Description

La présente invention concerne une pompe à vide comprenant des premier et second cylindres de même diamètre dans lesquels des premier et second pistons respectifs, dont chacun est mû par un excentrique, délimitent des premier et second volumes respectifs, chaque cylindre étant muni d'une entrée dotée d'un clapet anti-retour d'aspiration et d'une sortie dotée d'un clapet anti-retour de refoulement. Une pompe similaire est connue du US 4 679 994.The present invention relates to a vacuum pump comprising first and second cylinders of the same diameter in which respective first and second pistons, each of which is moved by an eccentric, delimit respective first and second volumes, each cylinder being with an inlet with a suction check valve and an outlet with a check valve backflow preventer. A similar pump is known from US 4,679,994.

Les pompes à vide de ce type, qui ont été largement utilisées dans l'industrie avant la généralisation des pompes rotatives, présentent l'avantage de pouvoir constituer des pompes sèches, ne requérant aucune lubrification.Vacuum pumps of this type, which were widely used in industry before the generalization of rotary pumps, have the advantage of being able to constitute pumps dry, requiring no lubrication.

En revanche, ces pompes sont classiquement conçues de façon telle que les pistons travaillent en opposition de phase, c'est-à-dire que la somme instantanée des volumes définis par les pistons dans les cylindres reste à peu près constante.However, these pumps are conventionally designed in such a way that the pistons work in phase opposition, that is to say that the instantaneous sum of the volumes defined by the pistons in the cylinders remains roughly constant.

Or, non seulement ce mode de fonctionnement fait apparaítre des vibrations indésirables, dues aux masses alternatives en mouvement, difficiles à équilibrer, mais il gêne en outre l'utilisation d'excentriques optimisés, qui augmenteraient les difficultés d'équilibrage.However, not only does this mode of operation reveal undesirable vibrations, due to alternating moving masses, difficult to balance, but it also annoys the use of optimized eccentrics, which would increase the difficulties of balancing.

Le brevet US 2579927 décrit un compresseur dont les pistons travaillent en phase. Cependant, un déséquilibre entre les courses des pistons provoque des vibrations indésirables.US patent 2579927 describes a compressor whose pistons work in phase. However, an imbalance between the piston strokes causes undesirable vibrations.

Le brevet japonais JP 58067978 décrit un compresseur à niveau de bruit réduit comportant au moins une paire de pistons montés de manière symétrique par rapport à l'axe principal formé par l'axe d'entraínement des pistons, mais de rendement réduit puisque les mouvements d'aspiration et de refoulement des pistons sont de même durée.Japanese patent JP 58067978 describes a compressor with reduced noise level comprising at least minus a pair of pistons mounted symmetrically with respect to the main axis formed by the piston drive axis, but reduced efficiency since the movements suction and delivery of the pistons are the same duration.

L'invention se situe dans ce contexte et a pour but de proposer une pompe à vide moins génératrice de vibrations que les pompes connues et présentant néanmoins un rendement supérieur.The invention is situated in this context and aims to propose a vacuum pump less generator of vibrations than known pumps and nevertheless having a yield superior.

A cette fin, la pompe à vide de l'invention, par ailleurs conforme au préambule ci-dessus, est essentiellement caractérisée en ce que les cylindres sont alignés l'un avec l'autre et disposés symétriquement par rapport à un axe principal, en ce que les pistons sont simultanément animés de mouvements d'aspiration respectifs, symétriques par rapport à l'axe principal, et pour lesquels les premier et second volumes croissent, et de mouvements de refoulement respectifs, symétriques par rapport à l'axe principal, et pour lesquels les premier et second volumes décroissent, et en ce que les mouvements d'aspiration et de refoulement ont des première et seconde durées respectives dont la première est supérieure à la seconde.To this end, the vacuum pump of the invention, furthermore in accordance with the preamble above, is essentially characterized in that the cylinders are aligned with each other and arranged symmetrically with respect to a main axis, in that the pistons are simultaneously animated by respective suction movements, symmetrical with respect to the main axis, and for which the first and second volumes grow, and repression movements respective, symmetrical with respect to the main axis, and for which the first and second volumes decrease, and in that the suction and discharge movements have first and second respective durations of which the first is greater than the second.

