Definitions

  • This invention relates to screw rotor machines comprisring a housing with intersecting parallel bores and inlet and outlet passages communicating with said bores through inlet and outlet ports arranged in the housing and having main and gate rotors with at least three helical threads and grooves on the main rotor intermeshing with at least four helical threads and grooves on the gate rotor.
  • Said main and gate rotors cooperate with one another and with the walls of said bores to define pockets for a working fluid moving from the inlet towards the outlet ports of the housing.
  • said threads and grooves of the main rotor lie substantially outside the pitch circle of the main rotor and said main rotor threads have a generally convex profile on the leading and trailing flanks
  • said threads and grooves of the gate rotor being at least one more than the main rotor threads and grooves and lie substantially inside the pitch circle of the gate rotor and said gate rotor threads have generally concavely curved profiles on the leading and trailing flanks.
  • Screw rotor machines of this type may also operate as vacuum pumps, gas meters and similar devices, or as pumps or motors operating on incompressible fluids such as oil, water or other material.
  • Montelius suggests a screw rotor machine with a main and a gate rotor with threads of the above type and in which a root portion of the main rotor thread cooperates with a crest portion of the gate rotor thread to provide rolling contact along said portions which are situated close to the pitch circles. Between said portions a band seal is consequently obtained and the root portion is in a manner well known from cycloid gears produced by travelling generation i.e. by points moving along the crest portion of the gate rotor thread.
  • Montelius discloses a single threaded main screw rotor and a double threaded gate screw rotor which for this and other reasons is not suitable for screw rotor machines according to the invention.
  • Lysholm has suggested a screw rotor machine in which the main rotor has threads with convex profile which are situated outside the pitch circle of the main rotor and the gate rotor has threads with concave profile which lie inside the pitch circle of the gate rotor.
  • the leading flank of the main rotor thread in Lysholms machine has circular profile and the trailing flank of said thread has a profile generated by the outermost edge of the leading flank of the gate rotor.
  • the trailing flank of the gate rotor threads in Lysholms machine has a circular profile corresponding to the circular profile of the leading flank of the main rotor thread.
  • Lysholms profile as above described and illustrated in FIGS. 2-5 in his patent has the advantage that it produces a continuous sealing line between high and low pressure spaces in the machine thus avoiding leakage except through said seal during the operation of the machine.
  • Lysholms profile however, has the disadvantage that the edges of the gate rotor thread which generate the trailing flanks and part of the leading flanks of the main rotor profile and during operation are intended to form space packing between the rotors are very difficult to manufacture with enough accuracy to give the sealing characteristics which are needed to obtain an acceptable efficiency of the machine. Also the same edges are extremely exposed to damage during operation and any damage done to said edges spoils a considerable length of the sealing line and thereby reduces the eificiency of the machine.
  • r is the radius of the circular main and gate rotor flank portions b c and b c
  • the portion c -di of the main rotor flank is generated by 0 on the gate rotor thread.
  • Addendum f fits in dedendum f
  • the addendum beyond the pitch circle of the gate rotor and the dedendum inside the pitch circle of the main rotor are shown very much larger in proportion to the radii of the rotors than would be desirable in practice. This is what Lysholm says about the size of this modification.
  • the arrows WM and w indicate main and gate rotor directions of rotation.
  • Lysholm machine is designed to operate with small clearances everywhere between the main and gate rotors and between the housing and the rotors to form the above mentioned space packing alongthe sealing line.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross section contour similar to FIG. 3 of a main rotor thread and meshing gate rotor groove end threads of one embodiment of Nilssons machine.
  • the profiles of both rotors have symmetrically shaped leading and trailing flanks.
  • the gate rotor profile is shaped as a circular arc a -c d with the radius 1' inside the pitch circle and has the above mentioned addendum portion f outside the pitch circle.
  • the main rotor profile complements the gate rotor profile in so far as the main potrion of the flanks adjacent the crest is a circular arc b c d mating the one on the gate rotor.
  • the root portions ti -b and dr-1 of the main rotor flanks are generated by the points a and d on the gate rotor pitch circle and the dedendum portion f inside the pitch circle fits the addendum portion of the gate rotor profile.
