Description

L'invention se rapporte à un corps de pompe.The invention relates to a pump body.

L'invention intéresse plus particulièrement mais non exclusivement le domaine des pompes qui, mettant en oeuvre des rotors, sont utilisées en tant que compresseurs pour des fluides gazeux.The invention more particularly but not exclusively concerns the field of pumps which, using rotors, are used as compressors for gaseous fluids.

L'invention se rapporte évidemment à la pompe qui comprend ce corps.The invention obviously relates to the pump which comprises this body.

Dans une des formes de réalisation les plus simples US-A 2,460,957 , le corps de pompe est constitué en deux sous ensembles, dits premier et second, qui sont assemblés selon un plan de joint sensiblement orthogonal aux axes longitudinaux des rotors.In one of the simplest embodiments US-A 2,460,957 , the pump body is constituted in two subsets, said first and second, which are assembled in a substantially orthogonal joint plane to the longitudinal axes of the rotors.

Dans le corps de pompe, les rotors sont guidés en rotation selon leurs axes longitudinaux par des organes, dits premiers, de guidage positionnés au niveau d'extrémités opposées qu'ils comportent,In the pump body, the rotors are guided in rotation along their longitudinal axes by so-called first guiding members positioned at opposite ends that they comprise,

De manière générale, les corps de telles pompes sont réalisés par moulage de parois en matériau métallique et certaines surfaces de ces parois sont travaillées par usinage, notamment par alésage, pour définir une chambre, dite de compression, dans laquelle les rotors seront ensuite placés.In general, the bodies of such pumps are made by molding walls of metallic material and some surfaces of these walls are machined, particularly by boring, to define a so-called compression chamber, in which the rotors will then be placed.

La fabrication desdits sous ensembles par moulage de matériau métallique est grandement facilitée lorsque le rapport entre la dimension longitudinale et la dimension transversale (épaisseur) de chacune des parois qui les définissent est proche de l'unité.The manufacture of said subassemblies by molding of metallic material is greatly facilitated when the ratio between the longitudinal dimension and the transverse dimension (thickness) of each of the walls that defines them is close to unity.

Bien que non obligatoire, la construction en deux demis sous ensembles dont la dimension longitudinale correspond sensiblement à la demie dimension longitudinale du corps de pompe est préférée car elle permet de faciliter le moulage du matériau métallique.Although not mandatory, the construction in two sub-assemblies half whose longitudinal dimension substantially corresponds to the half-length of the pump body is preferred because it facilitates the molding of the metal material.

En outre, la dimension longitudinale réduite de chaque partie de chambre comprise dans un sous ensemble permet également de garantir une précision d'usinage accrue.In addition, the reduced longitudinal dimension of each chamber portion included in a subassembly also makes it possible to guarantee increased machining precision.

La situation se complique lorsque la chambre de compression doit être refroidie par circulation d'un fluide caloporteur.The situation is complicated when the compression chamber must be cooled by circulation of a coolant.

En effet, le corps de pompe doit avoir une enveloppe à double paroi qui permet la circulation d'un fluide caloporteur autour de la chambre de compression.Indeed, the pump body must have a double-walled envelope that allows the circulation of a coolant around the compression chamber.

Dans ce type de pompe l'enveloppe à double paroi a, d'une part, une première paroi qui détermine le volume de la chambre de compression et, d'autre part, une seconde paroi qui s'étend autour de la première paroi avec un certain espacement destiné à la circulation du premier fluide.In this type of pump the double-walled casing has, on the one hand, a first wall which determines the volume of the compression chamber and, on the other hand, a second wall which extends around the first wall with a certain spacing for the circulation of the first fluid.

Avec ce type de structure, lors du fonctionnement de la pompe, on rencontre notamment des problèmes d'étanchéité qui sont engendrés par la dilatation différentielle de la première et de la seconde paroi.With this type of structure, during the operation of the pump, there are particular sealing problems that are caused by the differential expansion of the first and second wall.

Un résultat que l'invention vise à obtenir est un corps de pompe à double paroi dont la structure permet de surmonter les problèmes classiquement rencontrés, tant lors de la fabrication que lors du fonctionnement de la pompe.One result that the invention aims to obtain is a double-walled pump body whose structure makes it possible to overcome the problems conventionally encountered, both during manufacture and during operation of the pump.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un corps de pompe conforme à la revendication 1.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a pump body according to claim 1.

