Definitions
- the invention relates to a multi-stage centrifugal pump with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
- centrifugal pumps are known in numerous design variants, in this context, reference is made in particular to the Grundfos CR series, which is available in different sizes on the market. Common to all these pumps is that they have a foot part, with which they stand in operation on the ground or a foundation provided for this purpose, and a head part, which is designed as a motor chair or is provided for receiving a motor chair, via which a drive motor for the Pump is connectable.
- these are pumps in which the actual centrifugal pump and the drive motor essentially form independent units, which are coupled to one another in the area of the motorized chair.
- Normally standard motors are used which are not specially designed for these pumps, but which can also be used in other drive applications.
- This centrifugal pump must therefore be structurally designed so that it can accommodate floor mounted the drive motor mounted on the head part and its reaction forces.
- the centrifugal pumps are designed in series, the head and foot parts match each, but differ in the number of interposed pump stages.
- tie rods that give the pump the mechanical cohesion.
- tie rods are provided, which are formed from round material and are provided at the ends with an external thread.
- These tie rods are either fixed in threaded holes of the foot or fastened there by nuts, the headboard side, the free ends of the tie rods are guided through corresponding holes in the head and nuts are set there.
- This tie rods thus integrated between the headboard and footboard pump stages are clamped together, whereby the entire structure gets its stability.
- a disadvantage of multi-stage centrifugal pumps of this type is that the tie rods are quite expensive to assemble. So they must first be screwed in the foot, after which the connection is made with the head part and finally the headboard side nuts are placed and tightened with the required torque. Moreover, these helical tie rods are expensive and heavy. They are clearly projecting laterally relative to the cylindrical pump body, so that they always form attack surfaces on which it is easy to get caught with a tool or other objects. Due to the lateral projection on the pump body bending moments on the headboard and foot are also effective, which can lead to undesirable deformations.
- the invention has for its object to improve a multi-stage centrifugal pump of the type mentioned in terms of tie rods and their attachment.
- the multi-stage centrifugal pump according to the invention has a foot part and a head part, between which pump stages are incorporated.
- Headboard and footboard are connected together by tie rods which are fixed at one end to the headboard and at the other end to the footboard, the tie rods being threaded at one end with which they are braced at the headboard or at the footboard.
- the tie rods are at least partially formed from sheet metal and have at least at the other end, ie at the non-threaded end at least one recess in the sheet, with which they are fixed at least in the pulling direction positively on the foot or on the headboard.
- centrifugal pumps of the type in question here have a foot, with which they stand up on the ground or a foundation, that is, a component that carries the entire pump and the motor connected thereto.
- the tie rods are at least partially formed from sheet metal, preferably up to the threaded portion at one end completely made of sheet metal.
- the tie rods should as far as possible be formed of sheet metal, that is, the threaded portion should be formed as short as necessary.
- the sheet metal part should thus bridge the entire area between the headboard and footboard or end immediately before the head or footboard, where then joins the threaded portion.
- Such tie rods formed from sheet metal can be produced inexpensively, for example by laser cutting or punching, which is particularly advantageous in large quantities.
- connection is made on one side form-fitting manner by means of the at least one recess, either on the foot part or on the head part, preferably on the foot part, so that the thread is arranged headboard side and bolted there with a nut.
- the extensive design of the tie rods made of sheet metal also has the advantage that they can be adapted to the outer contour of the pump stages, whereby the radial size in the pump stages can be significantly reduced. As a result, the known in constructions according to the prior art torque loads of the head and foot can be significantly reduced.
- the design of the tie rods made of sheet metal also allows a much more aesthetically pleasing design than was the case in the prior art, in which the clamping bolts protrude externally body-like radially.
- the dimensioning of the tie rods depends on the forces to be absorbed and the tensile strength of the material used. However, they should advantageously be at least dimensioned so that an inherent stability of the tie rods is given. This can also be supported, for example, by the fact that the tie rods have a curvature adapted to the curvature of the pump body, ie are bent around their longitudinal axis. Such a curvature makes it possible to apply the tie rods practically without any spacing to the pump body formed in the region of the pump stages, so that these, which is particularly advantageous, have the same temperature level as the pump body.
- the determination of the end formed of sheet metal is carried out according to the invention by means of at least one recess into which engages a correspondingly provided on the foot or head part projection. If the recess is completely within the sheet, a peg-like or hook-like projection is provided on the foot or head part side, in order to obtain a positive connection in the pulling direction.
- a pin may, for example, lie within an anchor recess of the foot part or be formed at a suitable location on the foot part.
- the recesses are referred to below, which are provided for the positive fixing, ie for anchoring the end formed of sheet metal of a tie rod and are determined.
- recesses In contrast to the recesses in the end formed of sheet metal of a tie rod hereinafter referred to only as recesses. It may be either recesses in the form of holes within the sheet or lateral recesses.
- the recesses in the head part are referred to below as hole recesses in which the headboard ends of the tie rods are fixed. These may be holes, holes or laterally open recesses.
- the tie rods each have a recess on at least one longitudinal side.
- a positive fixing in the head or foot part can be done by designing a corresponding anchor recess, which has an area in which the tie rod is inserted and has another area at which a counter part engages in this recess. This state can be achieved, for example, by pivoting, transverse shifting or turning.
- lateral recesses are provided on both longitudinal sides of the tie rod, preferably on same height, then there is a particularly uniform force in the tie rod.
- the threaded end of the tie rod made of sheet metal, in which further material is applied to the sheet metal body either by folding or by applying, in which then a thread is cut or stamped.
- a threaded bolt which is connected to the formed part of the tie rod by welding.
- hole recesses through which the threaded ends of the tie rods are guided and fixed and braced there by means of a respective nut.
