Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a metering pump, applicable in particular in the chemical industry for the supply of very low flow rates of liquid products, taken from a reserve and discharged to a device for use.
  • Knowing the volume of the enclosure it is thus possible, by adjusting the speed or the rate of movement of the diaphragm, to provide at the outlet of the pump beyond the discharge valve a precisely determined flow rate which can moreover be adjusted in a wide range of values at the discretion of the user.
  • the subject of the present invention is a metering pump which makes it possible to avoid these drawbacks, by ensuring, even for a very low flow rate, for example less than one liter per hour, instant and guaranteed self-priming of the device, it can also be very small, which allows a cost price significantly reduced vis-à-vis comparable conventional solutions.
  • the metering pump considered comprising a pump body, part of which is constituted by a control membrane fixed in leaktight manner to the pump body and driven back and forth under the effect of a control, so as to periodically reduce and increase a pumping volume defined between the pump body and the diaphragm and two valves, respectively suction and discharge, joined for one to an inlet pipe and for the other to an outlet duct of a liquid to be pumped, these valves being mounted in a support, integral with the pump body and separating the pumping volume communicating with the inlet conduit via the suction valve and a collecting capacity communicating with the pumping volume via the discharge valve and connected to the liquid outlet conduit, is characterized in that each valve consists in a manner known per se, of a flat and thin plate mounted with the interposition of a seal in a housing provided in the support, the housings of the two valves being open respectively to the pumping volume for the suction valve and to the collecting capacity for the discharge valve, the plates of the two valves each bearing against a first face
  • the pumping volume on the one hand, the collecting capacity on the other hand, on each side of the valve support contain an assembly formed by a thin elastic washer against which a layer of porous foam is applied, of so that the liquid sucked in on one side, discharged on the other, crosses with each flapping of the membrane the corresponding assembly, coming from one side of the suction valve and leaving the other from the discharge valve .
  • the membrane comes at the end of its travel corresponding to the minimum dimensions of the pumping volume in direct contact with the layer of foam, which thus reduces the residual volume available.
  • the capillary effect created by the porous foam and the distribution of the liquid pressure created by the washer annoclated allows in all circumstances the self-priming of the pump, even for very limited liquid flow rates or significant pumping heights of the liquid.
  • the inlet duct communicates with the housing of the suction valve and the pumping volume communicates with the housing of the discharge valve by bores machined in the support.
  • the layer of elastic material consists of a polyurethane foam or the like, with open cells.
  • the thin washers disposed respectively in the pumping volume and in the collecting capacity against the suction and discharge valves are made of rubber and immobilized respectively by their periphery between on the one hand in the pumping volume, the support and a shoulder provided in the pump body and on the other hand in the collecting capacity between the support and a closing cover defining this capacity.
  • control membrane has a general shape of revolution around an axis perpendicular to the planes of the valves and is formed by an injected plastic material, this membrane comprising an external collar provided with a housing for a seal applied against a bearing surface of the pump body, the membrane being immobilized thereon by means of a counter-flange.
  • the counter-flange constitutes the support of an electromagnet, comprising a magnetic sheet carcass provided with an electrical winding and capable of attracting against one of its faces extending perpendicular to the axis of the membrane a flat magnetic piece, integral with a sliding rod axially passing through the winding and a passage formed in the counter-flange facing the membrane, this rod being connected to the center of the latter along its axis by a connecting end piece.
  • the sliding rod comprises a support plate for a return spring of the flat magnetic part, opposing the attraction of the latter by the electromagnet, this spring being held against a bearing opposite on the counter flange.
  • the cover for closing the collecting capacity is extended by a threaded plug, provided with an axial passage through which the liquid supply duct passes, this plug being able to be secured by screwing with the end of a container or reserve of liquid to be pumped.
  • the pump considered consists mainly of a plastic pump body 1 on which is mounted a protective bell 2 of plastic or other material.
  • This bell 2 intended as will be seen below, to contain an electromagnet for controlling the pump, has a lateral extension 3, clamped at its end by means of a sealing collar 4 on electrical connection yarns 5 of the electromagnet.
  • the pump body 1 is associated with a cover 6, provided at its lower end with a plug 7 axially traversed by a conduit 8 for sucking the liquid to be pumped, connecting directly to the interior of the pump body 1.
  • a conduit for discharging the same liquid discharged by the pump is designated by the reference 9, the latter being directly connected to the cover 6 applied against the body 1.
  • the end plug 7 is in particular intended to allow direct connection of the pump on the end of a can 10 or a similar reserve, of the liquid to be pumped ( Figure 2).
  • FIG. 3 illustrates in more detail the embodiment of the pump considered and in particular of the valves thereof and the means associated therewith.
  • the body of the pump 1 comprises a transverse flange 11 against which a flange 12 applied internally at the corresponding end of the protective bell 2 is applied, this flange 12 being clamped between the flange 11 and a counter-flange 13 applied against the latter and assembled with the latter in the manner which will be described in more detail below, with reference to FIG. 6.
  • This counter-flange 13 comprises a first cylindrical flange 14 against the upper end 15 from which the end face 16 of an electromagnet 17 is applied, the detail of which is of little importance to the invention and is in itself classic.
