Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine von einem Elektromotor betriebene Kreiselpumpe zur Förderung von Brauchwasser in Versorgungssystemen von Gebäuden, mit einem den Elektromotor umgebenden Motorgehäuse und mit einem Pumpengehäuse, das eine das Laufrad aufnehmende Laufradkammer stirnseitig bedeckt und das einen Einlaßkanal aufweist, der in einem Einlaßstutzen mündet, und das einen Auslaßkanal aufweist, der in einem insbesondere koaxial (

Figure 00010001
in-line") zum Einlaßstutzen angeordneten Auslaßstutzen mündet.The present invention relates to a centrifugal pump operated by an electric motor for conveying process water in building supply systems, with a motor housing surrounding the electric motor and with a pump housing which covers an impeller chamber which accommodates the impeller on the end face and which has an inlet channel which opens into an inlet connection, and which has an outlet channel which is in particular coaxial (
Figure 00010001
in-line ") to the outlet port arranged outlet port.

Kreiselpumpen mit derartigen Pumpengehäusen sind seit langem hinlänglich bekannt. Um den in Brauchwassersystemen auftretenden hohen Drücken mit Druckspitzen von bis zu 30 bar widerstehen zu können, werden die Pumpengehäuse dieser Pumpen bekanntermaßen aus korrosionsbeständigem Metall insbesondere aus einer speziellen Kupferlegierung gegossen. Derart gegossene oder gepreßte Metallgehäuse mit angeformten Stutzen zum Anschluß an die Rohrleitungen sind widerstandsfähig und gewährleisten eine hohe Betriebssicherheit der Pumpen auch bei den in Brauchwasserkreisläufen auftreten hohen Drücken. Centrifugal pumps with such pump housings have been around for a long time well known. To that in domestic water systems occurring high pressures with pressure peaks of up to 30 bar to be able to withstand the pump housings of these pumps known to be made of corrosion-resistant metal in particular cast from a special copper alloy. Such cast or pressed metal housing with molded nozzle for connection to the pipelines are resistant and also guarantee high operational reliability of the pumps with the high pressures that occur in service water circuits.

Nachteilig an den bekannten Brauchwasserpumpen mit Pumpengehäusen aus Metall ist, daß die Gehäuse wegen des hohen Materialaufwandes und wegen des aufwendigen Herstellungsverfahrens vergleichsweise kostenaufwendig sind. So muß das gegossene oder gepreßte Metallgehäuse mit spanabhebenden Verfahren, beispielsweise durch Bohren, Fräsen oder Drehen, zu seiner endgültigen Form nachbearbeitet werden. Neben den Materialkosten belasten somit die Herstellungskosten den Preis der Pumpen.A disadvantage of the known domestic water pumps with pump housings is made of metal that the housing because of the high Material costs and because of the complex manufacturing process are comparatively expensive. Thats how it is suppost to be cast or pressed metal housing with cutting Processes, for example by drilling, milling or turning, to be reworked to its final form. In addition to the Material costs thus burden the manufacturing costs Pump price.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es ninmehr, eine für den Einsatz in Brauchwassersystemen geeignete Kreiselpumpe zu schaffen, deren Pumpengehäuse kostengünstig ist und die bei einfacher Fertigung eine große Widerstandsfähigkeit gegenüber hohen Drücken und Druckspitzen aufweist.The object of the present invention is no longer one for suitable centrifugal pump for use in service water systems create, the pump housing is inexpensive and at simple manufacturing, great resistance to has high pressures and pressure peaks.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Kreiselpumpe nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a centrifugal pump according to claim 1 solved.

