Definitions

  • the present invention relates to rotary apparatus such as pumps, motors, compressors and the like, including two parts rotatable about two parallel axes, respectively, and in which one of the parts, carrying sliding elements, and forming for instance a cylinder block, cooperates with the other, the latter forming for instance a ring which, due to the fact that it turns about an axis different from that of the first part, produces a relative displacement of said sliding pieces, for instance of pistons in the cylinders of said block.
  • the rate of delivery of the pump depends upon the distance between the two axes.
  • both of the rotary parts are driven at the same speed so that the pistons or equivalent elements have no action whatever in the transmission of the rotation.
  • both rotary parts maybe driven from a common driving shaft, through suitable transmissions.
  • the pistons or equivalent elements and the ring which controls their sliding movements in the cylinder block cooperate by means of rollers or the like.
  • rollers are carried by the pis-' tons or equivalent members and the ring is provided with flat plane faces along which said rollers run, respectively. As these faces are always perpendicular to the axes of the respective pistons, all oblique stresses are eliminated and friction is reduced to a minimum.
  • a particular object of the present invention is to provide a variable flow pump of the type above described.
  • a pump in order to vary the flow, it is necessary to vary the distance between the respective axes of the two rotary parts while keeping them driven at the same angular velocity.
  • the axes of the two rotary parts i. e., for instance of an inner cylinder block and of an outer ring, are both movable about a third axis parallel to them and fixed in space.
  • the transmission between at least one of the two rotary parts and the means for drivlng said part is such that the movement of the axis of the driven part about the above mentioned third axis does not involve any rotation of said part about its own axis, so that the cylinders may remain always perpendicular to the corresponding flat faces of the ring.
  • said part when one of the rotary parts of the pump has its axis displaced about the third mentioned axis, said part must carry out'a strictly translatory displacement.
  • the distributor of the pump is mounted in the cylinder block, the movement of the cylinder block produces a displacement of the plane of symmetry of said distributor which no longer coincides with the plane of symmetry of the system. It will readily be understood that this will involve a serious disturbance in the working of the pump.
  • I provide means for automatically correcting the position of the plane of symmetry of the distributor with respect to the position of the plane of symmetry of the whole system. In this way, all the elements remain in the same relative position, as if the displacement of the axis 0! the cylinder block with respect to the axis of the Outer ring took place along a straight line.
  • FIGs. 1 and 2 are two explanatory views illustrating the principle of the machines with which the invention is concerned;
  • Fig. 3 is a diagrammatical view illustrating the conditions to be complied with for ensuring a normal working or the pump according to the invention
  • Fig. 4 shows the transmission means between the driving member on the one hand and the cylinder block and the ring on the other hand;

