Abstract

The sealing line between two conjugated rotors is a main leakage path in the vacuum pump, however, it is unable to be adjusted before the rotor profiles are determined in the traditional rotor profile generation method. Therefore, a generation method of rotor profiles for claw-type vacuum pumps based on the sealing line is proposed in this paper. The sealing line can be firstly specified as specific segments regarding the characteristics of claw-shaped rotor profiles. By applying the enveloping theory and the cubic spline curve fitting method, the rotor profile is able to be generated from the sealing line. Moreover, the adjustment method is proposed to segmentally correct the shape of sealing line using the quadratic functions by considering the geometric limitations to avoid interference and undercutting in rotor profiles. A three-lobe claw rotors profile is carried out to demonstrate the reasonability and stability of the proposed method.
