Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of piezo pumps for use in a pressurised circuit, comprising a pump chamber with an inlet provided with a one way inlet valve, for connection to a feeding line of the pressurised circuit and an outlet provided with a one way outlet valve, for connection to a discharge line of the pressurised circuit and a piezo pump diaphragm closing one end of the pump chamber.
- the piezo pump diaphragm is the driving element which, when connected to an alternate current, vibrates for alternatingly sucking fluid through the one way inlet valve into the pump chamber and forcing the fluid through the one way outlet valve out of the pump chamber.
- a pressure chamber is defined at the side of the piezo pump diaphragm facing away from the pump chamber, wherein said pressure chamber is connected to a pressure source.
- the pressure in the pressure chamber at least partially compensates the pressure in the pump chamber, as a result of which the pressure difference over the piezo pump diaphragm is reduced and, consequently, the forces acting on the piezo pump diaphragm are reduced. This will substantially reduce the risk of leakages.
- the pressure source is defined by the feeding line which is connected to the pressure chamber via a pressure line.
- the invention relates to a piezo pump assembly comprising at least two piezo pumps connected to each other in series, wherein the outlet of a previous piezo pump is connected to the inlet of a following piezo pump. This allows to achieve an increased pressure difference.
- the pressure source of at least the first piezo pump is defined by the feeding line wherein the pressure source of at least the last piezo pump is defined by the discharge line which is connected to the pressure chamber of said last piezo pump via an additional pressure line.
- the feeding line acts as a pressure source for the pressure chamber to which it is connected.
- the discharge line acts as a pressure source for the pressure chamber to which it is connected.
- the pressure chamber of the first piezo pump will be connected to the feeding line and the pressure chamber of the second piezo pump will be connected to the discharge line.
- the invention also relates to a piezo pump device comprising a number of piezo pump assemblies according to the present invention connected to each other in parallel. Thus the total delivery may be increased.
- each piezo pump or piezo pump assembly has a planar configuration wherein these piezo pumps or piezo pump assemblies are stacked in a planar fashion to define a pillar like structure.
- the invention also relates to a pressurised circuit comprising a piezo pump assembly or piezo pump device according to the invention.
- FIG 1 a pressurised circuit for a fluid is illustrated schematically.
- a circuit may, for example, be used as a cooling circuit for electronics 1 in a satellite.
- the circuit as illustrated further comprises a heat exchanger 2 and possibly an accumulator vessel 3.
- a piezo pump 4 which comprises a pump chamber 5 with an inlet 6 provided with a one way inlet valve 7, for connection to a feeding line 8 of the pressurised circuit and an outlet 9 provided with a one way outlet valve 10, for connection to a discharge line 11 of the pressurised circuit.
- the piezo pump 4 further is provided with a piezo pump diaphragm 12 that closes one end of the pump chamber 5 and that by control lines 13 is connected to a control unit 14.
- a piezo pump diaphragm 12 that closes one end of the pump chamber 5 and that by control lines 13 is connected to a control unit 14.
- electric control signals for example an alternate current
- the piezo pump diaphragm 12 will vibrate between two positions (for example 12 and 12') for alternatingly sucking fluid into the pump chamber 5 through the inlet 6 and forcing fluid out of the pump chamber 5 through the outlet 9.
- a pressure chamber 15 is defined at the side of the piezo pump diaphragm 12 facing away from the pump chamber 5 and this pressure chamber 15 is connected to the feeding line 8 via a pressure line 16.
- the pressure chamber 15 may be connected directly to a pressurised vessel 17 or another pressure source.
- the pressure in the pressure chamber 15 at least partially compensates the pressure in the pump chamber 5, as a result of which the pressure difference over the piezo pump diaphragm 12 is reduced and, consequently, the forces acting on the piezo pump diaphragm 12 are reduced. This will substantially reduce the risk of leakages past said diaphragm.
- Figure 2 illustrates a piezo pump assembly according to the invention comprising two piezo pumps 4' and 4" connected to each other in series, wherein the outlet 9' of the first piezo pump 4' is connected to the inlet 6" of the second piezo pump 4".
- the pressure chamber 15' of the first piezo pump 4' is connected to the feeding line 8 by a pressure line 16', but the pressure chamber 15" of the second piezo pump 4" is connected to the discharge line 11 via an additional pressure line 18.
- Figure 3 shows an embodiment of a piezo pump assembly with three piezo pumps 4', 4" and 4'", wherein only the pressure chamber 15'" of the last piezo pump 4'" is connected to the discharge line 11. The pressure chambers of the remaining piezo pumps all are connected to the feeding line 8.
- FIG. 3 in dotted lines illustrates an alternative possibility according to which the pressure chamber 15" of the second piezo pump 4" is connected to the outlet 9' of the first piezo pump 4' by a connecting line 19 (and is not connected to the feeding line 8). A similar situation may occur for the pressure chamber 15'".
- FIG 4 a special embodiment of the piezo pump is illustrated which comprises an additional pump chamber 20 (taking the place of the pressure chamber) at the side of the piezo pump diaphragm 12 opposite the pump chamber 5.
- Said additional pump chamber 20 likewise is provided with an inlet 21 provided with a one way inlet valve 22, for connection to the feeding line 8 of the pressurised circuit and an outlet 23 provided with a one way outlet valve 24, for connection to the discharge line 11 of the pressurised circuit.
- the piezo pump diaphragm 12 is common for both the pump chamber 5 and the additional pump chamber 20.
- the additional pump chamber 20 acts as the pressure chamber for the pump chamber 5, and the pump chamber 5 acts as a pressure chamber for the additional pump chamber 20.
- two piezo pumps according to figure 4 are connected to each other in series (wherein the outlets of a first piezo pump are connected to the inlets of a second piezo pump).
- the outlets of a first piezo pump are connected to the inlets of a second piezo pump.
- a schematic representation is illustrated of a piezo pump device according to the invention comprising two piezo pump assemblies (one comprising two piezo pumps 25 and 26 connected in series and the other comprising two piezo pumps 27 and 28 connected in series) connected to each other in parallel.
- two piezo pump assemblies may be connected in parallel and each such piezo pump assembly may comprise any number of piezo pumps (also only one), wherein those numbers do not have to be the same for all piezo pump assemblies.
- each piezo pump or piezo pump assembly as described above has a planar configuration and wherein a number of such piezo pumps or piezo pump assemblies 29 are stacked in a planar fashion to define a pillar like structure 30 as shown in figure 7 .
