Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved gear pump or gear motor, and in particular it relates to an improved end plate arrangement for a gear pump or motor.
  • the gears and the gear shafts in the pump of the present invention are mounted very rigidly to assure that the gears will rotate about the same geometrical axis as much as possible.
  • the shaft bearings are located outside of the pumping area and rows of needle bearings are provided between each shaft and its respective gear. This arrangement provides rigidity in an extremely compact space. Therefore, since the mass of this extremely rigid gear and shaft structure has been substantially reduced, the effects of centrifugal force on these elements will be reduced proportionally.
  • an end plate which floats in a recess so that it can change its orientation freely (within predetermined limits) with a universal, or three dimensional, movement to maintain its alignment with the end of the gear at all times, even when the gear is moved away from its original geometrical axis by the unevenly applied forces.
  • the end plate also includes a pressure means for exerting a force on the end plate urging the same towards the gear.
  • This pressure means includes structure to compensate for the varying pressures applied to different portions of the end plate on the side thereof facing the gears.
  • the structure of the gear pump or motor end plates is as follows.
  • the gears and gear shafts are mounted compactly and rigidly within the gear pump or motor housing.
  • annular recesses adapted to receive the end plates which are annular in shape. That is, there are four annular recesses, one at each end of each gear.
  • the two annular recesses at the same end of the pump overlap in the area where the gear teeth mesh.
  • the inner circumference of these annular recesses in the housing are spaced radially outwardly from the housing aperture through which the gear shafts pass. Therefore, the gear shafts are mounted independently of the end plates.
  • a substantially annular shaped end plate is received in each of the four annular spaces.
  • the floating universal movement of each end plate in its recess is provided in the following manner.
  • a first sealing ring is mounted in a groove in the rear side of the annular end plate (that is, the side facing away from the gear). This ring performs two basic functions. First, it separates the rear side of the end plate into two sections for a reason to be discussed below. In addition, this sealing ring spaces the end plate from the bottom of the recess, thereby avoiding metal to metal contact between the rear of the end plate and the bottom of the recess.
  • the outer circumference of the end plate also has a circumferential groove therein.
  • a second sealing ring having a diameter larger than the depth of the groove is placed in this groove to space the outer circumference of the end plate from the outer circumference of the annular recess. Consequently metal to metal contact between the outer circumference of the end plate and the recess is avoided.
  • the inner circumference of the end plate is of a diameter slightly larger than the inside diameter of the recess. Consequently, the maximum contact between the inner circumference of the end plate and recess will be a line contact which would occur when the end plate is perpendicular to the gear shaft axis. When the end plate tilts relative to the gear shaft axis, then the end plate will contact the inner circumference of the recess only at two points.
  • the present invention provides an end plate which virtually floats within the recess having metal to metal contact with the recess at most along one axial line and at least at only two points on the inner circumferencial surfaces of the end plate and recess.
  • the invention also includes means for providing pressure forces acting on the rear side of the end plate urging the same toward the gears. This is accomplished by dividing the area behind the end plate into two portions, a high pressure portion and a low pressure portion, behind the high pressure chamber and the low pressure chamber of the device respectively. The seal between the two portions is provided by the said second sealing ring which separates the rear of the end plate from the bottom of the recess.
  • each end plate has formed thereon large improved trap pocket release ports to collect fluids forced from between the teeth of the gears as they intermesh.
  • the two sealing rings could lie in the same radial plane, then the thickness necessary for only one of the two sealing ring grooves would determine the thickness of the end plate.
  • the second sealing ring have at least one pOrtion located very close to the outer circumference of the rear end plate surface.
  • the two sealing rings will overlap at one portion of the plate when viewed in the axial direction. Therefore, the thickness of the end plate should be just large enough to allow for both of the sealing ring grooves.
  • end plates It is also desirable to design the end plates to have a fairly uniform overall shape, free of unnecessary and nonuniform projections. With that construction, centrifugal force will act upon the entire end plate equally, whereas if projections were provided, then centrifugal force would act to a greater extent on the side of the end plate having the projection, thereby tending to unnecessarily tilt the end plate.
  • the end plate of the present invention can be made much more economically than previous end plates.
  • the cost of material is reduced since the end plate would be as thin as possible requiring only sufficient thickness for the sealing ring grooves.
  • the plates may be manufactured by means of pressure die casting leaving only one operation to be made by way of machining, namely, the planing of the front surface of the end plate which is to be placed adjacent the gear.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an improved gear pump or gear motor driven by fluids such as oil or water but also by gas such as steam compressed air or working as an expander wherein the end sealing plates are arranged to float within a recess in the wall of the pump or motor housing thereby virtually eliminating metal-to-metal contact.

