Description
- The present invention relates to a volumetric pump, in particular a gear pump. Gear pump means a pump in which the change in volume induced by the meshing of two rolling bodies is exploited to transfer energy to a fluid.
- There are known gear pumps comprising:
- two cogwheels which engage with each other;
- a drive shaft which drives one of said due cogwheels;
- a shaft drawing the drive shaft; the drawing shaft extends in part inside a casing of the pump and extends outside said casing so as to receive the drive torque. In the technical field the drawing shaft is also known as a support or hub.
- Inside the pump casing, the drawing shaft is supported by roller bearings, for example double row ball bearings, which serve to neutralise both axial stresses and radial stresses, preventing them from being transferred onto the drive shaft.
- A drawback of this constructive solution is tied to the cost of this type of bearings, as well as their dimensions. In fact, the cost and dimensions of these components are reflected in the cost and overall dimensions of the pump.
-
- The stated technical task and specified objects are substantially achieved by a gear pump comprising the technical features disclosed in one or more of the appended claims.
- Additional features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the approximate, and thus non-limiting description, of a preferred, but not exclusive embodiment of a gear pump, as illustrated in the appended drawings, in which:
-
figure 1 shows a schematic view of a pump which can incorporate the present invention; -
figures 2 and 3 show two orthogonal and sectional views of a portion of a pump according to the present invention; -
figures 4 and 5 show two orthogonal and sectional views of a portion of a pump according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention. - In the appended figures, the
reference number 1 indicates a volumetric pump, in particular a gear pump. The gears interact with a fluid transiting through the pump, determining an increase in energy. - As previously indicated, gear pump means a pump in which the change in volume induced by the meshing of two rolling bodies (typically cogwheels) is exploited to determine a transfer of energy to the fluid.
- In an alternative embodiment, the pump could be, for example, a pump with pistons sliding in corresponding seatings, and in which the pistons and the seatings thereof are drawn in rotation by an inclined plate (in general terms pumps of this type are well known in the art and will therefore not be further detailed).
- The
pump 1 comprises: - a
drive shaft 2; - a drawing shaft 3 which draws in rotation the
drive shaft 2. - In the preferred embodiment, the
pump 1 is a gear pump and thedrive shaft 2 is advantageously solidly constrained to at least one of the gears which determine an increase in energy of the fluid (said gears coincide with rolling bodies placed in direct contact with the fluid; conveniently, thedrive shaft 2 and at least one of said rolling bodies are in a single monolithic body; advantageously, the rolling bodies are cogwheels). - The drawing shaft 3 is operatively linked to the
drive shaft 2 and transfers its radial loads to the latter, whilst being constrained to means for neutralising its axial loads. - The drawing shaft 3 is placed, directly or indirectly by means of a transmission member, between a motor (typically of the internal combustion type) for driving the
pump 1 and thedrive shaft 2. - The
pump 1 comprises an external casing 7. The external casing 7 is part of the protective enclosure of the pump. Advantageously, the external casing 7 is obtained by casting. - In the specific embodiment illustrated by way of example, the
drive shaft 2 lies internally of the casing 7 of thepump 1. The drawing shaft 3 projects externally of the casing 7 in order to enable a direct or indirect connection with a motor. In particular, a part of the drawing shaft 3 outside the casing 7 defines a power take-off operatively connected to the motor. - The casing 7 comprises a
mouth 73 for the drawing shaft 3 to pass through the casing 7. - The
pump 1 also comprises a static support structure 4 for thedrive shaft 2. - The support structure 4 comprises:
- a
support 40 with respect to which thedrive shaft 2 can rotate; advantageously thesupport 40 is in a single body with the aforesaid casing 7; - means for neutralising the radial loads bearing on the drawing shaft 3 (and which are transferred to said
drive shaft 2, since the shaft 3 does not comprise bearings to oppose said radial loads); the neutralising means thus serve to neutralise the radial loads that arrive on thedrive shaft 2 and originate from elements located upstream thereof, for example because of a transmission of motion through a bevel gear pair or universal joint; the neutralising means substantially comprise/coincide with one or more sliding bearings (devoid of rolling elements) radially interposed between thedrive shaft 2 and the support 40 (it/they supports/support the drive shaft 2); said one or more sliding bearings comprising at least a first sliding bearing 41. The sliding surface of the first sliding bearing 41 is a cylindrical surface that envelops the rotation axis of thedrive shaft 2. The first sliding bearing 41 is of a commercial type and can comprise steel and Teflon. It is lubricated. - The first bearing 41 is advantageously a single cylindrical body.
