The invention relates to rotary pumps of the type wherein two segmental pistons rotate in the same direction about a common axis in a cylindrical working chamber having intake and outlet ports and are driven alternately at high and low angular speeds in such relation to the chamber ports that, during each cycle of operation, fluid is sucked through the intake port into the space between two separating working faces of the pistons at the same time that nuid previously entrained between the other working faces of the pistons is expelled through the outlet ports as these latter faces close upon each other.

position in axial alignment with the pistons of the basic stage, which means that these two sets of pistons will be diametrically opposite to the pistons of the primary slip-neutralization and Referring nowl in detail to the drawings, wherein like reference characters 'designate corresponding parts in the several views, the improved pump comprises three major assembly units, viz.: casing unit A, piston unit B and differential drive unit C.
Casing unit A provides three distinct working g ble, so a one-piece cylindrical body I3, which may be supported in a horizontal position 'on base 13", has been adopted to constitute the principal element of said casing unit. For reasons which will become apparent as the description progresses, body I3 has been bored longitudinally to provide working chambers whichare stepped 11p-in diameter from one end .of .said body to the other but are of substantially the-same length. Working chamber IQ, which is Yat the intake end of the pump, as will be specified in greater detail later, has the smallest cubical capacity of the .series of chambers and working chamber I2, which is at the discharge end, ,has the .greatest capacity. The annular shoulder I4 formed at the juncture of working chamber .III with working chamber I I and the similar shoulder I5 at the juncture of working chamber II with working `chamber I2 serve a special purpose lwhich will be .described later in .connection with .specific description of piston unit B.
The open ends .of the casing bore are adapted to be closed by end plates .IS and 4I1.respectively, with plate I5 forming .the outer end wall of working chamber IB and plate I1 -forming the outer end wall of working chamber I2. .End plates I6 and AI1 preferably are detachably secured to body I3 by screws I6' and I1. However, it is a useful feature of Vthe invention that end .plate I1 shall normally form a part of piston .unit B so that said plateis always in .correct position to be applied to casing body I3 wheneversaid piston unitv is insertedinto the bore thereof. Division walls between working Achambers are required, but itis a feature of the present invention that, instead .of being provided in vcasing unit A, the necessary vwalls for .this purpose are incorporated in piston unit B to attain the simplicity of construction which yhas been advanced as one of the objects of the invention, .'Iherefore, detailed description ofthe division or-partitioning walls will be postponed until the Vsubject of piston unit B has been reached herein.
Body I3 is provided with intake ports I8, I3 and I8" and with outletports I-9, IS 'and IB, respectively, for working chambers ID, I.I .and I2. Intake port I- and-outlet'port I9 'are adapted to be connected to the 'suction 'and discharge pipes of the pumping or air evacuating system for which the Ypump is designed. Referring particularly to Figs-and 7, it -willbe observ-ed that intake port I8 and outlet port I9 for working chamber I2 and intake port I8" and outlet port I9 for working chamber I2 vare all disposed in communication with the upper areas of said working chambera'whereas Fig. '6 discloses the fact that intake port I8 and outlet port IQ' vfor working chamber II are in communication with the lower area of the latter. The reasonfor this staggered arrangement will appear as the description progresses.
In accordance with the concept of slip-neutralization advanced herein, outlet port I3 for Working chamber Iii is connected by a communicating duct 20 with intake port I3' for working chamber II. Similarly, outlet port I9' for working chamber II is connected by communicating duct 2| with intake port I8" for working chamber I2. It is within the scope of the invention to employ any suitable means for providing the two communicating ducts 2i) and 2| but it is preferred to use externally located tubing 22 and 22' for this purpose.
Fndplates i6 and I1 of casing unit A, when in appliedpositions are located suitably to sup- ,port journaling means for both ends of piston 'unit 'B,'which will -now be described.
