Definitions
- the present invention relates to a radial centrifugal pump, the working side of which is completely tightly separated from the drive side by a canned pot, in which, in addition, the pump impeller, which is mounted on a shaft between two axial end stops, is driven via a magnetic coupling acting through the wall of the canned pot and is in operation the impeller act axial thrust, caused by different pressure ratios on the impeller front and impeller rear, means being provided to compensate for these thrust forces.
- Centrifugal pumps of this type are generally known. Their field of application is very wide, but due to the lack of seals, it is mainly in the field of chemistry, where particularly toxic or otherwise aggressive liquids have to be pumped.
- centrifugal pumps in the form of so-called canned motor pumps or magnetic coupling pumps was the collection and balancing of the hydraulic forces inside the pump, in particular the thrust forces acting on the pump wheel.
- the previously known solutions were unsatisfactory in the sense that complex constructions were required, which were also associated with relatively high energy losses (friction losses, efficiency reductions). This is all the more regrettable, since today's materials have made it possible to build the actual drive system more compactly and thus to keep the outer dimensions small.
- the purpose of the present invention was to find in radial or axial centrifugal pumps of the type described at the outset a structurally simple solution for compensating for the axial thrust acting on the impeller, which further simplifies the actual pump construction and helps to reduce the internal forces that previously occurred that in particular the canned tube can be made with a further reduced wall thickness, which in turn can improve the overall efficiency.
- the solution to this problem is characterized according to the invention in that the actual pump impeller, on its front side, i.e. on the side facing the suction, the delivery channels are provided, an auxiliary delivery wheel is assigned, which serves to reduce the pressure in the room or the rooms on the rear of the impeller.
- the spaces on the rear of the impeller usually consist of a so-called hub space and an inner and outer drive space.
- the latter two spaces are separated from one another by the flange of the carrier of one magnetic coupling part, which flange-like protrudes from the rear of the impeller.
- control means preferably in the form of control slots or channels, are preferably provided on the pump housing, specifically in relation to the periphery of the delivery channels of the auxiliary delivery wheel, so that the medium conveyed by the auxiliary delivery wheel from the space behind the impeller as a function of the to promote the pressure conditions prevailing on the front or rear of the impeller into the pressure chamber of the pump.
- the auxiliary conveyor wheel is preferably arranged or formed on the rear side of the actual pump impeller, for example directly on the rear wall of the pump impeller.
- the conveying channels of the auxiliary conveying wheel are preferably designed such that they communicate with one or more of the spaces on the rear of the impeller. For example, a number of separate conveying channels of the auxiliary conveying wheel can be assigned to each of the spaces to be relieved. Depending on the magnitude of the thrust forces that arise in each case, the output of the delivery channels of the auxiliary feed wheel is more or less covered by the control means, caused by an oscillating axial displacement of the pump impeller, which ensures permanent automatic thrust compensation.
- thrust compensation enables impellers with open or closed blading to be used as desired.
- the bearing journal or the support shaft for the impeller can e.g. be integrated into the end face of the containment shell, or, in the case of larger embodiments, be supported in a suitable manner in the intake manifold.
- pumps of any desired type can be built without complex control channels.
- the rooms on the rear of the impeller can also be rinsed with cleaning fluid with little effort.
- only a supply line for cleaning fluid into the rear hub space is required, from which certain delivery channels of the auxiliary feed wheel lead the rinsing fluid into the outer drive space.
- the flushing liquid could also be supplied directly to the outer drive compartment.
- the construction according to the invention is particularly suitable for pumps in which the driven part is designed as an external rotor, since on the one hand modern materials allow the construction of rotors with a low mass and on the other hand practically no friction losses occur. Nevertheless, the inevitable gaps can be made very narrow, since the risk of clogging is greatly reduced in the construction according to the invention.
- Fig. L of the drawing shows purely schematically a radial centrifugal pump with magnetic coupling in section, wherein in the lower half of the picture a variant of the upper half of the picture is shown both with respect to the canned pot and the impeller. However, the variants have no influence on the basic structure of the pump.
