AI Technical Summary
In the traditional twin-screw compressor rotor design, the rotor geometry limits the operating performance, requiring larger equipment to achieve a sufficiently high compression ratio, and the leakage triangle between the male and female rotors leads to gas leakage and reduced energy efficiency.
The design of the conical twin-screw compressor rotor makes the male and female rotors have a conical structure with one end larger than the other. By establishing a transformation between the plane and spatial coordinate systems, the conical rotor profiles that mesh with each other are generated. A conical working chamber and axial intake and exhaust ports are set in the machine body to realize the gas being drawn in from the large end and discharged from the small end.
This improves space utilization and compression ratio, reduces the leakage triangle area, and thus improves compressor efficiency and energy efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of screw compressor technology, and in particular to a design method for a conical twin-screw compressor rotor, the rotor, and the compressor. Background Technology
[0002] A twin-screw compressor is a positive displacement rotary compressor used to obtain high-pressure gases and is widely used in mining, power, metallurgy, construction, machinery, and refrigeration industries. It inherits the advantages of rotary machinery, such as long service life, low noise, low vibration, smooth operation, and no surge, while also featuring a simple structure and the absence of easily damaged parts like inlet and outlet valves. Therefore, it is a core component in high-pressure gas transmission, refrigeration, and waste heat recovery systems.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional twin-screw compressors typically use cylindrical rotors of equal diameter, with the male and female rotors having parallel axes and maintaining a certain center distance. The two rotors mesh to achieve gas compression. This design limits the rotor geometry and operational performance, requiring larger equipment to achieve a sufficiently high compression ratio. Furthermore, due to the leakage triangle between the male and female rotors and the compressor body, gas leakage occurs during compression, leading to reduced energy efficiency. Therefore, a more efficient and compact screw compressor is needed to address these issues.
[0004] The information disclosed in the background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background of the present invention, and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

This design limits the rotor geometry and operational performance, requiring larger equipment to achieve a sufficiently high compression ratio. This invention designs the male and female rotors as a conical structure with one end larger than the other, resulting in a more compact structure, improved space utilization, and a gradual reduction in the basic volume from the intake end to the exhaust end, thus providing a higher compression ratio. Furthermore, a leakage triangle exists between the male and female rotors and the compressor body, leading to gas leakage. The conical structure of this invention allows the leakage triangle area to gradually decrease from the intake end to the exhaust end, reducing leakage and improving compressor efficiency.