- The first bearing 41 is static. The
drive shaft 2 rotates inside the first bearing 41. The first bearing 41 is in contact with the drive shaft 2 (possibly through an interposed layer of lubricant) and thesupport 40. The first bearing 41 is not, however, in contact with the drawing shaft 3. - The radial thickness of the first bearing 41 is comprised between 0.5 and 3 millimetres. Conveniently, the ratio between the axial extent and outer diameter of the first bearing 41 is comprised between 0.5 and 1.5.
- The
pump 1 also comprises at least a thrust bearing 71 which axially abuts, directly or indirectly, afirst portion 33 of the drawing shaft 3 in order to neutralise axial loads bearing on the drawing shaft 3. - For example, in the case of
figure 2 , the thrust bearing 71 directly abuts a first portion of the drawing shaft 3. In the case offigure 4 , as better explained below, the thrust bearing 71 abuts thefirst portion 33 by interposition of the elements indicated by thereference numbers - In particular, the
pump 1 comprises a pair ofthrust bearings 71, axially interposed between which is thefirst portion 33 of the drawing shaft 3 or an element constrained and/or solidly joined thereto in order to neutralise axial loads bearing on the drawing shaft 3. In this manner, the axial loads originating from the drawing shaft 3 will not be transferred onto the drivenshaft 2. The pair ofthrust bearings 71 is a pair of axial sliding bearings (thus devoid of rolling elements). - The
first portion 33 of the drawing shaft 3 comprises aportion 34 which projects radially and extends circumferentially about the rotation axis of the drawing shaft 3. - The pair of
thrust bearings 71 is integral with or solidly constrained to said support structure 4. They are static. - In the preferred embodiment, the pair of
thrust bearings 71 comprises a pair ofsliding rings 710. The slidingrings 710 are advantageously positioned side by side at a predetermined distance and preferably parallel. In particular, saidrings 710 extend perpendicularly to a rotation axis of the drawing shaft 3. Conveniently, they are spaced at a distance of less than 10 millimetres from each other. - Conveniently, the pair of
thrust bearings 71 is interposed between the first sliding bearing 41 and themouth 73 passing through the casing 7. - Conveniently, the axial thickness of each of said
thrust bearings 71 is comprised between 0.5 and 3 millimetres. - The minimum distance between the thrust bearing 71 and the
mouth 73 passing through the casing is comprised between 20 and 50 millimetres. - The minimum distance between the first bearing 41 and the
mouth 73 passing through the casing 7 is comprised between 25 and 70 millimetres. - As exemplified in the appended figures, the drawing shaft 3 is not supported by roller bearings. Conveniently, nor is the
drive shaft 2 supported by roller bearings. - The drawing shaft 3 and drive
shaft 2 are coaxial, one of the two comprising aseating 6 for housing an end of the other. Conveniently, the drawing shaft 3 and thedrive shaft 2 reciprocally mesh internally of thehousing seating 6. - Internally of the housing seating, the drawing shaft 3 and the
drive shaft 2 comprise in combination a coupling which enables any radial loads to be transferred from the drawing shaft 3 to thedrive shaft 2. - The coupling which enables any radial loads to be transferred from the drawing shaft 3 to the
drive shaft 2 comprises transversal sections of the drawing shaft 3 and thedrive shaft 2, which are complementarily shaped and fitted into one another. They thus enable correct centring of theshafts 2 and 3. - Internally of the
housing seating 6, said drawing shaft 3 and saiddrive shaft 2 comprise in combination cogged transmission means for transmitting the drive torque from the drawing shaft 3 to thedrive shaft 2. - The cogged means act on a
first portion 9 of theshaft 2 and of the shaft 3. The complementarily shaped sections for the transmission of radial loads act on a second portion 90 of theshaft 2 and the shaft 3 (as previously mentioned, the second portion 90 also enables centring of the two shafts). Typically, the first andsecond shafts 9, 90 defined above are adjacent. - In the preferred embodiment the
