Abstract
Description
- The invention regards a pump with a protection unit against water hammer.
- It is known that the term water hammer indicates a hydraulic phenomenon which is generated in a conduit traversed by a flowing liquid when the flow is suddenly interrupted by the sudden closure of a valve.
- Similarly, water hammer also occurs when a valve present in the conduit is suddenly opened to create a liquid flow.
- Substantially, water hammer consists in a pressure wave which is generated by the inertia of the fluid column flowing along the conduit when the flow, as mentioned, is suddenly interrupted or opened.
- The maximum pressure value generated by the pressure wave can even reach very high levels and such to even seriously damage the conduits and the hydraulic apparatus that are upstream of the closed valve.
- For example, in case of systems and hydraulic circuits in which there are hydraulic machines, for example pumps, the water hammer affects the pumping unit and can damage it, especially when the pumping unit is made of plastic material.
- Devices and systems are known for protecting systems, hydraulic circuits and hydraulic machines against water hammer which are mainly based on the use of deformable chambers, check valves or expansion chambers which absorb the pressure wave during the propagation thereof upstream of the area in which it was produced, preventing the energy thereof from propagating to the vital and weaker parts of the systems, hydraulic circuits and/or hydraulic machines.
- Though being efficient, such devices reveal however the drawback of being rather expensive and they also often lead to an increase of the overall dimensions.
- As a matter of fact, such devices are aggregated to the systems or hydraulic circuits or hydraulic machines and thus constitute elements which integrate them and which are also subjected to periodic maintenance and/or replacement operations.
- The present invention aims at eliminating these drawbacks.
- In particular, the first object of the invention is to provide a pump provided with a protection unit against water hammer arranged inside the pump and constituting a structural element of the pump.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a pump with smaller overall dimensions with respect to the equivalent pumps without protection against water hammer.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a pump with considerably lower production costs with respect to those of the equivalent pumps without protection against water hammer.
- Last but not least, an object of the invention is to provide a protection unit against water hammer configured to be applied inside a pump.
- The aforementioned objects are attained by the pump of the invention whose characteristics are described in the main claim to which reference shall be made.
- Further characteristics of the invention are described in the dependent claims. Advantageously, given that in the pump of the invention the protection unit against water hammer is integrated in the structure of the pump, specific periodic maintenance is not required, excluding normal maintenance operations to which the pump should be subjected.
- In addition, advantageously, the protection unit against water hammer that is the subject of the invention may be applied on a standard pump with the aim of modifying it and thus making it suitable to be protected against water hammer.
- The aforementioned objects and advantages will be more apparent from the description of a preferred embodiment of the invention provided hereinafter, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the attached drawings wherein:
-
fig. 1 represents the pump of the invention in longitudinal section; -
figs. 2 to 5 represent details of the pump offig. 1 . - The pump of the invention is represented in longitudinal section in
fig. 1 where it is indicated as a whole with 1. - It should be observed that the pump is of the submerged type, but generally the description outlined hereinafter may refer to a pump of any type.
- It comprises a
pump body 2 in which it is possible to identify a suctioningmouth 3 and adelivery mouth 4, the latter belonging to adelivery head 5 connected to thepump body 2, on the opposite side of the suctioningmouth 3 in this specific case. - A
tubular jacket 7 is arranged inside thepump body 2 and it is configured to contain anelectric motor 8 and apumping unit 9 which are connected to each other through atransmission shaft 10. - A
sealing unit 11 is arranged in a position substantially intermediate to thetransmission shaft 10, and it is contained in thetubular jacket 7 as well and positioned between theelectric motor 8 and thepumping unit 9. - In this way, in the
tubular jacket 7 it is defined amotor housing 8a in which it is contained theelectric motor 8 and a pumpinghousing 9a in which it is contained theentire pumping unit 9 including arotor 9b and adistributor 9c. - A
cover 12 is applied on thetubular jacket 7 and it is comprised between thedelivery head 5 and theelectric motor 8. - In addition, there is an
annular body 13 which is comprised between thecover 12 and thedelivery head 5 so as to delimit adelivery chamber 15 communicating with thedelivery mouth 4. - Between the
pump body 2 and thetubular jacket 7 it is defined atubular interspace 14 which communicates with the pumpinghousing 9a through a plurality offirst flow ways 16 which, as can be observed, are made according to an annular crown in thetubular jacket 7. - In addition, a plurality of
second flow ways 17 are made in theannular body 13 and they are configured to place thedelivery chamber 15 in communication with thetubular interspace 14. - When the
electric motor 8 drives therotor 9b of thepumping unit 9 in rotation, the fluid, in particular water or any other fluid which can be pumped, is suctioned through the suctioningmouth 3 and, after traversing thepumping unit 9 according to the longitudinal axis Y, reaches thetubular interspace 14 through thefirst flow ways 16 and thus, passing through thesecond flow ways 17 obtained in theannular body 13, reaches thedelivery chamber 15 and thedelivery mouth 4 to be conveyed in the distribution network. - According to the invention, in the
annular body 13 there are first connection means 18 which are configured to axially constrain theannular body 13 and thecover 12 to each other and second connection means 19 which are configured to axially constrain theannular body 13 and thedelivery head 5 to each other. - As regards the first connection means 18, it should be observed, with particular reference to
figs. 2 and 3 , that they comprise a firstannular edge 20 which is projecting towards the inside of theannular body 13 and it is configured to be arranged to cover thecorresponding perimeter edge 12a of thecover 12 arranged at the level of thetubular jacket 7. - In this way, due to the presence of the first
annular edge 20 which projects towards the inside of theannular body 13, the latter encloses thecover 12 therein constraining it stably. - In addition, there is an
