대표청구항▼
1. A gear comprising: a plurality of involute gear teeth including first and second neighboring gear teeth each having a respective tooth profile curve that extends diametrically inwards of a true involute form diameter, said first and second neighboring gear teeth defining a tooth space centerline
1. A gear comprising: a plurality of involute gear teeth including first and second neighboring gear teeth each having a respective tooth profile curve that extends diametrically inwards of a true involute form diameter, said first and second neighboring gear teeth defining a tooth space centerline there between;a gear root geometry between said first and second neighboring gear teeth, said gear root geometry defining a gear root diameter and including a gear root flat that is tangent to said gear root diameter at said tooth space centerline, first and second radiused fillets flanking, respectively, said gear root flat, said first and second radiused fillets joining said gear root flat to, respectively, first and second upper flats, said first and second upper flats blending into said tooth profile curves at locations diametrically inside of said true involute form diameter. 2. The gear as recited in claim 1, wherein said gear root flat is perpendicular to said tooth space centerline. 3. The gear as recited in claim 1, wherein said gear root flat is diametrically inwards of an imaginary standard full fillet root profile that has a constant radius that extends in a continuous arc between said first and second neighboring gear teeth. 4. The gear as recited in claim 1, wherein said gear root diameter is a diametrically lowest point of the gear root geometry. 5. The gear as recited in claim 1, wherein said involute tooth profile curves of said first and second neighboring gear teeth face towards each other. 6. The gear as recited in claim 1, wherein said gear root geometry is symmetric about said tooth space centerline. 7. The gear as recited in claim 6, wherein said gear root flat is diametrically inwards of an imaginary standard full fillet root profile that has a constant radius that extends in a continuous arc between said first and second neighboring gear teeth, said gear root geometry including first and second equivalent expanded carryover volumes, relative to said imaginary standard full fillet root profile, said first equivalent expanded carryover volume being bounded by said imaginary standard full fillet root profile, a portion of said gear root flat to one side of said tooth space centerline, and said first radiused fillet, and said second carryover volume being bounded by said imaginary standard full fillet root profile, a portion of said gear root flat to the other side of said tooth space centerline, and said second radiused fillet. 8. The gear as recited in claim 1, wherein said involute gear teeth are on a straight spur gear. 9. A method of assembling a gear pump comprising: meshing a first gear with a second gear within the gear pump such that a gear mesh therebetween is provided with an enlarged carry-over volume greater than that provided by a standard full fillet root profile, said carry-over volume being provided in part by a gear root geometry between first and second neighboring involute gear teeth of said first gear, said first and second neighboring gear teeth each having a respective tooth profile curve that extends diametrically inwards of a true involute form diameter, said first and second neighboring gear teeth defining a tooth space centerline there between, said gear root geometry defining a gear root diameter and including a gear root flat that is tangent to said gear root diameter at said tooth space centerline, first and second radiused fillets flanking, respectively, said gear root flat, said first and second radiused fillets joining said gear root flat to, respectively, first and second upper flats, said first and second upper flats blending into said tooth profile curves at locations diametrically inside of said true involute form diameter. 10. A method as recited in claim 9, wherein the enlarged carry-over volume is bounded by a root diameter and said true involute form diameter. 11. The method as recited in claim 9, wherein said first gear is a straight spur gear. 12. A gear pump comprising: a first gear;a second gear meshed with said first gear in a mesh zone,said first gear and said second gear each including a respective plurality of involute gear teeth, each of said gear teeth including a respective tooth profile curve that extends diametrically inwards of a true involute form diameter, neighboring ones of said gear teeth defining a tooth space centerline there between with gear root geometries between neighboring ones of said gear teeth, said gear root geometries each defining a gear root diameter and including a gear root flat that is tangent to said gear root diameter at said tooth space centerline, first and second radiused fillets flanking, respectively, said gear root flat, said first and second radiused fillets joining said gear root flat to, respectively, first and second upper flats, said first and second upper flats blending into said tooth profile curves at locations diametrically inside of said true involute form diameter. 13. The gear pump as recited in claim 12, wherein said first gear and said second gear define a carry-over volume in said mesh zone, said carry-over volume being approximately 7% greater than an imaginary standard full fillet root profile that has a constant radius that extends in a continuous arc between said neighboring ones of said gear teeth. 14. The gear pump as recited in claim 12, wherein said gear root geometry is symmetric about said tooth space centerline. 15. The gear pump as recited in claim 14, wherein said gear root flat is diametrically inwards of an imaginary standard full fillet root profile that has a constant radius that extends in a continuous arc between said first and second neighboring gear teeth, said gear root geometry including first and second equivalent expanded carryover volumes, relative to said imaginary standard full fillet root profile, said first equivalent expanded carryover volume being bounded by said imaginary standard full fillet root profile, a portion of said gear root flat to one side of said tooth space centerline, and said first radiused fillet, and said second carryover volume being bounded by said imaginary standard full fillet root profile, a portion of said gear root flat to the other side of said tooth space centerline, and said second radiused fillet. 16. The gear pump as recited in claim 12, wherein said first and second gears are straight spur gears.
