Definitions

  • the invention relates to a magnetic pump for corrosive media, with a motor-driven drive motor arranged on the outer circumference of a containment shell, with a arranged inside the containment shell, which can be taken by the drive motor during rotation and is magnetically coupled with this and one at one end rotatably with the magnet rotor and at its other end, a pump shaft connected in a rotationally fixed manner, which is mounted radially in a pump back part in two sliding bearing bushings made of silicon carbide, the surfaces of the containment shell, the pump back part, the impeller and the magnet rotor which delimit the inside of the pump being made of plastic.
  • Impeller and magnet rotor usually have injected or coated metal bushings for torque transmission. These have to be sealed with aggressive elements against the aggressive media.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop the generic magnetic pump in such a way that the corrosion resistance against aggressive media is further improved with a simplified structure.
  • the pump shaft consists of hard ceramic; that the slide bearing bushing adjacent to the impeller for the pump shaft has a first exposed annular end bearing surface facing the impeller; that the slide bearing bushing adjacent to the magnetic rotor for the pump shaft has a second exposed annular end bearing surface facing the magnetic rotor; that an impeller bush made of hard ceramic is connected to the impeller in a rotationally fixed manner and has an exposed first axial bearing surface facing the first end bearing surface; and that a magnet rotor made of hard ceramic is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the magnet rotor and has an exposed second axial bearing surface facing the second end bearing surface.
  • the impeller bush is potted with the impeller.
  • the invention also proposes that the magnet rotor bushing be encapsulated with the magnet rotor.
  • the invention also provides that silicon carbide is at least partially provided as the hard ceramic.
  • the invention is based on the surprising finding that it is possible to significantly improve the corrosion resistance of magnetic pumps of the generic type with a simple structure by producing the pump shaft, the impeller bushing and the magnetic rotor bushing from hard ceramic, preferably from silicon carbide, the construction being carried out in this way is that the plain bearing bushes, also made of silicon carbide, together with the impeller bushing and the magnetic rotor bushing simultaneously fulfill the function of the axial bearing for the pump shaft.
  • the drawing consists of a single figure an embodiment of a magnetic pump according to the invention in axial longitudinal section.
  • the magnetic pump according to the invention in the exemplary embodiment shown there has a drive rotor 12 seated on a motor journal 10 provided with a drive motor (not shown), which carries a drive magnet ring 16 arranged on the outer circumference of a containment shell 14, made of plastic material.
  • a magnet rotor 18 is rotatably mounted in the interior of the can 14, the magnet rotor ring 20 of the magnet rotor being magnetically coupled to the drive ring 16 of the drive rotor 12 via the wall of the can.
  • a magnetic rotor sleeve 22 made of silicon carbide is integrated in a rotationally fixed manner into the plastic mass of the magnetic rotor 18, which is made entirely of corrosion-resistant plastic material, and has a free circular axial bearing surface 24 lying in the end face of the magnetic rotor 18 pointing to the left in the drawing.
  • the magnetic rotor bushing 22 is positively connected to a pump shaft 26 made of silicon carbide via a polygonal profile, which enables perfect torque transmission.
  • the pump shaft 26 is rotatably mounted in two plain bearing bushes 28, 30 which are arranged in the pump housing in such a way that they each form an annular, exposed end bearing surface 32, 34.
  • an impeller bush 36 With the end of the pump shaft 26 facing away from the magnet rotor 18, an impeller bush 36 is rotationally fixed in a manner suitable for torque transmission via a polygon profile PC 4 connected, which is poured into the plastic mass of an impeller 38.
  • the impeller bushing 36 also consists of silicon carbide and has an annular axial bearing surface 40 which faces the end bearing surface 34 of the plain bearing bushing 28.
