Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet une pompe à barillet tournant dans laquelle les pistons se déplacent dans des alésages ménagés à travers le barillet, diamétralement à son axe, en s'écartant sous l'effet de la force centrifuge et en se rapprochant par appui sur une couronne excentrée.The present invention relates to a rotary barrel pump in which the pistons move in bores formed through the barrel, diametrically at its axis, deviating under the effect of the centrifugal force and approaching by pressing on an eccentric crown.
De telles pompes sont connues par les brevets
Ces pompes connues présentent toutes l'inconvénient de mettre en oeuvre des moyens complexes pour assurer l'alimentation et le refoulement de l'huile ; ce qui, en pratique, interdit leur emploi pour des vitesses élevées de rotation du barillet et donc en limite l'usage.These known pumps all have the disadvantage of implementing complex means to ensure the supply and discharge of the oil; which, in practice, prohibits their use for high speeds of rotation of the barrel and therefore limits its use.
La pompe suivant l'invention comporte des moyens d'alimentation et de sortie à la foi très simples et particulièrement performants qui permettent son utilisation à de très hautes vitesses de rotation du barillet.The pump according to the invention comprises feeding means and output in the faith very simple and particularly powerful that allow its use at very high speeds of rotation of the barrel.
La pompe selon l'invention est une pompe à barillet tournant dans laquelle les pistons se déplacent dans des alésages ménagés diamétralement à travers ledit barillet en s'écartant sous l'effet de la force centrifuge et en se rapprochant par appui sur une couronne excentrée caractérisée par le fait que lesdits alésages communiquent : d'une part avec la canalisation d'alimentation au moyen de canalisations débouchant dans une chambre située à l'arrière du barillet tournant, chambre dans laquelle débouche la canalisation d'alimentation ; d'autre part avec la canalisation de refoulement au moyen d'un collecteur, appliquée contre la face arrière dudit barillet par un ressort, ce collecteur étant muni d'une coupelle communiquant avec ladite canalisation de refoulement ; ledit collecteur étant excentré par rapport à l'axe du barillet ; de telle sorte que chacune des canalisations débouche, pendant un demi-tour dans ladite chambre et pendant un demi-tour dans la coupelle.The pump according to the invention is a rotary barrel pump in which the pistons move in bores formed diametrically through said barrel by deviating under the effect of the centrifugal force and approaching by pressing on an eccentric ring characterized in that said bores communicate: on the one hand with the supply pipe by means of pipes opening into a chamber located at the rear of the rotating barrel, chamber in which the supply pipe opens; on the other hand with the discharge pipe by means of a manifold, applied against the rear face of said barrel by a spring, this manifold being provided with a cup communicating with said discharge pipe; said collector being eccentric with respect to the axis of the barrel; so that each of the pipes opens, during a half-turn in said chamber and during a half-turn in the cup.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif et pour faciliter la compréhension de l'invention, on a représenté aux dessins annexés :
- Figure 1 : une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un exemple de réalisation de l'invention.
- Figure 2 : une vue à échelle agrandie d'une partie de la figure 1, les pièces étant en position médiane.
- Figure 3 : une vue correspondant à la figure 2, après une rotation de 90°.
- Figure 4 : une vue en coupe selon BB de la figure 1.
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 is an enlarged view of a portion of Figure 1, the parts being in the middle position.
- Figure 3: a view corresponding to Figure 2, after a rotation of 90 °.
- Figure 4: a sectional view along BB of Figure 1.
En se reportant à ces figures, on voit que la pompe indiquée par la référence générale P, est entraînée par un moteur M.Referring to these figures, we see that the pump indicated by the general reference P, is driven by a motor M.
La pompe P est constituée par un barillet 1 qui, dans l'exemple représenté, est un corps cylindrique plein, dont l'extrémité 1a est traversée, selon un diamètre, par un alésage 2.The pump P is constituted by a
Cet alésage 2 est séparé en deux parties égales 2a, 2b par un bouchon 3 placé sur l'axe XX du barillet 1.This bore 2 is divided into two
Dans les alésages 2a, 2b coulissent librement deux masselottes cylindriques 4a et 4b, qui font légèrement saillie hors de la partie cylindrique arrière 1a du barillet 1.In the
Les extrémités des masselottes 4a, 4b qui font saillie hors du barillet 1a prennent appui contre une couronne circulaire 5.The ends of the
Comme on le voit à la figure 3, cette couronne est excentrée par rapport à l'axe XX.As seen in Figure 3, this ring is eccentric with respect to the axis XX.
