A kind of multi-gear pump based on Logix gear is proposed
and its flow uniformity is discussed.The Logix gear has minimum teeth number for no undercutting
and can be miniaturized easily
it’s suitable to be used in gear pump.The two-gear pump with 2 Logix gears is difficult to apply
because of its great flow fluctuation.The multi-gear pump is comprised of 3 Logix gears meshed successively
and with the middle one as the driving gear
two subsidiary pumps between the driving gear and the two driven gears are formed.The multi-gear pump flow increases more than one times by distributing proper channel flow.In the multi-gear pump
the situation of flow fluctuation is determined by teeth number of the driving gear.When the teeth number of driving gear is even number
the two subsidiary pumps flow fluctuate synchronously and be unable to compensate each other
the multi-gear pump has the same fluctuation as the two-gear pump.When the teeth number of driving gear is odd number
the subsidiary pumps can compensate one another
and the fluctuation of the multi-gear pump is greatly lesser than the two-gear pump.
