Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to vacuum generators for aircraft or other transportation vehicles and, more specifically, to vacuum generators to operate a waste system within an aircraft or vehicle during ground and low altitude operations.
  • Vacuum systems have been used to forcefully withdraw waste and rinse water from the toilet bowl of aircraft toilet systems and through the drain into a waste holding tank.
  • the tank is situated remotely and vented to the atmosphere outside the aircraft, and the toilet bowl is situated inside the pressurized passenger cabin and maintained at cabin pressure.
  • the difference in pressure between the atmospheric pressure outside the aircraft and the cabin pressure inside the aircraft causes sufficient air flow from the toilet bowl to the tank to transport the waste.
  • a vacuum generator is used to artificially create or supplement vacuum in the waste tank and pipes sufficient to transport the waste.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a vacuum generator according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 2A is an end view of the housing of Fig. 1
  • Fig. 2B is a cross-section view of the housing shown in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the motor assembly of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 4 shows multiple views of an embodiment of a motor assembly of a vacuum generator according to this invention.
  • Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the first portion of the housing of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 6 is another perspective view of the first portion of the housing of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 7 shows one view of an embodiment of a first portion of a housing of a vacuum generator according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the second portion of the housing of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 9 is another perspective view of the second portion of the housing of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 10 shows one view of an embodiment of a second portion of a housing of a vacuum generator according to this invention.
  • Fig. 11 is a perspective view of a regenerative impeller positioned within the housing of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 12 shows multiple views of an embodiment of a regenerative impeller of a vacuum generator according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 13 is a perspective view of a seal within the housing of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 14 is another perspective view of the seal within the housing of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 15 shows multiple views of an embodiment of a seal of a vacuum generator according to this invention.
  • Fig. 16 is a schematic illustration of an exemplary waste disposal system in an aircraft, showing where a vacuum generator is typically positioned in relation to the toilet assembly and other components of a waste disposal system within an aircraft.
  • Fig. 17A is an end view of another embodiment of a housing of a vacuum generator of this invention
  • Fig. 17B is a cross-section view of the housing shown in Fig. 17A.
  • Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to regenerative vacuum generators for use on aircraft or other transportation vehicles.
  • Embodiments of the invention further relate to modified regenerative vacuum generators that provide a larger area for air flow, as well as provide larger RPMs than typical regenerative vacuum generators.
  • Further embodiments of the invention relate to modified regenerative vacuum generators for use on aircraft or other transportation vehicles. These features help generate high flow and vacuum in less time, which ensure a good vacuum system, and allow the generators to be much smaller than generators currently used in these applications.
  • embodiments of the present invention also provide devices and methods for generating vacuum to operate a waste system within an aircraft during ground or low altitude operations.
  • An exemplary embodiment of a vacuum generator of this invention comprises a housing coupled to a motor assembly.
  • a single regenerative impeller is positioned within the housing and driven by a drive shaft of the motor assembly to generate vacuum.
  • the use of a single impeller is more efficient than existing devices, such as centrifugal style vacuum generators that utilize two impellers and one or two diffusers, because the single impeller reaches full speed and generates high vacuum in less time and requires less power consumption.
  • a seal may fit within a portion of the housing adjacent the motor assembly. The seal prevents gasses from going into the motor assembly during operation, such that air flows only from the motor assembly to the housing and not vice versa, and also limits gases flowing into the motor assembly when not operating.
  • the invention relates to an apparatus for generating vacuum on an aircraft or transportation vehicle, comprising a regenerative vacuum generator comprising a single impeller.
  • a regenerative vacuum generator comprising a single impeller.
  • specific regenerative vacuum generator comprising: a housing with a first portion and a second portion secured together; the first portion and second portion collectively defining a central passageway, a motor assembly coupled to the housing, the motor assembly having a drive shaft; and a regenerative impeller mounted to the drive shaft of the motor assembly, the impeller being positioned within the housing, wherein the central passageway has a cross section and the impeller has a cross-section, and wherein the cross- section of the central passageway is about two to about five times the cross section of the impeller.
  • Another aspect relates to these specific regenerative vacuum generators for use in connection with waste systems of transportation vehicles, such as aircraft.
  • the housing of the vacuum system comprises a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion, for example, with fasteners.
  • the housing may be made of an aluminum alloy to provide a lightweight construction. Other possible materials for the housing include titanium, stainless steel, carbon fiber, or any other appropriate material. It is preferred to use materials that are sufficiently lightweight to provide the advantages described, but that also provide the required structural integrity of the design.
  • a seal may be disposed within the housing adjacent to the second portion of the housing around where a drive shaft of the motor assembly extends into the housing.
  • the second portion of the housing has holes in its exterior surface to allow for run out of any debris and condensation from the housing. These holes, the seal, and the vortex design help keep moisture-laden air and semi-solid particles from coming into contact with the motor assembly.
  • the two housings When combined, the two housings forms a central passageway which is proportional to the air flow.
  • the central passageway provides a larger area than passageways that are currently provided on regenerative vacuum regenerators.
  • the relationship between the cross-section of the impeller and the cross-section of the passageway in which the impeller rotates is increased two to five times, as compared to traditional regenerative vacuum generators.
