Definitions

  • the invention relates to an impeller pump as it is used in particular in a water-bearing household appliance such as a washing machine or a dishwasher.
  • an impeller pump is known with a pump chamber including inlet and outlet.
  • An additional outlet from the pump chamber is provided, which can be closed by an additional outlet flap.
  • the additional outlet flap has two stable positions. Depending on the direction of rotation of an impeller of the impeller pump, the additional outlet flap is held stably in a closed position or stably in an open position, with fluid then being able to be pumped out to the additional outlet or not.
  • an impeller pump is known with an inlet into and an outlet from a pump chamber. An additional outlet from the pump chamber is provided.
  • An impeller can turn in two directions of rotation. In one direction of rotation, it conveys fluid out to the outlet and closes the additional outlet by means of a movable flap made of elastic material. In the other direction of rotation, the fluid flow pushes the elastic flap away from the additional outlet so that it is open and fluid can be conveyed through here.
  • an impeller pump for a dishwasher, which has an additional outlet at an outlet from a pump chamber. This is spring-loaded. An opening is closed by an elastic membrane body which is held in the closed position under spring tension.
  • Another impeller pump is known with a pump chamber that rotates approximately in a ring around an impeller.
  • An additional outlet which is closed by means of an additional outlet flap, extends in the lateral direction from an outer circumferential wall of the pump chamber. If the impeller rotates in a main direction of rotation, a flow is generated in the pump chamber that holds the additional outlet flap in a closed position, whereby the additional outlet is and remains closed. If the impeller rotates in the opposite direction, the flow opens the additional outlet flap and releases the additional outlet.
  • the additional outlet flap opens so far that it closes the main outlet from the pump chamber. This is achieved by arranging the additional outlet and the additional outlet flap in a region of the outer wall of the pump chamber which lies outside the impeller in the radial direction.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating an impeller pump mentioned at the beginning, with which the problems of the prior art can be solved and, in particular, it is possible to pump water out of a household appliance in which the impeller pump is installed as simply and efficiently as possible at the same time . to be able to empty the pump chamber.
  • the impeller pump has a pump chamber on or in which an inlet into the pump chamber and an outlet from the pump chamber are provided.
  • An impeller rotates in the pump chamber, usually driven by a pump motor flanged to or attached to the pump.
  • the impeller has a direction of rotation to pump fluid from the inlet to the outlet. This is a preferred direction of rotation, the blades of the impeller being particularly preferably shaped or bent in such a way that they can convey the fluid particularly efficiently from the inlet to the outlet in this direction of rotation of the impeller.
  • An additional outlet from the pump chamber including an additional outlet flap on it or for it.
  • the additional outlet flap has a closed position and at least one open position. Between these two positions it is movable, advantageously designed to be rotatable, or alternatively bendable. It is preferably designed to be rotatable about an axis, that is to say is rotatably mounted and is not only designed to be elastically movable and deflectable, for example by bending or twisting.
  • the additional outlet flap closes the additional outlet, advantageously largely or even completely.
  • the additional outlet flap can be approximately the same size as the additional outlet, advantageously somewhat larger.
  • the additional outlet is at least partially open or the additional outlet flap at least partially releases or opens it.
  • the additional outlet can therefore be more or less open.
  • an adjusting means is provided, whereby the additional outlet flap is so force-loaded that it is automatically moved from the closed position to one of the open positions when no fluid or water is pumped from the inlet to the outlet or when the additional
  • the outlet flap is free of fluid flow in the direction of rotation of the impeller for pumping the fluid during normal operation.
  • the actuating means can therefore bring the additional outlet flap at least into the first open position or into the least open open position. Under certain circumstances it can therefore be sufficient if the actuating means open the additional outlet flap only a little.
  • the additional outlet flap including the actuating means which are advantageously passive actuating means, with the automatic opening, actuators such as electromagnets, piezo drives or electric motors that need to be controlled specifically can be dispensed with. This considerably simplifies the construction of the impeller pump and its operation. Furthermore, installation space can also be saved.
