Abstract
A rotary machine (1) for fluid comprising a working chamber (2) enclosed between two bodies (3, 4) disposed eccentrically with respect to one another and including at least one intake aperture (37) and outlet aperture (38) in communication with this chamber (2).
The principle characteristic of this machine lies in the fact that these two bodies (3, 4) are both rotatable with respect to a fixed structure (10) including these apertures (37, 38), and in that these two bodies (3, 4) are joined together by means of at least one associated connection and sealing element (24) defining at least two variable volume chambers (28) such that a rotation imparted to one of the two bodies (4) is transmitted to the other (2).
Description
- The present invention relates to a rotary eccentric machine for fluids (particularly air) which can be used as a vacuum pump or a compressor, or as a motor driven by fluid under pressure and developing mechanical force usable at an output shaft, and of the type including a working chamber enclosed between two bodies which are disposed eccentrically with respect to one another and having 'an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture in communication with this working chamber.
- Rotary machines for fluid, of this type, have an outer fixed body and an inner body rotating eccentrically. Generally radially disposed blades slidable in suitable grooves formed either in the fixed outer body or in the rotatable inner body define variable volume chambers in the passage from the inlet aperture to the outlet aperture. In either case the blades have to slide in such grooves and to rub on the rotatable or fixed body pressed either by springs or by centrifugal force. This sliding, which causes a considerable purely mechanical loss, also results in wear of the elements of the machine after a time, and principally limits its speed of revolution and therefore its capacity.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a rotatable eccentric machine for fluids which overcomes the above indicated disadvantages, has a relatively simple and therefore economic structure but at the same time is reliable and of high performance and guarantees optimum operation.
- According to the present invention there is provided a rotary machine for fluids, comprising a working chamber enclosed between two bodies disposed eccentrically with respect to one another and including at least an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture in communication with the said chamber, characterised by the fact that the said two bodies are both rotatable with respect to a fixed structure including the said apertures, and by the fact that the said two bodies are connected together by means of at least one associated connection and sealing element defining at least two variable volume chambers, such that a rotation imparted to one of the said two bodies is transmitted to the other.
- For a better understanding of the present invention there will now be described, purely by way of non limitative example, several particular embodiments thereof with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is a side view, sectioned on the line I-I of Figure 2, of a first embodiment of the rotary machine formed according to the principles of the present invention;
- Figure 2 is a sectioned view taken on the line II-II of the machine of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a sectioned side view of a different embodiment of the machine of the present invention;
- Figures from 4 to 8 are sectioned schematic side views of further variations of embodiments of the machine of the present invention; and
- Figure 9 is a sectioned view taken on the line IX-IX of the machine of Figure 6.
- With reference to Figures 1 and 2, the rotary machine for fluids, of the present invention, indicated with the
reference numeral 1, comprises a workingchamber 2 which is enclosed between tworotating bodies body 4 has a hollow cylindrical form, and at one end has alateral closure wall 6 from which extends ashaft 7 which is supported byball bearings 8 from an end portion of afixed support structure 10 which widens in correspondence with the cylindrical portion of thebody 4 so as to contain it externally with a correspondingannular portion 11. At the outer end of theportion 9 there is positioned aclosure plug 12, which carries anannular lip seal 13 which forms a seal on asection 14 of theshaft 7 which projects from theportion 9; anotherannular lip seal 15, also forming a seal on theshaft 7, is positioned at the inner end of theportion 9. On a threadedsection 16 of theshaft 7 there is screwed aring nut 17 which locks the twoball bearings 8 with the interposition of aspacer sleeve 18. Apulley 22 fixed for rotation with theshaft 7 is locked onto anouter portion 20 of theshaft 7 by means of anut 21. - Equally spaced around the circumference of the outer rotating
