    摘要: An improved rotory positive displacement blower (10) of the Roots-type with reduced airborne noise and superior efficiency. The blower includes a housing (12) defining generally cylindrical chambers (32, 34) having cylindrical wall surfaces (20a, 20b) and containing meshed lobed rotors (14, 16) having the lobes (14a, 14b, 14c, 16a, 16b, 16c) thereon formed with an end-to-end helical twist according to the relation 360.degree./2n, where n equals the number of lobes per rotor. Preferably, n equals three. The blower housing (12) also defines inlet and outlet ports (36, 38) and the intersections of wall surfaces (20a, 20b) define a cusp (20d) associated with the inlet port (36) and a cusp (20e) associated with outlet port (38). The inlet and outlet port openings are skewed in opposite directions to increase the time the top lands of the lobes are in sealing relation with cylindrical walls (20a, 20b) of chambers ( 32, 34). Transverse boundaries (20g, 20i) of the inlet port are traversed by the lobes prior to traversal of the inlet port cusp (20d) by trailing ends (14h, 16h) of the lobes. In a similar manner, the transverse boundaries (20n, 20r) of the outlet port are traversed by the lobes subsequent to traversal of the outlet port cusp (20e) by leading ends (14g, 16g) of the lobes. Elongated backflow slots (40, 42) having a length/width ratio of at least four are disposed on opposite sides of the outlet port cusp and substantially parallel to the traversing lobes of the associated rotor. The backflow slots are traversed by the lobes prior to traversal of cusp (20e) and outlet port boundaries (20n, 20r) by the lobes.

    摘要: An improved supercharger or blower (10) of the Roots-type with reduced airborne noise and improved efficiency. The blower includes a housing (12) defining generally cylindrical chambers (32, 34) containing meshed lobed rotors (14, 16) having the lobes (14a, 14b, 14c, 16a, 16b, 16c) thereon formed with an end-to-end helical twist according to the relation 360.degree./2n, where n equals the number of lobes per rotor. The chambers include cylindrical wall surfaces 20a, 20b and end wall surfaces 20c, 24a which sealing cooperate with the rotor lobes and ends. Blower housing (12) also defines inlet and outlet ports (36, 38).

    摘要: An improved Roots-type blower (10) and fixture (200) for timing rotors (20, 22) and timing gears (36, 38) of the blower during assembly. The blower includes a housing (12) defining generally cylindrical chambers containing the rotors having meshed, helical lobes (20c, 22c). The rotors are fixed to stepped diameter shafts (24, 26) pressed into stepped bores (20d, 22d) in the rotors. Straight splines on the shafts respectively form mating splines in the rotor bores and in the hub bore of timing gear (36). In a modified form of the blower, the straight splines form matting splines in both timing gears. The shafts are supported in the housing by fixed ball bearings (28, 30) at one end of the rotors and at the other end by ball bearing (32, 34) resiliently biased by springs which preload all four bearings. The fixture includes a base (202) having two surfaces (202f, 240a) for supporting ends (20b, 22b) of the rotors. Surface ( 202f) is integral with the base and surface (240a) is rotatable relative to surface (202f). The surfaces transversely space the shafts and rotors the same parallel distance apart they will have after final assembly of the blower and provide support of pressing the gears on the shafts. An annular gear (246), fixed to surface (240a) and having the same pitch diameter of rotor lobes ( 20c, 22c), drives a rack gear (260) which in turn drives a dial indicator (282) providing a direct readout of backlash between the lobe in response to rotation of surface (240a). Springs (268, 272) resiliently bias the rack gear into the annular gear to remove backlash.

    摘要: An improved supercharger (10) of the Roots-type. The supercharger includes a three-piece housing assembly (14, 16, 18) defining generally cylindrical chambers containing two rotors (20, 22) having meshed lobes (20c, 22c) of modified involute profile which pump air from an unshown inlet to an outlet (56). The rotors are fixed to stepped diameter shafts (24, 26) pressed into centrally located through bores in the rotors. Straight splines (24e, 26e) on the shafts form mating splines in the rotor bores to prevent rotation of the shafts in the bores. Bearing assembly (28, 30) disposed at adjacent ends (20a, 22a) of the rotors support one end of the rotors in the housing and fix the axial position of that end of rotors relative to the housing. Bearing assemblies (32, 34) at the outer adjacent ends (20b, 22b) of the rotors support the other end of the rotors in the housing. The bearing assemblies (32, 34) include inner races pressed on shaft bosses (24b, 26b) and outer races slidably disposed in wear-resistant sleeves pressed into bores in housing end section 18. The outer races of bearing assemblies (32, 34) are biased away from bearing assemblies (29, 30) to remove radial and axial bearing play in all of the bearing assemblies.

    摘要: An improved valve disabler control for a multi-cylinder engine having individually pivoted rocker arms and an intake and exhaust valve pair for each cylinder. Half of the valve pairs are provided with valve disablers having rotatable sleeves. Rotation of the sleeves counterclockwise (ccw) allows sliding movement of the rocker arm fulcrums, thereby disabling the valves; clockwise (cw) rotation of the sleeves prevents sliding movement of the fulcrums, thereby enabling the valves. The improved control includes a link and a spring interconnecting the disabler sleeves for each valve pair. Each link rotates the intake valve disabler sleeve ccw in response to ccw rotation of the exhaust valve disabling sleeve. A slot connecting each link to the intake valve disabler sleeve allows cw rotation of the exhaust valve disabler sleeve before cw rotation of the intake valve disabler sleeve. Each spring provides a cw biasing force to the sleeves. The biasing force increases in response to ccw rotation of the sleeves. Actuation of a second valve disabler pair in response to exhaust valve disabler actuation of a first valve disabler pair is provided by a spring-link and slot arrangement interconnecting the exhaust valve disabler sleeves of two valve pairs.
