Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kreiselpumpenbauteil, umfassend mindestens ein Einbauteil und einen Spaltring, sowie ein Verfahren zu dessen Herstellung.The invention relates to a centrifugal pump component, comprising at least one built-in part and a split ring, and a method for its production.

Spaltringe und deren Konfiguration sind in vielen Varianten in der Literatur bekannt. Diese werden zumeist als einzelne Bauteile gefertigt und anschließend in ein Pumpengehäuse oder einem Laufrad, also einem Einbauteil, eingebaut. Zwischen dem Spaltring und seinem Gegenbauteil wird dabei stets ein hydraulischer Spalt gebildet. Hierdurch ist der erreichbare Minimalspalt bei starren, einteiligen Konstruktionen begrenzt, da stets Fertigungstoleranzen zu berücksichtigen sind.Split rings and their configuration are known in many variations in the literature. These are usually manufactured as individual components and then installed in a pump housing or an impeller, so a built-in part. Between the split ring and its counter component always a hydraulic gap is formed. As a result, the achievable minimum gap is limited in rigid, one-piece constructions, as always manufacturing tolerances are taken into account.

Die EP 2 148 096 A1 zeigt eine mehrteilige Anordnung für einen Spaltring, der am Laufrad der Pumpe angeordnet ist und zu einem gegenüberliegenden hülsenförmigen Abschnitt abdichtet. Nachteilig ist hierbei, dass die aufwändige Dichtung bei der Montage zerstört werden kann. Eine flexible Lippe der Spaltdichtung legt sich im Betrieb durch den abzudichtenden Druckunterschied am Gegenbauteil an. Dies führt zu einer erhöhten Leistungsaufnahme und Verschleiß, was den Bestrebungen nach Wirkungsgradverbesserungen entgegensteht. Zudem müssen an Laufrad und Gehäuse einzelne Teile angebaut werden, was einen Mehraufwand bedeutet.The EP 2 148 096 A1 shows a multi-part arrangement for a split ring, which is arranged on the impeller of the pump and seals to an opposite sleeve-shaped portion. The disadvantage here is that the elaborate seal can be destroyed during assembly. A flexible lip of the gap seal applies during operation by the pressure difference to be sealed against the counterpart component. This leads to an increased power consumption and wear, which precludes the efforts for efficiency improvements. In addition, individual parts must be attached to the impeller and housing, which means extra effort.

Die DE 191 53 95 U zeigt die starre einteilige Konstruktion eines Spaltrings, die zusätzlich eine Transportsicherung zwischen Laufrad und Spaltring vorsieht. Ein im Betrieb auflösbarer Ring in dem Spalt verhindert ein Verkanten oder Fressen. Als Pappring liegt er jedoch direkt im hydraulischen Spalt und vergrößert mit seiner Dicke den minimalen Spaltabstand. Der Pappring ist zusätzlich einzulegen und damit ist ein weiterer Montageschritt nötig.The DE 191 53 95 U shows the rigid one-piece construction of a split ring, which additionally provides a transport lock between the impeller and split ring. One in operation dissolvable ring in the gap prevents jamming or seizing. As a cardboard ring, however, it lies directly in the hydraulic gap and increases with its thickness the minimum gap distance. The cardboard ring must also be inserted and thus another assembly step is necessary.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Kreiselpumpenbauteil umfassend ein Einbauteil, insbesondere ein Laufrad, und einen daran angeordneten Spaltring zu schaffen, wodurch eine Spaltabdichtung am Laufrad einer Kreiselpumpe ermöglicht sein soll, die günstig in der Herstellung und einfach zu montieren ist.The object of the invention is to provide a centrifugal pump component comprising a built-in part, in particular an impeller, and a split ring arranged thereon, whereby a gap seal on the impeller of a centrifugal pump should be made possible, which is inexpensive to manufacture and easy to assemble.

