Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Hebeeinrichtung zum Abpumpen von verunreinigten flüssigen Medien, wie Kühlschmiermittel unter Verwendung zumindest einer Freistromkreiselpumpe sowie eine Hebeeinrichtung und eine Freistromkreiselpumpe zum Durchführen des Verfahrens.The present invention relates to a method of operating a lifting device for pumping out contaminated liquid media, such as cooling lubricants using at least one free-flow centrifugal pump, and a lifting device and a free-flow centrifugal pump for carrying out the method.
Derartige Verfahren, Hebeeinrichtungen sowie Freistromkreiselpumpen sind in vielfältiger Form und Ausführung im Markt bekannt und gebräuchlich. Im Markt werden bspw. derartige Hebeeinrichtungen mit eingesetzten Freistromkreiselpumpen und anschliessenden Spülrinnen eingesetzt, um insbesondere verunreinigte flüssige Medien, entstehend aus verspanenden Bearbeitungsmaschinen aufzufangen, in der Hebeeinrichtung zu sammeln und mittels der Freistromkreiselpumpe abzupumpen und einer bspw. Reinigungseinrichtung, Filtereinrichtung, Wiederaufbearbeitungseinrichtung od. dgl. zuzuführen.Such methods, lifting devices and free-flow centrifugal pumps are known in many forms and designs in the market and in use. In the market, for example, such lifting devices are used with free-flow centrifugal pumps and subsequent flushing troughs, in particular to collect contaminated liquid media, arising from machine tools, to collect in the lifting device and by means of the freewheeling centrifugal pump and pumping a. For example, cleaning device, filter device, reprocessing device od. Like. Supply.
Nachteilig hierbei ist, dass derartige Hebeeinrichtungen apparativ aufwendig und gross hergestellt werden müssen, so dass noch eine Mindestfüllstandshöhe bei eingesetzten Freistromkreiselpumpen erreicht werden kann, um die verunreinigten Medien abzupumpen.The disadvantage here is that such lifting devices must be made expensive in terms of apparatus and size, so that even a minimum fill level can be achieved with free-flow centrifugal pumps used to pump out the contaminated media.
Durch sich ändernden Anforderungen an moderne Untergrundbeschaffenheitsstrukturen in Fertigungshallen, hinsichtlich Dichtheit, Durchlässigkeit etc., können in herkömmliche Fertigungszentren keine wannenartige Ausformungen mehr eingebracht werden, um entsprechende Hebeeinrichtungen aufzustellen. Heutzutage werden Fertigungsmaschinen niedriger und bedienerfreundlicher hergestellt, so dass auch betreffend die daran anschliessenden Spülrinnen mit anschliessenden Hebebehältern bzw. Hebeeinrichtungen andere Anforderungen gestellt werden.Due to changing requirements of modern underground texture structures in production halls, with regard to impermeability, permeability, etc., no trough-like formations can be introduced into conventional machining centers in order to set up corresponding lifting devices. Today, production machines are made lower and more user-friendly, so that other requirements are also made regarding the subsequent flushing troughs with subsequent lifting containers or lifting devices.
Daher ist es erforderlich, die Mindestbefüllzustände von Hebeeinrichtungen zu reduzieren, um noch herkömmliche Freistromkreiselpumpen einsetzen zu können.Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the minimum filling conditions of lifting devices in order to still be able to use conventional centrifugal pumps.
Ein homogenes Abpumpen von verunreinigten Medien, insbesondere Kühlschmiermittel ist bisher nicht möglich. Es stellt sich daher häufig ein Rückstau in der Kühlschmiermittelrinne ein, wodurch die Spülwirkung für den Spänetransport unterbunden wird und ungleichmässig viel Quantität an Kühlschmiermittel dem zerspanenden Bearbeitungszentrum oder den zerspanenden Bearbeitungsmaschinen zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Daher ist keine homogene Bearbeitung des verunreinigten Mediums, insbesondere flüssigem Kühlschmiermittels sowie auch keine geringe Bevorratung von gereinigtem Kühlschmiermittel möglich, was unerwünscht ist.A homogeneous pumping out of contaminated media, especially cooling lubricant is not possible. Therefore, there is often a backflow in the cooling lubricant channel, whereby the rinsing effect is prevented for the chip transport and uneven amount of quantity of cooling lubricant to the cutting machining center or the cutting processing machines is provided. Therefore, there is no homogeneous processing of the contaminated medium, especially liquid coolant and also no low supply of purified coolant possible, which is undesirable.
