Description
~L~ 33 FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pump and in particular a pump ~ormed with a plastic pump housing BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In accordance w;th standard practice, high pressure pumps such as jet pumps and the like are made with a full metal construction in order to sustain the pressures experienced by the pump. However, a totally metal pump construction does present drawbacks particularly with respect to corrosion and also with respect to packaging and shipping due to the weight of the metal.
Advances have been made in the construction of pumps through the use of plastic materials alleviating the problems mentioned above. However, the introduction of plastic has brought on a whole new set of problems including heat breakdown which does not occur in a metallic construction.
~ne example oF a plastic pump construction is found in United States Patent 3,826,589 issued July 30, 1974 to Starite Industries Inc. According to this patent a jet pump is Formed by a pair of plastic housing sections.
In order to reduce the likelihood of heat related damage to the Starite pump, it includes a metallic shield $
3~3 1 in the area around the seals at the motor shaft of the pump. This heat shield is designed to keep the heat buildup away from the seals by conducting the heat into the water within the pump chamber of the plastic pump.
The heat shield is not designed to carry the heat out of the plastic housing leaving it subject to heat related damage. Furthermore, if the pump looses its prime and the : pump chamber is not filled with cooling circulatiny water, then the pump chamber itself is subject to overheating.
SUMMARY OF IHE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention provides a pump arrangement which mitigates the problems associated with a full metal construction and which is designed to overcome the problems discussed immediately above with respect to overheating of a plastic pump construction. More particularly, the pump arrangement of the present invention comprises a plastic pump housing and a motor 2~ housing secured to one another. The pump arrangement includes heat transfer means extending between the :~ housings such that the heat transfer means picks up heat generated in the plastic pump housing and transfers it to for dissipation within the motor housing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The above as well as other advantages and features of the present invention will be described in greater detail according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention in which;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION ACCORDING TO THE PREFERRED
EMBODIMENTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Figure 1 shows a pump and in particular a jet pump9 generally indicated at 1. This pump includes a pump end or housing 3 and a motor end or housing 2~. The pump housing includes a flange 5 secured to flange 25 of the motor housing.
Unlike conventional practice, the pump housing 3 is formed from a plastic material such a nylon or the like. The motor housing is constructed from a metallic material such as cast-iron. Alternatively, the motor housing could also have a plastic construction with a reinforced end flange, e.g. a fibreglass reinforced end flange. The use of plastic material in the pump housing as well as its interior components as seen in Figure 2 of ~ 3~3C~3 1 the drawings, eliminates corrosion problems in the pump side and substantially reduces the overall weight and shipping requirements for the pump in comparison to a conventional fully iron pump.
The pump of the present invention is provided with a specific securing arrangement to prevent deflection of the plastic pump housing flange away from the stronger flange of the motor housing. Moreover, this is done without making the pump housing flange unduly bulky, which, is no thicker than the motor housing flange as seen in Figure 1 of the drawings. Also, shown in Figure 1 is the securing arrangement in the form of a bolt 27 fitted through aligned openings in the flanges to a nut 29 which reinforces the plastic pump housing flange. This nut consists of a metallic plate 31 and a threaded stem 33 extending at right angles to the plate for receiving bolt 27. The plastic pump housing flange has a recess 7 corresponding to the shape of the plate portion of the nut so that its outer surface fits~flushly with the outer surface of the pump housing flange. In addition, this recessing in the flange provides a locking feature so that the nut will not turn during the tightening of the bolt.
.
Note that plate portion 31 of nut 29 has a rounded triangular configuration for fitting of four nuts at the corners of the flange to flange connection. The plate portion of the nut then extends partially around each of those corners so that there is only a limited unsupported region between each of the corner nuts along the plastic flange. Therefore, the support or reinforcement provided by the nut and bolt combination is ~ 3~3~
1 more than sufficient to prevent any significant causing deflection of the plastic pump housing flange.
In addition to the housing the internal components of the pump side have a plastic construction.
One of these components is seal plate 13 which is designed with a specific interlock with the pump housing. This interlock which is shown in Figure 4 of the drawings, is in the form of a tongue and groove fit where the seal plate is provided with tongue 15 fitted into a groove in the pump housing bordered to either side by pump housing sections 9 and 11. This tongue and groove interlock, running completely around the seal plate, ensures that the tongue 11 formed in the molding of the seal plate and if not perfectly round will still be forced from both the inside and the outside to sit in the groove provided in the pump housing.
The pump is designed for transferring heat from the pump to the motor side and specifically away from the pump chamber where there can be a substantial heat buildup when there is a loss of prime in the pump and little if any water in the pump chamber.
: .
The heat transfer means is provided in the form of a heat transfer member or heat sink 15 as shown in figures 2 and 3 of the drawings, This heat transfer member which is made of a heat conductive material such as copper or the like has a top hat-like configuration. This configuration includes a radial flange heat pick up end 17 located in the pumping chamber immedia-tely behind seal plate 13 of the plastic pump housing. Extending from the radial flange is an elongated cylindrical body portion 19 ~3~3~3 1 which runs along motor shaft 21 into the metallic motor housing. With this arrangement, the heat picked up in the pump chamber is transferred -to and dumped into the motor housing. To be particularly noted in Figure 3 is the location of the heat sink where the heat pick up end 17 sits immediately behind the motor shaft seal and uses the shaft itself as a guide for extending into the motor housing. This also means that shaft 21 around which the heat sink is located enhances the heat transfer capacity of the heat sink, i.e. the shaft itself will help to transfer the heat picked up by the heat sink.
Although various preferred embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, it will be appreciated that variations may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
