Definitions

  • the invention relates to a piston diaphragm pump for the metered delivery of liquids, in particular surfactants, wetting agents or the like , Peripherally clamped in the pump housing and with one side facing the pump suction chamber pump membrane, which is penetrated centrally by the pump piston provided with a continuous longitudinal bore connecting the pressure chamber with the suction chamber and a piston valve installed therein.
  • a piston diaphragm pump of the above type is known from DE-OS 28 31 437. While the respective suction of the liquid into the suction chamber takes place via the flexible membrane, the liquid to be dosed is displaced out of the pressure chamber solely by the one firmly connected to the membrane Pump piston, which is sealingly guided in the pump tube surrounding the pressure chamber. This not only requires an appropriate seal, but can also cause the pump piston to stick if the metering liquid dries up after long periods of inactivity.
  • the pump piston has a substantially smaller effective cross-section than the pump diaphragm and both work with the same stroke height due to their fixed connection on both sides, less liquid is always displaced out of the pump pressure chamber during the respective delivery stroke than liquid is sucked in via the membrane into the suction chamber .
  • the suction chamber must be connected to the liquid storage container via a special liquid line which can be shut off by a non-return valve in order to return the excess amount of liquid conveyed into the suction chamber during the respective return stroke of the pump membrane back into the storage container.
  • Another disadvantage of the known pump is that the pump piston, because of its comparatively small delivery cross-section and thus ultimately also the membrane, has to perform comparatively large stroke movements in order to be able to deliver a certain amount of liquid in a metered manner.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving and perfecting a piston diaphragm pump of the type mentioned at the outset in that it does not have the abovementioned shortcomings, rather manages with shorter pump strokes to convey comparable amounts of liquid, does not require a sealed guidance of the pump piston in the pump tube and therefore also prevents the piston from seizing after a long period of inactivity.
  • this object is achieved according to the invention in that the working space located on the side of the pump diaphragm facing away from the suction space serves as an additional pump pressure space, which has transverse channels in the pump piston behind the piston valve with the piston leading to the pump tube pressure space. Longitudinal bore is constantly connected.
  • the piston valve is expediently provided in the immediate vicinity of the pump piston end penetrating the pump membrane and the transverse channels immediately behind it. This results in a compact design in the part of the pump on the pressure chamber side, in particular if the pump housing is constricted in a funnel shape towards the pump pipe in its area surrounding the transverse channels and the membrane pressure chamber.
  • a pump piston stop provided with a seal is advantageously provided in the housing part surrounding the pump suction chamber, which acts in the region of the stop position of the pump piston caused by the return spring as a safety valve separating the pressure chamber from the suction chamber.
  • the invention also provides that a rectifier converting its supply current into pulsating direct current is installed in the current supply line to the magnetic coil , which is preferably integrated in the pump housing part surrounding the electromagnetic coil. This ensures a quiet and energy-saving diaphragm pump drive via the pump piston, which acts as an electrical anchor. It goes without saying that the switching on and switching off of the electro-magnetic diaphragm drive is generally controlled by a pulse generator which is built into the consumer line or container to be charged with the liquid to be dosed and which responds to the metering liquid requirement present here in each case.
  • the piston diaphragm pump shown has a multiply subdivided pump housing 1, which is divided into an upper suction region 1 'and a lower pressure region 1' ', which also contains the pump drive, by the pump diaphragm 2 clamped in its circumference in the housing.
  • the suction chamber 4 In the suction area 1 'is between the housing part 3 and the membrane 2, the suction chamber 4. This is via the suction valve consisting of the spring 5, the valve ball 6 and the associated seal 7 via the connecting piece 8 and a feed line to be attached to it, with a not shown Connect the metering liquid reservoir. Furthermore, the stroke adjustment screw 9, which is adjustably mounted therein, is located in the upper housing part 3. It is guided in a sealed manner with respect to the housing part 3 via the O-ring 10. Furthermore, the stroke adjustment screw 9 has a front end 9 'with a diameter which, together with the O-ring 11 embedded therein, acts both as a pump piston stop and in cooperation with the facing pump piston end as a safety valve, as will be described in more detail below.
  • the pump tube 13 which surrounds the pump pressure chamber 12 and which is firmly connected at its upper end to the middle housing part 14.
  • This housing part 14 is funnel-shaped towards the pump tube 13 narrowed. It encloses with the pump membrane 2 an additional pump pressure chamber 12 'which is in constant communication with the above-mentioned pressure chamber 12 enclosed by the tube 13.
  • the pump piston 15 which is made of soft iron, is guided such that it can be moved.
  • This pump piston is firmly connected at its upper end 15 'to the membrane 2, which is penetrated centrally by it.
  • the bushing 16 which is to be screwed onto the pump piston end 15 'and which projects above the piston end 15' and, in the illustrated rest position of the pump piston 15, engages over the front end 9 'and the O-ring seal 11 of the stroke adjustment screw 9 thereon and thus acts as a safety valve .
  • the pump piston 15 is under the action of the return spring 17, which tries to keep it in the rest position shown.
  • the piston 15 is further provided with a continuous longitudinal bore 18, at the upper end in the immediate vicinity of the membrane 2, the piston valve consisting of the valve ball 19 and the return spring 20 is installed.
  • the abutment piece 21 installed in the longitudinal bore 18 of the piston 15 serves to support the two springs 17 and 20.
  • the transverse channels 22 are incorporated in the piston, via which the diaphragm pressure chamber 12 'with the longitudinal bore 18 and thus also with the pressure chamber 12 is constantly connected.
  • the rooms 12 and 12 'thus form a common, comparatively large-volume pump pressure chamber.
  • the pump pressure chamber 12 is closed on the underside by the closure piece 23, which is firmly connected to the pump tube 13 and which contains the pump pressure valve consisting of the spring 24 and the valve ball 25, which shut off or open the pressure line channel 26 located in the closure piece 23 leading to the consumer allowed.
  • the magnet coil 27 is arranged, which, with appropriate current excitation, allows the pump piston 15 to be driven against the action of the return spring 17 acting on it for the respective medium delivery.
  • the magnetic coil 27 is covered by the plastic jacket 28 and this in turn is enclosed by the housing part 29 on which the two power line connections 30 are located on the outside.
  • a known rectifier (not shown) is accommodated in the housing 29, which converts the supply current to the solenoid 27 into pulsating direct current.
  • the solenoid 27 is energized by a pulse generator (not shown) that is present in the consumer area and monitors the metering liquid requirement, the pump piston 15 and the diaphragm 2 firmly connected to it are moved downwards in the drawing, thereby firstly metering liquid from the common pressure chamber 12, 12 'is fed into the consumer line via the pressure valve 25, while on the other hand through the membrane 2 the suction chamber 4 is refilled with the corresponding metering liquid quantity via the then opening suction valve 6.
  • the piston valve 19 is closed during the membrane and piston movement described above. If the electromagnetic drive is switched off after sufficient metered liquid has been delivered, the pump piston 15 and the membrane 2 firmly connected to it return to their rest position shown in the drawing.