Die Lösung sieht vor, dass an dem Kreiselpumpenbauteil zwischen dem Einbauteil und dem Spaltring oder innerhalb des Spaltringes ein Hilfsverbindungselement vorgesehen ist, wobei das Hilfsverbindungselement als eine Sollbruchstelle ausgebildet ist. Von Vorteil ist dabei, dass das Kreiselpumpenbauteil aus Spaltring und Einbauteil als einstückiges Teil fertigbar ist. Dieses Kreiselpumpenbauteil wird entweder direkt aus einem einzigen Rohteil hergestellt oder der Spaltring wird mit dem Einbauteil verbunden. Dies vereinfacht die Handhabung bei der Montage in das Gegenbauteil, das das Kreiselpumpenbauteil aus Spaltring und Einbauteil aufnimmt. Ist das Kreiselpumpenbauteil im Gegenbauteil montiert, so kann der Spaltring vom Einbauteil gelöst werden, indem die Sollbruchstelle gebrochen wird.The solution provides that an auxiliary connection element is provided on the centrifugal pump component between the installation part and the split ring or within the split ring, wherein the auxiliary connection element is designed as a predetermined breaking point. The advantage here is that the centrifugal pump component of split ring and built-in part can be manufactured as a one-piece part. This centrifugal pump component is either made directly from a single blank or the split ring is connected to the insert. This simplifies handling during assembly in the counterpart component, which accommodates the centrifugal pump component of split ring and built-in part. If the centrifugal pump component is mounted in the counter component, then the split ring can be detached from the built-in component by breaking the predetermined breaking point.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Sollbruchstelle beim Anliegen von Scherkräften in einer Richtung bricht. Die Sollbruchstelle ist dermaßen dimensioniert, dass das Kreiselpumpenbauteil einfach in das Gegenbauteil einbaubar ist, wobei das Hilfsverbindungselement das Einbauteil und den Spaltring fest verbindet. Nach erfolgtem Einbau ist es möglich, bei zusätzlicher Belastung, insbesondere bei einer anderen Kraftflussrichtung als der Einbaurichtung, nach dem Lösen einen Minimalspalt zwischen Einbauteil und Spaltring auszubilden, während das Gegenbauteil und der Spaltring fest und dicht miteinander verbunden sind. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Gestaltung der Sollbruchstelle ist es, wenn diese in Richtung der Rotation der Pumpe aufbricht und in axialer Richtung sperrt. Dabei ist es unerheblich, ob der entstehende Spalt radialer, axialer oder diagonaler Art ist und ob sich Regeleinrichtungen in den Geometrien verbergen.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the predetermined breaking point breaks when shear forces are applied in one direction. The predetermined breaking point is dimensioned so that the centrifugal pump component is easy to install in the counterpart component, wherein the auxiliary connecting element firmly connects the built-in part and the split ring. After installation, it is possible, with additional load, in particular in a direction of force flow other than the installation direction, form after loosening a minimum gap between the mounting part and split ring, while the counterpart component and the split ring are firmly and tightly interconnected. A particularly advantageous design of the predetermined breaking point is when it breaks open in the direction of rotation of the pump and locks in the axial direction. It is irrelevant whether the resulting Gap is radial, axial or diagonal type and whether control devices hide in the geometries.

Des Weiteren besteht die Möglichkeit, das Einbauteil aus einem ersten Material zu fertigen, insbesondere aus Metall, Kunststoff oder Keramik. Da das Einbauteil in seiner späteren Funktion, beispielsweise als Laufrad in einer Kreiselpumpe, unter Umständen sehr rauen Bedingungen ausgesetzt ist, ist es wichtig, den zur Anwendung passenden Werkstoff auszuwählen. Neben der Medienbeständigkeit spielen auch Masse des Bauteils und Herstellbarkeit eine wesentliche Rolle bei der Auswahl.Furthermore, it is possible to manufacture the mounting part of a first material, in particular of metal, plastic or ceramic. Since the mounting part in its later function, for example, as an impeller in a centrifugal pump, may be exposed to very harsh conditions, it is important to select the appropriate material for the application. In addition to the media resistance, mass of the component and manufacturability also play an essential role in the selection.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist der Spaltring aus einem zweiten Material gefertigt, insbesondere aus Metall, Kunststoff oder Keramik. Die Anwendungen der Kreiselpumpe erfordern eine sorgfältige Auswahl der Materialpaarung zwischen Spaltring und Einbauteil. Der Spaltring ist erfindungsgemäß so auslegbar, dass er als Schleißteil im Spalt zwischen Laufrad und Gehäuse vorgesehen ist.In a further embodiment, the split ring is made of a second material, in particular of metal, plastic or ceramic. The applications of the centrifugal pump require a careful selection of the material pairing between split ring and built-in part. The split ring according to the invention is interpretable so that it is provided as a wear part in the gap between the impeller and the housing.

