Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vortex pump for fluid in liquid form.
- a vortex pump usually comprises in a pump body two superimposed chambers, separated by a diaphragm with a central opening, one serving as an inlet chamber for liquid fluid and the other, as a chamber for discharging this fluid.
- a turbine is mounted, adjacent to the bottom of this delivery chamber. During its rotation, the turbine creates, in the mass of liquid coming from the inlet chamber through the central opening of the diaphragm, a vortex movement which tends to force this mass of liquid to circulate in an outlet pipe arranged in communication tangentially with this delivery chamber.
- a pump of this type has the advantage of being less subject than a centrifugal pump, to blockage or damage caused by more or less bulky solid elements possibly conveyed by this mass of liquid to be evacuated.
- known vortex pumps often do not perform well.
- the present invention provides an improvement to these vortex pumps and makes it possible to produce a pump having excellent efficiency.
- a vortex motor pump for liquid fluid comprises a diaphragm with central opening dividing the pump body into two superimposed compartments, to form an inlet chamber provided with a liquid inlet pipe, and a chamber outlet fitted with a turbine at the bottom, and a tangential liquid outlet pipe, at the level of the space separating these turbine and diaphragm.
- This diaphragm comprises in particular on its face looking at the turbine, a bar or projecting radial guiding surface, in alignment with the wall on the downstream side, of the bore of the liquid outlet pipe, relative to the direction of rotation of the turbine.
- This bar or radial guide surface arranged across the path of the ring of liquid in a vortex in the discharge chamber, forces the latter to flow back into the liquid outlet pipe of the pump.
- the pump 1 is provided with a pump body 3 divided into two superimposed compartments 4 and 5 by a diaphragm 6 with opening central 7.
- the compartment 4 provided with a liquid inlet pipe 8 is called the inlet chamber
- the compartment 5 provided with a tangential liquid outlet pipe 9 is called the discharge chamber.
- a turbine 11 is mounted in the pump 1, adjacent to the bottom of the discharge chamber 5.
- the turbine 11 driven in its rotation by the electric motor 2, creates a vortex movement in the mass of liquid coming from the intake chamber 4 through the central opening 7 of the diaphragm 6.
- a swirling liquid ring is thus formed between the turbine 11 and the diaphragm 6. In its movement, this liquid ring tends to freely escape through the outlet pipe 9 which is just at the level of the space separating these turbine 11 and diaphragm 6.
- an improvement in the efficiency of this motor-driven pump is obtained by a reduction in the freedom of movement left to this ring of liquid in a vortex, in other words an increase in the flow rate of liquid delivered by the pump is achieved by appropriate guiding of this ring of liquid towards the outlet pipe 9.
- the diaphragm 6 of the latter is provided on its face looking at the turbine 11 which rotates in the direction of the arrow 13 (FIG. 4), with a surface or radial guide bar 12 located in alignment with the wall on the downstream side 14 of the bore of the liquid outlet pipe 9, the wall on the upstream side of this pipe 9 relative to the direction of rotation of the arrow 13 , being designated in 15.
- the part 16 of the diaphragm 6 which is located downstream of this projecting radial bar guide 12 relative to the direction of the arrow 13, is filled so as to circularly extend the projecting end of this radial bar 12 and gradually bring the level of the latter towards the level of the diaphragm surface ( Figure 3).
- the part 16 thus produced makes it possible to minimize the pressure drops in the movement of the ring of liquid in a vortex and thereby to further improve the efficiency of the pump 1.
- the projecting radial bar 12 and the filled part 16 of the diaphragm 6 are obtained by a permanent deformation of the body of this diaphragm 6.
- This deformation has a rib on one face of this diaphragm protruding and on the other side, a corresponding depression.
- the diaphragm 6 can be produced either according to the stamping technique or according to the molding process.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une pompe à tourbillon pour fluide sous forme de liquide.The present invention relates to a vortex pump for fluid in liquid form.
