Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verdichtermaschine mit zwei gegensinnig laufenden Rotoren, die auf zwei parallelen, voneinander beabstandeten und in einem Gehäuse gelagerten Wellen montiert sind, von denen eine direkt und die andere durch miteinander kämmende, auf den Wellen angebrachte Zahnräder angetrieben ist.The invention relates to a compressor machine with two counter-rotating rotors, which are mounted on two parallel, spaced-apart and mounted in a housing shafts, one of which is driven directly and the other by intermeshing, mounted on the shafts gears.

Verdichtermaschinen mit zwei gegensinnig rotierenden Rotoren können als Verdichter oder Vakuumpumpen arbeiten. Aus der EP 1 163 450 A1 ist eine solche Maschine mit klauenartigen Rotorflügeln bekannt, die sowohl Saugluft als auch Blasluft erzeugen kann und sich besonders für den Einsatz im Bereich der Papierverarbeitung eignet. Aufgrund der inneren Verdichtung derartiger Maschinen können deutlich höhere Druckverhältnisse erreicht werden als z.B. mittels einer Roots-Pumpe. Durch fliegende Anordnung der Rotoren in einem topfartigen Gehäuse wird ein einfacher Aufbau erreicht. Das die beiden Wellen koppelnde Getriebe einerseits und die Wellenlagerung andererseits sind jedoch in getrennten Gehäuseteilen angeordnet, die exakt miteinander ausgerichtet und verstiftet werden müssen. Ebenso muß das die Rotoren aufnehmende topfförmige Gehäuse exakt mit dem Getriebegehäuse verstiftet werden. Daraus ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit, Stiftbohrungen möglichst genau von zwei verschiedenen Seiten eines Gehäuseteils bearbeiten zu müssen. Ungenauigkeiten führen zu schiefstehenden Wellen und dadurch erhöhten Lagerbelastungen, Zahnradgeräuschen und anderen Fehlfunktionen.Compressor machines with two oppositely rotating rotors can work as compressors or vacuum pumps. From EP 1 163 450 A1, such a machine with claw-type rotor blades is known, which can generate both suction air and blown air and is particularly suitable for use in the field of paper processing. Due to the internal compression of such machines, significantly higher pressure ratios can be achieved than e.g. by means of a roots pump. By flying arrangement of the rotors in a pot-like housing a simple construction is achieved. However, the two waves coupling gear on the one hand and the shaft bearing on the other hand, however, are arranged in separate housing parts, which must be exactly aligned and pinned. Likewise, the cup-shaped housing receiving the rotors must be pinned exactly to the transmission housing. This results in the need to edit pin holes as accurately as possible from two different sides of a housing part. Inaccuracies lead to skewed shafts and thus increased bearing loads, gear noise and other malfunctions.

US 2,635,552 A offenbart eine Rotationspumpe zum Pumpen von Flüssigkeiten vornehmlich aus dem Lebensmittelbereich. Die Pumpe weist zwei parallele Wellen auf, an denen jeweils ein Rotor fliegend befestigt ist. Sie umfasst ein Getriebegehäuse mit einer Getriebekammer zur Aufnahme von Zahnrädern und eine an dem Getriebegehäuse angeschraubtes Arbeitsgehäuse mit einer Arbeitskammer zur Aufnahme der Rotoren. Die Lagerung der Wellen erfolgt in den Stirnwänden der Getriebekammer.US 2,635,552 A discloses a rotary pump for pumping liquids primarily from the food sector. The pump has two parallel shafts to each of which a rotor is mounted flying. It comprises a gear housing with a gear chamber for receiving gear wheels and a housing bolted to the gear housing with a working chamber for receiving the rotors. The bearing of the waves takes place in the end walls of the gear chamber.

US 1,386,792 A offenbart ein Rotationsgebläse mit einem Gehäuse und zwei parallelen Wellen, an denen jeweils ein Rotor befestigt ist. In dem Gehäuse sind eine Arbeitskammer, eine Getriebekammer und dazwischenliegend eine Luftkammer angeordnet. Die Arbeitskammer wird auf ihrer einen Seite durch einen radialen Deckel begrenzt. Die Lagerung der Wellen erfolgt in einer die Getriebekammer begrenzenden stirnseitigen Außenwand und in dem radialen Deckel.US 1,386,792 A discloses a rotary blower with a housing and two parallel shafts to each of which a rotor is mounted. In the housing, a working chamber, a gear chamber and an air chamber therebetween are arranged. The working chamber is bounded on one side by a radial cover. The storage of the waves takes place in a transmission chamber limiting frontal outer wall and in the radial cover.

