- a discontinuous, especially pulsating, fluid flow in the lumen of at least sections esp. elastic, deformable flow vessel, e.g. one Hose.
- DE-A 196 47 882, US-A 49 09 710, US-A 51 65 873, US-A 51 73 038, US-A 52 63 830, US-A 53 40 290, US-A 56 83 233, US-A 57 01 646, US-A 58 71 341, US-A 58 88 052, WO-A 97/41 353 and WO-A 98/31 935 one device each for generating and guiding one discontinuous fluid flow shown which Device a positive displacement pump with at least one Guiding the fluid flow serving flow vessel from deformable lumen and with a pump drive for shaping of the lumen of the flow vessel.
- the pump drive works when the displacement pump is operating in sections leading to the fluid Flow vessel that it is temporarily in the lumen, esp. oscillating, deforming and thus directed the fluid transporting displacer movements is offset.
- Positive displacement pumps are each peristaltic Displacer movements by one on the flow vessel adjacent, non-circular cylindrical surface of one Pump drive generated that rotates about an axis of rotation, while in US-A 51 65 873, US-A 52 63 830, US-A 56 83 233, US-A 58 88 052 and WO-A 98/31 935 Displacement movements caused by linear shear movements against the pump drive comprising a thrust ram executes the flow vessel.
- the drive motor for the pump drive is usually an electric motor used by means of a drive shaft is mechanically coupled directly to the pump drive.
- the drive motor and pump drive can also have one Gear or a belt transmission mechanically be coupled to each other.

- an electric motor can, e.g. described in WO-A 98/31 935 pneumatic or hydraulic piston motor as Drive motor for generating linear slide thrust movements be used.
- Displacement pumps of the type described are due to a essentially homogeneous, smooth inner wall of the flow vessel and due to the lack of in the Fluid flow rotating drive elements especially for suitable for such applications where the fluid leading lumen of the flow vessel high chemical and / or biological purity requirements are made.
- Positive displacement pumps are therefore e.g. often in samplers for chemical-biological analyzes, especially in drinking or in Sewage area, used. For example, in US-A 55 87 926 and US-A 57 01 646 corresponding samplers each shown a positive displacement pump.

- a corresponding Evaluation electronics convert the drive signal into the Volume flow and / or the delivered fluid volume representing measuring signals converted.
- the drive movement and therefore also that of the drive signal derived measurement signals are, however, only representative for the volume flow, if on the one hand Flow vessel in a known manner, especially completely, is filled with liquid, and if on the other hand between the pump drive and the drive motor no slip occurs.
- the latter is e.g. at a Driving belt connection or one on the drive shaft only pressed pump drive possible without further ado.
- the way of filling the flow vessel in turn is to a large extent from its current installation position, especially depending on a current suction height.
- This can a priori, e.g. during commissioning, determined and as a setting in the evaluation electronics be deposited without further notice; at, esp. mobile, samplers, however, is the installation position highly variable, i.e. for each Redetermine the application and save it if necessary.

- the displacement movement is practically a wave movement of a wall of the flow vessel 13 and thus of the lumen 13A enclosed by it, a running speed of the wave movement setting the volume flow, cf. Fig. 4.
- the pump drive 12 acts, as shown schematically in FIG. 4, with a temporally and locally, especially periodically, variable compression force F on the flow vessel 13, specifically in such a way that the flow vessel 13 within a pumping compression range and thus its lumens 13A are displaced in a fluid-displacing manner, in particular elastically.
- This is achieved in the positive displacement pump 1 of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 2, 3 in that the pump drive 12 with a non-circular cross-section is allowed to roll on the flow vessel 13 and thus the flow vessel 13, which is supported against the carrier means 11, is periodically compressed and allowed to relax becomes.

