Abstract

The centrifugal pump is constructed within a body (4), fitted with an inlet opening (12) and an outlet opening (13). The centrifugal wheel (5) is carried by two rigid external bearings (16,17), which are fitted at the two axial extremities of the wheel. An axial stop (18) is provided at the opposite end of the wheel to the magnetic clutch assembly. The drive to the centrifugal wheel is transmitted from the motor output shaft (2), carrying a set of magnets (3), to a second set of magnets (6), carried by the centrifugal wheel. The wheel is pierced axially by a central hole (19), which allows the passage of the fluid through to the rear of the wheel to avoid the use of a second axial stop, which would interfere with the magnetic drive.

Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

L'invention concerne les pompes centrifuges à entraînement magnétique central, particulièrement les pompes en matériau carboné et les pompes destinées à véhiculer des fluides chauds et/ou corrosifs et/ou toxiques et dangereux.The invention relates to centrifugal pumps with central magnetic drive, particularly pumps made of carbonaceous material and pumps intended to convey hot and / or corrosive and / or toxic and dangerous fluids.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Les pompes centrifuges à entraînement magnétique ont pour constituants de base un corps de pompe, une roue centrifuge, un dispositif d'entraînement magnétique et des organes d'assemblage et de raccordement.Centrifugal pumps with magnetic drive have as basic components a pump body, a centrifugal impeller, a magnetic drive and assembly and connection elements.

La figure 1 illustre schématiquement la constitution d'une pompe connue de ce type.Figure 1 schematically illustrates the constitution of a known pump of this type.

Le corps de pompe 4 est doté d'un orifice d'entrée 12, d'un compartiment de pompage 22 et d'un orifice de sortie 13. Le corps de pompe 4 peut être formé de plusieurs pièces.The pump body 4 is provided with an inlet port 12, a pumping compartment 22 and an outlet port 13. The pump body 4 can be formed from several parts.

Le dispositif d'entraînement magnétique comporte un rotor 23 et un entraîneur 24. L'entraîneur consiste en une roue d'entraînement 14, qui est munie d'aimants permanents moteurs 3 et qui est fixée à l'arbre 2 d'un moteur.The magnetic drive device comprises a rotor 23 and a driver 24. The driver consists of a drive wheel 14, which is provided with permanent motor magnets 3 and which is fixed to the shaft 2 of a motor.

On distingue au moins deux types d'entraînement magnétique : soit à entraîneur périphérique, soit à entraîneur central. Dans le premier cas, le plus fréquent, la roue d'entraînement 14 entoure le rotor 23, alors que dans le second cas, qui concerne la présente demande, elle se situe à l'intérieur du rotor.There are at least two types of magnetic drive: either peripheral drive or central drive. In the first case, the most frequent, the drive wheel 14 surrounds the rotor 23, while in the second case, which relates to the present application, it is located inside the rotor.

Le rotor 23 est fixé à la roue centrifuge 5, le plus souvent par l'intermédiaire d'un arbre commun et par visserie, de manière à former un ensemble roue-rotor solidaire. Le rotor est doté d'éléments suiveurs 6, qui sont soit des aimants permanents, dits aimants suiveurs, soit des pièces en matériau de grande perméabilité magnétique, dites pièces d'entraînement, soit une combinaison des deux. Les aimants moteurs 3 et les éléments suiveurs 6 sont en général disposés en vis-à-vis et espacés de manière à assurer un couple d'entraînement suffisant.The rotor 23 is fixed to the centrifugal wheel 5, most often by means of a common shaft and by screws, so as to form an integral wheel-rotor assembly. The rotor is provided with follower elements 6, which are either permanent magnets, called follower magnets, or parts made of material of high magnetic permeability, called drive parts, or a combination of the two. The motor magnets 3 and the follower elements 6 are generally placed opposite and spaced so as to ensure sufficient driving torque.

La stabilité et le centrage des pièces en rotation sont assurés par un ou des palier(s) axial (axiaux) 8, interne(s) ou externe(s), garni(s) ou non de coussinets 9. Un dispositif de lubrification 10 et un lubrifiant particuliers sont souvent nécessaires, mais il est connu de pouvoir assurer la lubrification des paliers à l'aide du fluide véhiculé (pompes auto-lubrifiantes). Comme le décrivent les brevets DE-3413930 et US-5201642 et la demande GB-2263312, l'auto-lubrification est obtenue à l'aide d'un circuit secondaire qui favorise la circulation du fluide véhiculé dans un léger jeu au niveau des paliers et/ou dans des conduits de reflux 25 dans les parties fixes et/ou mobiles.Stability and centering of the rotating parts are ensured by one or more axial (axial) bearings 8, internal (s) or external (s), whether or not fitted with bearings 9. A lubrication device 10 and a particular lubricant are often necessary, but it is known to be able to ensure the lubrication of the bearings using the fluid conveyed (self-lubricating pumps). As described in patents DE-3413930 and US-5201642 and application GB-2263312, the self-lubrication is obtained using a secondary circuit which promotes the circulation of the fluid conveyed in a slight clearance at the bearings and / or in reflux conduits 25 in the fixed and / or mobile parts.