Durch die Erfindung wird eine Verdichtermaschine geschaffen, bei der trotz vereinfachter Herstellung und verminderter Teilezahl eine präzise Ausrichtung der Wellen gewährleistet ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Verdichtermaschine hat zwei gegensinnig laufende Rotoren, die auf zwei parallelen, voneinander beabstandeten und in einem Gehäuse gelagerten Wellen montiert sind. Eine der Wellen ist direkt und die andere durch miteinander kämmende, auf den Wellen angebrachte Zahnräder angetrieben. Das Gehäuse hat zwei einteilig miteinander und mit einer Umfangswand ausgebildete radiale Wände, in denen die Wellen gelagert sind. Zwischen diesen radialen Wänden sind die Zahnräder angeordnet. Eine Seitenwand des Gehäuses hat eine durch einen abnehmbaren Deckel verschlossene Öffnung. Bei abgenommenem Deckel können durch diese Öffnung hindurch die Zahnräder auf den Wellen montiert werden. Die Lagerbohrungen für die Wellen können in dem einstückigen Gehäuse mit einer einzigen Aufspannung angebracht und bearbeitet werden, so daß bei minimaler Anzahl von Teilen jegliche Ursache von Ausrichtungsfehlern entfällt. Der die Öffnung in der Seitenwand des Gehäuses verschließende Deckel hat keinerlei Einfluß auf die Lagerung der Wellen. Er ist ein einfaches Teil, das lediglich die Öffnung verschließen und gegen Ölaustritt abdichten muß. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die so ermöglichte Vermeidung selbst kleiner Fehlstellungen zu einem besseren Wirkungsgrad und verringertem Laufgeräusch führt.The invention provides a compacting machine in which, despite simplified manufacture and a reduced number of parts, precise alignment of the shafts is ensured.

Die hier beispielshalber beschriebene Verdichtermaschine hat Rotoren mit klauenförmigen Rotorflügeln und kann sowohl als Verdichter als auch als Vakuumpumpe betrieben werden.The compressor machine described here by way of example has rotors with claw-shaped rotor blades and can be operated both as a compressor and as a vacuum pump.

Auf einem Sockel 10 ist ein einstückig geformter Gehäusekörper 12 mit einem angeflanschten Elektromotor 14 gelagert. Der Gehäusekörper 12 hat zwei radiale, parallele und voneinander beabstandete Wände 16, 18, die durch eine Umfangswand 20 miteinander verbunden sind. Die radiale Wand 16 bildet eine Außenwand. Die radiale Wand 18 bildet eine Zwischenwand des Gehäusekörpers 12 und grenzt einen zwischen den Wänden 16, 18 gebildeten Getrieberaum 22 von einer Arbeitskammer 24 ab, die zwei Rotoren 26, 28 mit klauenartigen Rotorflügeln aufnimmt. Der Rotor 26 ist fliegend an einem axialen Ende einer Welle 30 angebracht, die in den radialen Wänden 16, 18 gelagert ist. Das entgegengesetzte axiale Ende der Welle 30 ist direkt an die Abtriebswelle des Elektromotors 14 angekoppelt. Der Rotor 28 ist fliegend an einem axialen Ende einer zweiten Welle 32 angebracht, die ebenfalls in den radialen Wänden 16, 18 gelagert ist. Die Wellen 30, 32 sind parallel und voneinander beabstandet. Die Wellen 30, 32 sind durch zwei miteinander kämmende, im Getrieberaum 22 angeordnete Zahnräder 34, 36 miteinander gekoppelt, so daß sie synchron und mit entgegengesetztem Drehsinn rotieren.On a base 10, an integrally molded housing body 12 is mounted with a flanged electric motor 14. The housing body 12 has two radial, parallel and spaced apart walls 16, 18 which are interconnected by a peripheral wall 20. The radial wall 16 forms an outer wall. The radial wall 18 forms an intermediate wall of the housing body 12 and defines a transmission chamber 22 formed between the walls 16, 18 from a working chamber 24 which receives two rotors 26, 28 with claw-like rotor blades. The rotor 26 is mounted in a floating manner on an axial end of a shaft 30, which is mounted in the radial walls 16, 18. The opposite axial end of the shaft 30 is coupled directly to the output shaft of the electric motor 14. The rotor 28 is mounted in a floating manner on an axial end of a second shaft 32, which is likewise mounted in the radial walls 16, 18. The shafts 30, 32 are parallel and spaced apart. The shafts 30, 32 are coupled together by two intermeshing, arranged in the gear chamber 22 gears 34, 36, so that they rotate synchronously and in opposite directions of rotation.