- the pump essentially consists of a housing 1 with intake port 2, a bearing pin 3 arranged in the example shown in the intake port 2 (which in the lower variant is also formed in one piece with the canned pot bottom) for a pump impeller 4 and one for the working side (pump side) completely sealed from the drive side (motor side) separating canned pot 5. Also shown is internal magnetic rotor 6 of a drive motor, not shown, the housing of which is flanged to the pump housing 1.
- the bearing journal 3 for the pump impeller 4 is seated in a hub cover 3 ⁇ , which is supported and fastened in the intake flange 2 via supports 7, 8.
- the medium to be conveyed reaches the pressure chamber 8 via the suction port 2 and the pump impeller 4 (in the example shown a closed impeller) and from there into the pressure line (not shown).
- the impeller 4 with closed blades 4 ⁇ is overhung on the bearing journal 3, it being able to move freely between the stops 9 and 10 under the axial thrust forces that occur. As will be shown, the impeller does not come to rest against the stops 9, 10, which essentially serve to position the wheel.
- This ring flange l2 divides the pump-side drive space l3, which is located on the rear side of the impeller 4, into an outer and an inner space A or B. Also on the impeller rear side is a so-called hub space C.
- the core of the present invention now lies in this pressure or thrust compensation:
- the pressure acting on the impeller from rooms A, B and C is greater than the pressure on the suction or front side of the impeller 4, so that the impeller would be pressed in the suction direction without special precautions. However, this should be avoided.
- auxiliary conveyor wheel 4 which usually consists of one piece with the actual pump impeller 4, the pressure on the back of the impeller is now reduced and the axial movement of the impeller 4 in the direction of the intake is thereby stopped. So that there is no opposite movement of the impeller 4, i.e. a shift in the direction of the drive side, the delivery rate of the auxiliary conveyor wheel 4 ⁇ is controlled:
- one or more bores 17 are preferably provided between the pressure space 8 of the pump and the drive space A.
- the auxiliary conveyor wheel 4 ⁇ can be designed such that from the different rooms A, B and C inlet openings 18, l9 and 20, respectively, to the individual delivery channels l6 of the auxiliary conveyor wheel 4 ⁇ are provided, with a different design that for each room A, B and C a number of separate delivery channels (e.g. 2l for room C in the lower variant) are provided.
- a mixed construction is also conceivable.
- a rinsing liquid can be conveyed into the space C via a line 22 and a bore 23 in the journal 3 in order to from there to be promoted via the delivery channels 2l of the auxiliary feed wheel 4 ⁇ not in the pressure chamber 8 of the pump, but in room A (and from here in room B). Excellent cleaning of the pump can thus be carried out in a simple manner.
- a rinsing or cleaning liquid could, however, also be introduced directly into space A, for example via an inlet 24.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show purely schematically how the control of the delivery rate of the auxiliary feed wheel 4 ⁇ via control slots on the housing, relative to the feed channels of the auxiliary feed wheel.
- the delivery channels are covered and the pressure in room A will increase
- Fig. 3 shows the situation with delivery channels open via the control slots, in which the pressure in room A decreases.
- Fig. 4 finally shows a purely schematic plan view of the rear of the impeller, i.e. on the auxiliary feed wheel, with different inlet openings in the feed channels.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Radialkreiselpumpe, deren Arbeitsseite von der Antriebsseite durch einen Spaltrohrtopf vollständig dicht getrennt ist, bei welcher zudem der Antrieb des zwischen zwei axialen Endanschlägen fliegend auf einer Welle gelagerten Pumpenlaufrades über eine durch die Wand des Spaltrohrtopfes wirkende Magnetkupplung erfolgt und im Betrieb auf das Laufrad axiale Schubkräfte einwirken, hervorgerufen durch unterschiedliche Druckverhältnisse auf der Laufradvorderseite und Laufradrückseite, wobei Mittel vorgesehen sind, um diese Schubkräfte auszugleichen.The present invention relates to a radial centrifugal pump, the working side of which is completely tightly separated from the drive side by a canned pot, in which, in addition, the pump impeller, which is mounted on a shaft between two axial end stops, is driven via a magnetic coupling acting through the wall of the canned pot and is in operation the impeller act axial thrust, caused by different pressure ratios on the impeller front and impeller rear, means being provided to compensate for these thrust forces.