  • M and G again indicate main and gate rotor axes.
  • R and R are again main and gate rotor pitch circle radii and R and R bore radii of main and gate rotor bores.
  • Nilssons machine is also designed to operate with small clearances to form a space packing everywhere between the main and gate rotors as well as between the rotors and the housing.
  • e f is a leading root portion of the main rotor thread generated by a straight line portion d e of the gate rotor thread.
  • b -c on the main rotor thread is generated by the point b of the gate rotor thread and b c on the gate rotor thread by the summit c of the main rotor thread.
  • c -d on the main rotor thread and c -d on the gate rotor thread are circles with radius r struck on the point P.
  • d e on the main rotor thread is generated by the point d of the gate rotor thread.
  • Lysholms original profile is that in the LS1 profile the point b on the gate rotor profile which is generating the trailing flank of the main rotor profile is moved inside the pitch circle.
  • the corresponding part (1 -12 of the main rotor profile is generated by the line a b i.e. by a point continuously moving along said line.
  • One object of the present invention is to obtain a screw rotor machine in which seizing of the rotors is practically avoided by providing a profile wherein:
  • the gate rotor does not need to be driven externally but is continuously driven in the rotation direction by the internal fluid pressure and this internal driving torque does not exceed what the gear portions of the profiles may safely carry. This also means that in oilflooded compressors or other machines handling a lubricating medium synchronizing gears may be dispensed with without any risk of wear of the rotor profiles.
  • Another object of the invention is to increase the eificiency of the screw rotor machine by providing a profile wherein:
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal vertical section and FIG. 2 a plan view of a typical screw compressor, the rotors of which can be carried out with the above mentioned known profiles as well as with a profile according to the present invention.
  • FIGS. 3-5 illustrate as above described the Lysholm, Nilsson and LSI profiles, respectively, in order to give substantially the present state of the art.
  • FIGS. 6a and b show diagrammatically and with a heavy line the sealing lines on the main and gate rotors of the LS1 profile shown in FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 60 is a transverse section through the rotor of FIG. 6a.
  • FIG. 6d is a transverse section through the rotor of FIG. 6b.
  • FIG. 7 illutrates a cross section contour similarly as in FIGS. 3-5 of a main rotor thread and meshing gate rotor groove and threads of what might preferably be called the basic profile according to the present invention.
  • FIGS. 8a and b are views of the sealing lines or areas on the main and gate rotors with the profile shown in FIG. 7.
  • FIG. 80 is a transverse section through the rotor of FIG. 8a.
  • FIG. 8d is a transverse section through the rotor of FIG. 8b.
  • FIG. 9 shows on an exaggerated scale the gate rotor profile of the invention together with a theoretical profile with constant clearance in order to indicate the variations of the clearances according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 10a;f show diagrammatically the meshing main and gate rotors in different relative rotor positions.
  • FIG. ll shows diagrammatically a cross section and FIG. 12 a longitudinal section of the rotors of the invention with the sealing lines between volumes of different pressures indicated in rotational projection with a view to illustrate the surfaces on the gate rotor profile where two opposite flanks of the engaging threads are exposed to different pressures which cause driving or braking torques on the rotors.
  • Screw rotor compressors according to the invention may have one or more main rotors and one or more gate rotors cooperating therewith and with the housing to provide working pockets which change volume as they move along the screw rotors from an inlet port to an outlet port.
  • Screw rotor machines according to the invention may, furthermore, be singlestage, two-stage or multiple-stage machines, and the number of compression stages, for instance, does not influence the character of the screw rotors according to the invention.
  • the illustrated machine is a single-stage screw rotor compressor with one main rotor and one gate rotor mounted for rotation in intersecting bores with parallel axes in a housing and having intermeshing helical threads and grooves.
  • the screw compressor illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a housing which comprises a lower portion 31, an upper portion 32, a two-piece inlet end portion 33, 34, and a synchronizing end portion 35. Air or other gaseous fluid is supplied to the screw compressor housing 31, 32 through the inlet connection 36 and compressed air or other gaseous fluid handled by the compressor leaves the compressor through the outlet connection 37.