Une pompe à tourbillon comprend habituellement dans un corps de pompe deux chambres superposées, séparées par un diaphragme à ouverture centrale, l'une servant de chambre d'admission de fluide liquide et l'autre, de chambre de refoulement de ce fluide. Une turbine est montée, adjacente au fond de cette chambre de refoulement. Lors de sa rotation, la turbine crée, dans la masse de liquide venant de la chambre d'admission par l'ouverture centrale du diaphragme, un mouvement tourbillonnaire qui tend à forcer cette masse de liquide à circuler dans une conduite de sortie disposée en communication tangentiellement avec cette chambre de refoulement. Une pompe de ce type a l'avantage d'être moins sujette qu'une pompe centrifuge, au blocage ou endommagement provoqué par des éléments solides plus ou moins encombrants éventuellement véhiculés par cette masse de liquide à évacuer. Cependant les pompes à tourbillon connues n'ont pas souvent un bon rendement.A vortex pump usually comprises in a pump body two superimposed chambers, separated by a diaphragm with a central opening, one serving as an inlet chamber for liquid fluid and the other, as a chamber for discharging this fluid. A turbine is mounted, adjacent to the bottom of this delivery chamber. During its rotation, the turbine creates, in the mass of liquid coming from the inlet chamber through the central opening of the diaphragm, a vortex movement which tends to force this mass of liquid to circulate in an outlet pipe arranged in communication tangentially with this delivery chamber. A pump of this type has the advantage of being less subject than a centrifugal pump, to blockage or damage caused by more or less bulky solid elements possibly conveyed by this mass of liquid to be evacuated. However, known vortex pumps often do not perform well.
La présente invention apporte un perfectionnement à ces pompes à tourbillon et permet de réaliser une pompe présentant un excellent rendement.The present invention provides an improvement to these vortex pumps and makes it possible to produce a pump having excellent efficiency.
Selon l'invention, une motopompe à tourbillon pour fluide liquide, comprend un diaphragme à ouverture centrale divisant le corps de pompe en deux compartiments superposés, pour former une chambre d'admission munie d'une tubulure d'entrée de liquide, et une chambre de refoulement pourvue d'une turbine dans le fond, et d'une tubulure tangentielle de sortie de liquide, au niveau de l'espace séparant ces turbine et diaphragme. Ce diaphragme comprend en particulier sur sa face regardant la turbine, une barrette ou surface radiale saillante de guidage, en alignement avec la paroi du côté aval, de l'alésage de la tubulure de sortie de liquide, par rapport au sens de rotation de la turbine. Cette barrette ou surface radiale de guidage disposée en travers du trajet de l'anneau de liquide en tourbillon dans la chambre de refoulement, oblige celui-ci à se refluer dans la tubulure de sortie de liquide de la pompe.According to the invention, a vortex motor pump for liquid fluid, comprises a diaphragm with central opening dividing the pump body into two superimposed compartments, to form an inlet chamber provided with a liquid inlet pipe, and a chamber outlet fitted with a turbine at the bottom, and a tangential liquid outlet pipe, at the level of the space separating these turbine and diaphragm. This diaphragm comprises in particular on its face looking at the turbine, a bar or projecting radial guiding surface, in alignment with the wall on the downstream side, of the bore of the liquid outlet pipe, relative to the direction of rotation of the turbine. This bar or radial guide surface arranged across the path of the ring of liquid in a vortex in the discharge chamber, forces the latter to flow back into the liquid outlet pipe of the pump.
Pour mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on décrit ci-après un exemple de réalisation illustré par des dessins ci-annexés dont
- - La figure 1 représente une vue schématique, en coupe partielle, d'une motopompe à tourbillon, réalisée selon l'invention ;
- - La figure 2 représente une vue de la première face du diaphragme de la motopompe de la figure 1, face regardant la turbine de celle-ci ;
- - La figure 3 représente une vue du diaphragme de la figure 2, en coupe suivant un plan III-III ; et
- - la figure 4 représente une vue, en bout, de la motopompe de la figure 1, le couvercle de la pompe étant enlevé pour montrer la deuxième face du diaphragme qui est déjà illustré dans la figure 2, et la position de ce diaphragme par rapport aux tubulures d'entrée et de sortie de liquide de cette pompe.
- - Figure 1 shows a schematic view, in partial section, of a vortex motor pump, produced according to the invention;
- - Figure 2 shows a view of the first face of the diaphragm of the motor pump of Figure 1, facing the turbine thereof;
- - Figure 3 shows a view of the diaphragm of Figure 2, in section along a plane III-III; and
- - Figure 4 shows an end view of the motor pump of Figure 1, the pump cover being removed to show the second face of the diaphragm which is already illustrated in Figure 2, and the position of this diaphragm with respect to to the liquid inlet and outlet pipes of this pump.
