Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a double-diaphragm pump, comprising a pump housing with two parallel line sections, each with a diaphragm chamber, which is enclosed in each case between two ball valves closing in the same direction in the flow direction and liquid-tight by a membrane in a liquid chamber and an air chamber, a method for operating such a double diaphragm pump , And a diaphragm pump comprising a pump housing with a diaphragm chamber which is enclosed between two in the same direction in the direction of closing ball valves and liquid-tightly divided by a membrane in a liquid chamber and an air chamber.
  • Double diaphragm pumps have long been known in the art. They are known to transport even difficult conveyed goods and are based on the fact that two membranes in opposite membrane chambers alternately fill a liquid space in a suction movement and empty it in a pressure movement. Ball valves ensure a given conveying direction by blocking the inlet side during the pressure movement and the outlet side during the suction movement.
  • the diaphragms are coupled by means of a rigid connecting shaft and therefore move in a push-pull manner.
  • the prior art preferably provides for actuation of the membranes with compressed air.
  • a compressed air connection is provided, via which compressed air is introduced into a first diaphragm chamber.
  • the membrane chambers are separated by the membrane into an air chamber and a liquid chamber, wherein the compressed air flows into the air chamber and compresses the liquid chamber, whereby the liquid is pressed out of the liquid chamber.
  • the membrane moves away from the opposite chamber, but takes due to the connection with the connecting shaft with the opposite membrane and will compress the air chamber in this, however, inflate the liquid chamber and thus exert a suction effect on the inlet.
  • an air distributor changes the air direction and the air is introduced into the opposite, just first deflated air chamber and the membranes move coupled in the opposite direction.
  • a magnetically operating double diaphragm pump is known, for example. from the FR 929947 or even from the EP 2607 699 , The membranes are coupled there, in push-pull, operated. It should be created a pump with better flow characteristics in the process.
  • the present invention the object of the invention to provide a double diaphragm pump, which can be used independently of compressed air and which can also be further developed with respect to the other applications.
  • a double diaphragm pump is largely constructed as is already known from the prior art. It comprises a pump housing with two parallel line sections, which each form a membrane chamber. In the membrane chambers is in each case a membrane which separates the membrane chamber liquid-tight in a liquid chamber and an air chamber. Only the liquid chamber can be reached via the line sections and is limited on the inlet and outlet side by ball valves.
  • the invention now provides, instead of the mechanism operated by compressed air, to provide a magnetic chamber between the membrane chambers in which one or more electromagnets influence active agents connected to the membranes.
  • active agents act on the membranes and are moved back and forth by the electromagnetically generated force between two movement end points, taking with them the membranes, so that the same sequence of movements arises as in the known double membrane pump in the prior art.
  • the electromagnet can be powered by electric power, which is widely available across the board. Even in vehicles can operate via a vehicle electrical system. Due to the field changes to the electromagnet, the active agents are alternately attracted or repelled by the electromagnet and consequently move with the entrainment of the membrane in the membrane chamber.
  • the term of the electromagnet should in principle be understood to be a magnet or a magnet arrangement of a plurality of magnets can be operated either as a group or as a function of each other or independently of each other.
  • a plurality of identical or dissimilar magnetic coils on one core or else a plurality of identical or dissimilar magnetic coils on a plurality of cores can form an electromagnet in the sense of the invention.
  • the connecting shaft may have individual sections which are magnetic, ferromagnetic or electrically conductive and are attracted to the solenoid during operation, but there should also be sections which are non-magnetic and / or non-conductive and which do not have any braking action when passing through the magnetic coil.
  • the magnetically active portions always remain outside of the magnetic coils, while only magnetically ineffective portions actually pass through, there is no braking effect.
  • the active means are two separate connecting shafts, which can be moved separately from their own magnetic coils.
  • the construction is basically the same, but the two membranes are not mechanically coupled to each other.
  • the membranes will behave as if they were mechanically coupled. But this is not mandatory.
  • a well-known problem with double diaphragm pumps is that due to the push-pull turbulent flows form in the drain. However, these should be avoided. By an asynchronous operation of the two membranes, these turbulent flows can be smoothed into laminar flows, which was previously not feasible in this form in the prior art.