  • two screw type rotors 38 and 39 are mounted for rotation in the intersecting bores 10 and 11, the rotor shafts being carried in bearings 12 and 13, which may be plain hearings or hell or roller bearings.
  • the rotors are fixed in position endwise by thrust bearings 14, which may be plain cam hearings or ball or roller bearings capable of taking axial thrust.
  • Conventional sealing rings 15 and 16 are provided around the shafts at the rotor ends to prevent leakage into or from the compression chambers.
  • the compressor is provided with synchronizing gears 17, 18. 19 and 20 are oil sealing rings which prevent oil leakage from the bearing housings.
  • From the inlet connection 36 an inlet passage 21 which is carried out with two branches around the rotor shafts leads to an inlet port 22 communicating with the bores 10, 11.
  • An outlet port indicated at 23 in the lower end portion and the bottom of the housing 31 communicates with an outlet passage 24- and the outlet connection 37 of the compressor.
  • the compressor may be driven by any suitable source of power, such as a diesel engine or an electric motor, over a shaft connection 25.
  • the inlet and outlet ports may be shaped in various different ways and, for instance, as illustrated in my application for Screw Rotor Machines filed concurrently with this application.
  • FIGS. 712 The shape of the main and gate rotors 38, 39 which is characteristic of the present invention is disclosed in FIGS. 712.
  • FIG. 7 is a cross section of a portion of the housing 31, 32 and intermeshing threads and grooves of the rotors 38 and 39 and shows the general shape of the profiles without consideration to the clearances and seals which are more particularly illustrated in connection with FIGS. 810.
  • the same reference letters have been used in FIG. 7 as in the cross section contours of known screw rotor machines illustrated in FIGS.
  • R and R are the main and gate rotor pitch circle radii and R and R are the bore radii of the main and gate rotor bores.
  • the bore radius R of the gate rotor is in the illustrated embodiment the same as the pitch circle radius R of the gate rotor.
  • a b -c is the main rotor trailing flank and a b c the leading flank of the gate rotor.
  • a b is a band seal portion formed as a straight line and is a portion of a radius of the gate rotor.
  • b2C2 is without consideration to the clearances generated by the summit c of the main rotor thread.
  • (l -b is the trailing root portion of the main rotor thread and is without consideration to the clearances generated by the straight line portion a b of the gate rotor thread so that a band seal is obtrined between said portions.
  • the point a is generated by a and the point b by b also without consideration of clearances.
  • the portion b c of the main rotor trailing flank is generated by the point 11 or the inner end portion of the band seal portion a b on the gate rotor also without consideration to the clearances.
  • the portion of the main rotor thread from c d is circular with a radius r struck on the point P which is the point of intersection between the pitch circles.
  • the portion ai -e of the leading main rotor thread is without consideration to the clearances generated by a portion d e which is a straight radial portion of the trailing gate rotor thread.
  • the portion c d of the trailing gate rotor thread is a circular arc with substantially radius r which with suitable clearance conforms with the arc c d
  • FIGS. 8a and 1) illustrate the sealing between a pair of screw rotors such as disclosed in FIG. 7 and it should be noted that an uninterrupted sealing line is obtained substantially all the way to the line of intersection 26 between the intersecting bores 10 and 11.
  • the blow hole obtained in connection with the above mentioned known compressor is here as in the above mentioned LSI-compressor reduced to a minimum of no importance since the sealing lines between the rotors meet substantially with the line of intersection 26.
  • the relative quality of the seal along the sealing lines of the profiles according to the invention are indicated by the number of parallel dot and dash lines in FIGS. 8a and b and are referred to later on for comparison with FIGS. 11 and 12.
  • FIG. 9 shows in somewhat exaggerated scale an example of a gate rotor profile according to the invention and a constant clearance profile shown in dotted lines and illustrates the intended variations in clearances for a gate rotor as compared with a conventional thread when cooperating with a main rotor profile.
  • the same clearance variations may of course be obtained by suitable modification of the main rotor profile instead or even by different combinations of modifications of both rotor profiles and all such combinations which give the cooperating characteristics according to this invention are intended to be included under the scope of this patent.
  • FIG. 10 shows cooperating parts of rotor profiles according to the invention in different angular positions and illustrates the varying clearances.
