Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the area of vane pumps, more particularly, the present invention relates to an articulated vane pump having an inner rotor and an outer rotor, along with a vane used to transfer rotational force from the inner rotor to the outer rotor, as well as provide conjugate action between the inner and outer rotors.
  • AVP articulated vane pumps
  • vanes positioned in a series of corresponding chambers in an inner rotor with the vanes also being connected to an outer rotor to pump fluid as the inner rotor is driven by a shaft.
  • the inner rotor and outer rotor are on parallel offset axes, and as the inner rotor rotates, the vanes slide in and out of the chambers drawing in fluid from an inlet port as the vanes slide out of the chambers and driving fluid into an outlet port as the vanes slide into the chambers.
  • conventional articulated vane pumps have no provision to ensure that the driving action between the inner rotor and outer rotor is conjugate.
  • conjugate is defined as the inner rotor and the outer rotor both having a constant angular velocity.
  • the inner rotor and the outer rotor are of different sizes, therefore, the linear velocities of the inner and outer rotor may be different, but the angular velocities can be the same. If the driving action between the inner rotor and outer rotor is not conjugate, this can lead to speed variations in the outer rotor which can result in increased mechanical noise and elevated impact loading.
  • conventional articulated vane pumps have no cam profile modification to address conjugacy in the presence of manufacturing tolerances. Variations in manufacturing tolerances can intensify any problems with the basic cam profile geometry.
  • the present invention is an improvement over a conventional articulated vane pump (AVP).
  • the present invention includes an inner rotor having at least one chamber for receiving at least one vane, and a rotatable outer rotor circumscribing the inner rotor and pivotably connected to the vane.
  • the at least one vane operably connects the inner rotor and the outer rotor such that the inner rotor and the outer rotor will have substantially the same angular velocity.
  • Figure 1 is a side sectional view of an articulated vane pump having conjugate action between the inner and outer rotor, according to the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is an enlarged view of a vane used in an articulated vane pump having conjugate action, according to the present invention.
  • An articulated vane pump (AVP) incorporating the present invention is shown in the Figures at 10.
  • the AVP 10 has a cover (not shown) which includes an inlet port and an outlet port.
  • the AVP 10 also includes an input shaft 12; the input shaft 12 rotates about a first axis 14 and drives an inner rotor 16.
  • the inner rotor 16 is circumscribed by a series of equally spaced chambers 18.
  • the chambers 18 receive a series of vanes 20; the vanes 20 have a base portion 22, a neck portion 24, a shelf 26, and a vane head 28.
  • the base portion 22 has a first radius 30 and a second radius 32 located about a first center point 34.
  • the vane head 28 is located about a second center point 36.
  • the neck portion 24 includes a constant speed cam surface 38, and a coast surface 40.
  • the chambers 18 have an upper edge 42 which defines the shape of the constant speed cam surface 38.
  • the inner rotor 16 is surrounded by an outer rotor 44 which has a series of recesses 46 for receiving the vane heads 28 of the vanes 20.
  • the vane heads 28 are permanently affixed to the recesses 46, but are allowed to swivel therein.
  • the outer rotor 44 rotates on a second axis 48 which is parallel to the first axis 14, but is offset to create a pumping action which will be described further.
  • the chambers 18 have an upper edge 42 which is used to define the shape of the constant speed cam surface 38.
  • the constant speed cam surface 38 is used for receiving rotational force from the chamber 18, as well as providing a smooth transition between the vanes 20, as the vanes 20 receive rotational force from the chamber 18 in a sequential manner.
  • the upper edge 42 of the vane 20 will slide along a portion of the constant speed cam surface 38 as the inner rotor 16 rotates.
  • the shape of the constant speed cam surface 38 terminates into the shelf 26.
  • the location of the first center point 34, second center point 36, the width of the chamber 18 (which defines where the upper edge 42 will be relative to the first and second center points 34,36) all have an effect on the shape of the constant speed cam surface 38.
  • the shape of the constant speed cam surface 38 is defined by how the position of the upper edge 42 changes relative to the first center point 34 and the second center point 36 as the inner rotor 16 and outer rotor 44 rotate.
  • the constant speed cam surface 38 is shaped such that conjugate action is produced between the inner rotor 16 and the outer rotor 44. Conjugate action being defined as that which produces both the inner rotor 16 and outer rotor 44 to have a constant angular velocity, where the angular velocity of the inner rotor 16 is the same as the angular velocity of the outer rotor 44.
  • the inner rotor 16 In operation, as the input shaft 12 rotates in a first direction, which in this case would be counterclockwise in Figure 1 , the inner rotor 16 will also be forced to rotate. It should be noted that the following description for the motion of one of the vanes 20 relative to a corresponding chamber 18 applies to all the vanes 20 and their corresponding chambers 18, with the only difference being that each vane 20 is at a different position relative to its corresponding chamber 18, depending on the point of rotation of the inner rotor 16.
  • the inner rotor 16 applies force to each of the vanes 20 in sequential manner. For example, as the inner rotor 16 rotates in a counterclockwise direction, the vane 20 located toward the bottom in Figure 1 will begin to move in an outward direction relative to its respective chamber 18. This motion will create a suction which draws fluid into the chamber 18 from the inlet port as the vane 20 moves past the inlet port. Fluid will then flow from the inlet port into the chamber 18.
  • the vane 20 Once the vane 20 has moved past the inlet port, it will be at its maximum extended position relative to the chamber 18, and the maximum amount of fluid will be in the chamber 18. This is shown by the vanes 20 toward the top of Figure 1. As the inner rotor 16 continues to rotate counterclockwise in Figure 1 , the vane 20 will then begin to slide back into the chamber 18 toward the input shaft 12, and begin to compress the fluid. As the fluid is compressed, the vane 20 will begin to slide across the outlet port. The compressed fluid will then flow into the outlet port. The vanes 20 are allowed to move in a sliding direction either into or out of each respective chamber 18, and are also allowed to pivot in the recesses 46.