Ces caractéristiques, qui optimisent le processus d'aspiration sans déséquilibrer les charges en mouvement, permettent d'améliorer le rendement de la pompe sans apparition de vibrations gênantes. These characteristics, which optimize the suction process without unbalancing the loads by movement, improve pump efficiency without the appearance of vibrations embarrassing.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, il est possible de prévoir que chaque excentrique soit réalisé sous forme d'un guidage sur une même came animée d'un mouvement de rotation uniforme autour de l'axe principal et acceptant cet axe principal comme axe de symétrie d'ordre pair, que les mouvements d'aspiration des pistons résultent d'une rotation de première amplitude angulaire de la came, que les mouvements de refoulement des pistons résultent d'une rotation de seconde amplitude angulaire de la came, et que la première amplitude angulaire soit supérieure à la seconde amplitude angulaire.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is possible to provide that each eccentric is produced in the form of a guide on the same cam animated by a movement of uniform rotation around the main axis and accepting this main axis as the axis of even order symmetry, that the suction movements of the pistons result from a rotation of first angular amplitude of the cam, as the displacement movements of the pistons result from a rotation of second angular amplitude of the cam, and that the first angular amplitude is greater than the second angular amplitude.

Par exemple, la came peut être conformée en une courbe fermée de symétrie axiale d'ordre 2, présentant une dimension radiale de longueur minimale et une dimension radiale de longueur maximale faisant entre elles des angles différents de 90 degrés.For example, the cam can be shaped into a closed curve of order 2 axial symmetry, having a radial dimension of minimum length and a radial dimension of length maximum making between them angles different from 90 degrees.

Dans ce cas, il est préférable que les angles formés entre les dimensions radiales de longueurs minimale et maximale de la came aient une valeur minimale au moins égale à 70 degrés et une valeur maximale au plus égale à 110 degrés.In this case, it is preferable that the angles formed between the radial dimensions of lengths minimum and maximum of the cam have a minimum value at least equal to 70 degrees and a maximum value at most equal to 110 degrees.

La came peut avoir une forme dérivée d'une ellipse par anamorphose ou au contraire présenter, parallèlement à sa dimension radiale de longueur minimale, une largeur intermédiaire supérieure à la dimension radiale de longueur minimale et inférieure à la dimension radiale de longueur maximale.The cam can have a shape derived from an ellipse by anamorphosis or on the contrary present, parallel to its radial dimension of minimum length, a width intermediate greater than the radial dimension of minimum length and less than the radial dimension of maximum length.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront clairement de la description qui en est faite ci-après, à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la Figure 1 est une vue schématique d'une pompe à vide selon l'invention;
  • la Figure 2 est une vue schématique d'une première came utilisable dans une pompe à vide selon l'invention; et
  • la Figure 3 est une vue schématique d'une seconde came utilisable dans une pompe à vide selon l'invention.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge clearly from the description which is given below, for information and in no way limitative, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view of a vacuum pump according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a schematic view of a first cam usable in a vacuum pump according to the invention; and
  • Figure 3 is a schematic view of a second cam usable in a vacuum pump according to the invention.

La pompe à vide de l'invention comprend, de façon connue, des premier et second cylindres 1 et 2, de même diamètre D, dans lesquels des premier et second pistons respectifs 3 et 4 coulissent de façon étanche.The vacuum pump of the invention comprises, in a known manner, first and second cylinders 1 and 2, of the same diameter D, in which respective first and second pistons 3 and 4 slide tightly.

