Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Membranpumpe mit einem einen Pleuel aufweisenden Kurbelantrieb und einer mit dem Pleuel verbundenen elastischen Membrane, welche Membrane an ihrer dem Verdichtungsraum abgewandten Rückseite wenigstens eine hinterschnittene Befestigungsöffnung zum Einsetzen des komplementär geformten Befestigungsendes des Pleuels aufweist, wobei das Pleuel an seinem Befestigungsende eine Stützfläche zur unterseitigen Abstützung des zentralen, eine Auflagefläche aufweisenden Membranbereiches hat und wobei die Stützfläche des Pleuels zumindest ein etwa in axialer Richtung des Pleuels vorstehender Befestigungsvorsprung zum formschlüssigen Eingreifen in wenigstens eine Befestigungsöffnung aufweisenden, zentralen Membranbereich vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a diaphragm pump with a connecting rod having crank drive and one connected to the connecting rod elastic membrane, which membrane at their compression space facing back at least one undercut Fastening opening for inserting the complementary shaped Fastening end of the connecting rod, wherein the connecting rod a support surface to the underside of its fastening end Support of the central one, which has a contact surface Has membrane area and the supporting surface of the connecting rod at least one protruding approximately in the axial direction of the connecting rod Fastening projection for positive engagement in at least one central opening Membrane area is provided.
Membranpumpen werden beispielsweise auch als Mikromembranpumpen bei tragbaren Analysegeräten verwendet. Da diese Analysegeräte und ihre Mikromembranpumpen meist unabhängig vom Stromnetz über Batterie oder Akku betrieben werden, sind hierfür Motoren mit einer geringen Stromaufnahme erforderlich. Solche Motoren haben jedoch nur eine geringe Leistungsfähigkeit, weshalb die Walkarbeit der Membran während des Betriebes dieser vorbekannten Mikromembranpumpen zu reduzieren ist. Bei derart schwachen Motoren ist daher auch die Membran ausreichend dünn auszugestalten, soll aber - insbesondere bei Analysegeräten - wieder sehr dicht sein, um die Genauigkeit dieser Geräte nicht zu beeinträchtigen.Diaphragm pumps are also used, for example, as micromembrane pumps used in portable analyzers. Because these analyzers and their micromembrane pumps mostly independent of the power grid Motors or batteries are operated for this purpose a low power consumption is required. Such engines have however only a low performance, which is why the Flexing work of the membrane during the operation of these previously known Micro diaphragm pumps is to be reduced. With such weak Motors, the membrane must therefore be made sufficiently thin, but should - especially with analyzers - again be very tight so as not to increase the accuracy of these devices affect.
Man kennt bereits Mikromembranpumpen, deren Membran zwischen einer dem Verdichtungsraum zugewandten metallischen Druckscheibe und dem Pleuelkopf eingespannt ist, wobei die Druckscheibe am Pleuelkopf mittels einer Schraubverbindung befestigt ist, welche eine zentrale Befestigungsöffnung der Membran durchsetzt. Eine solche Druckscheibenklemmung hat jedoch einen zentralen unelastischen Bereich der Membran zur Folge, wodurch das Hubvolumen reduziert und die Leistung der vorbekannten Mikromembranpumpe eingeschränkt wird.Micro diaphragm pumps are already known, their diaphragm between a metallic pressure disc facing the compression chamber and the connecting rod head is clamped, the thrust washer on Connecting rod head is fastened by means of a screw connection, which penetrates a central fastening opening of the membrane. A however, such pressure plate clamping has a central one inelastic area of the membrane resulting in the Stroke volume reduced and the performance of the known Micro diaphragm pump is restricted.
Man hat daher auch eine Mikromembranpumpe geschaffen, bei der die mit ihrem Umfangsrandbereich im Pumpenkopf eingespannte Membran einen im Querschnitt etwa T-förmigen Pleuelkopf formschlüssig umschließt. Durch diese formschlüssige Verbindung der Membran am Pleuelkopf kann auf die vorerwähnte Druckscheibenklemmung der Membran verzichtet werden. Diese vorbekannte Mikromembranpumpe hat ein größeres Hubvolumen, da die Membran auch in ihrem Zentralbereich elastisch ist. Während des Betriebes der vorbekannten Mikromembranpumpe bewegt sich die Membran aber auf dem von ihr umschlossenen Pleuelkopf hin und her, was mit einer zusätzlichen Walkarbeit der Membran verbunden ist.A micro diaphragm pump has therefore also been created in which the clamped with its peripheral edge area in the pump head Diaphragm a connecting rod head approximately T-shaped in cross section encloses positively. Through this positive connection The diaphragm on the connecting rod head can be attached to the pressure plate clamp mentioned above the membrane can be dispensed with. This previously known Micro diaphragm pump has a larger stroke volume because of the diaphragm is also elastic in its central area. During operation The membrane of the known micromembrane pump moves on the connecting rod head enclosed by her, what with an additional flexing work of the membrane is connected.
