Profile Shaped-configuration of Convex Ellipse Rotor and Its Following High-shape Technology by Xiangjun Yang, Fuchun Sun

“…Firstly， from ellipse coordinate equation of rotor shaped-profile and conjugate principle of rotor pairs and critical conjugate conditions， the optimum axial length ratio of ellipse arc and the maximum shape coefficient of basic rotor are calculated. Secondly， based on the geometric relationship when the endpoint of valley working shaped-profile on driving rotor is just perfect to avoid the peak corner point on driven rotor， the maximum shape factor of raised rotor under a given addendum angle is determined. …”
