Definitions

  • vanes and in particular vanes that may be used in rotary vane pumps relate to vanes and in particular vanes that may be used in rotary vane pumps.
  • Sliding rotary vane pumps may be used in a plurality of different mechanical and industrial applications (e.g. they may be used in both liquid and gas pumping applications) and can be invariable exposed to a wide range of environmental conditions.
  • One type of rotary vane pump is a dry air pumps, which are dry vacuum pumps constructed of carbon vanes and rotors which are self-lubricating. Such dry air pumps may comprise mechanical carbon rots and vanes that operate in a hardened metal cavity. Such pumps may provide a power source in a multitude of applications such as to provide power to pneumatically operated flight instruments, for example.
  • a vane for use in a rotary pump R is described herein wherein said vane comprises a first portion P1 having a first thickness T1 and a second portion P2 which has a second thickness T2 that is greater than the first thickness T1.
  • the second portion P2 comprises a first ledge 20 provided on one side of the vane.
  • said ledge protrudes from the first side of the vane and extends along the entire width W of the vane.
  • said ledge does not protrude along the entire width W of the vane.
  • said vane has an L-shaped cross-section.
  • said second portion P2 comprises a ball shaped edge.
  • said second portion P2 of said vane has a circular cross-section.
  • said ball-shaped edge extends along the entire width W of the vane.
  • said ball-shaped edge does not extend along the entire width W of the vane.
  • a rotary pump comprising at least one slot configured to receive said vane in use.
  • the rotary pump comprises a plurality of slots, each of which are configured to receive a vane
  • said at least one slot comprises a first portion S1 that has a first slot width SW1 and a second portion S2 that has a second slot width SW2, wherein the second width SW2 of the second portion S2 of the slot is greater than the first slot width SW.
  • the junction between the first slot portion S1 and the second slot portion S2 creates an end-stop, configured to contact said vane at the junction between said first vane portion P1 and said second vane portion P2 to thereby prevent the vane from exiting said slot.
  • said vane has a length L that extends between a first edge of the vane and a second edge and wherein, use, the vane is provided within the slot of the rotor R such that the second edge is closer to a central axis of the rotor R than the first edge of the vane, and wherein said second portion P2 is provided at said second edge.
  • FIG. 1 A known rotary vane pump prior to wear is shown in figure 1 .
  • the pump comprises a rotor R that provides a bearing surface for rotary movement of rotor R about its central axis 12.
  • the rotor R is provided with six circumferentially spaced vane slots 15 that are angled slightly from a radial direction and which extend over the entire longitudinal length of rotor R.
  • a graphite vane 16 is inserted into each of the slots 15 in use, as shown in figure 1 .
  • Each vane 16 is made from a material that during use, wears and produces a form of dry lubrication for the pump when in use.
  • vanes 16 can be made from carbon material, graphite, and various organic binders.
  • a self-lubricating coating may be applied to the pump parts to inhibit wear between the slidable vanes 16 and pump rotor R.
  • a stator S is provided that surrounds the rotor R.
  • the stator S has two symmetrically opposite lobes 18 and 19, the surfaces of which act as cams that regulate the two extension and retraction cycles for the vanes 16 during each rotation of the rotor R.
  • the longitudinal spaces defined by the adjacent vanes 16 and the external surface of the rotor R, as well as the surface of a stator lobe, and end plates of the pump serve as pumping pockets which are moved from an intake zone to an exhaust zone to accomplish the pumping action of the pump R.
  • FIG. 2 depicts the pump of figure 1 after the vanes 16 have been subjected to significant wear. As a result, vanes may fall out from the slots 15 and lead to pump failure.
  • the vane 16 may be provided so as to extend within a slot 15 of the rotor R.
  • the vane 16 has a length L that extends between a first edge 16c of the vane 16 and a second edge 16d of the vane end the vane has a width W that extends between a third edge 16a and a fourth edge 16b of the vane 16.
  • the vane 16 is inserted into the slot 15 of the rotor R such that the second edge 16d is closer to the central axis 12 of the rotor R than the first edge 16c of the vane 16.
  • the length L of the vane 16 is therefore dictated by the length of the slot 15 into which it is inserted and the width W of the vane 16 is dictated by the width of the rotor R of the pump.
  • the vane has a uniform thickness and uniformly shaped cross-section that matches the uniform shape of the cross-section of the slot into which it is inserted, as seen in figure 1 .
  • the new type of vane 16 has a non-uniform cross-sectional thickness.
  • the non-uniform thickness comprises a non-uniform cross-section, in that it comprises a first portion P1 having a first thickness T1 (which in this case is substantially uniform) and a second portion P2 which has a second thickness T2 that is greater than the first thickness T1.
  • the second portion P2 having the second thickness T2 comprises a first ledge 20 provided on one side of the vane, such that it protrudes from that side of the vane 16.
  • no ledge is provided on the opposite side of the vane 16. This gives the vane an L-shaped cross-section.
  • the ledge 20 protrudes from the first side of the vane 16 and along the entire width W of the vane 16 as shown in figure 15. In other examples, the protrusion may not extend along the entire width W of the vane 16.
  • the slot 15 of the examples shown in figures 3 to 5 is also modified in comparison to the slot of known rotors, such as those shown in figures 1 and 2 .
  • the slot 15 comprises a first portion S1 that has a first slot width SW1 and a second portion S2 that has a second slot width SW2, wherein the first slot width SW1 of the first portion S1 of the slot is less than the second slot width SW1.
  • the second ledge 21 provided within the slot 15 should correspond in shape and size to the first ledge 20 of the vane, such that, when the vane 16 shortens in length, the first and second ledges 20, 21, form an end-stop in that they contact each other and prevent further movement of the vane out from the slot 15.
  • This is depicted in figure 4 , wherein the ledges act as an end-stop. That is, the junction between the first slot portion S1 and the second slot portion S2 creates an end-stop, configured to contact the vane at the junction between the first vane portion P1 and the second vane portion P2 to thereby prevent the vane from exiting the slot.
  • the vane 16 is instead provided so as to have a circular cross-sectional at its second edge 16d.
  • this second edge 16d is the edge that is closest to the central axis of rotation of the stator.
  • the new type of vane 16 therefore also has a first portion P1 having a first thickness T1 (which in this case is substantially uniform) and a second portion P2 which has a second thickness T2 that is greater than the first thickness T1 (i.e. the portion having the circular cross-section).
  • the second portion P2 having the second thickness T2 comprises a ball shaped edge provided at the second edge 16d of the vane 16 (i.e. the edge that is closest to the central axis of rotation 12 of the rotor R.
  • the slot 15 of the examples shown in figures 6a to 7d is also modified in comparison to the slot of known rotors, such as those shown in figures 1 and 2 .
  • the slot 15 comprises a first portion S1 that has a first slot width SW1 and a second portion S2 that has a second slot width SW2, wherein the first slot width SW1 of the first portion S1 of the slot is less than the second slot width SW1.
  • the circular cross-section of the ball-shaped edge of the vane 16 can extend along the entire width of the vane 16. In other examples, the circular cross-section can be provided at a discrete point or points along the width of the vane 16.
  • the junction between the first slot portion S1 and the second slot portion S2 creates an end-stop, configured to contact the vane at the junction between the first vane portion P1 and the second, ball-shaped vane portion P2 to thereby prevent the vane from exiting the slot.