Die
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren, sowie eine Hebeeinrichtung und eine Freistromkreiselpumpe zum Durchführen des Verfahrens zu schaffen, mit welchen auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise die vorgenannten Nachteile beseitigt werden können, und in welchen ein homogenes Absaugen von flüssigen verunreinigten Medien, wie Kühlschmiermittel ermöglicht wird. Zudem soll eine Gesamthöhe, insbesondere Einbauhöhe der Hebeeinrichtung bei einem gleichzeitig reduzierten Mindestfüllstand im Hebebehälter möglich sein.The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a method and a lifting device and a free-flow centrifugal pump for carrying out the method with which the aforementioned disadvantages can be eliminated in a simple and cost-effective manner, and in which a homogeneous suction of liquid contaminated media, how cooling lubricant is made possible. In addition, an overall height, in particular installation height of the lifting device should be possible with a simultaneously reduced minimum level in the lifting container.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führen die Merkmale der Kennzeichen der Patentansprüche 1, 2, 11 und 19.To achieve this object, the features of the characteristics of the
Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, die Ansaugöffnung oder einen Ansaugbereich der in eine Hebeeinrichtung eingesetzten Freistromkreiselpumpe zusätzlich vorzugsweise über einen Bypass mit flüssigem Medium, insbesondere Kühlschmiermittel zu versorgen. Dabei ist der Bypass vorzugsweise beabstandet und zentrisch vor der Ansaugöffnung des Pumpengehäuses der Freistromkreiselpumpe angeordnet und führt vorzugsweise permanent flüssiges Medium dem Pumpengehäuse bzw. dem Flügelrad der Freistromkreiselpumpe zu. Hierdurch wird ein permanentes Entlüften bzw. Befüllen des Pumpengehäuses der Freistromkreiselpumpe gewährleistet, wobei ca. 5% bis 15% des gesamten zu fördernden flüssigen Mediums, vorzugsweise 5% bis 10% des flüssigen Mediums bzw. Kühlschmiermittels, welches auch als verunreinigte Fraktion verwendet werden kann, dem Flügelrad bzw. der Ansaugöffnung der Freistromkreiselpumpe zugeführt wird. Hierdurch lässt sich ein Mindestfüllstand der Freistromkreiselpumpe im Betrieb wesentlich reduzieren, und ein homogenes Fördern bzw. Abpumpen von flüssigem Medium stellt sich ein.In the present invention has proved to be particularly advantageous, the suction or a Intake area of the free-flow centrifugal pump used in a lifting device additionally preferably to supply via a bypass with liquid medium, in particular cooling lubricant. In this case, the bypass is preferably spaced and arranged centrally in front of the suction opening of the pump housing of the free-flow centrifugal pump and preferably leads permanently liquid medium to the pump housing or the impeller of the free-flow centrifugal pump. This ensures a permanent venting or filling of the pump housing of the free-flow centrifugal pump, wherein about 5% to 15% of the total liquid medium to be pumped, preferably 5% to 10% of the liquid medium or cooling lubricant, which can also be used as a contaminated fraction , the impeller or the suction port of the free-stream centrifugal pump is supplied. This is possible a minimum level of the free-flow centrifugal pump during operation significantly reduce, and a homogeneous pumping or pumping out of liquid medium adjusts itself.
Es stellen sich keine Druckschwankungen oder unterschiedliche Niveaus im Hebebehälter mehr ein, da die Freistromkreiselpumpe eine permanente homogene Förderleistung erbringt und sich die Schwankungen, durch bisherige angesaugte Nebenluft, nicht mehr einstellen.There are no pressure fluctuations or different levels in the lifting container more, since the free-flow centrifugal pump provides a permanent homogeneous flow and the fluctuations, by previous sucked secondary air, no longer adjust.
Auf diese Weise lässt sich auch eine Bauhöhe der Hebeeinrichtung reduzieren, so dass insgesamt wesentlich niedrigere Hebeeinrichtungen mit anschliessenden Spülrinnen hergestellt werden können. Auch lassen sich hierdurch die nachfolgenden Einrichtungen, wie bspw. Aufbereitungseinrichtungen, Filtereinrichtungen, die verunreinigte flüssige Medien, insbesondere verunreinigtes flüssiges Kühlschmiermittel reinigen, homogener betreiben. Zusätzlich lässt sich auch ein Vorratsbehältnis zum Bereitstellen von gereinigten flüssigem Kühlschmiermittel wesentlich kleiner ausbilden, da ein homogeneres Transportieren und zur Verfügung stellen von Kühlschmiermittel auf diese Weise möglich ist.In this way, a height of the lifting device can be reduced, so that overall much lower lifting devices can be produced with subsequent flushing channels. In addition, the following devices, such as, for example, treatment devices, filter devices which clean contaminated liquid media, in particular contaminated liquid cooling lubricant, can be operated more homogeneously. In addition, a storage container for providing purified liquid coolant can be made much smaller, since a more homogeneous transporting and providing of cooling lubricant in this way is possible.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung soll ferner liegen, dass der Bypass ausserhalb und separat der Freistromstromkreiselpumpe zugeordnet ist. Dieser kann bspw. in einem Wannenboden der Hebeeinrichtung vorgesehen sein. Bei einer liegenden Ausführung der Freistromkreiselpumpe kann der Bypass in eine Saugleitung eingesetzt sein, wobei in allen Ausführungsbeispielen gemeinsam ist, dass eine Auslassöffnung des Bypasses vorzugsweise zentrisch auf die Ansaugöffnung bzw. zentrisch auf das Flügelrad der Freistromkreiselpumpe ausgerichtet ist.In the context of the present invention should also be that the bypass outside and is assigned separately to the free-stream centrifugal pump. This can be provided, for example, in a tub bottom of the lifting device. In a horizontal embodiment of the free-flow centrifugal pump, the bypass may be inserted into a suction line, wherein it is common in all embodiments that an outlet opening of the bypass is preferably centered on the intake or centric on the impeller of the free-flow centrifugal pump.

