Iris arrangement

An iris for a camera or controlling fluid flow comprising a rotor, a stator and a plurality of blades 200 has reduced sensitivity of the aperture area to small rotor movements at the low-aperture settings by arranging for the blades to form the aperture by means of a specially shaped end portion opposite the pivot point, such that the edge 220 where it forms part of the aperture extends in the same direction as the blade movement. The shape of the end portion is dictated by the relationship required between the angle of blade rotation and the area of aperture to be formed thereby. In particular, the invention enables the aperture area to be doubled for each constant increment of blade rotation. ...

Inflatable isolating valve

The invention discloses an inflatable isolating valve. A double-layer grid (7) is fixedly connected on a charging chute (8); an inflatable rubber pocket (4) is filled inside the chute and fixed; and an inflating valve (1) is arranged on the inflatable rubber pocket (4). Compared with the prior art, the inflatable isolating valve avoids the phenomenon that an inserting board cannot be inserted tightly because of scaling in the charging chute, namely untightly closed valve. Furthermore, as the 'inserting board' of the isolating valve adopts the inflatable rubber pocket, and the inserting board is deflated when the inserting board is placed in and taken out so as to reduce friction, the inserting board can be placed in and taken out easily and is convenient for cleaning, so that the service life of the valve can be greatly prolonged. The inflatable isolating valve not only reduces labor intensity of operators, but also greatly reduces the manufacturing cost.

INLET CARTRIDGE FOR ADJUSTING THE CROSS-SECTION OF COMPRESSOR INLET AND COMPRESSOR

The cartridge for adjusting the cross-section of compressor inlet allows for an adjustment of the cross-section of the gas stream inlet directly in front of the compressor wheel 2 in radial, axial and radial-axial flow compressors. The cartridge for adjusting the cross-section of compressor inlet converts the rotational movement of the control plate 8 into a sliding movement of the blades 7, which enables adjustment of the gas stream inlet cross-section. With a reduced cross-section of the gas stream inlet, the operating range of the compressor allows the compressor to operate in a stable manner at lower flows. After increasing the cross-section of the gas stream inlet in front of the compressor's wheel 2, the operating range of the turbocharger is shifted towards higher flows, which allows for stable operation at higher gas flows. This solution makes it possible to increase the operating range of radial, axial and radial-axial compressors.
