This paper presents a newly developed analytical model with application in profiling the hob mill for generating a pump rotor having four circular lobes with rectilinear directrix. The analytical model of rotor surface is deducted at first. The generating rack-tool is secondly determined and then, the peripheral surface of the hob mill results as envelop of surfaces family generated by the successive positions of generating rack-tool. The profiling solution lies on the fundamental theorems concerning the reciprocal enwrapped surfaces. A calculus algorithm and a numerical model developed in MatLab are proposed. The characteristic curve of hob mill tooth surface is found out in the case of a given rotor profile. Index Terms-Quadrilobed rotor, analytical model, hob mill profiling, intermediary surface method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