Das einstückig aus Kunststoff gefertigte Pumpengehäuse hat zunächst den großen Vorteil, daß es gegenüber den bislang bekannten Metallgehäusen wegen des billigeren Werkstoffes und wegen des einfachereren Herstellungsprozesses wesentlich kostengünstiger ist. Insbesondere kann bei der Herstellung vollständig auf eine spanabhebende Nacharbeitung verzichtet werden. Das gesamte Pumpengehäuse kann erfindungsgemäß mit allen darin befindlichen Leitungskanälen in nur einem einzigen Spritzvorgang hergestellt werden. Dabei ist das benötigte Spritzwerkzeug vorteilhafterweise so ausgebildet, daß das Pumpengehäuse mit nur einem einzigen Anspritzpunkt gespritzt wird. So kann eine besonders hohe Festigkeit des Pumpengehäuses und damit eine große Zuverlässigkeit der Kreiselpumpe erreicht werden. Das erfindungsgemäße Gehäuse ist besonders leicht und dennoch geeignet, in Brauchwasserpumpen eingesetzt zu werden und den auftretenden Druckspitzen von bis zu 30 bar zu widerstehen.The one-piece plastic pump housing has first of all the great advantage that it is compared to the previously known metal housings because of the cheaper material and because of the simpler manufacturing process is cheaper. In particular, in the manufacture completely without machining become. The entire pump housing can be used according to the invention all the ducting in it in just one Spraying process can be made. It is injection mold required advantageously designed so that the pump housing with only a single injection point is injected. A particularly high strength of the Pump housing and thus a great reliability of the Centrifugal pump can be reached. The housing according to the invention is particularly light and yet suitable in service water pumps to be used and the pressure peaks that occur withstand up to 30 bar.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Pumpe weist das Pumpengehäuse ein zylindrisches die Laufradkammer abdeckendes Abdeckteil auf, das von einem Außengewinde umgeben ist und das zur Halterung des Pumpengehäuses in ein entsprechendes am Motorgehäuse befindliches Innengewinde einschraubbar ist. Diese Art der Verbindung ist besonders stabil und trägt zur Erhöhung der Festigkeit der Pumpe bei. Das Gewinde läßt sich insbesondere mit etwa 67 mm Außendurchmesser und etwa 2,5 mm Steigung so dimensionieren, daß das Pumpengehäuse in die bislang verwendeten Motorgehäuse einschraubbar ist. Somit lassen sich die im Markt befindlichen Pumpen auf einfache Art mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuse aus Kunststoff nachrüsten.In an advantageous embodiment of the pump, this Pump housing a cylindrical covering the impeller chamber Cover part, which is surrounded by an external thread and the to hold the pump housing in a corresponding on Motor housing internal thread is screwed. This type of connection is particularly stable and contributes to Increase the strength of the pump. The thread can be in particular with about 67 mm outer diameter and about 2.5 mm Dimension the slope so that the pump housing in the previously used motor housing is screwable. Consequently the pumps on the market can be easily retrofit with the plastic housing according to the invention.

