この種の強制圧接型ポンプとしては、 実公昭 5 5— 1 8 5 4 2号 Γ液体兼 気体の独制圧港型ポンプ Jか'公知である。
上記の強制圧縮型ポンプは、第 4図を参照して、 円筒形状のポンプケース Aと、該ポンプケース Aに対する偏心位 ISに軸架された傷心回転体 Bと、該 僵心 0耘体 Bの放射方向に移動自在でポンプケース Aの内壁と圧接する庄 «I 押送都材 Cとを含み、圧縮押送都材 Cは傷心回 ¾体 Bの放射方向に移動自在 である杆状ローラ 1 0で構成し、 偏心回転体 Bの回転により圧 の容積 を入口側 1より出口倔 2に接近するに従って綰小して気体、液体を圧送する ようになつている。
上記の公知の強制圧縮塑ポンプにおいては、 ローラトローラ支持面とのス ピード差が大きいため、摩耗か大きい問題点がある。 発明の開示
本発 ¾は、偏心回転体に、 その中心部に内部空間を形成するとともに、該 内部空間より偃心回転体の周面へ放射方向に複数個のガイド溝を形成し、前 記偏心面^の内部空間に挿入された中心筒体と、前記ガイド溝に挿入され て放射方向へ移動自在な複数個の周接筒体とを設けて、榷数個の周接筒体を 中心筒体に対し遊星関係位置とし、 周接筒体の外周側の周面をポンプケース の内壁と圧接させ周接筒体の内心側の周面を中心筒体と圧接させて、 周接筒 体を圧縮押送部材として機能させる。 P T/JP / 5
図面の簡単な説明
第 1図は、本願発明の実施例を示す強制圧縮型ポンプの平面視横断方向の 縦断面図であり、第 2図は、第 1図 S— S»による断面図である。
第 3図は、強制圧箱型ポンプの平面視長手方向の縦断面図である。
第 4図は、公知の強制圧縮型ポンプの第 1図同様の擬断面図である。 発明を実施するための最良の形抵
以下、第 1図乃至第 3図に示す実施例にもとづいて、本発明を詳細に説明 する。
縦断面視で円筒形状の内部空間を有するボンブケースと、該ポンプケース に対する偏心位置でポンプケースに tt架された前3円筒形状の内部空間に内 装された傷心回転体と、該僵心回転体の放射方向に移動自在でポンプケース の内壁と圧接する圧箱押送都材とで強制圧縮型ボンプを構成することは、公 知の強制圧縮型ポンプと同様であるが、本発明の実施にあたり、偏心回転体 Bの中心部に内部空間 3を形成するとともに、該内部空間 3より儡心回転体 Bの周面へ放射方向に複数個のガイド溝 4を形成する。該ガイド溝 4に搏入 されて放射方向へ移動自在で軸心方向を偏心回転体 Bの轴心と平行に位置す る祓数個の周接筒体 5を設け、前記内部空間 3に挿入されて接数個の筒体 5 と周接する中心筒体 6を設け、周接筒体 5の外周側の周面をボンブケース A の内壁と圧接させ、周接筒体 5を圧箱押送 ¾mcとして機能させる。
なお、前 33偏心回転体 Bに形成される放射方向の褸数個のガイド潸 4は、 第 1図を参照して、儸心囬転体 Bの軸心 P 1と周接筒体 5の軸心 P2とをとお る線 Z 1に対し、ガイド溝 4の壁面 4 aの延長線 Z2とを平行とする,
懂心回転体 ま、 ¾受 7により、 ポンプケース Aに対し偏心位置で軸架さ れ、艇動装 IB 8により回転駆動され、偏心回転体 Bはポンプケース Aに対し 偏心位 Sにあるが、 中心筒体 βほポンプケース Aの縱断面視で円筒形状の内 部空間の軸心 P 3に位 fiする。第 3図において、 9はシール用の 0リングで ある。 價心面転体 Bの回転に際し、周接筒体 5および中心筒体 6は、常時回おす る。その結果、离接筒体 5の内心側の周面は中心筒体 6と回転しつつ圧接し 、周接筒体 5の外周面の周面は、ポンプケース Aの内壁と回転しつつ圧接し て、ポンプケース Aの内壁と周接筒体 5とは常に回転摩擦となる ·
周接筒体 5は偏心回¾«:のガイド と中心筒体とでその偏心移動量が規 制され中心筒体と周接筒体とは少ない速度差で回転接触する。
信心回転体 Bの回転により圧送室 Qの容種を、入口侧 1より出口佣 2に接 近するに従って縮小して気体、液体を圧送する。
ポンプケースの少なくとも周接筒体と接触する内壁面を弹性部材で製作す ると、 スリラー (微粒物の搬送〉にあたり、 内壁面を変形できて好都合 である。
周接筒体を弾性部材で製作するか、周接筒体を円筒形状とし弾性変形を自 在とすると、僵心回転体 Bの内部空間に対するシール効果を高めることがで きて、 この場合に、周接筒体の直径をガイド溝に対し大とすると、強制的に 榷円形に変形させて周接筒体の直径を綰小することとなってシール効果をよ り ¾めることができる。 産業上の利用可 Igft
以上のように、本発明にかかる強制圧縮型ポンプは、強制圧縮型ボンプの 圧箱押送 ¾¾ίとして埋能する周接筒体は常に回転しつつポンプケース内壁と 接触して移動することで、圧縮押送∞として機能する周接筒体とポンプケ ースの内壁とは常に回 iS¾擦となり、 また、周接筒体は偏心回1^のガイド 溝と中心筒体とでその儸心移動 Sが規制され中心筒体と周接筒体とほ少ない 速度差で回転接勉するので、 ポンプケース内壁および圧縮押送都材のほ耗は 顕著に減少する結果、強制圧縮型ポンプの機能を半永久的に雑持しポンプの 保守を容易にするものである。