Gemäss Figur 1 weist eine erfindungsgemässe Hebeeinrichtung R1 eine Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 auf, die in einen Hebebehälter 1 der Hebeeinrichtung R1 einragt.According to Figure 1, an inventive lifting means R 1 has a free-flow centrifugal pump F 1 which projects into a lifting vessel 1 of the lifting device R. 1
Die Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 besitzt eine Antriebseinheit 2, insbesondere Elektromotor, der über eine hier nur angedeutet Antriebswelle 3 ein gestrichelt angedeutetes Flügelrad 4 antreibt. Das Flügelrad 4 sitzt in einem Pumpengehäuse 5, an welches vorzugsweise zentrisch zum Flügelrad 4 in einem unteren Gehäuseteil 6 eine Ansaugöffnung 7 anschliesst.The free-flow centrifugal pump F 1 has a
Vom Pumpengehäuse 5 wird über die Ansaugöffnung 7 flüssiges Medium, insbesondere Kühlschmiermittel angesaugt und über einen Auslass 8 einer weiteren Verwendung wie bspw. Aufbereitungs- oder Reinigungseinrichtung, Filtereinrichtung etc. zugeführt, damit verunreinigte flüssige Medien, bzw. verunreinigtes Kühlschmiermittel gereinigt werden können und danach wieder einer gleichen oder weiteren Verwendung zugeführt werden kann.From the
Zu dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 in einem Hebebehälter 1 lotrecht eingesetzt, an welchen ein Spülrinne 9 anschliesst.For the present embodiment, the free-flow centrifugal pump F 1 is inserted vertically in a lifting container 1, to which a flushing
Von einem hier nicht näher dargestellten Auffangbecken oder Spülrinne 9 selbst, gelangt verunreinigtes flüssiges Medium, insbesondere Kühlschmiermittel, bestehend aus Emulsionen, Ölen, verschmutzten Medien wie Späne, Abrieb od. dgl., bspw. von verspanenden Bearbeitungsmaschinen, wie Drehzentren, Fräszentren etc. in den Hebebehälter 1.Of a catch basin or flushing
Im Hebebehälter 1 sammelt sich im Bereich eines Wannenbodens 10 das Gemisch aus Kühlschmiermittel und Verunreinigungen und wird dort zur weiteren Bearbeitung, insbesondere zur Reinigung mittels der Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 über den Auslass 8 weiter gepumpt bzw. weiter transportiert.In the lifting container 1 collects in the region of a
Bei derartigen Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 ist von Nachteil, dass diese erst einen sehr grossen Füllstand erreichen müssen, bis diese die vollständige Leistung, nach dem Entlüften und Ansaugen von Nebenluft erzielen.In such free-flow centrifugal pump F 1 has the disadvantage that they must first reach a very high level until they achieve the full performance after venting and suction of secondary air.
Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung hat sich als besonderes vorteilhaft erwiesen, an den Wannenboden 10 einen Bypass 11 anzuschliessen, dessen Auslassöffnung 12 vorzugsweise zentrisch zur Ansaugöffnung 7 bzw. zentrisch und in einer gemeinsamen Achse liegend zum Flügelrad 4 der Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 ausgerichtet ist.In the present invention has proven to be particularly advantageous to connect to the
Die Auslassöffnung 12 des Bypasses 11 ist zudem gegenüber im Flügelrad 4 bzw. der Ansaugöffnung 7 der Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 beabstandet.The outlet opening 12 of the
Es hat sich bei der vorliegenden Erfindung als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen, permanent flüssiges Medium, insbesondere Kühlschmiermittel über den Bypass 11 der Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 zuzuführen, so dass sich ein Ansaugen von Nebenluft wesentlich reduzieren lässt, so dass die Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 erheblich schneller auf ihre Maximalleistung kommt und sich ein Mindestfüllstand hierdurch deutlich reduzieren lässt.It has proved particularly advantageous in the present invention to supply permanently liquid medium, in particular cooling lubricant, via the
Dabei wird bei der vorliegenden Erfindung über den Bypass 11 Kühlschmiermittel aus dem gesamten System der Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 permanent zugeführt, wobei die Zufuhr unter einem Druck von etwa 0,2 bar bis 3 bar, vorzugsweise 0,5 bar erfolgt. Ferner wird ein Fördervolumen von etwa 5% bis 15%, vorzugsweise 10% der Gesamtfördermenge der Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 dem Bypass 11 zugeführt, um angesaugte Nebenluft zu verdrängen und einen Mindestfüllstand zu reduzieren.In this case, in the present invention via the
Auf diese Weise lässt sich ein homogenes Ansaugen von flüssigen Medien, insbesondere Kühlschmiermittel mit Verunreinigungen gewährleisten, ohne dass sich Kühlschmiermittel bzw. das flüssige Medium in der Spülrinne 9 anstaut, bis die Freistromkreiselpumpe F1 entlüftet ist und die Nebenluft aus dieser abgeführt ist. Dies führt zu einem wesentlich homogeneren Bereitstellen von Kühlschmiermitteln.In this way, a homogeneous suction of liquid media, in particular cooling lubricants with impurities can be ensured without coolant or the liquid medium accumulates in the flushing
In dem Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung gemäss Figur 2 ist eine Hebeeinrichtung R2 aufgezeigt, bei welcher eine Freistromkreiselpumpe F2 auf einem Untergrund 13 in einer liegenden Ausführung angeordnet ist. An deren Ansaugöffnung 7 schliesst eine Saugleitung 14 an, die mit der Spülrinne 9 in Verbindung steht.In the embodiment of the present invention according to Figure 2, a lifting device R 2 is shown, in which a free-flow centrifugal pump F 2 on a
Wie in dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Figur 2 angedeutet, schliesst an die Saugleitung 14 ein Bypass 11 an, der in oben beschriebener Weise einen Teilstrom an flüssigem Medium, insbesondere Kühlschmiermittel der Ansaugöffnung 7 bzw. des Flügelrades 4 der Freistromkreiselpumpe F2 zuführt. Vorzugesweise ist die Auslassöffnung 12 bzw. der Bypass 11 auf das Flügelrad 4 zentrisch und in einer Achse liegend ausgerichtet, so dass hierüber in oben beschriebener Weise flüssiges Medium bzw. Kühlschmiermittel der Freistromkreiselpumpe F2 permanent zugeführt werden kann, um zu entlüften bzw. ein Ansaugen von Nebenluft zu vermindern, wobei ein Wirkungsgrad der Freistromkreiselpumpe F1, insbesondere der Hebeeinrichtung R2 wesentlich verbessert wird.As indicated in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, a
In dem Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung gemäss Figur 3 ist eine Freistromkreiselpumpe F3 herkömmlicher Art aufgezeigt, bei welcher in einem Pumpengehäuse 5, insbesondere in einem unteren Gehäuseteil 6 zumindest eine oder eine Mehrzahl von Bypässen 11 an unterschiedlichen Orten anschliessen bzw. angeschlossen werden können, um in oben beschriebener Weise Nebenluft beim Ansaugen von flüssigem Medium zu reduzieren bzw. die Freistromkreiselpumpe F3 zu entlüften.In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention according to FIG. 3, a free-flow centrifugal pump F 3 of conventional type is shown in which at least one or a plurality of
Auf diese Weise lässt sich auch ein Mindestfüllstand zum Betreiben der Freistromkreiselpumpe F3 erheblich reduzieren.In this way, a minimum level for operating the free-flow centrifugal pump F 3 can be significantly reduced.
Ferner soll im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung liegen, dass zusätzlich oberhalb des Flügelrades 4, und oberhalb des Pumpengehäuses 5 in einem Zwischengehäuse 15, insbesondere bei Unterdruck zusätzlich Sperrflüssigkeit, bspw. als reines Kühlschmiermittel über eine separate Zuführleitung 16 zugeführt werden kann, so dass ein Ansaugen von Nebenluft im lagerseitigen Bereich der Antriebswelle 3 zusätzlich vermieden bzw. reduziert wird.Furthermore, it should be within the scope of the present invention that additionally above the
Dies soll ebenfalls im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung liegen.This should also be within the scope of the present invention.
Wichtig ist jedoch bei der vorliegenden Erfindung, dass insbesondere der Bypass 11 vorzugsweise zentrisch vor der Ansaugöffnung 7 der Freistromkreiselpumpe F3 zugeordnet werden kann oder direkt in den unteren Gehäuseteil 6 des Pumpengehäuses 5 einmündet, so dass die Auslassöffnung 12 des Bypasses 11 auf das Flügelrad 4 der Freistromkreiselpumpe F3 ausgerichtet ist.
