Research on Floating Moment Balancing Mechanism of a Gear Pump's Asymmetric Floating Plate with a V-Shaped Groove

Abstract:

Symmetrical floating plate of the high pressure and large displacement gear pump in rated conditions is inability to achieve the floating moment balance. To solve this problem, a new balancing mechanism is presented in this paper, which is asymmetric with a V-shaped groove structure on its driven side, called asymmetric balancing mechanism. Compared with traditional symmetric balancing mechanism, the floating plate with asymmetric balancing mechanism the can the coupling problem between the gear shaft and gear inner flow field through its own asymmetrical structure, so that the gear pumps internal flow field was the symmetrical distribution. According to the structural characteristics of the floating plates, Parameterized moment model based on discrete feature points was established. Theoretical analysis and experimental tests show the result , when suffered floating moment as evaluation criteria, in rated conditions, compared with the traditional symmetrical balancing mechanism one, that the balance performance of the floating plate with V-shaped groove asymmetric balancing mechanism improve by 41.42%.
