Definitions

  • the invention relates to a centrifuge specified in the preamble of claim 1 species,
  • centrifuges in many forms known. Especially with laboratory centrifuges, efforts have always been made to propose devices which are as compact as possible, since the space available in laboratories is often limited. In addition, laboratory centrifuges are usually loaded and unloaded from above and therefore above the devices sufficient space must be available to open the lid.
  • a generic centrifuge is from the DE 39 22 744 A1 known and has a rotor for receiving containers with centrifuging. Via a drive shaft, the rotor is driven, for which the drive shaft is connected to a motor.
  • the motor with drive shaft and rotor are connected to a bearing unit which has a plurality of damping elements comprising a spring axis. The whole is connected to a support member for fixing the motor in the centrifuge.
  • the spring axes of the damping elements can be employed at an acute angle ⁇ to the axis of rotation Y of the motor.
  • the damping elements are each connected via a strut with the bearing unit.
  • the struts are employed and arranged so that they are concentrically aligned with the respective spring axis of the damping elements.
  • the bearing unit comprises a support plate and cooperates with spring elements in addition to the damping elements.
  • the DE 195 16 904 A1 discloses a laboratory centrifuge with a vibration damping device
  • the object of the present invention is to provide, while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned, a centrifuge, in particular a laboratory centrifuge, which is mounted so that the damping elements are optimally loaded and improved damping is achieved.
  • the invention is based on the finding that in imbalance no tilting movement of the rotor takes place, but a wobbling motion.
  • an up and down movement has always been assumed due to the upward and downward movement of the rotor observed during operation.
  • the forces do not act parallel to the axis of rotation. Rather, it concerns forces whose vectors are employed obliquely to the axis of rotation.
  • the centrifuge has a rotor for receiving containers with Zentrifugiergut, a drive shaft on which the rotor is mounted, a motor which drives the rotor via the drive shaft, a bearing unit with a respective spring axis comprising damping elements and a support member for fixing the Engine over the storage unit in the centrifuge.
  • the spring axes of the damping elements are employed at an acute angle ⁇ to the axis of rotation of the motor. Since forces arising from the rotation of the rotor, especially in the occurrence of imbalance, resulting vibration, also act at an acute angle to the axis of rotation of the motor, this alignment of the damping elements has the advantage that the forces acting on the damping elements then mainly train and pressure forces are. Forces that place more strain on the damping elements and result in faster wear, such as shear forces, are minimized or eliminated by this arrangement. So can the life of the Damping elements are easily increased significantly and the damping can be significantly improved.
  • the bearing unit comprises a plurality of struts, preferably 3 to 21, which are connected to the damping elements and which are employed and arranged so that they are aligned concentrically with the respective spring axis. Due to the enlarged diameter at the bottom of the bearing unit a higher stability and thus an improved damping effect for the rotor are achieved.
  • the storage unit has a fixedly connected to the motor upper support plate and a firmly connected to the support member lower support plate.
  • the bearing unit is stiffened and can better absorb and derive forces originating from the centrifuge.
  • the upper support plate and the struts are connected to each other via first spring elements.
  • the angle ⁇ is in the range of 10 ° to 42 °, since experience shows that the forces originating from an imbalance and originating from the centrifuge act at an angle within this range with respect to the axis of rotation of the motor. Thus, a large part of these forces can be passed as tensile or compressive forces in the damping elements, and shear and bending forces are significantly reduced. This further reduces harmful loading of the damping elements and increases their life.
  • angle ⁇ is in the range of 15 ° to 25 °, since, as has been shown in numerous simulations, especially in laboratory centrifuges, the forces emanating from the centrifuge usually work in an angle lying within this range. This reduces the life of the damping elements detrimental shear and bending forces to a minimum,
  • the damping elements between the struts and the lower support plate are arranged. Due to the increased spacing of the damping elements and the increased diameter change the leverage ratios in the bearing unit so that an improved damping effect is achieved.
  • damping elements for example spring bearings, hydraulic bearings or magnetic bearings.
  • damping elements for example spring bearings, hydraulic bearings or magnetic bearings.
