| description | Against the backdrop of the rapid burgeoning of international energy engineering, the efficient utilization of energy is a paramount factor. The key idea in this paper is to propose an elliptical rotor scraper pump (ERSP) in order to address the imperfections and defects of traditional volume pumps, such as their labyrinthine design, low volume utilization efficiency and undesirable sealing performance. The ERSP can dramatically achieve the aims of ameliorating pump structure and improving energy efficiency. One of the Roots pump's rotors or the vane pump's shifting blade is replaced by a swing scraper in the ERSP. It is worth noting that a small swing range is a high-priority feature of the scraper; the scraper not only serves the purpose of dividing the pump cavity and self-sealing the unit but also reduces the noise level when working. A vital function of ERSP is the efficient conversion of mechanical energy into fluid pressure energy by changing the volume. Simultaneously, based on theoretical analysis, the mathematical model of the ERSP is established, and its kinematic characteristics are investigated, using ADAMS to verify the kinematic rationality of the ERSP. Ultimately, the research group manufactured a prototype of the pump, based on the previous simulation results and calculations, and experiments verified the feasibility of the pump. The design and research of the ERSP have essential reference significance for the development of fluid energy machinery technology. |