Chaque cylindre 1, 2 est muni d'une entrée 11, 21 sur laquelle est installé un clapet anti-retour d'aspiration 13, 23 et d'une sortie 12, 22 sur laquelle est installé un clapet anti-retour de refoulement 14, 24.Each cylinder 1, 2 is provided with an inlet 11, 21 on which a non-return valve is installed suction 13, 23 and an outlet 12, 22 on which is installed a non-return valve repression 14, 24.

Les entrées 11, 21 sont reliées à une enceinte 6 que la pompe doit vider de son gaz, et les sorties 12, 22 refoulent par exemple dans l'atmosphère.The inputs 11, 21 are connected to an enclosure 6 which the pump must empty of its gas, and the outputs 12, 22 for example discharge into the atmosphere.

Les premier et second pistons 3, 4 sont mus par des excentriques respectifs 51, 52, et délimitent des premier et second volumes respectifs V1, V2 dans les cylindres 1 et 2. The first and second pistons 3, 4 are driven by respective eccentrics 51, 52, and delimit respective first and second volumes V1, V2 in cylinders 1 and 2.

Selon l'invention, les cylindres 1, 2 sont alignés l'un avec l'autre et sont disposés symétriquement par rapport à un axe principal X, lequel est perpendiculaire au plan des figures.According to the invention, the cylinders 1, 2 are aligned with each other and are arranged symmetrically with respect to a main axis X, which is perpendicular to the plane of the FIGS.

Chacun des pistons 3, 4 est alternativement animé d'un mouvement d'aspiration tel que MA1 et MA2, pour lequel les premier et second volumes V1, V2 croissent, et d'un mouvement de refoulement tel que MR1 et MR2, pour lequel les premier et second volumes V1, V2 décroissent.Each of the pistons 3, 4 is alternately driven by a suction movement such as MA1 and MA2, for which the first and second volumes V1, V2 grow, and with a movement of repression such as MR1 and MR2, for which the first and second volumes V1, V2 decrease.

Cependant, les mouvements d'aspiration respectifs MA1, MA2 des premier et second pistons 3 et 4 se produisent de façon à la fois simultanée pour ces deux pistons 3, 4, et symétrique par rapport à l'axe principal X.However, the respective suction movements MA1, MA2 of the first and second pistons 3 and 4 occur simultaneously for these two pistons 3, 4, and symmetrically by relative to the main axis X.

De même, les mouvements de refoulement respectifs MR1, MR2 des premier et second pistons 3 et 4 se produisent de façon à la fois simultanée pour ces deux pistons 3, 4, et symétrique par rapport à l'axe principal X.Similarly, the respective delivery movements MR1, MR2 of the first and second pistons 3 and 4 occur simultaneously for these two pistons 3, 4, and symmetrical about the main axis X.

En outre, les mouvements d'aspiration et de refoulement MA1, MA2 et MR1, MR2 ont des première et seconde durées respectives différentes t1, t2, chaque mouvement d'aspiration MA1, MA2 ayant une durée t1 supérieure à la durée t2 de chaque mouvement de refoulement MR1 et MR2.In addition, the suction and delivery movements MA1, MA2 and MR1, MR2 have first and second respective durations different t1, t2, each suction movement MA1, MA2 having a duration t1 greater than the duration t2 of each delivery movement MR1 and MR2.

Dans le mode de réalisation préféré illustré à la figure 1, chaque excentrique 51, 52 est réalisé sous forme d'un guidage sur une même came 5, qui est animée d'un mouvement de rotation uniforme autour de l'axe principal X.In the preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, each eccentric 51, 52 is produced in the form of a guide on the same cam 5, which is rotated uniform around the main axis X.

Le guidage de chaque piston 3, 4 peut, par exemple, être obtenu en appuyant sur le profil de la came 5 un galet tel que 31, 41 solidaire de ce piston en translation, au moyen de ressorts tels que 7 et 8 travaillant soit en compression, soit en traction comme c'est la cas pour le mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 1.The guidance of each piston 3, 4 can, for example, be obtained by pressing on the profile of the cam 5 a roller such as 31, 41 secured to this piston in translation, by means of springs such that 7 and 8 working either in compression or in traction as is the case for the realization illustrated in figure 1.