Es besteht die Möglichkeit das Hilfsverbindungselement aus einem dritten Material zu fertigen, insbesondere aus Metall, Kunststoff oder Keramik. Dies ermöglicht eine beliebige Auswahl der Materialien für den Spaltring und das Einbauteil, wobei für das Hilfsverbindungselement ein weiteres Material gewählt werden kann, das ein Brechen der Sollbruchstelle bei der gewünschten Scherkraft ermöglicht.It is possible to make the auxiliary connection element of a third material, in particular of metal, plastic or ceramic. This allows any selection of the materials for the split ring and the insert, wherein for the auxiliary connection element, a further material can be selected, which allows breaking of the predetermined breaking point at the desired shear force.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist zwischen dem Einbauteil und dem Spaltring eine Labyrinthdichtung ausgebildet. Die Anordnung von Spaltring und Einbauteil in einem Kreiselpumpenbauteil ermöglicht die Ausbildung einer hochpräzisen Dichtvorrichtung in Form einer Labyrinthdichtung. Durch die Verbindung der beiden Teile zum Kreiselpumpenbauteil sind der Abstand und die Anordnung festgelegt, sodass beim Einbau in das Gegenbauteil kein weiterer Einstellaufwand nötig ist.In a further embodiment, a labyrinth seal is formed between the mounting part and the split ring. The arrangement of split ring and built-in part in a centrifugal pump component allows the formation of a high-precision sealing device in the form of a labyrinth seal. By the connection of the two parts to the centrifugal pump component, the distance and the arrangement are fixed so that no further adjustment effort is required when installed in the counterpart component.

An dem Spaltring können Strukturen der Selbstsicherung im Betrieb vorgesehen sein, insbesondere Gewinde in Richtung der Umdrehung des Laufrades. Hierdurch wird die Verbindung zwischen Spaltring und Gegenbauteil der Pumpe selbst gesichert, insbesondere weist der Spaltring ein der Drehung der Pumpe entsprechendes Gewinde auf, so dass er sich bei auftretender tangentialer Belastung des Spaltes durch Anlaufen fester einschraubt.On the split ring structures of self-assurance can be provided during operation, in particular thread in the direction of rotation of the impeller. As a result, the connection between the split ring and the counterpart component of the pump itself is secured, in particular the split ring has a thread corresponding to the rotation of the pump, so that it screws in more firmly when the tangential loading of the gap occurs due to tarnishing.

Eine Ausführung des Kreiselpumpenbauteils als Spritzgussteil ermöglicht neben der einfachen Herstellung des Spaltringes und des Einbauteils, einen Filmanguss des Hilfsverbindungselements mit der Sollbruchstelle.An embodiment of the centrifugal pump component as an injection molded part allows, in addition to the simple production of the split ring and the built-in part, a film gate of the auxiliary connecting element with the predetermined breaking point.

Außerdem kann das Kreiselpumpenbauteil als Mehrkomponentenspritzgussteil ausgeführt sein, insbesondere bei Verwendung unterschiedlicher Materialien für Einbauteil und Spaltring. Durch Inkompatibilitäten der eingesetzten Werkstoffe lassen sich somit auch ineinandergreifende Labyrinthsysteme herstellen, wobei sich zur Herstellung generative Verfahren besonders eignen. Die Sollbruchstelle ist in diesem Fall die Grenzschicht zwischen den beiden Komponenten, die nach der Fertigung gegeneinander haften. Die Haftung ist weitaus geringer, als die Festigkeit der beiden Komponenten und die Belastung beim Betrieb der Pumpe.In addition, the centrifugal pump component can be designed as a multi-component injection-molded part, in particular when using different materials for fitting and split ring. As a result of incompatibilities of the materials used, interlocking labyrinth systems can also be produced, with generative processes being particularly suitable for the production. The predetermined breaking point in this case is the boundary layer between the two components which adhere to one another after production. The adhesion is much lower than the strength of the two components and the load during operation of the pump.