Derartige Kreiselpumpen sind allgemein bekannt. Ihr Anwendungsgebiet ist sehr breit, liegt jedoch wegen des Fehlens von Dichtungen hauptsächlich auf dem Gebiet der Chemie, wo besonders giftige bzw. anderweitig aggressive Flüssigkeit zu fördern sind.Centrifugal pumps of this type are generally known. Their field of application is very wide, but due to the lack of seals, it is mainly in the field of chemistry, where particularly toxic or otherwise aggressive liquids have to be pumped.
Das Problem bei den bekannten Kreiselpumpen in Form von sog. Spaltrohrmotor-Pumpen oder Magnetkupplungspumpen bestand im Auffangen und Ausgleichen der hydraulischen Kräfte im Pumpeninnern, insbesondere der auf das Pumpenrad wirkenden Schubkräfte. Die bisher bekannten Lösungen waren in dem Sinne unbefriedigend, als aufwendige Konstruktionen erforderlich waren, welche zudem mit relativ hohen Energieverlusten behaftet waren (Reibungsverluste, Wirkungsgradminderungen). Dies ist umso bedauerlicher, als es mit den heutigen Materialien möglich geworden ist, das eigentliche Antriebssystem immer gedrungener zu bauen und damit die äusseren Abmessungen gering zu halten.The problem with the known centrifugal pumps in the form of so-called canned motor pumps or magnetic coupling pumps was the collection and balancing of the hydraulic forces inside the pump, in particular the thrust forces acting on the pump wheel. The previously known solutions were unsatisfactory in the sense that complex constructions were required, which were also associated with relatively high energy losses (friction losses, efficiency reductions). This is all the more regrettable, since today's materials have made it possible to build the actual drive system more compactly and thus to keep the outer dimensions small.
Zweck der vorliegenden Erfindung war es nun, bei Radial- oder Axialkreiselpumpen der eingangs beschriebenen Art eine konstruktiv einfache Lösung für den Ausgleich des auf das Laufrad einwirkenden Axialschubes zu finden, welche eine weitere Vereinfachung der eigentlichen Pumpenkonstruktion ermöglicht und die früher auftretenden inneren Kräfte soweit verringern hilft, dass insbesondere das Spaltrohr mit noch weiter reduzierter Wandstärke ausgeführt werden kann, womit wiederum der Gesamtwirkungsgrad verbessert werden kann.The purpose of the present invention was to find in radial or axial centrifugal pumps of the type described at the outset a structurally simple solution for compensating for the axial thrust acting on the impeller, which further simplifies the actual pump construction and helps to reduce the internal forces that previously occurred that in particular the canned tube can be made with a further reduced wall thickness, which in turn can improve the overall efficiency.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe zeichnet sich erfindungsgemäss dadurch aus, dass dem eigentlichen Pumpenlaufrad, auf dessen Vorderseite, d.h. der dem Ansaug zugewandten Seite die Förderkanäle vorgesehen sind, ein Hilfsförderrad zugeordnet ist, welches dem Druckabbau im Raum bzw. den Räumen auf der Laufradrückseite dient.The solution to this problem is characterized according to the invention in that the actual pump impeller, on its front side, i.e. on the side facing the suction, the delivery channels are provided, an auxiliary delivery wheel is assigned, which serves to reduce the pressure in the room or the rooms on the rear of the impeller.
