Definitions

  • This invention relates to gerotor pumps comprising a male lobed rotor meshed internally of a female lobed annulus.
  • the annulus has more lobes - usually one more than the rotor, and their axes are eccentric.
  • the chambers bounded by the respective lobes open to an inlet, and on the other side of that plane they open to an outlet. Relative rotation causes said chambers to process about the axes and so vary in size thus inducing flow into the chambers on the inlet side and expelling it out on the outlet side.
  • Such pumps are herein called "of the kind referred to”.
  • Drive may be imparted to the pump via the annulus as for example in DE-A-3504306 or via the rotor as for example in FR-A-2527683 which shows the rotor journalled on a stationary shaft (which in that specification is a tube forming part of the fluid flow path) and having projecting dogs which are engaged in a complementary bore of a drive gear which is also journalled on the shaft.
  • the problem with this arrangement is that the pump requires a substantial axial length: firstly there is the unavoidable axial length of the gerotor set which is one of the parameters involved in pump output characteristic, then there is the axial length necessary for the mechanical coupling between the dogs and their complementary formation of the drive gear, and thirdly there is the length required for adequate journalling of the drive gear itself.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a rotor driven gerotor pump requiring less axial space.
  • a pump comprising a male lobed rotor provided on a shaft, rotatable about the shaft axis and meshed with an internally lobed annulus itself rotatable in a pump body on a second and parallel axis, said annulus having more lobes than the rotor, and a gear for driving the rotor, said gear being mechanically coupled to the rotor and journalled on the said shaft, is characterised in that said mechanical coupling between the gear and rotor takes place within the axial dimension of the rotor.
  • the gear and rotor may be journalled on successive portions of the shaft with drive dogs on the parts engaged together within the axial confine of the rotor or the gear may have a hub portion journalled on the shaft and keyed or splined in the bore of the rotor which is thereby indirectly journalled on the shaft.
  • a pump body 10 is provided with one or more inlet passages 12 opening through the side wall (not shown) to the cavity housing the annulus 14 and rotor 16.
  • the outlet passage opens from that cavity. It will be appreciated that both inlet and outlet may open generally radially or tangentially from the cavity or through one or other side wall, or a combination of these according to requirements.
  • Shaft 18 is fast in the body, for example being a press-fit.
  • it is bushed at 20-22 to journal the rotor 16 and the drive gear 24 respectively.
  • a passage system 30-32 shown in dotted line communicates with port 34 to allow lubrication of the bushes.
  • the drive gear (or sprocket 24) is provided with axially extending dogs 28 (see Figure 2) which mesh with like dogs 26 in the rotor 16 so that the gear and rotor are directly dogged together for drive between them.
  • the gear drives the rotor which drives the annulus at a different speed for the usual gerotor pumping action.
  • the arrangement is generally similar except that here the gear 24 has a hub portion 38 extending over the full axial dimension of the rotor 16, so that the rotor may be considered to be indirectly journalled on the shaft.
  • the hub and rotor are keyed or splined together at 46 for direct drive between them.