body 4 are fixed the ends of fourleaf elements 24 which, at the other end, are fixed, also equally spaced around the circumference, to the inner rotatingbody 3. In particular, theseelements 24 are made of rubber vulcanised ontosheet metal leaves 25 the ends of which are folded in such a way as to create an associated enlargedhead portion 26 which is inserted into an associated groove formed on the outer surface of thebody 3 and on the inner surface of thebody 4 parallel to their axes and of length equal to the axial length of thechamber 2. Theseleaf elements 24, which have a joining and sealing function, therefore divide theworking chamber 2 into fourvariable volume chambers 28. - The inner rotating
body 3 has a hollow cylindrical form with alateral closure wall 30 facing thewall 6 and turns, by means of twoball bearings 31, on ashaft 32 which is offset with respect to the axis of theshaft 7. Within thebody 3 there is positioned anannular lip seal 33 which forms a seal on theshaft 32, which latter is rigidly connected to acover portion 34 which has anend wall 50 which closes the other end of therotating bodies annular portion 11 of thefixed support structure 10. In thiscover portion 34 there are formed, respectively, anintake duct 35 and adelivery duct 36 which have respective apertures, namely aninduction aperture 37 and adelivery aperture 38 in thewall 50, which communicate with theworking chamber 2. - The fluid seal for the
variable volume chambers 28 defined by theleaf elements 24 is obtained at the joined ends of theelements 24 by means of the continuous seal defined by thehead portions 26 anchored in the associated grooves of therotating bodies end walls 6 and 5 are concerned (with respect to which there is a relative rotation) there is a very small axial play (conveniently of the same order of magnitude as that of the axial play of thebearings 31 and 8). Conveniently theseleaf elements 24 can be made of ablating material so as to obtain, during operation, a dimensional self adjustment of their end surfaces for sealing on thewalls - Again for the purpose of improving the fluid tight seal, one or all of the facing surfaces of the
bodies body 3, whilst in the detail indicated B there can be seenribs 53 formed on the surface of the rotatingbody 3 which faces the smooth surface of thewall 6 of therotating body 4. Conveniently, only the surface of thewall 6 or both surfaces could be provided with such ribs. Thus the surface of the rotatingbody 4 facing the fixedend wall 50 of thecover 34 can also be provided with such ribs. - The
machine 1 illustrated in Figure 3 differs from that of Figure 1 by the omission of thepulley 22 and theend portion 20 of theshaft 7, and by the presence of an electric stator winding 39 housed in theannular portion 11 oi thesupport structure 10, and a rotor winding 40 housed in theouter body 4. The supply to thestator winding 39 is provided via acontact block 41. - Moreover the
shaft 32, rather than being fixed to thecover portion 34, is fixed to aportion 43 having aknob 44, which can slide rectilinearly within aspace 45 defined by thecover 34, between displacement guides belonging to thecover 34 itself. Thiscover 34 further hasportions 46 which carriesscrews 47 for fixing theportion 43 in the desired position with respect to thecover portion 34. - The operation of the rotary machine of the present invention described above is as follows.
- With reference to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, by exercising an action of mechanical rotation on the
pulley 22 theshaft 7 is made to rotate and therefore theouter body 4 is rotated ( in a clockwise sense in the case illustrated in Figure 2) which, via theelements 24, drives theinner body 3 to rotate, which turns on theshaft 32 in an eccentric manner with respect to theouter body 4. Theleaf elements 24, in their movement along the workingchamber 2, vary in configuration and curvature in such a way as to definevariable volume chambers 28 which expand in advance of theinduction aperture 37 and compress as they move towards thedelivery aperture 38 so as to draw fluid from theinduction duct 35 and send it to the delivery duct 36 (in this way themachine 1 can function as a vacuum pump or as a compressor). - The
machine 1 can also function as a motor if compressed air is supplied to theduct 36, which therefore expands in the workingchamber 2 and flows out from theduct 35; in fact compressed air acts on theleaf elements 24 which thus drive thebodies shaft 7. - In the embodiment of Figure 2, the rotation at the
outer body 4, instead of being provided in a mechanical manner by thepulley 22, is obtained by electric action via the stator winding 39, for which the rotor winding 40 constitutes the rotor of an electric motor. - Still with reference to Figure 3, the position of the
