Definitions
- the invention relates to a metering pump for metered conveying of liquids with a suction valve, which is installed in a suction line coming from a suction tank, with a pump chamber located behind it, the displacement of which can be changed by means of a pumping element, with a pressure valve leading to the metering line, one at the upper end the pump arranged venting device with a check valve and with a flow-actuated venting and bypass valve built into a venting line, the response of which depends on the state of aggregation of the fluid present, this valve being open in the idle state, only closing during the pressure stroke with liquid present at the valve and has an elastic membrane.
- Such a metering pump is known from DE 42 19 663 C2.
- the membrane of the vent valve has an orifice acting as a throttle with a diameter such that the membrane is not deflected when gases flow through it, but is moved when liquid is applied to the membrane during the pressure stroke, and in this way the valve outlet is closed. In this way, the liquid in the pump chamber can release the gas it contains to the vent line both during the pressure stroke and during the suction stroke.
- the membrane closes, so that only a little fluid gets into the deaeration line.
- a backflow of gases from the vent line into the pump chamber is prevented by a check valve which is arranged in the vent path behind the membrane.
- a check valve which is arranged in the vent path behind the membrane.
- the check valve wetted with the liquid is surrounded by gas or air, the liquid gradually drying off. Difficulties often arise here, since these partially dried-out liquid residues, in particular in the case of liquids which tend to crystallize, lead to the valve member sticking to the valve seat of the check valve.
- the gas pressure at the check valve is usually not sufficient to open the valve.
- Another metering pump for metering liquids is known from DE 42 41 030 C1.
- the pump also has a vent and return line to the suction tank, but the vent valve is located within the flow path from the pump chamber to the liquid outlet.
- the vent line In the case of vented liquid, the vent line is closed by a closing body which is connected to a control membrane via support arms.
- a check valve is provided between the control membrane and the closing body, which is called “check valve” here.
- the vent valve is only dependent on the pressure acting on the membrane, but not on the physical state of the fluid present. The venting speed for this pump depends on the size of the control membrane.
- the invention has for its object to significantly reduce the susceptibility to failure of a pump of the type mentioned.
- This object is achieved in that the membrane is connected to a spaced closing body which closes the vent line when the membrane is deflected, and in that the check valve is arranged between the membrane and the closing body.
- the diaphragm in the pump according to the invention does not simultaneously serve as a closing body, but only as a control element for such a body.
- the check valve is arranged so that its valve member, for. B. a ball, with vented liquid and thus closed vent line is always surrounded by liquid, so that the valve member can not stick to the valve seat even with prolonged operation of the pump with vented liquid.
- the space between the membrane and the closing body remains filled with the liquid until non-deaerated liquid is sucked in again, the membrane returns to its rest position and thus the closing body opens the ventilation line so that the gas can escape.
- vent line leads back to the suction tank.
- the membrane is held in this initial position by its own bias or alternatively or additionally by a spring.
- the response value of the valve is specified with the aid of this force. This value is selected so that the membrane only works in the pump chamber when the liquid is vented.
- a particular advantage of the metering pump according to the invention lies in the particularly rapid venting, since in the case of non-vented liquid no control power is required on the membrane in order to open the vent line. Only the relatively low control output on the check valve is necessary.
- the dependency of the response behavior of the vent valve on the physical state of the fluid present is preferably achieved in that the membrane forms a closed surface except for a throttle bore.
- the diameter of the bore is matched to the liquid and the preload of the membrane, so that the bore forms a sufficiently high flow resistance for the liquid and the membrane is actuated during the pressure stroke. The flow resistance is too low for the gas present to lift the membrane from its seat.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a metering pump according to the invention in the suction position
- Figure 2 shows an enlarged view of the venting part of the pump
- Figure 3 shows the pump in the vent position and Figure 4 shows the pump in the metering position.
- the piston pump has a suction line 12 which is connected to a suction tank (not shown) for the liquid to be conveyed, a metering line 13 and an inner pump chamber 7 arranged between the two lines.
- a delivery membrane 6 changing the volume of the pump chamber 7 is replaced by a not shown Motor moves in the direction of the arrows.
- a suction valve is provided, the valve member 8 of which is designed as a ball is held in its closed position by a compression spring 14.
- a corresponding metering valve at the inlet of the metering line 13 also has a valve ball 9, which is pressed onto its valve seat by a compression spring 15.
- the pump chamber 7 is connected in the upper part of the pump to a ventilation device which is returned via a ventilation line 10 to the suction tank, not shown.
- the venting unit is shown on an enlarged scale in FIG. It has two valves, a diaphragm valve and a non-return valve with a valve ball 2.
- the diaphragm valve consists of a diaphragm 5 with a through-hole acting as a throttle 3.
- the diaphragm serves as a control for a closing body 4 connected to it via support arms 1, which is the actual one Valve member forms.
- the check valve is arranged between the membrane 5 and the closing body 4.
- the diaphragm 5 is in the rest position due to its pretensioning, whereby a compression spring can also be provided, and lies flat on its valve seat.
- the ball 2 of the check valve closes the bore 3 in the membrane, but the closing body 4 is lifted off its valve seat 11 and releases the vent line 10.
- the movement of the delivery membrane 6 to the right increases the volume of the pump chamber 7, the valve ball 8 of the suction valve lifts up from its valve seat against the compression spring 14, and Liquid, air or both is sucked into the pump chamber 7.
- the pressure valve 9 is closed.
- the negative pressure in the pump chamber 7 acts on the relatively large area of the membrane 5 and in the direction of the bias of the membrane, so that it remains in its rest position.
- the delivery membrane 6 moves to the left and reduces the volume of the pump chamber 7, the valve 8 closing.
- the pressure is not sufficient to open the metering valve 9 against the force of the compression spring 15 and the counterpressure that may be present from the metering line 13.
- the air contained in the pump chamber 7 flows upward to the membrane 5, lifts the valve ball 2 and escapes into the line 10 via the closing body 4, which releases the ventilation line 10.
- the bore 3 in the membrane 5 has such a diameter, so that the back pressure created by the flowing air is not sufficient to lift the membrane 5.
- the vent line is therefore constantly open during this venting process and a gas pressure in the system, for. B. by degassing liquids, can not occur.
- the venting works without pressure and without loss space ("dead space") of the membrane 5. The venting is thus quick and safe.
- FIG. 4 shows the pressure position of the metering pump when the pump head is vented.
- the valve ball 8 of the intake valve is in turn closed. Due to the larger back pressure of the liquid at the throttle bore 3 of the membrane 5, the membrane lifts up from its flat seat and presses the closing body 4 against its seat 11, so that the vent line 10 is closed.
- the volume of the pump chamber 7 increases in accordance with the area of the diaphragm 5 and its path.
- the valve ball 9 of the metering valve lifts off its valve seat against the force of the compression spring 15, since the pump chamber is now completely filled with vented liquid 7 a sufficient pressure acts on the ball 9.
- the liquid is metered into the metering line 13.
