Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers in general to a positive-displacement pump and, more specifically, to an external gear positive-displacement pump with self-compensating gear chamber.
- As known, a positive-displacement pump is a particular type of pump that exploits the variation of volume in a chamber to cause suction or thrust on an incompressible fluid. Among positive-displacement pumps there are rotary pumps of the type with gears, in which the variation of the volume of the work chamber is obtained through the rotation of elements, typically two gear wheels that mesh with one another, capable of defining rotating chambers of variable volume.
- In particular, so-called external gear pumps consist of two gear wheels perfectly coupled together, arranged inside a case on which openings are made for the suction and the delivery of the liquid to be transferred. The gear wheels are normally fitted onto respective rotary shafts having axes parallel to one another. One of the two gear wheels is actuated by a motor, typically electric, which engages on the relative shaft, whereas the other wheel is set in rotation by the driving wheel. When the teeth of the two wheels separate and transit in front of the suction port, there is a certain depression that allows the liquid to enter into the pumping chamber, formed between the spaces of the teeth and the case. When the teeth reach the delivery port, the liquid no longer has space to stay inside the pump and it is forced to go out through the delivery port itself.
- In a gear pump the coupling of the two gear wheels must be carried out with extreme precision, so as to prevent the reflux of the liquid from the delivery zone towards the suction zone, so that the liquid itself is transferred towards the delivery port only along the spaces comprised between the case and the teeth of the gear wheels. As a result the tolerances between the various elements, mobile and not, that make up a gear pump must be as small as possible.
- A typical drawback encountered in gear pumps is due to the fact that the gears and the internal components in contact with the moving elements wear down with the passing of time. This leads to an increase in the internal clearances and, therefore, to a lowering of the efficiency of the pump, as well as to frequent problems linked to priming.
- The general purpose of the present invention is therefore to make a geared positive-displacement pump with self-compensating gear chamber that is able to solve the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art in an extremely simple, cost-effective and particularly functional manner.
- In detail, a purpose of the present invention is to make a geared positive-displacement pump that is capable of solving, or at least minimising, the problem of wearing of the components. Of course, it is not possible to prevent the wearing of the moving parts, and therefore the gear pump according to the present invention is configured to avoid the problem in terms of "automatic" limitation of the clearances between the components of the pump itself.
- These purposes according to the present invention are accomplished by making a geared positive-displacement pump with self-compensating gear chamber as outlined in claim 1.
- Further characteristics of the invention are highlighted by the dependent claims, which are an integral part of the present description.
- According to the invention, starting from the presumption that the gears are the first components to wear down, and therefore lose the original dimensions, we have thought to insert such gears inside a casing that is adaptable to the varying of the inner volume occupied by the gears themselves. The adaptation to the variation in volume is obtained by means of a "mobile" chamber. The chamber, through an elastic support system and by also exploiting the difference in pressures of the pumped fluid, "compresses" following the consumption of the gears, thus keeping the clearances almost constant and keeping the performances of the pump unchanged.
- The characteristics and advantages of a geared positive-displacement pump with self-compensating gear chamber according to the present invention will become clearer from the following description, given as an example and not for limiting purposes, referring to the attached schematic drawings, in which:
-
figure 1 is a perspective view of a geared positive-displacement pump with self-compensating gear chamber according to the present invention, shown without the generic electric motor associated with it; -
figure 2 is a section view, obtained along the rotation axes of the gears, of the pump offigure 1 , in which the generic electric motor associated with it is also shown; -
figure 3 is a section view, obtained along the rotation axes of the gears, of a component (the so-called "bowl" and the relative content) of the pump offigure 1 ; -
figure 4 is another section view of the bowl offigure 3 and of the group containing the suction and delivery ducts of the pump; -
figure 5 is a detailed view, through a graph that has been simplified by excess, which shows the operation, the system of clearances and the forces acting on the self-compensating gear chamber of the pump offigure 1 ; and -
figure 6 is a perspective view that shows the rear side of the central body and of the chamber of the gears, without bowl and inner magnet, of the pump offigure 1 . - With reference to the figures, a geared positive-displacement pump with self-compensating gear chamber according to the present invention is shown, wholly indicated with
reference numeral 10. Thepump 10 firstly comprises a pair of gear wheels orgears respective support shaft support shafts figure 3 ). One of the gears, for example thegear 12, is operatively connected to amotor 20, for example of the electric type, so that it can operate as a driving gear to set theother gear 14 in rotation, which thus acts as a driven gear. Themotor 20 is fixed to the body of thepump 10 through anadapter element 22. - The clamping between the
