Definitions

  • the invention refers to mechanical engineering and can be used in rotor vane pumps, hydraulic motors, hydrostatic differential units and transmission systems with increased effectiveness at high pressure.
  • rotor vane machines containing two units installed with the possibility of reciprocal rotation, namely a housing with inlet and outlet ports and a rotor with vane chambers enclosing vanes with the possibility of movement relative to the rotor: axial (patent US570584 ), radial (patent US894391 ) or rotary (patents US1096804 and US2341710 ), with the working chamber in them being limited by the face surfaces of the rotor and the housing.
  • the inlet cavity hydraulically connected to the inlet port and the outlet cavity hydraulically connected to the outlet port are divided by two insulating dams of the housing.
  • One of them has a sliding insulating contact with the vanes moving from the inlet to the outlet cavity during the rotor rotation and is further called a forward transfer limiter.
  • the other one is further called a backward transfer limiter.
  • the embodiment of the working chamber in the annular groove in the face of the rotor unit US1096804 , US3348494 , US894391 , US2341710 provides the radial unloading of the rotor and improves insulation of the working chamber through the sliding insulating contact between the face surface of the working part of the rotor enclosing the annular groove and the face surface of the working part of the housing.
  • the flat insulating face surfaces of the working parts of the rotor and the housing being pressed together provide good insulation at no deformations.
  • the hydrostatic component EP0269474 taken by us as the closest analog with reduced deforming influence of the working fluid pressure on the surfaces of the sliding insulating contact between the working parts of both units. It consists of two units, namely the housing and the rotor installed with the possibility of reciprocal rotation.
  • the housing with the inlet and outlet ports (called “channels for fluid feed and removal” by the authors) contains the working part of the housing called by the authors “the trackway carriers", the way enclosing the forward transfer limiter and the backward transfer limiter in the form of the rim sections with a trackway between the inlet and outlet cavities.
  • the rim with the trackway also performs the function of the guide cam of the vane drive.
  • the rotor consists of two parts: the working part of the rotor called a "plate holder” and the supporting part called a "supporting flange".
  • the working face surface of the plate holder has an annular groove connected to the vane chambers enclosing the vanes installed with the possibility of varying the degree of extension into the annular groove.
  • the authors have provided for the embodiment when the supporting part also has the vane chambers and the annular groove. In this case the supporting part of the rotor contacts with the supporting part of the housing in the form of the second trackway carrier.
  • the working part of the housing insulates the working chamber in the annular groove.
  • the working chamber is divided by the backward transfer limiter (the rim section overlapping the annular groove the most) and the forward transfer limiter (the rim section overlapping the annular groove the least) having a sliding insulting contact with the vanes into the inlet cavity of the working chamber hydraulically connected to the inlet port and the outlet cavity of the working chamber hydraulically connected to the outlet port.
  • the authors provide for the possibility of using a pair of hydrostatic components of the described type in rotor vane machines either in the embodiment where the working and supporting parts of the rotor are located between the working and supporting parts of the housing connected by the connecting part of the housing in the form of a shaft or in the embodiment where the working and supporting parts of the housing are located between the working and supporting parts of the rotor connected by the connecting part of the rotor in the form of an outer casing.
  • an adaptive embodiment of one of the units, rotor or housing that is an embodiment including force chambers of variable length kinematically connecting the working and supporting parts of the adaptive unit with the possibility of their reciprocal axial displacements and tilts at least sufficient to bring the blade holder to the trackway carrier, i.e. to ensure the sliding insulating contact between the working parts of both units of hydrostatic component during their reciprocal rotation while every force chamber includes a load-bearing cavity hydraulically connected to the working chamber and the means of its insulation.
  • the rotor is adaptive, that is it includes force chambers of variable length kinematically connecting its working and supporting parts, i.e. the plate holder with the supporting flange, with the possibility of their reciprocal axial displacements.
  • the cylindrical load-bearing cavities communicating with the working chamber have an oval section and are made on the face of the plate holder on the reverse side from the annular groove. They contain means of insulation in the form of cylindrical piston-like elements moving in the axial direction and called “sealing cups" by the authors. These elements thrust against the supporting flange and press the face surface of the plate holder to the face surface of the trackway carrier thus sealing the working chamber.