  • the clearances in various portions of the profiles are marked Cl in FIGS. 10af with a number and in a suitable embodiment Cl 1 is smaller than Cl 7, Cl 5 and Cl 4; Cl 2 is smaller than Cl 4 and Cl 8 is smaller than Cl 5 and Cl 6.
  • the clearance Cl 4 between the circular arc portions c d and c d is according to the invention made large enough to prevent seizing in this area, and the clearance Cl 2 is smaller than the clearance Cl 4 so that any contact due to disturbances in the synchronization, for example, occurs between the root portion d e and the portion d 2 of the gate rotor in areas where the relative movement between said portions is small. Furthermore, the clearance Cl 1 is made less than Cl 7 and consequently any contact due to bearing wear or distortion of the rotors transversely to the rotor axes results in nondangerous rolling contact between the gate rotor crests and the cylindrical bottom of the main rotor grooves.
  • the size of the variations of the clearances in the different areas as compared to conventional constant clearance machines may amount to about :30%. This means that the clearance between a "e and the bottom of the main rotor grooves, between a "-b and a b on the main rotor trailing flank, and between d e and al -e on the main rotor leading flank is about of the clearance in conventional constant clearance machines.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate in axial view and rotational projection the sealing lines between the intermeshing portions of the rotors 38, 39 and show how the compressed gas acts on the gate rotor lobes in the rotation direction. For this purpose all points on the sealing lines are shown at their correct radial distances from the gate rotor centerline as indicated by the arrows x, y, z.
  • FIGS. 11 and 12 corresponds to the point P (2 in FIG. 7, 2 to d 3 to c 4 to b 5 to I2 and 6 to P (a The same numbers as in FIGS. 11 and 12 are used in FIG. 8b to facilitate the comparison between the sealing lines in these views.
  • the profile parts a b and d -e in FIG. 7 serve to show how the projections on the side views are taken looking on the respective rotor. It would be obvious that with the rotational direction Wm, Wg indicated in FIG. 7 the pressure difference within the area A will cause a driving action and the pressure difference within the area B will cause a braking action on the gate rotor.
  • the profile part a b may preferably be chosen 550% of the depth of the gate rotor thread and d e may be chosen 525% of Said depth. To make the profile portion a b short means that the blow hole area is small and the sealing line long.
  • a long portion a -b means a bigger blow hole and a shorter sealing line of better quality.
  • the blow hole area will increase in proportion to the square of the diameter whereas the length of the sealing tline increases in proportion to the diameter.
  • the optimum length of the profile part a b depends upon the rotor dimensions.
  • the manufacturing tolerances which will influence the leakage through the space packing along the sealing line more than the leakage through the blow hole has to be taken into consideration when choosing the length of the part a b As an example it may be mentioned that for a rotor diameter of 200 mm.
  • the best length of the profile part a b has been found to be about 10% of the depth of the gate rotor thread.
  • the length of the profile portion d -e may thereafter be chosen to give the desired size of the area A so that a suitable driving torque is obtained on the gate rotor. Since the torque required depends upon the rotor bearing friction the use of antifn'ction bearings will be advantageous for the efflciency of the compressor also by indirectly reducing the internal leakage by allowing the profile portion 12-62 to be increased, which also results in a somewhat shorter sealing line.
  • the length of the profile part d e may preferably be about 25% of the gate rotor thread depth.
  • the number of threads of a compressor according to the invention must on the main rotor be at least three and the rotor length and lead such that the main rotor root portion (l -b is in constant mesh with the band seal portion a b of the gate rotor at least in three cross sections along the rotors.
  • the gate rotor must have at least one more thread than the main rotor.
  • the present invention has given the surprising result that the efiiciency of a screw compressor built with normal manufacturing tolerances for serial production is increased by several percents so that a screw compressor may be built according to the invention which is almost competitive with a reciprocating piston compressor with regard to efliciency. It has also been found that in the case of oil flooded compressors in which cooling and lubricating and sealing oil is injected for taking care of the compression heat and for providing a seal between the rotors and the housing synchronizing gears may be dispensed with without causing any wear of the rotor portions a b (l -b or d e d e which can destroy the important clearances.
