(Cl. S-136) 3 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in rotary pumps and has particular reference to rotary pumps having reciprocating abutments.
The principal object of the present invention is the provision of a rotary pump having reciprocating, radially disposed abutments provided with contact edge portions adapted to work against outwardly converging arcuate bearing surfaces of uniform radial distance from the axis of rotation of said abutments.
Another object of the invention is the provision of rotary pump having radially disposed abutments or vanes normally urged to the operating position by a resilient member and adapted to be moved to the inoperative position by a segmental cam against the action of said resilient member. f
A further object is the provision of a rotary pump having operating abutments so mounted and operated in a rotor housing as to eliminate most of the objectional leakage of liquid between the relatively movable parts.
Other objects are sturdiness and simplicity of construction, efciency and ease of operation and adaptability for reversal of direction of rotation and for use as a reversible motor.
With these objects in view, as well as other objects which will appear during the course of the specification, reference will be had to the drawings wherein:
Figure 1 is an inverted view of a rotary pump embodying this invention.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the pump with one of the casing members removed and certain parts in section.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line III-III of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a detached elevational View of the rotor and associated parts.
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on line V-V of Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional View taken on line VI--VI of Fig. 2.
Throughout the several views like reference characters refer to similar parts and the numeral Ill designates a pump comprising two similar housing members I2 and I4. Housing members I2 and I4 have like chamber recesses I6 and I8 respectively which when members I2 and I4 are properly fitted together form a symmetrical chamber for the operation of a rotor and associated parts. Housing member I2 is provided with an annular, radial flange 28, faced on its inner side to present an annular flange 22 and agroove 24. Housing member I4 is provided with an annular,
For convenience of manufacture and assembly rotor 46 comprises two circular disc- like sections 52 and 54 joined together by means of machine screws 56. Each of the sections 52 and 54 are provided with a series of oil grooves 58 concentric with the shaft 44 and disposed adjacent their respective peripheries.
That portion of the housing chamber beyond the rotor 46 is symmetrically formed by members I2 and I4 by transversely curved end walls 66 and outwardly converging substantially frustoconical wall sections 62 tangent therewith. The rotor 46 mounted as described in housing I0 forms a substantially annular working chamber 64 having a double port 66 at its one side provided with passageways 68 and 'I6 which are of a crosssectional area substantially equal to that of working chamber 64. A partition I6 separating passageways 66 and 66 extends into working chamber 64 and is provided with an arcuate bearing section 'I2 positioned to contact the periphery of rotor 46 with which it is concentric. This structure is such that fluid delivered through one of the passageways 68 or I6 will be delivered to annular chamber 64 and out through the other passageway. Since this pump mechanism is symmetrical in form it is quite apparent that it will Work in substantially any manner regardless of the direction shaft 44 is rotated, furthermore, if fluid under pressure is delivered to the device, it may be used as a reversible motor.
Radially disposed blades or vanes I4 are slidably mounted in radial slots 'IG formed in rotor 46 which are adapted to be moved to and in a position in the path of fluid delivered to the annular working Vchamber 64, whereby fluid is pumped therefrom. Each vane is provided with a compression spring 18 mounted in a pocket 80 formed in the rotor, which normally urges the vane outwardly to contact the inner wall of the engine housing. It will be noted that the edge 82 of the vane 'I4 conforms to the inner circular wall of the housing l0.
The movement of vanes 'I4 are controlled by a cam 84 which are inset in the-inside walls of housing l Il and extend into the housing chamber, as shown. It will be noted that an annular groove 86 is formed in each side of the rotor 46 to receive the cam member 84. Each vane Hlzhasa side slot 88 formed in each of itsedges adjacent its inner end to cooperate withsaid camwhereby the vane is forced inwardly against 4the action of spring 18 to miss the arcuate: bearing.sectionl at each revolution of the rotor in the housing. The end portions 90 of the cam are positioned in the path of travel of the-slots l in vanes 14 and areso tapered that they will`freely enter saidfslts yand cause the vanes to be gradually drawninwardly in such amannerthat the edge 82 of the 'vane will never contact any surface eXceptthe uniform inner wall of the housing Ill. The vanes vI4 do not abut the inner wall of thehousing, when the rotor'is moving in the 'direction'indicated by the arrow in Fig. 2, until the Avane has reachedfsubstantially the point Cpand leaves the wall-at point D.
Referring to Fig. Y6, it'will 'be apparent that that portion of the Avane 'M whichcontacts the inner workingsurface of the housing' is inclined outwardly toward the center of the vane at all points outside the peripheral edge-of the rotor 46 so that as the vane is forced outwardly by spring -all portions of the extended vparts Yof the `vane will be forced against the inner wall of the housing whereby it will be Constantly urged to a workingt in the housing. lNaturally the outer central portion of the Vvane Will-be 4forced more firmly against the working -wall and will be worn down more rapidly than the inclined side edges of the vane. However, this s-tructure of the vane and the working wall will be such that a substantially perfect t will be obtained" between the vane and the inner working wall of the housing to preclude objectionable leakage of liquid therebetween. `It vwill be noted in the present inventionthat the-cam M extends only a-portion'of thedistance about the shaft and does not interfere in any manner with the free action or" thespring T3-'to seat ther vanes during the power stroke of the pump. During the operation of the pumpfand as the vanes are recipro- Acated there will. be some movement of the liquid to and'irorn `thecenter portion of the rotor and to better equalize the pressure in the various spring pockets, an annular groovel. isi provided ,in the central portion of the rollervwhich interconnects all of said pockets, as shown. The 'double port B6 extends through a neck 92 having an annular ilangez`94 by means of `which the pump'may'be attached-to any suitablerconnector for carrying liquid toandfrom the pump.
