Abstract
Description
Il est habituel de mettre en oeuvre, dans les pompes à membranes à commande hydraulique, des membranes planes composites dont on pince le bord de manière étanche entre deux pièces mobiles du corps.It is usual to use, in hydraulically controlled diaphragm pumps, composite flat membranes, the edge of which is clamped tightly between two moving parts of the body.
Lorsque, en position de repos, la membrane pincée est plane, elle travaille en extension, ce qui à la longue entraîne une déformation permanente. Cette déformation est, dans la pratique, aléatoire et constitue une incertitude quant au fonctionnement de la pompe.When, in the rest position, the pinched membrane is flat, it works in extension, which in the long term causes permanent deformation. This deformation is, in practice, random and constitutes uncertainty as to the operation of the pump.
Pour remédier à l'inconvénient d'une telle déformation, on met parfois en place une membrane de diamètre extérieur supérieur au diamètre de montage dans la pompe. Il se produit alors un flambage qui crée une incertitude quant à la position de la membrane au repos.To remedy the drawback of such a deformation, a membrane with an outside diameter greater than the mounting diameter is sometimes installed in the pump. A buckling then occurs which creates uncertainty as to the position of the membrane at rest.
Ces déformations, voulues ou non, ont également une incidence sur le fonctionnement des systèmes de compensation commandée qui peut comporter des aléas indésirables. Elles constituent un problème important pour les pompes à double membrane. Il est en effet difficile de remplir correctement l'espace intermédiaire (entre les deux membranes) délimité par des membranes déformées de manière aléatoire.These deformations, whether desired or not, also have an impact on the operation of controlled compensation systems which may include undesirable hazards. They are a major problem for double diaphragm pumps. It is indeed difficult to correctly fill the intermediate space (between the two membranes) delimited by randomly deformed membranes.
Enfin le serrage de la membrane sur sa périphérie entraîne un affaiblissement de cette dernière à ce niveau, affaiblissementqui peut se traduire par une déchirure ou du moins par une longévité moins importante.Finally the tightening of the membrane on its periphery leads to a weakening of the latter at this level, weakening which can result in a tear or at least in a less important longevity.
La présente invention entend remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une nouvelle membrane.The present invention intends to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a new membrane.
Par le brevet français No 581223, on connaît une membrane en caoutchouc pour pompe dont les deux faces sont au contact de deux fluides différents, cette membrane formant une coupelle sensiblement sphérique qui comporte un bord annulaire extérieur sensiblement plan.French patent No. 581223 discloses a rubber membrane for a pump, the two faces of which are in contact with two different fluids, this membrane forming a substantially spherical cup which has a substantially planar outer annular edge.
Par le brevet français No 1547601, on connaît également une membrane pour pompe à vide, qui est constituée par deux couches, l'une en caoutchouc et l'autre en un tétrafluoréthylène.From French patent No. 1547601, a membrane for a vacuum pump is also known, which is made up of two layers, one made of rubber and the other of a tetrafluoroethylene.
Par le brevet US No 3771907, on connaît une membrane pour pompe à boisson mue mécaniquement, cette membrane étant fixée dans le corps de pompe par un bourrelet faisant saillie sur chacune des faces du bord annulaire de cette membrane.From patent US Pat. No. 3,771,907, a membrane for a mechanically driven beverage pump is known, this membrane being fixed in the pump body by a bead projecting from each of the faces of the annular edge of this membrane.
Dès lors, selon l'invention, la membrane pour pompe à membrane à commande hydraulique dont les deux faces sont au contact de deux fluides différents forme une coupelle sensiblement sphérique comportant un bord annulaire extérieur sensiblement plan, et est constituée par deux couches, l'une en caoutchouc et l'autre en matière plastique telle qu'un tétrafluoréthylène, et est pourvue sur chacune des faces de son bord d'un bourrelet de fixation de la membrane dans le corps de pompe.Therefore, according to the invention, the diaphragm for a hydraulically operated diaphragm pump, the two faces of which are in contact with two different fluids forms a substantially spherical cup having a substantially planar outer annular edge, and is formed by two layers, the one made of rubber and the other of plastic such as tetrafluoroethylene, and is provided on each of the faces of its edge with a bead for fixing the membrane in the pump body.
Il sera par ailleurs avantageux que la profondeur de la coupelle sphérique intérieure soit de l'ordre de 4 à 6% du diamètre intérieur dudit bord annulaire.It will also be advantageous for the depth of the interior spherical cup to be of the order of 4 to 6% of the interior diameter of said annular edge.
La présente invention concerne également la pompe adaptée pour recevoir au moins une telle membrane, dont le corps comporte au moins deux éléments entre lesquels la membrane est serrée.The present invention also relates to the pump adapted to receive at least one such membrane, the body of which comprises at least two elements between which the membrane is clamped.
