Description

United States Patent 3,139,036 RGTARY PISTGN ACTION PUMPS Daniel F. McGill, 2344 NE. 52nd Ave, Portland, Greg. Filed Sept. 14, 1961, Ser. No. 138,199 12 Claims. (Cl. 1t)3130) This invention relates to rotary piston action pumps, motors, vacuum units and air compressors that will operate with various types of liquids and gases at very high efficiency.
A feature of this invention is that there are only four moving parts including the discharge check valve.
Another feature of this invention is that the velocity of the parts of the pump are reduced to such slow movement relative to that of the operating shaft that the friction and wear is practically nil.
Another feature of this invention is that a rotor is mounted to rotate eccentrically within a circular housing. A second rotor is floatingly mounted to rotate on the eccentric rotor, forming a sealing and rolling contact on the inner wall of the pump housing. When the pump shaft is rotated the second rotor rolls around on the inner Wall of the housing, rotating in the opposite direction to that of the pump shaft. The relative speed of rotation between the second rotor and that of the pump shaft depends upon the length of the vane stroke and the diameter of the second rotor relative to the diameter of the pump housmg.
Another feature of this invention is that the reciprocating vane is mounted in the housing bearing on the second rotor forming intake and discharge chambers with the second rotor sliding over the end of the vane, per revolution of the pump shaft, only equaling the difference in the circumference of the inner wall of the housing and that of the second rotor.
Another feature of this invention is that the pressure transverse loading on the vane is hydraulically balanced out preventing a sliding friction loading against the normal fulcrum point on the low pressure side of the vane slot wall and between the lever arm on the high pressure side of the outer end of the vane and the vane slot wall, preventing a rocking action of the vane from wearing the vane slot wall at these points.
Another feature of this invention is that by floatingly mounting the second rotor on a bearing between face plates preventing transfer of axial thrust from the pump shaft to the second rotor, thereby, making it impossible to hydraulically unbalance the rotor axially.
Another feature of this invention is that the sealing pressure of the vane on the rotor is controlled by the difference in areas exposed to fluid pressure on the outer and inner end of the vane and more particularly by counter-balancing the pressure transverse loading of the vane on the vane slot fulcrum point, permitting the vane to move up and down with little or no friction.
Another feature of this invention is that with the second rotor rolling on the pump housing wall the pressure transverse loading on the rotor is carried by the pump housing wall, thereby, increasing the life of the shaft bearings.
Another feature of this invention is that the problem of cold starts is eliminated by the lack of friction caused by high velocities and unbalanced parts, when using an all metal rotor that rotates with the shaft.
Another feature of this invention is that the cold start problem is eliminated by the lack of friction caused by close fits due to increased oil viscosity, by the flexibility of the rubber mounting on the second rotor.
Another feature of this invention is that by the very slow rotation of the second rotor and the short distance the rotor slides over the end of the vane the friction will be practically nil, permitting the pump to run indefinitely Without servicing.
Another feature of this invention is that by using flexible material on the circumference of the second rotor, such as rubber or synthetic rubber, as the rotor rolls on the inner wall of the pump housing, small grit in the fluid will imbed into the flexible material as the rotor rolls over it without damage to either the rotor or the pump housing wall and release itself to be carried out with the pump discharge by the next revolution of the operating shaft.
Another feature is that a second rotor and end plate between the rotors may be mounted in tandem with the valve, vane and ports at degrees from the first rotor, vane, valve and ports to produce a constant fluid flow.
Another feature of this invention is that a flexible material, such as rubber or synthetic rubber, bonded and vulcanized on the rotor preventing the rubber from rolling and creeping and forms a perfect seal between the rotor, pump housing, end plates and vane permitting the bearings to be grease packed.
Another feature of this invention because of its simplicity the manufacturing cost will be much less than that of other pumps.
Further objects and features of my invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the following detail description of the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a cross section taken through the center of the pump.
FIGURE 2 is a longitudinal section taken on line AA in FIG. 1.
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged vane showing means of counter-balancing the pressure transverse loading.
FIGURE 4 is a cross sectional view of a portion of end plate 7 showing means of automatically cutting out the pump at a prescribed pressure.
In FIGURES 1 and 2 in the drawings numeral 1 represents the pump housing with 2 the shaft and 3 the eccentric rotor formed as part of shaft 2. A suitable seal 2a is provided for shaft 2. End plates 6 and 7 are bolted to housing 1 by bolts 8 with suitable seals at 17 provided. A second rotor 9 is floatingly mounted on hearing 10 on eccentric rotor 3 between end plates 6 and 7 permitting axial movement of shaft 2 and eccentric rotor 3 without effecting the axial movement of rotor 9.
A flexible material 15, such as rubber or synthetic rubber, is bonded and vulcanized on the circumference of rotor 9 and overlapping on the ends of the rotor at 11 and 12 forming a wiping up and down sealing surface between rotor 9 and end plates 6 and 7, for only the length of the vane stroke. The wiping action will be like a squeegee not permitting the grit to pass between the rubber and the end plates as the fluid pressure will hold the rubber tight against the end plates and also prevent leaks into bearings 4, 5 and 10.
Bearings 4, 5 and 10 may be grease packed, which also will form a lubricant for the inner edges of the rubber, at contacts 11 and 12, as the rotor moves up and down forming the pulsating pumping action. Seal 2a around shaft 2 will prevent the grease from leaking out, or dirt from entering to the bearings.