- This attachment is advantageously headboard side, wherein the head part is advantageously designed as a motor chair. It is then the same component which not only closes the pump steps upwards, but at the same time also forms the motor mount.
- the hole recesses may be laterally open, so that it is not necessary to put the threaded ends of the tie rods through them, but that they can be inserted, for example, from the side. This facilitates in particular the automated assembly.
- the part of the pump clamped between the foot part and the head part has a cylindrical section, for example formed by a tube which forms the return channel from the pressure side back to the foot part.
- a cylindrical section for example formed by a tube which forms the return channel from the pressure side back to the foot part.
- the tie rods can also be arranged at a distance, even with this arrangement, a technically and optically advantageous design may result.
- anchor recesses are preferably provided in the foot part, each having an insertion part and a holding part.
- the insertion part is designed so that a sheet metal formed end of a tie rod can be passed through this insertion part and indeed so far until the recesses lie on the longitudinal sides within these Ankeraus foundedept. Then, by moving or pivoting a tie rod can be transferred with its blechteil solutionen end of the insertion part of an anchor recess in the holding part, in which the tie rod is held positively at least in the direction of its longitudinal axis and in which the surrounding the anchor recesses material laterally into the recesses of the blechteil paragraphen end engages the tie rod.
- the transfer from the insertion part in the holding part can advantageously be carried out by radial displacement or in a simple manner by pivoting, as will be described in detail below.
- the anchor recesses are designed so that the holding parts radially outwardly adjoin the insertion parts, so that the cylindrical portion of the surrounding pump stages secure the ends of the tie rods, which lie in the Hal former the Ankeraus strictly aus, positively, so that they no longer in reach the area of the insertion parts, in which they can be pushed through for assembly or disassembly purposes.
- anchor recesses are arranged in a circle around the longitudinal center axis of the pump, preferably in the foot part, and their insertion parts are covered by a component of the pump, for example a pump stage or the circumferential jacket, for positive fixing of the tie rod located in the holding part.
- the tie rods are advantageously arranged symmetrically about the longitudinal center and axis of rotation of the pump around, there may be provided three, four or more tie rods.
- the anchor recesses are arranged in an axial wall, preferably of the foot part.
- the actual foot can consist of a plate, for example, made of cast iron and an upwardly adjoining part either also made of cast, so be designed as a one-piece component with the plate or possibly also as a sheet metal construction.
- the insertion parts of the anchor recesses are arranged in a radial wall and the holding parts of the anchor recesses in an axial wall, preferably of the foot part.
- Such an arrangement has the advantage that the tie rods can be inserted from the side and fixed in a form-fitting manner, for example by pivoting. This results in a very simple and reliable installation.
- the holding parts of the anchor recesses may alternatively be provided in a corresponding recess or recess in the radial wall, typically in its peripheral side.
- both the head part and the foot part are formed as a metallic casting, wherein the foot part for setting up the pump on a foundation, typically on the ground, formed is and the head part for receiving an electric motor driving the pump is formed.
- These components can then be used for a whole series of pumps, wherein only the tie rods and the incorporated therebetween pump stages or the surrounding the return channel forming pipe must be adjusted according to the number of pump stage.
- the pump is advantageously designed as an in-line pump and has a suction port and a pressure port in the foot part, wherein the pump stages are surrounded by an annular channel through which the last pump stage is connected to the pressure port in the foot and the outer channel wall either adjacent or
- the tie rods are arranged at a small distance.
- the foot part can be formed with its suction and pressure connection as a casting, but it can also be constructed, for example, only the actual foot part forming plate made of cast iron and the rest of the foot part of sheet metal.
- tie rods are formed except for the threaded end portion of sheet metal, so the sheet metal part of the tie rod extends from the foot to the head or right up to it.
- the tie rods lie almost flush with the otherwise there cylindrical pump body. It when the tie rods are integrally formed and in particular also intrinsically stable, since then they are relatively easily einliederbar in largely automated assembly processes is particularly advantageous.
- the foot part has a cup-shaped structure, wherein the anchor recesses are then advantageously arranged where the pot bottom merges into the pot wall. It may then be provided, for example, the insertion part of the anchor recesses in the wall and the holding part in the ground. The anchor recess then extends into two areas. If the foot part is fluid-conducting and for this reason the inner side of the pot wall can not be provided with anchor recesses, the pot base can protrude radially beyond the pot wall, in order accordingly to arrange anchor recesses on the outside.

- a cylindrical pipe section 8 is arranged, which surrounds the pump stages at a distance and forms an annular channel through which the exiting at the end of the last pump stage liquid is led to the pressure port 6.
- the pump is closed by a head part 9, which at the same time forms a motor chair for an electric motor which can be flanged there.
