Abstract
The present article was to investigate the mechanical design, efficiency, and performance of a new type of cylindrical vane
pump. The configuration is proposed on the traditional working principle of the hydraulic pump. The stator surface equa-
tions are driven by using the geometric theory of applied spatial triangulation function. The three-dimensional model of
the cylindrical vane pump is established with the help of MATLAB, and Pro/E.A displacement formula is derived, which
depends upon the design structure of the cylindrical vane pump. The flow output characteristics of the pump are analyzed.
According to the kinematic analysis of the stator-cylindrical vane by Pro/Mechanism, the kinematic equation of the cylindrical
vane is established and the kinematic analysis proves the effectiveness of structural design of vane pump. The CFD software
COMSOL is used to simulate the force of the main parts under the different dynamic conditions, and the discharge flow of
the pump are monitored. The result shows that the hermetic space is formed by the cylindrical vane, driving plate and the
surface of the stator, and the size of the hermetic space is charged by the rotation of the cylindrical vane. The cylindrical vane
pump satisfies the three elements design of positive displacement pump. The angle at the arc transition of stator surfaces is
5°–10°, when the number of cylindrical vanes increased, the flow pulsation of cylindrical vanes decreased and vice versa.
There is a 3.6% error between theoretical and simulation results. The simulation result shows that the internal flow of the
flow field is regular, the deformation is small, and the stress distribution of the main components is regular.