Le compartiment de pompage 22 occupe un volume fermé intérieurement par une cloche entrefer 7 hermétique. L'entraîneur 24 et le moteur se situent à l'extérieur du compartiment de pompage et sont ainsi isolés du fluide véhiculé, qui ne circule plus que dans le compartiment de pompage 22. La paroi de la cloche entrefer 7 est en général mince et configurée de manière à passer dans l'entrefer du dispositif d'entraînement, à savoir dans l'espace qui sépare les aimants moteurs 3 des éléments suiveurs 6.The pumping compartment 22 occupies a volume closed internally by an air-tight bell 7. The driver 24 and the motor are located outside the pumping compartment and are thus isolated from the transported fluid, which no longer circulates except in the pumping compartment 22. The wall of the air-gap bell 7 is generally thin and configured. so as to pass through the air gap of the drive device, namely into the space which separates the motor magnets 3 from the follower elements 6.

Problème poséProblem

Une des principales préoccupations des fabricants de pompes centrifuges à entraînement magnétique est la tenue au fluide véhiculé, c'est-à-dire la tenue en température et la résistance à l'agressivité chimique des fluides véhiculés.One of the main concerns of manufacturers of centrifugal pumps with magnetic drive is the resistance to the conveyed fluid, that is to say the resistance to temperature and the resistance to chemical aggressiveness of the conveyed fluids.

Pour cela, outre l'introduction d'une cloche entrefer hermétique, il est connu par les brevets DE-3413930 et US-4645433 d'utiliser des matériaux offrant une bonne tenue physico-chimique au fluide véhiculé.For this, in addition to the introduction of a hermetic air-gap bell, it is known from patents DE-3413930 and US-4645433 to use materials offering good physico-chemical resistance to the fluid conveyed.

Or, les pompes destinées notamment aux industries chimique, parachimique et pharmaceutique font le plus souvent partie intégrante de dispositifs complexes. Pour cela, outre l'impératif de la tenue au fluide véhiculé, elles doivent répondre à un certain nombre d'impératifs complémentaires de nature technique et surtout économique, afin notamment de réduire les coûts d'entretien et de limiter les arrêts de production.However, pumps intended in particular for the chemical, parachemical and pharmaceutical industries are most often an integral part of complex devices. For this, in addition to the imperative of resistance to the fluid conveyed, they must meet a certain number of additional imperatives of a technical and above all economic nature, in particular in order to reduce maintenance costs and limit production stoppages.

Ces impératifs complémentaires comprennent notamment :

  • une grande stabilité et un équilibrage parfait en rotation ;
  • une construction aussi compacte que possible ;
  • un nombre de pièces aussi limité que possible ;
  • un montage et un démontage très aisé.
These additional requirements include:
  • high stability and perfect balance in rotation;
  • construction as compact as possible;
  • as few pieces as possible;
  • very easy assembly and disassembly.

La pompe décrite dans le brevet DE-3413930 résiste certes aux fluides véhiculés, mais il est connu que les pompes avec arbre commun sont d'un entretien difficile à cause de l'emboîtement particulier des pièces.The pump described in patent DE-3413930 certainly resists the fluids conveyed, but it is known that pumps with a common shaft are difficult to maintain because of the particular interlocking of the parts.

De façon générale, il est bien connu que les pompes avec arbre commun peuvent difficilement être compactes.In general, it is well known that pumps with a common shaft can hardly be compact.

Dans certains cas, le rotor est en porte-à-faux par rapport à la roue centrifuge (brevet US-5201642) ou par rapport à un axe dans l'orifice d'entrée de la pompe (brevet US-4645433). Il est connu que ces dispositions permettent un léger débattement radial, source de vibrations et éventuellement de frottements parasites. Ces effets indésirables sont accentués aux températures élevées, notamment per l'effet des dilatations différentielles entre les pièces constitutives.In certain cases, the rotor is cantilevered with respect to the centrifugal wheel (patent US-5201642) or with respect to an axis in the inlet port of the pump (US Pat. No. 4,645,433). It is known that these arrangements allow a slight radial movement, a source of vibrations and possibly parasitic friction. These undesirable effects are accentuated at high temperatures, in particular by the effect of differential expansions between the constituent parts.