  • the active agents are ferromagnetic or permanent magnetic elements that are directly associated with the membranes. These are attracted or repelled by the electromagnet contactless alternately.
  • a particular advantage of this solution is that the electromagnet does not have to be in the same chamber as the membrane, at least no passage between the diaphragm chamber and the magnetic chamber is required. Rather, in the direction of the magnetic chamber facing outer wall of the diaphragm chamber may be non-magnetic and permeable to magnetism, for example, formed of plastic. Then, the magnetism of the electromagnet through this wall acts on the membrane providing the ferromagnetic or permanent magnetic element without exerting a mechanical connection.
  • the ferromagnetic or permanent magnetic elements may be formed as metal bodies, which are in particular mounted centrally on the membranes.
  • metal bodies which are in particular mounted centrally on the membranes.
  • the metal layers would have to be designed to be flexible, but of sufficient thickness that an influencing of the membrane by the electromagnet can take place.
  • the electromagnet it is initially possible to provide a large magnetic core and to wind it with a magnetic coil. If this electromagnet is brought into the effective range of both membranes, the result is a situation comparable to the connecting shaft and the diaphragms can be deflected in push-pull. If, on the other hand, a plurality of magnetic coils are also applied to a plurality of cores, the membranes can also be put into asynchronous movement patterns in this way.
  • the double-diaphragm pump realizes asynchronously movable membranes, it is also possible to work with separate supply lines for the individual line sections.
  • the two line sections can convey different media and, by influencing the frequency of the membrane vibrations, different delivery rates can be achieved on both sides. In a common process, this means that two different media can be dosed differently to a common product. This can ultimately be extended as desired by the additional arrangement of further line sections with membranes.
  • FIG. 1 shows a double-membrane pump with a pump housing 10, which is composed essentially of a first line section 1 on the left side and a second line section 2 on the right side. Both line sections 1 and 2 each form a diaphragm chamber, the first diaphragm chamber 11 and the second diaphragm chamber 21. These diaphragm chambers 11 and 21 are bounded by ball valves 5 and 6, of which the ball valves designated 5 are open and the ball valves 6 are closed , The membrane chambers 11 and 21 are divided by a respective membrane 12 and 22 in a liquid chamber 13 and 23 and an air chamber 14 and 24, respectively.
  • the first diaphragm chamber 11 In the illustrated position, the first diaphragm chamber 11 is filled with the fluid and therefore, the first fluid chamber 13 is expanded and large, while the first air chamber 14 is compressed by the first diaphragm 12 and small. Conversely, in the second diaphragm chamber 21, in which the air chamber 24 is large and the fluid chamber 23 is compressed and small.
  • FIG. 1 This basic position is described here only once, but applies to both figures.
  • the medium is in FIG. 1 promoted from an inlet 3 to a drain 4, in FIG. 2 however, there are two supply lines.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the double diaphragm pump, in which a first connecting shaft 15 with the first diaphragm 12, a second connecting shaft 25 are connected to the second diaphragm 22.
  • the two connecting shafts 15 and 25 are here drawn with a height offset, but only for the sake of illustration.
  • each of the connecting shafts 15 and 25 functions as a continuous connecting shaft, but owing to the arrangement, an asynchronous control of the connecting shafts 15 and 25 can now also be effected by a controller 20. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to avoid turbulent flows in the outlet 4, on the other hand, it is also possible, as still in FIG. 2 is shown to mix different feeds into the process and dose it differently.
  • FIG. 2 Finally shows a variant of the solution just shown, in which a controller 20 in the magnetic chamber 7 controls two independent magnetic coils 9, which moves the metal body 16 and 26 asynchronously and as required with different frequency and back.
  • the solution shown here also realizes a first supply line 17 and a second supply line 27, which can now be charged with different media.
  • the delivery medium supplied through the first supply line 17 is conveyed to the outlet 4 in a larger amount than would be the case in the second supply line 27 in the case of the delivery medium conveyed at a lower pumping frequency.
  • a double membrane pump can be used simultaneously for mixing different media according to a predetermined ratio.