Aus der DE 33 11 104 A1 ist bereits eine Membranpumpe der eingangs erwähnten Art bekannt, deren Membran an der dem Verdichtungsraum abgewandten Membran-Unterseite eine hinterschnittene Befestigungsöffnung hat. Diese Befestigungsöffnung ist mit dem komplementär geformten Befestigungsende eines Pleuels verbunden. Am Befestigungsende des Pleuels ist dazu ein Befestigungsvorsprung vorgesehen, der in die Befestigungsöffnung eingeformt ist. Der Befestigungsvorsprung steht über eine am Befestigungsende des Pleuels befindliche Stützfläche vor, die zur unterseitigen Abstützung eines zentralen, eine Auflagefläche aufweisenden Membranbereiches dient. Da der Befestigungsvorsprung in die Membrane einvulkanisiert ist und da die Membran dieser vorbekannten Membranpumpe einen zum Zentrum zunehmend verdickten Zentralbereich hat, ist die somit allein in ihrer äußeren Ringzone flexibel ausgestaltete Membran nur mit einer entsprechend hohen Walkarbeit zu verformen. Eine solche Membrane ist daher vor allem in größeren Membranpumpen mit einem leistungsstarken Pumpenantrieb vorteilhaft einsetzbar, aber weniger gut für Mikromembranpumpen geeignet, deren Motoren nur eine geringe Leistungsfähigkeit haben.A diaphragm pump is already known from DE 33 11 104 A1 known type, the membrane of which the Compression chamber facing away from the underside of an undercut Has mounting opening. This mounting hole is with the complementary shaped end of a connecting rod connected. At the end of the connecting rod there is a Fastening projection provided in the fastening opening is molded. The fastening projection is above a Fastening end of the connecting rod in front of the support surface for supporting a central support surface on the underside having membrane area is used. Because the mounting tab is vulcanized into the membrane and since the membrane of this previously known diaphragm pump increasingly thickened towards the center Central area, it is therefore only in its outer Ring zone flexibly designed membrane only with a corresponding to deform high flexing work. Such a membrane is therefore especially in larger diaphragm pumps with one powerful pump drive can be used advantageously, however less well suited for micro diaphragm pumps whose motors only have poor performance.
Es besteht daher insbesondere die Aufgabe, eine Membranpumpe der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, deren Membran auf einfache Weise und dennoch so präzise am Pleuelkopf befestigt werden kann, daß während des Betriebes keine zusätzliche Walkarbeit auftritt.There is therefore in particular the task of a diaphragm pump to create the type mentioned, the membrane on simple and yet so precisely attached to the connecting rod head can be that no additional during operation Flexing occurs.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht bei der Membranpumpe der eingangs erwähnten Art insbesondere darin, daß an der Membranunterseite wenigstens ein zapfenförmiges Einsatzteil vorgesehen ist, und daß das Einsatzteil in Montagestellung an dem einen Befestigungsvorsprung oder an mehreren Befestigungsvorsprüngen des Pleuels seitlich anliegt.The achievement of this task consists in the Diaphragm pump of the type mentioned at the outset, in particular in that at least one cone-shaped on the underside of the membrane Insert part is provided, and that the insert part in Mounting position on the one fastening projection or several connecting tabs of the connecting rod are on the side.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Membranpumpe hat das Pleuel eine Stützfläche, welche einen zentralen, eine Auflagefläche aufweisenden Membranbereich abstützt. Durch die an ihrer Membranunterseite abgestützte Membran kann diese sich während des Betriebes nicht am Pleuel hin- und herbewegen, wodurch eine unerwünschte zusätzliche Walkarbeit der Membran vermieden wird. Insbesondere ein größer dimensionierter Stützring übt zudem einen Einfluß auf die mögliche Förderleistung der Membrane aus, weil diese nämlich insbesondere bei einem größeren Durchmesser des Stützringes eine größere kolbenartige Zone schafft, die sich während des Auf- und Abwärtshubes nicht verformt und somit zu einem größeren Hubvolumen führt. Diese Ausgestaltung der Membran gestattet einen relativ kleinen, festen Durchmesser des Pleuels, so daß sich verhältnismäßig große elastische Zonen herausbilden, die zu niedrigen Spannungen in der Membran und dadurch zu einem größeren Hub im Verhältnis zum Wirkdurchmesser der Membrane führen. Die Membrane zeichnet sich daher durch bessere Membrandehnungsverhältnisse und ihren stets gleichbleibend einwandfreien Sitz aus. Da die Membrane der erfindungsgemäßen Membranpumpe keine zentrale Befestigungsöffnung mehr benötigt, ist diese Membrane an der Pleuelbefestigung im Gegensatz zur vorbekannten Druckscheibenklemmung sehr dicht.In the diaphragm pump according to the invention, the connecting rod has one Support surface, which is