L'invention a également pour objet une pompe qui comprend ce corps.The invention also relates to a pump which comprises this body.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description ci-après en regard du dessin qui représente schématiquement :

  • figure 1 : une vue éclatée et en perspective d'un corps de pompe selon l'invention,
  • figure 2 : une pompe comprenant le corps de pompe de la figure 1, vue en coupe selon un plan qui passe par les axes longitudinaux des rotors qu'elle comprend,
  • figure 3 : une vue en bout d'un des sous ensembles constitutifs du corps de pompe selon l'invention,
  • figure 4 : une vue en coupe transversale du sous ensemble de la figure 3, et ce, selon le plan médian,
  • figure 5 : à plus grande échelle, une vue locale en coupe d'un détail d'assemblage de deux sous ensembles du corps de pompe.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description below with reference to the drawing which schematically represents:
  • figure 1 : an exploded perspective view of a pump body according to the invention,
  • figure 2 : a pump comprising the pump body of the figure 1 , seen in section along a plane which passes through the longitudinal axes of the rotors which it comprises,
  • figure 3 : an end view of one of the constituent subassemblies of the pump body according to the invention,
  • figure 4 : a cross-sectional view of the subset of the figure 3 , and this, according to the median plane,
  • figure 5 on a larger scale, a local sectional view of an assembly detail of two subassemblies of the pump body.

En se reportant au dessin on voit un corps de pompe 2 ayant une enveloppe 3 à double paroi qui permet la circulation d'un premier fluide 4, notamment caloporteur, au moins partiellement autour d'une chambre de compression 5 d'un second fluide 6, la compression étant effectuée au moyen d'au moins deux rotors allongés 7, 8, qui, présentant des axes longitudinaux 70, 80, sont situés dans ladite chambre de compression 5.Referring to the drawing we see a pump body 2 having a double-walled casing 3 which allows the circulation of a first fluid 4, in particular a heat-transfer fluid, at least partially around a compression chamber 5 of a second fluid 6 , the compression being effected by means of at least two elongated rotors 7, 8, which, having longitudinal axes 70, 80, are situated in said compression chamber 5.

Le premier fluide 4 ainsi que le second fluide 6 sont symbolisés par des flèches.The first fluid 4 and the second fluid 6 are symbolized by arrows.

Les rotors 7, 8 sont guidés en rotation autour de leurs axes longitudinaux 70, 80 par des organes, dits premiers, de guidage en rotation 9 positionnés au niveau d'extrémités opposées 71, 72, 81, 82 que ces rotors comportent.The rotors 7, 8 are guided in rotation about their longitudinal axes 70, 80 by so-called first rotating guide members 9 positioned at opposite ends 71, 72, 81, 82 that these rotors comprise.

L'enveloppe 3 à double paroi a, d'une part, une première paroi 10 qui détermine le volume de la chambre de compression 5 et, d'autre part, une seconde paroi 11 qui s'étend autour de la première paroi 10 avec un certain espacement 12 destiné à la circulation du premier fluide 4.The double-walled envelope 3 has, on the one hand, a first wall 10 which determines the volume of the compression chamber 5 and, on the other hand, a second wall 11 which extends around the first wall 10 with a certain spacing 12 intended for the circulation of the first fluid 4.

Le corps de pompe 2 est constitué en deux sous ensembles 13, 14, dits premier 13 et second 14, qui sont assemblés selon un plan de joint 15 sensiblement orthogonal aux axes longitudinaux 70, 80 des rotors 7, 8.The pump body 2 consists of two subassemblies 13, 14, said first 13 and second 14, which are assembled in a joint plane 15 substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axes 70, 80 of the rotors 7, 8.

Tel que cela apparaît en figure 1, les deux sous ensembles 13, 14 constitutifs du corps de pompe 2 et les rotors 7, 8 permettent de constituer une pompe 1.As it appears in figure 1 , the two subsets 13, 14 constituting the pump body 2 and the rotors 7, 8 make it possible to constitute a pump 1.

