Title:
THE VOLUME ADJUSTABLE ROTARY SYSTEMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1999/057438
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The proposed rotary system, which is claimed to protect it here, is able to adjust the volume between rotors (6, 9) in internal and external rotary systems with lobs or gears. In the classic rotary systems, the volume between the rotors and the casing is constant, and the flow through the system can not be adjusted without any change in rotational speed. This is possible only when the rotational speed is accelerating. In the proposed system, the volume and the flow can be adjusted during operation even if the rotors have a constant rotational speed. The system consists of the classical rotary system components such as a casing, shafts, rotors, etc., and its own special tools, which are the rotor follower covers (7) and the stuffing fillers (5), as well. The flow is provided by a cavity among the casing, rotors, and covers. The rotors and rotor follower covers (7) rotate together around an axis. Also, they are able to move relatively close to each other. The rotors are able to slide inside the covers (7). This action adjusts the cavity volume and the flow through the system without any change in rotational speed.

Claims
1. This is a rotary system, which is able to adjust the volume between the rotors and the flow passing through the system without any change in the rotational speed. The volume can be adjusted using the rotor follower covers [7&8] (See Figure 3), and the stuffing fillers [5&10] (See Figure 3) beside the other classical rotary system components.
2. To be in possession of a special sliding action on the system mentioned in claim 1; the covers, fillers and rotors are able to move along the axes and parallel to the center line of rotation beside rotational movement (See Figure 5 thru 12).
3. To be able to adjust to the flow passing through the system using the sliding action mentioned in claim 2; the relative movement (back and forth) of the rotors and covers provides adjustment to the cavity volume between the rotors (See Figure 5 thru 12).
4. Approaching of the contra covers each other and covering the left section of the rotors while the rotors are moving apart each other to reduce the volume by means of the back and forth motion mentioned in claim 3.
Description:
The Volume Adjustable Rotary Systems Rotary systems can be used both in conveying fluids and creating a circular movement from liquids in motion. The pumps used in rotary system are significantly different from positive- displacement (reciprocal) pumps and dynamic (centrifugal) pumps although they have numerous types. In fact they are positive displacement pumps according to the classification of pumps. They have some similarities with dynamics pumps because of their circular movement.

If there is high pressure and lower rotation dynamics pumps are inadequate since their productivity decreases in lower speed. In fact after a certain point these pumps will not work.

The rotary pumps are good solution in cases demanding low rotational speed and high pressure.

In an ordinary rotary pump, the liquid volume passed throughout the pump is constant per unit rotation. This volume does not change according to rotational speed. To change the quantity of flow the rotational speed of the pump has to be changed. This causes some difficulties in systems having constant speed. The following rotary system, which we claim to protect it, has a special apparatus to prevent this problem. The flow can be adjusted without any friction inside or outside of the system.

The proposed system has two main differences from ordinary rotary pumps. In the proposed system there is a rotor/cover pair, in contrast to classic rotary systems that have just a simple rotor. In this system, the rotor is placed into a rotor follower cover. The rotor and rotor follower cover rotate circularly around the same axis. The other difference in the proposed system is that there is an additional movement parallel to the axis of principle rotation. An auxiliary apparatus moves the rotor and cover back and forth (Hereafter, this movement will be called as"sliding, or to slide"). This special movement along the axis is only used when the volume needs to change. The rotational speed does not need to change; it stays constant.

Following description explains the system with two rotors and two lobes (See Fig. 1). In the system there are two cylindrical halls partially overlapping (Fig. 2). In center of the each hall there is a shaft (See Fig. 3) [1,2]. The shafts have been connected each other by via cogwheels [3,4]. Each shaft has a stuffing filler [5,10], a rotor [6,9] and a rotor follower cover [7,8], respectively. This order is reverse on the second shaft (See Fig. 4). The rotors have two parts: cylindrical and elliptical parts. The cylindrical part of the rotor is always inside of the filler. The cross section of shafts has polygon shape, and they drive only rotors and covers. The fillers never rotate and they never get away from the related rotor. On the first shaft (drive shaft) the filler is fixed; the rotor can only rotate next to the filler while the cover can rotate and slide. On the second shaft (driven shaft) the cover can only rotate circularly; the rotor can rotate and slide; and the filler can slide together with the rotor. In the other words, in certain conditions the rotor on the second shaft, its filler, and the cover on the first shaft slide altogether. This sliding is not related with the circular rotation of rotors and their covers. Sliding can be performed by means of a special tool. The power and connection elements of the sliding and main rotational movement have not been drafted to keep the figures simple and to diagram the main function of the system. When the system is offthe rotors rotate together fully inside the covers (Fig. 5,7,9 & 11). In this situation even the rotors run, there is no flow since there is no volume between the rotors. There is no common surface between the rotors except that they contact each other on a corner point (Fig. 7). When the rotors have been forced apart from their covers (Fig. 6), a common surface between rotors is taken place (Fig. 8), and a cavity providing flow is created [11] (see Fig 10 & 11). This"sliding"Xlnovement changes the volume of the cavity. The principal rotational movement causes a flow like an ordinary rotary pump. The advance in proposed system is that there is a possibility of changing cavity volume between rotors without any change in rotational movement.