Rotor 9 with rubber vulcanized on its circumference should be from .010 to .020 oversize so that rotor 9 will roll on the inner wall of pump housing 1 and comprress the rubber from .005 to .010 forming a perfect seal and cause rotor 9 to roll in the opposite direction of rotation to that of shaft 2 and eccentric rotor 3. 50 to 60 hardness of the rubber should be satisfactory but experience will tell for different operating conditions.
The relative speed of rotation of rotor 9 to that of shaft 2 and eccentric rotor 3 is determined by the difference in diameters of rotor 9 and the inner wall of housing 1.
Any grit in the fluid being pumped that does not flush out with the fluid will not scratch the pump housing as it will compress into rubber 15 without damage to the rotor "Ice or housing and be picked up by the next shaft revolution to discharge it out through port 25. Under some Working conditions it may be advisable to make ball check valve 27 of rubber so that a perfect seal will always be made.
Vane 19 is mounted in vane slot 20 and bears on rotor 9 at contact 21 forming intake chamber 22 and discharge chamber 23. Intake port 26 leads to intake chamber 22 and discharges through port 24, which leads from pressure chamber 23 when ball check valve 27 is forced open, to discharge port 25. Vane 19 is held to bear against rotor 9 by light spring 28, so that the vane will be held against rotor 9 on contact 21 when the pump is started, or' when pumping with no discharge pressure.
Working fluid pressure is applied to the top of vane 19 in vane slot 20 through port 37 to aid spring 28 and hydraulically operate the vane at high speeds of the pump shaft.
In pumps where it is possible to filter out the grit rotor 9 may be made of all metal by mounting bearing with additional running clearance permitting the transverse pressure loading on the rotor to hold rotor 9 against the inner wall of housing 1 causing it to roll on the inner wall of the housing in the opposite direction of rotation relative to that of operating shaft 2, relieving the transverse loading on the rotor from bearings 4 and 5, thereby, permitting the pump to run much longer without servicing.
The fact that rotor 9 rotates very slowly and that the only sliding action of the rotor over the vane is equal to the difference of the circumference of the inner wall of the pump housing to that of the rotor for each shaft revolution, as the rotor passes from one side of the pump to the other with the vane fully extended, the heat and wear generated will be practically nil.
There will never be any trouble of cold starts even with rubber fitting flush against end plates 6 and 7 because, of the lack of velocity and the flexibility of the rubber flanges 16 on rotor 9 provide enough clearance to prevent a metal to metal contact but close enough to support rubber 15 at contacts 11 and 12. In FIG. 3 an enlarged vane is shown pointing to the means of hydraulically balancing out the pressure transverse loading on vane 19. Transverse pressure loading is against exposed area 18 crowding vane 19 against fulcrum point 36 on the low pressure side of the vane slot wall 20 and reacting on lever arm 18a at the outer end of the vane on the high pressure side of vane slot 20 wall. This tends to cause a rocking action of the vane wearing the vane slot wall at fulcrum point 36 and at the lever arm contact 18a on the opposite side of the vane slot wall. Just a few thousandth of an inch recess formed across the vane at 30 on the low pressure side of the vane and at 31 on the high pressure side of the vane to apply the working pressure is sufficient. Ports 35 leading from pressure chamber 23 to recess 30 and port 36 from recess 30 to recess 31. These poits may be drilled, or grooved across both edges of the vane as shown thereby, supplying lubrication to the edges of the vane.
The top of vane 19 is subject to working pressure in vane slot 20 tending to hold the vane against rotor 9 with area 18 in pressure chamber 23 tending to lift the vane off its seat at contact 21. The diflerence in area forces on the opposite ends of the vane controls the holding sealing force of vane 19 on rotor 9.
With the sum of areas 18 and 31 being equal to area 30 it will completely balance out the transverse loading permitting the vane to float in vane slot 20 with little or no wear on the vane slot walls. For some low pressure installations recess 31 could be omitted and recess 30 will hold the vane against the high pressure side of the vane slot wall with but little wear. The fluid pressure in the top of vane slot 20 should not enter recess 30 or 31, or
there would be a loss in efliciency at the low pressure stage in chamber 23.
In FIG. 4 means are shown to cut out the pump above a prescribed pressure, which may be an advantage for some installations. End plate 7 is provided with valve 38 to close port 37a to vane slot 20. While the pump is operating valve 38 is held open by spring 39 in diaphragm 40 with the working pressure connected to the top of vane slot 20 through port 37. When pressure is allowed to enter port 41 to diaphragm 40 it compresses spring 39 closing valve 38 cutting off the fluid pressure from port 37. Valve 38 is floatingly mounted on rod 38a. Should valve 38 'be closed when vane 19 is extended rotor 9 will force vane 19 back into vane slot 26) by compressing spring 42 and when the fluid in vane slot 20 has been discharged valve 38 will be closed by spring 42. As spring 28 tends to force vane 19 to follow the rotor a vacuum will be formed in vane slot 20 preventing it from following the rotor, thereby, permitting the pump to run completely unloaded. As fluid pressure is released from diaphragm 40 valve 38 will be opened by spring 39 placing the pump back in operation. A suitable seal 43 will prevent fluid from passing in either direction. Vent 44 leads from diaphragm 40 to permit operation of the diaphragm.
Having described the disclosed invention as being the preferred form, it is to be understood that other forms might be adopted, all coming within the scope of the claims which follow.