Referring particularly to Fig. 4, it will be observed that piston unit B includes a central driven shaft 23, which has a driven sleeve 24 rotatably enclosing .the left end portion thereof. The right end of driven shaft 23 is adapted to be journaled in a bearing boss 25 provided centrally on end plate AIE of casing vunit A, whereas driven sleeve 24 is adapted to be journaled in a. bearing boss 26 provided centrally on end plate I1, Driven sleeve 24 thus is rotatable in endplate I'I and in turn .serves to journal the left end of driven shaft 23. Driven sleeve 2li is integral with the hub of a preferably hollow segmental piston 21 which is disposed in working chamber I2 in cooperation with a structurally mated piston 28, which also is preferably hollow. The hub of piston 21 is rotatable with driven sleeve 24 on driven shaft 23 and extends throughout nearly half the length of working chamber I2, Whereas the head of the piston extendsfrom the outer endof said chamber .nearly to the other end. The inwardly projecting half of piston .2.1 overlies and bears against the hub of piston28, whose projecting half Vsimilarly overlies andbearsagainst the hub of piston 21, all in the manner well known in the art. Piston28 is amxed by suitable removable means, such as cross-pin 29, to driven shaft 23 for rotational movement therewith. The external dimensions of pistons 21 and 2B should be such that they frictionally bear against the end and peripheral surfaces of working chamber i2 in as nearly duid-tight a manner as may be eiected between any moving parts. The inner end wall of working chamber I2 .is formed by a centrally perforated partitioning disc 3G which separates the said workingchamber from adjoining Working chamber I I andis rotatably mounted on driven shaft 23 in abutting relation to the flush inner (right) end faces of pistons 21 and 28. The thickness of partitioning disc 3G should -be substantially equal to the distance remaining between the inner end faces of pistons 21 and 23 and shoulder I5 cf the outer chamber wall. The external diameter of partitioning disc 3i) should be such that it will frictionally bear against the peripheral surface of workingchamber I2.
Working chamber 1li is provided simiiarly to working chamber i2 with a pair of coasting pistons 2i" and of proportionately smaller size than pistons '2? and 'and which preferably are solid in construction. Piston 2S is aiiixed to driven shaft 23 for rotation therewith, by cross-pin 29', but it is intended that piston 2? shall rotate with piston?? of working chamber i2, so partitioning disc 3:3 is afiined to said pistons 21 and 2 by removable means such as stud bolts 3 I. it will be observed that piston is set diametrically opposite to piston 2 with respect to the axis of driven shaft 23. The'reason for this arrangement will appear when the operation of the pump is described later herein.
Working chamber It is provided with a pair of hollow coacting pistons 21 and 28 of proportionately smaller size than pistons 27 and 23 of working chamber II. In like manner, piston 28 is anixed to driven shaft 23 by removable means, such as cross-pin 29", and piston 2'1" is joined to piston 2 for movement therewith through the medium of a second partitioning disc 32 and by the use of attaching means such as stud bolts 33. This second partitioning disc 32 is proportioned to rotate in working chamber II in substantially air-tight abutting relation to the peripheral surface thereof and to shoulder I4. In this instance, piston 2l" is set diametrically opposite to piston 2l and in axial alignment with piston 21.
Referring now to Figs. 5, 6 and 7, it will be observed that each piston subtends an arc of substantially 90 degrees between its leading and trailing axial working faces 34 and 35, respectively; also that the associated intake and outlet ports for each working chamber are disposed in substantially horizontal alignment either above or below the rotational axis of the piston unit and that they open into the working chamber through arcuate grooves 33. Each groove 35 extends through an are of substantially 90 degrees and both grooves of the pair associated with any one working chamber are separated at their ends most remote from the horizontal plane in which the rotational axis lies by a narrow land 37 which is bisected b-y the vertical plane through said rotational axis. In the case of working chambers IQ and I2, the intake and outlet ports are in communication with the upper areas thereof, so land 3l is located at the uppermost point. On the contrary, the intake and outlet ports for working chamber I I communicate with the lower area thereof, so land 3l is at the lowest point. En either case, the land 3l occupies a dead-center position, or starting and stopping point, for each cycle of pumping operation within the working chamber. Due to the specic piston and port relation just described, when both pistons in any working chamber are in the dead-center condition represented in Figs. 5, 6 and 'I in solid lines, adjacent working faces of the pistons will be slightly separated and the space therebetween will be masked by land 3l; also the pistons will substantially span the arcuate grooved portions of the respective ports.