- the suction and pressure connection 5, 6 having component, the adjoining pump stages, the surrounding pipe section 8 and the cover part 7 are clamped between the foot part 2 and the head part 9 positive and non-positive, by four symmetrically about the longitudinal
- These tie rods 11 are made of sheet metal and have an elongated narrow shape, they are bent about their longitudinal axis, corresponding to the curvature of the pipe section 8, so that they like Fig. 1 it can be seen that they continue to the outside.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine mehrstufige Kreiselpumpe mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a multi-stage centrifugal pump with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Kreiselpumpen sind in zahlreichen Konstruktionsvarianten bekannt, es wird in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere auf die Grundfos-CR-Serie verwiesen, welche in unterschiedlichen Baugrößen am Markt verfügbar ist. Allen diesen Pumpen gemeinsam ist, dass sie ein Fußteil aufweisen, mit dem sie im Betrieb auf dem Boden bzw. einem dafür vorgesehenen Fundament stehen sowie ein Kopfteil, welches als Motorstuhl ausgebildet ist oder zur Aufnahme eines Motorstuhls vorgesehen ist, über welchen ein Antriebsmotor für die Pumpe anschließbar ist. Es handelt sich hierbei also um Pumpen, bei denen die eigentliche Kreiselpumpe und der Antriebsmotor im Wesentlichen unabhängige Aggregate bilden, die im Bereich des Motorstuhls miteinander bewegungsgekoppelt sind. Dabei werden typischerweise Normmotoren eingesetzt, die nicht speziell für diese Pumpen ausgelegt sind, sondern die auch in anderen Antriebsanwendungen Verwendung finden können. Diese Kreiselpumpe muss daher konstruktiv so ausgestaltet sein, dass sie bodenstehend den am Kopfteil befestigten Antriebsmotor und dessen Reaktionskräfte aufnehmen kann. Die Kreiselpumpen werden dabei in Baureihen konzipiert, deren Kopf- und Fußteile jeweils übereinstimmen, die sich jedoch in der Anzahl der dazwischen angeordneten Pumpenstufen unterscheiden.Such centrifugal pumps are known in numerous design variants, in this context, reference is made in particular to the Grundfos CR series, which is available in different sizes on the market. Common to all these pumps is that they have a foot part, with which they stand in operation on the ground or a foundation provided for this purpose, and a head part, which is designed as a motor chair or is provided for receiving a motor chair, via which a drive motor for the Pump is connectable. In other words, these are pumps in which the actual centrifugal pump and the drive motor essentially form independent units, which are coupled to one another in the area of the motorized chair. Normally standard motors are used which are not specially designed for these pumps, but which can also be used in other drive applications. This centrifugal pump must therefore be structurally designed so that it can accommodate floor mounted the drive motor mounted on the head part and its reaction forces. The centrifugal pumps are designed in series, the head and foot parts match each, but differ in the number of interposed pump stages.
Bei bekannten Kreiselpumpen dieser Art sind die Pumpenstufen zwischen Kopfteil und Fußteil eingegliedert, wobei Kopfteil und Fußteil über Zuganker verbunden sind, die der Pumpe den mechanischen Zusammenhalt geben. Hierzu sind in der Regel vier symmetrisch um den Umfang der Pumpenstufen verteilte Zuganker vorgesehen, die aus Rundmaterial gebildet sind und an den Enden mit einem Außengewinde versehen sind. Diese Zuganker sind entweder in Gewindelöchern des Fußteils festgelegt oder mittels Muttern dort befestigt, wobei kopfteilseitig die freien Enden der Zuganker durch entsprechende Bohrungen im Kopfteil geführt sind und über Muttern dort festgelegt sind. Über diese Zuganker werden somit die zwischen Kopfteil und Fußteil eingegliederten Pumpenstufen miteinander verspannt, wodurch der gesamte Aufbau seine Stabilität erhält.In known centrifugal pumps of this type, the pump stages between the headboard and footboard are incorporated, with the headboard and footboard connected by tie rods that give the pump the mechanical cohesion. For this purpose, four generally distributed symmetrically around the circumference of the pump stages tie rods are provided, which are formed from round material and are provided at the ends with an external thread. These tie rods are either fixed in threaded holes of the foot or fastened there by nuts, the headboard side, the free ends of the tie rods are guided through corresponding holes in the head and nuts are set there. About this tie rods thus integrated between the headboard and footboard pump stages are clamped together, whereby the entire structure gets its stability.
Nachteilig bei mehrstufigen Kreiselpumpen dieser Art ist, dass die Zuganker recht aufwendig zu montieren sind. So müssen diese zunächst im Fußteil festgeschraubt werden, wonach die Verbindung mit dem Kopfteil erfolgt und schließlich die kopfteilseitigen Muttern aufgesetzt und mit dem erforderlichen Drehmoment angezogen werden. Darüber hinaus sind diese schraubenförmigen Zuganker teuer und schwer. Sie stehen seitlich gegenüber dem zylindrischen Pumpenkörper deutlich vor, so dass sie stets auch Angriffsflächen bilden, an denen man mit einem Werkzeug oder auch anderen Gegenständen leicht hängen bleiben kann. Durch den seitlichen Überstand über den Pumpenkörper werden darüber hinaus Biegemomente auf Kopfteil und Fußteil wirksam, welche zu unerwünschten Verformungen führen können.A disadvantage of multi-stage centrifugal pumps of this type is that the tie rods are quite expensive to assemble. So they must first be screwed in the foot, after which the connection is made with the head part and finally the headboard side nuts are placed and tightened with the required torque. Moreover, these helical tie rods are expensive and heavy. They are clearly projecting laterally relative to the cylindrical pump body, so that they always form attack surfaces on which it is easy to get caught with a tool or other objects. Due to the lateral projection on the pump body bending moments on the headboard and foot are also effective, which can lead to undesirable deformations.
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine mehrstufige Kreiselpumpe der eingangs genannten Art hinsichtlich der Zuganker und deren Befestigung zu verbessern.Against this background, the invention has for its object to improve a multi-stage centrifugal pump of the type mentioned in terms of tie rods and their attachment.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch eine mehrstufige Kreiselpumpe mit den in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und der Zeichnung angegeben. Hierbei können die in den Unteransprüchen und der Beschreibung angegebenen Merkmale jeweils für sich aber auch in geeigneter Kombination die erfindungsgemäße Lösung gemäß Anspruch 1 weiter ausgestalten.This object is achieved according to the invention by a multi-stage centrifugal pump having the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the subclaims, the following description and the drawing. In this case, the features specified in the subclaims and the description in each case but also in a suitable combination, the inventive solution according to claim 1 further develop.
