Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vibration pump adapted to increase the pressure of a liquid in a duct.
  • vibration pumps are very inexpensive and compact as well as simple in their operating principle and therefore in their manufacture, and this makes them reliable.
  • they are not able to generate high pressures and therefore are generally characterized by relatively modest heads.
  • the most suitable circuit and therefore the one most widely used to generate a magnetic field H, is the circuit constituted by a solenoid with a number N of turns, i.e., a conductor in which the electric current i that flows through it makes a number N of complete turns in the same direction.
  • the magnetomotive force f mm is the product N ⁇ i and indicates that the force associated with the magnetic field is proportional both to the intensity of the current i and to the number N of turns of the solenoid winding.
  • the solenoid has the classic rectilinear shape, the magnetomotive force f mm generated by the current that flows through it acts in the internal axial region of the rectilinear solenoid.
  • a magnetic field is generated which is similar to the one generated by the presence of a pair of magnetic poles N-S, whose orientation depends, in a known manner, on the direction in which the current i flows through the solenoid.
  • the conventional devices that constitute the background art of vibration pumps provide for the presence of a so-called moving core, i.e., an element made of ferromagnetic material, which is arranged inside a rectilinear solenoid as described above and is crossed by a current i.
  • a so-called moving core i.e., an element made of ferromagnetic material, which is arranged inside a rectilinear solenoid as described above and is crossed by a current i.
  • Said moving core is a vector quantity and so is the current i that generates it, if the current i is a direct current, the magnetomotive force f mm is unidirectional, whereas if the current i is a sinusoidal alternating current, the magnetomotive force f mm that it generates is likewise of the sinusoidal alternating type.
  • an alternating current produces a back-and-forth motion of the moving core, and this motion can be conveniently utilized to provide the suction-pressure effect of a vibration pump in which the moving core assumes the function of a suction and delivery piston.
  • Ferromagnetic materials have values of ⁇ r that can reach into the tens of thousands, and therefore the presence of an appropriately selected ferromagnetic material arranged inside the magnetic field H generated by a solenoid increases the value of said induction.
  • One solution adopted in known devices to further increase the effectiveness of the magnetic induction B consists in placing cylindrical bushes of ferromagnetic material proximate to the ends of the solenoid and coaxially to said solenoid. Said magnetic bushes increase the N-S polarization effect of the magnetic field, increasing the traction force that acts on the moving core that can slide inside the solenoid and inside said magnetic bushes. This increases the suction-pressure effect of the pump.
  • fluid flow control means i.e., flow control or on-off valves that alternately control or cut off the intake and the outlet and are arranged respectively near the suction and delivery ducts or are both arranged near just one of the ducts, either the suction duct or the delivery duct, and are also arranged outside the solenoid of the coil.
  • the fluid flow control valves are usually kept in the sealing position by springs that have an appropriately selected rigidity.
  • Some conventional devices use, as intake and delivery valves, mushroom-shaped gaskets mounted on the sealing springs described above. These mushroom gaskets have a hemispherical cross-section, which abuts in order to close the intake or delivery duct, respectively, on a surface that is appropriately step-shaped or otherwise provided with a sharp edge.
  • the need to shape the intake and delivery channels, respectively, with sharp edges introduces a further complication in the design of said device.
  • the fact of having to provide a hemispherical gasket that abuts against a sharp-edged sealing surface further entails the additional disadvantage of making said gasket more exposed to damage; for example, the gaskets can retain the impression of the metallic sealing seat, and if said impression no longer mates exactly with the corresponding seat, for example due to axial misalignments of said gasket, sealing problems can arise.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a vibration pump that is capable of eliminating or reducing the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a vibration pump that has no ferromagnetic bushes, at the same time achieving the same function performed by said bushes in increasing magnetic induction.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a vibration pump device that is based on the operating principle of electric valves, so that it is possible to provide synergies and economies of scale that can be utilized in industrial production.
  • a vibration pump that comprises a coil of a known type that is provided with a rectilinear solenoid winding of N turns with a longitudinal axis, a suction duct that is coaxial to said longitudinal axis, a delivery duct that is also coaxial to said longitudinal axis, first and second valve means adapted to control the flow of the passing fluid respectively in the suction duct and in the delivery duct, further comprising, inside the coil and coaxially thereto, a moving core made of ferromagnetic material, which comprises a duct of the moving core that is closed at its upper end by an insert provided with an axial duct.
  • the moving core is supported by a sleeve that is made of a non-ferromagnetic material and is also coaxial to the coil, and the core is free to move axially inside the sleeve.
  • the vibration pump according to the present invention is characterized in that it further comprises a fixed core, which is also made of ferromagnetic material and is arranged at one of the ends of the solenoid of the coil and is adapted to increase the magnetic induction of the circuit when the coil is crossed by an electric current i , the fixed core being further capable of acting as a magnetic attraction pole for the moving core, and is further characterized in that the second valve means are arranged inside the moving core.
  • the vibration pump 1 comprises a coil 7, which is constituted by the winding of N turns, which is supplied with a current i , generating a magnetic field H.
  • the coil 7 is preferably constituted by a copper winding, by an armature generally made of galvanized steel, and by insulating parts usually made of plastics, as is known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the coil 7 is preferably keyed or splined and retained by the elastic ring 4 on the sleeve 12, which is made of non-ferromagnetic material, for example brass or plastics, and is screwed onto the suction coupling 2, also made of non-ferromagnetic material.
