Abstract
The invention relates to a displacer pump (1) comprising a pump housing with a middle part (2) in which a pump chamber is defined and to which an inlet (3) and an outlet (6) are connected and with two bearing (14,15) boxes which are arranged on the sides against the middle part and in which bearings are mounted defining two parallel axes, wherein mounted in the bearings are bushes (16,17) with internal shaft engaging means (23) which slidably receive shafts (10,11) provided with external shaft engaging means (24) which shafts carry mutually co-acting displacer bodies (8,9) in the pump chamber (2).
Description
- The invention relates to a displacer pump of the type with displacer bodies rotating in opposing directions in one pump chamber. Pumps of this type have been commercially available from applicant for years for pumping liquid manure, sewage sludge and the like.
- The displacer bodies are exposed to heavy loads during operation and have to be regularly replaced due to wear.
- The invention now has for its object to provide a displacer pump of the stated type which is easy to maintain.
- The displacer pump according to the invention comprises a pump housing with a middle part in which a pump chamber is defined and to which an inlet and an outlet are connected and with two bearing boxes which are arranged on the sides against the middle part and in which bearings are mounted which define two parallel axes, wherein mounted in the bearings are bushes with internal shaft engaging means which slidably receive shafts provided with external shaft engaging means, which shafts carry mutually co-acting displacer bodies in the pump chamber. The displacer bodies can hereby be exchanged in simple manner. Only one of the bearing boxes need be removed in order to be able to reach the displacer bodies and to be able to remove them with their shafts. The inlet and outlet connection pipes can remain fitted. To replace the displacer bodies in the known displacer pumps the complete pump has to be dismantled. This leads to undesired operational stoppages and relatively high labour costs.
- A favourable embodiment of the shaft engaging means for the shafts is characterized in claim 2.
- According to a further development the step from claim 3 is applied. The complete bearing box with the bearings and bushes mounted therein can be replaced as part of an overhaul. Displacer pumps of the present sort are frequently supplied in a series, wherein the pump capacity increases with the width of the displacer bodies. The side boxes can therein be the same for each type in the series.
- The step from claim 4 is preferably applied. Although in some embodiments of displacer pumps of the present type the displacer bodies drive each other the type wherein the shafts of the displacer bodies are mutually coupled by gear wheels has the advantage that a forced correct relative angular position of the displacer bodies is ensured. The side box with bushes mutually coupled by means of gears can also be embodied as an independent construction part and be simply exchangeable.
- The step from claim 5 achieves that the pump can be directly coupled to a drive source, for example a power take-off of an agricultural tractor. When both bushes of a bearing box carry a fixed shaft stump, the pump can operate in two directions, in accordance with which of the two shaft stumps is used as drive shaft.
- A good construction wherein the bushes are mounted in reliable manner can be seen in claim 6. Because the shafts are slidably received in the bush they can have just sufficient tolerance to absorb small coaxial variations of the bushes of the bearing boxes lying in one line on either side of the pump.
- The invention is elucidated in the following description with reference to the embodiment shown in the figures.
- Fig. 1 shows a partially broken away perspective view with dismantled parts of a preferred embodiment of the displacer pump according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 shows a partially broken away side view of a displacer pump according to another embodiment.
- The displacer pump 1 shown in fig. 1 comprises a pump housing consisting of a middle part 2 and two
bearing boxes - Between the top and bottom shell 4, 5 and the inlet and outlet is defined a pump chamber in which two displacer bodies 8, 9 rotate in mutually opposing directions during operation.
- The displacer bodies 8, 9 are mounted on or form an entity with the respective shafts 10 and 11 which are provided with a spline shaft 24. The middle part 2 of the pump housing is closed on either side by
wear plates 12, 13. The displacer bodies 8, 9 lie laterally sealing against theseplates 12, 13. - Two
bushes bearing box 14. The bearing box is assembled from twobox parts bush bush 17 are designated by 21 and 22. Thebush 16 is mounted in the same way. Thebox parts bolts 20. - Fixedly connected to the
bushes respective gear wheels bushes - The
bushes splines 23 which co-act with the splines 24 on the shafts 10, 11. It will be apparent from fig. 1 that thebearing box 14 can be mounted simply against the middle part wherein the ends of the shafts 10, 11 are received in thebushes - The
bearing box 15 is constructed substantially in the same manner as thebearing box 14. Thebushes bearing bush 26 are designated by 28 and 29. In this embodiment thebushes - The middle part 2 and the two
bearing boxes whole using bolts 30. Welded fixedly into thebushes shaft stumps 25 which can for example be coupled to the power take-off of a tractor. For normal pump operation one of the twoshaft stumps 25 will be driven. For reverse suction out of the outlet theother shaft stump 25 can be driven. - In the operational state fixed pipes can be connected to the inlet and the outlet of the pump 1. A drive motor can therein also be in permanent engagement with one of the
shaft stumps 25. - The displacer bodies 9 can nevertheless be very simply and quickly exchanged, for example when they are worn or damaged. Only the
bolts 30 with which thebearing box 15 is mounted against the middle part 2 need be released and thebearing box 15 removed in its entirety. Thewear plate 13 can thereafter be taken off and the displacer bodies 9 together with their shafts 10, 11 can simply be pulled to the right as seen in fig. 1 out of the pump chamber. New displacer bodies can then be pushed into the pump chamber, wherein the shafts 10, 11 are thereafter pushed into thebushes box 14, following which thewear plate 13 is placed in position and thebearing box 15 again mounted using the associatedbolts 30. - In the embodiment shown the top shell 4 and the bottom shell 5 can also be simply exchanged in the case of damage. When for example the top shell 4 is damaged because a hard object has found its way into the pump, the
bolts 30 gripping into the top shell 4 are wholly released and theother bolts 30 are slightly loosened. The bolts with which the top shell 4 is joined to the inlet 3 and outlet 6 are removed. The top shell 4 can then be simply taken out upwardly. The other parts of the pump remain in place. A new top shell 4 can be mounted again quickly in reverse sequence. - As noted, the
bearing boxes - The displacer pump according to the invention can be constructed in different capacities from a number of standard elements. The greater the pump capacity desired the more shells 4, 5 can be mounted adjacent each other, and correspondingly wider displacer bodies 8, 9 or a number of displacer bodies 8, 9 on a correspondingly longer shaft 10, 11 are employed.
- Fig. 2 shows this principle. The
pump 35 shown therein comprises amiddle part 36 assembled from a number ofelements element elements elements gear wheels 43. The torsion in the shafts can hereby be limited. Thebearing box 40 can be of the same type as thebearing box 14 of fig. 1, that is, provided withgear wheels 42 and shaft stumps. - Instead of a spline shaft as shown in the figures, key ways for example with separate keys or non-round, for instance square or hexagonal, shafts and bushes can be applied as shaft engaging means.