  • a hydrostatic coupling 10 for transmitting power from a first shaft, for example, driving shaft 11, to a second shaft, for example, shaft 12.
  • the housing 13 is rigidly connected to the first shaft 11 and has rigidly formed therein a plurality of gear pump units 14.
  • These pump units are comprised of main pump gears 15 and idler pump gears 16.
  • these pump units pump fluid from the low pressure portion 17 of the housing to high pressure chamber 18 from which the fluid flows through passage 19 to valve 20.
  • valve 20 When the valve 20 is open the fluid flows back to the low pressure portion 17 and when the valve is closed the pressure in chambers 18 and 19 builds up until the gears of the pump can practically no longer turn.
  • An inner sun gear is rigidly connected to the shaft 12 and in driving engagement with the main gear 15 of each pump unit 14.
  • valve 20 When the valve 20 is wide open the rotational movement of shaft 11 and housing 13, relative to gear 25, will cause pumping of liquid from 17 to 18. However the housing will merely continue to rotate about the sun gear 25 as the main pump gears 15 roll around gear 25 in planetary fashion. However, if valves 20 are closed, pressure will build up in chamber 18 until the pump gears practically can no longer turn. Rotation of the housing 13 will then cause simultaneous rotation of the sun gear through its engagement with non-turning main pump gears 15. The amount of torque transmitted from the outer housing to the sun gears 25 can to a large extent be varied and controlled by regulating the opening pressure provided by valve 20.
  • FIGURES 3 through 7 illustrate the detailed arrangement of the gear pump and, in particular, the end plate construction according to the present invention.
  • the two gears of the gear pump differ only in that one is in engagement with the sun gear 25 while the other is an idler gear. Otherwise, the structure, purpose and operation of the two gears and their associated end plates are identical. Therefore, the same numerals will be employed to designate like parts on the two separate gears except that the numerals associated with gear 15 will be in the 100 series and only the structure and operation of the elements associated with gear 15 will be discussed in detail.

  • the inner wall 36 of the recess is separated from an aperture 37 in the pump housing 14 through which the shaft 30 and sleeve 31 project.
  • the recess 34 is separated from the portion which supports the shaft 30 and sleeve 31 of the gear.
  • an end sealing plate 40 having an annular peripheral groove around the outer periphery thereof, which groove has an O-ring 42 mounted therein.
  • This O-ring may be of a synthetic material such as Viton.
  • a second groove 43 is formed in the rear of the plate 40 which groove has mounted therein a rear sealing ring 44 having a rearwardly extending lip 45. Ring 44 may also be of a synthetic material such as Viton.
  • FIGURE 4 shows the two O-rings 42 and 142 contacting each other where the plates abut.
  • a plate 47 is placed into the large recess formed by grooves 41 and 141.
  • the end plate 40 floats in recess on rings 42 and 44 avoiding metal to metal contact with the recess except at a point or line contact on hub 36.
  • the plate can tilt about its axis as one side of the plate moves out of the recess and ring 42 slides along surface 38 away from bottom surface and the other side of the plate moves into the recess and the other side of ring 42 moves into the recess.

  • Raised portions 46 of the plate 40, together with the rearwardly extending lip 45 on O- ring 44 divides the rear of the plate into two portions, a high pressure pocket 52 behind the high pressure portion of the gear pump and a low pressure pocket 53 (which includes the entire central hub 36) behind the low pressure portion of the gear pump.
  • Through holes 54 connect pocket 52 to the high pressure side of the pump while through holes 55 connect to the pocket 53 to the low pres sure side of the pump.
  • Notches 59 are provided in the inner perimeter 50 of plate 40 for providing communication of low pressure fluid from the pocket 53 to the front surface of the end plate for reasons to be discussed in more detail below.
  • FIGURE 5 also illustrates the preferred path of the sealing ring 44.
  • the groove for this sealing ring at the pressure side follows the inner periphery 50 of the end plate 40 along an arc indicated by the angle a of approximately to 100.
  • the sealing ring follows a curved path represented by angle ,8 for approximately to It is desirable to place the seal 44 as close to the edge 51 as possible to provide a large pressure pocket 53 having a large moment acting to prevent tilting of the plate by offsetting the tilting moment created by high pressure pocket 52.
  • the grooves also follow the abutting edges 58 and 158. Those portions of the groove between the curved portions are straight line connections.
  • the two rings 42 and 44 shall not lie in the same radial plane, and the plate must be thick enough to accommodate both grooves 41 and 43. See FIGURE 4. Aside from this factor, however, the plates should be as thin as possible to reduce the effects of centrifugal force urging the plates outwardly as much as possible.
  • FIGURE 6 illustrates the front of the end plates and the flow of liquid thereto for purposes of lubrication.
  • Circular grooves 70 are in communication with notches 59 by radial grooves 71 thereby passing low pressure lubricating fluid around the entire inner periphery 50 and also to extensions 72 of grooves 7 to provide lubricating oil on the low pressure side of the pump in pockets 73.
  • high pressure pockets 74 are provided at the high pressure side of the pump.
  • gear pump When the gear pump is employed as a compressor or pneumatic motor (expander) liquid will not be available to lubricate the contact surfaces between the end plates and the ends of the gears. In this instance these contact surfaces can be formed with an anti-friction material.
  • trap pocket release ports 75 provided at the high pressure side of the pump. These trap pocket release ports are larger than trap pocket release ports normally employed. The reason for this is that since under some conditions the speed of the gears will be very high it will also be necessary to allow an increased volume of fluid to escape from the trap pockets between the meshing gear teeth with limited pressure drop. The pressure in the trap pocket increases with the square of the speed and therefore these large pocket release ports will decrease the resistance to oil moving out of the meshing gear teeth. It must be kept in mind that at times these gears will rotate at speeds greater than normal pump speeds. If the trap pocket release ports are not suflicient, pressure chokes strong enough to destroy the bearings will occur. Trap port 76 is also provided on the low pressure side of the plate.
