Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering pump for metered conveying of liquids with a suction valve built into a suction line coming from a suction tank, a pump chamber behind it with a pump element changing its displacement volume, a pressure valve leading to the metering line connection and a ventilation and bypass built into a return line leading to the suction tank -Valve.
  • a metering pump of the above type is known from FR-PS 21 20 945. It is designed as a piston diaphragm pump, which has a comparatively large pump chamber, which has a suction valve at the bottom and a vent valve at the top, and a comparatively small metering cylinder space to be separated from it by a metering piston that is to be driven back and forth in the middle of a pumping membrane that forms the pump element which branches off the pressure valve to the metering line connection.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving and perfecting a metering pump of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that if the metering liquid is adequately vented, the necessary return flow via the venting and bypass valve is as small as possible and thus also the drive expenditure and the susceptibility to wear allowed to be kept correspondingly small.
  • This object is achieved on the basis of a metering pump of the type mentioned at the outset in that between the pressure valve and the pump chamber a valve chamber is provided which is separated from the latter by a non-return central valve and a movable control wall, into which the valve chamber controlled by the control wall is located at the respective position Suction stroke of the pump goose opening and during its pressure stroke closing vent valve is installed.
  • the metering pump can be operated in such a way that practically the entire amount of metering liquid conveyed by its pumping element is pressed into the metering line connection via the pressure valve, whereby during the respective suction stroke of the pumping element a permanent automatic venting of the metering back pressure that is independent Valve chamber is guaranteed via its ventilation and bypass valve.
  • a movable displacement wall the volume of which changes in the opposite direction to the control wall and is under pretension, is provided in the valve chamber. This can ensure that during the respective suction stroke of the pumping goose and the associated suction movement of the control wall and the opening of the ventilation and bypass valve caused by the latter, no back-suction to the valve chamber can occur, at least not if the displacement volume, especially as Membrane formed displacement wall is at least as large as the displacement volume of the control wall, in particular also designed as a membrane.
  • the displacement volume of the pumping gans which preferably consists of a conveying membrane to be driven back and forth, is in any case larger than that of the control membrane, preferably larger than its double displacement volume.
  • the control membrane along with the middle valve and the vent valve on the one hand and the pressure valve and the displacement membrane on the other hand are arranged opposite each other in the valve space below and above or to the left and right thereof.
  • the center valve is preferably integrated in the control membrane.
  • the latter can be provided in the center with a valve bushing which has the valve bore and the valve seat of the central valve and a support bush which is screwed thereto for the valve body of the venting valve connected thereto via individual support arms.
  • a pressure spring which places the valve ball at about 1 bar pretension and on the compensating diaphragm a pressure spring which sets it at about 0.5 bar.
  • the metering pump shown is provided with a basic housing body 1 and a valve housing 3 which is screw-connected to it via an intermediate body 2 and in which the valve chamber 4 is located.
  • the pump chamber 5 is located in the basic housing 1 with the pump element 6 present therein, which essentially consists of a delivery membrane 7 to be driven back and forth in the direction of the arrows.
  • the drive motor required for this is not shown.
  • the suction valve 8 is provided, the valve body of which, designed as a valve ball 8 ', rests on the seat seal 10 located in the connecting piece 9 or is pressed against it by the compression spring 8 " Suction tank to connect incoming suction line.
  • the pump chamber 5 is to be connected to the valve chamber 4 via the center bore 11 penetrating the intermediate body 2 and the non-return center valve generally designated 12 or to be separated therefrom in the closed position of the center valve.
  • the control membrane 13 is for this provided in the center with a valve sleeve 16 forming the valve bore 14 and the valve seat 15, which rests on the intermediate body 2 via arms 16 ′ present on it at the bottom such that the control diaphragm 13 is always completely acted upon by the liquid pressure present in the central bore 11.
  • a compression spring 17 is arranged which acts on the control wall or membrane 13 in the direction of the valve chamber 4.
  • the valve sleeve 16 is screwed under clamping of the inner parts of the control membrane 13 to the support sleeve 18, on which there are support arms 18 'which hold the control membrane 13 or its support sleeve 18 with the valve body 19 of the ventilation and bypass valve, generally designated 20 connect.
  • the valve body 19 is clipped with its lower end between the upper ends of the support arms 18 'like a barb. It is additionally held in it by the pressure spring 12 ′′, which is supported on the underside of it and presses the valve ball 12 ′ of the central valve 12 against its valve seat 15.
  • the pressure spring 12 ′′ and the valve ball 12 ′ are accommodated in the space lying between the support arms 18 ′ which is in constant communication with the actual valve chamber 4 via the gaps between the support arms 18 'or belongs to it.
  • the compression spring 12 "serves to ensure the valve function. However, it can also be omitted if the valve ball 12 'is held in its closed position under its own weight.
  • connection hole 21 for a return line leading to the suction tank, not shown.
  • the valve body 19 engages in the smaller bore section 21 'with its upper, approximately cruciform profiled guide projection 19'.
  • sealing ring 19 ′′ which cooperates with the wall of the bore section 21 ′ which has a smaller diameter and forms the valve seat surface.
  • a line leading to the metering line connection 22 branches off from the valve chamber 4 with the pressure valve 23, which line is also designed as a valve ball 23 ′ which is pretensioned by a compression spring 24.
  • the valve ball 23 ' is acted upon by the spring 24 with a preload pressure of approximately 1 bar.
  • a prestressing spring 25 here designed as a diaphragm, which can change the volume of the valve chamber 4 in opposite directions to the control membrane 13.
  • This displacement membrane 26 is acted upon by the compression spring 26 acting on it with a prestressing pressure of about 0.5 bar.
  • the displacement volume of the displacement membrane 26 is equal to or slightly larger than the displacement volume of the control membrane 13.
  • the space containing the compression spring 25 is connected to the outside atmosphere via the vent hole 27.
  • the displacement volume of the displacement membrane 26 can be adjusted, for example by any screw-adjustable design of the pot base 3 'forming the spring abutment in the valve housing 3, the pot base 3' then thus forming an adjusting screw accessible from the outside. Due to the pressure spring 8 ′′ present in the suction valve 8 ′′, when counterpressure is present in the suction valve during the movement of the delivery membrane 7, a precisely defined pressure difference between the valve chamber 4 and the pump chamber 5 is achieved and thus the switching accuracy of the ventilation device is increased.
  • the center valve 12 need not necessarily be integrated into the control membrane 13. Rather, it can also be arranged separately from the latter between the valve chamber 4 and the pump chamber 5.
  • the control membrane 13 is then designed as a closed membrane, which, however, still controls the valve body 19 belonging to the vent valve 20.
  • the control membrane 13 can in principle also be replaced by a control piston, which forms the control wall and is to be arranged accordingly, with a groove or O-ring as a sealing element.
  • the displacement membrane 26 which could be replaced by an appropriately designed and arranged displacement piston.