upper flange 24, thelower flange 26, therear body 28 and theadapter element 22 of thepump 10 ensures the hermetic insulation between the outside and the components arranged inside the casing orbowl 30 of thepump 10 itself, allowing fluid to enter and exit only through thesuction 32 anddelivery ducts 34 formed in therear body 28. Thebowl 30 houses aninner magnet 36, thesupport shafts respective gears central body 38, thechamber 40 that containssuch gears closing plate 42 of such achamber 40 and the base of therear body 28 equipped with agasket 44. Therear body 28 is aligned with thecentral body 38 and with thelower flange 26 throughsuitable pins - According to the invention, the
chamber 40 that contains thegears relative closing plate 42 are mounted in a mobile manner with respect to one another and both with respect to the other components of thepump 10 as a function of the pressure of the fluid contained in thepump 10 itself. In this way there is adaptability of thechamber 40 and of therelative closing plate 42 to the varying of the clearances due to the wearing down of the inner components of thepump 10 that are in movement, or that are in contact with other moving components. - Advantageously, between the
support base 38A of thecentral body 38 and thesupport edge 40A of thechamber 40 at least one elastic component 50 (figure 5 ) is interposed, that allows the relative displacement, with respect to thecentral body 38, of such achamber 40 as a function of the pressure of the fluid contained in it. - Preferably, the aforementioned
elastic component 50 consists of an O-ring. The presence of theelastic component 50 is particularly useful to facilitate the priming step of thepump 10 and to allow its possible reversible operation. In addition, in non-operative conditions of thepump 10, between thechamber 40 and the base of therear body 28 there is a space D to allow such achamber 40 to be brought up to and away from the base of therear body 28 as a function of the pressure of the fluid, as will be specified more clearly hereafter. - The operation of the
pump 10 according to the invention takes place in the following way. Once themotor 20 is actuated, it is able to transmit the rotary motion to theexternal magnet 52 which, through magnetic drive, in turn transmits the motion to theinner magnet 36. Theinner magnet 36 is equipped with arecess 54 suitable for the insertion inside it, in shape coupling, of aprotuberance 56 formed in thedriving gear 12, so that the motion generated by themotor 20 is transmitted directly to such adriving gear 12. Thesupport shaft 16 of thedriving gear 12, on the other hand, is fixed, because it is planted in a seat 58A of therear body 28, just as thesupport shaft 18 of the drivengear 14 is fixed, planted in arespective seat 58B of such arear body 28. In this way the use of bushings becomes superfluous. - The motion of the driving 12 and driven
gears 14 is thus able to generate the pumping action. The increase in volume caused by the divergent engagement of the teeth of thegears figure 3 ) present in theclosing plate 42. Such aclosing plate 42, through thesuction duct 32 of therear body 28 with which it is aligned, sucks the fluid that is outside of thepump 10. The convergent engagement of the teeth of thegears figure 6 ) positioned on the bottom of thechamber 40. - From the
hole 62 the fluid flows into the portion ofbowl 30 that houses theinner magnet 36. The gaps M and R (figure 5 ) formed between theinner magnet 36, thecentral body 38 and thechamber 40 are thus saturated with the fluid at a higher pressure with respect to that which can be measured inside and upstream of thechamber 40 itself. By reaction, this greater pressure in the gaps M and R will tend to push thechamber 40 towards therear body 28, reducing the space D between thechamber 40 and the base of therear body 28 and the clearances P, T and V between the outer surfaces of thegears chamber 40 and of therelative closing plate 42. - In other words, the high pressure of the fluid contained in the gaps M and R ensures that the
closing plate 42 enters deeper inside thechamber 40, just as it causes such achamber 40 to move closer to the side surface of thegears elastic component 50 arranged between thesupport base 38A of thecentral body 38 and thesupport edge 40A of thechamber 40 will also thrust the latter towards therear body 28 as a function of the pressure of the fluid contained in the gaps M and R, contributing to decreasing the clearances T and V and the space D. The possibilities of moving theclosing plate 42 and thechamber 40, as the height and diameters of thegears gears gears chamber 40 and of theclosing plate 42 from creating refluxes of the fluid such as to cause the worsening of the performance of thepump 10 and making priming impossible, even in the case of small air bubbles in the flow, with consequent zeroing of the pumping action. - At the end of the pumping cycle the fluid is then pushed through a hole 64 formed in the
central body 38 and connected to thedelivery duct 34 of therear body 28, so that such a fluid can come outside of the pump. - It has thus been seen that the geared positive-displacement pump with self-compensating gear chamber according to the present invention achieves the purposes highlighted earlier. The separate mobile parts that make up the self-compensating gear chamber, which houses the gear wheels suitable for generating the pumping action, allow the adaptability of such a chamber as the clearances vary due to the wearing of the inner parts of the pump that are in movement, or that are in contact with the moving parts of the pump itself. This characteristic also allows priming whenever the pump is totally or partially without fluid inside it, for example in the start-up step or in the case of interruption of supply of the fluid itself.
- The geared positive-displacement pump with self-compensating gear chamber thus conceived can in any case undergo numerous modifications and variants, all of which are covered by the same innovative concept; moreover, all of the details can be replaced with technically equivalent elements. In practice, the materials used, as well as the shapes and sizes, can be whatever according to the technical requirements.
- The scope of protection of the invention is therefore defined by the attached claims.