De manière notable, chaque premier sous ensemble 13 et second sous ensemble 14 comprend un élément rigide 16 qui, moulé en un premier matériau thermiquement conducteur, présente deux faces opposées, dont une première face 18 et une seconde face 19, avec,

  • située au-delà de la première face 18,
    • . d'une part, la première paroi 10 qui, moulée avec cet élément rigide 16, s'étend sensiblement orthogonalement à ladite première face 18 et est,
      • .. transversalement délimitée entre deux faces opposées dites troisième 20 et quatrième 21, la troisième face 20 délimitant latéralement la chambre de compression 5, la quatrième face 21 constituant une surface d'échange avec le premier fluide 4,
      • .. longitudinalement limitée par une cinquième face 22 qui définit au moins une portée d'assemblage avec la cinquième face 22 d'un premier sous ensemble 13 ou second sous ensemble 14 avec lequel il doit être assemblé selon le plan de joint 15, de manière à constituer un corps de pompe 2,
    • . d'autre part, la seconde paroi 11 qui s'étend sensiblement orthogonalement à ladite première face 18 et parallèlement à la quatrième face 21 de la première paroi 10, tout en étant dépourvue de liaison avec ladite quatrième face 21,
  • situées en retrait par rapport à la première face 18, des découpes 23 qui constituent chacune au moins un logement pour un premier organe de guidage en rotation 9 d'une des extrémités opposées 71, 72, 81, 82 d'un des rotors 7, 8.
Notably, each first subassembly 13 and second subassembly 14 comprises a rigid element 16 which, molded in a first thermally conductive material, has two opposite faces, including a first face 18 and a second face 19, with,
  • located beyond the first face 18,
    • . on the one hand, the first wall 10 which, molded with this rigid element 16, extends substantially orthogonal to said first face 18 and is,
      • .. transversely delimited between two opposite faces said third 20 and fourth 21, the third face 20 laterally delimiting the compression chamber 5, the fourth face 21 constituting an exchange surface with the first fluid 4,
      • .. longitudinally limited by a fifth face 22 which defines at least one assembly surface with the fifth face 22 of a first subassembly 13 or second subassembly 14 with which it must be assembled according to the joint plane 15, so to constitute a pump body 2,
    • . on the other hand, the second wall 11 which extends substantially orthogonally to said first face 18 and parallel to the fourth face 21 of the first wall 10, while being devoid of any connection with said fourth face 21,
  • set back from the first face 18, cutouts 23 which each constitute at least one housing for a first rotating guide 9 of one of the opposite ends 71, 72, 81, 82 of one of the rotors 7, 8.

L'adoption de ces caractéristiques techniques permet de donner au corps de pompe 2 une structure qui simplifie radicalement la fabrication, à quelque niveau que ce soit, c'est-à-dire, notamment lorsque la fabrication comprend des étapes de moulage et d'usinage.The adoption of these technical characteristics makes it possible to give the pump body 2 a structure which radically simplifies the manufacture, at any level whatsoever, that is to say, especially when the manufacturing comprises molding steps and machining.

Tel que cela apparaîtra mieux plus après, l'adoption de ces particularités permet de construire un corps de pompe 2 comprenant un premier et un second sous ensemble 13, 14 qui sont adaptés pour comporter de nombreuses particularités communes, voire d'être identiques.As will become apparent later, the adoption of these features allows to build a pump body 2 comprising a first and a second subassembly 13, 14 which are adapted to include many common features, or even to be identical.

De manière également remarquable, sur au moins l'un desdits premier et second sous ensembles 13, 14, la première paroi 10 est associée à l'élément rigide 16 qui la porte par une partie de liaison 24 qui autorise un déplacement de ladite première paroi 10 dans une première direction 25 sensiblement orthogonale au plan de joint 15, et ce, par déformation élastique de ladite partie de liaison 24.Also remarkably, on at least one of said first and second subassemblies 13, 14, the first wall 10 is associated with the rigid element 16 which carries it by a connecting portion 24 which allows a displacement of said first wall 10 in a first direction substantially orthogonal to the joint plane 15, by elastic deformation of said connecting portion 24.

Dans une forme préférée de réalisation, la partie de liaison 24 est constituée par une zone de l'élément rigide 16 qui borde la première paroi 10.In a preferred embodiment, the connecting portion 24 is constituted by a zone of the rigid element 16 which borders the first wall 10.