Die laufradrückseitigen Räume bestehen üblicherweise aus einem sog. Nabenraum und einem inneren und äusseren Antriebsraum. Die letztgenannten beiden Räume werden von dem von der Laufradrückseite flanschförmig wegragenden Träger des einen Magnetkupplungsteils voneinander getrennt. Zwischen dem Spalttopf und den rotierenden Teilen des Laufrades sind Spalte vorhanden, über welche die genannten Räume miteinander in Verbindung stehen.The spaces on the rear of the impeller usually consist of a so-called hub space and an inner and outer drive space. The latter two spaces are separated from one another by the flange of the carrier of one magnetic coupling part, which flange-like protrudes from the rear of the impeller. There are gaps between the containment shell and the rotating parts of the impeller, via which the spaces mentioned are connected to one another.
Damit der Schubausgleich optimal erfolgen kann, sind vorzugsweise am Pumpengehäuse, und zwar gegenüber der Peripherie der Förderkanäle des Hilfsförderrades Steuermittel, vorzugsweise in Form von Steuerschlitzen bzw. -kanälen vorgesehen, um das vom Hilfsförderrad aus dem Raum hinter dem Laufrad geförderten Medium in Abhängigkeit der auf der Laufradvorderseite bzw. -rückseite herrschenden Druckverhältnisse in den Druckraum der Pumpe zu fördern.So that the thrust compensation can take place optimally, control means, preferably in the form of control slots or channels, are preferably provided on the pump housing, specifically in relation to the periphery of the delivery channels of the auxiliary delivery wheel, so that the medium conveyed by the auxiliary delivery wheel from the space behind the impeller as a function of the to promote the pressure conditions prevailing on the front or rear of the impeller into the pressure chamber of the pump.
Vorzugsweise ist das Hilfsförderrad auf der Rückseite des eigentlichen Pumpenlaufrades, und zwar beispielsweise direkt auf der Rückwand des Pumpenlaufrades angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet.The auxiliary conveyor wheel is preferably arranged or formed on the rear side of the actual pump impeller, for example directly on the rear wall of the pump impeller.
Die Förderkanäle des Hilfsförderrades sind vorzugsweise derart ausgebildet, dass diese mit einem oder mehreren der Räume auf der Laufradrückseite kommunizieren. Beispielsweise können jedem der zu entlastenden Räume eine Anzahl eigene Förderkanäle des Hilfsförderrades zugeordnet sein. Je nach Grösse der sich jeweils einstellenden Schubkräfte ist der Ausgang der Förderkanäle des Hilfsförderrades durch die Steuermittel mehr oder weniger abgedeckt, hervorgerufen durch eine pendelnde axiale Verschiebung des Pumpenlaufrades, was einen dauernden automatischen Schubausgleich gewährleistet.The conveying channels of the auxiliary conveying wheel are preferably designed such that they communicate with one or more of the spaces on the rear of the impeller. For example, a number of separate conveying channels of the auxiliary conveying wheel can be assigned to each of the spaces to be relieved. Depending on the magnitude of the thrust forces that arise in each case, the output of the delivery channels of the auxiliary feed wheel is more or less covered by the control means, caused by an oscillating axial displacement of the pump impeller, which ensures permanent automatic thrust compensation.
Die erfindungsgemässe Ausgestaltung des sog. Schubausgleiches ermöglicht nach Wahl Laufräder mit offener oder geschlossener Beschaufelung einzusetzen.The design according to the invention of the so-called thrust compensation enables impellers with open or closed blading to be used as desired.
Der Lagerzapfen bzw. die Tragwelle für das Laufrad kann z.B. in die Stirnseite des Spalttopfes integriert sein, oder bei grösseren Ausführungsformen, im Ansaugstutzen auf geeignete Weise abgestützt sein.The bearing journal or the support shaft for the impeller can e.g. be integrated into the end face of the containment shell, or, in the case of larger embodiments, be supported in a suitable manner in the intake manifold.
