Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor arranged by a compressed air piston motor with a rinsing chamber arranged above the pump below and at a distance above this, and with a control device for the motor.
  • Such motor-pump combinations are often used to generate higher liquid pressures with a comparatively low air pressure. They are used to operate grease guns, clamping hydraulics and the like.
  • a particularly important area of application is the generation of pressure for hydrostatically operating paint spraying devices, so-called “airless” spraying devices, in which pressures of 30 to 300 bar are required, depending on the material to be sprayed and the use of additional air (so-called “airless plus” process).
  • a free space (lantern space) is provided between the top of the flushing chamber, which is essentially defined by the fill level, in which the coupling can reciprocate and into which the motor piston rod can be immersed, without using detergent To come into contact.
  • the control device for the engine is arranged laterally next to its cylinder. This control device can only be operated pneumatically using end stop valves. Because of the lateral projection, a larger footprint is required. Sound insulation creates difficulties.
  • control device is arranged above the engine. There it can be actuated mechanically by the engine piston if a corresponding coupling bushing is provided.
  • the cross section specified by the air motor does not need to be significantly exceeded.
  • the space surrounding the control device can be used as a relaxation room for the purpose of sound absorption.
  • the overall height of the unit increases by the height of the control device.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a liquid piston pump which is driven by a compressed air piston motor and which has smaller overall dimensions.
  • control device between the rinsing chamber and the engine is arranged radially outside the engine piston rod leading to the pump.
  • the distance between the rinsing chamber and the motor required for units with a rinsing chamber is used to accommodate the control device. This does not require an increase in the cross-section or an increase in the overall height. A mechanical actuation of the control device is possible directly through the engine piston rod; there is no need for an additional coupling element that goes outwards. Since the necessary distance between the rinsing chamber and the motor, which is dependent on the stroke, can be used for accommodating the control device, there is a relatively large relaxation space and thus good sound absorption.
  • control device can have a height that is at least equal to the maximum lifting height of the motor. This leads to the desired full utilization of the necessary distance. No stroke reduction gears are required to operate the control device. And there is a large relaxation room.
  • control device and the cylinder of the motor are surrounded by a common cylindrical wall.
  • Motor and control device are offered in a compact, smooth design, which is optically beautiful and technically expedient. Since the common wall also surrounds the cylinder of the engine, the interior serving as a relaxation space is enlarged.
  • the common cylindrical wall can also be permeable to air. As a result, the exhaust air is discharged to the outside over a large area, as a result of which the noise is reduced again.
  • the motor piston rod is surrounded by a control sleeve, which is displaceable at the stroke ends by a driver on the piston rod by a limited distance, and that the control sleeve takes along a flat slide bearing against a slide seat.
  • control housing which is attached to the engine at its upper end face, carries an end wall at its lower end face, has an interior space connected to the compressed air supply line, which is additionally limited by the control sleeve, the flat slide valve and the slide seat, and outside is surrounded by a room for extracting the exhaust air.
  • the compressed air and the exhaust air are separated from each other in a simple manner.
  • flushing chamber at the top and the cylinder of the motor are each closed off by a fixed wall, between which the control device is located. These solid walls reduce noise transmission through structure-borne noise.
  • the drip pan can be formed in particular by the lower end wall of the control device.
  • a liquid piston pump 1 is illustrated below, which with its pump piston 2 indicated by dashed lines in each case draws in liquid at the inlet 3 and releases it under high pressure at the outlet 4. It is driven by a compressed air motor 5 with a piston 6 shown in dashed lines. Its piston rod 7 is connected to the pump piston 2 via a coupling 7a. Above the pump 1 there is a rinsing chamber 8, which is filled with a detergent and cleans and lubricates the pump piston 2 or the associated piston rod 2a, which emerges from the pump on each stroke.
  • the piston rod 2a passes through a pump seal, not shown, at the upper end of the piston pump 1, the piston rod 7 passes through an engine seal, not shown in FIG. 1, at the lower end of the compressed air motor 5.
  • a distance A is required between the rinsing chamber 8 and the engine 5, which must be at least large enough that the coupling 7a is neither immersed in the engine seal nor in the pump seal and no paint residues can settle on the engine piston rod 7.
  • this distance is controlled by a control device 9 filled in for the engine 5. It has an inlet connection 10 for the compressed air, while the outlet 11 of the exhaust air here takes place over the entire circumference, but alternatively it can also take place at a defined point in order to be able to direct the exhaust air into an adjoining room or into the open.
  • the compressed air piston motor 5 has an upper end wall 12 and a lower end wall 13, which are clamped together by means of screws 15 with the interposition of a hollow cylinder 14.
  • the piston 6 provided with a circumferential seal 17 can be moved back and forth.
  • This is provided with a piston rod 7 which passes through a seal 18 and consists of an upper part 19 and a lower part 20 which are connected to one another and to the piston 6 by a screw 21.
  • the control device 9 has a control housing 22, the upper end face of which bears against the fixed wall 13 of the motor with the interposition of a seal 23 and is fastened there by screws 24.
  • the lower end wall carries an end wall 25 and can be connected to an upper fixed wall 26 of the washing chamber 8, indicated by dashed lines, by means of threaded bolts.
  • the piston rod 7 is surrounded by a control sleeve 27 which can be taken back and forth by a driver 28 between the two rod sections 19 and 20 shortly before reaching the end positions of the stroke.
  • the control sleeve has corresponding stops 29 and 30.
  • a flat slide 31, which interacts with a slide seat 32, can be taken from the control sleeve 27.
  • the slide seat 32 has channels 33 and 34, each of which reverses the working air cause in spaces 35 and 36 above and below the piston 6.
  • Compressed air supplied via the connecting piece 10 therefore first enters an interior space 37 of the control housing 22, from which it reaches the space 36, so that the piston 6 is pressed upward.
  • the displaced air passes from room 35 into a room 38 inside the flat slide valve 31 and then through a bore 39 into a relaxation room 40 outside the control housing 22.
  • a preferably conical distributor body 41 can achieve a distribution of the exhaust air that is as uniform as possible.
  • a continuous cylindrical wall 42 made of air-permeable material surrounds the cylinder 16 and the control device 9.
  • the expansion space 5 thus also extends into the annular space between the hollow cylinder 14 and the cylindrical wall 42. Exhaust air can escape all the way out of this wall 42 over the entire height.
  • a defined point can also be provided for the outlet, for example in order to discharge the exhaust air via a line.
  • the lower end wall 25 is designed as a condensate collecting trough and is provided with a drain hole 43 for condensate removal.
  • a drain line can be connected to this, for example.
  • the basic structure of the control device is known from the diaphragm pump 001.085-DP from Kopperschmidt-Mueller GmbH & Co. KG in Bielefeld.
  • control device 9 can also have a different shape, as is known from the prior art, provided there is space for the piston rod 7.
