- FIG. 1 is a cross sectional View of one embodiment 3,716,321 Patented Feb. 13, 1973 ICC of the invention, the piston disposed at the terminal portion of its compression stroke.
- FIG. 2 is an end view of the compressor of FIG. 1 partially in section, valve means removed.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-section of the chamber and piston, the piston disposed approximately halfway through the intake stroke.
- FIG. 4 is identical to FIG. 1, the piston disposed halfway through the compression stroke.
- FIG. 5 is a section through the piston of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 6 is a comparative cross-section of the head portion of the piston showing two embodiments of ring configurations, and of spring retaining devices.
- FIG. 7 is a cross-section along lines 7 7 of FIG. 6.
- FIGS. 8, 9 and l0 are representative explanatory drawings of the ring in its various disposed positions during piston cycling with the circumscribing margin indicated as a dash line.
- FIG. ll being identical to FIG. 4 but disclosing a coating within the compression chamber.
- a compressor 20 includes an outer metal housing 21 with appropriate cooling fins 22 and cylindrical compression chamber 23.
- the compression chamber 23 has a cupola like cylinder head 24 of preferably spherical configuration, with apex (to create a void), the diameter of which is fractionally larger than the corresponding diameter of an upper crown member 33 to be later described.
- a valve means 25 including a small orifice 26 communicates the apex of the cylinder head 24 to a nipple 27 mounted on the housing 21 for subsequent communication to a reservoir (not shown).
- a ball 28 Disposed between the nipple 27 and the orifice 26, to provide sealing of the orifice, is a ball 28 biased by a spring means 29.
- a piston 31 includes a head portion 32 of truncated spherical shape having an upper crown member 33 of arcuate profile and a lower truncated skirt portion 34 with upper and lower surfaces 15 and 30, and a convex perimeter 35.
- the lower skirt portion 34 is rigidly connected to one end of a rigid piston rod 36 while the other end of the rod 36 has a protuberance 37 thereon with orifice 38.
- the orifice 38 accommodates a bearing bushing 39 of suitable type for connection to the throw arm 41 of a powershaft 42.
- the powershaft 42 is connected to an appropriate prime mover 45 such as an electric motor.
- the convex perimeter 35 preferably is a circumscribing ring 43 which is mounted on the skirt portion 34 by appropriate means to be described later.
- the skirt portion 34 is preferably dish shaped accommodating the upper and lower surfaces 15 and 30.
- Channels 47 communicate through the skirt portion to provide a passage for fluid from its lower surface 30 to its upper surface 15 for reasons which will become apparent.
- the upper crown member 33 biasly engages the upper surface 15 to sealingly close the channels 47 but is adapted to disassociate from the upper surface 15 during the intake stroke of the piston 31 to thereby openly expose the channels 47 such that fluid can pass through the channels from the lower portion 44 of the compression chamber 23 to the upper portion 46 thereof as more particularly illustrated in FIG. 4.
- a porous plate or screen 50 is provided across the lower extremely of the lower portion of the compression chamber 23. Filtering of the fluid entering the lower portion 44 from the elements is enhanced by the use of a gauze 65 or other suitable filtering media.
- the biasing of the upper crown member 33 to the upper surface 15 may be accommodated by (referring to the left side of FIG. 6) a flat head screw 48 with underlying spring means 49.
- the skirt portion 34 is constructed such that it has a stem 51 projecting from the upper surface coincident with the axis of the piston 31.
- the spring means 49 is mounted about the stem 51 and washers 52 are placed over the spring means 49.
- the stem 51 is then peened down in the usual manner to form a rivet type retaining lip 53. (See right hand of FIG. 6).
- the operation of the compressor is as follows:
- the powershaft 42 rotates clockwise and causes the throw arm 41 to move the piston 31 up and down within the compression chamber 23, in the following sequence.
- the piston 31 is disposed within the chamber at the terminal portion of the cornpression stroke (dead stop position).
- the powershaft 42 rotates 90 degrees (FIG. 4) the piston 31 is caused to be pulled downward in the chamber 23 while also being tilted to the left as shown.
- Such tilting results because of the fact that the piston 31 is rigid, that is there is no wrist pin between the head portion 34 and the rod portion 36.
- the titling is further accommodated by the convex perimeter 35 which describes the locus of the surface of a spheroid whose diameter is equal to that of the compression chamber 23.
- the width of the convex perimeter 35 more correctly the length of the chord 54 which subtends the convex perimeter, is such that the degree of tilt is accommodated.
- the circumscribing margin of contact 56 between the convex perimeter 35 and the walls of the compression chamber 23 always defines itself on the surface of the convex perimeter 35.
- valve means 25 stops shut the orifice 26 and a vacuum exists in the upper portion 46 (that part of the compression chamber between the apex and the piston head 32).
- a vacuum exists in the upper portion 46 (that part of the compression chamber between the apex and the piston head 32).
- fluid in the lower portion 44 of the compression chamber 23 is drawn through the channels 47, into the upper portion 46 as shown.
- the crown member 33 disassociates itself from the skirt portion 34 to expose the channels 47, and to thereby permit the fluid to flow.
- the ring 43 may be unitary, that is in the form of a solid annulus, in order to accommodate thermal expansion under severe operating conditions, the ring 43 preferably has a lap seam 55 consisting of two correspondingly dependent fingers 57 (FIG. 9) which form a juncture 58 in a plane coincident to the plane perpendicular to the axis of the ring.
- the fingers 57 expose at the extremities thereof an aperturel 59 to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the ring 43 as a result of thermal change.
- the fingers 57 may be juxtaposed one to another so that the juncture 58 is for all practical purposes a seal and yet permit a reasonable size aperture 59.
- the ring 43 is disposed on the lower skirt portion 34 such that the centre of the juncture 58 rests on the pivot axis 61 of the piston head 32.