By comparing the structural proportions disclosed in Figs. 5, 6 and '7, it will be apparent that the piston displacement is graduated through working chambers Iii, Ii a-nd I2. The difference in displacement between working chamber I and working chamber I l is substantially equal to the interior fluid volume of communicating duct 23, so that each operational cycle of the pistons in working chamber II will cause the iiuid in said duct to be sucked into working chamber II rst and then the fluid displaced by the pistons of working chamber Ill will be sucked in. In this way, all of the fluid evacuated by the basic pumping stage in working chamber IU will be accommodated in working chamber I I without the usual back pressure and slip. In like manner, the displacement difference between working chambers II and i2 is substantially equal to the interior fluid volume of communicating duct 2i which leads from the outlet port of the former chamber to the intake port of the latter.
Various types of differential driving mechanisms generally suitable for the operation of' forms part of the present invention, the linkage type of driving mechanism has been adopted.
Referring now to Figs. 1, 2, 8 and 8A in particular, it will be observed that driving unit C includes a cylindrical drum 38 which has central apertures 39 and 43 in its inner and cuter end walls 4I and 42, respectively, in concentric relation to the drum axis. Inner aperture 39 has an exteriorly projecting bearing boss 43, which is adapted to rotatably engage an external peripheral :bearing surface 44 provided on bearing boss 24 of end plate II in eccentric relation to the axis of driven shaft 23 of piston unit B. The axis of bearing surface 44 is disposed directly beneath the axis of driven shaft 23. When drum 38 of differential driving unit C' is thus mounted for rotation on an axis eccentric to the axis of rotation of piston unit B, bearing boss 43 of the former will frictionally abut the adjacent vertical face of end plate Il.
Driving linkage 45 interconnects drum 38 with driven shaft 23 and driven sleeve 24 of piston unit B, and includes a crank 46 whose hub 4l is removably axed, as by cross-pin 48, to the outer (left) end of driven shaft 23. A cooperative crank 49 has its hub 53 removably affixed, as by key 5I, to driven sleeve 24. Hub 5t of crank 49 is confined between hub 4i of crank 4S and bearing boss 26 of end plate Il and thus is in substantial axial alignment with said hub 6l. Roughly, crank 48 may be described as lying in the plane of its hub 55, whereas crank 46 is axiallyoffset inwardly to cause it to overlie hub 55 of crank 45 in the plane of the latter. Each of said cranks 46 and 49 is bifurcated radially outward from its hub. The bifurcated porti-on of crank 46 stra-oldies the inner end of a preferably bowed link 52 and is pivotally connected to the latter by a removable axially disposed screw pin 53, which is adapted to be operated in application or detachment by insertion of anysuitable turning tool (not shown) through aperture 46. The outer end of link 52 is pivotally connected to drum 33 by means of a removable screw pin 54, which is terminally engaged with both end walls 4I and 42 in axial spanning relation thereto. In like manner, a similar link 55 has its inner end pivctally connected to crank 49 by screw pin 56 and its outer end connected to the end walls of drum 38 by screw pin 57. The specific construction of cranks 45 and 49 and the arrangement of said cranks and links 52 and 55 in relation to the dead-center positions of the pistons of piston unit B is such that each leading piston of the pair in each working chamber will be driven through the complete 360 degrees of one operational cycle while the trailing piston is driven 90 degrees, or one-fourth as fast in angular speed. Upon completion of each cycle, the order of fast and slow movement of the pistons of each pair will be reversed, this alternating differential driving motion being in conformity with the well known mode of operation of single stage rotary pumps.