Die Erfindung umfasst weiterhin ein Verfahren zum Montieren eines Einbauteils mit daran angeordnetem Spaltring in eine Kreiselpumpe, bei dem ein einstückiges Teil aus Einbauteil und Spaltring im ersten Schritt in das Gegenbauteil gefügt wird, wobei der Spaltring zwischen dem Einbauteil und dem Gegenbauteil angeordnet wird, in einem weiteren Schritt wird der Spaltring an der Sollbruchstelle vom einstückigen Teil gebrochen. Von Vorteil ist dabei, dass beim Fügen des Kreiselpumpenbauteils in das Gegenbauteil keine weiteren Einstellarbeiten zwischen Einbauteil und Spaltring mehr nötig sind. Beim Zusammenbau der Kreiselpumpe ist nur ein Teil passgenau zu montieren. Nach dem Brechen der Sollbruchstelle sind Einbauteil und Spaltring optimal eingestellt.The invention further comprises a method for mounting a fitting with split ring arranged thereon in a centrifugal pump, in which a one-piece part of fitting and split ring is joined in the first step in the counterpart member, wherein the split ring between the insert and the counterpart member is arranged in a another step, the split ring is broken at the predetermined breaking point of the one-piece part. The advantage here is that when joining the centrifugal pump component in the mating component no further adjustments between fixture and split ring are more necessary. When assembling the centrifugal pump, only one part has to be mounted accurately. After breakage of the predetermined breaking point insert and split ring are optimally adjusted.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens erfolgt die Verbindung des Spaltrings mit dem Gehäuse formschlüssig, insbesondere durch Gewinde, Steck- oder Schnappverbindungen. Dies ermöglicht eine einfache und präzise Montage. Die Verbindung kann reversibel ausgeführt sein, wodurch ein späterer Austausch des Kreiselpumpenbauteils ermöglicht ist.In a further embodiment of the method, the connection of the split ring with the housing takes place in a form-fitting manner, in particular by thread, plug-in or snap-in connections. This allows easy and precise installation. The connection can be made reversible, whereby a later replacement of the centrifugal pump component is made possible.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens erfolgt die Verbindung des Spaltrings mit dem Gehäuse stoffschlüssig, insbesondere durch Kleben, Schweißen oder vergleichbares. Von Vorteil ist hierbei, dass die Montage sehr einfach durchführbar ist. Durch Stoffschluss lassen sich sehr robuste Verbindungen herstellen.In a further embodiment of the method, the connection of the split ring with the housing takes place cohesively, in particular by gluing, welding or the like. The advantage here is that the installation is very easy to carry out. By material connection can be made very robust connections.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung des Verfahrens erfolgt die Verbindung des Spaltrings mit dem Gehäuse kraftschlüssig, insbesondere durch Passungen, Aufschrumpfen oder vergleichbare Verfahren. Bei dieser Variante ist eine sichere Verbindung des Kreiselpumpenbauteils mit dem Gegenbauteil ermöglicht.In a further embodiment of the method, the connection of the split ring to the housing is non-positively, in particular by fits, shrinking or similar methods. In this variant, a secure connection of the centrifugal pump component is made possible with the mating component.

Weitere Ausführungsformen ergeben sich aus der Kombination der bisher dargestellten und sind deshalb hier nicht weiter ausgeführt.Further embodiments result from the combination of the previously shown and are therefore not further elaborated here.

Die Figur 1 zeigt ein Einbauteil in Form eines Laufrades 1. Dieses kann in einer Strömungsarbeits- oder -kraftmaschine Verwendung finden. Bei einer Kreiselpumpe können ein oder zwei Spaltringe 2 zur Abgrenzung der Druckbereiche vorgesehen sein. Hier dienen je ein saug- und druckseitiger Spaltring 2 zur Abdichtung eines Pumpendruckraumes an hier nicht dargestellten, im Gehäuse befindlichen Gegenflächen. Diese Spaltringe 2 sind jeweils durch ein Hilfsverbindungselement 3 mit dem Laufrad 1 verbunden. Das Hilfsverbindungselement 3 weist eine Sollbruchstelle auf, die in Figur 1 nicht dargestellt ist. Nach erfolgter Montage des Einbauteils im Gehäuse liegen die Spaltringe fest im Gehäuse an. Das Laufrad ist in diesem Zustand nicht drehbar. Durch Aufbrechen der Sollbruchstelle wird Laufrad 1 und Spaltring 2 voneinander getrennt und ein kleinstmöglicher, enger hydraulischer Spalt wird zwischen den Bauteilen gebildet. Etwaige Rauhigkeiten der Sollbruchstelle schleifen sich problemlos ab.The FIG. 1 shows a built-in part in the form of an impeller 1. This can be used in a Strömungsarbeits- or -kraftmaschine use. In a centrifugal pump, one or two split rings 2 may be provided to delimit the pressure areas. Here are each a suction and pressure side split ring 2 for sealing a pump pressure chamber to not shown here, located in the housing mating surfaces. These split rings 2 are each connected by an auxiliary connecting element 3 with the impeller 1. The auxiliary connecting element 3 has a predetermined breaking point, which in FIG. 1 not shown. After installation of the insert in the housing, the split rings are firmly in the housing. The impeller is not rotatable in this state. By breaking the predetermined breaking point impeller 1 and split ring 2 is separated from each other and a smallest possible, narrow hydraulic gap is formed between the components. Any roughness of the predetermined breaking point is easily removed.