  • Fig. 8 is a longitudinal vertical section of an embodiment of the pump made according to the invention.
  • Fig. 9 is a vertical cross-section of the Pump of Fig. 8, the left hand side being a section on the line Sci-8a of Fig. 8 and the'right hand side on the line 9b-9b of the same Fig. 8;
  • Fig. 10 is a vertical section on of F18. 8;
  • Fig. 11 is a partial vertical section of a modification.
  • a is a "point which the line "-10 turns about an axis YY and b is a point which turns, with the same angular velocity, about axis ZZ. It is shown that the distance between a and b varies, as these two points turn about their respective axes, from the maximum value M to zero.
  • Many devices are known which are based on this-principle, i. e., the rotation of two parts H and J about special, parallel axes YY and The centers of rotation YY and ZZ are located on a line O- which constitutes the axis of symmetry of the system.
  • the variation of flow is obtained, not by a rectilinear relative displacement of the centers of parts H and J, but by a relative displacement along a circular are having its center fixed in space, at C in Fig. 2 (this point being the'intersection, with the plane of thefigure, of an axis XX parallel to YY and ZZ
  • part J comes into position Ja shown in dot and dash
  • the axis of symmetry of parts R and J then passes from the position shown at O--O into the position Cal-0a.
  • Such a displacement of the axis of symmetry of the parts modifies the positionof the elements of part J with respect to this axis of symmetry.
  • I provide the system with any suitable kinematic connection, such as a complementary fixed axis W--W, capable of creating the necessary mechanical conditions.
  • This axis (which is shown by a point in Fig. 2) is disposed on the circle along which axis ZZ is displaceable, at the intersection of this circle with diameter C, YY. This constitutes a characteristic feature of the invention.
  • Fig. 3 I have diagrammatically shown a pump of the type with 'which the invention is concerned, so as to illustrate the conditions under which the apparatus is called upon to work.
  • XX shows the axis fixed in space.
  • the axis YY about which ring H is rotatable is fixed with respect to XX.
  • axis ZZ is displaced about axis XX.
  • the stroke of the pistons is reduced, since the centers of rotation of ZZ and YY are brought nearer to each other.
  • the drive could not operate properly for the metry of the distributor would be displaced with respect to the axis of symmetry M oi the system. This would cause serious disturbances in the operation of the pump since axis 0-0 must not be considered merely from the geometrical point of view but also from the point of view of the working of the pump. As a matter of fact, the position of-this axis determines, on the one hand, the suction of the pump, and, on the other hand, its delivery.
  • rollers 11, I2, 1:, I4 would be subjected to oblique stresses from the inner wall of said ring.
  • the present invention makes avoid these disadvantages.
  • Fig. 4 shows how this result is obtained, with respectto two of the disadvantages above mentioned.
  • motion is transmited to cylinder block J on the one hand and ring H on the other hand, in such a manner that the two parts H and J are driven at exactly the same angular speed and the adjustments necessary to vary the flow of the pump are made in such a it possible to way, that, when axis ZZ is caused to tum-
  • a disc U is keyed to a driving shaft and transmits the movement thereof on the one hand to the outer ring H and, on the other hand, to the cylinder block J.
  • the transmission is efl'ected as follows:
  • the disc U is provided with two series of circular holes. Three of these holes 1 equidistant from the center X-X of the disc serve for the drive of the cylinder block J, Three other holes III also equidistant from axis X--X, serve for the drive of 'the outer ring H.
  • the cylinder block carries fingers i5 engaged in holes 1, while the ring carries fingers 88 engaged in holes N.
  • the diilerence between the diameter of each circular hole 1 and the diameter of the corresponding finger 55 is equal to twice the eccentricity of the cylinder block, that is to say twice the distance between axis ZZ and axis X-X, or 2E.
  • the distance between axis YY and axis X-X being also equal to E, the difference between the diameter of each hole In and the diameter of the corresponding finger 88 is also equal to IE.
  • each of the two essential parts of the pump to wit the cylinder block and the outer ring, is coupled with the driving disc U in such manner that its axis can be displaced along the arc of a circle about the axis of said disc without, in the course of such displacement, said cylinder block or said ring being rotated about its own axis, that is to say each displaced part carries out a translatory movement.
  • fingers 88 always remain in the same positions with respect to'the corresponding circular holes 1, while fingers 55 may ocupy any position, in tangential contact with the wall of the corresponding circular holes I0, between the positions 55a shown in broken lines (which correspond to a flow equal to zero) and the positions 55 shown in solid lines, which are supposed, for instance, to correspond to the maximum distance between axes ZZ and YY andtherefore to the maximum flow.
  • the inner wall of ring H, on which the rollers 11-14 run is of polygonal section, the number of sides of the polygon being eoual to the number of pistons and such sides being perpendicular to the axis of one of said pistons.
  • ring H and cylinder block J turn exactly at the same speed about their respective parallel axes YY and Z--Z, this perpendicularity of the sides of the polygon with respect to the corresponding piston axes is preserved constantly and no oblique force is exerted by ring H on the pistons. Friction is thus reduced to a minimum.
  • Fig. 5 shows diagrammatically an example in which a cylinder block carrying eight pistons cooperates with a ring H the inner wall of which is of octagonal cross section.
  • This view shows how the rollers carried by the pistons run along the sides of the polygon.
  • lines A1A1, B1B1, C1-C1, Dl-Dl. are perpendiculars to the sides of the octagon passing through the center of ring H; -AA, BB, C-C, D-D are the axes of the piston. It is clear that A-A remains always parallel to Ai-Ai, BB to Bl-Bl, CC to C1-C1, and so on.
  • Fig. 5 also shows that the distributor P is disposed in such manner that its axis of symmetry coincides with the axis of symmetry of the system including parts H and J. This position corresponds to symmetry of the pump: three of the pistons are, in this position on the suction side, and three on the delivery side.
  • Fig. 6 shows in what manner the distributor is kept, according to the invention, always in the plane of symmetry of the system.
  • the end face R of the distributor is provided with a groove S.
  • I provide a pin in fixed position carried by the frame of the pump and extending along axis WW. This axis WW is located on the circumference along which axis ZZ is movable, at the point where this circumference is intersected by diameter YY, XX.
  • Angle YY, ZZ, WW is equal to and angle YY, Zc--Za, WW is also equal to 90, since both of these angles are inscribed in a semicircle. Therefore, angle O, YY, 0a is equal to angle ZZ, WW, ZaZa, since the sides of these angles are respectively perpendicular to one another. .It follows that the groove S of the distributonand consequently the distributor itself, has turned through an angle equal to the angle through which the axis of symmetry of the system has turned so that the axis of symmetry of the distributor has assumed a position to coincide with the new position of the axis of sym' metry of the entire system.

  • Holes I serve to transmit the movement of rotation of driving shaft 2 to thecylinder block J, which is provided for this purpos with three fingers 5 provided with suitable bearings for contacting the walls of the holes, for instance ball bearings 8 as shown.

  • This axis Z-.-Z is movable with respect to axe X--X and Y-Y but its distance from of the pump are reduced, and vice-versa. When the two axes ZZ and YY coincide, the flow is zero.
  • Distributor P is provided with four channels Q, two of which serve for the suction of the liquid which passes through passages into the cylinders and thence, through passages 2
  • the end portion R of the distributor is provided with two orifices iii-l8, one for the inflow and the other for the outflow of the liquid.