  • the additional outlet flap can be moved by the actuating means into that open position from the group of several open positions that is as wide as possible and / or in which it is as far as possible from the closed position. Position is removed. It can thus be achieved that the additional outlet flap is in the closed position. Starting in this closed position, a movement can be provided for opening, in which the additional outlet flap is initially slightly opened, for example after a rotation through only a few degrees of arc angle. However, the actuating means tries to open the additional outlet flap even further, in particular to open it as far as possible. Then, even if the direction of rotation of the impeller is reversed, as much fluid or water as possible can be pumped to the additional outlet from the pump chamber.
  • the additional outlet flap has rotated through an angle of 10 ° to 45 °, preferably 15 ° to 30 °. If the fluid flows in the opposite main direction of rotation of the impeller, i.e. if its direction of rotation is reversed, towards the open additional outlet flap and through the additional outlet, a particularly high efficiency can be achieved by the additional outlet flap. It not only closes the additional outlet in the closed position, but also directs the fluid as well as possible into the additional outlet when the impeller is rotating in the opposite direction in the open position, in particular in the open position that is as wide as possible.
  • the actuating means can be several possibilities for the formation of the actuating means. They are advantageously designed to be resilient or have spring means as adjusting means in order to load the additional outlet flap with force so that it moves out of the closed position.
  • the spring means should be installed in such a way that they impede a fluid flow as little as possible.
  • plastic spring means can advantageously be used as the spring means. These have the advantage that they do not corrode in permanent contact with water.
  • Such spring means can advantageously have a voluminous block body, which can particularly advantageously have a cylindrical shape.
  • the spring means can have the shape of a cuboid and consist of elastic material, in particular plastic.
  • a suitable plastic here is silicone, and possibly also rubber.
  • a conventional spring can be used, for example a leaf spring, a helical spring, a spiral spring or a combined helical spiral spring.
  • a spring can also be wound around an axis of rotation and, through twisting or twisting, build up a torque which then tries to open the additional outlet flap.
  • the additional outlet flap itself can be soft or elastic or consist of such an elastic material, in particular an elastomer, that it itself forms the adjusting means or the spring means by which it is opened.
  • the spring or the spring action is then integrated into the additional outlet flap, so to speak. It can be slightly open in a normal position without fluid flow, that is to say in a relatively slightly open open position. Depending on the direction of flow, it is then pushed open or closed or pushed into the closed position, thus closing the additional outlet.
  • the pump can have sealing means on the additional outlet and / or on the additional outlet flap. These are advantageously designed to run around the additional outlet, but at least along one side, for example close to the impeller.
  • the additional outlet flap can thus be kept relatively simple. Provision can be made for a sealant to be injected onto the pump housing, for which a multi-component injection molding process is particularly advantageously suitable. This is particularly advantageous when the sealant has a type of sealing lip, round cord seal or the like. is.
  • the sealing means can then namely also have a sealing rubber which, due to its elasticity, ensures a sealing effect in the closed position.
  • These sealing means can also be formed by the aforementioned design of the additional outlet flap made of elastic material, so that the flap itself also seals sufficiently due to its soft material.
  • a labyrinth seal can also be provided between the additional outlet flap and the edge of the additional outlet on or near which the flap runs.
  • a labyrinth seal can have a stepped course of a sealing surface between the additional outlet and the additional outlet flap, for example with one to three angular steps.
  • the sealing effect may not be as good as that of an elastic rubber seal, but it is sufficient for the impeller pump to operate.
  • the additional outlet flap in the closed position negatively affects the operation of the pump and the efficiency of the pump as little as possible. It should also have as little or no additional flow resistance as possible represent when the impeller is pumping fluid from the inlet to the outlet of the pump chamber.
  • the additional outlet flap in the closed position continues the course of the pump chamber or a wall of the pump chamber in this area around the flap, in particular also curves and / or bulges corresponding to the area surrounding the additional outlet of the pump chamber determine the design of the additional outlet flap at least on its outside. If the surrounding area of the pump chamber is flat, then the outlet flap can also be designed to be flat on the outside. Thus, in the closed position, the pump chamber, in particular its wall, should have a shape as if the additional outlet flap did not even exist.
  • the additional outlet flap has an inside which, in the closed position, points towards the additional outlet. It therefore faces away from the pump chamber, while the aforementioned outside of the additional outlet flap covers the additional outlet or is the surface on which the fluid flows from inlet to outlet during pumping, especially in the closed position.