- the juncture 58 may be described as being intersected (preferably bisecting the juncture 53) at right angles by the plane which intersects both the axis of the piston rod portion 36 and the axis 61 of rotation of the piston 31.
- the juncture 58 may be retained in the position such that the pivot axis 61 narrows it, -by an appropriate holding means such as a hold rod 62 disposed between the ring 43 and the lower skirt portion 34.
- the disposition of the juncture 58 in the manner described insures that no fluid passes between the convex surface 35 and the walls of the cylinder 23, during any portion of the operating cycle of the compressor, especially during the vital compression stroke.
- the composition of the ring 43 should be soft and pliable but wear resistant. It has been found that a suitable material includes tetrafluoride composition such as Teflon, Teflon bronze, glasslilled Teflon and the like. Nevertheless the actual composition for any particular compressor depends upon the wall characteristics of the chamber 23.
- Teflon and Teflon bronze have been found to be satisfactory where the housing 21 is composed of cast steel and the walls of the chamber 23 have been honed, for example, 16 to 24 microns.
- the housing is made of cast zinc, it has been found that by standard copper plating techniques the walls of the compression chamber 23 can be plated with copper, and thereafter plated with a thin coating (0.000 to 0.0001") of nickel which provides a porous and visually dull surface to the walls of the compression chamber 23.
- a ring material of Teflon bronze or for high durability of the ring material, glass-filled Teflon is used, excellent wear resistant properties for the ring are achieved. Further it has been found that glass-filled Teflon is an extremely good material for the upper crown member 33.
- the ring 43 and skirt portion 34 may have different profiles.
- the ring has an interior profile of that of a groove or channel 71 while the skirt portion has a radially extending tongue 72 which fits into the groove 71.
- the skirt portion may have a radially extending groove 73 while the ring may have a flat profile 76 as shown.
- the skirt portion 34 has radially extending arms 77 which accommodate the ring 43, the tips of which are arcuate and somewhat recessed from the loci traced yby the surface of a spheroid the convex perimeter 35 is coincident.
- the compressor disclosed can pump air to a pressure in the neigbourhood of p.s.i. providing of course a sutilciently powerful prime mover 45 is attaced to the powershaft 42.
- larger bore compression chambers 23 for example 2" bores, it has been found that the self resilience of the ring 43 is insufficient to constrain the ring 3 against the walls of the compression chamber 23 to ensure good compression.
- an encircling spring member (not shown) adapted to urge the ring 43 radially outward against the walls of the chamber 23.
- the housing of FIG. 4 is satisfactory, it has been found that in order to accommodate mass production in the casting of the housing 21, the housing preferably is provided with a threaded channel 78 communicating with the apex of the compression chamber 23 as shown in FIG. 2.
- valve means 25 is threaded.
- the valve means 25 has its face 79 shaped into cupola to accommodate the upper part of the upper crown member 33 as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4.
- the compression chamber 23 has on the interior surface thereof a thin coating 60 of wear resistant material.
- the wear resistant material is a zinc compound.
- the zinc compound is a Zinc anodised coating or what is commonly called anodic film on zinc from electroytes containing one or more anions from the group of glass forming elements-B, Al, Si, or P, plus one or more anions from a group of elements such as Cr, Mn, V or Mo.
- More particularly sodium silicate-chromate (SSC), sodium silicate-chromate-vanadate (SSCV) and sodium silicatechromate-manganate (SSCMn) electrolytes for anodising zinc have been used.
- such coating having a range of thickness of 0.0075 to 0.0015 inch, particularly 0.0040 inch provides a satisfactory anodic zinc protective coating, 60, on the walls of the zinc alloy, or coated zinc walls of the compression chamber 23 and as a result improves the wear resistance of the chamber 26 particularly from corrosion, erosion, abrasion and also reduces the friction of the tetratluoride composition circumscribing ring 43 on the walls of the compression chamber 23.
- a fluid compressor including a power shaft, a compression chamber with a circular cross section having cylindrical walls and a cupola shaped cylinder head with apex to create a void, a channel including a valve means therein communicating through said cupola shaped cylinder head with said chamber such that uid within the compression chamber may be ejected therethrough, and
- a piston said piston comprising an essentially hemispheri cal shaped head portion with an upper arcuate crown member and a lower truncated skirt portion which corresponds to a diametrically symmetrical slice'from a sphere with a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the great circle of the skirt portion to dispose a convex perimeter between upper and lower surfaces; a rod portion rigidly connected to said skirt portion, said skirt portion having a channel therethrough communicating the upper and lower surfaces thereof, the diameter of the great circle of the skirt portion corresponding to that of the compression chamber such that a circumscribing margin about the convex perimeter is a circle adapted to frictionally engage the walls of the chamber during reciprocating oscillations of the piston, a biasing means for biasingly engaging the upper crown member with the upper surface of the lower truncated skirt portion to mate said upper crown member and said truncated skirt portion but adapted to disassociate from the skirt portion and to expose said channel during intake strokes of said piston, said crown member having
- the convex perimeter consists of an annular ring having a lap seam for thermal expansion and contraction thereof, said lap seam including two juxtaposed fingers of the ring, establishing a juncture seal between the fingers, said juncture disposed in a plane coincident to a plane perpendicular to the axis of the piston, while the extremities of the fingers expose an aperture to accommodate linear expansion of the ring, said ring held by a holding means, to retain the juncture of the lap seam such that it is intersected at right angles by the plane which intersects both the axis of the piston rod portion and the axis of rotation of the piston.
- the compressor of claim 5 wherein the ring consists of a tetrauoride composition selected from the class consisting of polytetralluoroethylene, polytetra'uoroethylene-bronze and glass-filled polytetrauoroethylene.
