  • Publication number: 20150118094
    Abstract: A positive displacement pump assembly includes a rotor housing defining a rotor cavity, and an end plate configured to at least partially close one end of the rotor cavity. Rotors are supported on and fixed to rotor shafts and extend through the rotor cavity. A first pair of bearings fixing the rotor shafts to the end plate. A second pair of bearings fixes the rotor shafts to the rotor housing, preventing relative axial movement between the rotor shafts and the rotor housing. The end plate is axially movable with the rotor shafts when the rotor shafts vary in axial length due to thermal fluctuations so that changes in an axial clearance at end faces of the rotors are reduced.

  • Patent number: 8932033
    Abstract: A positive displacement pump is provided. The pump includes a housing, and first and second meshed rotors rotatably disposed in the housing and arranged to transform relatively low-pressure inlet port air into relatively high-pressure outlet port air. The pump additionally includes first and second meshed timing gears fixed relative to the first and second rotors, respectively, for preventing contact between the first and second rotors, and sufficiently enclosed to generate a flow of lubricating fluid. Furthermore, the blower includes an input drive adapted to be rotatably driven at speeds proportional to speeds of an internal combustion engine and arranged to drive the first and second timing gears.

  • Patent number: 8757992
    Abstract: An air compression device is applied in an air compressor, and mainly includes a first rotor, a second rotor, a stop disk, a transmission element and a drive element. When external air enters an air chamber in the air compression device, the air is rotated and compressed by the first rotor and the second rotor, and then is exhausted, the transmission element generates axial displacement vertically according to actual requirements on air admission or exhaust, and drives the drive element and the first rotor to displace, so as to change a capacity of the air chamber, and adjust the air output.

  • Patent number: 8292597
    Abstract: A gear pump comprises a casing having an inlet, an interior, and an outlet. An inlet gear is positioned at the inlet and pressurizes fluid received at the inlet. A drive gear is positioned at the outlet of the casing, the drive gear receiving fluid pressurized by the inlet gear to output pressurized fluid at the outlet. A speed-reduction gear is meshed to the drive gear and connected to the at least one inlet gear, the speed-reduction gear having a greater number of teeth than the drive gear to reduce a rotational speed from the drive gear to the inlet gear, such that the inlet gear has a lower speed that the drive gear. An input shaft is coupled to the drive gear and receives a rotational input to actuate the drive gear.

  • Patent number: 7465158
    Abstract: A gear pump for an axle assembly circulates lubricating fluid from a reservoir to a fluid cooler external to the axle assembly. The gear pump includes a first housing section and a second housing section and a center section located between the first and second housing sections. An input gear mounted on an input shaft is engaged with a reduction gear, which are located in a first housing section. Two pumping gears are located in the second housing section. The center section serves as a wall and separates the first housing section from the second housing section. The gear ratio between the input gear and the reduction gear is such that the pumping gears rotate at a speed between at about 47% and at about 75% of the speed of the input shaft.

  • Patent number: 7128543
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6874486
    Abstract: A supercharger includes multiple back flow ports which are controlled by valves. The valves regulate the timing and area for back flow of pressurized outlet air into the rotor chambers. The back flow air tends to equalize air pressure in the chambers prior to their exhausting into the outlet and thereby reduces flow back noise. The multiple ports are opened selectively or sequentially to provide noise control with improved efficiency at varying speeds.

  • Patent number: 6783342
    Abstract: A rotary lobe pump includes two geared-together, counter-rotating shafts, to which are affixed rotors with interdigital lobes. Adjustment of the angular relationship of the rotors uses a clamping device within each rotor. The clamping device consists of a tapered, slotted bushing that is forced between a mating taper on the rotor and a locking device on the shaft by means of a flanged fastener mated to each pump shaft's threads.

  • Patent number: 6729863
    Abstract: 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.