Die erfindungsgemäße mehrstufige Kreiselpumpe weist ein Fußteil und ein Kopfteil auf, zwischen denen Pumpenstufen eingegliedert sind. Kopfteil und Fußteil sind über Zuganker miteinander verbunden, die mit einem Ende am Kopfteil und mit dem anderen Ende am Fußteil festgelegt sind, wobei die Zuganker an jeweils einem Ende mit einem Gewinde versehen sind, mit dem sie am Kopfteil oder am Fußteil verspannt sind. Gemäß der Erfindung sind die Zuganker zumindest abschnittsweise aus Blech gebildet und weisen jeweils am anderen Ende, also an dem nicht mit einem Gewinde versehenen Ende mindestens eine Ausnehmung im Blech auf, mit der sie zumindest in Zugrichtung formschlüssig am Fußteil oder am Kopfteil festgelegt sind.The multi-stage centrifugal pump according to the invention has a foot part and a head part, between which pump stages are incorporated. Headboard and footboard are connected together by tie rods which are fixed at one end to the headboard and at the other end to the footboard, the tie rods being threaded at one end with which they are braced at the headboard or at the footboard. According to the invention, the tie rods are at least partially formed from sheet metal and have at least at the other end, ie at the non-threaded end at least one recess in the sheet, with which they are fixed at least in the pulling direction positively on the foot or on the headboard.
Grundsätzlich spielt es keine Rolle, ob die Formschlussverbindung mittels der Ausnehmung fußteilseitig und die Schraubverbindung kopfteilseitig oder umgekehrt erfolgt, da das Kopfteil jedoch besser zugänglich ist, ist es in der Regel einfacher, die Schraubverbindung kopfteilseitig vorzusehen.In principle, it does not matter whether the form-fitting connection by means of the recess Fußteilseitig and the screw headboard side or vice versa, since the head part, however, is more accessible, it is usually easier to provide the screw headboard side.
Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, dass die Kreiselpumpen der hier in Rede stehenden Art ein Fußteil aufweisen, mit dem sie auf dem Boden oder einem Fundament aufstehen, das heißt ein Bauteil, das die gesamte Pumpe sowie den daran angeschlossenen Motor trägt.It should be noted that the centrifugal pumps of the type in question here have a foot, with which they stand up on the ground or a foundation, that is, a component that carries the entire pump and the motor connected thereto.
Gemäß der Erfindung sind die Zuganker mindestens abschnittsweise aus Blech gebildet, vorzugsweise bis auf den Gewindeteil an einem Ende vollständig aus Blech. Die Zuganker sollen so weit wie möglich aus Blech gebildet sein, das heißt der Gewindeteil soll so kurz wie notwendig ausgebildet sein. Der Blechteil sollte also den gesamten Bereich zwischen Kopfteil und Fußteil überbrücken oder unmittelbar vor dem Kopf- bzw. Fußteil enden, wo dann der Gewindeteil anschließt. Solche aus Blech gebildeten Zuganker können kostengünstig hergestellt werden, beispielsweise durch Laserschneiden oder Stanzen, was insbesondere bei großen Stückzahlen von Vorteil ist. Die Verbindung erfolgt einseitig formschlüssig mittels der mindestens einen Ausnehmung, entweder am Fußteil oder am Kopfteil, vorzugsweise am Fußteil, so dass das Gewinde kopfteilseitig angeordnet und dort mit einer Mutter verschraubt ist. Die weitgehende Ausgestaltung der Zuganker aus Blech hat weiterhin den Vorteil, dass diese an die Außenkontur der Pumpenstufen angeglichen werden können, wodurch die radiale Baugröße im Bereich der Pumpenstufen deutlich reduziert werden kann. Dadurch können auch die bei Konstruktionen nach dem Stand der Technik bekannten Momentenbelastungen von Kopf- und Fußteil deutlich verringert werden. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht die Ausgestaltung der Zuganker aus Blech auch eine ästhetisch wesentlich ansprechendere Gestaltung als dies nach dem Stand der Technik der Fall war, bei dem die Spannbolzen fremdkörperartig radial hervorstehen. Die Dimensionierung der Zuganker ist abhängig von den aufzunehmenden Kräften und der Zugfestigkeit des eingesetzten Materials. Sie sollten jedoch vorteilhaft mindestens so dimensioniert sein, dass eine Eigenstabilität der Zuganker gegeben ist. Dies kann beispielsweise auch dadurch unterstützt werden, dass die Zuganker eine an die Krümmung des Pumpenkörpers angepasste Krümmung aufweisen, also um ihre Längsachse gebogen sind. Eine solche Krümmung ermöglicht es, die Zuganker praktisch abstandsfrei an den durch den im Bereich der Pumpenstufen gebildeten Pumpenkörper anzulegen, so dass diese, was besonders vorteilhaft ist, das gleiche Temperaturniveau wie der Pumpenkörper aufweisen.According to the invention, the tie rods are at least partially formed from sheet metal, preferably up to the threaded portion at one end completely made of sheet metal. The tie rods should as far as possible be formed of sheet metal, that is, the threaded portion should be formed as short as necessary. The sheet metal part should thus bridge the entire area between the headboard and footboard or end immediately before the head or footboard, where then joins the threaded portion. Such tie rods formed from sheet metal can be produced inexpensively, for example by laser cutting or punching, which is particularly advantageous in large quantities. The connection is made on one side form-fitting manner by means of the at least one recess, either on the foot part or on the head part, preferably on the foot part, so that the thread is arranged headboard side and bolted there with a nut. The extensive design of the tie rods made of sheet metal also has the advantage that they can be adapted to the outer contour of the pump stages, whereby the radial size in the pump stages can be significantly reduced. As a result, the known in constructions according to the prior art torque loads of the head and foot can be significantly reduced. In addition, the design of the tie rods made of sheet metal also allows a much more aesthetically pleasing design than was the case in the prior art, in which the clamping bolts protrude externally body-like radially. The dimensioning of the tie rods depends on the forces to be absorbed and the tensile strength of the material used. However, they should advantageously be at least dimensioned so that an inherent stability of the tie rods is given. This can also be supported, for example, by the fact that the tie rods have a curvature adapted to the curvature of the pump body, ie are bent around their longitudinal axis. Such a curvature makes it possible to apply the tie rods practically without any spacing to the pump body formed in the region of the pump stages, so that these, which is particularly advantageous, have the same temperature level as the pump body.
