Definitions

  • a pump comprising an impeller having at least one vane.
  • the impeller is surrounded by a volute.
  • a deflector, projecting towards the inside of the pump, is fixed to the volute upstream, in the direction of rotation of the impeller, of a groove made in the volute.
  • the deflector has a surface facing the blade while being at a shredding distance.
  • Deflector pumps are known from the documents US 2003/215,331 and US 2010/119,365 and speak WO 2017/198509 .
  • the document EP 1 357 294 describes a pump according to the preamble of claim 1 and the document EP 3 246 574 also forms part of the state of the art.
  • This chopper pump has the disadvantage that in particular the deflector and the blades wear out quickly, since they must jointly have a cutting effect.
  • the invention overcomes this drawback by means of a pump, which grinds only occasionally, but which essentially guides the fibrous materials, such as wipes, out of the pump, without necessarily having to cut them first.
  • the pump is characterized in that , seen from the side opposite the suction, the angle between the imaginary plane tangent to the spout and passing through the axis and an imaginary straight line, perpendicular to the axis and passing through the point, the furthest from the axis, from the intersection of the upper surface with the side attack surface, is between 110 and 140°.
  • the axis of the pump is vertical, but the pump can be placed so that its axis is inclined or horizontal.
  • the volute nose is the inner edge of the discharge nozzle, which is the furthest downstream in the direction in which liquid is conveyed.
  • the suction bottom if present, is considered part of the volute.
  • the finger can be attached to it.
  • the volute is preferably spiral. The radial distance between its outer wall and its inner wall increases from upstream to downstream from the finger to the beak.
  • the groove is curved from upstream to downstream from the entrance to the exit of the groove through the inside wall of the volute. It extends over an angle of approximately 80° to 100° and rises at an angle of 15 to 30° from inlet to outlet.
  • the wipe thus exits the space between the impeller and the volute at a point as close as possible to the discharge pipe, thus being conveyed as well as possible outside the pump, and this all the better as the volute is spiral, which means that the distance between the impeller and the volute increases in the direction of rotation of the impeller from the nose of the volute to the discharge pipe.
  • the wipe thus follows as short a path as possible between the suction and the groove and thus has less opportunity to curl up and, by stacking with other wipes, to cause clogging.
  • the angle between the tangent to the downstream edge of the entrance to the groove and the edge between the upper surface and the lateral leading surface is between 180 and 150°.
  • the longitudinal direction of the groove is thus, as far as possible, in the extension of the upper surface, which prevents a wipe from getting stuck before entering the groove.
  • the upper surface When the vane or vanes are tilted relative to the axis, the upper surface turns its convexity towards the vane. When the blade is in a plane perpendicular to the axis, the upper surface is flat.
  • the upper surface of the finger is convex and turns its convexity towards the blade and the tangent to the upper surface, at its most downstream point, forms, depending on the rotational position of the blade, an angle of 50 to 140° with the tangent to the vane at the point vertically aligned with said most downstream point. Moreover, this angle increases as a function of the rotation of the impeller described by the arrow F when looking at the impeller from the suction side.
  • a wipe is best deflected by the finger in the groove and is discharged into the pump without the pump having to perform a cutting effect.
  • the particular shape of the finger in secateurs allows a clean cut of the fabric and thus avoids the creation of tow as much as possible.
  • the angle between the imaginary tangent plane to the leading face passing through the line of intersection of the leading face and the upper face and the tangent plane imaginary of the upper face passing the line of intersection of the leading face of the upper face is between 60 and 90°.
  • a pump according to the invention is so effective that one can be satisfied with having only one groove and one finger. There is thus less damage to the hydraulic characteristics of the pump.
  • the finger has in particular the shape of a pyramid with three curved side faces.
  • the pump shown in figure 1 comprises an impeller 1 of axis X, X' vertical having two blades 2.
  • the impeller is driven in rotation in the direction of the arrow F by the output shaft of a motor, not shown.
  • the blades 2 are inclined on the axis X, X'.
  • the impeller 1 is surrounded by a volute 3.
  • the liquid to be conveyed enters via a suction at the bottom of the pump into the volute 3.
  • a finger 4 is fixed to the volute 3.
  • a groove 5 is provided in the volute 3 and ranges from the gap between impeller 1 and the volute 3 inside the volute 3.
  • a discharge pipe 9 starts from the volute 3 from a spout 10.
  • the finger 4 has a convex upper surface 8, the greater part of which is 0.3 mm from the blades 2 when the latter pass in front of the finger 4.
  • the tangent 11 to the upper surface 8 at its most downstream point forms , depending on the rotational position of the blades 2, an angle ⁇ of 90° with the tangent 12 to the blade 2 at the point aligned vertically with the said point 7.
  • the angle ⁇ between the tangent to the downstream edge of the entrance to the groove 5 and the edge between the upper surface 8 and the lateral attack surface 6 is 170°.
  • Finger 4 shown in figure 4 is pyramid-shaped having the upper surface 8, the lateral attack surface 6, and a lateral trailing surface 14, all curved.
  • the figure 7 shows that there is an angle ⁇ 1 between the side attack face 6 of the finger 4 and a vertical axis YY, which is between 0 and 15°. It also shows an angle ⁇ 2 between the upper face 8 of the finger and a horizontal axis ZZ, which is between 0 and 15°. The combination of the two angles gives ⁇ 3, which is an acute angle between 90 and 60°.