- the measuring arrangement 2 comprises, in a first variant of the invention, a pressure sensor 21 ′ which contacts the fluid, in particular capacitive or resistive, which, as shown schematically in FIG. especially static, first pressure p 1 in lumen 13A reacts.
- the pressure sensor 21 has at least one pressure measuring chamber which is insulated from the lumen 13A by means of at least one pressure membrane and is pressurized with the pressure p 1 during operation via this at least one pressure membrane.
- the pressure p 1 to be detected is practically an instantaneous internal pressure set by means of the displacement pump 1 in an inlet-side area of the flow vessel 13, which is in a calibratable dependence on an instantaneous operating state of the device, for example the instantaneous installation position and / or filling of the Flow vessel and / or the instantaneous frequency of the displacer movements s 13 .
- pressure p 1 is at least temporarily, in particular even when the flow vessel 13 is not filled with liquid, to a range from 200 hPa to 400 hPa (0.2 bar to 0.4 bar) and thus lower than one from the outside static second pressure p 2 acting on the flow vessel 13 is set.
- the pressure p 2 can be, for example, an atmospheric air pressure of approx. 1000 hPa.
- the measuring arrangement 2 serves in particular to detect the pressure p 1 and to map it into the sensor signal x 21 when the pressure p 1 is currently set lower than the pressure p 2 .

- a section of the flow vessel 13, as shown schematically in FIG. 4 is preferably designed as an adapter.
- the measuring arrangement 2 comprises a piezo-resistive strain sensor 21 ′′, especially fixed directly on the carrier 11, which, as shown schematically in FIG. 5, caused one of the displacer movements s 13 of the flow vessel 13 Elongation of the carrier means 11 is detected and converted into the sensor signal x 21 .
- a strain, speed or acceleration sensor that also detects the strain relatively or absolutely can also serve as the strain sensor 21 ′′.
- the compression force F of the pump drive 12 acting on the flow vessel 13 is partially converted into a compression spring force acting on the carrier means 11, whereby the carrier means 11 is also deformed in sections, in particular elastically.
- the carrier 11 experiences a measurable elongation, the extent of which is determined in particular by the instantaneous pressure p 1 in the lumen 13A of the flow vessel 13.
- the compression spring force and thus also the elongation of the carrier means 11 also depend, for example, on the material, in particular on its elasticity module, and / or a current spatial shape of the flow vessel 13.
- This dependence of the deformation of the carrier means 11 can be determined precisely by means of corresponding calibration measurements, in which the flow vessel 13 is filled with corresponding liquids or left empty, for example in a defined manner, and a corresponding instantaneous signal value of the sensor signal x 21 as a reference value for the instantaneous filling in the evaluation Electronics 22 is stored.

- Switched capacitor filters and / or voltage-controlled active filters, for example, can be used as the bandpass circuit 220.
- the bandpass circuit 220 and the frequency counter circuit 221 convert the sensor signal x 21 into an, especially digital, first measurement signal x 221 , a current signal value X ⁇ of the measurement signal x 221 representing the frequency of the displacement movement s 13 of the displacement movement s 13 represents.
- the bandpass circuit 220 serves in particular to remove constant components of the sensor signal x 21 and to suppress higher-frequency interference voltages.
- the bandwidth of the bandpass circuit 220 is accordingly set such that any changes in the frequency of the displacement movement s 13 , for example due to load-related fluctuations in the engine speed, do not lead to a blockage of the sensor signal x 21 .
- this frequency changes operationally in a wide range, for example ⁇ 5 s -1
- the bandwidth of the bandpass circuit 220 in particular configured as a switched capacitor circuit, can also be changed, for example by means of an evaluation Electronics 22 generated, current setting value for the engine speed, are tracked.
- the setting value can be derived, for example, from a drive signal tapped directly on the drive motor in the manner mentioned above.
- the volume flow of a transported liquid depends on the specific implementation of the displacement pump 1, namely the design of the pump drive 12 and the flow vessel 13, and on the frequency of the displacement movements s 13 .
- the instantaneous volume flow is also also determined by a suction height determined by an instantaneous spatial distance between the displacer pump and a liquid level.
- this suction height is to be determined accordingly when the device is started up and stored in the evaluation electronics 22 as a fixed value K h .
- K 1 is a constant which conveys the dependence of the volume flow on the frequency of the displacer movement s 13 and on the current suction height, in particular to be determined by calibration. If necessary, the flow estimate X v can of course also be approximated by means of a higher order polynomial.
- the flow estimate X v can advantageously be derived practically directly from the measurement signal x 221 .
- the volume flow is practically proportional to four times the frequency of the displacement movement s 13 .
- the flow estimate X v must be integrated in a corresponding manner only over the duration of the delivery, for example by multiplying it or by multiplying it by a number of measured zero crossings of the bandpass-filtered sensor signal at the output of the bandpass circuit 220.
- the instantaneous suction height must be updated accordingly for a more precise determination of the flow estimate X v .

