Claims priority, application Germany ct. 29, 1954 4 Claims. (Cl. 230-138) to regulate the transmitted amount of gas without steps,

it is necessary to use a movable steering device which holds the inlet channel open during the compression stroke for a shorter or longer time period.

In the event an excessive amount of gas has been sucked in this excess is transmitted during this time back into the suction conduit, with the result that the counterpressure in the cylinder isreached at a later time period. If the outflow edge were to remain unchanged at the same location then gas would ow hackv from the pressure conduit into the cylinder and would have to be'withdrawn for a second time. In case of a substantial gas ow this would result in substantial losses in energy and excessive knocking. Therefore it was found necessary to provide for a shifting of the steering edge for the outow.

It is apparent from each compressor diagram that the required distances for such adjustment are quite different for inilow and outflow steering edges. Therefore, it is not easily possible to regulate a rotory compressor at the inflow and outflow sides by means of a common steering slide.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above drawbacks of prior art constructions and to provide better regulation.

Another object is to provide a separate device by means of which the inlet and the outlet of a rotary compressor can be effectively regulated by a special construction.

In accomplishing the objects of the present invention it was found desirable to provide a single steering device for adjusting the steering edges controlling the inlet and the outlet openings provided in the rotor of the compressor on the one hand and on the other hand in the casing or the immovable hollow axis thereof. According to the invention two rotors located one Within the other are pro` vided, and the inflow and outilow take place by means of openings which are provided in one of the rotors and also in the casing or the immovable hollow axis.

The invention will appear more clearly from the following detailed description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings showing, by way of example, preferred embodiments of the inventive idea.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a diagrammatic section through a compressor constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a compressor diagram.

Figure 3 is a diagrammatic section through a somewhat different compressor.

latent Figure 4 is another compressor diagram.

Figure 5 is a diagrammatic section through yet another compressor.

Figures 6 and 7 are working diagrams thereof.

Figure 8 is a section through still another compressor, and Figures 9 and 10 are working diagrams thereof.

The compressor shown in Figure 1 has rotors 1 and 2 which rotate about different axesin the same direction but with different speeds. The two rotors 1 and 2 and the enclosing parts defining three separate cylindrical spaces,- namely, a suction chamber 3, a suction cham-ber 4 and a compression chamber 5. .In the illustrated position of the two rotors the suction chamber 3 has the largest obtainable suction volume. If at that time the chamber 3 is already closed with respect to the suction tube 6, then as the rotors continue theirmovement gas will be compressed in the chamber 3 and finally will ilow into the pressure tube 7.

The casing of the machine includes an immovable piece 8 of curved form which has a lower edge 10 steering the inflow of the gas. The machine is also provided with a steering slide 9 having a right-hand edge 11 (looking in the direction of Figure 1), which steers the outflow of the gas.

The slide 9 may be shifted clockwise in the direction of the arrow illustrated in Figure l until its edge 11 assumes the position shown by broken lines. At that time the opposite edge 12 of the slide 9 will form with the member 8 a slot connecting the suction chamber 3 with the suction pipe 6.

When the rotors are further rotating the chamber 3 will continue to become smaller and a part of the sucked in gas will flow again into the suction space 6; this will continue until the steering edge 13 of the rotor 2 has passed the edge 12 of the slide 9. Thereafter the gas remaining in the chamber 3 will be compressed and removed. Due to the movement of the slide 9 its steering edge 11 has moved beyond the position shown in full lines in Figure l so that the gas is removed at a later time period.

The operation of the compressor constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention is indicated upon the compressor diagram shown in Figure 2 illustrating relative changes in volume as a function of relative changes in pressure. On that diagram the line 14 represents the diminution of the suction volume when after a slight movement of the slide 9 there is a narrow slit between the member 8 and the slide 9, and whereby during further turning of the rotor gas ows through this slit from the suction chamber 3 to the suction tube 6. Then the edge 12 of the slide 9 takes over the functions of the edge 10 of the member 8. When the slide 9 is moved further, the edge 12 will separate the suction chamber 3 from the suction tube 6 at a later time period and then an amount of gas corresponding to the line 15 can ow additionally back to the suction tube 6. Thus, the total amount of gas returned to the suction conduit is equal to the sum of the distances 14 and 15. The distance 16 represents the change in the beginning of the outow caused by the fact that due to the angular shifting of the slide 9, the edge 11 which causes the beginning of the outflow is moved to the same angular etxent as the edge 12.