La motopompe à tourbillon pour liquide, illustrée dans la figure 1 comprend une pompe 1 et un moteur d'entraînement 2. La pompe 1 est pourvue d'un corps de pompe 3 divisé en deux compartiments superposés 4 et 5 par un diaphragme 6 à ouverture centrale 7. Le compartiment 4 muni d'une tubulure d'entrée de liquide 8 est appelé chambre d'admission, et le compartiment 5 muni d'une tubulure tangentielle de sortie de liquide 9 est appelé chambre de refoulement. Une turbine 11 est montée dans la pompe 1, adjacente au fond de la chambre de refoulement 5. La turbine 11 entraînée dans sa rotation par le moteur électrique 2, crée un mouvement tourbillonnaire dans la masse de liquide venant de la chambre d'admission 4 à travers l'ouverture centrale 7 du diaphragme 6. Un anneau de liquide en tourbillon se forme ainsi entre la turbine 11 et le diaphragme 6. Dans son mouvement, cet anneau de liquide tend librement à s'évacuer par la tubulure de sortie 9 qui se trouve juste au niveau de l'espace séparant ces turbine 11 et diaphragme 6.The vortex motor pump for liquid, illustrated in FIG. 1 comprises a pump 1 and a
Selon l'invention une amélioration du rendement de cette motopompe est obtenue par une diminution de la liberté de mouvement laissée à cet anneau de liquide en tourbillon, autrément-dit une augmentation du débit de liquide refoulé par la pompe est atteinte par un guidage approprié de cet anneau de liquide vers la tubulure de sortie 9.According to the invention, an improvement in the efficiency of this motor-driven pump is obtained by a reduction in the freedom of movement left to this ring of liquid in a vortex, in other words an increase in the flow rate of liquid delivered by the pump is achieved by appropriate guiding of this ring of liquid towards the
Selon l'exemple illustré pour réaliser une amélioration de rendement de la pompe 1, le diaphragme 6 de celle-ci est muni sur sa face regardant la turbine 11 qui tourne dans le sens de la flèche 13 (figure 4), d'une surface ou barrette radiale de guidage 12 située dans l'alignement de la paroi du côté aval 14 de l'alésage de la tubulure de sortie de liquide 9, la paroi du côté amont de cette tubulure 9 par rapport au sens de rotation de la flèche 13, étant désignée en 15.According to the example illustrated to achieve an improvement in the efficiency of the pump 1, the diaphragm 6 of the latter is provided on its face looking at the
Quand la turbine 11 tourne dans le sens de la flèche 13, l'anneau de liquide en tourbillon formé vient s'écraser sur cette surface ou barrette radiale de guidage 12 qui l'oblige à se refluer dans la tubulure de sortie 9 de manière que le liquide formant cet anneau de liquide a peu de chance de séjourner longtemps dans la chambre de refoulement 5. Le rendement de la pompe est, de ce fait, amélioré. Selon l'invention, la partie 16 du diaphragme 6 qui se trouve en aval de cette barrette radiale saillante de guidage 12 par rapport au sens de la flèche 13, est remplie de manière à prolonger circulairement l'extrémité saillante de cette barrette radiale 12 et à amener graduellement le niveau de cette dernière vers le niveau de la surface du diaphragme (figure 3). La partie 16 ainsi réalisée permet de minimiser les pertes de charge dans le mouvement de l'anneau de liquide en tourbillon et d'améliorer de ce fait, encore l'efficacité de la pompe 1.When the
Selon l'exemple illustré (figures 1, 2, 3) la barrette radiale saillante 12 et la partie remplie 16 du diaphragme 6 sont obtenues par une déformation permanente du corps de ce diaphragme 6. Cette déformation présente sur une face de ce diaphragme une nervure saillante et sur l'autre face, une dépression correspondante. Selon l'invention le diaphragme 6 peut être réalisé soit suivant la technique d'emboutissage soit selon le procédé de moulage.According to the example illustrated (FIGS. 1, 2, 3) the projecting