  • rubber-metal elements has proven to be advantageous as a damper, since they are space-saving and inexpensive.
  • the lower support plate and the damping elements are connected to each other via second spring elements. Again, a portion of the forces originating from the centrifuge is absorbed by the second spring elements, and due to the uniform distribution of the spring elements over the circumference of the lower carrier plate, the forces are delivered evenly to this. This improves the damping effect of the bearing element again.
  • the mass element is connected by third spring elements with the struts, the mass element on the one hand stabilize the damping elements by its mass and on the other hand, similar to the upper and lower support plate, record horizontally extending forces and amplitude excursions and forward from strut to strut. As a result, the rigidity of the bearing element is further increased and the damping of the system is further improved.
  • the mass element comprises two disk-shaped ground plates and an intermediate fixing plate.
  • the disc-shaped design ensures optimal distribution of the mass and a small footprint.
  • the structural separation between ground plates and fixing plate causes a simpler construction, since the struts need only be connected to the relatively thin fixing plate.
  • the first, second and / or third spring elements are formed as tabs which project from the associated plate, such as the upper support plate, the lower support plate and / or the fixing plate, and are elastically movable.
  • the connection between the plates and the struts or the damping elements is simplified. This facilitates in particular the assembly of the storage unit,
  • the tabs and the associated plates are made of metal. In the production, it is therefore possible to choose from a large number of metals and alloys and to respond well to the respective structural requirements of the centrifuge.
  • the upper support plate, the lower support plate and / or fixing plate are formed as an annular disc. Ring washers are easy to manufacture, and a uniform distribution of the struts or the damping elements over its circumference is easy to implement. This results in a good distribution of deflected over the tabs on the respective plates forces. The bearing element gains thereby stability and damping performance.
  • At least one plate with its associated tabs is integrally formed by the upper support plate, the lower support plate and the fixing plate and in particular is formed of metal, preferably made of sheet steel.
  • the tabs can be produced in a stamping and bending process with the carrier plate. Furthermore, results from the integral formation of plate and tabs improved stability of the bearing element.
  • the motor may include mounting feet projecting from the motor housing, spaced equidistantly about the motor housing and through which the motor is fixedly connected to the bearing unit.
  • the motor is connected via the mounting feet with the upper support plate, wherein between the mounting feet tabs of the upper support plate are provided.
  • Fig. 1 a laboratory centrifuge 10 is shown in side view. For better visibility of the invention essential elements is omitted in this and the other figures on the presentation of the centrifuge housing.
  • a motor 18 which is at the same time the axis of rotation of the centrifuge 10, located at the upper end of a rotor 12 which receives container with centrifuging.
  • the rotor 12 is supported on a motor shaft 14 which is driven by the underlying motor 18.
  • the motor 18 is surrounded by a motor housing 24.
  • the motor shaft 14 is via an upper bearing 16 and on the side facing the bearing a motor shaft 14 enclosing the lower bearing 22, see Fig. 5 , rotatably mounted in the motor housing 24.
  • the motor shaft 14 is rotatably connected in a known manner with the rotor 12, for example via a Dahlnutprofil not shown here.
  • the motor housing 24 On the side facing away from the rotor 12 side of the motor 18, the motor housing 24 is provided with equally spaced mounting feet 20, via which the motor 18 is fixedly connected to an upper support plate 32 of a bearing unit 30.

  • a lower support plate 38 On the side facing away from the motor 18 side of the bearing unit 30 is a lower support plate 38. On the lower support plate 38 are provided as damping elements inclined rubber-metal elements 36, which in turn fixed at about the same angle struts 34 with the upper support plate 32 are connected. With respect to the longitudinal axis Y are as angles of incidence ⁇ for the rubber-metal elements 36 and the associated struts 34 in principle angles between 10 ° and 42 ° advantageous because the forces based on imbalance, upon rotation of the rotor 12 in the region of this Angle act. For the present embodiment of the centrifuge 10, an angle of incidence ⁇ of 21 ° has proven particularly suitable.
  • a mass member 40 is provided, which is fixedly connected to the struts 34 and the rubber-metal elements 36.
