Equal-walled gerotor pump for wellbore applications

One example of a gerotor pump includes an inner rotor comprising multiple teeth, the inner rotor configured to rotate about a first longitudinal gerotor pump axis. The gerotor pump also includes a hollow outer rotor including an outer surface and an inner surface having substantially identical contours, the inner surface configured to engage with the multiple teeth and to rotate about a second longitudinal gerotor pump axis. The pump includes a pump housing within which the inner rotor and the outer rotor are disposed, wherein the outer surface of the outer rotor defines gaps between the pump housing and the outer rotor.

A shaft extending along a longitudinal axis has fluid channels that increase and decrease pressure in chambers formed between the interior ends of curved pistons and adjacent closed ends of curved chambers within which the pistons reciprocate as the chamber pressure increases and decreases. The chambers and pistons are in separate cylinder block segments extending outward from opposing sides of the shaft. Each segment may have two sides extending along radial planes and joined by a curved outer surface. Pistons may be provided in pairs and have an interior piston end of each piston in a different cavity in different segments. Exterior ends of each piston in a pair of pistons are connected to a piston connector that extends inwardly from a housing so the housing rotates with the pistons.

Scroll compressor having oldham coupling with key portions projecting from horizontal surfaces into key grooves

A scroll compressor includes a movable scroll having first key grooves, a stationary member having second key grooves, and an Oldham coupling provided between the movable scroll and stationary member. The Oldham coupling is movable with respect to the stationary member along a first axis, and with respect to the movable scroll along a second axis. The Oldham coupling has an annular body portion, at least two first key portions fitted into the first grooves, and a pair of second key portions fitted into the second grooves. The first horizontal surface has inwardly positioned surfaces positioned more on a center of gravity side of the Oldham coupling than virtual extension lines of first inner peripheral edges that are part of an inner peripheral edge of the annular body portion. The first key portions have inwardly positioned portions that project from the inwardly positioned surfaces.

Spherical energy converter
10914173 · 2021-02-09 ·

The invention relates to a spherical working chamber and to two flat rotary pistons as internally turning, rotating pistons that are used to produce energy, which flat rotary pistons are driven by means of a descent of creeks, rivers or gray water and rainwater from high-rise buildings. Because of the even rotation of the output shaft of the flange-mounted transmission, an electrical generator can be connected. The energy converter plus generator can also be used as a mobile unit in emergency situations at waterfalls in order to generate electricity.

The present invention provides a rotary engine comprising: a housing provided with three lobe accommodation parts; a rotor which is provided with two lobes continuously accommodated in the lobe accommodation parts, has an intake storage part communicating with an intake port provided on the front surface-side, and has an exhaust storage part communicating with an exhaust port provided on the rear surface-side; an intake-side housing cover provided with an intake hole communicating with the intake storage part; an exhaust-side housing cover provided with an exhaust hole communicating with the exhaust storage part; and a crankshaft, wherein the flow of an exhaust gas into a stroke chamber during an intake stroke is reduced by preventing the exhaust storage part, at a portion of a section in which the exhaust port is open, from communicating with the exhaust hole during the intake stroke.

Rotary engine with its passive piston running at variable speed

One embodiment may include a rotary engine, whose cylinder is in doughnut-shape. A cross-section of the cylinder is circular. The engine includes a pair of rotation disks, a power disk and passive disk. A power-output shaft is coaxial with an axis of the cylinder. A power piston and passive piston rotate around an axis of the power-output shaft. A space between the power piston in front and the passive piston at the back is a working chamber. When combustion and expansion take place in the working chamber, the power piston will be pushed forward continuously by the expanding gases, and output power via the power-output shaft. The passive piston relies on a driving system to drive it moving forward. Volume of the working chamber varies within one revolution of rotation. Larger volume of the working chamber causes combustion and expansion. Smaller volume of the working chamber causes compression and emission.
