Fluid compressor or pump apparatus

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus which may be in the form of a pump or compressor and which can function to compress or accelerate a fluid such as air, gas, gaseous mixtures and/or liquid. In particular, the invention provides a mechanism in which fluid can be admitted and then discharged continuously from each of the radial compartments that make up the compressor chamber.

主权项

1. An apparatus for pumping or compressing a fluid, the apparatus comprising:
a compressor chamber including a means of compressing admitted fluid, wherein the compressing means comprises a plurality of radial compartments wherein intermittent baffles define a boundary for each radial compartment, enclosed therein said radial compartment is a solid triangular segment adapted to move relative to the baffles that define the radial compartments, said radial compartments having two inlet apertures to admit fluid and two outlet holes to discharge pressurized fluid; a fluid control arrangement adapted to control admitted and/or discharged fluid to and from the radial compartments making up the compressor chamber; a valve including a rotatable circular plate or ring with a series of symmetrically placed holes there along such that the rotation of this circular plate or ring with the intermittent holes allows the opening or partial opening of one inlet aperture to one of the radial compartments of the compressor portion and the closing or partial closing of the other inlet aperture of the one compartment; said valve further including one way control valves on each of the outlet apertures of the radial compartments of the compressor portion; and means for oscillating the baffles in a back and forth oscillation movement to create relative movement between the baffles against the triangular segments to create a bellowing effect to admit fluid into the respective radial compartments and a simultaneous discharge thereout through one of the outlet apertures.