a central, a support surface having membrane area supports. Because of her Membrane underside supported, this can become during of the business do not move back and forth on the connecting rod, which unwanted additional flexing work of the membrane is avoided. In particular, a larger support ring also exercises influence the possible delivery capacity of the membrane, because this is especially the case with a larger diameter of the support ring creates a larger piston-like zone that does not deform during the up and down stroke and thus leads to a larger stroke volume. This configuration of the Membrane allows a relatively small, fixed diameter of the connecting rod, so that there are relatively large elastic zones form the too low voltages in the membrane and this leads to a larger stroke in relation to the effective diameter of the membrane. The membrane is therefore characterized by better membrane expansion ratios and their always constant perfect fit. Since the membrane of the invention Diaphragm pump no longer has a central fastening opening required, this membrane is on the connecting rod attachment in the In contrast to the known pressure plate clamping, it is very tight.
Das erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene und vorzugsweise an einem ringförmigen Befestigungsvorsprung oder an zumindest drei, etwa gleichmäßig voneinander beabstandeten Befestigungsvorsprüngen anliegende, zapfenförmige Einsatzteil der erfindungsgemäßen Membran übernimmt die Zentrierung und Führung der Membran während der Schwingbewegungen. Gleichzeitig übernimmt dieses zapfenförmige Einsatzteil die radiale und axiale Führung der Membrane gegenüber dem Pleuel. Die Membrane wird dadurch so präzise auf dem Pleuel fixiert, daß sowohl radiale wie auch axiale Kräfte sie nicht aus ihrer Position gegenüber dem Pleuel verändern.The provided according to the invention and preferably on one annular fastening projection or at least three, approximately evenly spaced fastening projections adjacent, peg-shaped insert part of the invention The membrane takes over the centering and guiding of the membrane during the swinging movements. At the same time, this takes on cone-shaped Insert the radial and axial guidance of the membrane opposite the connecting rod. This makes the membrane so precise the connecting rod fixes that both radial and axial forces not change them from their position in relation to the connecting rod.
Dabei wird eine Ausführungsform bevorzugt, bei der ein auf einem
zur Pleuellängsachse konzentrischen Kreis angeordneter,
ringförmiger Befestigungsvorsprung mit an seinem freien
Randbereich hakenartig seitlich vorspringendem Hintergreifrand
vorgesehen ist. Ein solcher Befestigungsvorsprung am Pleuel
begünstigt die gute Zentrierung und Führung der Membran während
ihrer Schwingbewegungen; gleichzeitig wird die Membran besonders
präzise auf dem Pleuel fixiert.
Möglich ist aber auch, daß mehrere, vorzugsweise zumindest drei
auf einem zur Pleuellängsachse konzentrischen Kreis angeordnete
Befestigungsvorsprünge vorgesehen sind.In this case, an embodiment is preferred in which an annular fastening projection arranged on a circle concentric with the connecting rod longitudinal axis is provided with a rear engagement edge projecting laterally like a hook on its free edge region. Such a fastening projection on the connecting rod favors the good centering and guiding of the membrane during its swinging movements; at the same time, the membrane is particularly precisely fixed on the connecting rod.
But it is also possible that several, preferably at least three, fastening projections arranged on a circle concentric with the connecting rod longitudinal axis are provided.
Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die am Befestigungsende des Pleuels befindliche Stützfläche zur unterseitigen Abstützung des zentralen, eine Auflagefläche aufweisenden Membranbereiches, einen etwa radial über den Querschnitt des Pleuels überstehenden Stützkragen hat und daß die zentrale Auflagefläche der Membrane entsprechend dieser vergrößerten Stützfläche dimensioniert sind. Die entsprechend dimensionierte Membrane überträgt über ihre zentrale Auflagefläche einen Teil der Druckkräfte auf den etwa radial über den Querschnitt des Pleuels überstehenden Stützkragen.A particularly advantageous embodiment according to the invention provides that the one located at the end of the connecting rod Support surface for supporting the central one on the underside Contact area having membrane area, approximately radial has over the cross-section of the connecting rod protruding support collar and that the central contact surface of the membrane accordingly this enlarged support surface are dimensioned. The appropriately dimensioned membrane transmits via its central Contact surface some of the compressive forces on the approximately radial Support collar protruding over the cross-section of the connecting rod.
