Patent number: 7128543Abstract: The compressor machine has two rotors rotating in opposite directions, which are fitted to two parallel, spaced apart shafts mounted in a housing. One of the shafts is driven directly and the other by intermeshing toothed gears mounted on the shafts. The housing has two radial walls which are configured in one piece with each other and with a peripheral wall and in which the shafts are mounted. The toothed gears are arranged between these radial walls. A side wall of the housing has an opening sealed by a removable cover. With the cover removed, the toothed gears can be fitted to the shafts through these openings. The bearing bores for the shafts can be produced and machined in the one-piece housing in a single set-up, so that, with a minimum number of parts, any causes of alignment errors are avoided.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2003Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Rietschle Thomas Schopfheim, GmbHInventors: Fritz-Martin Scholz, Wolf-Rudiger Wagener, Daniel Greiner

Patent number: 7077635Abstract: A pump (12) for generating pressure and/or negative pressure comprises a pump chamber having a high-pressure port (16) and a low-pressure port (14), and two at least two-blade rotors which are mounted in the pump chamber on two parallel shafts offset in relation to each other. The rotors roll off onto each other free of contact during rotation while forming cells with an internal compression. Provision is made for a supply of a cooling agent (21) into the pump chamber, the supply being closed-loop controlled depending on the temperature on the side of the high-pressure port (16).Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2001Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: Werner Rietschle GmbH + Co.

Patent number: 6779968Abstract: A side channel compressor comprises an inlet port (42) for gas and an outlet port (44) for compressed gas as well as a side channel (32) which provides a flow connection between the inlet port (42) and the outlet port (44), the cross-section of the side channel (32) diminishing between the inlet port (42) and the outlet port (44). The side channel (32) has at least one section in which it has a cross-section in the form of a half ellipse and in which the maximum depth of the channel (32) continuously diminishes towards the outlet port (44).Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2002Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignee: Werner Rietsche GmbH & Co., KGInventors: Dieter Rietschle, Fritz-Martin Scholz, Markus Britsche, Oliver Mayer, Reinhard Garczorz

Patent number: 6729863Abstract: The pump for generating pressure or negative pressure comprises a pump chamber (32) which has a high-pressure port and a low-pressure port. Two rotors (28, 30) having at least two blades are fitted to two parallel shafts (20, 22) in the pump chamber (32) that are offset to each other, the shafts defining an axial direction. A drive (10) is arranged on an end face of the rotors (28, 30) and a housing cover (34) is arranged on the opposite side. The housing cover (34) is configured cup-shaped and the high-pressure port (42) as well as the low-pressure port (40) are integrated in the housing cover (34). The inner wall (44) of the housing cover (34) delimits the pump chamber (32) on an end face and has two axial openings (46, 48) one each adjoining by one channel (40, 42) which is integrated in the body of the housing cover (34). The axial opening (48) for the high-pressure port, in operation of the pump, is covered by one of the rotors (28, 30) for a time to enable inner compression of the delivered medium.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2002Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Werner Rietschle GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Fritz-Martin Scholz