annular channel 21 which is defined between thecover 12 and thetubular jacket 7 and it is configured to receive the firstannular edge 20 after being arranged adhering and covering thecorresponding perimeter edge 12a of thecover 12. - As regards the second connection means 19, they comprise a second
annular edge 22 which is projecting towards the outside of theannular body 13 and it has a substantially U-shaped profile. - This U-shaped profile identifies a
concavity 23 facing towards thetubular interspace 14 when the secondannular edge 22 is comprised between thecover 12, thepump body 2 and thedelivery head 5. - In addition, in the second
annular edge 22 there are throughholes 24 which are configured to receivemeans 25 for fixing theannular edge 22 to thedelivery head 5. - More precisely, the second
annular edge 22 comprises afirst surface 26 placed against thelateral surface 12b of thecover 12 and asecond surface 27, faced and substantially parallel to thefirst surface 26, welded in axial head contact with thepump body 2. - Lastly, a
third surface 28 is comprised between thefirst surface 26 and thesecond surface 27 and it is substantially orthogonal to both. - In the
third surface 28 there are the throughholes 24 that are used to house the fixing means 25 of theannular edge 22 against thedelivery head 5. - The
delivery head 5 in turn comprises throughcounter holes 29 which are arranged coaxial to the throughholes 24 obtained in the secondannular edge 22 and they are configured to receive thefixing means 25. - The latter, in particular, comprise a plurality of
screws 30 each of which comprises amanoeuvring head 30a facing towards the outside environment and placed in contact with thedelivery head 5 and a threadedshank 30b arranged passing through the throughholes 24 and the throughcounter holes 29 coaxial to each other. - In addition, there are a plurality of
holder nuts 31 each of which is housed in theconcavity 23 of the secondannular edge 22 and receives the coupling of the threadedshank 30b of acorresponding screw 30. - Each
holder nut 31 is stably sealingly fixed in theconcavity 23, preferably but not exclusively by welding. - At the joining edges of the elements forming the pump and along which the hydraulic sealing is obtained, there are gaskets suitably shaped according to the prior art.
- In particular, a gasket of the O-
ring type 32 is interposed between thecover 12 and thetubular jacket 7, as observable in the figures. - Operatively, when the pump 1 is assembled, the fastening of the
screws 30 causes the axial compression of theannular body 13 since it is fastened between thedelivery head 5, thecover 12 and thetubular jacket 7. - Upon completion of the assembly, the
annular body 13 is thus subjected to the two fastening forces Fs and F's equal and opposite to each other observable infig. 4 , which axially compress theannular body 13 according to the longitudinal axis direction Y. - The same compression forces also act on the
pumping unit 9 and thetubular jacket 7, still as observable infig. 4 , while thepump body 2 is stretched by the same forces Fs and F's opposite to each other. - When a pressure wave caused by water hammer acts with a force Fa on the
cover 12, as observable infig. 5 , the force Fa, through the firstannular edge 20, is transmitted by thecover 12 and by thetubular jacket 7 to theannular body 13 while the reaction thereof F'a is transmitted by the fluid present in the pumpinghousing 9a to thesealing unit 11. - In this way, as observable, the
annular body 13 is generally discharged. - Thus, advantageously, the thrust Fa due to the water hammer and the reaction thereof F'a do not act on the
pumping unit 9, as it otherwise occurs in the embodiments of the know type, but on theannular body 13 which is discharged. - Thus, it is obtained the object of protecting the internal members of the pump and particularly the
pumping unit 9 through a protection unit against water hammer, in this case constituted by theannular body 13, which is arranged inside the pump and constitutes a structural element of the pump itself. - In addition, it should be observed that the area of the pump comprised between the
cover 12 and thesealing unit 11 is subjected to the compression forces Fa and F'a opposite to each other due to water hammer and theannular body 13 is thus substantially floating inside thepump body 2. - Simultaneously, the thrust Fa due to water hammer compresses the sealing
ring 32 arranged between thecover 12 and thetubular jacket 7, and this facilitates hydraulic sealing. - According to the above, it is thus clear that the pump of the invention, provided with a protection unit against water hammer, attains all the preset objects.
- First and foremost, it is obtained the main object of the invention which consists in providing a pump provided with a protection unit against water hammer arranged inside the pump and which constitutes a structural element of the pump itself.
- As a matter of fact, the
annular body 13, which constitutes the protection unit against water hammer, is constrained between thedelivery head 5 and thecover 12 associated to the tubular chamber which contains theelectric motor 8 and thepumping unit 9. - It is also obtained the object according to which the pump of the invention provided with a protection unit against water hammer substantially has the same overall dimensions as the equivalent pumps without protection against water hammer.
- Indeed, it has been observed that the
annular body 13 has a small axial overall dimension such not to considerably modify the overall dimension of the pump. In addition, theannular body 13 is not subjected to wear or deformations during use and thus it does not require neither to be replaced over time nor to undergo maintenance operations. - Thus, the pump of the invention only requires to receive standard maintenance operations to which all prior art pumps are subjected to.
- In addition, in presence of water hammer, the entire thrust does not weigh on the
pumping unit 9 but discharges on theannular body 13 which even improves the operating conditions thereof since it is discharged by the axial force through which it had been pre-compressed when mounting the pump. As a consequence, in presence of water hammer the structural static conditions of the pump are even improved. - It is also clear that the
annular body 13 may provide for annular edges delimiting it to be variously configured, so as to be stably joined to the delivery head and the cover of the tubular jacket containing the pumping unit of pumps with shapes different from each other, so as to transform any standard operating pump into a pump of the invention configured with a protection unit against water hammer. - In the construction stage, the pump of the invention and the protection unit against water hammer with which it is provided may be subjected to modifications not described and not represented herein.
- However, it shall be observed that any modifications, should they fall within the scope of the claims below, shall be deemed all protected by the present patent.