Der Gehäusekörper 12 hat eine Seitenwand mit einer Öffnung 38, die durch einen von außen aufgesetzten Deckel 40 verschließbar ist. Diese Öffnung 38 ist so bemessen, daß bei abgenommenem Deckel 40 die Zahnräder 34, 36 in den Getrieberaum 22 zur Montage auf den Wellen 30, 32 eingebracht werden können.The housing body 12 has a side wall with an opening 38 which can be closed by a lid 40 fitted from outside. This opening 38 is dimensioned so that when removed cover 40, the gears 34, 36 in the gear chamber 22 for mounting on the shafts 30, 32 can be introduced.

Auf der Seite der Arbeitskammer 24 ist an die Zwischenwand 18 eine Lagerdeckelplatte 42 angesetzt. An ihrem von der Lagerdeckelplatte 42 abgewandten axialen Ende ist die Arbeitskammer 24 durch einen radialen Gehäusedeckel 44 verschlossen. An den Gehäusedeckel 44 schließt eine Haube 46 an, die einen beispielsweise mit der Welle 30 gekoppelten oder über einen Fremdantrieb verfügenden Lüfter umschließt.On the side of the working chamber 24, a bearing cover plate 42 is attached to the intermediate wall 18. At its end remote from the bearing cover plate 42 axial end of the working chamber 24 is closed by a radial housing cover 44. To the housing cover 44 includes a hood 46, which encloses a coupled for example with the shaft 30 or having a third-party drive fan.

Bei der beschriebenen Verdichtermaschine handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen sog. "Klauenverdichter", also eine Maschine mit klauenförmigen Rotorflügeln und mit innerer Verdichtung. Die Figur 4 zeigt drei Phasen im Zyklus einer solchen Maschine, nämlich bei a) den beginnenden Verdichtungsprozeß, bei b) den fortgeschrittenen Verdichtungsprozeß und bei c) die Phase des Ausschiebens des verdichteten Volumens. Der in Figur 4a) gezeigten Phase geht die Einlaßphase voraus, bei der eine gemeinsame Einlaßkammer aufgefüllt, dann in zwei Teilkammem aufgeteilt und schließlich zu einem gemeinsamen Volumen zusammengeführt wird, das dann die innere Verdichtung erfährt. Eine mit A bezeichnete Auslaßöffnung wird bei der Drehung der Rotoren während der Phase der inneren Verdichtung und während der Einlaßphase durch eine der Stirnflächen des unteren Rotors verschlossen. Beginnend mit dem in Figur 4b) gezeigten Zustand wird die Auslaßöffnung A durch den unteren Rotor freigegeben, damit das verdichtete Volumen über die Auslaßöffnung A ausgeschoben werden kann. Diese Auslaßöffnung führt axial durch den Gehäusedeckel 44 aus dem Arbeitsraum der Verdichtermaschine hinaus.The described compressor machine is preferably a so-called "claw compressor", ie a machine with claw-shaped rotor blades and with internal compression. Figure 4 shows three phases in the cycle of such a machine, namely at a) the beginning of the compression process, at b) the advanced compression process and at c) the phase of pushing out the compacted volume. The phase shown in Figure 4a) is preceded by the inlet phase, in which a common inlet chamber is filled, then divided into two Teilkammem and finally merged into a common volume, which then undergoes the internal compression. An outlet port denoted by A is closed during rotation of the rotors during the phase of internal compression and during the inlet phase by one of the end faces of the lower rotor. Starting with the state shown in Figure 4b), the outlet opening A is released by the lower rotor, so that the compressed volume can be ejected through the outlet port A. This outlet opening leads axially through the housing cover 44 out of the working space of the compressor machine.

