Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rotary machine according to the preamble of Claim 1.
- Rotary machines of this kind that works as a motor or a pump have long been known to the art.
- the blades or vanes working in the passageway of the rotary machine are held by means of springs in a normal position against the peripher- al outer wall of the passageway, against which the blades slide as the rotor rotates.
- the blades are also "subjected to centrifugal forces as the rotor rotates, these forces increasing with increasing rotor speeds. Consequently, the frictional forces generated between blade and chamber wall will therefore also increase, as will also wear on the blades. In turn, this results in power losses.
- movement of the blades can be guided with the aid of camming curves, for instance, c.f.
- An object of the present invention is to eliminate these drawbacks, which is achieved in accordance with the invention with a rotary machine having the characteristic features set forth in the following Claims.
- Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view taken on the line I-l in Figure 3
- Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view of the inventive rotary machine taken on the line II-II in Figure 3
- Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the inventive rotary machine taken on the line III-III in Figure 2
- Figure 4 illustrates schematically a practical application of the invention.
- the illustrated exemplifying embodiment includes a housing 1 having a generally circular-cylindrical shape and including a peripherally extending passageway 2.
- the passageway 2 includes a fluid inlet 3 and a fluid outlet 4, wherein the fluid concerned may be liquid or a gas for instance.
- a constriction 5 is located in the proximity of the inlet 3, between said inlet and the outlet 4.
- the housing 1 accommodates a rotor 6 which is mounted on a shaft 7 rotatably journalled in bearings 8 in the housing 1.
- the rotor 6 is disc-shaped and may have any desired thickness, and the sides of the rotor are extended radially to form the passageway 2 between said rotor and the peripheral wall of the housing.
- the rotor includes two diametrically opposed slots 9, each of which receives a flat slide or blade 10, which is held in position with its outer edge tangential to the peripheral wall of the housing, by a spring 11.
- the blade, or vane, 10 is configured so as to com ⁇ pletely cover or fill the profile of the passageway 2 defined between the housing 1 and the rotor 6, and may be sealingly displaced in a radial direction.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a cam 12 which has a curve 13 formed in a certain manner, and which is fixedly mounted on the housing 1.
- Each blade 10 is provided with a respective axle 14 which extends through a slot in the side of the rotor 6 and beyond said slot, and which carries a roller 15 externally of the rotor on a level with the cam 12.
- the roller 15 engages the cam 12 and runs along the curve 13. Because the roller 15 is connected with the blade 10, the blade will follow the radial movement of the axle 14, i.e.
- the blade is drawn into the rotor 6 upstream of the outlet 4 - see Figure 1 - and is held withdrawn during its passage past the restric ⁇ tion 5, whereafter the cam releases the roller, and therewith the axle 14, so that the blade will again fills the cross-sectional area of the passageway 2.
- the rotor 6 also includes two trunnions 16 which each pivotally support a counterweight 17.
- the opposite part 18 of the counterweight 17, or the arm of said counterweight, which is opposite in relation to the trunnion 16 coacts with the associated blade, for instance via its shaft 14 as illustrated in Figure 2.
- the arm 18 thus lies against the shaft 14 on the radially outer side thereof in relation to the rotor 6 and is therewith able to slide against the shaft.
- the counterweights 17 are therewith splayed radially outwards by the centrifugal forces acting thereon.
- the oppositely acting moment of force exerted by the arm 18 on the counterweight 17 will balance the centrifugal force acting on the blade 10 including the shaft 14 and the roller 15.
- the mass of the counterweight 17 can be adapted to obtain optimal coaction between the blade 10 and the housing wall defining the passageway 2, with regard to sealing and friction.
- the driving forces of the rollers on the cam 12 are also reduced, which further optimizes the function of the inventive rotary machine.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a practical application of the invention.
- the reference numeral 19 identifies an air pump or compressor
- the reference numeral 20 identifies a motor constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
- the reference numerals 3 and 4 identify respectively the inlets and outlets of the two units.
- the outlet of the compressor 19 is connected to the inlet of the motor 20 by a combus- tion chamber 21.
- the rotors of the compressor 19 and the motor 20 are mounted on a common shaft 7. In operation, air of combustion is thus drawn in through the inlet 3 and compressed for ignition in the combustion chamber 21.
- the hot gases of combustion are passed through the inlet 3 of the motor 20 so as to drive the rotor thereof, and exit through the outlet 4.
- the shaft 7 drives suitably a fuel pump for delivering fuel to the combustion chamber 21, in which the fuel is ignited.
- a fuel pump for delivering fuel to the combustion chamber 21, in which the fuel is ignited.
- a gear may be mounted between the compressor and the motor.
- the illustrated and described embodiment of the invention can be modified and varied in several ways within the scope of the invention and that the drawings do not illustrate the ultimate constructive solution of the inventive rotary machine with regard to mounting or fitting the various components, or the placement of packings and seals, etc.
- Such construc ⁇ tional details are conventional details which belong to the designer.
- the rotary machine can be provided with more than two blades, in accordance with conventional techniques.
- the housing may be rotatable and the rotor stationary in accordance with conventional methods and conventional principles, in which case the inlet and the outlet will extend from the axle centre radially within the stationary rotor and discharge into the passageway. The outlet will extend from the axle centre radially within the stationary rotor and discharge into the passageway.
- the aforesaid cam and cam roller or cam follower may also conveniently be arranged symmetrically on the other side of the rotor, to obtain a more uniform force distribution and less wear.
