Definitions

  • 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.
  • Compressor machines with two oppositely rotating rotors can work as compressors or vacuum pumps.
  • 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.
  • the two waves coupling gear on the one hand and the shaft bearing on the other hand are arranged in separate housing parts, which must be exactly aligned and pinned.
  • 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 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 discloses a rotary blower with a housing and two parallel shafts to each of which a rotor is mounted.
  • a working chamber 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.
  • the invention provides a compacting machine in which, despite simplified manufacture and a reduced number of parts, precise alignment of the shafts is ensured.
  • the compressor machine according to the invention has two rotors running in opposite directions, which are mounted on two parallel, spaced-apart and mounted in a housing shafts. One of the waves is direct and the other by intermeshing waves Gears driven.
  • the housing has two integral with each other and with a peripheral wall formed radial walls in which the shafts are mounted. Between these radial walls, the gears are arranged. A side wall of the housing has a closed by a removable lid opening. With the cover removed, the gears can be mounted on the shafts through this opening.
  • the bearing bores for the shafts can be mounted and machined in the one-piece housing with a single set-up so that with minimal number of parts any cause of alignment errors is eliminated.
  • the lid closing the opening in the side wall of the housing has no influence on the bearing of the shafts. It is a simple part that only has to close the opening and seal against oil leakage. It has been found that the so avoided even small misalignments leads to better efficiency and reduced running noise.
  • one of the radial walls is a radial outer wall and the other an intermediate wall which delimits on its one side with the radial outer wall a gear housing receiving the gears and on its other side a rotor accommodating the working chamber.
  • the compressor machine according to the invention is characterized in that the working chamber is closed on the side facing away from the intermediate wall end face by a radial housing cover; the housing forms a monobloc base body, which has an opening at its front end facing the housing cover, the width of which is the largest of all located in the interior of the housing axial passages and holes, so that they are accessible for processing through this opening in a clamping of the body are, and that the intermediate wall in turn has axially through openings for receiving Wellenlagem whose width is greater than that of the axial bearing bores in the radial outer wall.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a hood 46 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.
  • 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 Operakammem 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.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 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.
  • a recess 52 is formed in the bearing cover plate 42.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