Die Festlegung des aus Blech gebildeten Endes erfolgt gemäß der Erfindung mittels mindestens einer Ausnehmung, in die ein entsprechend am Fuß- oder Kopfteil vorgesehener Vorsprung eingreift. Wenn die Ausnehmung vollständig innerhalb des Blechs liegt, ist fuß- oder kopfteilseitig ein zapfenartiger oder hakenartiger Vorsprung vorzusehen, um einen Formschluss in Zugrichtung zu erhalten. Ein solcher Zapfen kann beispielsweise innerhalb einer Ankerausnehmung des Fußteils liegen oder auch an geeigneter Stelle am Fußteil angeformt sein.The determination of the end formed of sheet metal is carried out according to the invention by means of at least one recess into which engages a correspondingly provided on the foot or head part projection. If the recess is completely within the sheet, a peg-like or hook-like projection is provided on the foot or head part side, in order to obtain a positive connection in the pulling direction. Such a pin may, for example, lie within an anchor recess of the foot part or be formed at a suitable location on the foot part.
Als Ankerausnehmung sind im Folgenden die Ausnehmungen bezeichnet, die zum formschlüssigen Festlegen, also zum Verankern des aus Blech gebildeten Endes eines Zugankers vorgesehen und bestimmt sind. Im Unterscheid dazu werden die Ausnehmungen in dem aus Blech gebildeten Ende eines Zugankers im Folgenden nur als Ausnehmungen bezeichnet. Es kann sich dabei entweder um Ausnehmungen in Form von Löchern innerhalb des Bleches handeln oder um seitliche Ausnehmungen. Schließlich werden im Folgenden als Lochausnehmungen die Ausnehmungen im Kopfteil bezeichnet, in denen die kopfteilseitigen Enden der Zuganker festgelegt sind. Es kann sich dabei um Löcher, Bohrungen oder auch seitlich offene Ausnehmungen handeln.As an anchor recess, the recesses are referred to below, which are provided for the positive fixing, ie for anchoring the end formed of sheet metal of a tie rod and are determined. In contrast to the recesses in the end formed of sheet metal of a tie rod hereinafter referred to only as recesses. It may be either recesses in the form of holes within the sheet or lateral recesses. Finally, the recesses in the head part are referred to below as hole recesses in which the headboard ends of the tie rods are fixed. These may be holes, holes or laterally open recesses.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung die Zuganker jeweils an mindestens einer Längsseite eine Ausnehmung aufweisen. Dann kann eine formschlüssige Festlegung im Kopf- oder Fußteil durch Ausgestaltung einer entsprechenden Ankerausnehmung erfolgen, die einen Bereich hat, in welcher der Zuganker einführbar ist und einen weiteren Bereich hat, an welchem ein Konterteil in diese Ausnehmung eingreift. Dieser Zustand kann beispielsweise durch Schwenken, Querverschieben oder Drehen erzielt werden.It is particularly advantageous if, according to an embodiment of the invention, the tie rods each have a recess on at least one longitudinal side. Then, a positive fixing in the head or foot part can be done by designing a corresponding anchor recess, which has an area in which the tie rod is inserted and has another area at which a counter part engages in this recess. This state can be achieved, for example, by pivoting, transverse shifting or turning.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn an beiden Längsseiten des Zugankers seitliche Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sind, vorzugsweise auf gleicher Höhe, dann erfolgt eine besonders gleichmäßige Krafteinleitung in den Zuganker.It is particularly advantageous if lateral recesses are provided on both longitudinal sides of the tie rod, preferably on same height, then there is a particularly uniform force in the tie rod.
Grundsätzlich ist es denkbar, auch das mit Gewinde versehene Ende des Zugankers aus Blech zu bilden, in dem auf dem Blechgrundkörper entweder durch Faltung oder durch Auftragen weiteres Material aufgebracht wird, in das dann ein Gewinde geschnitten oder eingeprägt wird. Vorteilhaft ist gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung allerdings vorgesehen, die Zuganker an ihrem mit Gewinde versehenen Ende mit einem Gewindebolzen zu versehen, welcher mit dem aus Blech gebildeten Teil des Zugankers durch Schweißen verbunden ist.In principle, it is conceivable to also form the threaded end of the tie rod made of sheet metal, in which further material is applied to the sheet metal body either by folding or by applying, in which then a thread is cut or stamped. Advantageously, however, according to a development of the invention, it is provided to provide the tie rods at their threaded end with a threaded bolt, which is connected to the formed part of the tie rod by welding.
Um das mit Gewinde versehene Ende des Zugankers im Kopfteil bzw. Fußteil festzulegen, sind gemäß der Erfindung Lochausnehmungen vorgesehen, durch welche die mit Gewinde versehenen Enden der Zuganker hindurch geführt und dort mittels jeweils einer Mutter festgelegt und verspannt sind. Diese Befestigung erfolgt vorteilhaft kopfteilseitig, wobei das Kopfteil vorteilhaft als Motorstuhl ausgebildet ist. Dabei handelt es sich dann also um dasselbe Bauteil, welches nicht nur die Pumpenstufen nach oben abschließt, sondern gleichzeitig auch die Motoraufnahme bildet. Die Lochausnehmungen können seitlich offen sein, so dass es nicht erforderlich ist, die mit Gewinde versehenen Enden der Zuganker durch diese hindurch zu stecken, sondern dass diese beispielsweise auch von der Seite her eingeschoben werden können. Dies erleichtert insbesondere die automatisierte Montage.In order to fix the threaded end of the tie rod in the headboard or footboard, according to the invention, there are provided hole recesses through which the threaded ends of the tie rods are guided and fixed and braced there by means of a respective nut. This attachment is advantageously headboard side, wherein the head part is advantageously designed as a motor chair. It is then the same component which not only closes the pump steps upwards, but at the same time also forms the motor mount. The hole recesses may be laterally open, so that it is not necessary to put the threaded ends of the tie rods through them, but that they can be inserted, for example, from the side. This facilitates in particular the automated assembly.
