Definitions

  • the invention relates to a diaphragm pump, in particular for plants in biological process technology, food technology and medical technology.
  • a disadvantage of the previously described meterable feed devices for correction agents has been their comparatively low delivery accuracy, which also has a negative effect on the implementation which affects biological processes and which can only be compensated for by a comparatively complex, additionally carried out volume flow measurement.
  • connection line between the reaction container and the template container for the correction agent which is connected downstream of the dosing device, is usually sterilized in such a way that the steam is fed into the connection line at the uppermost point of the line, in the vicinity of the reaction container, and the latter then flows through against the conveying direction of the correction medium following the natural gradient, the condensate formed being discharged at the lowest point of the arrangement.
  • the delivery direction is predetermined in diaphragm pumps of the generic type due to self-closing inlet and outlet valves, the condensate drain would be blocked during the sterilization process and such a successful sterilization of the arrangement would be impossible if such a pump were used.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to design a diaphragm pump of the generic type in such a way that it can be completely sterilized by a sterilization process in which the superheated steam used for this process flows through the pump in the opposite direction to the delivery direction for the medium to be metered.
  • FIG. 1 shows a reaction container 1 for carrying out biotechnological processes, to which a liquid correction agent located in a storage container 3 can be added via a connecting line 2.
  • the correction agent is conveyed and metered via a diaphragm pump 4.
  • a feed point for superheated steam is provided in the vicinity of the reaction container 1. In the course of the sterilization, this flows through the connecting line 2 in a direction which is opposite to the conveying direction of the correction means - indicated by solid arrows - and which is indicated in the figure by dashed arrows.
  • the resulting condensate passes through a further branching of the connecting line 2 into a collecting container 5.
  • the conveyance of the correction agent and the feeding and forwarding of the steam are controlled via a total of four valves 6 to 9, which are arranged in the different branches of the connecting line and of which there are two in the open and two in the closed state.
  • the illustration in FIG. 2 shows the diaphragm pump 4 in a vertically sectioned illustration in an operating state such as is provided for carrying out the sterilization process.
  • the membrane pump 4 consists of a pump head 10 and a drive housing 11, between which a membrane 12 is arranged.
  • the latter can be pneumatic, hydraulic or else can also be operated mechanically.
  • cylindrical recesses 13 and 14 are made, which can be closed by likewise cylindrical inserts 15 and 16 provided with a flange.
  • the inserts 15 and 16 are provided with central through bores 17 and 18, which are coupled to the connecting line 2 on the outside of the inserts 15 and 16 via pipe connecting elements 19 and 20, and which are on the inside of the inserts 15 and 16, respectively open into a self-locking or self-closing outlet valve 21 or inlet valve 22 arranged there.
  • the valves 21 and 22 are arranged in such a way that their opening direction corresponds to the flow direction of the correction means indicated by the solid arrows in the figure.
  • a bore 26 and 27 running perpendicular to the conveying channel 23 and 24 also leads into the inlet and outlet area of the two valves 21 and 22, while the area with an enlarged diameter Delivery channels 23 and 24 each have a second bore 28 and 29, which runs parallel to the first bore, extends directly into the annular space formed by the recesses 13 and 14 and the associated insert 15 and 16, respectively.
  • a further bore 30 or 31 leads from this annulus into the through bore 17 or 18.
  • the bores 28 and 30 or 29 and 31 form bypass lines for the outlet valve 21 and the inlet valve 22 together with the respectively associated enlarged regions of the delivery channels 23 and 24.
  • These bypass lines are, according to the principle of the corner valve , can be shut off via valve spindles 32 to 35, which are respectively arranged in the extension of the delivery channels 23 and 24 and at the height of the bores 30 and 31 and which are designed as piston seat valves in the arrangement shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the front part of the valve spindles 32 to 35 has a region of reduced diameter, whereby an annular space is created between this region of the spindle and the associated bore when the valve spindles are open.
  • the stroke of the valve spindles 32 to 35 is limited in the exemplary embodiment shown here by a bracket 36.
  • the inserts 15 and 16 are sealed by means of outer sealing O-rings 37 and 38, below which the inserts for forming the annular spaces already mentioned, into which the bores 30 and 31 open, are reduced in diameter.
  • the inserts 15 and 16 are fixed by means of dowel bolts 39 and 40, the attachment to the pump head 10 by means of bolts 41 and 42.
  • valve spindles 32 to 35 assume the closed position shown in FIG. 3 and thus shut off the bypass lines.
  • the liquid correction agent is conveyed from the supply container 3 into the reaction container 1 by means of the pressurized membrane 12 via the inlet valve 22, the delivery channel 24, the displacement chamber 25, the delivery channel 23 and the outlet valve.
  • valve spindles 32 to 35 are opened so that the superheated steam arriving via the connecting line 2 flows through the bore 30 into the annular space surrounding the outlet valve 21 and thereby heats the valve.
  • the latter is important because any condensate forming in this valve cannot flow out due to the valve's closing direction.
  • the hot steam passes through the bore 28 into the further pump areas in contact with the product, i.e. the delivery channels 23 and 24, the displacement chamber 25 and, via the second bypass line, into the annular space surrounding the inlet valve 22.
  • the steam and the condensate formed are discharged via the bore 18 and the adjoining part of the connecting line 2 into the collecting container 5 serving as a condensate drain.
  • valve spindles 132 and 133 are designed in this case as cone seat valves and on the other hand in that the outlet valve 121 is integrated in the insert 115.
  • the inlet area of the pump, not shown here, is constructed identically. The mode of operation of this pump corresponds entirely to that of the arrangement according to FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • valve spindles 232 and 235 are offset by 90 ° from the valve spindles 233 and 234, as are the bores in the inserts 215 and 216 (the latter not shown in the figure). This arrangement facilitates the attachment of a drive for external control of the valve spindles.
