore the position of inlet adapter 120 can be determined by the hydraulic fluid pressure of actuation chamber.

Can increase by the operation oil hydraulic pump hydrodynamic pressure of actuation chamber.The fluid that enters actuation chamber is controlled by a valve alternatively, and the situation of pressure is provided for the controlled actuator of a plurality of independences as same oil hydraulic pump.Valve or aperture or both can limit the flow velocity that flows out from actuation chamber.Actuation chamber pressure and therefore the import actuator position can be for example change by the flow velocity that increases rate of pumping and increase the flow velocity that enters actuation chamber or for example reduce to flow out actuation chamber by cut-off valve.

Actuator 127 can be implemented together with various forms of controls.Suitable control type can comprise electronic control, manually control and spontaneous control.Electronic control can be provided by the independent electronic controller that is programmed to control the control unit of engine of actuator 127 or has a suitable instructions in storage.Electronic control unit can receive and the data of controlling relating to parameters.Such control parameter can be blower speed.Engine speed can be often substituting of blower speed and can replace blower speed or offer controller together with supercharger speed when both are independent parameter.Other exemplary control parameter can comprise air-distributor pressure, Engine torque and ambient temperature, and other suitable vehicle control parameters.Can adopt multiple suitable controlling method to come programmable controller.The example of this controlling method can comprise feedforward control algorithm, feedback control algorithm and utilize above-mentioned two kinds of algorithms of controlling type.

Spontaneous control refers to neither automatically controlled also not manual control.An example is exactly the hydraulic system that the speed can drive blower the time responds.For example, oil hydraulic pump can be coupled to the input shaft that can drive rotor.This oil hydraulic pump can increase when the axle rotating speed increases toward the flow velocity of the hydraulic fluid of actuation chamber.Can utilize aperture or valve or both to limit from the outflow of actuation chamber.Flow into and the actuation chamber pressure during rate of outflow balance can depend on blower speed, and can serve as actuator position and therefore inlet adapter 120 positions alternative.

Exemplary spontaneous system can carry out a Basic Control Method.This Basic Control Method comprises according to blower speed or its and substitutes the position that (value) sets inlet adapter.Inlet adapter can be provided in and runs up the lower increase waiting time and reduce the waiting time under low-speed running.

The waiting time is depended on the pressure drop of blower speed and blower 100 both sides on the impact of blower efficiency.The pressure drop meeting is subjected to the impact of blower speed and may be defined as a strain capacity.In the retention period, two relevant processes can occur: (1) fills and leak (2).When retention began, transmission volume 112 was no longer air-breathing due to expansion and opened a period of time towards import 107.However, transmit volume and still be filled when stopping beginning, if particularly blower speed is very high.The increase waiting time can increase loading and therefore also increase each cycle by the air quantity of each transmission volume 112 transportation.

In the retention period, exist by incomplete sealing from exporting 108 to the leakage that transmits volume 112.With compare under high blower speed, under low blower speed, the time that should leakage in each cycle can more grow.From another perspective, than high blower speed, the ratio that is somebody's turn to do between leakage and blower total blast volume under low blower speed is larger.This leakage is enough to cause from exporting 108 to the flowing of import 107, and this has reduced blower efficiency.The minimizing waiting time can reduce this leakage.Therefore leak and allow to exist between the suitable filling time compromise proposal in restriction.Can think that according to the utility model this compromise can be balanced to obtain one along with blower speed and import and export optimum waiting time of change in pressure drop.When requiring the summit blower efficiency, can adopt inlet adapter 120 waiting time to be set to optimum value.