Um die Festigkeit des Pumpengehäuses weiter zu erhöhen wird die Stirnseite, insbesondere das Abdeckteil mit den direkt angeformten Anschlußstutzen, mit sternförmig angeordneten Versteifungsrippen versehen, die den Einlaßkanal und den Auslaßkanal zumindest bis in die Höhe ihrer Achse einfassen. Diese Rippen schaffen eine zusätzliche Verbindung zwischen den Kanälen einerseits und dem deckelförmigen Pumpengehäuse oder dem Abdeckteil andererseits. Damit verbessern sie die Stabilität des Pumpengehäuses. Die Versteifungsrippen sind, wie dargelegt, radial oder sternförmig ausgerichtet und bedecken das Gehäuse oder das Abdeckteil kuppelartig unter Einschluß der angeformten Kanäle.To further increase the strength of the pump housing the front, especially the cover with the direct molded connection piece, with star-shaped arrangement Stiffening ribs provided that the inlet channel and Hold the outlet duct at least up to the height of its axis. These ribs create an additional connection between the channels on the one hand and the lid-shaped pump housing or the cover part on the other. They improve the Stability of the pump housing. The stiffening ribs are as stated, aligned radially or in a star shape and cover the housing or the cover part like a dome Inclusion of the molded channels.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist das Spritzwerkzeug so konzipiert, daß der einzige Anspritzpunkt auf einem der Leitungskanäle, insbesondere auf der Außenwandung des Einlaßkanals etwa im Zentrum des Pumpengehäuses, angeordnet ist. In diesem Fall verteilt sich der Kunststoff beim Einspritzen nahezu gleichmäßig in einer Fließrichtung vom Anspritzpunkt über die Verstärkungsrippen hin bis zum Boden des Gehäuses, ohne daß Bindenähte entstehen. Solche Bindenähte treten dort auf, wo während des Spritzvorganges zwei Kunststoff ströme aufeinandertreffen. Sie bilden Schwachstellen, da sich an diesen Stoßstellen die im Kunststoff vorhandenen Fasern nicht ineinander verweben können, sondern lediglich der Kunststoff ineinanderfließt oder die Oberflächen des Kunststoffes miteinander verbacken. Die Bindenähte bilden Zonen geringerer Belastungsfähigkeit.In an advantageous embodiment, the injection mold designed so that the only injection point on one of the Line channels, especially on the outer wall of the inlet channel is arranged approximately in the center of the pump housing. In In this case, the plastic is distributed during injection almost evenly in a flow direction from the injection point over the reinforcement ribs to the bottom of the housing, without weld lines. Such weld lines occur there where two plastics flow during the spraying process meet. They form weaknesses because of themselves the fibers present in the plastic do not meet these joints interweave, only the plastic flows into each other or the surfaces of the plastic baked together. The weld lines form zones less Resilience.

Die an das Gehäuse angeformten Stege oder Rippen haben somit einerseits den Zweck, das Gehäuse zu verstärken und dienen andererseits als Leitstrukturen, die eine homogene Verteilung des Kunststoffs in dem Spritzwerkzeug gewährleisten. Wegen des homogenen Fließvorganges in eine Vorzugsrichtung werden Bindenähte vermieden und es entsteht ein widerstandsfähiges Pumpengehäuse aus einem Guß.The webs or ribs formed on the housing thus have on the one hand the purpose of reinforcing and serving the housing on the other hand as lead structures that have a homogeneous distribution ensure the plastic in the injection mold. Because of of the homogeneous flow process in a preferred direction Avoid weld lines and there is a resistant Pump housing from a single source.

Um das Fließen des Kunststoffes vom Anspritzpunkt in den Auslaßstutzen zu begünstigen, ist es vorteilhaft, zwischen beiden Kanälen eine erhabene Verbindungsrippe vorzusehen, die den Fuß des Einlaßkanales mit dem Fuß des Auslaßkanales verbindet und die nahezu in Höhe des Innendurchmessers an der Außenwandung des Auslaßkanales mündet. So kann der Kunstoff vom Anspritzpunkt aus direkt in den Druckstutzen laufen. Neben dem Effekt der Stromleitung bietet die erhabene Rippe eine besondere Versteifung in axialer Richtung der Stutzen und erhöht damit die Stabilität des Pumpengehäuses.In order for the plastic to flow from the injection point into the To favor outlet port, it is advantageous to between provide a raised connecting rib for both channels, the the foot of the inlet duct with the foot of the outlet duct connects and which is almost at the height of the inner diameter on the Outer wall of the outlet channel opens. So the plastic can run directly into the pressure port from the injection point. In addition to the effect of the power line, the raised rib offers a special stiffening in the axial direction of the nozzle and thus increases the stability of the pump housing.