  • the inside can advantageously be convexly curved, namely convexly away from the additional outlet or towards the pump chamber. This special shape is intended to ensure that in the open position of the additional outlet flap or the maximum open position, the fluid that flows through the opened additional outlet flap into the additional outlet when the impeller rotates in the opposite direction flows into the additional outlet as quickly and efficiently as possible. Through this curvature, the pumped fluid should be captured as well as possible, so to speak, and directed into the additional outlet.
  • a lateral wall can advantageously be provided on the inside of the additional outlet flap, which has an angle between 60 ° and 120 ° to the outside. If the outside is flat or is largely flat, this angle can also be between 80 ° and 100 °. It can particularly advantageously be 90 ° or a little less.
  • lateral wall is never completely moved out of the opening of the additional outlet when the pump is in operation.
  • a stop can be provided, advantageously on the lateral wall itself, which can hit an inner edge of the additional outlet.
  • the lateral wall can preferably have a longitudinal outer edge which, in the maximally wide open position, runs over a large part of its length in a direction away from the axis of rotation of the additional outlet flap, in particular over its entire length, within the additional outlet. In this way, on the one hand, a certain guidance of the additional outlet flap can be achieved or a support in the open positions and especially in the fully open position.
  • a projection or the like can be provided on the lateral wall. be provided for the aforementioned stop, in particular on the named free longitudinal outer edge of the lateral wall, particularly preferably as far away as possible from the axis of rotation of the additional outlet flap, which just forms the stop on the pump housing or on the wall of the pump chamber.
  • the maximum wide open open position is precisely limited. In this way, an opening that is too wide can be avoided, which would possibly no longer be favorable in terms of flow.
  • the additional outlet flap can also be prevented from being torn out.
  • the lateral wall runs parallel to a circumferential outer wall of the pump chamber.
  • the lateral wall can therefore also be curved in its longitudinal course away from the axis of rotation of the additional outlet flap.
  • the lateral wall can extend at a distance from a circumferential outer wall of the pump chamber that is between 0.5 cm and 2 cm. This means that the lateral wall can have a relatively small distance from the outer wall of the pump chamber, but that this distance is already given. This is particularly advantageous when the impeller pump has a heated outer wall of the pump chamber.
  • the additional outlet flap still has to be integrated into the existing installation space in the pump chamber.
  • the pump chamber runs annularly around the impeller.
  • the additional outlet is arranged in an annular end face of the pump chamber in the axial direction along the axis of rotation of the impeller. This is a bottom surface or a top surface of the pump chamber.
  • Such an end face is arranged in such a way that it runs approximately in a plane of one of the two top faces of the impeller. It can particularly advantageously be provided that this end face is remote from the outlet from the pump chamber, see FIG DE 102013211180 A1 . It can thus be achieved that the fluid flow behaves quite differently when pumping fluid out of the outlet than when pumping out of the additional outlet.
  • the provision of the additional outlet flap on one of the named End faces of the pump chamber and not on a radially outer wall of the pump chamber has the advantage that this wall can thus be designed to be closed, for example made of metal with external heating conductors.
  • the arrangement of the additional outlet in an end surface of the pump chamber, which runs in a plane of one of the two top surfaces of the impeller, has the advantage that when pumping fluid with the direction of rotation of the impeller for pumping out of the additional outlet, the between the Fluid flowing out of both top surfaces of the impeller can flow relatively directly to the additional outlet. Since the additional outlet flap is close to the impeller in the fully open position, in particular in the radial direction, for example with a maximum radial distance of 1 cm, fluid can also be pumped out to the additional outlet as well as possible.
  • an aforementioned inside of the additional outlet flap is approximately at the axial height and radially outside the other top surface of the impeller, in such a way that fluid from the impeller is directed radially outward into the additional outlet flap and thus into the additive -Outlet flows.
  • a type of flow channel for the fluid is thus formed between the end surface of the pump chamber in which the additional outlet flap is provided and the additional outlet flap itself or its previously described inside. These two surfaces can then roughly coincide with the plane in which the aforementioned top surfaces of the impeller run, so that fluid can be pumped out of the additional outlet as well as possible.
  • the additional outlet can lead out of the pump chamber in the radial direction or in a plane perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the impeller.
  • the additional outlet then advantageously also leads out of an entire housing of the impeller pump, for example on a pipe socket which is well suited for connecting water lines or hoses, in particular elastic hoses.
