Abstract:
A fluid machine such as a pump, compressor, engine, motor or transmission has working chambers in a rotor and a central rotor-hub is provided in the rotor for the reception of a control pintle therein. The control pintle has control ports for the control of flow of fluid into and out of the working chambers of the rotor. Pressure fields form in the clearance between the rotor hub and the control pintle especially around the control ports. Leakage flows from the pressure fields through portions of the clearance between the rotor--hub and the control pintle which reduces the efficiency of the machine. Therefore means are provided in the control pintle to press those portions of the faces of the rotor hub and of the control pintle, which have those local pressure fields, together or to narrow the clearance between these faces in the respective areas where those pressure fields are located in order to reduce the leakage through the clearance between the faces of the rotor hub and the control pintle. In detail, the invention provides, in the central pintle, radially directed thrust chambers with thrust bodies therein at the proper locations and sizes to obtain an economic device with only small leakage.
Abstract:
The former art provides multi-stroke hydrostatic motors, which perform at a single revolution of the rotor multiple inward and outward strokes of the pistons. A high torque was thereby obtained. The invention discovers, that the know multi-stroke motors have still relatively short piston strokes in relation to the diameter of the rotor.The invention increases the efficiency of multiple stroke motors by the provision of control communications to control the flow of fluid pressure into pockets open to the piston faces and cylinder walls, whereby the torque of the rotor is transferred from the pistons to the cylinder walls by high pressure fluid in the pockets. The invention also provides radial guide extensions to enlarge the stroke of the pistons in a given size and weight of the device combined with the partial movement of the pockets along the guide extensions.
Abstract:
In a fluid pump or motor improvements are provided to the piston shoes therein to permit a higher pressure in the respective device. Other improvements are done to the hydrostatic bearings in radial piston or radial chamber type fluid motors and pumps. A further arrangement is, that plural pistons are applied to permit the use of two different fluids in the respective device. This leads also to the application of disc springs and their modification in a pump or motor to make the pumping of non-viscous fluids like water possible at very high pressure. Motors are provided with arrangements to permit them to drive and to carry simultaneously or to have hollow shafts, whereby improved and novel machines and vehicles are obtained.
Abstract:
On piston shoes in radial piston pumps, motors and engines the radial load which is excerted by the pressure under the piston onto the piston shoe is to a high rate borne by hydrostatic bearings between the piston shoe and the inner guide face of the piston stroke actuator ring. At high revolutions per given time the centrifugal forces appearing from the masses of piston and shoe increase drastically which results therein, that the bearing capacity of the hydrostatic bearing fails to bear the increased load. The invention gives rules how additional hydrodynamic bearing portions can become provided on the outer portions of the piston shoes, whereby those portions will carry an additional load by hydrodynamic actions. Since the bearing capacity of such bearing portions increases with increase of the rotary speed of the device, the applicable range of revolutions per minute can be increased by the application of the invention.
Abstract:
Propellers are provided to drive a vehicle or to bear a vehicle in air. Such propellers have commonly been fixed to wings or fuselages. The fixed locations of the propellers limited the abilities and capabilities of the respective vehicle. The invention now provides arrangements on or to propellers which makes it possible to change the location of the respective propeller relative to another portion of the vehicle. The change of the location of the propeller in relation to another portion of the vehicle makes it possible to improve the abilities or capabilities of the vehicle. Specifically beneficial effects are obtained by applying the invention to propeller-pairs. Specific relations of locations of propellers to wings or to flow of air in combination with means to pivot portions of the arrangement(s) can lead to better overall efficiencies, speeds, bearing capacities, economy or comfort of the vehicle or of portions thereof.
Abstract:
A toothbrush is provided with bristles to brush and clean the teeth. Since there are cavities between neighboring teeth it is useful to exercise a multidirectional brushing of the teeth and cavities. The handle of the tooth brush is therefor provided with a fluid motor which is driven by fluid, for example by fluid from the water pipe which is available in the living quarters. The fluid motor revolves a rotary member wherein a space with a therein reciprocable piston is provided. The piston rod engages one end of a lever of a transfer arrangement and swings the lever. The other end of the lever then swings the outgoing shaft of the housing. By attaching a tooth brush to the swinging outgoing shaft the brush can do a multi directional movement for better brushing of the teeth and the cavities between the teeth.
Abstract:
A hydraulic arrangement has a housing which includes a first space of a definite first pressure and a second space with a lower second pressure. A primary pump supplies fluid under the first pressure into the first space to open the entrance ports into cylinders, which contain pistons therein, whereby the pistons are forced partially out of the cylinders and into the mentioned second space. In the second space the pistons are moved inwardly into the cylinders by an eccentric cam ring to supply a flow of fluid of a fourth pressure out of the outlet of the arrangement's housing. In modified embodiments the arrangement is a pressure transmission, which takes in a third pressure to drive a motor in the arrangement which in turn drives the shaft with the eccentric cam and the unit then exits the fourth pressure, which might be a very high pressure of up to more than ten thousand pounds per square inch. Still other embodiments show in several modifications a device to reciprocate or oscillate exterior linear or rotary motors either permanently or stepwise in predetermined cycles. Working actions of machines or vehicles can so be driven and controlled by the arrangement without additional control facilities, when so desired.
Abstract:
In hydrostatic pumps, motors and transmissions; faces, which slide and seal along adjacent faces, commonly have recesses for hydrostatic lubrication or for control of flow through ports.The invention provides additional arrangements on such faces for the provision of additional functions, for example, for the control of hydrodynamic flow into spaces between faces, the control of an additional control flow through the faces and the sealing therof or it provides recesses or seal inserts of specific locations or configurations for the improvement of the efficiency of the faces or for assurance of additional actions by the faces.
Abstract:
In a fluid machine, wherein fluid flows through working chambers, as in pumps, compressors, motors, transmissions, a rotor and a drive shaft are revolvingly borne in the housing of the machine. Since slight departures of the axes of the rotor and shaft from each other might result in wearing of faces or in widened clearances in the machine, the shaft and rotor are coupled flexibly. The coupling is managed by providing the drive shaft with arms or fingers and the rotor with gaps whereby the gaps are extending into the axially seen medial rotor portion. The arms or fingers are engaging the walls of the gaps in the mentioned medial rotor portion, whereby tilting components of forces, which might occur, when the coupling would be on an axial end of the rotor, are prevented.