  • the space 50 between the inner rotor 16 and the outer rotor 44 is also used to pump fluid as well.
  • the space 50 located over the inlet port will begin to expand due to the axis of the inner rotor 16 being offset from the axis of the outer rotor 44.
  • This also creates a suction which draws fluid into the space 50, as the inner rotor 16 continues to rotate, the space 50 will begin to contract near the outlet port.
  • This motion between the inner rotor 16 and the outer rotor 44 will force the fluid in the space 50 between the inner rotor 16 and outer rotor 44 into the outlet port.
  • the vanes 20 have a second function outside of pumping fluid, which is to rotate the outer rotor 44. Force is applied from the inner rotor 16, to the vane 20 located in the left-most position in Figure 1. As the inner rotor 16 rotates, the angle of the vanes 20 changes relative to their respective chambers 18. The vanes 20 receive force in three locations from the inner rotor 16 and the outer rotor 44. The position of the three locations where force is applied to the vanes 20 is designated as a first contact position 52, a second contact position 54, and a third contact position 56. The first contact position 52 is the point where the upper edge 42 of the chamber 18 applies force to the constant speed cam surface 38.
  • the location of the first contact position 52 changes as the upper edge 42 moves along the constant speed cam surface 38 vane 20 slides into and out of the chamber 18.
  • the upper edge 42 does not apply force to the vane 20 during the entire period of rotation.
  • the angle of each of the vanes 20 changes such that at a certain predetermined range of rotation, the angle of the vane 20 will be in a position where the upper edge 42 will apply force to the vanes 20.
  • the relationship between the constant speed cam surface 38 and the upper edge 40 is such that a smooth transition occurs as the upper edge 42 applies force to the constant speed cam surface 38.
  • the second contact position 54 is the point where the vane head 28 of the vane 20 transfers force to the outer rotor 44 and the outer rotor 44 applies a reactive force to the vane head 28.
  • the location of the second contact position 54 will vary as the inner rotor 16 rotates because the upper edge 42 of the chamber 18 will slide along the constant speed cam surface 38 as the upper edge 42 applies rotational force to the constant speed cam surface 38, and the vane 20 pivots in the recess 46.
  • the third contact position 56 is the point where the chamber 18 applies force to the vane 20 at the location of the first radius 30. This is also a reactive force which results from the upper edge 42 applying force to the vane 20.
  • the third contact position 56 changes as the vane 20 pivots and moves in the chamber 18. The change of the location of the first contact position 52, second contact position 54, and third contact position 56 for the vanes 20 are best shown when looking at the vanes 20.
  • the angle of the vane 20 will change such that the chamber 18 will no longer apply force to the vane 20.
  • the first radius 30 and the second radius 32 of the base 22 will still be in contact with the chamber 18, but the first radius 30 will not receive force from the inner rotor 16.
  • first radius 30 and the second radius 32 are in contact with the chamber 18 during the entire rotation of the inner rotor 16.
  • the chamber 18 only applies the reactive force to the vane 20 at the location of the first radius 30 as described above when the upper edge 42 of the chamber 18 is applying force to the vane 20.
  • the vane 20 will not receive any type of load.
  • the first radius 30 and the second radius 32 of the base portion 22 will still be in contact with the chamber 18, the point on the first radius 30 and the second radius 32 which contacts the chamber 18 will change, but no load will be applied to the vane 20.
  • each chamber 18 of the inner rotor 16 The force that is transferred from each chamber 18 of the inner rotor 16 to the corresponding vane 20 will be applied in a sequential manner as each vane 20 is rotated by the inner rotor 16. As the force applied to one vane 20 from its corresponding chamber 18 is released, the following chamber 18 applies force to its corresponding vane 20.
  • the constant speed cam surface 38 is shaped such that at least one vane 20 receives force from the inner rotor 16 at all times, and more importantly to allow the inner rotor 16 and the outer rotor 44 to have conjugate action (constant angular velocity).
  • FIG. 1 shows a single vane 20, having a constant speed cam surface 38 for providing the cam profile which affects the movement of the vane 20 in the chamber 18 as the inner rotor 16 rotates.
  • constant speed cam surfaces 38 are shown in phantom to demonstrate how the constant speed cam surface 38 can be modified to address conjugacy in the presence of manufacturing tolerances. Manufacturing tolerances can intensify any existing noise produced by the pump 10; this noise is reduced or eliminated by modifying the constant speed cam surface 38 to produce a different cam profile.
  • the inner rotor 16 rotates about the first axis 14, and the outer rotor 44 rotates about the second axis 48, which can selectively be offset and parallel to each other, or aligned with one another. Changing the position of the inner rotor 16 relative to the outer rotor 44 changes the eccentricity between the outer rotor 44 and inner rotor 16.
  • the eccentricity between the inner rotor 16 and outer rotor 44 is what creates the pumping action through the AVP 10. Varying the eccentricity of the AVP 10 will vary the amount of fluid being pumped.
  • the outer rotor 44 is connected to an eccentric ring or slider (not shown) which is used to reposition the outer rotor 44 relative to the inner rotor 16 such that there is zero eccentricity between the inner rotor 16 and outer rotor 44 such that no fluid is displaced, or the outer rotor 44 can be repositioned to create a maximum amount of eccentricity shown in Figure 1 , where the maximum amount of fluid is pumped by the AVP 10.
  • the eccentricity between the outer rotor 44 and inner rotor 16 can also range from anywhere in between zero and the maximum amount of eccentricity to vary the amount of fluid pumped.