Mit der erfindungsgemässen Lösung können Pumpen jeder gewünschten Bauart ohne aufwendige Steuerkanäle gebaut werden. Mit geringem Aufwand können zudem die Räume auf der Laufradrückseite mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit gespült werden. Zu diesem Zweck ist lediglich eine Zuleitung für Reinigungsflüssigkeit in den rückseitigen Nabenraum erforderlich, aus welchem gewisse Förderkanäle des Hilfsförderrades die Spülflüssigkeit in den äusseren Antriebsraum leiten. Selbstverständlich könnte die Spülflüssigkeit auch direkt dem äusseren Antriebsraum zugeführt werden.With the solution according to the invention, pumps of any desired type can be built without complex control channels. The rooms on the rear of the impeller can also be rinsed with cleaning fluid with little effort. For this purpose, only a supply line for cleaning fluid into the rear hub space is required, from which certain delivery channels of the auxiliary feed wheel lead the rinsing fluid into the outer drive space. Of course, the flushing liquid could also be supplied directly to the outer drive compartment.
Die erfindungsgemässe Konstruktion eignet sich besonders für Pumpen, bei denen der getriebene Teil als Aussenrotor ausgebildet ist, da einerseits moderne Materialien den Bau von Rotoren mit geringer Masse zulassen und andererseits praktisch keine Reibverluste auftreten. Trotzdem können die unvermeidlichen Spalten sehr eng gestaltet werden, da bei der erfindungsgemässen Konstruktion die Verstopfungsgefahr stark reduziert ist.The construction according to the invention is particularly suitable for pumps in which the driven part is designed as an external rotor, since on the one hand modern materials allow the construction of rotors with a low mass and on the other hand practically no friction losses occur. Nevertheless, the inevitable gaps can be made very narrow, since the risk of clogging is greatly reduced in the construction according to the invention.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen noch etwas näher erläutert. Es zeigt:
- Fig. l einen rein schematischen Schnitt durch eine Radialkreiselpumpe nach der Erfindung, wobei oberhalb und unterhalb der Längsachse zwei verschiedene Varianten gezeigt sind;
- Fig. 2 und 3 rein schematisch die Steuerung der Fördermenge des Hilfsförderrades, und
- Fig. 4 eine schematische Draufsicht auf das Hilfsförderrad.
- 1 shows a purely schematic section through a radial centrifugal pump according to the invention, two different variants being shown above and below the longitudinal axis;
- 2 and 3 purely schematically the control of the delivery rate of the auxiliary feed wheel, and
- Fig. 4 is a schematic plan view of the auxiliary feed wheel.
Fig. l der Zeichnung zeigt rein schematisch eine Radialkreiselpumpe mit Magnetkupplung im Schnitt, wobei in der unteren Bildhälfte eine Variante zur oberen Bildhälfte sowohl bezüglich des Spaltrohrtopfes wie auch des Laufrades gezeigt ist. Die Varianten haben jedoch keinen Einfluss auf den grundsätzlichen Aufbau der Pumpe.Fig. L of the drawing shows purely schematically a radial centrifugal pump with magnetic coupling in section, wherein in the lower half of the picture a variant of the upper half of the picture is shown both with respect to the canned pot and the impeller. However, the variants have no influence on the basic structure of the pump.
Die Pumpe besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Gehäuse l mit Ansaugstutzen 2, einem beim gezeigten Beispiel im Ansaugstutzen 2 angeordneten Lagerzapfen 3 (welcher bei der unteren Variante zudem mit dem Spaltrohrtopfboden einstückig ausgebildet ist) für ein Pumpenlaufrad 4 und einem die Arbeitsseite (Pumpenseite) vollständig dicht von der Antriebsseite (Motorseite) trennenden Spaltrohrtopf 5. Gezeigt ist ferner der innenliegende Magnetrotor 6 eines nicht dargestellten Antriebsmotors, dessen Gehäuse an das Pumpengehäuse l angeflanscht wird.The pump essentially consists of a