  • the additional outlet flap is held down by the pumped fluid during the main direction of rotation of the impeller and thus held in the closed position so that the additional outlet is closed, preferably only by the pumped fluid.
  • the aforementioned actuating means presses the additional outlet flap from the closed position during the pumping of the fluid into an open position.
  • the actuating means can advantageously try to push the additional outlet flap into the open position, which is open to the maximum extent, but this does not have to be the case.
  • the opening of the additional outlet flap with a small opening path can be regarded as sufficient, namely if the fluid moved by the impeller in the other direction of rotation opens the additional outlet flap completely or pushes it open into the maximally wide open position.
  • the spring means can therefore ensure a certain, relatively slightly open, open position. The complete opening of the additional outlet flap is then brought about by the flow of the fluid in the pumping direction for pumping out of the pump.

Since the additional outlet opening 39 lies completely within the planar annular bottom surface 29, this outer side 45 is also planar and does not protrude beyond this bottom surface 29. Since the chamber wall 24 is a separate component of its own here and consists in particular of metal because of the heat conductors attached to the outside, integration of the additional outlet flap 44 into the throat or the transition area between the bottom surface 29 and the chamber wall 24 is not possible.

  • an optionally provided projection 54 is shown in dashed lines. This can reach under a front edge of the additional outlet opening 39 when swiveling open or when swiveling the additional outlet flap 44 upwards, that is to say towards the maximally wide open open position. By striking this projection 54 below the bottom surface 29, this open position, which is open to the greatest possible extent, can be defined or reached. Since the projection 54 is not arranged within the direct fluid flow, it also does not interfere with the flow. Furthermore, the lateral wall 50 is always within the additional outlet opening 39 for a good introduction of the fluid into it.
  • adjusting means for opening the additional outlet flap 44 with pivoting about the axis of rotation through the stub axle 48
  • different spring means could be provided, for example known torsion springs in the manner of a helical spring with one or two turns and very long free legs. These could on the one hand be supported on the inside 46 and on the other hand below the additional outlet opening 39.
  • a block-shaped body of resilient plastic or foam mentioned at the beginning could be provided on the left edge of the additional outlet flap 44, for example in the area towards the step edge 42. This could also be provided on the lower edge of the lateral wall 50, where it is in the closed position according to FIG Fig. 4 runs.
  • the additional outlet flap 44 is only opened slightly is, for example, a few degrees of rotation angle or a few millimeters at the front end, opposite the end with the stub axles 48.
  • the fluid flow then circulates in the direction of rotation ER, it can, so to speak, reach under the slightly opened additional outlet flap 44 and tear it open or push it open completely .
  • FIG. 7 and 8th shows the maximally wide open open position of the additional outlet flap 44. It can be seen that it is open so wide that the inside 46 is even a little above the plane of the underside of the cover disk 33, whereby the impeller 30 in FIG fluid conveyed or thrown out in the radial direction or at least in a partially radial direction is thrown in this area directly against this inner side 46 and the inner surface 51 of the lateral wall 50. In this way, fluid is captured particularly well in this area and conveyed through the additional outlet opening 39 to the additional outlet connection 37, that is to say out of the pump 11.
  • Fig. 8 it can also be seen that the radial distance between the additional outlet flap 44 or its lateral wall 5 including the outer surface 52 is quite large here.
  • the fluid forced outwards by centrifugal force due to the circulation in the pump chamber 22 could also relatively frequently run past the additional outlet flap 44 during emptying, which would make complete emptying somewhat more difficult.
  • a certain spacing of the bottom surface 29 in the radial direction is necessary and therefore no widening or relocation of the additional outlet flap 44 further outwards to the chamber wall 24 is possible. In other designs of pumps according to the invention, however, this is possible and could then also be provided.
  • approx. 80 °.
  • a rounding or a groove could be provided. This could have advantages in terms of flow technology, but does not have to be so.
  • the distance in the radial direction between the impeller 30 and the additional outlet flap 44 or its rounded, radial inner edge is like that Fig. 4 and 7th show relatively low. It is, for example, 1 mm to 3 mm, precisely enough that sufficient stability of the bottom surface 29 is also ensured in this area.
  • an additional outlet flap 144 shown in a simplified manner, is arranged in a pump chamber 122 or within the bottom surface 129.