Par exemple, cette zone est constituée par une partie amincie de l'élément rigide 16.For example, this zone is constituted by a thinned portion of the rigid element 16.

Avantageusement, cette zone amincie s'étend dans un premier plan 26 sensiblement parallèle au plan de joint 15.Advantageously, this thinned area extends in a first plane 26 substantially parallel to the joint plane 15.

L'adoption de ces particularités techniques permet que tout allongement ou raccourcissement de la première paroi 10 soit absorbé par déformation élastique de la partie de liaison 24.The adoption of these technical features allows that any elongation or shortening of the first wall 10 is absorbed by elastic deformation of the connecting portion 24.

Chaque découpe 23 située en retrait par rapport à la première face 18, constitue également un logement pour un second organe 27 destiné à assurer l'étanchéité entre chacune des extrémités opposées 71, 72, 81, 82 d'un rotor allongé 7, 8 et l'élément rigide 16 dans lequel se situe la découpe 23 considérée.Each cutout 23 set back from the first face 18 also constitutes a housing for a second member 27 intended to sealing between each of the opposite ends 71, 72, 81, 82 of an elongated rotor 7, 8 and the rigid element 16 in which the cut 23 is located.

Le second organe 27 assure une étanchéité dite "dynamique", c'est-à-dire une étanchéité effective pendant la rotation des rotors.The second member 27 provides a seal called "dynamic", that is to say an effective seal during rotation of the rotors.

Tel que cela apparaît au dessin, chaque découpe 23 consiste en un alésage qui comprend une première portée 231 pour un premier organe de guidage en rotation 9 d'une extrémité 71, 72, 81, 82 de rotor 7, 8 et une seconde portée 232 pour un second organe 27 destiné à assurer l'étanchéité entre une extrémité 71, 72, 81, 82 du rotor 7, 8 et l'élément rigide 16 au niveau de laquelle cette extrémité se situe.As shown in the drawing, each cutout 23 consists of a bore which comprises a first bearing surface 231 for a first rotational guiding member 9 of an end 71, 72, 81, 82 of rotor 7, 8 and a second bearing 232 for a second member 27 intended to seal between an end 71, 72, 81, 82 of the rotor 7, 8 and the rigid element 16 at which this end is located.

Bien que cela ne soit pas représenté, chaque rotor 7, 8 est entraîné en rotation et les rotations des différents rotors 7, 8 sont synchronisées.Although this is not shown, each rotor 7, 8 is rotated and the rotations of the different rotors 7, 8 are synchronized.

Tel que cela apparaît en figure 2, l'un des sous ensemble 13, 14 constitutif du corps de pompe 2, est associé à un boîtier 17 et à un couvercle 28.As it appears in figure 2 , one of the subassemblies 13, 14 constituting the pump body 2, is associated with a housing 17 and a cover 28.

Bien que cela ne soit pas représenté, on considère que c'est le boîtier 17 ou le couvercle 28 qui abrite un mécanisme d'entraînement en rotation synchronisée des différents rotors 7, 8 abrités dans le corps de pompe 2.Although this is not shown, it is considered that it is the housing 17 or the cover 28 which houses a mechanism for synchronously rotating the different rotors 7, 8 housed in the pump body 2.

Pour permettre l'entraînement des dits rotors 7, 8, au moins l'un desdits premier sous ensemble 13 et second sous ensemble 14 est équipé d'alésages qui traversent de part en part l'élément rigide qu'ils comprennent et les rotors ont leurs extrémités qui traversent les dits alésages de manière à s'étendre au-delà de la seconde face de l'élément rigide considéré.To allow the driving of said rotors 7, 8, at least one of said first subassembly 13 and second subassembly 14 is equipped with bores which pass right through the rigid element they comprise and the rotors have their ends which pass through said bores so as to extend beyond the second face of the rigid element considered.

Des moyens d'entraînement des rotors 7, 8 en rotation synchronisée peuvent être associés aux extrémités qui traversent les dits alésages de manière à s'étendre au-delà de la seconde face de l'élément rigide considéré.Means for driving rotors 7, 8 in synchronized rotation can be associated with the ends which pass through said bores so as to extend beyond the second face of the rigid element in question.

