Definitions

  • the diaphragm pump is designed such that deflected by applying an operating voltage, the pumping diaphragm in the position becomes, in which the pumping chamber volume is reduced.
  • the diaphragm pump may be configured such that by applying an actuation voltage, the pumping membrane is deflected to increase the pumping chamber volume. In such embodiments, the pumping membrane may be biased to a position in which the pumping chamber volume is reduced.
  • the piezo membrane transducer can be scaled in terms of large volumes and high pressures.
  • the corresponding geometry parameters of the piezo membrane transducer are the radius R 1 and the thickness h p1 of the piezo membrane.
  • spring-moderated membranes are used in preferred embodiments of the present invention.
  • the limit frequency fg then corresponds at least to the inverse sum of the typical stroke time of the pressure and suction strokes: f G ⁇ 1 2 ⁇ p
  • ⁇ fl denotes the density of the gas, V tot the dead volume of the pumping chamber and p AT the atmospheric pressure (which can typically be assumed to be an atmospheric pressure between 1000 and 1030 hPa).
  • the requirement to reduce the fluidic capacity of potential gas bubbles is therefore equally important with the requirement to reduce the dead volume of the pumping chamber. However, it should be noted here that if the pumping chamber is too narrow, the flow resistance in the pumping chamber will dominate.
  • the natural frequency is independent of the flap width.

Claims (10)

  1. Pompe à membrane (10) aux caractéristiques suivantes:
    une chambre de pompage (26; 56) avec une ouverture d'entrée (28) et une ouverture de sortie (30);
    un clapet anti-retour en silicium passif (32) à l'ouverture d'entrée (28);
    un clapet anti-retour en silicium passif (34) à l'ouverture de sortie (30);
    une pompe à membrane métallique (14; 54) qui est adjacente à la chambre de pompage (26; 56); et
    un moyen d'actionnement (16, 24) destiné à déplacer la membrane de pompe (14; 54) d'une première position finale qui définit un premier volume de chambre de pompage vers une deuxième position finale qui définit un deuxième volume de chambre de pompage, où une différence entre le premier volume de chambre de pompage et le deuxième volume de chambre de pompage établit un volume de course,
    dans laquelle la chambre de pompage (26; 56) présente un fond de chambre de pompage qui est opposé à la membrane de pompe métallique (14; 54), ledit fond de chambre de pompage étant adapté à la déviation maximale de la membrane de pompe (14; 54), un espace restant entre le fond de chambre de pompage et la membrane de pompe (14; 54) lorsque la membrane de pompe se trouve dans la position finale qui définit un volume de chambre de pompage plus petit que l'autre position finale qui offre, pour une circulation à travers cette dernière, une résistance à la circulation qui n'est pas supérieure à une résistance à la circulation du clapet anti-retour passif (34) à l'ouverture de sortie (30) ou à une résistance à la circulation du clapet anti-retour passif (32) à l'ouverture d'entrée (28), et

  4. Pompe à membrane selon la revendication 1, dans laquelle le fond de chambre de pompage est formé de sorte que l'espace qui reste entre le fond de chambre de pompage et la membrane de pompe, lorsque la membrane de pompe se trouve dans la position finale qui définit un volume de chambre de pompage plus petit que l'autre position finale, soit, dans une zone opposée à l'ouverture de sortie (30) et à l'ouverture d'entrée (28), plus grand que dans une zone de la membrane de pompe (14) distante de cette zone.
  5. Pompe à membrane selon l'une des revendications 1 à 4, dans laquelle la chambre de pompage (26; 56) est circulaire en vue en plan, et dans laquelle l'ouverture d'entrée (28) et l'ouverture de sortie (30) sont disposées opposées à une zone centrale de la membrane de pompe (14).
  6. Pompe à membrane selon l'une des revendications 1 à 5, dans laquelle la membrane de pompe métallique (14; 54) présente une membrane en acier inoxydable.
  7. Pompe à membrane selon l'une des revendications 1 à 6, dans laquelle la chambre de pompage est formée dans un corps de pompe (12; 62).
  8. Pompe à membrane selon la revendication 7, dans laquelle le corps de pompe (12; 62) est réalisé en matière plastique.