  • the additional outlet flap 144 is rotatably mounted at the left end by means of a corresponding axle stub 148 in an axle bearing recess 140.
  • the additional outlet flap 144 which is designed to be flat here, has an outer side 145 which is advantageously flat and smooth, as in the previous exemplary embodiment, in order to offer little water resistance.
  • a spring receptacle 156 is provided on an inner side 146, which has, for example, 50% of the width of the additional outlet flap 144 and is arranged centrally.
  • the spring receptacle 156 has a wide and flat slot which is open at least at the lower end and into which a leaf spring 159 is inserted as an adjusting means according to the invention with an upper spring end 158.
  • This upper spring end 158 which is shown in dashed lines here, could have one or more punched-out prongs or elevations by which it is held in place after being inserted into the spring receptacle 156 and can no longer be pulled out or does not come out by itself .
  • the leaf spring 159 is advantageously made of a stainless steel or spring steel with, for example, about a third of the width of the additional outlet flap 144. Alternatively, it can be made of plastic. Their spring force can be relatively small. In a central area it is slightly curved, and with a lower spring end 160, which is bent again somewhat more strongly at the very end, the leaf spring 159 rests against a wall of the additional outlet opening 139 or is supported against it.
  • leaf spring 159 It is not a significant problem to design the spring force of the leaf spring 159 accordingly.
  • a correspondingly thin material can be provided for the leaf spring 159; alternatively, lateral incisions or the like can also be used. be provided.
  • Fastening the leaf spring 159 is considered to be advantageous, particularly advantageous by inserting it into the spring receptacle 156 at the top.
  • it could also be attached to the left inner wall of the additional outlet opening 139, for example with a similarly designed spring receptacle, and then be supported with a free end on the inside 146 of the additional outlet flap 144 and possibly slide along it a little.
  • a helical spring made of spring wire with long protruding legs could be arranged around an axis corresponding to the stub shafts 148, which presses open the additional outlet flap 144 and is supported on the same inner wall of the additional outlet opening 139. Then just such a spring, the type of which is basically known, would be fastened to these stub axles or a corresponding axis of rotation for pressing open or closed by means of torque.
  • FIG. 10 Yet another embodiment is in the Fig. 10 shown, in which an additional outlet flap 244 is not rotatably mounted about a defined axis of rotation by means of stub axles, but is arranged in a receptacle 241 by means of a rectangular bearing end 249.
  • the receptacle 241 has a corresponding shape and is designed in principle similar to the axle bearing recesses 40 and 140, only with a flat cross-section.
  • the angular bearing end 249 sits in the receptacle 241 so that it is non-rotatable, and the additional outlet flap 244 itself is so soft or elastic or consists of such an elastic material that it itself forms the actuating means through which it is opened, i.e.
  • the upper solid representation in Fig. 10 shows the additional outlet flap 244 in one Open position with fluid flow with the direction of rotation ER as in Fig. 9 above. It can be clearly seen that a sufficiently large inlet for the fluid into the additional outlet opening 239 is possible here.
  • the additional outlet flap 244 can therefore itself have and fulfill a sealing function through a suitable choice of material, because it and especially its free end is flexible and can cling to the edge of the additional outlet opening 239 Providing a seal, in particular a seal made of a different material, closes the additional outlet or the additional outlet opening 239. A stepped edge does not even need to be provided so that the additional outlet flap 244 disappears flush and seals off better, but the additional outlet flap 244 can rest around the additional outlet opening 239 on the bottom surface 229.
  • FIG. 10 Shown in dashed lines in the Fig. 10 at the top is a position into which the additional outlet flap 244 moves independently by its own spring force when there is no fluid flow at all. It can be seen from this that the additional outlet flap 244 opens here only a relatively small amount due to its own spring force, that is to say, as it were, as its own actuating means. The further opening into the open position shown in solid lines then takes place precisely through the fluid flow with the direction of rotation ER, which presses it open a little further or bends it open a little further.
  • a relatively rigid additional outlet flap have an angular bearing end, which is partially resiliently encased and then so to speak in the receptacle against this Spring elasticity rotates.
  • an angular bearing end can be surrounded by a layer of relatively soft plastic or foam and can be rotated against its resilience into the closed position by a relatively strong fluid flow in the direction of rotation FR. If this fluid flow stops, the resilient plastic can press open the additional outlet flap 244.