De préférence le premier sous ensemble 13 et le second sous ensemble 14 sont équipés d'alésages qui traversent de part en part l'élément rigide 16 qu'ils comprennent et la seconde face 19 de l'élément rigide 16 d'un desdits premier et second sous ensembles 13, 14 porte au moins un couvercle 28 qui ferme étanchement lesdits alésages.Preferably the first subassembly 13 and the second subassembly 14 are equipped with bores which pass right through the rigid element 16 which they comprise and the second face 19 of the rigid element 16 of one of said first and second subassemblies 13, 14 carries at least one cover 28 which sealingly closes said bores.

Le premier sous ensemble 13 et le second sous ensemble 14 constituant le corps de pompe 2 sont assemblés au moyen de troisièmes organes 29 qui les sollicitent l'un vers l'autre de manière à appliquer étroitement, l'une contre l'autre, les cinquièmes faces 22 des éléments rigides 16 de chaque premier sous ensemble 13 et second sous ensemble 14.The first subassembly 13 and the second subassembly 14 constituting the pump body 2 are assembled by means of third members 29 which urge them towards one another so as to closely apply the one against the other to the other. fifth faces 22 of the rigid elements 16 of each first subassembly 13 and second subassembly 14.

L'adoption de ces caractéristiques techniques garantit la cohésion de l'assemblage du premier sous ensemble 13 et du second sous ensemble 14.The adoption of these technical characteristics guarantees the cohesion of the assembly of the first subassembly 13 and the second subassembly 14.

Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, le premier sous ensemble 13 et le second sous ensemble 14 constituant le corps de pompe 2 sont assemblés aux moyens de troisièmes organes 29 consistant en des tirants qui :

  • s'étendent chacun dans une seconde direction 30 sensiblement orthogonale au plan de joint 15 et dont au moins certains traversent l'espace situé entre la première paroi 10 et la seconde paroi 11 de chaque premier sous ensemble 13 et second sous ensemble 14,
  • trouvent appui au niveau de la seconde face 19 de chaque élément rigide 16 que comprend l'un des dits premier et second sous ensembles 13, 14.
In a preferred embodiment, the first subassembly 13 and the second subassembly 14 constituting the pump body 2 are connected to the means of third members 29 consisting of tie rods which:
  • each extend in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the joint plane 15 and at least some of which pass through the space between the first wall 10 and the second wall 11 of each first subassembly 13 and second subassembly 14,
  • are supported at the level of the second face 19 of each rigid element 16 that comprises one of said first and second subassemblies 13, 14.

L'expression "au niveau de la seconde face 19" ne doit être interprétée comme signifiant que les troisièmes organes 29 trouvent impérativement appui exactement dans le plan de la seconde face 19.The expression "at the level of the second face 19" should not be interpreted as meaning that the third members 29 necessarily find support exactly in the plane of the second face 19.

Par exemple, les troisièmes organes 29 trouvent appui sur des portées (non représentées) qui, réservées dans l'élément rigide 16, sont situées en retrait par rapport à la dite seconde face 19.For example, the third members 29 are supported on spans (not shown) which, reserved in the rigid element 16, are set back from said second face 19.

L'adoption de ces caractéristiques techniques garantit également la cohésion de l'assemblage du premier sous ensemble 13 avec le second sous ensemble 14 en permettant d'appliquer les contraintes d'assemblage dans des zones massives desdits sous ensembles, et ce, dans des secondes directions 30 qui sont tangentes à la première paroi 10.The adoption of these technical characteristics also ensures the cohesion of the assembly of the first subassembly 13 with the second subassembly 14 by making it possible to apply the assembly constraints in massive zones of said subassemblies, and this, in seconds. directions which are tangent to the first wall 10.