  • This electromagnet 17 comprises in particular an electric coil 18 joined directly inside the bell 2 to the connections 5, and has axially a bore 19 internally provided with bearings 20 and 21, allowing movement without play inside this bore 19 of a sliding rod 22.
  • This comprises at its end directed towards the bottom of the bell 2, a threaded extension 23 freely passing through a hole in the center of a magnetic piece 24 forming a magnet, capable of being attracted by the electromagnet 17 when the latter is energized.
  • the part 24 is immobilized against a shoulder 25 formed at the end of the rod 22 and is locked against the latter by a washer 26 and a nut 27 engaged on the threaded extension 23.
  • the rod 22 rests on a transverse plate 28, itself serving as a stop at the end of a helical spring 29 mounted coaxially with the sliding rod 22, this spring 29 being housed inside a second cylindrical flange 30, formed in the counter-flange 13 inside the first flange 14.
  • the spring 29, immobilized between the central part 31 of the counter-flange 13 and the plate 28, makes it possible to exercise on the latter and consequently on the rod 22, an antagonistic force opposing the attraction of the electromagnet 17 vis-à-vis the magnetic part 24, and in particular in the absence of electrical supply on the reel 18, pushing this piece back into the position illustrated in the drawing.
  • the coil when the coil is energized, it attracts to the left of the drawing the part 24, the attraction stroke of which is shown diagrammatically in the figure by the distance "e".
  • a semi-rigid control membrane 32 made of a suitable pre-formed plastic material.
  • This membrane 32 comprises an end flange 33, trapped between the flange 11 and the counter flange 13 and has an external groove 34 for housing an O-ring seal 35.
  • the membrane 32 comprises an end piece 37 arranged in the extension of the rod 22, this end piece 37 having a hollow profile internally threaded and in which is screwed a threaded portion 38 provided at the corresponding end of the rod 22.
  • An O-ring 39 is mounted between the semi-rigid membrane 32 and the corresponding face of the counter-flange 14 in order to avoid, in the position of maximum displacement of the rod 22 under the effect of the electromagnet, a damaging crushing of the membrane.
  • the suction duct 8 penetrates inside the pump body 1 through a seal 40 and opens into a housing 41 in which is mounted a support 42 for the valves of the pump, as shown in more detail Figure 4.
  • the discharge conduit 9 for its part enters the cover 6 through a seal 43 subjected to the action of a washer 44, itself held in place by a cover 45 blocked by means of a screw 46 on a bearing face 47 provided on the outside of the body 1, the seal between the cover 6 and the body 1 being produced during assembly by means of a seal 48.
  • the support 42 of the valves of the pump 1 delimits inside the assembly constituted by the pump body 1 and the cover 6, two separate regions constituting respectively the pumping volume 49 between the support and the control membrane 32 and a collecting capacity 50 where the pumped liquid is collected, between the support 42 and the cover 6.
  • the support 42 (FIG. 4) has two pipes 51 and 52 respectively, the first of these putting in communication the housing 41 where the suction duct 8 opens with the pumping volume 49, while the second puts this same volume 49 in communication with the collecting capacity 50.
  • the support 42 also comprises, towards the end of the pipes 51 and 52 opening for one into the pumping volume 49 and the collecting capacity 50 for the other, two suction valves 53 and discharge 59 respectively, of which the detail is also illustrated in the perspective view of FIG. 5.
  • the suction valve T 53 consists of a plate 54 made of a rigid material, of stainless steel or other, against which an O-ring seal is applied. 55.
  • the plate 54 is in abutment in its face directed towards the pumping volume 49 against a washer 56 of rubber or other similar material of small thickness, comprising through its surface a set of communication holes 57.
  • the discharge valve 59 mounted at the opposite end of the pipe 52 to the collecting capacity 50 likewise comprises a plate 60, a seal 61, a rubber washer 62 whose surface is pierced with a set of communication holes 63 and a complementary piece or washer of polyurethane foam 64, mounted against the cover 6.
  • the dosing pump also comprises, as illustrated in FIG. 6, means allowing an easy and rapid assembly of its main parts by means of a single fixing member.
  • the counter-flange 13 is associated with an anchoring part 65 having a flange 66 engaged in a housing 67 of the end face 16 of the electromagnet 17.
  • This part 65 comprises a threaded part 68 receiving the end of a stud 69 which thus rigidly assembles the cover 6, the pump body 1, the counter flange 13 and the bell 2.
  • the cover 6 is extended in the direction of the suction duct 8 by a flange 70 through which this duct passes and provided in its upper end with a flange 71, allowing both the attachment and the free rotation of the threaded plug 7, the latter comprising an internal thread 72 cooperating with the end 73 of the container or liquid reserve 10, into which the end of the duct 8 plunges.

  • the layers of foam arranged behind the rubber washers for their part have a thickness not exceeding 2 mm.
  • One of the main advantages of the metering pump thus produced consists in its self-priming whatever the requested flow rate, the rate of movement of the membrane, and the nature of the liquid to be pumped. Furthermore, the very simple construction of the pump and its relatively limited number of parts make it possible to significantly lower its cost price and in such a way that it can, as a general rule, constitute a simple accessory sold with cans or liquid reserves. considered, by providing the purchaser with a particularly appreciated advantage.