Cette pompe est destinée à être entraînée à de très grandes vitesses, de l'ordre de 25.000 t/m.This pump is intended to be driven at very high speeds, of the order of 25,000 t / m.
A de telles vitesses, les masselottes 4a, 4b sont écartées de l'axe XX par la force centrifuge et sont ramenées vers le centre par la couronne 5, qui est excentrée : ce mouvement de va et vient des masselottes 4a, 4b provoque un effet de pompage, lesdites masselottes faisant office de pistons.At such speeds, the
Il faut que le liquide hydraulique puisse rentrer dans les alésages 2 lors du mouvement d'écartement des masselottes/pistons 4 et puisse être évacué sous pression lorsque ces masselottes/pistons 4 sont repoussées par la couronne 5.It is necessary that the hydraulic liquid can enter the bores 2 during the movement of separation of the weights / pistons 4 and can be evacuated under pressure when these weights / pistons 4 are pushed by the
Dans ce but, les alésages 2a et 2b sont reliés, chacun, par une conduite 6a, 6b à une chambre 7 dans laquelle arrive le liquide hydraulique par une conduite d'admission 8.For this purpose, the
Un collecteur de refoulement 9 est appliqué par un ressort 10, contre la face arrière plane 11 de la partie arrière 1 a du barillet 1.A
L'extrémité dudit collecteur de refoulement 9 qui est en appui contre la face 11, comporte une coupelle cylindrique 12, qui communique avec une canalisation de sortie 13.The end of said
Comme cela est indiqué sur la figure 2 par la ligne brisée Z, l'axe de la coupelle 12 est excentré par rapport à l'axe XX du barillet 1.As indicated in FIG. 2 by the broken line Z, the axis of the
Comme on le voit en comparant les figures 2 et 3 il en résulte que, lorsque le barillet 1 exécute une rotation, dans un premier temps, un demi-tour, pendant que le piston 4a s'écarte, sous l'effet de la force centrifuge, la canalisation 6a communique avec la chambre 7 et le liquide hydraulique est aspiré dans l'alésage 2a ; puis dans un deuxième temps, deuxième demi-tour, lorsque le piston 4a est repoussé par la couronne 5, qui est excentrée, le liquide est refoulé de l'alésage 2a, par la canalisation 6a qui se trouve, alors, en correspondance avec la coupelle 12, du fait de l'excentration de celle-ci.As can be seen by comparing FIGS. 2 and 3, it follows that when the
On obtient ainsi, à chaque tour, aspiration puis refoulement du liquide hydraulique.Thus, at each turn, suction and discharge of the hydraulic fluid.
Il est par ailleurs aisé d'agir sur l'excentricité de la couronne 5 et d'obtenir ainsi une pompe à cylindrée variable.It is also easy to act on the eccentricity of the
De préférence, la couronne 5 est constituée par un roulement, les extrémités des pistons 4 étant en appui contre la bague intérieure dudit roulement.Preferably, the
Cette couronne intérieure est entraînée en rotation par l'appui exercé par les pistons, avec un léger glissement de ceux-ci.This inner ring is rotated by the support exerted by the pistons, with a slight sliding thereof.
Une pompe, telle que celle représentée aux figures 1 à 3, peut être entraînée jusqu'à 20.000 t/m et plus sans qu'il soit nécessaire de pressuriser l'alimentation de la pompe et elle peut fournir jusqu'à 700 bars de pression.A pump, such as that shown in Figures 1 to 3, can be driven up to 20,000 rpm and more without the need to pressurize the pump supply and can provide up to 700 bar pressure .
Tous les efforts sont des efforts radiaux, ce qui permet d'employer des moyens usuels, peu chers, pour assurer l'étanchéité.All efforts are radial forces, which allows to use the usual means, inexpensive, to seal.
De préférence le collecteur 9 est constitué pour être hydrostatiquement équilibré, la surface de sa face arrière étant légèrement supérieure à celle de la coupelle 12, le ressort 10 ayant seulement pour but de garantir un fonctionnement correct sans pression ou à très faible pression de refoulement.Preferably the
Dans l'exemple représenté, le barillet 1 est traversé par un seul alésage 2, mais il est possible de disposer plusieurs alésages munis chacun de deux pistons.In the example shown, the
La présente invention permet de réaliser avec des moyens mécaniques simples et peu coûteux une pompe ayant des qualités remarquables.The present invention makes it possible to realize with simple and inexpensive mechanical means a pump having remarkable qualities.