De manière notable :

  • le premier sous ensemble 13 et le second sous ensemble 14 constituant le corps de pompe 2 sont assemblés au moyen de troisièmes organes 29 qui sollicitent lesdits premier et second sous ensembles 13, 14 l'un vers l'autre de manière à appliquer étroitement, l'une contre l'autre, les cinquièmes faces 22 des éléments rigides 16 de chaque premier sous ensemble 13 et second sous ensemble 14,
  • la seconde paroi 11 de chaque premier sous ensemble 13 et second sous ensemble 14 s'étend au-delà de la première face 18 et comprend une face qui, dite sixième face 31, s'étend dans un second plan 32 parallèle à la cinquième face 22 du même premier ou second sous ensemble 13, 14, mais en retrait par rapport à cette cinquième face 22, de manière telle que lorsque les cinquièmes faces 22 du premier sous ensemble 13 et du second sous ensemble 14 s'appuient l'une sur l'autre, les sixièmes faces 31 de ces sous ensembles 13, 14 sont écartées d'une valeur prédéterminée "E", de sorte qu'un interstice 33 subsiste entre elles.
Notably:
  • the first subassembly 13 and the second subassembly 14 constituting the pump body 2 are assembled by means of third members 29 which urge said first and second subassemblies 13, 14 towards each other so as to apply closely, one against the other, the fifth faces 22 of the rigid elements 16 of each first subassembly 13 and the second subassembly 14,
  • the second wall 11 of each first subassembly 13 and second subassembly 14 extends beyond the first face 18 and comprises a face which, said sixth face 31 extends in a second plane 32 parallel to the fifth face 22 of the same first or second subassembly 13, 14, but recessed with respect to this fifth face 22, so that when the fifth faces 22 of the first subassembly 13 and the second subassembly 14 are supported one on the other, the sixth faces 31 of these subassemblies 13, 14 are spaced apart by a predetermined value "E", so that a gap 33 remains between them.

L'adoption de ces particularités techniques garantit un parfait iso statisme de l'assemblage.The adoption of these technical features guarantees a perfect iso-static of the assembly.

De préférence les sixièmes faces 31 sont espacées d'une valeur "E" comprise entre quelques centièmes de millimètre et quelques dixièmes de millimètre.Preferably the sixth faces 31 are spaced apart by a value "E" of between a few hundredths of a millimeter and a few tenths of a millimeter.

Dans la limite de la valeur de l'écartement des sixièmes faces 31 (dilatation thermique), l'allongement des secondes parois 11 qui les portent ne peut pas affecter l'assemblage des cinquièmes faces 22.In the limit of the value of the spacing of the sixth faces 31 (thermal expansion), the elongation of the second walls 11 which carry them can not affect the assembly of the fifth faces 22.

D'une manière encore notable :

  • au moins l'une des cinquièmes faces 22 du premier sous ensemble 13 et du second sous ensemble 14 qui s'appuient l'une sur l'autre, porte au moins un premier joint 35 qui coopère avec l'autre cinquième face 22 et assure l'étanchéité périphérique de la chambre de compression 5 au niveau des deux cinquièmes faces 22 placées en appui l'une contre l'autre,
  • au moins l'une des sixièmes faces 31 du premier sous ensemble 13 et du second sous ensemble 14 qui sont situées en vis-à-vis, s'appuient l'une sur l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un second joint 36 qui assure l'étanchéité périphérique de l'espace situé entre la première paroi 10 et la seconde paroi 11, malgré l'interstice 33 de valeur prédéterminée "E" qui subsiste entre ces sixièmes faces 31.
In a still notable way:
  • at least one of the fifth faces 22 of the first subassembly 13 and the second subassembly 14 which bear against one another carries at least one first seal 35 which cooperates with the other fifth face 22 and ensures the peripheral sealing of the compression chamber 5 at the two fifth faces 22 placed in abutment against each other,
  • at least one of the sixth faces 31 of the first subassembly 13 and the second subassembly 14 which are located opposite each other, rest on one another via at least one second seal 36 which provides peripheral sealing of the space between the first wall 10 and the second wall 11, despite the gap 33 of predetermined value "E" which remains between these sixth faces 31.

Par exemple, au moins l'une des cinquièmes faces 22 du premier sous ensemble 13 et du second sous ensemble 14 comprend une gorge 34 recevant un premier joint 35 qui coopère avec l'autre cinquième face 22.For example, at least one of the fifth faces 22 of the first subassembly 13 and the second subassembly 14 comprises a groove 34 receiving a first seal 35 which cooperates with the other fifth face 22.

D'autres solutions techniques permettant de loger le premier joint existent et ne sont pas décrites car elles sont à la portée de l'homme de l'art.Other technical solutions for housing the first seal exist and are not described because they are within the reach of ordinary skill in the art.