  • prior art generators provide a ratio of the cross-section of the impeller to the passageway of about 1.7.
  • Embodiments of this invention provide that ratio as between two to five times that. In specific embodiments, the ratio is about 3.5, and in other embodiments, the ratio is about 6.8. This increased ratio helps to provide greater air flow and vacuum generation.
  • the regenerative impeller mounted within the housing to the drive shaft of the motor assembly, and the motor assembly is configured to drive the impeller at speeds of about 10,000 RPM to about 60,000 RPM in other embodiments, about 15,000 RPM to about 50,000 RPM in further embodiments, about 15,000 RPM to about 30,000 RPM in more specific embodiments, about 15,000 RPM to about 25,000 RPM in even more specific embodiments, and up to about 24,000 RPM in even more particular embodiments. This is much higher than existing regenerative pumps typically used in industrial applications, which drive impellers at about 5,000 RPM.
  • the impeller is made of a relatively lightweight material, it is smaller than typical impellers, the motor is stronger than typical regenerative pumps, the central passageway is larger than in typical regenerative pumps, a seal is provided to help direct air, and the inlet and outlets are specially designed.
  • these features can provide a pump that can move air more quickly and generate much higher RPMs than those typically seen with regenerative pumps.
  • the motor assembly may be designed to run on variable frequency power.
  • certain embodiments of vacuum generators of this invention work as follows. Upon receiving a flush signal during ground or low altitude operation, the generator is signaled to turn on in order to generate a vacuum within the waste system. Vacuum is created by evacuating air from the waste tank and discharging it overboard.
  • the generator includes an impeller mounted directly on a motor shaft and is rotated at a high speed, for example at the speeds described above, and in one example, up to about 24,000 RPM in one embodiment.
  • On the periphery of the regenerative impeller there are large number of straight blades. It is advantageous that the blades may be provided as straight, as opposed to being curved, rotated, or bent on the edges like blades of impellers of current regenerative vacuum regenerators.
  • impellers for use with this system are typically smaller than traditional impellers, there is less area for a bend or curve, but it has been found that this design may help reduce noise and makes manufacturing easier.
  • a low pressure area is created that draws in air, or other gases.
  • the impeller blades impart motion to the air by centrifugal force, throwing it outward and forward, where it follows the contour of a central passageway within the housing around the impeller and is returned to the base, or root, of the impeller. This action is repeated many times, creating a vortex.
  • Each "regeneration” causes the air to gain pressure, until it reaches the portion of the housing where the air is stripped from the impeller and discharged from the outlet of the vacuum generator.
  • Fig. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a vacuum generator or device 20 according to this invention.
  • Device 20 includes a housing 22 coupled to a motor assembly 80. Ambient air is drawn into motor assembly 80 through vent holes situated on motor assembly 80 (and also used for cooling the motor) and then into housing 22 of device 20.
  • Motor assembly 80 is shown in isolation in Fig. 3, and multiple views of an exemplary embodiment of a motor assembly are shown in the engineering drawings of Fig. 4, including exemplary dimensions, materials, and the like.
  • Motor assembly 80 is preferably made of aluminum alloy, although other suitable materials may be used, such as titanium, stainless steel, carbon fiber, or any other appropriate material. It is preferred to use materials that are sufficiently lightweight to provide the advantages described, but that also provide the required structural integrity of the design.
  • Motor assembly 80 includes a motor housing 82 and an electrical box 84 mounted atop motor housing 82. Mounting electrical box 84 away from the components within motor housing 82 protects the electronics of motor assembly 80 from the heat given off by the motor during operation.
  • An electrical connector 86 extends from electrical box 84 for connection of device 20 to the electrical power of the aircraft or other environment within which device 20 may be used.
  • a drive shaft 88 extends from motor assembly 80. A portion of drive shaft 88 extends into housing 22, as shown in Fig. 2B, and an impeller 60 and seal 70 within housing 22 is mounted on and rotated by drive shaft 88, as generally described above for example. Threaded holes 90 receive fasteners, such as fasteners 96 shown in Fig. 2B, for securing housing 22 to motor assembly 80.
  • Housing 22 comprises a first portion 24 and a second portion 26. In addition to Figs. 1,
  • first portion 24 is shown in isolation in Figs. 5 and 6, and multiple views of an exemplary embodiment of a first portion are shown in the engineering drawings of Fig. 7.
  • second portion 26 is shown in isolation in Figs. 8 and 9, and multiple views of an exemplary embodiment of a second portion are shown in the engineering drawings of Fig. 10.
  • First and second portions 24 and 26 are secured with fasteners 32.
  • Fasteners 32 extend through holes 33 in first portion 24 (as shown in Figs. 5 and 6) and corresponding holes 43 in second portion 26 (as seen best in Figs. 8 and 9).
  • First portion 24 also includes holes 34 for mounting housing 22 to other structure within an aircraft or other environment in which device 20 may be used.
  • a protrusion 36 in first portion 24 defines a cavity 37 (see Fig. 6) within which a portion of drive shaft 88 extends when housing 22 and motor assembly 80 are fully assembled.