Vorteilhaft weist der zwischen Fußteil und Kopfteil eingespannte Teil der Pumpe einen zylindrischen Abschnitt auf, beispielsweise gebildet durch ein Rohr, welches den Rücklaufkanal von der Druckseite zurück zum Fußteil bildet. Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, die aus Blech gebildeten Teile der Zuganker an die Krümmung dieses zylindrischen Abschnitts anzupassen, das heißt um ihre Längsachse zu verformen. Eine solche Verformung ermöglicht es, die Zuganker nahezu bündig an diesen zylindrischen Abschnitt anzulegen, wenn dies gewünscht wird. Alternativ können die Zuganker auch mit Abstand angeordnet werden, auch bei dieser Anordnung kann sich eine technisch und optisch vorteilhafte Bauform ergeben.Advantageously, the part of the pump clamped between the foot part and the head part has a cylindrical section, for example formed by a tube which forms the return channel from the pressure side back to the foot part. According to one embodiment of the invention, it is provided to adapt the parts of the tie rods formed from sheet metal to the curvature of this cylindrical portion, that is to their Deform longitudinal axis. Such deformation makes it possible to apply the tie rods almost flush to this cylindrical portion, if desired. Alternatively, the tie rods can also be arranged at a distance, even with this arrangement, a technically and optically advantageous design may result.
Zur formschlüssigen Eingliederung der Enden der Zuganker sind vorzugsweise im Fußteil Ankerausnehmungen vorgesehen, die jeweils einen Einführungsteil und einen Halteteil aufweisen. Der Einführungsteil ist dabei so ausgebildet, dass ein aus Blech gebildetes Ende eines Zugankers durch diesen Einführungsteil hindurchführbar ist und zwar so weit, bis die Ausnehmungen an den Längsseiten innerhalb dieser Ankerausnehmungen liegen. Dann kann durch Verschieben oder Verschwenken ein Zuganker mit seinem blechteilseitigen Ende von dem Einführungsteil einer Ankerausnehmung in den Halteteil überführt werden, in welchem der Zuganker zumindest in Richtung seiner Längsachse formschlüssig gehalten ist und in dem das die Ankerausnehmungen umgebende Material seitlich in die Ausnehmungen des blechteilseitigen Endes des Zugankers eingreift. Dabei kann das Überführen vom Einführungsteil in den Halteteil vorteilhaft durch radiales Verschieben oder in einfacher Weise durch Verschwenken erfolgen, wie dies weiter unten noch im Einzelnen beschrieben ist.For the positive integration of the ends of the tie rods anchor recesses are preferably provided in the foot part, each having an insertion part and a holding part. The insertion part is designed so that a sheet metal formed end of a tie rod can be passed through this insertion part and indeed so far until the recesses lie on the longitudinal sides within these Ankerausnehmungen. Then, by moving or pivoting a tie rod can be transferred with its blechteilseitigen end of the insertion part of an anchor recess in the holding part, in which the tie rod is held positively at least in the direction of its longitudinal axis and in which the surrounding the anchor recesses material laterally into the recesses of the blechteilseitigen end engages the tie rod. In this case, the transfer from the insertion part in the holding part can advantageously be carried out by radial displacement or in a simple manner by pivoting, as will be described in detail below.
Vorteilhaft sind die Ankerausnehmungen dabei so ausgestaltet, dass die Halteteile radial außen an die Einführungsteile anschließen, so dass der zylindrische Abschnitt des die Pumpenstufen umgebenden Bauteils die Enden der Zuganker, die in den Halteilen der Ankerausnehmungen liegen, formschlüssig sichern, so dass sie nicht mehr in den Bereich der Einführungsteile gelangen können, in welchen sie zur Montage- bzw. Demontagezwecken durchsteckbar sind.Advantageously, the anchor recesses are designed so that the holding parts radially outwardly adjoin the insertion parts, so that the cylindrical portion of the surrounding pump stages secure the ends of the tie rods, which lie in the Halteilen the Ankerausnehmungen, positively, so that they no longer in reach the area of the insertion parts, in which they can be pushed through for assembly or disassembly purposes.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Ankerausnehmungen kreisförmig um die Längsmittelachse der Pumpe vorzugsweise im Fußteil angeordnet sind und deren Einführungsteile durch ein Bauteil der Pumpe, zum Beispiel eine Pumpenstufe oder den umfänglichen Mantel, zum formschlüssigen Festlegen des im Halteteil befindlichen Zugankers abgedeckt sind. Die Zuganker werden vorteilhaft symmetrisch um die Längsmittel und Drehachse der Pumpe herum angeordnet, es können drei, vier oder mehr Zuganker vorgesehen sein.It is particularly advantageous if the anchor recesses are arranged in a circle around the longitudinal center axis of the pump, preferably in the foot part, and their insertion parts are covered by a component of the pump, for example a pump stage or the circumferential jacket, for positive fixing of the tie rod located in the holding part. The tie rods are advantageously arranged symmetrically about the longitudinal center and axis of rotation of the pump around, there may be provided three, four or more tie rods.
