Silent gear pump or motor suppressing troubles of trapping fluid

Abstract

Fluid delivery devices using a pair of meshed external gears, in spite of no reciprocating component for fluid delivery enabling low rotational vibration, the high noise due to the trapping phenomenon, and the teeth bouncing contact due to undesired large backlash heretofore afforded in the gear manufacturing process, restrict the employments in the industrial field requiring quiet environment such as electric motor vehicles or room services. Accordingly, a gear pump or motor or a gear refrigerating compressor comprising a shaft gear and a driven gear meshed rotatably within a gear chamber formed with a housing and opposite side walls, which delivers fluids from a inlet chamber to a outlet chamber; a backlash of the meshed gears having fluid-leak-tight clearance; a closed chamber provided in a internal portion of at least a side wall; an opening provided on a side wall from which a communication passage extends to a closed chamber; and at least a elastic disc capsule contained in the closed chamber, comprising a pair of concaved elastic disc plate abutted and sealed against each other with gas inside, of which occupying volume varies elastically subject to the fluid pressure therein enabling to absorb or expel the squeezed fluid in the trapped interstice during the trapping period of the interstice, whereby the fluid entrapped in the interstices isolated by the fluid-leak-tight backlash suppressing the pressure transmission inwardly or outwardly, whereof volumetric variation during the trapping period is compensated by the compression or expansion of the elastic disc capsule, suppressing pressure pulse and air bubble generation and eliminating the teeth bouncing contact, achieving a low noise, low vibration and high efficiency gear pump or motor or refrigerating compressor.