Um die gute Zentrierung der Membrane am Befestigungsende des Pleuels zu begünstigen, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn an der Stützfläche des Pleuels ein vorzugsweise zentraler Zentriervorsprung zum Eingreifen in eine Gegenausnehmung der Membrane vorgesehen ist.To ensure that the membrane is properly centered at the fastening end of the To favor connecting rods, it is useful if at the Support surface of the connecting rod, preferably a central centering projection for engaging in a counter recess in the membrane is provided.
Um die Membrane über einen möglichst großen radialen Bereich elastisch ausgestalten zu können und um die mögliche Förderleistung der Membrane positiv zu beeinflussen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die dem Verdichtungsraum der Pumpe zugewandte Seite der Membrane befestigungsmittelfrei ist. Around the membrane over the largest possible radial area to be able to design elastic and the possible conveying capacity to positively influence the membrane, it is advantageous if the side of the pump facing the compression chamber Membrane is free of fasteners.
Um eine hohe Dichtigkeit an der Pleuelbefestigung zu erreichen, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Membrane dem Verdichtungsraum zugewandt durchgehend geschlossen ausgebildet ist.In order to achieve a high level of tightness on the connecting rod attachment, it is useful if the membrane is the compression space facing is continuously closed.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß die erfindungsgemäße Membranpumpe als Mikromembranpumpe ausgebildet ist.According to a preferred embodiment it is provided that the diaphragm pump according to the invention as a micro diaphragm pump is trained.
Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der folgenden Beschreibung eines erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispieles in Verbindung mit den Ansprüchen sowie der Zeichnung. Die einzelnen Merkmale können je für sich oder zu mehreren bei einer Ausführungsform gemäß der Erfindung verwirklicht sein.Further features of the invention result from the following Description of an embodiment according to the invention in Connection with the claims and the drawing. The single ones Characteristics can be used individually or in groups of one Embodiment can be realized according to the invention.
Die einzige Figur zeigt den Kurbelantrieb 1 sowie eine mit einem
Pleuel 2 des Kurbelantriebes 1 verbundene Membrane 3 einer
Membranpumpe in einer schematischen Darstellung. Das Pleuel
2 des Kurbelantriebes 1 ist mit der Membrane 3 derart verbunden,
daß die Membrane 3 über das Pleuel 2 während des Betriebes der
Membranpumpe hin- und herbewegt wird.The single figure shows the

konzentrisch zur Pleuellängsachse angeordneter ringförmiger
Befestigungsvorsprung 6 vor, der an seinem freien Randbereich
einen hakenartig seitlich nach außen vorspringenden Hintergreifrand

3 ab. Durch die an ihrer Membranunterseite abgestützte Membrane
3 kann diese sich während des Betriebes der Membranpumpe am
Pleuel nicht mehr hin- und herbewegen, wodurch eine unerwünschte
zusätzliche Walkarbeit der Membrane 3 vermieden wird. Insbesondere
eine größer dimensionierte Stützfläche übt zudem einen
Einfluß auf die mögliche Förderleistung der Membrane 3 aus,
weil diese nämlich insbesondere bei einem größeren Durchmesser
der Stützfläche 4 eine größere kolbenartige Zone schafft, die
sich während des Auf- und Abwärtshubes nicht verformt und somit
zu einem größeren Hubvolumen führt. Gleichzeitig gestattet diese
Konstruktion einen relativ kleinen festen Durchmesser des Pleuels
2, so daß sich verhältnismäßig große elastische Zonen herausbilden,
die zu niedrigen Spannungen in der Membrane 3 und
dadurch zu einem größeren Hub im Verhältnis zum Wirkdurchmesser
der Membrane 3 führen. Die Membrane 3 zeichnet sich daher durch
bessere Membrandehnungsverhältnisse und ihren stets gleichbleibend
einwandfreien Sitz aus. Da die Membrane 3 der hier
dargestellten Membranpumpe keine zentrale Befestigungsöffnung
mehr hat, ist diese Membrane 3 an der Pleuelbefestigung im
Gegensatz zur vorbekannten Druckscheibenklemmung sehr dicht.The

diesen Zentriervorsprung 11 wird die gute Zentrierung und Führung
der Membrane 3 während der Schwingbewegung noch zusätzlich
begünstigt. Durch die oben beschriebenen Maßnahmen ist die