Konstruktiv besonders günstig ist es, wenn die Ankerausnehmungen in einer axialen Wandung vorzugsweise des Fußteils angeordnet sind. Bei dieser Anordnung kann das eigentliche Fußteil aus einer zum Beispiel aus Guss hergestellten Platte bestehen und ein sich nach oben daran anschließender Teil entweder ebenfalls aus Guss, also als einstückiges Bauteil mit der Platte oder gegebenenfalls auch als Blechkonstruktion ausgebildet sein.It is particularly advantageous in terms of construction if the anchor recesses are arranged in an axial wall, preferably of the foot part. In this arrangement, the actual foot can consist of a plate, for example, made of cast iron and an upwardly adjoining part either also made of cast, so be designed as a one-piece component with the plate or possibly also as a sheet metal construction.
Gemäß einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Einführungsteile der Ankerausnehmungen in einer radialen Wandung und die Halteteile der Ankerausnehmungen in einer axialen Wandung vorzugsweise des Fußteils angeordnet. Eine solche Anordnung hat den Vorteil, dass die Zuganker von der Seite eingeführt und zum Beispiel durch Verschwenken formschlüssig festgelegt werden können. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine sehr einfache und zugleich zuverlässige Montage. Dabei können die Halteteile der Ankerausnehmungen alternativ auch in einer entsprechenden Ausnehmung oder Aussparung in der radialen Wandung vorgesehen sein, typischerweise in deren Umfangsseite.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the insertion parts of the anchor recesses are arranged in a radial wall and the holding parts of the anchor recesses in an axial wall, preferably of the foot part. Such an arrangement has the advantage that the tie rods can be inserted from the side and fixed in a form-fitting manner, for example by pivoting. This results in a very simple and reliable installation. In this case, the holding parts of the anchor recesses may alternatively be provided in a corresponding recess or recess in the radial wall, typically in its peripheral side.
Vorteilhaft sind sowohl das Kopfteil als auch das Fußteil als metallisches Gussteil ausgebildet, wobei das Fußteil zum Aufstellen der Pumpe auf einem Fundament, typischerweise auf dem Boden, ausgebildet ist und das Kopfteil zur Aufnahme eines die Pumpe antreibenden elektrischen Motors ausgebildet ist. Diese Bauteile können dann für eine ganze Pumpenreihe Verwendung finden, wobei lediglich die Zuganker und die dazwischen eingegliederten Pumpenstufen bzw. das umgebende den Rückführkanal bildende Rohr entsprechend der Anzahl der Pumpenstufe angepasst sein müssen. Die Pumpe ist dabei vorteilhaft als Inline-Pumpe ausgestaltet und weist einen Sauganschluss und einen Druckanschluss im Fußteil auf, wobei die Pumpenstufen durch einen Ringkanal umgeben sind, durch welche die letzte Pumpenstufe mit dem Druckanschluss im Fußteil verbunden ist und an dessen äußerer Kanalwandung entweder anliegend oder vorzugsweise mit geringem Abstand die Zuganker angeordnet sind. Dabei kann das Fußteil mit seinem Saug- und Druckanschluss als Gussteil ausgebildet sein, es kann jedoch auch zum Beispiel nur eine das eigentliche Fußteil bildende Platte aus Guss und der Rest des Fußteils aus Blech aufgebaut sein.Advantageously, both the head part and the foot part are formed as a metallic casting, wherein the foot part for setting up the pump on a foundation, typically on the ground, formed is and the head part for receiving an electric motor driving the pump is formed. These components can then be used for a whole series of pumps, wherein only the tie rods and the incorporated therebetween pump stages or the surrounding the return channel forming pipe must be adjusted according to the number of pump stage. The pump is advantageously designed as an in-line pump and has a suction port and a pressure port in the foot part, wherein the pump stages are surrounded by an annular channel through which the last pump stage is connected to the pressure port in the foot and the outer channel wall either adjacent or Preferably, the tie rods are arranged at a small distance. In this case, the foot part can be formed with its suction and pressure connection as a casting, but it can also be constructed, for example, only the actual foot part forming plate made of cast iron and the rest of the foot part of sheet metal.
Besonders günstig ist es, wenn die Zuganker bis auf den mit Gewinde versehenen Endteil aus Blech ausgebildet sind, also der Blechteil des Zugankers sich vom Fußteil bis zum Kopfteil oder bis unmittelbar davor erstreckt. Hierdurch ist zum einen eine kostengünstige Fertigung und zum anderen eine optisch und technisch zu bevorzugende Konstruktion realisierbar, bei welcher die Zuganker nahezu bündig an dem im Übrigen dort zylindrischen Pumpenkörper anliegen. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Zuganker einstückig und insbesondere auch eigenstabil ausgebildet sind, da dann diese in weitgehend automatisierten Montageprozessen relativ einfach eingliederbar sind.It is particularly advantageous if the tie rods are formed except for the threaded end portion of sheet metal, so the sheet metal part of the tie rod extends from the foot to the head or right up to it. As a result, on the one hand a cost-effective production and on the other a visually and technically preferable construction feasible, in which the tie rods lie almost flush with the otherwise there cylindrical pump body. It when the tie rods are integrally formed and in particular also intrinsically stable, since then they are relatively easily einliederbar in largely automated assembly processes is particularly advantageous.