L'expression "au moins un premier joint 35" et l'expression " au moins un second joint 36" signifient qu'on fait usage d'au moins un organe d'étanchéité et/ou que l'action de chaque organe d'étanchéité peut être complétée ou renforcée par l'usage d'un matériau d'étanchéité rapporté par, par exemple, par enduction.The expression "at least one first gasket 35" and the expression "at least one second gasket 36" mean that at least one sealing member is used and / or that the action of each gasket member sealing may be supplemented or reinforced by the use of a sealing material reported by, for example, by coating.

Le premier joint 35 et le second joint 36 assurent une étanchéité statique, c'est-à-dire une étanchéité entre des cinquièmes faces qui sont immobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre, ou des sixièmes faces qui sont immobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre.The first seal 35 and the second seal 36 provide a static seal, that is to say a seal between fifth faces that are immobile relative to each other, or sixth faces that are immobile one. compared to each other.

Sur le dessin, le premier joint et le second joint ont l'apparence de joint de type torique, mais il s'agit de possibles solutions pour réaliser chacun desdits joints.In the drawing, the first seal and the second seal have the appearance of a toric seal, but these are possible solutions for making each of said seals.

Le premier joint 35 et le second joint 36 peuvent aussi consister en des joints plats ou être constitués au moyen d'un cordon de matériau déposé sur les faces à assembler.The first seal 35 and the second seal 36 may also consist of flat seals or be constituted by means of a bead of material deposited on the faces to be assembled.

L'adoption de ces caractéristiques techniques garantit l'étanchéité parfaite de la chambre de compression 5 et de l'espace dans lequel circule le premier fluide 4.The adoption of these technical characteristics guarantees perfect sealing of the compression chamber 5 and the space in which the first fluid 4 circulates.

Les portées d'assemblage constituées par les cinquième face 22 de deux premier et second sous ensembles destinés à être assemblés présentent des éléments de positionnement transversal complémentaires male 37, femelle 38, de manière à autoriser le positionnement transversal relatif des deux premier et second sous ensembles.The assembly surfaces constituted by the fifth face 22 of two first and second subassemblies intended to be assembled have complementary male 37, female 38, transverse positioning elements, so as to allow the relative transverse positioning of the first and second subassemblies. .

L'adoption de ces caractéristiques techniques garantit un positionnement rigoureux du premier et du second sous ensemble 13, 14 l'un par rapport à l'autre.The adoption of these technical characteristics ensures a rigorous positioning of the first and second subassemblies 13, 14 relative to each other.

Lorsque le corps de pompe 2 est destiné à recevoir aux moins deux rotors allongés 7, 8 dont les axes longitudinaux 70, 80 sont situés dans un même troisième plan 39, la portée d'assemblage constituée par la cinquième face 22 de chaque premier ou second sous ensemble 13, 14 présente deux éléments de positionnement transversal complémentaires male 37 et femelle 38 qui sont quant à eux situés dans ledit troisième plan 39.When the pump body 2 is intended to receive at least two elongated rotors 7, 8 whose longitudinal axes 70, 80 are located in the same third plane 39, the assembly surface constituted by the fifth face 22 of each first or second subassembly 13, 14 has two complementary transverse positioning members male 37 and female 38 which are located in said third plane 39.

De cette manière, le positionnement des deux sous ensembles 13, 14 du corps de pompe 2 n'est pas affecté par des micro-glissements induits par la succession des cycles de chauffe et refroidissement subis par la pompe.In this way, the positioning of the two subassemblies 13, 14 of the pump body 2 is not affected by micro-slides induced by the succession of heating and cooling cycles undergone by the pump.

De manière générale, le premier et le second sous ensembles 13, 14 qu'il comprend sont constitués de manière telle que le plan de joint 15 est situé entre le quart et les trois quarts de la distance qui sépare les premières faces 18 en vis-à-vis desdits premier et second sous ensembles 13, 14 assemblés.In general terms, the first and second subassemblies 13, 14 that it comprises are constituted in such a way that the joint plane 15 is situated between one-quarter and three-quarters of the distance that separates the first faces 18 facing each other. to said first and second subsets 13, 14 assembled.