- the low-pass circuit 222 has a cut-off frequency, for example 0.5 Hz to 2 Hz, which is set much lower than the frequency of the displacement movement s 13 .
- the sensor signal x 21 practically only allows a signal component with a frequency zero, serving as the measurement signal x 222 , that is to say a current mean value of the sensor signal x 21 to pass through the low-pass circuit 222.
- a currently transmitted mean value of the sensor signal x 21 serves as a measured value X h representing the current suction height.
- the pressure p 1 detected by the sensor 21 would decrease and the sensor signal x 21 would have a correspondingly lower mean value; analogously to this, the sensor signal x 21 has an increasing mean value with decreasing suction height.
- the evaluation electronics 22 serve to derive from the sensor signal x 21 a third measurement signal x 223 representing a degree of filling of the flow vessel 13 with liquid.
- the sensor signal x 21 according to FIG. 6 is fed via a bandpass circuit 220 to a rectifier circuit 223, which supplies the measurement signal x 223 inform of a DC voltage on the output side, a current signal value of the measurement signal x 223 serving as an estimate for the current filling level ; if necessary, a corresponding direct current can of course also serve as measurement signal x 223 .

- the sensor signal x 21 generated by means of the pressure sensor 21 'according to the first and / or according to the second variant of the invention can advantageously also be used to generate a status signal Z, in particular a digital one, by means of the evaluation electronics 22 The current operating status of the positive displacement pump 1 is signaled.
- the evaluation electronics 22 therefore, as shown schematically in FIG. 7, have a first Schmitt trigger 224 which converts the measurement signal x 221 from the frequency counter circuit 221 into a binary one first monitoring signal x 221 'converted.
- the measurement signal x 221 is compared with a frequency reference value of the Schmitt trigger 224, which is set such that the monitoring signal x 221 'assumes a high level when the frequency of the displacement movement s 13 is greater than or equal to one in steady-state operation Displacement pump 1 is the minimum frequency.
- the frequency reference value can be determined and set during the commissioning for the positive displacement pump 1, which for this purpose is subjected, for example, to a maximum load to be expected during operation.
- the mean value of the sensor signal x 21 currently transmitted via low-pass circuit 222 according to FIG. 7 is applied to a second Schmitt trigger 225 of the evaluation electronics 22 on the input side.
- a binary second monitoring signal x 222 'of the evaluation electronics 22 can be tapped at the output of the Schmitt trigger 225.
- the monitoring signal x 222 ' serves to signal whether the pressure p 1 falls below a pressure reference value set on the Schmitt trigger 225 or not.
- the pressure reference value is set so that the monitoring signal x 222 'assumes a high level when the pressure p 1 is less than or equal to the pressure value which occurs during the operation of the displacement pump 1 within an intact and in the manner described above the liquid extraction point communicating flow vessel 13 at most; otherwise the monitoring signal x 222 'assumes a low level.
- the evaluation electronics 22, as shown in FIG. 7, comprise a third Schmitt trigger 226, to which the measurement signal x 223 is initially applied.
- a corresponding filling reference value of the Schmitt trigger 226 is set here such that a binary third monitoring signal x 223 'supplied on the output side assumes a high level if the flow vessel 13 is filled with at least a predetermined minimum volume of the liquid to be conveyed; otherwise, especially if there is an increased formation of air bubbles in the fluid, the monitoring signal has a low level.
- the filling reference value to be set can be determined, for example, by means of a corresponding calibration measurement and set during commissioning.
- the monitoring signal x 221 ', the monitoring signal x 222 ' and / or the monitoring signal x 223 ' is, if necessary via an analog-to-digital converter, fed to the microcomputer 227 of the evaluation electronics 22.
- the status signal Z can be output sequentially or in parallel via the output port, for example to a display unit of the device used to visualize the current operating state.
- the status signal Z can also be applied to control electronics for the positive displacement pump which, for example, switches off the positive displacement pump 1 in the event of an error in the device detected by the measuring arrangement 2 '.