  • the vibration pump according to the invention has an axial symmetry with respect to the axis of symmetry A of the solenoid, and in particular the flow of liquid occurs in ducts that are coaxial to said axis A.
  • the spacer 13 is provided axially with a central supporting hole 13a and with a plurality of fluid passage holes 13b, which are arranged around the central hole 13a.
  • First valve means are interposed between the suction duct 2b and the spacer 13 inside said spacer 13 and more specifically at the central supporting hole 13a, and are constituted, in the embodiment of Figure 1, by a first gasket 3, preferably made of elastomer, which is umbrella-shaped, with a stem 3a provided with a bulge 3b at its free end. Said stem 3a is inserted in the central supporting hole 13a until it blocks the first gasket 3 in the correct position, which remains set by the interlocking of the bulge 3b.
  • the upper flap 3c of the umbrella-shaped gasket 3 rests on the internal surface of the spacer 13, so as to cover the fluid passage holes 13b.
  • the moving core 9 made of ferromagnetic stainless steel is instead arranged inside the sleeve 12.
  • the moving core 9 is substantially shaped like a hollow cylinder and is provided internally with a chamber or duct 9c.
  • second valve means are provided, which are arranged inside said moving core 9 and are constituted, in the illustrated embodiment, by a second gasket 5, which is fully similar to the first gasket 3.
  • said second gasket is umbrella-shaped, with a stem 5a that ends with a bulge 5b and an upper flap 5c.
  • Said stem 5 a is inserted in the supporting hole 9d until it locks the second gasket 5 in the correct closure position, which is defined by the interlocking of the bulge 5b.
  • the upper flap 5c of the umbrella-shaped gasket 5 rests on the inner surface of the moving core 9 so as to cover the fluid passage holes 9a. With this umbrella-like shape of the second gasket 5, when the upper flap 5c rests on the fluid passage holes 9a, passage of the fluid from below above said gasket 5 is prevented. In order to allow the passage of the fluid, the upper flap 5c must rise, leaving the fluid passage holes 9a open.
  • the insert 6 is crossed internally by an axial duct 6a, and in addition to closing in an upward region the moving core 9, acts as a support for a spring 10 preferably made of stainless steel.
  • the sleeve 12 is closed by the fixed core 11, which also acts as a delivery duct, since it is axially provided with the delivery duct 11a.
  • Said spring 10 acts between the insert 6 rigidly coupled to the moving core 9 and the fixed core 11.
  • annular gasket 17 preferably made of PTFE.
  • the coil 7 is of a known type and is fully similar to the coils used for electric valves.
  • the coil 7 When the coil 7 is supplied with AC voltage, it generates a magnetic field that moves, likewise with an alternating motion, the moving core 9.
  • the spring 10 preferably made of stainless steel, is interposed between the moving core 9 and the fixed core 11 and acts along the common axis A of the two cores, contrasting their mutual approach. In this manner, the number of times the moving core 9 is attracted by the fixed core 11 during an operating cycle is doubled, and the spring 10 interposed between the two cores is used to apply the force that mutually spaces said cores.
  • the spring 10 by compressing due to the approach of the moving core 9 to the fixed core 11, reaches a load that exceeds the traction force applied by the magnetic field, it repels the moving core 9, moving it away from the fixed core 11.
  • the operating principle as described above therefore, entails that at every half cycle a transfer of water occurs above the second gasket 5 and in the next half cycle water is transferred or overflowed from this region outside the pump.
  • a double-lip elastomer gasket 8 preferably of the self-lubricated type, is further provided above the spacer 13 and ensures the seal between the stem 9b of the moving core 9 and the chamber 12a that is formed in the part below the sleeve 12, and inside which the spacer 13 is keyed.
  • the double-lip gasket 8 is free to perform a translational motion within the portion of the chamber 12a that is comprised between the stem 9b of the moving core 9 and the spacer 13.
  • the shape, position and mobility described for the double-lip gasket 8 optimize the interplay of pressures that leads to the aspiration of the water in the suction duct 2b and to its compression in the delivery duct 11a.
  • the double-lip gasket 8 prevents the liquid located above the second gasket 5 from flowing back downwardly, flowing in the gap between the moving core 9 and the sleeve 12, while during delivery, when the liquid is transferred from the duct 9c above the second gasket 5, it prevents said liquid from being propelled upwardly, passing outside the moving core 9.
  • the vibration pump described above allows to amplify the effect of the magnetic field generated by the solenoid crossed by current without having to resort to bushes that are coaxial with the sleeve 12. In this manner, the device is smaller, lighter and compact.
  • the fixed core 11 is used both as an element for amplifying the magnetic field and as a delivery duct, again achieving an optimization of weights and dimensions, to the benefit of structural simplicity.
  • umbrella-shaped gaskets are used as valve means and act according to their deformability and shape, which is studied and sized according to the pressure forces involved. This, as mentioned, allows to avoid all the drawbacks noted above and associated with the use of valve means supported by elastic springs, above all the size and sealing problems associated with the choice of the rigidity of the springs and the complication of the design of the regions of the pump against which the gasket abuts, with a consequent simplification of the constructive design of said pump and of its assembly.
  • vibration pump according to the invention uses coils of the type normally used for similar devices, in particular to provide electric valves, and therefore it is possible to associate the production of the device according to the invention with the production of known types of device, providing advantageous economies of scale.
