Definitions

• the invention relates to a dry-compressing screw pump with two externally toothed and counter-rotating displacement rotor rotors for conveying and compressing gases, a gear wheel for driving and synchronizing the rotors being arranged on each of the rotors.
• Dry-compressing pumps are becoming increasingly important, especially in vacuum technology, because due to increasing obligations regarding environmental protection regulations and increasing operating and disposal costs as well as increased requirements for the purity of the pumped medium, the well-known wet-running vacuum systems such as liquid ring machines and rotary vane pumps are increasingly being replaced by dry-compressing pumps.
• These dry compacting machines include screw pumps, claw pumps, diaphragm pumps, piston pumps, scroll machines and Roots pumps. What these machines have in common, however, is that they cannot yet satisfactorily meet today's requirements in terms of reliability and robustness, as well as size and weight, and at the same time a low price level.
• the desired spindle rotor speeds are modern Spindle vacuum pumps, i.e. screw pumps, mostly well above the nominal speed of the asynchronous motors usually used for driving due to their robustness, so that either a frequency converter or an upstream gear transmission is required to increase the speed.
• these increased rotor speeds which are usually well above 3,000 revolutions per minute (around 10,000 rpm)
• contact-free rolling of the two displacement spindles in the pump work space is essential.
• the screw pump defined at the outset is characterized in that the tooth diameter of the two gear wheels for the two displacement spindle rotors - hereinafter also referred to as "rotors" - is smaller than the center distance of the two rotors that a driving gear wheel in the two gear wheels the rotors engages and meshes with them and that this toothing of the driving gear with the driven gears is designed like a crown gear.
• the peripheral speeds of the gear wheels for the rotors can be significantly reduced and the specific tooth flank load can be increased, so that the noise level and the dynamic factor are reduced. Furthermore, the desired increase in speed from the drive gear to the spindle rotors can be achieved very easily via the ratio of the diameter and number of teeth of this drive gear to the gears of the rotors.
• the solution according to the invention enables the motor axis to be arranged in the same direction as the two spindle rotor axes or at right angles to it. This favors both the installation space of the entire screw pump with motor and cooling by the motor air flow and can be adapted to the respective structural conditions.
• the driving gear is larger than the two gear wheels fixed to the spindle rotor.
• the toothing diameter of the two gear wheels for the rotors is smaller than the center distance of the two rotors, so that the driving gear wheel engages in these two gear wheels and can have a corresponding size.
• the gears attached to the two positive displacement pump rotors can be acted upon jointly by the driving gear with a larger number of teeth by a factor of the desired increase in speed, so that the two spindle rotors are driven in opposite directions with increased speed and synchronized with one another become.
• the screw pump can be operated at a higher speed, which increases the compression capacity, the delivery rate and thus the volumetric efficiency.
• a more than proportionally higher pumping speed is achieved from the same machine size, so that the specific costs - based on the volume flow - decrease accordingly.
• the factor for increasing the speed can be the already mentioned value of 1, 5 to 4 or possibly even outside these limits compared to the standard speeds for direct drive.
• the known increase in the number of digits via frequency converters, which are generally relatively expensive, can advantageously be avoided.
• the driving gear wheel can be attached directly to the shaft of a drive motor. This also helps to simplify the entire drive.
• a lubricant can be supplied on the inside of the driving gearwheel to lubricate the toothing engagements. Due to the arrangement and assignment of the gears according to the invention, the lubrication situation can be significantly more favorable by applying lubricant to the inside diameter of the toothing side of the driving, in particular crown gear-like gear, which is distributed favorably by the centrifugal force on the tooth flank interventions, which also means a further one Noise reduction is made possible.
• the driving gearwheel and / or the gearwheels fixed to the spindle rotor can be designed like a crown gear.
• the crown gear-like toothing or design of the gearwheel (s) had already been mentioned. This can refer to either the driving gear or the gears firmly connected to the spindle rotor or all gears.
• the joint attack of the driving gearwheel on the two gearwheels of the rotors can be realized as space-saving as possible.
• An expedient embodiment can consist in the fact that the driving gear has one or two crown gears arranged like a crown gear, which mesh with rotor-fixed gears designed as spur gears. This results in relatively simple gearwheels on the rotors, on the end teeth of which the crown gear-like gear rings of the driving gearwheel can engage, in which the driving gearwheel is inserted, for example, with its gear rings in the space between the two driven gearwheels.
• the crown gear-like driving gear as internal and external toothed ring gear has a rotor-fixed gear of one rotor shaft designed as a spur gear via its internal teeth and the other rotor-fixed gear of the second rotor shaft designed as a spur gear in opposite directions via its external toothing synchronized and drives at increased speed.
• the crown gear-like drive gear can thus also be represented or understood as an internally and externally toothed ring gear which, with its two toothings, synchronizes a classic spur gear in the desired manner in opposite directions and drives it at an increased speed.
• Such a ring gear can be produced as a laminated core for reasons of cost and noise.
• a further embodiment of the invention can provide that the toothings of the crown-wheel-like gears are each arranged on a cone and the cone angle of the two toothings provided on the driving toothed wheel is relatively flat or pointed with respect to a radial plane between these two toothings.
• the rotor-fixed gears are not spur gears, but bevel gears with a relatively acute cone angle, which may improve the engagement conditions of the gears.
• gears connected to the rotors are designed as crown gears and the drive gear as a spur gear.
• This spur gear can then, for example, act simultaneously on the mutually facing areas of the crown gear-like sprockets, but the toothing on the driving spur gear can also be interrupted by an annular groove and limited to the meshing area.
• the driving gear has two crown gear-like gears - also in a somewhat conical arrangement - it is advantageously possible that the axis of rotation of the driving gear is arranged at right angles to the axes of rotation of the driven gears and rotors and that in particular, two sides facing away from one another, each having a toothed ring, engaging driving gear in the space between the two driven gears arranged in a common plane and meshing with these gears.
• a dry-compressing screw pump results, the drive of which is limited to fewer gearwheels and yet allows mechanical synchronization and at the same time an increase in the speed of the rotors in a simple manner. Furthermore, due to this simplification of the overall arrangement, a good balancing of the rotating parts before assembly is possible, so that the desired high rotor speeds can be realized more cheaply.
