First Claim
Patent Images
1. A rotor for a Roots type vacuum pump having two identical rotors which exhibit a basically figure eight shaped profile contour and includes four profile sections at the base and four profile sections at the top comprising in combination:
- A) a first profile contour at the base of the rotor defined by an (x, y, ρ
) system of coordinates relative to the rotor as follows;
i) the value of y which corresponds to 1/2 of the shorter rotor diameter B at ρ
=x=0 lies between 0.5 a and (1=√
2/2) a where a=the rolling circle diameter;
ii) the angle of inclination of the tangent a(ρ
) progresses between ρ
=0° and
ρ
=45°
as follows;
up to 5°
approx. a(ρ
)<
ρ
from 5°
to 40°
approx. a(ρ
)>
ρ
from 40°
to 45°
approx. a(ρ
)<
ρ
; and
B) a second profile contour at the top of the rotor corresponding to the profile at the base of the rotor and to the rolling projection of the contour of the profile of the base.
