Definitions

  • the invention relates to a double-acting bellows pump for gases and / or liquids, in particular aggressive and / or abrasive media, with two cylinder spaces arranged one above the other, each of which has a bellows, which at one end is connected to an end wall of the ⁇ -hitting cylinder space is hermetically sealed and is closed at its other end by means of a floor, is divided into an exterior space and an interior space enclosed by the relevant bellows; that the Faltenbal floors by a through at least one seal of the
  • respective cylinder chamber guided piston rod are mechanically coupled to each other, so that at the same time a bellows sucks in and a bellows promotes that the spaces adjoining the seal or seals are connected to supply and discharge lines for a pressure medium and that
  • Such a double-acting 30 bellows pump is known from FR-PS 13 15 900, which serves for the continuous delivery or for increasing the pressure of a fluid.
  • This known pump has two bellows which are arranged standing one above the other in a respective cylinder space. which alternately carry out a suction and pressure stroke, the medium to be pumped being inside and the driving pressure medium being outside the bellows.
  • a disadvantage of this known pump is that when liquids are conveyed, automatic ventilation on the The conveying medium side is basically not possible with this arrangement of the bellows.
  • automatic venting is absolutely necessary for the conveyance of most liquid media, since otherwise a perfect ⁇ function of the pump cannot be guaranteed.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a double-acting bellows pump in such a way that it is automatically vented during operation so that the air dissolved in the medium can escape continuously and can perform large strokes and has a high number of load cycles.
  • the supply and discharge lines must be able to be arranged at the highest point of the respective bellows. This is possible with the pump according to the invention.
  • the bellows In contrast to the known pump, the bellows, the interior of which directly adjoins the seal or seals, are subjected to an internal overpressure 3 ⁇ according to the invention.
  • bellows stressed in this way are not kink-resistant in the case of internal overpressure - in contrast to the bellows loaded with external overpressure according to the aforementioned prior art - they are therefore unusable for use in a pump. For this reason, it is one play-free central guidance of the bellows on which the internal pressure is applied is absolutely necessary on the pressure medium side.
  • the supported bellows can be very thin-walled, i.e. very flexible, and have a high load change rate.
  • the 10 stroke end positions in both directions should not be exceeded in order not to destroy the bellows designed for a low differential pressure.
  • the end position can be determined either by mechanical or electrical sensors, which in most cases are also available in encapsulated, highly pressure-resistant versions.
  • the compressed air or hydraulic flow supplied by the pressure unit is switched over by a 4/2-way valve. This prevents an inadmissible increase in the differential pressure between the pressure and delivery medium and the functions of the pressure and suction space are interchanged.
  • the bellows pump according to the invention can be designed as a simple pump construction that the
  • the bellows can be driven by an existing central compressed air supply or by a central hydraulic system.
  • a central hydraulic system with low-viscosity hydraulic fluids is the most economical pressure failure, which can be carried out with centrifugal pumps up to the highest pressures and large delivery quantities in continuous operation with high efficiency and low system costs.
  • centrifugal pumps achieve a service life of approximately 50,000 hours in continuous operation until the first maintenance, which is generally limited to changing a mechanical seal.
  • the pump according to the invention can also be designed such that the bellows is supported on at least one guide element via at least one support ring. Because of the support rings, the bellows are not subject to wear, since the wear is only absorbed by the support rings, which are supported on one or more guide elements.
  • the pump according to the invention can also be designed such that the support ring is slotted and is self-tightening on at least one fold of the bellows in question and that the guide element consists of a cylindrical tube that is slit or perforated in the longitudinal direction at least once .
  • the slotted support ring is particularly simple to manufacture and can not be lost.
  • the guide element can be produced particularly easily from a cylindrical tube which is provided with slots or perforations distributed around the circumference in order to prevent pressure from building up between the support rings.
  • the pump according to the invention can also be designed such that the supply and discharge of the pressure medium of the interior lying in the upper cylinder space through a hollow bore Piston rod takes place, the connection being made through the hollow piston rod to the interior through an axial bore and through radial bores at the highest point of the interior and between the two seals.
  • This arrangement enables automatic venting in a simple manner even if an interior space directly adjoins the seal or seals in the cylinder spaces.
  • the pump according to the invention can also be designed in such a way that the bellows consist of at least two partitions lying one on top of the other.
  • a double-walled or multi-walled design of the bellows allows great elasticity and at the same time great flexural rigidity (principle of leaf spring), which results in a larger usable displacement volume of the bellows.