Can be such method according to the controlling method of the utility model instruction, when the high blower efficiency of needs, if low blower speed, inlet adapter 120 is set to such a position---and less in this position waiting time, and if be high blower speed, inlet adapter 120 is set to following position---longer in this position waiting time.In low blower speed, usually need optimum efficiency, unless the race of engine.In high blower speed, only need optimum efficiency when the high moment of torsion of needs.For example, internal-combustion engine can have high torque mode and the low torque mode of wherein high engine speeds operation.In high torque mode, usually need the highest efficiency of turbocharger.In low torque mode, according to whether dally such as engine structure, motor adjustment, motor, whether carrying out these factors such as gear shift may needs the also high blower efficient of needs not.Therefore, even have an inlet adapter 120---its energy optimization blower efficiency and its position in fact only are the function of blower speed, determining inlet adapter 120 to be positioned at when where or whether reconfiguring inlet adapter 120, consider that the factor except blower speed is favourable.

In the one side of the utility model instruction, provide a controller to detect current actuator position and adjust gradually actuator position with close select location.Select location can determine from a mapping (a for example lookup table), and this mapping provides the position relevant with blower speed, perhaps alternatively is for example engine speed and for example air-distributor pressure and moment of torsion of other parameter selectively.Engine speed is for example changing rapidly during shift occurances.The increasing amount adjustment strategy can prevent excessively rapidly or excessively change continually the position of inlet adapter gradually.Can carry out polytype controlling method.It can be for example the method for infinitesimal calculus form.Such method can be chosen as regulating the speed of inlet adapter position the linear combination of the pace of change of integration poor, this difference in one-period between current inlet adapter position and select location and this difference.The method also comprises a wave filter, thereby makes all adjustment to carry out in the discrete step of predetermined amplitude.When if inlet adapter only has limited position or controller only can record limited discrete inlet adapter position the time, such a wave filter may be suitable for.

In Multi-instance, select location is the inlet adapter position of blower efficiency when the highest.The optimum efficiency position depends primarily on blower speed, but also may be subjected to the considerable influence of other factors.These possible factors comprise pressure drop and the intake temperature of blower both sides.Although the pressure drop of blower both sides is the function of blower speed, it also may be subjected to the impact of other factors.If blower is to have to allow blower speed to be independent of the pressurized machine of the driving mechanism of engine speed ground change, engine speed just can affect pressure drop independently.In some cases, the pressurized machine entrance disposes closure.Inlet adapter position when the position of this closure can affect equally pressure drop and therefore affect the efficient maximum.

Can comprise or be configured to have a bypass valve according to the blower 100 of the utility model instruction.Pressurized machine is equipped with bypass valve to avoid parasitic loss usually.A common supercharger bypass valve can utilize vacuum actuator spontaneously to operate, and wherein vacuum actuator can make bypass valve open when engine idle.Actuator is opened bypass valve when the closure load is low, and actuator cuts out bypass valve when the closure load is high.The pressurized machine both sides only have a bit or do not have pressure drop when bypass valve is opened, and this allows pressurized machine forcing under air-breathing unhelpful condition with inappreciable parasitic loss operation.In another example, bypass valve is controlled by solenoid, and it can allow the more Selective Control to bypass valve.If bypass valve is provided, the location of bypass valve position can be used as a parameter selecting the inlet adapter position.

According to the many aspects of the utility model instruction, inlet adapter 120 can have the primary importance of waiting time maximum and the second place of waiting time minimum.The second place can be constructed such that the waiting time is very little, 10 degree or less for example, and 5 degree or less perhaps are roughly zero in theory.This little waiting time when low blower speed of great use.The utility model instruction allows to use these little waiting time, and the performance when not being lost in high blower speed.Even under low-down blower speed, also usually avoiding inlet adapter 120 motion to cross the waiting time is zero position, because this can cause still carrying out transmitting when air-breathing volume and inlet seal (separating) transmitting volume 112.The amount that is transmitted the air of volume 112 transmission by each can be limited like this, and blower 100 opposing inner vacuum ground work can be forced.