Vorteilhaft weist das Fußteil eine topfförmige Struktur auf, wobei die Ankerausnehmungen dann vorteilhaft dort angeordnet sind, wo der Topfboden in Topfwand übergeht. Es kann dann beispielsweise der Einführungsteil der Ankerausnehmungen in der Wand und der Halteteil im Boden vorgesehen sein. Die Ankerausnehmung erstreckt sich dann in beiden Bereichen. Wenn das Fußteil flüssigkeitsführend ist und aus diesem Grund die Innenseite der Topfwand nicht mit Ankerausnehmungen versehen sein kann, kann der Topfboden radial über die Topfwand hinausragen, um entsprechend außenseitig Ankerausnehmungen anzuordnen.Advantageously, the foot part has a cup-shaped structure, wherein the anchor recesses are then advantageously arranged where the pot bottom merges into the pot wall. It may then be provided, for example, the insertion part of the anchor recesses in the wall and the holding part in the ground. The anchor recess then extends into two areas. If the foot part is fluid-conducting and for this reason the inner side of the pot wall can not be provided with anchor recesses, the pot base can protrude radially beyond the pot wall, in order accordingly to arrange anchor recesses on the outside.

Bei der anhand von
Das den Saug- und Druckanschluss 5, 6 aufweisende Bauteil, die sich daran anschließenden Pumpenstufen, der diese umgebende Rohrabschnitt 8 und das Deckelteil 7 sind zwischen dem Fußteil 2 und dem Kopfteil 9 form- und kraftschlüssig eingespannt, und zwar durch vier symmetrisch um die Längs- und Drehachse 10 der Pumpe angeordnete Zuganker 11. Diese Zuganker 11 sind aus Blech gefertigt und haben eine langgestreckte schmale Form, sie sind um ihre Längsachse gebogen, entsprechend der Krümmung des Rohrabschnittes 8, so dass sie wie dies aus
Jede Ankerausnehmung weist einen Einführungsteil 19 auf sowie einen Halteteil 20, die auf das untere Ende 12 eines Zugankers abgestimmt sind. So ist der Einführungsteil 19 so dimensioniert, dass er der Querschnittsfläche des Blechabschnitts 15 entspricht, das heißt das ein Zuganker 11 mit seinem unteren Ende 12 von oben in den Einführungsteil 19 einsteckbar und hindurchführbar ist. Dieses untere Ende 12 wird so weit in den Einführungsteil 19 eingeführt, bis die Ausnehmungen 16 in Höhe der Ankerausnehmung 18 angeordnet sind, sodann wird der Zuganker 11 in der Ankerausnehmung 18 radial nach außen verschoben, so dass der vergleichsweise schmale Stegteil 21, der zwischen den Ausnehmungen 16 im Blechabschnitt 15 gebildet ist, in den Halteteil 20 der Ankerausnehmung 18 gelangt, wodurch der Zuganker 11 in Zugrichtung 22 formschlüssig im Fußteil 2 festgelegt ist. Dabei ist der Halteteil 20 der Ankerausnehmung 18, der in der axialen Wandung 17 der Aufnahme 4 angeordnet ist, in der radialen Wandung 23 der Aufnahme 4 entsprechend der schräg nach oben auslaufenden Ausnehmungen 16 fortgesetzt, so dass der Zuganker in dieser Stellung außerhalb der eigentlichen Aufnahme 4, nämlich radial versetzt dazu angeordnet ist.Each anchor recess has an
Die Aufnahme 4, die hinsichtlich ihrer Dimensionierung zur Aufnahme des den Saug- und Druckanschluss 5, 6 aufnehmenden Bauteils vorgesehen ist, kann dieses Bauteil nach Eingliedern der Zuganker 11 nach wie vor aufnehmen, jedoch mit der Wirkung, dass durch Eingliedern des Bauteils in die Aufnahme 4 die Einführungsteile 9 der Ankerausnehmungen 18 verschlossen und somit die unteren Enden 12 der Zuganker 11 formschlüssig innerhalb des Fußteils 2 festgelegt sind.The
Sobald die Zuganker 11 formschlüssig innerhalb des Fußteils 2 festgelegt sind, können die übrigen Pumpenteile insbesondere die Pumpenstufen, der Rohrabschnitt 8 und das Deckelteil 7 eingegliedert werden, wonach von oben das Kopfteil 9 aufgesetzt wird. Dabei gelangen die oberen Enden 13, also die mit Gewinde versehenen Bolzen 14 durch Lochausnehmungen 24 in das Kopfteil 9, die fluchtend zu den im Fußteil 2 angeordneten Ankerausnehmungen 8 angeordnet sind, so dass nach Aufsetzen des Kopfteils die durch die Lochausnehmungen 24 hindurchragenden Bolzen 14 unter Zwischenschaltung von Unterlegscheiben mit Muttern 25 versehen und verspannt werden. Hierdurch erhält die gesamte Kreiselpumpe 1 eine geschlossene und stabile Struktur, wobei, wie insbesondere aus

Der Halteteil 20a einer Ankerausnehmung 18a ist bei dem vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel in der axialen Wandung 17a vorgesehen, es kann jedoch auch dieser Teil der Ankerausnehmung 18a in der radialen Wandung 23a vorgesehen sein, wenn diese entsprechend dimensioniert und eine auf das untere Ende 12 des Zugankers 11 abgestimmte, das heißt in der Form korrespondierende Ausnehmung oder Aussparung aufweist.The holding
Der wesentliche Vorteil bei der vorbeschriebenen Anordnung besteht darin, dass die Pumpe quasi vollständig vom Fußteil 2a ausgehend bis zum Kopfteil 9a aufgebaut werden kann, wonach abschließend die Zuganker 11 in die Ankerausnehmungen 18a eingeführt und durch Verschwenken dort formschlüssig gesichert werden. Die entsprechende Zugspannung zwischen Fußteil 2a und Kopfteil 9a wird dann durch Anziehen der Mutter 25 mit dem vorgesehenen Drehmoment aufgebracht. Diese Bauart ist daher besonders vorteilhaft für eine zumindest teilautomatisierte Montage geeignet.The main advantage of the above-described arrangement is that the pump can be constructed almost completely starting from the foot part 2a to the head part 9a, after which the