Cette pompe est remarquable en ce que chacun desdits éléments est pourvu d'une gorge torique pour recevoir les bourrelets susdits et en ce que le rapprochement des éléments en fin de serrage est limité à 80% environ de l'épaisseur totale de la membrane au niveau de ses bourrelets, le serrage n'étant effectué que sur les bourrelets.This pump is remarkable in that each of said elements is provided with an O-ring groove to receive the aforementioned beads and in that the bringing together of the elements at the end of tightening is limited to approximately 80% of the total thickness of the membrane at the level of its beads, the tightening being carried out only on the beads.
L'invention sera mieux comprise au cours de la description donnée ci-après à titre d'exemple purement indicatif et non limitatif, qui permettra d'en dégager les avantages et les caractéristiques secondaires.The invention will be better understood during the description given below by way of purely indicative and nonlimiting example, which will make it possible to identify the advantages and the secondary characteristics thereof.
Il sera fait référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:
- la fig. 1 est une vue en coupe de la membrane selon l'invention;
- les fig 2 et 2A illustrent une pompe à double membrane dans laquelle la membrane est appliquée, la fig. 2A étant une vue grossie d'un détail de la fig. 2.
- fig. 1 is a sectional view of the membrane according to the invention;
- Figs 2 and 2A illustrate a double diaphragm pump in which the diaphragm is applied, fig. 2A being an enlarged view of a detail of FIG. 2.
Sur la fig. 1, on voit une membrane selon l'invention constituée par une calotte sphérique 1 de diamètre D entourée d'un rebord annulaire 2 sensiblement plan de largeur E.In fig. 1, we see a membrane according to the invention constituted by a
Cette calotte 1 et ce rebord 2 sont en une seule pièce et constitués par un matériau composite dont la couche la plus épaisse 3 est en caoutchouc (naturel ou synthétique) et dont la couche la plus mince 4 est constituée par une matière plastique, notamment par un tétrafluoréthylène. Dans le cas de la figure, la proportion en épaisseur des deux constituants est environ % pour le caoutchouc et Ik pour le tétrafluoréthylène.This
La profondeur de la calotte sphérique F (ou la flèche de celle-ci dans le plan de coupe) est comprise entre 0,04 et 0,06 D.The depth of the spherical cap F (or the arrow thereof in the cutting plane) is between 0.04 and 0.06 D.
Il faut remarquer enfin que le rebord 2 comporte sur chacune de ses faces un bourrelet 2a et 2b constitué sensiblement par un demi-tore dont le rayon R est de l'ordre de l'épaisseur de la membrane. Dans la pratique, on a constaté que, pour toutes les membranes d'une gamme, on pouvait adopter une valeur de R égale à 2,5 mm.Finally, it should be noted that the
La fig. 2 illustre schématiquement une pompe à double membrane à commande hydraulique. La chambre de commande 5 est associée de manière connue à un piston 6 et à un dispositif de compensation 7. Une première membrane 8 isole cette chambre d'une chambre intermédiaire 9, elle-même isolée par une seconde membrane 10 de la chambre de pompage 11.Fig. 2 schematically illustrates a double diaphragm pump with hydraulic control. The
Les membranes 8 et 10 sont attelées, comme le montre en détail la fig. 2A, par pincement entre des éléments 12a, 12b, 12c du corps de pompe. Ces éléments sont pourvus frontalement de gorges toriques 13 pour recevoir les bourrelets 2a, 2b des membranes.The
Une fois serrés les uns contre les autres, les éléments 12a, 12b, 12c ainsi que les gorges 13 ont des dimensions telles que, d'une part, l'écrasement des bourrelets 2a, 2b n'excède pas 20% de la dimension E (voir fig. 1 ) de la membrane à cet endroit et que, d'autre part, le reste de la membrane situé entre les éléments susdits n'est pas pincé. Ainsi, les membranes sont encastrées uniquement au niveau des bourrelets qui coopèrent avec les éléments 12a à 12c à la manière de joints toriques pour assurer l'étanchéité entre les chambres 5, 9 et 11.Once tightened against each other, the
Les avantages de l'invention résident dans le fait qu'une pompe équipée de la membrane ci-dessus décrite possède, à diamètre égal, une plus grande capacité. En outre, la longévité de la membrane est accrue et sa tenue en fonctionnement améliorée. L'étanchéité assurée au montage est meilleure (analogue à celle du joint torique) avec un effort de serrage inférieur à celui habituellement pratiqué sur les pompes classiques. Enfin, dans l'application aux pompes à double membrane, le volume intermédiaire est beaucoup mieux défini par les membranes selon l'invention et peut être beaucoup mieux rempli.The advantages of the invention lie in the fact that a pump equipped with the above-described membrane has, for equal diameter, a greater capacity. In addition, the longevity of the membrane is increased and its operating performance improved. The tightness ensured during assembly is better (similar to that of the O-ring) with a clamping force lower than that usually practiced on conventional pumps. Finally, in the application to double diaphragm pumps, the intermediate volume is much better defined by the membranes according to the invention and can be much better filled.
L'invention trouve une application intéressante dans le domaine des pompes à membranes commandées hydrauliquement, et particulièrement des pompes doseuses.The invention finds an interesting application in the field of hydraulically controlled diaphragm pumps, and in particular metering pumps.