  • the authors point out that the fluid pressure forces pushing the plate holder away from the trackway carrier are transferred through the force chambers to the static contact between the piston-like moving element and deformable supporting flange, which relieves the mentioned face insulating surfaces of the plate holder from axial deformations.
  • the pressing force of the working part of the rotor to the working part of the housing depends on the force chambers size and determines the level of friction losses between these working parts.
  • the axis of rotation of the plate holder can deflect from the axis of rotation of supporting flange by a certain angle. This angle determines the angular amplitude of the cyclic tilts performed by the insulating surface of the supporting flange relative to the face surface of the moving element during rotation of the rotor unit.
  • the supporting flange deformation under the action of the working fluid pressure increases the cyclic tilts amplitude considerably and causes distortion of its flat insulating surface. All this destroys the sliding insulating contact between the mentioned insulating surfaces and results in considerable increase of the leakages, which is a significant shortcoming of the hydrostatic component described above.
  • the trackway carrier is hydrostatically unbalanced. Therefore, its flat insulating surfaces deform at high pressure, which further increases the leakages.
  • the EP0269474 also described the embodiment of the hydrostatic component where it is the housing rather than the rotor that is adaptive, i.e. the force chambers of variable length with moving elements are located in the housing unit between the working part of the housing, i.e. the trackway carrier and the supporting part of the housing.
  • the tilts of the supporting part of the housing relative to the working part of the housing conditioned by deformations and technological reasons as well as the distortion of the flat insulating surface will result in leakage growth.
  • the elastic elements sealing the contact between the walls of the moving element and the walls of the load-bearing cavity in the form of flexible peripheral rims of the moving piston-like elements or in the form of toroidal sealing gaskets partly improve the insulation in case of the above-described reciprocal tilts of the working and supporting of the relevant unit of the hydrostatic component; however, they result in considerable increase of the frictional forces preventing movement of the moving elements in the cavities of the force chambers. To overcome these forces it is necessary to increase the section of the force chambers, which results in increased forces pressing the rotor to the housing and higher friction losses.
  • the hydrostatic component described in EP0269474 requires high precision of manufacture, fails to provide insulation of the force chambers and the working chamber in case of deformations and prevents achieving a low level of leakages and low friction losses together at high pressure.
  • the objective of the present invention is to provide insulation of the working chamber and force chambers of variable length in a wide range of deformations and technological tolerances and related reciprocal tilted and transverse movements of the working and supporting parts of the adaptive unit and to increase the efficiency of rotor vane machines at high pressure.
  • a rotor vane machine consisting of two units, namely a housing and a rotor installed with the possibility of reciprocal rotation.
  • the housing with the inlet and outlet ports contains the supporting part of the housing and the working part of the housing with a forward transfer limiter and a backward transfer limiter.
  • the rotor includes the supporting part of the rotor and the working part of the rotor.
  • the working face surface has an annular groove connected with the vane chambers enclosing the vanes installed with the possibility of changing the degree of extension into the annular groove.
  • the working and supporting parts of one unit are located between the working and supporting parts of another unit joined by the connecting part.
  • the supporting part of the housing contacts the supporting part of the rotor while the working part of the part of the housing contacts with sliding the working face surface of the working part of the rotor and insulates the working chamber in the annular groove.
  • the backward transfer limiter and the forward transfer limiter being in sliding insulating contact with the vanes divide the working chamber into the inlet cavity hydraulically connected to the inlet port and the outlet cavity hydraulically connected to the outlet port.
  • At least one of the two units of the rotor vane machine, the rotor or the housing are made adaptive, that is it includes the force chambers of variable length kinematically joining the working and supporting parts of the adaptive unit with the possibility of their reciprocal axial displacements and tilts.
  • the amplitude of these axial displacements is at least sufficient to ensure a sliding insulating contact between the working parts of both units of the rotor vane machine during their reciprocal rotation.
  • the change of the length of these force chambers results in these reciprocal movements of the working and supporting parts of the adaptive unit.
  • Each force chamber of variable length (hereinafter in the text - the force chamber) includes a load-bearing cavity of variable length (hereinafter in the text - the load-bearing cavity) hydraulically connected to the working chamber and the means of its insulation.
  • the pressure forces of the working fluid in the load-bearing cavities are directed so as to draw the force chambers apart and to bring the working part of the housing closer to the working part of the rotor.