Figur 5 zeigt in vergrößerter Darstellung die Wellenlagerung an der Zwischenwand 18 und die an der Lagerdeckelplatte 42 angeordnete Wellendichtung. Die Wellenlagerung besteht aus einem allgemein mit 50 bezeichneten Doppelkugellager. Zur Aufnahme der Wellendichtung ist in der Lagerdeckelplatte 42 eine Ausnehmung 52 gebildet. In der Ausnehmung 52 ist ein Wellendichtring 54 aus gummielastischem Material angeordnet, der mit einer spitzen Dichtkante 54a am Außenumfang einer auf der Welle 32 aufgeschrumpften Hülse 56 dichtend in Anlage ist. Die Hülse 56 ist mit einem Dichtring 58 gegen die Welle 32 abgedichtet. Die Hülse 56 hat eine radial überhöhte Schulter 56a, in der zwei Dichtringe 60 axial nebeneinander aufgenommen sind. Die Dichtringe 60 dichten die Hülse 56 gegen den Innenumfang der Ausnehmung in der Lagerdeckelplatte 42 ab. Zwischen dem Dichtring 54 und der Aussparung in der Lagerdeckelplatte 42 verbleibt ein Zwischenraum 62, der mit einer Bohrung 64 in Verbindung steht. Die Bohrung 64 führt durch die Lagerdeckelplatte 42 nach außen.Figure 5 shows an enlarged view of the shaft bearing on the intermediate wall 18 and arranged on the bearing cover plate 42 shaft seal. The shaft bearing consists of a generally designated 50 double ball bearing. To receive the shaft seal, a recess 52 is formed in the bearing cover plate 42. In the recess 52, a shaft seal 54 made of rubber-elastic material is arranged, which is sealingly abutting with a pointed sealing edge 54a on the outer circumference of a shrunk onto the shaft 32 sleeve 56. The sleeve 56 is sealed with a sealing ring 58 against the shaft 32. The sleeve 56 has a radially raised shoulder 56a, in which two sealing rings 60 are received axially adjacent to each other. The sealing rings 60 seal the sleeve 56 against the inner circumference of the recess in the bearing cover plate 42. Between the sealing ring 54 and the recess in the bearing cover plate 42 remains a gap 62 which communicates with a bore 64 in connection. The bore 64 leads through the bearing cover plate 42 to the outside.

Die Besonderheit der in Figur 5 dargestellten Wellendichtung besteht darin, daß sie an der Lagerdeckelplatte 42 angeordnet ist und so einen problemlosen Einbau von der offenen Stirnseite des Gehäusegrundkörpers her ermöglicht.The peculiarity of the shaft seal shown in Figure 5 is that it is arranged on the bearing cover plate 42 and thus allows easy installation of the open end side of the housing base body ago.

Bei der in Figur 6 gezeigten Ausführungsform der Verdichtermaschine ist der Grundkörper des Gehäuses von einer Haube 70 umgeben, die mit dem Außenumfang des Gehäuses axiale Kühlluftkanäle 72 abgrenzt. Die Kühlluftkanäle 72 führen von einem Schutzgitter 74 neben dem Gehäusedeckel 44 axial entlang dem Außenumfang des Gehäuses bis hinter die Getriebekammer, wo sie radial einwärts in eine Lüfterkammer 76 münden, in der ein Lüfter angeordnet ist, dessen Läufer auf einer Antriebswelle befestigt ist, die mit der unteren Welle 30 gekoppelt ist. Die Kühlluft tritt radial nach unten aus.In the embodiment of the compressor machine shown in FIG. 6, the main body of the housing is surrounded by a hood 70 which delimits axial cooling air passages 72 with the outer circumference of the housing. The cooling air channels 72 lead from a protective grid 74 adjacent to the housing cover 44 axially along the outer circumference of the housing to behind the gear chamber, where they open radially inwardly into a fan chamber 76, in which a fan is arranged, the rotor is mounted on a drive shaft, which with the lower shaft 30 is coupled. The cooling air exits radially downwards.
