Description
The present invention relates to a fluid coupling, and more particularly to a gas-liquid separating apparatus for separating air mixed with a working fluid of a fluid coupling from a corresponding working fluid.
The fluid coupling is a device for transmitting the rotation of the input shaft to the output shaft through a working fluid existing between the impeller which is the input side impeller and the runner which is the output side impeller. For the working fluid, for example, hydraulic fluid is used. The rotational speed of the output shaft relative to the input shaft can be steplessly changed by increasing or decreasing the amount of working fluid existing between the impeller and the runner.
The impeller and the runner are arranged facing each other, and a fluid chamber is formed between the impeller and the runner. The working fluid in the fluid chamber flows by the rotating impeller, and the flowing working fluid rotates the runner. The amount of working fluid in the fluid chamber is increased or decreased by the scoop tube. The working fluid pumped by the scoop tube is again supplied to the fluid chamber through the working fluid circulation line.
The working fluid flowing in the fluid chamber is agitated with the air in the fluid chamber, so that a mixed fluid of the air and the working fluid is formed. Thus, the scoop tube purges the mixed fluid of air and working fluid. Even when the scoop tube blows the mixed fluid, air in the fluid chamber flows into the scoop tube together with the mixed fluid. The mixed fluid of the working fluid and the air introduced into the scoop tube is supplied to the fluid chamber again through the working fluid circulation line. The air in the mixed fluid supplied from the working fluid circulation line to the fluid chamber pulsates the pressure of the working fluid that is transmitting the rotation of the impeller to the runner, and as a result, the rotational speed of the output shaft connected to the runner fluctuates.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a fluid coupling having a gas-liquid separator capable of separating air from a working fluid with a simple structure.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a scroll fluid machine including an impeller and a runner disposed opposite to each other, a scoop tube for increasing and decreasing an amount of working fluid in a fluid chamber formed between the impeller and the runner, And a gas-liquid separator connected to the working fluid circulating line, for separating the working fluid from the working fluid, the working fluid circulating line extending from the scoop tube to the fluid chamber, Wherein the gas-liquid separator is a cyclone type gas-liquid separator for separating the air from the working fluid by orbiting a mixed fluid of the working fluid and the air.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cyclone type gas-liquid separator includes a cyclone housing into which the mixed fluid flows, and the mixed fluid is introduced into the cyclone housing by the pressure of the working fluid raised by the rotation of the impeller .
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cyclone housing is connected to an air discharge pipe for discharging air separated from the working fluid in a horizontal direction.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cyclone gas-liquid separator is horizontally disposed.
According to the present invention, the mixed fluid of the working fluid and the air flowing through the working fluid circulating line is circulated by the cyclone gas-liquid separating device. Since the specific gravity of the air is lighter than the specific gravity of the working fluid, air can be separated from the working fluid by the difference between the centrifugal force acting on the air and the centrifugal force acting on the working fluid. Therefore, the air can be separated from the working fluid with a simple structure only by connecting the cyclone type gas-liquid separator to the working fluid circulating line extending from the scoop tube to the fluid chamber.