Par ailleurs, le brevet US-4645433 décrit certes une pompe dont le dispositif d'entraînement est de volume réduit, mais la section d'entrée est fortement réduite par la présence de l'axe de rotation, ce qui augmente considérablement la perte de charge et le NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) requis et qui augmente par conséquent les risques de dégradation de la roue centrifuge par cavitation. De surcroît, cette configuration requiert une lubrification particulière indépendante.Furthermore, US Pat. No. 4,645,433 describes a pump, the drive device of which is of reduced volume, but the inlet section is greatly reduced by the presence of the axis of rotation, which considerably increases the pressure drop. and the NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) required and which consequently increases the risks of degradation of the centrifugal wheel by cavitation. In addition, this configuration requires specific independent lubrication.

Ayant constaté l'absence de solution connue satisfaisante, la demanderesse a alors cherché à fabriquer une pompe centrifuge à entraînement magnétique qui satisfasse l'ensemble des impératifs industriels énoncés plus haut.Having noted the absence of a known satisfactory solution, the applicant then sought to manufacture a centrifugal pump with magnetic drive which satisfies all of the industrial requirements set out above.

La partie du liquide véhiculé mise en circulation dans le compartiment de pompage par le circuit secondaire permet non seulement l'auto-lubrification du palier arrière, mais évite aussi l'utilisation d'une deuxième butée axiale au niveau du palier arrière grâce à un effet de palier liquide et limite la pression à l'arrière de l'ensemble roue-rotor, ce qui réduit l'usure de la butée avant.The part of the transported liquid circulated in the pumping compartment by the secondary circuit not only allows the self-lubrication of the rear bearing, but also avoids the use of a second axial stop at the rear bearing thanks to an effect liquid bearing and limits the pressure at the rear of the wheel-rotor assembly, which reduces wear on the front stop.

Le fait d'isoler les aimants suiveurs dans la masse du rotor permet non seulement d'éviter que les aimants soient attaqués par le fluide véhiculé, mais permet également de bénéficier des propriétés tribologiques des matériaux carbonés constituant l'ensemble roue-rotor.The fact of isolating the follower magnets in the mass of the rotor not only prevents the magnets from being attacked by the fluid carried, but also makes it possible to benefit from the tribological properties of the carbonaceous materials constituting the wheel-rotor assembly.

Les opérations de montage et de démontage de la pompe selon l'invention s'effectuent par simple empilement et emboîtement des pièces constitutives. Le moteur peut être enlevé sans retirer la pompe du dispositif auquel elle est raccordée, c'est-à-dire que le fluide véhiculé peut rester dans le compartiment de pompage au cours de cette opération.The assembly and disassembly operations of the pump according to the invention are carried out by simple stacking and nesting of the constituent parts. The motor can be removed without removing the pump from the device to which it is connected, that is to say that the fluid carried may remain in the pumping compartment during this operation.

Le nombre de pièces de la pompe selon l'invention est très réduit, ce qui facilite l'entretien et en réduit les coûts.The number of parts of the pump according to the invention is very small, which facilitates maintenance and reduces costs.

La pompe selon l'invention présente aussi l'avantage d'une grande adaptabilité aux conditions très variables d'utilisation, notamment en ce qui concerne la pression et le débit.The pump according to the invention also has the advantage of great adaptability to very variable conditions of use, especially with regard to pressure and flow.

Lors des essais, comme le montrent les exemples, la demanderesse a pu constater que la pompe selon l'invention offre de très bonnes performances, notamment ce qui concerne la courbe des caractéristiques, la tenue à la corrosion, la fiabilité, la tenue mécanique et le centrage de l'ensemble roue-rotor.During the tests, as the examples show, the applicant has been able to observe that the pump according to the invention offers very good performance, in particular as regards the characteristic curve, the corrosion resistance, the reliability, the mechanical resistance and centering of the wheel-rotor assembly.

On attribue ces résultats à la combinaison favorable d'un ensemble roue-rotor compact, c'est-à-dire court par rapport à son diamètre, et de paliers externes de grand diamètre aux extrémités. On fait également l'hypothèse que l'effet de palier liquide entre l'ensemble roue-rotor et la cloche entrefer joue un rôle important dans la stabilité mécanique de la pompe.These results are attributed to the favorable combination of a compact wheel-rotor assembly, that is to say short in relation to its diameter, and external bearings of large diameter at the ends. It is also assumed that the liquid bearing effect between the wheel-rotor assembly and the air-gap bell plays an important role in the mechanical stability of the pump.