housing seat 6 is fashioned in said drawing shaft 3. Thedrive shaft 2 thus projects inside the drawing shaft 3. In the preferred embodiment, thedrive shaft 2 has afirst plurality 21 of teeth that mesh with asecond plurality 35 of teeth belonging to said drawing shaft 3. Conveniently, thefirst plurality 21 of teeth project radially from a base away from the rotation axis of the drawing shaft 3, whilst thesecond plurality 35 of teeth project radially from a base toward the rotation axis of the drawing shaft 3. - The first sliding
bearing 41 comprises alubricated bushing 410 solidly constrained to said support structure 4 and in which saiddrive shaft 2 rotates. - Inside the casing 7 there is a lubricating
chamber 70 in communication with said first slidingbearing 41 and said pair ofthrust bearings 71. Thepump 1 further comprises a conduit for feeding lubricant to saidlubricating chamber 70. - This makes it possible to lubricate the
thrust bearings 71 which are facing each other in the lubricatingchamber 70. - Conveniently, the
pump 1 comprises anoil seal 72 which contributes to delimiting said lubricatingchamber 71. Theoil seal 72 extends radially between the drawing shaft 3 and a part of the casing 7. - In the embodiment of
figures 2 and 3 , the drawing shaft 3 comprises ashoulder 30 which is interposed between said pair ofthrust bearings 71 and is fitted between them. Theshoulder 30 is made in a single monolithic body with other parts of the drawing shaft 3. - In the embodiment of
figures 4 and 5 , the drawing shaft 3 comprises acircumferential seating 31 which lies in a plane transversal (preferably perpendicular) to the rotation axis of the drawing shaft 3; aseeger ring 32 integral with the drawing shaft 3 is positioned in part in saidseating 31 and comes out of it radially, encountering at least athrust bearing 71 via at least afirst ring 711 interposed between saidseeger ring 32 and said thrustbearing 71. - The present invention also relates to a functioning method of a volumetric pump, in particular with gears interacting with a fluid transiting through the pump in order to determine an increase in energy thereof. The
pump 1 has one or more of the features described previously. Thepump 1 comprises adrive shaft 2 and a shaft 3 drawing in rotation saiddrive shaft 2. Advantageously, thedrive shaft 2 could be solidly constrained to at least one of the gears. The method comprises the steps of: - neutralising the axial loads present on the drawing shaft 3 by means of at least a
thrust bearing 71 which axially abuts afirst portion 33 of the drawing shaft 3 directly or indirectly by means of at least an interposed element; - transmitting to the
drive shaft 2 the radial loads bearing on the drawing shaft 3; - neutralising the radial loads of the
drive shaft 2 by means of one or more sliding bearings which envelop and support saiddrive shaft 2. - The invention thus conceived enables multiple advantages to be obtained. In particular, it permits a reduction in the overall dimensions of the pump. In fact, the use of sliding bearings rather than roller bearings enables greater compactness (especially in the axial direction of the drawing shaft 3) and cost savings. In particular, the
drive shaft 2 is supported by radial sliding bearings that are used not only to neutralise the radial loads generated by theshaft 2, but also to neutralise the radial loads originating from the shaft 3. The axial loads bearing on the shaft 3 are neutralised by a pair of thrust bearings and are thus not transferred to theshaft 2. - The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variants, all falling within the scope of the inventive concept characterising it. Moreover, all of the details may be replaced with technically equivalent elements. In practice, all of the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may be of any type, according to need.