Vorteilhafterweise wird als Kunststoff ein Polyamid (PA) oder ein Polyphenylensulfid (PPS) mit einem Faseranteil von etwa 20 bis 40% verwendet. Dabei kann der Faseranteil aus Glas- oder Kohlefasern bestehen. Diese Kunststoffe zeichnen sich durch eine besonders hohe Festigkeit und Steifigkeit bei geringer Zähigkeit aus. Dabei können sie Temperaturen von bis zu 240° Celsius ertragen und weist zudem eine hohe Beständigkeit gegenüber aggressiven Chemikalien auf. Aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff hergestellte Pumpengehäuse können so konzipiert sein, daß sie die fraglichen Drücke problemlos aushalten.A polyamide (PA) or is advantageously used as the plastic a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) with a fiber content of about 20 to 40% used. The fiber content can be made of glass or Carbon fibers exist. These plastics stand out through a particularly high strength and rigidity low toughness. They can reach temperatures of up to endured to 240 ° Celsius and also has a high resistance against aggressive chemicals. Out Pump housing made of fiber-reinforced plastic can be designed so that they can handle the pressures in question easily withstand.

Vorteilhafterweise werden die Anschlußstutzen am äußeren Rand mit einem Verstärkungsring umgeben, der in einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform aus Metall gefertigt und auf den Außenumfang eines Stutzens aufgepreßt ist. In dieser Ausführungsform können die Rohrleitungen über Innengewinde, die sich innerhalb der Anschlußstutzen befinden, an das Pumpengehäuse angeschlossen werden. Die Abdichtung zwischen den Rohrleitungen und dem Pumpengehäuse kann dabei in bekannter Weise durch Dichtmaterial in der Verschraubung geschehen. Durch das Innengewinde in den Anschlußstutzen wird gewährleistet, daß die bislang bei derartigen Kreiselpumpen benutzte Anschlußnorm beibehalten werden kann. Der Stützring dient dabei zur Aufnahme von Spannungen die innerhalb des Anschlußgewindes entstehen.Advantageously, the connection piece on the outer edge surrounded with a reinforcement ring that is in a special advantageous embodiment made of metal and on the outer circumference of a nozzle is pressed. In this embodiment the piping can have internal threads that are located inside the connecting piece, on the pump housing be connected. The seal between the Pipelines and the pump housing can be known Way done by sealing material in the screw. The internal thread in the connecting piece ensures that previously used in such centrifugal pumps Connection standard can be maintained. The support ring serves to absorb tensions within the Connection thread arise.

Mit dem auf den Kragen aufgebrachten Außengewinde ist das Pumpengehäuse auf einfache Art auf das Motorgehäuse aufschraubbar. Die Abdichtung zwischen dem Pumpengehäuse und dem Motorgehäuse geschieht dabei vorteilhafterweise über einen profilierten Dichtring, insbesondere einen O-Ring der in eine entsprechende die Laufradkammer umgebende Nut eingelegt ist. Durch eine derartige Profildichtung werden die Reaktionskräfte auf die Bauteile wegen der größeren Kompressibilität der Profildichtungen im Gegensatz zu Flachringdichtungen verringert. Mit dem Einsatz profilierter Dichtringe läßt sich eine höhere Druckfestigkeit des Pumpengehäuses bei geringeren wandstärken erreichen. Durch das den Kragen umgebende Außengewinde ist gewährleistet, daß die erfindungsgemäßen Pumpengehäuse sich auf alle die bislang verwendeten Pumpen aufschrauben lassen. Eine Vergrößerung des Anschlußgewindes zum Motorflansch ist beim Einsatz der profilierten Dichtringe nicht nötig, so daß der Austausch von im Markt befindlichen Pumpen ermöglicht wird.With the external thread on the collar, that's it Pump housing can be easily screwed onto the motor housing. The seal between the pump housing and the Motor housing is advantageously done via a profiled sealing ring, in particular an O-ring in a corresponding groove surrounding the impeller chamber is inserted. With such a profile seal, the reaction forces on the components because of the greater compressibility of profile seals in contrast to flat ring seals decreased. With the use of profiled sealing rings a higher pressure resistance of the pump housing with lower reach wall thicknesses. Because of the surrounding External thread ensures that the invention Pump housing on all the pumps used so far screw on. An increase in the connection thread to the motor flange is when using the profiled sealing rings not necessary, so that the exchange of those in the market Pumping is made possible.