  • Both first and second portions 24 and 26 of housing 22 are preferably made from aluminum alloy. Other suitable materials well known to those skilled in the art may be used.
  • Housing 22 includes an inlet 28 and an outlet 30.
  • Inlet 28 is formed by inlet portion 28 A of first portion 24 (see Fig. 6) and inlet portion 28B of second portion 26 (see Fig. 9).
  • outlet 30 is formed by outlet portion 30A (see Fig. 6) and outlet portion 30B (see Fig. 9).
  • arrows mark the inlet and outlet
  • an arrow 38 marks the rotational direction of impeller 60 and the air within housing 22.
  • the diameter of inlet 28 decreases as the inlet opening extends further into housing 22 leading to a central passageway 40 in housing 22. This helps increase velocity of air entering the system, and helps decrease the velocity of air as it exits the system.
  • Central passageway 40 is formed by a channel 4OA in first portion 24 and a channel 4OB in second portion 26, which join together to form passageway 40 when first and second portions 24 and 26 are secured together.
  • the cross- sectional area of the central passageway 40 is increased by about two to about five times compared to traditional regenerative impeller generators in order to achieve about two to about five times more air flow.
  • the ratios between the cross-sections of the impeller and the passageway are described above.
  • This enlarged passageway, combined with the tapered inlet and outlet and higher RPMs will generate higher flow and vacuum in less time, which ensure a good vacuum system.
  • certain embodiments of the impeller generators described may be smaller in their overall dimension than impeller generators that are currently provided, and they are much smaller than the centrifugal generators that are currently used on aircraft to create vacuum for waste systems.
  • passageway 40 is generally tubular as it circles around housing 22 toward outlet 30.
  • Impeller 60 is mounted inside housing 22 such that it draws air through inlet 28 and through passageway 40.
  • the diameter of outlet 30 increases as the outlet opening extends from adjacent central passageway 40 toward the exit of housing 22.
  • the velocity of the air moving through housing 22 increases as the diameter of the air passageway is reduced from the inlet, and decreases as central passageway 40 widens into outlet 30.
  • the air velocity is about Mach 0.5 in the central passageway and is about Mach 0.1 at the outlet and inlet.
  • Mach 1.0 (or the speed of sound) is not a constant, but depends on the altitude (or actually the temperature at that altitude). For example, an aircraft flying Mach 1.0 at sea level is flying about 1225 km/h (661 Knots, 340 m/s), while a plane flying Mach 1.0 at 30,000 ft is flying 1091 km/h (589 knots, 303 m/s).
  • Second portion 26 of housing 22, shown in isolation in Figs. 8 and 9, includes a central portion 42 within which channel 4OB is formed and three flanges 44 that includes holes 43 for receiving fasteners to secure second portion 26 to first portion 24.
  • Second portion 26 includes openings 46 for mounting housing 22 to a portion of motor assembly 80, and an aperture 48 through which drive shaft 88 of motor assembly 80 extends. Holes 50 and grooves 52 extending therefrom allow for debris and condensation to run out of housing 22 during operation.
  • a section inside channel 4OA has an outer diameter 54, a center diameter 56, and an inner diameter 58 that defines aperture 48.
  • the stepped configuration shown allows a seal 70 to be used within housing 22 within center diameter 56 such that the seal accomplishes its intended purpose while not interfering with second portion 26 and impeller 60.
  • Seal 70 is shown in isolation in Figs. 13 and 14, in cross-section in Fig. 2B, and multiple views of an exemplary embodiment of a seal are shown in the engineering drawings of Fig. 15.
  • the outer diameter of seal 70 is about the same as center diameter 56 of second portion 26 of housing 22.
  • Seal 70 prevents gasses from going into motor assembly 80 during operation, such that the only air flow (other than that within housing 22) is from motor assembly 80 to housing 22. Seal 70 allows air through the motor vent holes into the housing, which acts as a coolant to the motor.
  • Seal 70 is preferably made from stainless steel, although other materials, such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy, titanium, carbon fiber, or any other materials that may provide a seal with the desired function may also be used. Seal 70 includes an opening 72 through which drive shaft 88 passes from motor assembly 80 and into housing 22. An angled outer portion 74 is configured such that a tight clearance is maintained with second portion 26 at center diameter 56. A central portion 76 leading to an inner wall 78 fits through aperture 48 in second portion 26.
  • Impeller 60 is mounted on drive shaft 88 within housing 22 through an opening 66 using a slight press fit and generally operates as described above. Impeller 70 is shown in isolation in Figs. 11 and 12, in cross-section in Fig. 2B, and multiple views of an exemplary embodiment of an impeller are shown in the engineering drawings of Fig. 13. Impeller 60 includes straight fins 62 with a rib 64 between each fin 62, producing air flow on both sides of impeller 60. In a preferred embodiment, impeller 60 is made from aluminum or an aluminum alloy, although other materials are possible such as titanium, stainless steel, carbon fiber, or any other appropriate material. It is preferred to use materials that are sufficiently lightweight to provide the advantages described, but that also provide the required structural integrity of the design.
