description This paper proposes an Elliptical Rotor Scraper Pump (ERSP) to address traditional displacement pump defects, such as complex structures, poor self-sealing, low volume utilization, and considerable noise, etc. The ERSP utilizes a swing scraper instead of one rotor in a conventional multirotor pump or reciprocating moving vanes in a traditional vane pump and can achieve high-pressure output through pressure self-sealing. The swing scraper can divide the working chamber into high- and low-pressure rooms. Due to the small swing amplitude of the scraper, the ERSP has low operating noise. The ERSP rotor with an elliptical shape can significantly improve pump volume utilization, thus, forming a kind of fluid pump without a distribution valve, high pressure, and compact structure, and can work efficiently at high speed. This paper establishes a three-dimensional model and mathematical model for the ERSP, then develops the mathematical relationship between the scraper rotation angle and rotor rotation angle and carries out the simulation analysis based on MSC ADAMS. Then, the self-locking characteristics of the ERSP are studied through a force analysis of the swing scraper. Finally, our research group designs and produces a prototype based on existing research and verifies the superiority of the ERSP and the correctness of the non-self-locking condition through experiments. The results in this paper provide a reference for research on the self-locking characteristics of fluid rotor pumps and engineering optimization, which has great significance to the development of fluid power machinery.
