Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sludge pump with a material feed container and two discharge ports connected to the front side of each delivery opening in the container wall, which are connected by a arranged in the interior of the material feed hopper alternately with the container interior and a delivery line and the delivery piston alternately a Carry out filling stroke and a delivery stroke.
  • the pipe switch has an inlet opening pointing in the direction of the outlet openings and designed as a circular arc-shaped elongated hole, the width of which corresponds to the diameter and its length to the outer spacing of the mouth openings and which each has a closure projection protruding beyond the outer edge of the inlet opening in the pivoting direction Longitudinal extent corresponds to the distance between the mouth openings (DE-195 03 986 A1).
  • the well-known slurry pump is characterized in particular by the fact that formed as a curved slot inlet opening and the two closure approaches of the pipe switch ensure that during the Schwenkating. Switching the pipe switch at least temporarily a short circuit of the two delivery cylinder is made. With these measures it is achieved that during the switching operation of the pipe switch, the two delivery cylinders temporarily separated from the interior of the material feed container and can be shorted together under common connection with the delivery line, so that the one delivery piston still stop its delivery stroke and at the same time the other delivery piston with its delivery already can start. The delivery piston terminating the delivery stroke will only perform its subsequent filling stroke when the short circuit between the two outlet openings is canceled again and the associated delivery cylinder is connected to the container interior.
  • the present invention seeks to improve the well-known slurry pump of the type specified in that both in the stationary and in the moving state of the transfer tube a sufficient seal in the area of the diverter tank wall partition parts is guaranteed.
  • the solution according to the invention essentially consists in that the pipe switch has a metallic ring element having the arcuate slot and a cushion element arranged between the ring element and a pivot pipe connected on the output side to the conveyor line, the cushion having a perforation comprising the slot, the ring element being relative to the pivot pipe limited axially movable and can be pressed against the inner surface of the container wall via the cushion member under the action of the delivery pressure in the transfer tube.
  • the cushioning element has a non-circular areal cross-sectional shape.
  • the preferably rubber-elastic material behaves almost incompressible, much like a liquid that transfers the hydraulic pressure evenly in all directions. This means that the pressure of the conveyed material from the inside of the diverter valve ideally propagates uniformly over the upholstery element, namely into the closure extensions.
  • the metallic ring member is pressed against the inner surface of the container wall, although only the inlet contour of the cushion member is in contact with the pressurized conveying medium.
  • a further improvement in this regard can be achieved by providing within the cushioning element a kind of fluid or gel pocket over which the pressure can be transferred even better.
  • the container wall carries on its inner surface facing the ring member a provided with the mouth openings replaceable wear plate. This can be relatively easily replaced in case of wear. In addition, this can be used against the material container wear-resistant and therefore more expensive material.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the ring element has a schwenkrohr facility arranged, adapted over its outer contour to the cushion element, step-shaped pocket for receiving the cushion element.
  • a further improvement in this regard is achieved when the ring member is also limited to the slot through a stepped pocket wall whose height is smaller than the outer edge of the bag.
  • a further improvement of the positioning of the ring element on the pivot tube is achieved in that at the cylinder-side end of the pivot tube an arcuately limited, penetrated by a pivot tube channel elevation is arranged, which has a corresponding outer contour of the pocket in the ring element.

  • the sludge pump shown in Fig. 1 has a material supply container 10 for receiving thick matter, such as liquid concrete.
  • the liquid concrete is conveyed via a pipe bend 12 in an only indicated conveying line 14.

  • the delivery pistons 22, 23 are moved by means of hydraulic cylinder-piston units 26, 27, of which only the cylinders are schematically indicated in FIG. 1.
  • the diverter 24 has an opening in the direction of the orifices 18,19, designed as arcuate curved slot 28 inlet opening whose width corresponds to the diameter and the length of the outer distance of the mouth openings 18,19 and each one in Pivoting direction over the outer edge of the inlet opening 28 protruding closure approach 30,31, the longitudinal extent corresponds to the distance between the mouth openings 18,19 approximately.
  • a special feature of the invention is that the pipe switch has a bow-shaped elongated hole 28 exhibiting metallic ring member 32 and a between the ring member 32 and an output side connected to the feed line pivot pipe 34 arranged cushion member 36.
  • the padding element 36 has a long hole 28 in the ring member 32 comprehensive slot-shaped opening 38.

  • the cushion element 36 consists of a resilient, elastic or rubber-elastic material. A further improvement in the contact pressure effect can be achieved in that the cushioning element 36 contains a filling designed as an incompressible liquid.
  • the inlet opening of the pipe switch or of the ring element is designed with its curved slot shape so that the two delivery cylinders 16,17 are short-circuited via their orifices 18,19 within the slot 28. If, in this position, both delivery cylinders 16, 17 carry out a delivery stroke with their delivery pistons 22, 23, a smooth, bumpless switching process can be ensured. In preparation for the switching operation, a pre-pressure can already be built up in the previously filled delivery cylinder while the closure attachment 30, 31 is being moved past the diverter 24. This gives a further improvement in terms of the continuous flow through the delivery line during the switching process. On the other hand, this means that the piston speeds and thus also the stroke duration during the filling stroke and the delivery stroke are different, since due to the described functional Special features for the filling stroke less time available than for the delivery stroke.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une pompe à matière épaisse comportant un récipient d'alimentation en matière (10) et deux cylindres de refoulement (16, 17) raccordés respectivement par des orifices de sortie (18, 19) côté frontal à un orifice de passage (18', 19') ménagé dans la paroi de récipient (20). Les cylindres de refoulement (16, 17) peuvent être reliés alternativement avec l'intérieur du récipient (21) et un conduit de refoulement (14) par une vanne d'aiguillage (24) disposée à l'intérieur du récipient d'alimentation en matière (10) tandis que leurs pistons de refoulement (22, 23) exécutent alternativement une course de remplissage et une course de refoulement. La vanne d'aiguillage (24) comporte une ouverture d'entrée qui est dirigée vers les orifices de sortie (18, 19), qui est configurée sous la forme d'un trou oblong (28) incurvé en arc, dont la largeur correspond au diamètre des orifices de sortie (18, 19) et dont la longueur correspond à la distance extérieure entre ceux-ci et qui comporte un appendice de fermeture (30, 31) qui fait saillie, dans la direction de pivotement, de chaque bord extérieur du trou oblong et dont la longueur correspond à la distance entre les orifices de sortie. Selon l'invention, pour assurer une étanchéité fiable du point de séparation entre la vanne d'aiguillage (24) et la paroi de récipient (20), la vanne d'aiguillage (24) comporte un élément annulaire métallique (32), comprenant le trou oblong (28) en forme d'arc, ainsi qu'un élément tampon (36) qui est disposé entre l'élément annulaire (32) et un tuyau pivotant (34), relié au conduit de refoulement (14) du côté de la sortie et qui comporte un passage (38) entourant le trou oblong (28). L'élément annulaire (32) est mobile axialement par rapport au tuyau pivotant (34) et peut être pressé contre la surface intérieure de la paroi de récipient sous l'action de la pression de refoulement dans la vanne d'aiguillage (24) par le biais de l'élément tampon (36).
