Abstract

In the intersecting region of the cylinder sections, trapezoidal inlet and outlet ports are provided at the circumferential cylinder surface and are opposed to each other. Located in the interior of each cylinder section is a rotor where central longitudinal axes of the rotors and cylindrical sections are parallel. Each rotor is helically twisted when viewed in the longitudinal direction to create sinusoidal surface lines (12) that function as sealing lines. The rotors are driven about their center longitudinal axes in opposite directions (10,11).

Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Pumpe mit einem aus zwei sich schneidenden Zylinderabschnitten gebildeten Gehäuse, wobei an einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten Einlass- und Auslassöffnungen vorgesehen sind und in jedem Zylinderabschnitt ein um dessen Mittellängsachse drehbarer Läufer angeordnet ist, wobei die größeren Querachsen der Läufer in wenigstens einer Bewegungsphase jeweils etwa senkrecht zueinander stehen und die Läufer sich dichtend aneinander und gegen die Gehäuseinnenwand abwälzen, und wobei die von dem Schnittpunkt der großen Querachsen ausgehenden Mantellinien jedes Läufers in einander entgegengesetzter Richtung schräg zur jeweiligen Mittellängsachse verlaufen und jeder Läufer zwei etwa keulenförmige Abschnitte umfasst, welche an ihrem schmäleren Ende über eine Einschnürung miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Läufer einer derartige Konfiguration aufweisen und relativ zueinander angeordnet sind, dass wenn die großen Querachsen der beiden Läufer senkrecht zueinander stehen, der keulenförmige Abschnitt des einen Läufers in die Einschnürung des anderen Läufers eingreift und die beiden Läufer sich dichtend aneinander abwälzen, wobei in jeder Phase der Drehbewegung die beiden Läufer ein sich gleichmäßig vergrößerndes Ansaugvolumen vor der Einlassöffnung und ein sich gleichmäßig verkleinerndes Auslassvolumen vor der Auslassöffnung bilden.The invention is directed to a pump having a housing formed from two intersecting cylinder sections, inlet and outlet openings being provided on opposite sides and a rotor rotatable about its central longitudinal axis being arranged in each cylinder section, the larger transverse axes of the travelers being in at least one Movement phase are each approximately perpendicular to each other and the rotor sealingly against each other and roll against the housing inner wall, and wherein the extending from the intersection of the large transverse axes generatrices each rotor run in opposite directions obliquely to the respective central longitudinal axis and each runner comprises two approximately club-shaped sections, which are connected together at their narrower end via a constriction, wherein the runners have such a configuration and are arranged relative to each other that when the large transverse axes of the two runners perpendicular to each other, the club-shaped portion of a rotor engages the constriction of the other rotor and the two runners sealingly roll against each other, wherein in each phase of the rotational movement, the two runners before a uniformly increasing intake volume before the inlet opening and a uniformly decreasing outlet volume form the outlet opening.

Eine solche gattungsgemäße Pumpe ist bekannt aus EP 0 363 420 B2 .Such a generic pump is known from EP 0 363 420 B2 ,

Derartige gattungsgemäß als bekannt vorausgesetzte Pumpen werden als Roots-Pumpen bzw. Roots-Gehäuse bezeichnet und sind im praktischen Einsatz seit langem bewährt.Such generically known as known pumps are referred to as Roots pumps or Roots housing and have been proven in practical use for a long time.

Die Läufer herkömmlicher derartiger Roots-Pumpen weisen Mantelflächen auf, welche zur Mittellängsachse des Läufers parallel verlaufen und damit senkrecht zur durch die Ein- und Auslassöffnungen definierten Durchströmungsrichtung. Augrund dieses Aufbaus herkömmlicher derartiger Pumpen pulsiert das gepumpte Medium relativ stark in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Drehwinkelstellung der Läufer.The runners conventional such Roots pumps have lateral surfaces which extend parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the rotor and thus perpendicular to the flow direction defined by the inlet and outlet ports. Due to this construction of conventional pumps of this type, the pumped medium pulses relatively strongly in dependence on the respective rotational angle position of the rotor.