Der Lagerzapfen 3 für das Pumpenlaufrad 4 sitzt in einer Nabenverkleidung 3ʹ, welche über Träger 7,8 im Ansaugflansch 2 abgestützt und befestigt ist. Das zu fördernde Medium gelangt über den Ansaugstutzen 2 und das Pumpenlaufrad 4 (beim gezeigten Beispiel ein geschlossenes Laufrad) in den Druckraum 8 und von dort in die Druckleitung (nicht dargestellt).The
Das Laufrad 4 mit geschlossener Beschaufelung 4ʹ ist fliegend auf dem Lagerzapfen 3 gelagert, wobei es sich unter den auftretenden Axialschubkräften axial zwischen den Anschlägen 9 und l0 frei bewegen kann. Wie noch gezeigt wird, kommt das Laufrad allerdings nicht zur Anlage an den Anschlägen 9,l0, welche im wesentlichen der Positionierung des Rades dienen.The
Ein hier aussenliegender Magnetrotor ll, welcher Teil der Magnetkupplung bildet und unter dem Einfluss des motorisch angetriebenen inneren Rotors 6 ebenfalls in Drehung versetzt wird und dem Antrieb des Pumpenrades 4 dient, ist in einem auf der Rückseite des Laufrades angeordneten, axial abstehenden Ringflansch l2 untergebracht.A
Dieser Ringflansch l2 unterteilt dabei den pumpenseitigen Antriebsraum l3, welcher auf der Rückseite des Laufrades 4 liegt, in einen äusseren und einen inneren Raum A bzw. B. Ebenfalls auf der Laufradrückseite befindet sich noch ein sog. Nabenraum C.This ring flange l2 divides the pump-side drive space l3, which is located on the rear side of the
Da derartige Radialkkreiselpumpen nach Möglichkeit ohne Reibungsverluste erzeugende Dichtungen ausgeführt werden, gelangt automatisch ein Teil der geförderten Flüssigkeit über die vorhandenen Spalten in die Räume A, B und C auf der Rückseite des Laufrades 4, wobei ein Druck aufgebaut wird. Dieser Druck soll nun so gering wie möglich gehalten werden, damit einerseits die Wandstärke des Spaltrohrtopfes 5 so gering wie möglich gehalten werden kann (Verbesserung des Wirkungsgrades der Magnetkupplung) und andererseits die in Richtung der Ansaugöffnung auf das Laufrad 4 wirkende Schubkraft klein bzw. ausgeglichen gehalten werden kann.Since radial centrifugal pumps of this type are, if possible, designed without generating frictional losses, part of the liquid conveyed automatically passes through the existing gaps into spaces A, B and C on the rear of the
In diesem Druck- bzw. Schubausgleich liegt nun der Kern der vorliegenden Erfindung:The core of the present invention now lies in this pressure or thrust compensation:
Es wurde gefunden, dass durch die Anordnung eines sog. Hilfsförderrades 4ʺ auf der Rückseite des eientlichen Pumpenlaufrades 4 der Druck in den Räumen A, B und C abgebaut werden kann, wobei dies durch Anbringen von Steuermitteln direkt ausserhalb der Peripherie l4 dieses Hilfsförderrades 4ʺ in gesteuerter Weise erfolgen kann.It was found that the arrangement of a so-called auxiliary conveyor wheel 4ʺ on the back of the
Ueblicherweise ist der aus den Räumen A, B und C auf das Laufrad wirkende Druck grösser als der Druck auf der Ansaug- bzw. Vorderseite des Laufrades 4, so dass ohne besondere Vorkehren das Laufrad in Ansaugrichtung gedrückt würde. Dies sollte aber vermieden werden.Usually, the pressure acting on the impeller from rooms A, B and C is greater than the pressure on the suction or front side of the
Durch das Hilfsförderrad 4ʺ, welches üblicherweise mit dem eigentlichen Pumpenlaufrad 4 aus einem Stück besteht, wird nun aber der Druck auf der Laufradrückseite abgebaut und dadurch die Axialbewegung des Laufrades 4 in Richtung Ansaug aufgehalten. Damit nun aber keine entgegengesetzte Bewegung des Laufrades 4 erfolgt, d.h. eine Verschiebung in Richtung der Antriebsseite, wird die Fördermenge des Hilfsförderrades 4ʺ gesteuert:By means of the
