Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering device for conveying highly viscous media according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a dossier with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is by the document US 5 174 725 A known.
  • Generic metering devices are used to empty containers, such as barrels with high-viscosity media.
  • these metering devices which contain an integrated pump, instead of the lid are introduced into the container. This lid rests on the medium and lowers with decreasing liquid level.
  • a positive displacement pump or auger pump is used for the main focus of the demand on a conveying effect, or a positive displacement pump is used for the main focus of the requirement for a metering effect.
  • the patent EP 0 991 806 B1 describes a removal device with screw pump in which a stirring propeller shears the medium to be removed and thus reduces the viscosity before it is conveyed by the screw pump.
  • the US 6,039,545 shows a metering device on the basis of a gear pump, in which also in the intake of the gear pump here a smaller propeller is provided, which also has a promotional effect.
  • This invention is achieved by an integrated combination of a screw pump with a gear pump according to the invention.
  • the task of suctioning and conveying and the gear pump to the task of metering pump falls to the screw pump.
  • the screw pump is formed by a screw guided in an enveloping tube, which serves as a self-priming supply unit for the pump pump structurally connected to the screw pump.
  • the gear pump and the screw pump are connected as a unit via a component of the container with the container.
  • the screw of the screw pump is aligned perpendicular to the surface of the medium and penetrates a lid, which is particularly suitable as a component of the container for receiving and fixing the metering and feeding unit.
  • the tube which surrounds the screw is connected directly to the cover by means of a flange. This allows a particularly simple and inexpensive construction.
  • the screw is rotatably connected to the driving drive gear of the gear pump, for example by means of a common shaft.
  • This shaft can be quite divided according to the invention, as long as the parts of the shaft are rotatably connected to each other.
  • a direct connection here means that the torque transmission does not occur, for example, via an intermediate gear.
  • the screw is indirectly rotatably connected to the drive of the gear pump. This can be done for example via a further gear in the gear pump.
  • This variant allows a screw speed, is not identical to one of the speeds of the gears used for the pumping function of the gear pump. This allows additional design freedom.
  • the length of the screw is greater than the diameter of the screw, since then both the conveying effect and the gen / diameter ratio greater than 1, more preferably greater than 1.5.
  • a catchy screw is also preferred. The actual geometry of the screw results from the required volume flow and the available speed of the screw.
  • the speed of the screw can be designed on the one hand, that this promotes a higher nominal flow rate than the gear pump. This ensures that the medium in the intake of the gear pump always has a sufficiently high pressure to be supplied to the gear pump safely.
  • the screw can also be operated at a lower speed if the viscosity of the medium and the gear pump allow the gear pump to have self-priming properties.
  • the axial position of the screw relative to the lid and thus the immersion depth of the screw in the medium is adjustable. This makes it easy to adapt the metering device according to the invention to different viscous media.
  • the axial position adjustment can be carried out both by an adjusting device during operation or during service interruptions as well as by mounting, for example, intermediate rings between the worm and the drive.
  • the tube which surrounds the screw the upper side connected by means of a holder with the gear pump.
  • the dosing device according to the invention is shown in section together with the container 1 to be emptied and the medium 2 to be conveyed.
  • the metered medium to be delivered 2 is included. This is, for example, an adhesive or another high-viscosity mass.
  • the medium may also be pseudoplastic or thixotropic.
  • the metering device is formed from a cover 3 which is introduced into the container 1 and which carries a screw pump 4 and a gear pump 7 with a drive 18.
  • the units cover 3, screw pump 4 and gear pump 7 and the drive 18 form a structural unit.
  • the screw pump 4 is formed by the screw 5 and the surrounding tube 6.
  • the screw 5 penetrates axially through the lid 3.
  • the orientation of the screw 5 is perpendicular to the surface of the medium 2.
  • the axial position of the screw is chosen so that the open End of the screw 4 in a suction 11 partially immersed in the medium 2.
  • the cover (3) represents only one possibility for connecting the metering device to the container via a component of the container.
  • the tube 6 of the spinning pump 4 is connected via the flange 16 with the lid 3.
  • the tube 6 is connected by means of a holder 17 with the gear pump 7.
  • the screw pump has a conveying gap 12, which is connected to the gear pump inlet 8 above the cutting plane.
  • the gear pump 7 has two meshing gears 13 and 14 which promote the medium in the circumferential tooth spaces of the meshing gears 13 and 14 in the direction of the rear outlet 9, where a consumer, not shown here is connected.
  • the drive shaft 10 is connected by means of a coupling 19 with a drive 18, for example an electric motor.
  • the drive shaft 10 is continuously from the drive 18 via the drive gear 13 to the screw 5, wherein the drive shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the drive gear 13, which drives the gear 14.
  • the lid 3 replaces a closure, not shown here, of the container 1, which closes the container 1 for transport and storage purposes. For removal purposes, this closure is removed and the lid 3 is inserted. Due to the weight of the lid presses this on the medium 2 and due to its contour partially sinks so far that the medium 2 enters the suction region 11 and thus into the effective range of the screw 5. To assist, it is also possible that the lid 3 is pneumatically loaded to sink. This makes it possible to improve the filling of the feed unit.
  • the medium 2 is sucked and conveyed upwards.
  • the dosing accuracy of the screw pump 5 is not sufficient.
  • the medium 2 undergoes an intensive shearing between the surface of the rotating screw 5 and the inner wall of the tube 6 when conveyed by the screw pump 4.
  • this causes a lowering of the viscosity, which has a positive effect on the delivery by the gear pump 7, in particular on the intake behavior.
  • the cover 3 sinks with decreasing volume of the medium 2 downwards, so that the suction region 11 and the screw 5 are tracked to the sinking surface of the medium 2. As a result, an almost complete emptying of the container is possible.
  • An optional axial adjustment 15 is provided to adjust the insertion depth of the screw 5 in the medium 2. Especially with highly viscous media 2, it is advantageous if the screw 5 continues to dip. This is due to the fact that the cover 3 is inadequately immersed in the medium 2 due to its own weight, in order to press this due to the displacement in the region of the tube 6.
  • a professional sliding rotatable connection is provided between the drive shaft 10 and the drive gear 13 a not shown here and to be selected by a professional sliding rotatable connection.
  • FIG. 2 represents in a sectional view an embodiment of the metering device according to the invention. Hereinafter, only the differences from those in FIG. 1 illustrated variant explained.
  • the drive of the screw pump 4 takes place here indirectly via the gear 14 and the shaft 20, while the drive gear 13 with the drive shaft 10 is rotatably connected.
  • the drive gear 13 drives the gear 14.
  • the axial position of the worm is fixed relative to the cover 3 by an intermediate ring 21 here.
  • the intermediate ring can be pushed onto the shaft 20, for example, between the screw 5 and an axial stop of the shaft 20.