Transmit volume 112 and other anyly transmits transmission volume 112 that volume 112 is communicated with and mesh because blade 109 breaks away from when stopping expanding with first when first, the waiting time of the first transmission volume 112 begins.For example shown in Figure 1, this is to limit first to transmit the end face 118 of the right rear blade 109 of the blade of volume 112 by the point of lower cusp 145.Although relatively the blade 109 of rotor 101 will transmit volume 112 from first fully and throw off before this, yet until arrive at this point, first transmits in volume 112 and period of rotation and is in early days and still is communicated with at another transmission volume 112 that expands.

Be appreciated that according to the utility model, except the problem of opposing vacuum acting, it is that zero position neither be effective to attempt further to reduce the import opening time that the waiting time is crossed in blower 100 inlet adapter 120 actuatings in Fig. 1 example.This is because until arrive at retention, other transmission volume 112 connections that transmit volume 112 just and itself is communicated with import 107.Until transmit the termination that is communicated with of volume 112 with other, inlet adapter 120 could effectively seal (isolation) import 107 and transmit volume 112.Only have the end face 118 when rear blade 109 to pass through lower cusp 145, could stop being communicated with of volume 112 with these other transmission, this also indicates the end of expansion time and the beginning of the waiting time.

The primary importance of inlet adapter 120 can be so that the waiting time be large and it is very little to transmit the sealing time, 10 degree or less for example, and 5 degree or less perhaps are roughly zero in theory.Transmission sealing time since the waiting time finishes, continues up to 112 beginnings of transmission volume and is communicated with outlet 108.The large waiting time is useful under high blower speed.The utility model instruction allows to adopt the very large waiting time and is not lost in the performance of hanging down under blower speed.By making the transmission sealing time little (being for example 10 degree or less) help to obtain the large waiting time.For the blower in Fig. 1 example, 10 degree or permission waiting time transmission sealing time still less last till that the end face 118 of the front vane 109 that the blade of restriction transmission volume 112 is right is positioned at the scopes of 10 degree of cusp 131.If the waiting time until end face 118 be positioned at cusp 131 5 the degree scopes just finish, the larger waiting time is provided.In theory, inlet adapter 120 allows the waiting time to extend to that end face 118 arrives at or approach upper cusp 131.This provides in the situation that do not open the longest waiting time of path that is communicated with import 107 and outlet 108.

When inlet adapter 120 was positioned at primary importance, the range of movement of inlet adapter 120 can be corresponding with the waiting time.Be appreciated that from the utility model can change to a large extent the waiting time allows improving blower efficiency in the operational condition scope widely.Allow the scope that the waiting time reduces by half at least just to be considered on a large scale.For the given maximum waiting time, allow the waiting time to be reduced by at least 3/4ths inlet adapter 120 a larger scope is provided.In addition, can understand, the inlet adapter 120 with maximum effective exercise scope allows the waiting time to be reduced to zero or approaching zero.

Above reflect such hope: wish to make the waiting time can be adjustable in large as far as possible range of movement.Large scope is 20 degree or more.Usually, this scope can be at least 30 degree.These scopes reflect such hope, and hope can be increased to the waiting time such degree: it provides obvious efficiency benefit in the blower speed scope.The scope that can realize may be subjected to the restriction of the other side of blower 100 designs.The typical upper limit of utilizing the 120 attainable waiting time of inlet adapter be 60 the degree or still less.Have the blade 109 of high tortuosity for its rotor 101, can learn, it is related can changing between much in bend angle and the waiting time.Large bending angle (it can also help to realize high blower efficiency in addition) for example can be limited in waiting time scope 40 degree or still less.

