Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering pump unit according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Dosing pump units which have a metering space and an adjacent thereto displacement body in the form of a membrane.
  • This displacer is moved linearly via a connecting rod.
  • the connecting rod is moved in such known Dosierpumpenaggregaten via an electric drive motor, in particular a stepping motor.
  • a compression spring acts as a spring accumulator on the connecting rod.
  • it is difficult to mount the connecting rod and spring since the spring can lead to an inclination of the connecting rod due to lateral forces occurring in compression, which in turn leads to side forces on the membrane with a consequent faster wear of the membrane. Therefore, adjustment screws are provided in known constructions to correct the Pleuelauscardi can. This, however, complicates the entire design and assembly. Please refer CN201060011Y with the closest prior art.
  • EP 1 676 988 A1 discloses a Dosierpumpenaggregat, wherein on the exact structure of the metering no comments are made.
  • FR 2 355 180 discloses a compressed air powered hydraulic pump having a spring loaded piston. However, this pump is not intended for metering media. In addition, here is the Displacer not movable over a connecting rod, so it can not come here to the undesirable misalignment of the connecting rod.
  • the metering pump unit according to the invention has a metering space whose volume can be changed by a displacer adjoining the metering space or arranged in the metering space.
  • This displacer is a membrane which forms a side wall of the metering chamber.
  • the displacer is linearly movable via a connecting rod, which in turn is optionally set via a gear by a rotating drive motor in motion.
  • This forms a spring store, which stores energy in one stroke direction, in order to then release it again in the other stroke direction.
  • the spring is compressed in the suction stroke and then releases its energy during the pressure stroke by relaxation.
  • the Schaubfeder acts on the connecting rod in a direction of movement, preferably the direction of movement to the pressure stroke, with an additional force.
  • the helical spring is configured such that it has no applied spring end at least at one axial end in the relaxed state. Ie. the free end of the coil spring is not applied to the following turn. Rather, the invention provides that projects at least one axial end in the relaxed state, the end of the spring wire relative to the subsequent turn axially, that is spaced.
  • it has been customary to form coil springs for their intended use at their ends so that the free end is applied to the wire of the adjacent adjacent coil. From this embodiment is now according to the invention departed.
  • the spring wire is cut to length at at least one axial end such that the last turn extends helically up to the axial end of the spring wire and the end of the spring wire protrudes axially from the subsequent turn at the axial end.
  • the spring wire is preferably ground adjacent to the free end. The ground surface thus extends normal to the spring longitudinal axis.
  • a planar contact surface is created, which preferably extends over an angular or circumferential region of 200 ° to 300 ° about the longitudinal axis of the spring.
  • This non-adjacent design of the spring end has the advantage that during compression of the spring less or no lateral forces occur, which would lead to an inclination of the connecting rod and thus to an undesirable lateral load of the displacement, in particular a membrane. So can be dispensed with additional adjustment discs and the assembly is significantly simplified. At the same time, however, the undesired lateral load on the displacement body, for example on the membrane, is reduced, as a result of which the service life of the membrane is increased.
  • the coil spring is configured at both opposite axial ends in the described manner, d. H. designed such that in the relaxed state, the end of the spring wire protrudes axially relative to the subsequent turn, d. H. not present. In this way, unwanted lateral forces or transverse forces normal to the spring axis are avoided at both axial ends.
  • the described ground contact surface is preferably formed at both axial ends.
  • the axial ends at both ends lie on the same line or an imaginary axis parallel to the spring longitudinal axis.
  • the two axial ends of the spring wire, preferably the ends, which project in the axial direction relative to the adjacent turn, thus lie at the same circumferential position.
  • the coil spring has at least one axial end an end configuration produced only by cutting the spring wire to length.
  • the spring wire is simply cut off without any further special shaping.
  • the spring wire is thereby ground so that a plane bearing surface is created, which in the relaxed state of the compression spring transversely, d. H. extends substantially normal to the spring longitudinal axis and extends over more than a quarter, preferably over 50% to 90%, more preferably between 55% and 85% of the circumference based on the spring longitudinal axis.
  • the metering pump unit has, in a known manner, a drive housing 2, in which the drive described in more detail later is arranged, and to which a pump head 4 is attached on one side.
  • a metering chamber 6 is formed, which is bounded on a side surface by a membrane 8, which serves as a displacement body.
  • the membrane 8 is driven by a connecting rod 10, d. H. moved linearly along the axis of movement X back and forth.
  • an electric drive motor 12 is provided, which may be formed, for example, as a stepper motor.
  • the rotating drive motor 12 is offset via a gear transmission 14 and an eccentric 16, the connecting rod 10 in the desired linear oscillating movement. Between the front end of the connecting rod, d. H.
  • a compression spring 20 is arranged as a spring accumulator.
  • the compression spring 20 is designed as a helical spring and is supported with its end facing away from the membrane 8 on a contact surface of the carrier 18 and with the opposite end to a contact disk 22, which is connected to the connecting rod 10.
  • the compression spring 20 is arranged so that it in the suction stroke, d. H. when the connecting rod 10 is withdrawn and moved away from the metering chamber 6, is compressed and in the subsequent pressure stroke, when the connecting rod 10 moves to the metering 6 and the membrane 8 is pressed in the metering chamber 6, relaxed.
  • the compression spring 20 absorbs energy in the suction stroke, which it then outputs in the compression stroke as additional pumping energy via the connecting rod 10 to the membrane 8.
  • the embodiment of the compression spring 20 is based on Fig. 2 explained in more detail.
  • Fig. 2 the compression spring 20 is shown enlarged in its relaxed state. It can be seen that at both axial ends 24, the ends 26 of the spring wire are formed so that they protrude in the axial direction X via the subsequent turn 28. Ie the spring ends or ends of the spring wire 26 are not applied to the last turn 28. Rather, the ends 26 of the spring wire are cut substantially simply, without any special further deformation of the axial end of the spring would take place. Only the last section 30 of the winding 28 adjoining the end of the spring wire 26 is machined so that a planar contact surface is created which extends normal to the longitudinal axis X. However, this portion 30 does not extend over the entire circumference with respect to the longitudinal axis X but only over a peripheral portion between 50% and 90% of the circumference, preferably over an angular range between 200 ° and 300 °.
  • the ends 26 of the spring wire are at the same angle with respect to the longitudinal axis X, that is, on a line or imaginary axis parallel to the longitudinal axis X, in the same circumferential region.