La came 5, qui tourne autour de l'axe X, accepte également cet axe comme axe de symétrie d'ordre pair, c'est-à-dire que le profil de cette came est invariant pour une rotation de 2 x PI/N radians autour de l'axe X, N étant un nombre entier pair.Cam 5, which rotates around the X axis, also accepts this axis as the axis of symmetry even order, that is to say that the profile of this cam is invariant for a rotation of 2 x PI / N radians around the X axis, N being an even integer.

Plus précisément, dans le mode de réalisation illustré, les mouvements d'aspiration MA1, MA2 des pistons 3, 4 résultent d'une rotation de première amplitude angulaire A1 de la came 5, alors que les mouvements de refoulement MR1, MR2 des pistons 3, 4 résultent d'une rotation de seconde amplitude angulaire A2 de la came 5, la première amplitude angulaire A1 étant supérieure à la seconde amplitude angulaire A2.More specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the suction movements MA1, MA2 of pistons 3, 4 result from a rotation of first angular amplitude A1 of the cam 5, while the displacement movements MR1, MR2 of the pistons 3, 4 result from a rotation of second angular amplitude A2 of cam 5, the first angular amplitude A1 being greater than the second angular amplitude A2.

Pour ce faire, comme le montrent les figures 2 et 3, la came 5, qui est en l'occurrence conformée en une courbe fermée de symétrie axiale d'ordre 2, présente une dimension radiale de longueur minimale L1 et une dimension radiale de longueur maximale L2 faisant entre elles des angles A1, A2 différents de 90 degrés. To do this, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the cam 5, which is in this case conformed to a closed curve of axial symmetry of order 2, has a radial dimension of minimum length L1 and a radial dimension of maximum length L2 making between they have angles A1, A2 other than 90 degrees.

Autrement dit, la came 5 est totalement recouverte par un cercle centré sur l'axe X et de diamètre L2, et recouvre totalement un cercle centré sur l'axe X et de diamètre L1, les tangentes T1 et T2 ou T1' et T2' à ces cercles, qui sont aussi des tangentes à la came, faisant entre elles des angles A1 et A2 complémentaires dont le premier, A1, est supérieur au second, A2.In other words, the cam 5 is completely covered by a circle centered on the axis X and of diameter L2, and completely covers a circle centered on the X axis and of diameter L1, the tangents T1 and T2 or T1 'and T2' to these circles, which are also tangents to the cam, making between them complementary angles A1 and A2, the first of which, A1, is greater than the second, A2.

De préférence, l'angle A1 est au plus égal à 110 degrés, l'angle A2 étant donc au moins égal à 70 degrés.Preferably, the angle A1 is at most equal to 110 degrees, the angle A2 therefore being at least equal to 70 degrees.

La came 5 peut, comme le montre la figure 3, présenter une forme obtenue par anamorphose d'une ellipse.Cam 5 can, as shown in FIG. 3, have a shape obtained by anamorphosis of an ellipse.

Cependant, il peut être préférable, pour réduire les accélérations transmises aux pistons 3 et 4, d'utiliser une came telle qu'illustrée à la figure 2, et qui présente, parallèlement à sa dimension radiale de longueur minimale L1, une largeur intermédiaire L3 supérieure à la dimension radiale de longueur minimale L1 et inférieure à la dimension radiale de longueur maximale L2.However, it may be preferable, to reduce the accelerations transmitted to the pistons 3 and 4, to use a cam as illustrated in FIG. 2, and which has, parallel to its dimension radial of minimum length L1, an intermediate width L3 greater than the dimension radial of minimum length L1 and less than the radial dimension of maximum length L2.
