Application filed November 3, 1927. Serial no. 230,889.
This invention relates to rotary pumps andother rotary mechanisms of. a similar kind.
One object of .the invention is to provide a'rotary pump which will have a very high 5 degree of efficiency and which will be sim- "ple inits construction and operation.
-' A further object of the invention is to provide such a pump in which the sealing surfaces of the pump member will be subjected to little or no wear, thus preventing decreased efiicienc-y in the operation of the pump after long use. 7
A further -object of the invention is to provide a rotary pump of such a construction that it can be quickly and easily manufac tured and assembled.
Other objects of the invention will appear as the device is described in detail. 0
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 1s a front 'elevation of a pump embodyingmy.
invention, partly broken away; Fig. 2 1s a front-elevation of such a pump with the front plate of the casing removed to show the pumping members in elevation; Fig. 3 is :a vertical sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig.1; Fig. 4 is a detail View of the piston. and its operating shaft; and Figs.
5, 6 and 7, are. detail views showing suc cessive positions of the 'piston and abut ment.
In these-drawings I have illustrated one embodiment of my inventionbut it "will be understood that the-mechanism may take various forms without departing from the spirit of the invention and that the apparatus may be used as a pump or compressor for fluid or by a proper arrangement of the pipe connections may be used as a-suc-- tionpump. v
In that particular embodiment here illustrated the pump comprises a two-part casing having an intermediate member or wall 10 provided with a rearwardly extending flange or'lateral wall 11 to the rear edge of 5 which is secured aback wall 12, thus form-y mg a rear chamber in which .is arranged driving gearing as will hereinafter appear. A front wall 13 isspaced from the.
intermediate wall 10 bya spacing member or side wall 14, the front wall and spacing member being secured to the intermediate wall 'by bolts .15. It will be noted that the contact surfaces of the several parts of the casing are flat so that'theymay be easily will produce a perfect seal when secured one to-the other. Rotatably mounted in the lower portion of the casing is a drive shaft 16 which is here shown as mounted in bearings 17 and 18 in the intermediate and rear walls of the casing, the front end of which extends into the forward compartment formed between the intermediate wall and the front wall 13. The rear wall is pro vided with a stuffing box 19 through which the shaft extends. Rotatably mounted in the upper part of the casingis a shaft20 which is parallel with a shaft 16 and'is here shown as ]ournaled in bearings 21 and 22 in the intermediate and rear walls of the casing and as extending into the forward ,compartment. A'cap or screw plug'23v engages the rear end of the shaft toseal the end of the bearing. The lower and upper parts of the casing arev curved about the axes of the shafts that the walls of the chambers, if extended, would intersect, thus causing the chambers formed in the upper and lower partsof the front compartment of the easing to merge into and have communicationwith each other. Loosely mounted about the shaft 20 in the upper portion of the forward compartment is a member 24 which is substantially cylindrical in shape but has in its lower portion a curved recess 25. This cylindrical member is'held against rotation with the shaft, preferably by means of a pin 26 extending through the front wall 13 of the casing and into the cylindrical member. The diameter of the cylindrical member is,
considerably less than the diameter of the upper part of the forward compartment, thus forming between the cylindrical mem her and the wall of the .compartment an elongated work chamber which is in the form of a partial annulus and the ends of which open into the lower part of the forward The side walls of'the -workcompartment.
chamber being flat it will be apparent that the work chamber is rectangular in cross section. Mounted within th work chamber is a piston 27 which is connected with the shaft 20 for rotation therewith. The piston may be connected with the shaft in any suit-- able manner and, in the present instance, I'have rigidly secured to the shaft .20 a disk 55 ground to provide contact surfaces which 28 which is seated inarecess 29 in'the invtermediate wall of the casing and which of a diameter somewhat greater than the diameter of the cylindrical member 24:. The piston is rigidly secured to the outer portion of this disk by means of pins 'or rivets 30.
