Abstract
A rotor disk of a vane compressor includes a multiple of slots along an outer diameter and a multiple of magnets along an inner diameter. Each of the multiple of slots is radially aligned with one of the multiple of magnets.
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a vane compressor and more particularly to a vane compressor with an integral motor.
- Rotary vane compressors utilize vanes that work with a cam or sealing surface to form a series of decreasing volumes. With suitable port connections, the rotary vane compressor may operate as a pump.
- A rotor according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes a rotor disk with a multiple of slots along an outer diameter and a multiple of magnets along an inner diameter. Each of the multiple of slots is radially aligned with one of the multiple of magnets.
- A rotary vane compressor according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes a rotor within a non-circular cam. A stator within the rotor forms a motor to rotate the rotor within the non-circular cam about the stator.
- A method of minimizing a rotor diameter within a rotary vane compressor according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes locating each of a multiple of vanes within respect to a magnetic field to minimize disruption to the magnetic field.
- Various features will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the disclosed non-limiting embodiment. The drawings that accompany the detailed description can be briefly described as follows:
-
FIG. 1 is a general schematic view of a rotary compressor system; -
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the magnetic field lines within the rotary compressor system and the location of the vanes thereto in one non-limiting embodiment; and -
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of another non-limiting embodiment of the rotary compressor system with the magnets arranged 90 degrees from the non-limiting embodiment of theFIG. 2 -
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates arotary compressor system 20. Therotary compressor system 20 generally includes anon-circular cam 22, arotor 24 and astator 26. Therotor 24 includes arotor disk 28 with a multiple ofmagnets 30. Therotor disk 28 interacts with thestator 26 to form anintegral motor 32 to drive therotor 24 about an axis of rotation A within thenon-circular cam 22. Theintegral motor 32 is essentially an inside-out motor at the center of therotary compressor system 20 which reduces the overall size and weight of the system through combination of several components. - The
rotor disk 28 defines a multiple ofslots 34 spaced apart about anouter diameter 28A thereof within which amovable vane 36 is respectively located. Eachvane 36 is extensible and retractable within one of therespective slots 34 to form a seal with thenon-circular cam 22. Themagnets 30 are located along aninner diameter 28B of therotor disk 28. Themagnets 30 may be axially integrated within therotor disk 28. - The number of phases of the
motor 32 is matched to the number ofvanes 36. That is, eachvane 36 is associated and radially aligned with eachmagnet 30 to facilitate a reduction in the size of therotor disk 28 as thevanes 36 may thereby be located closer to theinner diameter 28B without disruption to the magnetic field (FIG. 2 ). That is, eachvane 36 is radially aligned with eachmagnet 30 such that eachvane 36 is nestled between the magnetic field lines formed between associatedmagnets 30. - With reference to
FIG. 3 , themagnets 30′ may be rotated 90 degrees as compared to the non-limiting embodiment described above. The rotation of themagnets 30′ removes the need for a back iron from an electromagnetism standpoint permits location of thevanes 36′ to be located adjacent to themagnets 30′. A relativelysmall ring 38 may be located about themagnets 30′ for mechanical support to further reduce the outer radius of therotor 24′ and reduce the overall size of the compressor system. - Integration of the
motor 32 minimizes the potential for rotor tipping and reduces the number of complex parts. - It should be understood that like reference numerals identify corresponding or similar elements throughout the several drawings. It should also be understood that although a particular component arrangement is disclosed in the illustrated embodiment, other arrangements will benefit herefrom.
- Although particular step sequences are shown, described, and claimed, it should be understood that steps may be performed in any order, separated or combined unless otherwise indicated and will still benefit from the present disclosure.
- The foregoing description is exemplary rather than defined by the limitations within. Various non-limiting embodiments are disclosed herein, however, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that various modifications and variations in light of the above teachings will fall within the scope of the appended claims. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the disclosure may be practiced other than as specifically described. For that reason the appended claims should be studied to determine true scope and content.