Aus der GB-A-382 953 ist eine gattungsgemäße Pumpe bekannt, bei welcher aufgrund der dort vorgeschlagenen Läuferkonfigurationen jedoch ein erhöhter Laufwiderstand aufgrund von Flüssigkeitskompressionen in Toträumen in Kauf genommen werden muss.From the GB-A-382 953 a generic pump is known in which, however, due to the rotor configurations proposed there, an increased running resistance due to liquid compression in dead spaces must be accepted.

Aus der DE-A-35 02 839 ist eine Pumpe mit zwei Läufern bekannt, welche zwei zueinander parallele Drehachsen aufweisen, wobei die Dichtflächen jeweils schräg zu den Drehachsen verlaufen. Bei dieser vorbekannten Pumpe ist die Auslass- und Einlassöffnung in der axialen Verlängerung der Drehachsen angeordnet. Die Konfiguration der Läufer ist relativ kompliziert.From the DE-A-35 02 839 a pump with two rotors is known, which have two parallel axes of rotation, wherein the sealing surfaces each extend obliquely to the axes of rotation. In this prior art pump, the outlet and inlet ports are located in the axial extension of the axes of rotation. The configuration of the runners is relatively complicated.

Die US-A-1 142 734 beschreibt eine Pumpe mit zwei Läufern, welche im Querschnitt eine keulenförmig ineinandergreifende Konfiguration aufweisen. Die Aus- und Einlassöffnung bei dieser Konstruktion liegen einerseits im Bereich der stirnseitigen Enden und andererseits auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite etwa in der Mitte des Gehäuses. Die gewendelten Läufer setzen sich in Längsrichtung gesehen aus zwei Teilrotoren zusammen, wobei sich im Bereich der Mittelsenkrechten die Krümmung der beiden Teilrotoren ändert. Dementsprechend wird das zu pumpende Medium im wesentlichen in Axialrichtung von den Außenseiten zur Mitte gepumpt.The US-A-1 142 734 describes a pump with two rotors, which have a cross-sectionally a club-shaped interlocking configuration. The discharge and inlet openings in this construction are on the one hand in the region of the front ends and on the other hand on the opposite side approximately in the middle of the housing. Seen in the longitudinal direction, the coiled runners are composed of two sub-rotors, wherein the curvature of the two sub-rotors changes in the region of the mid-perpendicular. Accordingly, the medium to be pumped is pumped substantially in the axial direction from the outsides to the center.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Pumpe der eingangs erwähnten Art unter Wahrung ihrer prinzipiellen Vorteile so zu verbessern, dass eine pulsationsfreie, gleichmäßige Strömung des geförderten Mediums bei hoher Förderkapazität unter Vermeidung von Toträumen erzielt wird, wobei es insbesondere auch möglich sein soll, weitgehend verschleißfrei abrasive Medien, wie sie beispielsweise in der Zuckerindustrie vorkommen, oder Produkte aus dem Molkerei- und Käsereibereich zu pumpen.Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to improve a pump of the type mentioned while preserving its principal benefits so that a pulsation-free, uniform flow of the pumped medium at high production capacity while avoiding dead spaces is achieved, and it should be possible in particular , largely wear-free abrasive media, such as those found in the sugar industry, or to pump products from the dairy and cheese area.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die als Dichtlinien fungierenden Mantellinien sinusförmig ausgebildet sind.This object is achieved in that the acting as a sealing lines generatrices are formed sinusoidal.

Die erfindungsgemäßen sinusförmigen oder kosinusförmigen Mantellinien können bei einer ersten Ausführungsform im geometrischen Sinn linienförmig ausgebildet sein, wobei sich eine solche Ausführungsform insbesondere zum Pumpen von Produkten aus der Zuckerindustrie eignet.In a first embodiment, the sinusoidal or cosinusoidal generatrix lines according to the invention may be formed linearly in the geometric sense, such an embodiment being particularly suitable for pumping products from the sugar industry.

Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform sind die Mantellinien zu bandartigen Dichtflächen verbreitert. Diese Ausführung eignet sich für Molkerei- und Käsereiprodukte.In an alternative embodiment, the generatrices are widened to strip-like sealing surfaces. This version is suitable for dairy and cheese products.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass bei der letztgenannte Ausführungsform im Querschnitt der Läufer gesehen beiderseits der großen Längsachse bzw. beiderseits der kleinen Längsachse konkave Ausbuchtungen ausgebildet sind.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that in the latter embodiment in cross-section of the rotor seen on both sides of the large longitudinal axis or on both sides of the small longitudinal axis concave bulges are formed.

Mit Vorteil ist einlassseitig jeweils eine Einlassöffnung und exakt gegenüberliegend und mit der Einlassöffnung spiegelbildlich fluchtend eine Auslassöffnung vorgesehen.Advantageously, an inlet opening in each case on the inlet side and exactly opposite and provided with the inlet opening mirror image aligned an outlet opening.

Einlass- und Auslassöffnung können mit Vorteil dreieckig oder trapezförmig ausgebildet sein.Inlet and outlet ports may advantageously be triangular or trapezoidal.

Ein besonders günstiges Strömungsverhalten erhält man dadurch, dass die Schenkel bzw. Seitenkanten der Einlass- bzw. Auslassöffnung sinus- bzw. kosinusförmig konfiguriert sind.A particularly favorable flow behavior is obtained in that the legs or side edges of the inlet or outlet opening are configured sinusoidally or cosinusoidally.

Zusammenfassend lässt sich zu der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung feststellen, dass die spitzwinkligen Kanten der Läufer bzw. Kolben auf 90°-Winkel reduziert werden. Dies führt zu einer geringeren Abnutzung in diesem Bereich, minimiert somit Druckverluste und verlängert Standseiten. Zudem ist eine stirnseitige Kopplung von zwei Rotoren mit Sinus- oder Kosinusform möglich, die das Fördervolumen bei gleichem Antriebskopf verdoppeln. Da der Übergang von dem einem zu dem anderen Rotor abgerundet ist und keine spitzen Winkel vorweist, reduziert sich der Verschleiß auf ein Minimum.In summary, it can be found to the solution according to the invention that the acute-angled edges of the rotor or piston are reduced to 90 ° angle. This leads to less wear in this area, thus minimizing pressure losses and prolonging stand sides. In addition, an end coupling of two rotors with sine or cosine shape is possible, which doubles the delivery volume with the same drive head. Since the transition from one to the other rotor is rounded and does not show any acute angle, the wear is reduced to a minimum.

Die durch den wendelförmig geführten Förderstrom verursachte Taumelbelastung wird zum erheblichen Teil ausgeglichen und somit die wechselwirkende Beanspruchung auf Dichtung und Lagerung minimiert. Auch das nahezu pulsationsfreie Förderverhalten wird nochmals optimiert.The wobble load caused by the helically guided flow is to a considerable extent compensated and thus minimizes the interactive stress on the seal and bearing. The almost pulsation-free conveying behavior is also optimized again.

Vorteile ergeben sich auch durch ein noch medienschonenderes Fördern. So werden stückige Einlagen und scherempfindliche Produkte im stirnflächigen Bereich des Verdrängergehäuses nicht mehr keilförmig eingeschlossen, sondern im rechten Winkel zur Stirnfläche nach vorne geschoben.Benefits also result from an even more media-friendly conveying. Thus lumpy deposits and shear-sensitive products in the end face area of the displacer are no longer wedge-shaped enclosed, but pushed forward at right angles to the face.

The coordinated drive of both runners 6, 7 can be accomplished in a conventional manner, for example by sitting on the rotor shafts 8, 9, intermeshing gears.

Jeder Läufer 6, 7 weist im Querschnitt gesehen eine annähernd ovale Form auf und ist in Längsrichtung gesehen gewendelt, d.h. schraubenähnlich um die Längsachse gedreht.