For fear of leakage, advantageously, being designed and sized to of inlet adapter 120 kept with the sealing engagement of each rotor blade until rear blade 109 is realized the sealing engagement with inlet adapter 120.This requires inlet adapter 120 enough greatly to cross over the spacing between adjacent rotor blades 109.At it towards suction side, each transmit volume 112 need sealing from the bottom surface 119 arc to the arc of end face 118.Inlet adapter 120 can all seal this radial extension or partly seal this radial extension.For example, inlet adapter 120 can seal from radial position R1 (it is positioned at the top of the arc of bottom surface 119) to radial position R2 the scope of (its along by the inswept arc of end face 118).In example shown in Figure 1,119 to position R1 sealing is realized by the elevated areas 135 of support plate 104 from the bottom surface.Inlet adapter 120 can seal the almost whole radial zone that transmits volume 112, and the other import opened areas that generates by mobile inlet adapter 112 is large as far as possible.

Inlet adapter 120 is crossed over the spacing between adjacent blades 109, and this makes and can set up a relation between the inlet adapter size of the lobe numbers of each rotor 101 and requirement.For four leaf rotors 101, span is almost 90 degree.Due to the width of the non-zero of rotor blade 109, the span of the inlet adapter that needs can be smaller a little.For the blower 100 in Fig. 1 example, this will be limited in about about 30 degree the waiting time.If the number of rotor blade 109 is increased to 5, the span that requires will be reduced to 72 degree and the waiting time can be added to about 48 degree.

Inlet adapter 120 can support by such mode, and it forms sealing engagement and do not contact practically blade 109 with blade tip 114.Inlet adapter 120 in Fig. 1 example shows several optional supporting mechanisms.A mechanism comprises the extension of crossing/exceeding end face 118 of inlet adapter 120, thereby makes blower casing (102) 102 can support the periphery of inlet adapter 120.This supporting zone can be used for relatively accurately keeping the minimum separable between inlet adapter 120 and blade tip 114.Another supporting mechanism can be support plate 104, and it can be used for the spacing between limiting inlet ABAP Adapter 120 and blade tip 114.Another supporting structure can be the cylindrical structural 113 that is provided for accommodating rotor tip 111.Support with this structure and can help limiting inlet ABAP Adapter 120 rotatablely moving around rotor shaft 110.

Another supporting structure can be the one or more links with the supporting element 140 (connection) that is positioned at support plate 104 outsides.These one or more links can be formed or mobile other connected element in one or more slits 129 or in other opening of support plate 104 by one or more posts 141.Any this opening can be oriented to: no matter how the inlet adapter position is all hidden by inlet adapter 120.

The part of inlet adapter 120 is positioned at support plate 104 outsides can be in the situation that do not hinder and form with blade tip 114 sealing relationship that requires and allow to realize some function.Such function comprises the motion of controlling inlet adapter 120 and the motion of coordinating a pair of inlet adapter 120.

Blade 109 can have the helical bending.Bending angle can be large, and at first transmission volume 112 is communicated with outlet 107 when the end face 118 of front vane 109 passes through upper cusp 131 thereby make.Bending angle can be enough large, thereby make little increase will cause the end face 118 of front vane 109 before rear blade 109 and the inlet adapter 120 that is positioned at its first (opening most) position form sealing relationship by upper cusp 131.Such increase will make import 107 directly be communicated with outlet 108.Little increase can be 10 the degree or still less.Little increase can also be 5 degree or less.Ideally, bending angle is maximum, and can not increase significantly and do not cause when inlet adapter 120 is positioned at primary importance import 107 periodically with export 108 and directly be communicated with.Can learn, can improve blower efficiency by such mode optimization bending angle.

Many aspects of the utility model instruction all are applicable to wherein, and larger import provides high efficiency and high efficiency any rotary blower is provided under the relative slow-speed of revolution than small inlet under high rotating speed.Example comprises pump and the blower of Roots type, Scrawl, screw type, sliding blade and flexible blade.As the term of using at this, the term blower comprises the pump that is suitable for mobile air-flow.Roots blowers is to have two or more rotors 101, wherein mesh blade 109 and be contained in import 107 and export any rotary blower 100 in 108 chamber 106, and is used for by the discrete transmission volume 112 of adjacent blade 109 and chamber 106 definition is interior, fluid being sent to outlet 108 from import 107.The utility model instruction is particularly suitable for pressurized machine.And by introducing the pressurized machine according to the utility model instruction, power generation system and vehicle can be more efficient.