  • the means of insulation of its load-bearing cavity include two moving elements at least. These moving elements are installed forming sliding insulating contacts between the following pairs of the surfaces: the insulating surface of one of the moving elements and the insulating surface of one part of the adaptive unit, the insulating surface of another moving element and the insulating surface of the other part of the adaptive unit and between the insulating surfaces of the moving elements. At least in one of these contacts both insulating surfaces are cylindrical and at least in one of them they are spherical while in the other contacts mentioned the shapes of the pairs of the contacting surfaces are chosen so as to keep the sliding insulating contact during such reciprocal movements of the working and supporting parts of the adaptive unit.
  • both insulating surfaces are made either flat or spherical.
  • the spherical and flat insulating surfaces should be preferably made on the hydrostatically unloaded part of the adaptive unit and on the hydrostatically unloaded moving elements.
  • one part of the adaptive unit, the supporting or the connecting one is not unloaded and is deformable under pressure it is preferable to make cylindrical surfaces on this deformable part and the gap clearance between them and the respective cylindrical surfaces of the moving elements, if required, should be sealed with cylindrical self-adjusting spring rings.
  • the cylindrical surfaces are made on moving elements and on any of the mentioned parts or between the moving elements.
  • the cylindrical surface is interpreted here in its most general sense as a surface formed by parallel displacement of a straight line along the set closed circuit. If necessary the cylindrical surfaces can be made with an oval or another transverse section.
  • the examples of the invention implementation given below show the preferable embodiment of cylindrical surfaces with a round cross-section.
  • the pressing of the working part of the rotor to the working part of the housing at no pressure is provided by the fact that the force chambers include elastic elements.
  • the shapes, sizes and location of the load-bearing cavities are chosen so that the sum of elastic forces of these elastic elements and the forces of the working fluid pressure in the force chambers pressing the working part of the rotor to the working part of the housing exceeds the sum of the pressure forces of the working fluid in the working chamber pushing the working part of the rotor away from the working part of the housing and the friction forces in said rotor elements preventing the working part of the rotor from approaching the working part of the housing by the set value, preferably not exceeding 5 % of said sum of the pressure forces repelling the working part of the rotor from the working part of the housing.
  • shapes and sizes of the load-bearing cavities are chosen so that to provide hydrostatic pressing of the working parts to each other, namely the shapes, sizes and location of the load-bearing cavities are chosen so that the sum of the working fluid pressure forces in the force chambers pressing the working part of the rotor to the working part of the housing should exceed the sum of the working fluid pressure forces repelling the working part of the rotor from the working part of the housing by a preset value preferably not exceeding 5 % of said sum of the pressure forces repelling the working part of the rotor from the working part of the housing.
  • the supporting cavities for the hydrostatic unloading of the supporting part of the adaptive unit are made between the supporting parts of the rotor and the housing being in sliding insulating contact, their shapes, sizes, number and location are chosen so that the difference between the working fluid pressure forces repelling the working parts of the rotor and the housing from each other and the working fluid pressure forces repelling the supporting parts of the rotor and the housing from each other should not exceed the set value preferably small.
  • Hydrostatic unloading of a part of the adaptive unit prevents it from axial deformations under working fluid pressure and reduces substantially the losses on friction between it and corresponding part of the other unit.
  • said hydrostatic pressing of the moving elements is provided by the fact that for every pair of said insulating surfaces the area of the cross section of the load-bearing cavity by the plane passing through the inner boundary of the sliding insulating contact of these surfaces is chosen to be less than the area of the cross section of the cylindrical insulating surfaces of the load-bearing cavity by at least 50% of the area of projection of said sliding insulating contact to said plane.
  • the area of one insulating surface exceeds the area of the other insulating surface so that every section of the surface of the smaller area keeps the sliding insulating contact with the surface of the larger area at any angle of the rotor rotation throughout the whole range of reciprocal displacements of the working and supporting parts of the adaptive unit.
  • the proposed solution for insulation of the force chambers and the working chamber of the rotor vane machine can be embodied in various designs. They differ by which unit of the rotor vane machine, the rotor or the housing, is made adaptive and by the type of the force closure, i.e. by which of the two units includes the connecting part sustaining the axial tensile of the working fluid pressure forces compensating them with its elastic strain.
