Abstract:
A scroll type apparatus for fluid displacement is disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus (10) includes an adjustment mechanism (88) capable of being adjusted after assembly of the apparatus to close an axial gap between scroll members (14, 42) and account for manufacturing tolerances in apparatus components. In another embodiment, the apparatus includes an orbital scroll (42) of two portions (44, 46), with a supporting portion (44) surrounding an eccentric bearing (34) of higher density than that of a scroll portion (46). The center of mass of the orbital scroll is thus moved towards the eccentric bearing to reduce torquing of the scroll as it orbits. In a further embodiment, the apparatus includes n orbital scroll (42) having two portions, a supporting portion (44) surrounding an eccentric bearing (34) having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than that of scroll portion (46), to reduce thermal expansion of the supporting portion, reducing misalignment of the orbital scroll on the eccentric bearing.
Abstract:
A scroll-type compressor (10) or other rotating machine employs a crankshaft (36) having an integral counterweight (50) to compensate for the off-axis orbiting motion of the device's orbiting scroll (26). The crankshaft (36) is unitarily formed with a generally cylindrical crank portion (42) at an upper end of the shaft (36), and with the counterweight (50) formed immediately adjacent the crank (36). The counterweight (50) is preferably in the form of a segment of a cylinder of smaller radius than that is disposed within the radius of the cylindrical passage of the stator (40). This permits the rotor and shaft assembly (36), with counterweight (50), to be assembled from below after installation of the stator (40).
Abstract:
A vane pump includes: a rotor having a plurality of slots formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof; a vane slidably inserted into each of the slots; and a cam ring having the rotor therein and having a inner circumferential surface in contact with an end portion of the vane, wherein the rotor is formed of nodular graphite cast iron, the vane is formed of high speed tool steel, and the cam ring is formed of alloy cast iron.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an axial piston machine, comprising a housing the casting of which is optimized in respect to casting and in the bottom of which an insert ring is formed which is optimized with respect to the pressure load. The invention further relates to an insert ring for such an axial piston machine.