Since the changes in the volume of the cylindrical chambers do not take place linearly depending upon angular movements, the lengths 15 and 16 are not equal to each other. Since the relationship is a sine function, as in the case of every crank drive, Without the member 8 the line 16 would be many times longer than the line 15; however the line 16 must be considerably shorter in view of the amount to be compressed. The correct ratio is provided in this case by -the member 8, i.e. the addition fin :3,

The rotary compressor shown in Figure 5 has two `rotors 1a and 2a which rotate about different axes and with different speeds but in the same direction. VThese two rotors form three separate operating chambers 3a, 4a and 5a. In the-position shown Yin Figure 5 the chamber 3a is ir1creasin'g`-in1 'sizeand'iF'scksn the gas from .jtheyintakez conduit 6a.

The machine includes a no-loadmchannel 120 which Vis connected with the intake channel 6 or with atmospheric airfandwhich is opened by thejsteering edge'113 of the slide 9a, which; causes the-end of the outow procedure. Due to the provision of the`noload channel-129, and when the slide 9a isset to a position corresponding to the smallest partial load, it is'possible toincreasethe regula tion ofthe'partial load` range to a no-load regulation.

' If now the slide 9a is further shifted in the direction of therotation, beyond the positionsho'wn by broken lines lin jFigure 5," then the channel'will be opened by the edgeV 113so that adirectvconriectionvis provided bythe suction or intake.' conduitY close to the'ifinlet' fopening into the machine.

E well as in the ones earlier described, the change in volume is illusrtated as a function of the change in pressure. The line designated at 1 ata represents the line of atmospheric pressure. When the slide 9a is in the no-load position and the regulating valve in the suction tube is closed, the operating pressure of the machine is below the atmospheric line, as indicated in Fig. 7. The length 121 corresponds to the amount of gas which must be compressed continuously at a substantially reduced intake pressure, and which results from lack of complete sealing. The point 122 upon the compression curve characterizes the steering position reached by the edge 11a and the length 123 corresponds to the amount of gas flowing back from the compression conduit 7a into the 'working chamber a until the chamber is cut off by the steering edge 113. Then the amount of gas enclosed in the working chamber 5a can expand while giving up power until the steering edge 24 establishes the connection between the chamber 5a and the intake conduit 6a.

The additional regulation of the transmitted amount of gas by the steering edge 113 can be increased to such an extent that regulation by steering edge 12a becomes superuous. Then the construction of the regulating device is considerably simplified.

Figure 8 illustrates a construction wherein the movable slide 25 has two steering edges 26 and 27. The edge 26 terminates the gas outow while the edge 27 regulates the beginning of the take-in. The edge 28 which determines the beginning of the outflow is formed by the immovable casing.

Figure 9 illustrates a full-load diagram which occurs in If the slide 2S is shifted downwardly into the position shown by broken lines in Figure 8, gas can flow back from the compression conduit into the working space which begins to increasel again. This procedure is indicated in the diagram of Figure 9 by the line 29. When the Working space is closed off by the edge 26 the gas expands giving up power until the steering edge 27 provides for a connection to the intake conduit. Line 36 remaining upon the intake line of the diagram shown in Figure 9, indicates the actual sucked-in partial load amount.

This regulating device can be also amplified through the addition of a no-load device. Figure 8 shows a channel 31 which again provides for a connection between the compression conduit and the atmospheric air or the intake conduit.

A valve (not shown) is used to close the intake or suction conduit by hand or automatically. When the valve is closed a no-load diagram is produced which may have the form shown in Figure l0.

It is apparent that various changes may be made in the described regulating devices. rI'hese devices, particularly the device shown in Figure 8, may be used for the regulating of admission in expansion machines. All such and other variations and modifications are to be included within the scope of the present invention.
