Resin screw rotor molded to a metallic shaft
The present invention is to provide a screw rotor including a resin rotor formed around a metallic shaft without generation of cracks. Spiral chamfers are formed on surfaces of metallic shafts around which resin rotors are formed. Preferably the surfaces of the shafts may be sandblasted, and after the surfaces of the shafts are preliminarily coated with resin and then the rotors may be molded.
1. A screw rotor comprising a resin screw rotor molded onto a metallic shaft having a longitudinal axis, a plurality of spiral chamfers being formed on a longitudinal surface of said metallic shaft, wherein the spiral chamfers in a cross-section of the metallic shaft, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, comprises a plurality of chords.
2. The screw rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of said metallic shaft is sandblasted.
3. The screw rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of said metallic shaft is preliminarily coated with resin and hardened, and then said resin screw rotor is molded.
4. The screw rotor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of said spiral chamfers is formed directly below a tooth root part of said resin screw rotor.
5. The screw rotor according to claim 1 , wherein when forming said resin screw rotor, tensile load is given to said metallic shaft in the axial direction, and after hardening of said resin screw rotor, said tensile load is removed.
6. The screw rotor according to claim 1 , wherein when forming said resin screw rotor, said metallic shaft is made to a higher temperature than the resin, and after hardening of said resin screw rotor, said metallic shaft is made to a normal temperature again.
7. A screw rotor comprising:
a metallic shaft having a longitudinal axis, a plurality of spiral chamfers being formed on a longitudinal surface of said metallic shaft, wherein the spiral chamfers in a cross-section of the metallic shaft, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, comprises a plurality of chords; and
a resin screw rotor molded onto the metallic shaft, said resin screw rotor forming a plurality of teeth extending in a radial direction away from the metallic shaft, at least one root defined by the plurality of teeth being disposed directly above one of the spiral chamfers formed in the metallic shaft.
8. A screw rotor comprising:
a first metallic shaft having a longitudinal axis, a plurality of spiral chamfers being formed on a longitudinal surface of said first metallic shaft, wherein the plurality of spiral chamfers in a cross-section of the first metallic shaft, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, comprises a plurality of chords;
a first resin screw rotor molded onto the first metallic shaft, said first resin screw rotor forming a plurality of first resin screw teeth extending in a radial direction away from the first metallic shaft; and
a second resin screw rotor molded onto a second metallic shaft, forming a plurality of second resin screw teeth complementary to the plurality of first resin screw teeth formed on the first metallic shaft,
wherein said plurality of first resin screw teeth from the first metallic shaft mate with the complementary plurality of second resin screw teeth on the second metallic shaft.
9. The screw rotor of claim 8 , wherein at least one root defined by the plurality of first resin screw teeth of the first metallic shaft is disposed directly above one of the spiral chamfers formed in the first metallic shaft.
10. The screw rotor of claim 9 , wherein:
the second metallic shaft has a longitudinal axis and a plurality of second spiral chamfers are formed on a longitudinal surface of said second metallic shaft, wherein the second spiral chamfers in a cross-section of the second metallic shaft, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, comprises a plurality of second chords; and
at least one root defined by the plurality of second resin screw teeth of the second metallic shaft is disposed directly above one of the second spiral chamfers formed in the second metallic shaft.
11. The screw rotor of claim 8 , wherein:
the second metallic shaft has a longitudinal axis and a plurality of second spiral chamfers are formed on a longitudinal surface of said second metallic shaft, wherein
the second spiral chamfers in a cross-section of the second metallic shaft, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, comprises a plurality of second chords; and
at least one root defined by the plurality of second resin screw teeth of the second metallic shaft is disposed directly above one of the plurality of second spiral chamfers formed in the second metallic shaft.