Dies kann in einfacher Weise über Steuerschlitz l5 im Gehäuse l direkt gegenüber den Auslassöffnungen der Förderkanäle l6 des Hilfsförderrades 4ʺ erfolgen, indem diese Schlitze l5 die Auslassöffnungen offen lassen (mehr oder weniger stark), was z.B. bei nach links, d.h. zur Ansaugseite verschobenem Laufrad 4 der Fall ist, bzw. geschlossen halten (mehr oder weniger stark), was z.B. bis nach rechts, d.h. zur Antriebsseite verschobenem Laufrad 4 der Fall ist. Damit wird durch den sich in den Räumen A, B und C ab- bzw. aufbauenden Druck das Laufrad zwischen den Endanschlägen 9,l0 zum Pendeln gebracht (ohne die Anschläge zu berühren).This can be done in a simple manner via control slot l5 in the housing l directly opposite the outlet openings of the delivery channels l6 of the auxiliary conveyor wheel 4ʺ are made by these slots l5 leaving the outlet openings open (more or less strong), which is the case, for example, with the
Damit ein Druckaufbau in den Räumen auf der Laufradrückseite gewährleistet ist, sind zwischen dem Druckraum 8 der Pumpe und dem Antriebsraum A vorzugsweise eine oder mehrere Bohrungen l7 vorgesehen.In order to ensure pressure build-up in the spaces on the rear of the impeller, one or
Das Hilfsförderrad 4ʺ kann so ausgebildet sein, dass aus den verschiedenen Räumen A, B und C jeweils Einlassöffnungen l8, l9 bzw. 20 zu den einzelnen Förderkanälen l6 des Hilfsförderrades 4ʺ vorgesehen werden, ober bei einer anderen Bauweise, dass für jeden Raum A, B und C eine Anzahl eigene Förderkanäle (z.B. 2l für Raum C bei der unteren Variante) vorgesehen werden. Es ist auch eine gemischte Bauweise denkbar.The auxiliary conveyor wheel 4ʺ can be designed such that from the different rooms A, B and
Bei der Bauweise nach der unteren Variante von Fig. l, d.h. wenn z.B. der innere, d.h. der Nabenraum C eigene Förderkanäle 2l aufweist, kann z.B. eine Spülflüssigkeit über eine Leitung 22 und eine Bohrung 23 im Lagerzapfen 3 in den Raum C gefördert werden, um von dort über die Förderkanäle 2l des Hilfsförderrades 4ʺ nicht in den Druckraum 8 der Pumpe, sondern in den Raum A (und von hier in den Raum B) gefördert zu werden. Damit kann auf einfache Weise eine ausgezeichnete Reinigung der Pumpe erfolgen. Eine Spül- oder Reinigungsflüssigkeit könnte allerdings auch direkt, z.B. über einen Einlass 24, in den Raum A eingebracht werden.In the construction according to the lower variant of FIG. 1, ie if, for example, the inner, ie the hub space C has its own conveying channels 2l, for example a rinsing liquid can be conveyed into the space C via a
Die Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen rein schematisch, wie die Steuerung der Förderleistung des Hilfsförderrades 4ʺ über Steuerschlitze am Gehäuse, gegenüber den Förderkanälen des Hilfsförderrades erfolgt. In Fig. 2 sind die Förderkanäle abgedeckt und der Druck im Raum A wird ansteigen, während Fig. 3 die Situation bei über die Steuerschlitze offenen Förderkanälen zeigt, in welcher der Druck im Raum A sinkt.2 and 3 show purely schematically how the control of the delivery rate of the auxiliary feed wheel 4ʺ via control slots on the housing, relative to the feed channels of the auxiliary feed wheel. In Fig. 2, the delivery channels are covered and the pressure in room A will increase, while Fig. 3 shows the situation with delivery channels open via the control slots, in which the pressure in room A decreases.
Fig. 4 schliesslich zeigt rein schematisch eine Draufsicht auf die Laufradrückseite, d.h. auf das Hilfsförderrad, mit verschiedenen Einlassöffnungen in die Förderkanäle.Fig. 4 finally shows a purely schematic plan view of the rear of the impeller, i.e. on the auxiliary feed wheel, with different inlet openings in the feed channels.