The utility model instruction can also be used for turbosupercharger, but more may/be suitable for being used to the pressurized machine by the mechanical transmission driving of the bent axle of supercharged engine.Turbosupercharger is by exhaust-driven pressurized machine.Yet when existence provided the mechanical transmission of a fixed drive ratio between pressurized machine and supercharged engine, the utility model instruction was particularly useful.Mechanical transmission can be direct-drive, band transmission, gear transmission or chain transmission.These transmission devices provide a fixed relationship usually between engine speed and supercharger speed.Alternatively, velocity ratio can be subjected to for example control of the device of clutch, speed changer or electric drive device.

Chamber 106 is the spaces that are positioned at housing (102) 102.Chamber 106 is partly defined by housing (102) 102 and inlet adapter 120.Regulation import 107 and outlet 108 are the two-dimensional surface around chamber 106.Import 107 and outlet 108 be chamber 106 not restricted/zone that is not defined.For Roots blowers, chamber 106 be defined as the space that is limited in rotor 101 sweep range and enough near this sweep range to form the additional space of sealing relationships with rotor blade 109.Sealing relationship requires the gap less than 1 millimeter usually, and the space between each rotor 101 is generally less than 300 microns.And the space between rotor 101 and chamber 106 is usually less than 150 microns.Discovery reduces the space can improve performance.For this reason, can be by during manufacture at rotor 101 or other blower parts or apply wear resistant coating on both and realize very little space.Coating thickness is about 100 microns.Coating thickness can be enough thick, thereby beginning to fill up void space fully most.Partial coating will be worn between the blower trial run period.

Provide the space to allow thermal expansion and manufacturing tolerances.Therefore, sealing and sealing relationship and refer to incomplete sealing at those terms that the utility model uses.Therefore the amount of leakage of reasonable limits can not negated the existence/make sealing invalid of sealing.

The applied pressurized machine of the utility model instruction has the motion speed of 1000-20000 rev/min (rpm RPM) usually.Their compression ratio range is generally from 1: 1 to 1: 3.Motion speed and compression ratio are usually restricted to prevent that outlet temperature from surpassing 150 degrees centigrade.The number of the blade 109 of each rotor 101 is generally 4.According to blower efficiency, it is desirable that each rotor 101 has three or more blades 109.The number of the blade 109 of each rotor 101 is increased to 4 from 3 and has improved efficient, but before the utility model instruction, and the number of blade 109 is increased to 5 or manyly can not bring enough advantages.Use inlet adapter 120, blade 109 numbers of each rotor 101 are increased to 5 from 4 has increased the degree that the waiting time can change significantly.Therefore, the utility model instruction is made rotor 101 that to have 5 blades 109 be desirable.The common scope of bending blade is for deducting 20 degree from 60 degree to the maximum blade bending.The maximum blade of Roots blowers crooked (TAmax) is the function of the distance (CD) between lobe numbers (N), the distance from the rotor shaft to the end face (OD) and rotor shaft.

The maximum blade bending only just can obtain when the waiting time both approaches zero with the transmission sealing time.In Roots blowers, bending blade can deduct the maximum waiting time of requirement and minimum transmission sealing Time dependent by the maximum blade bending.The minimum transmission sealing time can be very little.Yet the utility model instruction shows: when inlet adapter 120 is positioned at its primary importance, can realize that the large maximum waiting time expects.The demand that can set this large waiting time has limited bending blade, makes it little when being fixed to a less value when the waiting time.For blower efficiency, under this restriction, bending blade is greatly favourable as far as possible or almost as much as possible.This means that bending blade advantageously drops on the 10 degree scopes that the maximum blade bending deducts the waiting time when inlet adapter 120 is positioned at primary importance.