  • Another advantage of a multi-layer bellows, in particular steel bellows, is the greater safety in the event of a leak. As a rule, not all partitions will leak at the same time, but the leak from an outer partition will begin.
  • the pump according to the invention can also be designed such that the space or spaces between the partitions are or are connected to the environment outside the cylinder spaces, the space or spaces serving as a derivation for a leakage report in the event of bellows breakage .
  • the pressure medium or the pumping medium enters the intermediate space or the intermediate spaces between the partition walls and from there to the outside in order to either trigger an alarm or to stop the pump.
  • the leakage message becomes active before the delivery medium and pressure medium are mixed.
  • the pump according to the invention can also be designed such that there is an inert liquid film between the partition walls of the bellows, which in the event of a bellows break transmits the leakage message to the outside.
  • Such an inert liquid film which is in communication with the environment outside the pump housing, enables a very quick response in the event of a bellows wall rupture, so that there is the possibility of a leakage message, long before the bellows is sealed overall becomes.
  • the pump according to the invention can also be designed such that a hydraulic accumulator smoothing the pulsations present in the delivery flow is provided at the pump outlet.
  • the pulsations caused by the stroke reversal are considerably smaller than in comparable piston pumps due to the extremely light moving masses, but must be reduced even further for most applications. 5
  • the pump according to the invention can also be designed such that the hydraulic accumulator consists of a bellows located in a cylinder chamber, which is hermetically sealed at one end to an end wall of the cylinder chamber and is closed at the other end by means of a base, and that the cylinder space is divided into an inner space enclosed by the bellows and an outer space, the inner or outer space being filled with an inert compressed gas and the outer or inner space being filled with the medium to be conveyed.
  • a bellows with a base is firmly clamped on the vessel lid, the bellows oscillating without contact and thereby compensating for fluctuations in the flow rate.
  • This bellows hydraulic accumulator has the same advantages as the bellows pump and is particularly suitable for aggressive abrasive fluids which, when using diaphragm hydraulic accumulators with plastic diaphragms, cause problems with regard to the service life.
  • FIG. 1 shows a pump in which an outer space in the upper cylinder space and an inner space directly adjoins the seals in the lower cylinder space
  • FIG. 2 shows a pump in which an interior space directly adjoins the seals in the two cylinder spaces.
  • the pump has a suction line 14 for the medium to be conveyed, which is connected to an upper interior 17 and a lower exterior 18 via an automatic check valve 15, 16.
  • the pump has a pressure line 19 for the medium to be pumped, which is also connected to the upper interior 17 and the lower exterior 18 via an automatic check valve 20, 21.
  • the bellows 7, 8 are fastened to the end walls 9, 10 via flanges 22, 23 and to the bottoms 11, 12 by means of flanges 24, 25 by screws. If steel bellows are used, the flanges 24, 25 will usually be replaced by a welded construction.
  • the piston rod 13 which is only subjected to tensile forces resulting from the suction force of the pump, is correspondingly light in construction and has two piston rod guides 26,27 mounted and each sealed by one of the seals 5,6 between the upper outer space 2 and the lower inner space 4.
  • control elements 28, 29 thus prevent the bellows 7,8 from moving beyond the permissible stroke and thus also impermissibly high differential pressures between the interior spaces 4.17 and the exterior spaces 2.18 of the bellows 7.8 at the stroke end points.
  • the control elements 28, 29 serve to reverse the direction of movement and thus to interchange the suction and pressure functions of the two bellows 7, 8.
  • the bellows 8 in the lower cylinder chamber 3 is subjected to an internal overpressure. It is placed over three slotted support rings 33, 34, 35, each of which is placed radially from the inside on a fold of the bellows 8, on a guide element 36 which is arranged concentrically to the bellows 8 and which is attached to the end wall 10 of the lower cylinder chamber 3 is to be led.
  • the guide element 36 consists of a four-times slotted cylinder tube, which prevents the pressure medium from building up between the support rings.
  • FIG. 2 shows a pump in which an interior space 4.37 in each of the two cylinder spaces 1.3 directly adjoins the seals 5.6.
  • both bellows 7, 8 are pressurized with internal pressure and are therefore subject to the risk of kinking.
  • both bellows 7, 8 are equipped with the support rings 33, 34, 35, 38, 39, 40 and with the corresponding guide elements 36, 41, which are each attached to the end wall 10, 42.
  • a hollow-bored piston rod 43 is provided, since the pressure medium has to be supplied to or removed from the bellows 7 arranged in the upper cylinder chamber 1 via the inlet and outlet 44 through the bores 45, 46, 47 in the piston rod 43 to enable automatic ventilation at the level of the bellows base 48.