The piston has fiat lateral surfaces to conform to the sides of the work chamber, and has its inner and outer surfaces curved to conform to the curvatures of the inner and outer walls of the chamber, as formed by the cylindrical member 24 and the spacing member 14. The piston rotates through the work chamber in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 2 and its forward face is curved inwardly and rearwardly from the forward outer edge thereof, as shown at 31, so
that the forward end of the piston tapers forwardly to its outer surface. Mounted inf the lower chamber of the casin which is 0 c I I cylindrical in shape, is a segmental abutment 32, the peripheral surface of which is preferably of a length somewhat greater than a semi-pircle. This peripheral wall fits snugly within the cylindrical chamberand, when the abutment is in one position, willextend into the upper portion of the compartment and have sealing contact with the cylindrical member 24 Because of the curved recess in the lower side of the cylindrical member the sealing contact will be a relatively long one and -will efiectually prevent the passage of fluid. The abutment is cut away or recessed on one side, as shown at 33, to permit the piston to pass through the u or portion of the cylindrical chamber. he abutment during a portion of it's rotation will extend across the two ends of the work chamber, thus closing that chamber both in the rear of and in advance of the, piston 27. The work chamber is pro with an inlet, preferably near the rear end thereof, as shown at 34, and is provided with an outlet close to the forward end thereof, as shown at 35. The outlet may, if desired, be provided with a check valve 36. The piston and the abutment are rotated in timed relation one to the other, that is, at
eeds which are fixed with relation one to t e other, this being accomplished in the present instance by the use of intermeshing , gears 37 and 38, secured respectively to the shaftslfi and 20 and arranged -in the rearv compartment of the casing.- In the present arrangement-the shaft 16 constitutes a drive shaft and may be'driven from any suitable source of power, as by direct connection with an electric motor. 'The abutment rotates in a direction opposite tothat in which the piston rotates and is so arranged with relatio'nto the piston that during the time that the piston is moving from the inlet to the outlet of the 'work chamber the abutment will be in such a position-as to close both endslof the work chamber. Thus the fluid mosses abutment are so shaped and arranged that as the piston'approaches the forward end of the work chamber and the rear end of the abutment is about to move across'the forward end of the work chamber the piston and abutment will be brought into sealing contact one with the other. here shown, the rear end of the piston has a transverse contact surface 39 which is so shaped and arranged that it will be brought into contact with the curved front face 31 of the piston, thus producing'a sealed joint between the two parts and as these parts continue their rotation the end of the abutment will move over the curved face of the piston to a positionin which it will almost entirely eliminate the space between these parts, thus causing substantially all of the fluid which is confined between the piston and the abutment to be forced through the outlet 35, which is so arranged that it will communicate with the space between the piston and the abutment at all times during the compressioh movement of the piston. As the pistonand abutment continue their movements the piston will enter the recess 33; i
and timing of the piston and abutment it is desirable that the abutment have a radius somewhat greater than the radius of the piston, and l have found that satisfactory resuits are had when these radii have a ratio of substantially 3 to 3.75.
The arrangement and manner of mounting the pist0n and the abutment are such that the surfaces of these parts have verylight contact one with the other and with the fixed parts. of the casing so that they are subjected toyery little wear and will maintain 'the proper sealing contact practically indefinitely. The relation of the abutment to the front face of the piston is such as to discharge substantially all of the fluid from the work chamber, thereby securing a very high efficiency andproducing a relatively high compression when the pump is used as a compressor. lhe pump is capable of operation at a very high speed and a'relatively small pump will handle large quantities of fluid. v llhe construction of the several parts of the pump are of such a character that they can be-veryquickly and easily manufactured. The several parts of the casing can be cast and the flat faces thereof ground, by a very simple operation, to provide the proper contact surfaces. The several working parts can be mounted on the intermedi ate wall 110 of the casing and the front and rear walls then applied thereto, thereby providing for a very of the mechanism;
