Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a motor pump of the hydraulic-electromagnetic type with floating piston.
  • the present invention refers to a motor pump of the hydraulic-electromagnetic type with floating piston, particularly suitable for the use in the fluid motion, especially water.
  • This type of motor pumps is applied to various apparatuses such as irons, electric coffee machines, steam generators, irrigation systems and also in the automotive industry.
  • EP1205663 discloses a motor pump of the hydraulic-electromagnetic type with floating piston having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the operation of said motor pumps is based on the presence of a coil that cooperates with a couple of magnetic bearings; the coil is electrically powered and causes the axial movement of the floating piston or delivery piston with an alternate motion.
  • the coil is placed outside the body of the motor pump, while the magnetic bearings are positioned in an annular seat formed between the same coil and a sleeve housing said piston.
  • Said piston is elastically supported by opposite helical springs that are alternatively compressed during the floating in order to allow the passage of the fluid from the inlet duct to the delivery one.
  • Known valves, rings and rubber gaskets associated to the piston and to the relevant sleeve assure the seal of the fluid moving inside the body of the motor pump.
  • an object of the present invention is to remove the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • object of the present invention is the provision of a motor pump of the hydraulic-electromagnetic type as specified in claim 1 with floating piston wherein the pressure level of the delivery fluid can be increased without oversizing the coil with a subsequent increase of its dimensions and production costs.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a motor pump of the above-mentioned type that can guarantee a high resistance and reliability level in time and it is easily manufactured.
  • an object of the present invention relies in providing a motor pump with enhanced magnetic efficiency, or in other words in providing a pump with better performance with minimum magnetic material employment.
  • the present invention is intended to provide for a motor pump wherein operating noise is minimized.
  • the motor pump of the present invention marked in its whole with 10 in Figure 2 , comprises: an inlet duct 44'; an opposite outlet duct 36; a container body 12 which is partly delimited, in its external part, by a coil 14; a couple of opposite magnetic bearings 46, 46' that are spaced between them and placed between the body 12 and the coil 14; a delivery piston 16 that is placed in the body 12, slides in it and it is elastically supported by a front helical spring 20 and by a rear helical spring 20'.
  • a seal valve 24 of the delivery piston 16 is commonly placed.
  • the seal valve 24 cooperates with a support bearing 28 and with a rubber gasket 30 that is elastically tensioned by a further helical spring 32.
  • the spring 32 and, partly, the rubber gasket 30 are housed inside a seat of the delivery duct 22 whose diameter is fit to house the ensemble formed by the rubber gasket 30 and by the helical spring 32 and it is generally higher than the one of the outlet duct or hole 36 of the delivery duct 22.
  • a locking ring 38 having a flanged configuration and engaging with a matching part (e.g. via a snap-on fitting or the like) that is threaded in the outer part of the container body 12 is put on said duct 22.
  • the tubular-shaped container body 12 comprises a front part with a higher diameter that faces the outlet duct 36; an adjacent intermediate part with a lower diameter than the one of the front part itself delimiting the sliding axial chamber of the piston 16 and a terminal part 44 whose diameter is lower than the one of the intermediate part that defines the inlet duct 44'.
  • the opposite magnetic bearings 46 and 46' that may be mutually spaced with the use of a spacing element if necessary, are fit on the external side surface of the intermediate part of the body 12; the coil 14 is in its turn fit on the body 12 so that it can comprise bearings 46, 46'.
  • the coil 14 is stabilized with means that are for instance made of a shaped elastic ring that matches with a face of the coil and a shoulder placed on the body 12 between the front part and the intermediate part with a lower diameter that matches with the opposite face.
  • a magnetic bushing 52 preferably made of steel with a low magnetic residual content, is advantageously placed inside the container body 12 in the central-lower part facing the inlet duct 44'.
  • the magnetic bushing 52 presents an upper tapered portion 52' facing the delivery piston 16 in operative conditions; at the same time, the delivery piston 16 presents a tapered lower inner portion 16'.
  • the lower inner portion 16' is counter-shaped to said upper tapered portion 52': this is evident in figure 2 , wherein it is shown that the slopes of the two mutually facing tapered portions are equal.
  • the external side surface of said magnetic bushing 52 has differentiated diameters and defines a rear area that faces the duct 44' with a diameter that is equal or slightly lower than the internal one of the intermediate part of the body 12 and an adjacent front area facing the outlet hole or duct 36 with a lower diameter.
  • the rear area and the front area of the magnetic bushing 52 form a matching shoulder for the rear spring 20', and the lower end of the magnetic bushing 52 matches with the body 12 in the intermediate part near the narrowing of the terminal part 44 that defines the inlet duct 44'.
  • the axial sliding return of the piston 16 is obtained by means such as the couple of helical springs 20 and 20' previously described that cooperate with the piston.
  • Powering of the coil 14 is obtained, for example, by a couple of electric connections of the fast-on type.
  • the motor pump object of the present invention is highly efficient thanks to the presence of the magnetic bushing 52: more in detail, the magnetic bushing 52, that is aligned with the sliding axis of the piston 16 with one of its ends, is located close to the piston (and therefore at a lower distance between the latter and one of the two magnetic bushings 46, 46'), so it can be dynamically placed in the position reached by the piston 16 during the loading of the rear spring 20' (generally near the terminal part 44 of the body 12).
  • the interaction between the bushing 52 and the two bearings 46, 46' creates a magnetic field whose intensity is higher than the one of the two bearings 46, 46' only and it therefore increases the magnetic attraction force exerted on the piston 16 and the one exerted on the fluid going out of the delivery duct 22.
  • the magnetic bushing 52 is preferably made of steel with a low magnetic residual content.
  • the motor pump may also comprise spacer means operatively acting between the delivery piston 16 and the magnetic bushing 52, so as to keep a minimum non-zero distance between the piston 16 and the bushing 52 during oscillatory motion of the piston 16 itself.
  • the presence and function of the just cited spacer means is directed to avoid mutual contact of the piston 16 and of the bushing 52 during the highfrequency oscillation of the piston 16: by avoiding such repeated contact, a significant noise suppression during motor pump operation is achieved.
  • the spacer means may be realized in many ways, provided that they fulfill the just described technical task: for example, the spacer means may comprise the rear spring 20' (whose elastic constant may be suitably chosen) and/or means for imparting a predetermined pre-load to the rear spring 20' itself.
  • the distance between the piston 16 and the bushing 52 may be measured at correspondingly coaxial points on the sloped/tapered surface, or it may be measured between two coaxial points located on the central portion of the facing surfaces of the piston 16 and of the bushing 52.
  • the spacer means may be set into operation independently from the shape of the piston 16 and/or of the bushing 52; more in particular, the just described spacer means may be present in a motor pump even if the lower inner portion 16' and/or the upper tapered portion 52' are not present.
  • the invention achieves significant advantages.
  • the peculiar geometry of the just cited tapered portions allows a better interfacing of the mobile parts of the pump (with respect to the "fixed” parts), and thereby reduces mechanical stresses and wearing.
  • the motor pump manufactured according to the above description does not imply impediments or additional costs caused by the size increase of the coil and of the relevant wiring coils, while the magnetic bushing 52 can be easily obtained and installed at a low cost.
