Definitions

  • the invention relates to twin screw rotors for installation in positive displacement machines for compressible media, especially pumps, which Rotors catchy executed with varying pitch and intended are, in paraxial, opposite external engagement with wrap angles of at least 720 ° and in an enclosure an axial chamber sequence to form without blast hole connections, wherein the end profile of a Kern Vietnamesebogen, a cycloid-shaped hollow flank, an outer circle arc and another flank (see WO 97/21926).
  • the patent DE 87685 shows a fferenganganlwerk designated machine in which the screw rotors with variable pitch are formed.
  • the machine is both a motor and a pump usable.
  • the patent application EP 0697523 relates to a screw displacement machine, in which the intermeshing rotors unequal, as "male” and “female” designated screw profiles, so-called S.R.M. profiles with continuous slope change.
  • the forehead profile is varied so that the tooth head angle or the length of the outer circle arc a monotonically growing function in dependence from the wrap angle.
  • Such profiles have the disadvantage that a good foreclosure of the axial sequence of working cells because of the remaining Blasloches is not possible.
  • the vacuum losses caused by the blow hole have efficiency losses result, so with such a Machine at least at low and medium speeds no good inner Compaction is possible.
  • the published patent application DE 19530662 discloses a screw suction pump with externally meshing screw elements, at the slope the screw members continuously from their inlet end to their outlet end decreases to cause the compression of the gas to be dispensed.
  • the shape of the teeth of the screw rotor exhibits an epitrochoidal and / or Archimedean curve.
  • This machine has the disadvantage that the achievable internal compression rate in the geometric relationships shown moderate.
  • the missing forehead profile variation fixes that anyway not good compression ratio and leads because of the reduction in depth the gap between the screw outer diameter and the housing for Screw end towards an increased leak rate.
  • the laid-open specification DE 4445958 describes a screw compressor with counter-rotating, external-meshing screw elements.
  • the thread helices of the screw elements are from an axial End to the second axial end away from it continuously smaller.
  • Profile is proposed a rectangular or trapezoidal profile.
  • a disadvantage of such Profile geometries is that they only work lossless enough, when the flight depth in relation to the diameter is small, as stated in the above Publication is executed. Such a machine thus has a big one Construction volume and a big weight. It is another disadvantage of such Profile geometries that require extremely high pitch changes are when a satisfactory internal compression rate is to be achieved. How in the mentioned DE 19530662 also fixed here the missing Stirnprofilvariation this shortcoming and this leads to an increased leakage rate due to reduction the depth of the gap between screw outside diameter and housing towards the end of the screw.
  • the invention is the Task to propose twin screw rotors, which the above have not mentioned disadvantages.
  • the slope is not monotonous and as a dependent variable of the wrap angle is defined that the slope in a first portion of the suction end of the screw increases and after about one wrap reaches a maximum value that the slope in one to the first subarea subsequent second portion decreases and about one wrap reaches a minimum value before the pressure end of the screw and that the Gradient in a subsequent to the second portion third portion is substantially constant.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a pair of screw rotors 1 and 2 which stand together in an axially parallel external engagement.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show each of the rotors 1 and 2 according to FIG. 1 separately. It can be clearly seen in these figures that the outer shell and the core are cylindrical and thus the flight depth is constant over the screw length.
  • the mass ⁇ w 1 and ⁇ w 3 show that the pitch of the screw varies along the axis, but that the height h of the helical outer cylindrical rotor surface remains constant, whereby leakage losses between rotor and housing inner wall against the pressure side, as at Some of the above-mentioned machines according to the prior art occur in an undesirable manner, be avoided.
  • the reference numeral 7 designates the reference spiral in this figure, which will be discussed in more detail later, and 8 is the second limiting spiral of the outer cylindrical rotor surface.
  • FIG. 4 shows a rotor in a section at right angles to the rotor axis.
  • the resulting end profile has a Kem Vietnamesebogen 3 with a constant over the entire screw length radius Rb, which - in a clockwise direction - after a sector angle ⁇ in a cycloid-shaped hollow flank 4 passes.
  • the geometry of the hollow flank 4 is unchanged over the entire screw length.
  • At the hollow flank 4 closes at point B at an acute angle an outer circle arc 5 with a constant over the entire screw length radius Ra, which passes to a sector angle ⁇ at point C in a further edge 6.
  • the variation of the front profile contour along the screw axis is based on a change in the sector angle ⁇ and on a change in the geometry of the further flank 6.
  • the variation of the sector angle ⁇ along the screw axis is preferably at least spatially approximately equidistant course of a reference spiral formed by the outermost points of the hollow flank B ⁇ (7 in FIG. 3) and the second limiting spiral (points C) (8 in FIG. 3) of the outer cylindrical rotor surface.
  • FIG. 5 shows in a diagram the development w of the reference spiral mentioned in connection with FIG. 4 as a function of the wrap angle ⁇ .
  • a straight line g and corresponding sections P 0 , 2P 0, etc. of the development of a spiral with a constant pitch are shown.
  • the course of the slope is more clearly recognizable when the first derivative shown in Figure 6 the settlement w considered.
  • w 'increases and, at ⁇ 2 ⁇ , reaches the maximum value (1 + A) * L 0 / 2 ⁇ , where A is the amplitude moderator.
  • FIG. 7 shows the chamber cross-section F as a function of the wrap angle ⁇ , wherein the curve F o shown by a solid line shows the chamber cross-section without profile variation and the dashed curve F m shows the chamber cross-section with profile variation.
  • Figure 8a the cross section is shown of the invention for receiving twin screw rotors certain housing
  • Figure 8b shows one of the representation of Figure 4 corresponding section through the rotors
  • in figure 8c the chamber cross-section F o is shown hatched.
  • FIGS. 9a to 9p the development of the working chamber cross section is shown in end sections represented as a function of the wrap angle. The latter is indicated in the figures in degrees.