It has been stated previously herein that pistons 27-28 and 27"-28 are hollow in structure whereas pistons 2?'-28 are solid. This difference serves to reduce the degree of imbalance of the diametrically opposed sets of pistons to a minimum. Attention is now invited to the fact i that cranks 4E and 49 of differential driving unit C are enlarged in size and mass beyond what aces-,m4
would seem to be necessary. The reasonfor this enlargement is to make the 'cranks So heavy that, when they are disposed below the rotational'axis of piston unit B in the positions shown in Fig. 8A and all of the pistons thereof are in deadcenter condition, the weight of said cranks will counter-balance the excess weight of hollow pistons 21-28 and ZTL-28 over 'solid pistons 2'l28. The weight may be increased for a given size of crank by making it of metal that is heavier than that of which the pistons are made. This balancing feature is very important and makes the pump vibrationless and quiet in opera-- tion.
The pump is adapted to be driven by any suitable prime mover, such as an individual electric motor (not shown). To this end, a cupped face plate 58 is provided for fixed -connection to shaft 59 of the motor and detachable connection to outer end wall @l2 of drum 3S by such means as screws Eil. it will be noted that drum 38 is well adapted to serve as a pulley for engagement by the drive belt (not shown) of some other type of power system.
Due to the unit assembly feature, assembling the three principal units and dismounting the same is greatly simplied. For instance, assuming that the pump is completely assembled as illustrated in Figs. l to 4, inclusive, it may be separated into its component units in the following manner. First, face plate 58 is detached from its connection with drum 23S of differential drive unit C and said face plate and the motor are moved out of the way. Then, differential driving unit C is disconnected from piston unit B by simply knocking out cross-pin 48 and then pulling drum 38 axially outward until it is clear of the end of driven shaft23. After differential driving unit C has been moved out of the wat', screws il may be unscrewed to free end plate i'I from body i3 of casing unit A, whereupon the entire piston unit B, together with the integral partitioning means for working chambers is, il and I2 constituted by partitioning discs 39 and 32, may be extracted bodily from the left end of the casing bore. The advantages of this unit assembly feature should be self-evident,
The operation ofthe pump is likewise extremely simple though productive of Aresults heretofore unknown. Referring now to diagrammatic Fig. 9, it will be seen that, as the pistons in working chamber Iii Vof the basic pumping stageadvance through each cycle of operation, the air'or other fluid is sucked through intake port I3 from the suction pipe of the system into said chamber (see arrows) as the space between the trailing working face 35 of fast-moving pistonl" separates from the leading working face Sli of 'slowmoving piston 2S". at the same time, fluid previously entrained in this manner between leading working face 3:3 of piston 2l" and trailing working face 35 of pist-on 28 is being expelled through outlet port le and communicating duct 20 into working chamber Il as these last-mexitioned piston faces close on each other. It is during this cycle of pumping operation in working chamber le that compression of thefluid being evacuated therefrom into working chamber i I ordinarily would cause retrograde leakage between the frictional faces of the pistons and casing walls back into the suction pipe. Due, however, to the addition of working chamber li and its pistons 21' and 28', the tendency toward slip will be neutralized to a great degree, because the fluid displaced from working chamber il] plus the Afluid forced ahead of the vsame into communicating ductv2li will be sucked into the larger interior .of working chamber il, as indicated by lthe arrows. This is the primary stage of slip neutralization to which previous reference has been made. It also has been explained that neutralization of slip by this stage is not quite perfect, because there is an area between the frictional faces where rearward suction is opposed to forward pull of the pistons in working chamber il to such a degree that slight slip will occur. It is for this reason that the secondary slip-neutralization stage has been applied by the pumping action in working chamber l2. It will be seen that fluid evacuated by the pistons in working chamber il through outlet port le' and communicating duct 2l into working chamber l2 will be accommodated, to include the contents of said duct, by the still further increased piston displacement in said chamber vl 2. lIn fact, such perfect neutralization of slip has been achieved as a result of the combined primary and secondary stages thereof that a Vacuum pump constructed in accordance with 'the invention consistently produces a vacuum of 2 microns of mercury when operating at a shaft velocity of 800 R.