portion 43, and therefore the eccentricity of the inner rotating body with respect to the outer rotatingbody 4 can be modified and regulated via thescrews 47 by varying the distance of the axis of theshaft 32 with respect to that of theshaft 7 such that the capacity of themachine 1 can be regulated. - The embodiment of the
machine 1 schematically illus- strated in Figure 4 differs from that of Figure 1 by the fact that theshaft 7 is a through shaft and is supported, as well as by thebearings 8, also bybearings 48 housed in thecover 34, still being fixed for rotation with the outer rotating body 4 (via a key 49) such that the region of connection for the external mechanical force (motor or load) can be obtained, as is more convenient, from the fixed side of thestructure 10 or from the side of thecover 34. - The embodiment of Figure 5 differs in the fact that the external mechanical force (drive or load) is applied to a shaft 32' which is rigidly connected to the inner rotating
body 3, and projects externally from the cover side J4, being supported by bearings 31' housed in thiscover 34. The outer rotatingbody 4 no longer has theshaft 7, but is supported bybearings 8 which are disposed on a fixedspindle 60 belonging to ; thestructure 10. - The embodiment of Figures 6 and 9 differs from that of Figure 1 by the fact that the intake duct 35' and the output duct 36' are formed in the
portion 11 of thesupport structure 10 and in a radial and counterposed direction. The induction aperture 37' and delivery aperture 38' therefore open opposite the lateral surface of the outer rotatingbody 4 which has wide throughslots 60 which form an outlet in a radial sense for thevariable volume chambers 28. Thefixed part 50 facing therotating bodies outlet apertures chambers 28 in the radial direction is now obtained by means of a convenient play ( of several hundredths of a millimetre) between the outer surface of the rotatingbody 4 and the inner surface of theportion 11 of the fixed structure 10 (conveniently of the order of the radial play of the bearing 8); for the purpose of improving this seal such facing surfaces can be ribbed (both or only one) so as to form a seal of the labyrinth type. As is visible in Figure 9, in the detail indicated C,ribs 70 can be seen formed on the outer surface of the rotatingbody 4 which faces the smooth surface of the inner wall of the fixedportion 11; conveniently, the inner surfaces only of theportion 11 , or both surfaces, may be ribbed. - The embodiment of Figure 7 differs from that of Figure 6 by the fact that the radial intake duct 35' and outlet duct 36' no longer open radially out from the
support structure 10, but are bent in a direction parallel to the axis of theshaft 7 and open into anaxial inlet duct 35 and anoutlet duct 36 formed in thecover 34. - Finally, the embodiment of Figure 8 differs from that of Figure 6 by the fact that the shaft 7' is a through shaft, and is supported as well as by the
bearings 8 also by bearings 48' housed in the cover 34' which now has a structure similar to that of thesupport 10. Moreover the shaft 7' is no longer angularly fixed to the outer rotatingbody 4 but is fixed for rotation with and supports the inner rotatingbody 3. The outer rotating body 4 (eccentric with respect to the axis of the shaft 7') is supported by twobearings 80 housed in thesupport 10 and in the cover 34'. - The machines i of Figures 6,7 and 8, with radial apertures 37' and 38' allow a higher compression ratio between the fluid taken in and the exiting fluid to be obtained.
- The advantages obtained with the
machine 1 of the present invention are apparent from what has been described; in particular there is no longer any wear on the elements which define the variable volume chambers, thus permitting greater speeds and higher capacities. - Finally, it is clear that the embodiments of the present invention described can be modified and varied without
- .departing from the scope of the invention itself. For example the
leaf elements 24 which have the fundamental characteristics of being flexible can be of the type able to transmit only tractional forces or only flexion- . al forces, or combined forces; for example they may simply comprise metal strips, or else they may comprise a leaft (for example in linen-faced or rubberised fabric) reinforced by metal wires; or can be made of plastics material. Thus also,such leaf elements 24 can be joined at their ends to thebodies - The configuration with the
portion 43 for adjusting the eccentricity of thebody 3 with respect to thebody 4 can also be applied to the other embodiments described, and can also be formed in a different way, and further, the regulation of the eccentricity can be effected with an automatic control system rather than a manual one.
