Definitions

  • a piston pump is a reciprocating piston pump, also called a reciprocating displacement pump.
  • a piston pump has a piston which can be moved back and forth along a straight displacement path in order to pump a pump material.
  • the invention relates to a piston pump according to the preamble of the corresponding independent claim.
  • Piston pumps are widespread and known in various designs. For example, handle pumps for pumping water are widely used in places without electricity. Bicycle pumps are also mostly piston pumps.
  • piston pumps have the disadvantage that, in particular with pump material with a higher viscosity than water and / or with inhomogeneous pump material (e.g. emulsions), they clog, no longer work efficiently and / or the delivery rate of the piston pump varies greatly and the piston pump therefore works imprecisely.
  • inhomogeneous pump material e.g. emulsions
  • piston pumps can also encrust and / or stick at points that are essential for pumping if the pump material is adhesive, for example, and / or is able to interact accordingly (physically and / or chemically) with the piston pump.

  • the piston pump comprises a pump outlet, from which pump material is able to emerge from the piston pump from the second chamber.
  • the piston pump also includes a positive control element for positive control of the second chamber opening by the piston. In this case, in a first pumping configuration, the second chamber opening is configured to be impenetrable for the pumping material due to the positive control element.
  • the piston pump also comprises a dimensionally stable, separately designed and movable first chamber element relative to the base body.
  • the first chamber element includes the first chamber opening.
  • part of the piston pump, in particular the main body is arranged offset to the first chamber opening, and in a second first chamber configuration, the part of the piston pump, in particular the main body, is arranged to cover the first chamber opening.
  • the positive control element mechanically controls the configuration of the second chamber opening as a function of a position and / or movement of the piston.
  • the forced control element transmits to mechanical Path energy of the piston to at least one other element of the piston pump in order to control the configuration of the second chamber opening.
  • a forced control element can act by pressure and in particular exclusively by pressure.
  • a forced control element can also act by pulling and in particular exclusively by pulling.
  • a combination of push and pull is also possible.
  • a positive control element comprises, for example, two drivers acting against one another.
  • the positive control element can comprise levers, linkages and / or wire ropes or other flexible elements.
  • the piston pump comprises a dimensionally stable, separately designed second closure element that is movable relative to the second chamber.
  • This second closure element is arranged to cover the second chamber opening due to the positive control element in the first pump configuration and is arranged offset from the second chamber opening due to the positive control element in the second pump configuration.
  • the second closure element can divide the first chamber into two separate sub-volumes for the pumping material.
  • the pump configuration thus prescribes a relative position of at least part of the piston pump relative to the second chamber opening through the forced control, and as a result also a state or a configuration of the second chamber opening.
  • the second chamber opening is configured to be impenetrable for the pump material, that is to say, in other words, it is closed for the pump material when due to the positive control element at least part of the piston pump closes the second chamber opening.
  • the second chamber opening is closed when the second closing element covers it.
  • the filling of the second chamber with pumping material from the first chamber is prevented.

"Essentially” in this context means that the positive control element controls and effects a change in the configuration of the second chamber opening when changing from one pump configuration to another pump configuration, which can take a certain duration and over a certain length of a movement of the piston along its displacement path can be done. During this period of a configuration change of the second chamber opening, the piston pump does not yet have the pump configuration that is otherwise (essentially) always assumed. In other words, when the piston moves in a specific direction, the piston pump always has the same pump configuration, with the exception of a first movement span (a specific length of a movement of the piston) for a configuration change if necessary.
  • the configuration change of the second chamber opening i.e. one phase during one A change from one pump configuration to another pump configuration is also referred to as a switchover phase.

  • the range of motion for changing the configuration of the second closure element is a maximum of 15% of a maximum length of the displacement path of the piston.
  • the range of motion for changing the configuration of the second closure element can be a maximum of 10% of a maximum length of the displacement path of the piston, for example.

  • the optional second closure element is essentially always in contact with the same driver in a specific direction of movement of the piston. "Essentially” is to be understood here analogously to the above definition with regard to the pump configuration.

In this way, the piston pump 1 in the second embodiment can convey pumping material out of the pump outlet 8 both under tension and under pressure (or, in other words, work in a double-acting manner).
  • the lower area of the first chamber 3 is also used for pumping pumping material: the lower area of the first chamber 3 is filled with pumping material alternately with the upper area of the first chamber 3, and the pumping material is then pumped into the second chamber 4 and finally through the pump outlet 8 .

  • the upper area of the first chamber 3 is closed to the outside (first chamber openings 10 covered by the base body 2) but is open to the second chamber 4 (the second closing element 6 is offset from the second chamber openings 12, the latter are therefore open), whereby the pump material from the upper area the first chamber 3 is pumped into the second chamber 4 and finally out of the pump outlet 8.
  • the switching phase from train to pressure is not shown in any figure, but takes place in the reverse order to the switching phase from pressure to train.
  • the second locking element 6 positively controlled by the drivers 14, 15 changes its configuration first (from the second to the first pump configuration), which puts the piston pump 1 in the switchover phase from tension to compression.
  • the first chamber element 7 then changes its configuration (from the second to the first first chamber configuration), and after the first chamber configuration has been changed, the piston pump 1 is again in the position shown in FIG Figure 2 configuration shown under pressure on piston 5.
  • a third embodiment of the piston pump 1 is shown in plan view.
  • section lines AA and BB are drawn.
  • the third embodiment of the piston pump 1 differs from the second embodiment mainly in that the third embodiment of the piston pump 1 comprises a first-chamber forced control 20.
  • the first chamber forced control 20 is better in the Figures 6 and 7th recognizable where the third embodiment of the piston pump 1 is shown in side view as a section.
  • Figure 6 is a section through the piston pump 1 from Figure 5 along section line AA, the piston pump 1 being shown in train.
  • Figure 6 shows the piston pump 1 in a section analogous to FIG Figure 4 and differs from Figure 4 mainly through the first chamber positive control 20.
  • the first chamber positive control 20 is attached to the first chamber element 7, which is lengthened upwards (in the direction of the pump outlet 8) and can thereby exert a force on the first chamber element 7, whereby the first chamber positive control 20 can move the first chamber element 7.
  • the first chamber forced control 20 is in Figure 7 good to see.
  • Figure 7 is a section through the piston pump Figure 5 along the section line BB, also shown in Switzerland.
  • the first chamber forced control 20 is attached to the base body 2 and comprises two first chamber forced control pistons 21, which can be pneumatically driven and moved parallel to the displacement path 9 of the piston 5 of the piston pump 1 relative to the base body 2.
  • the first chamber forced control pistons 21 are fastened to the first chamber element 7 which is lengthened towards the top.
  • the movement of the first chamber forced control piston 21 also moves the first chamber element 7.
  • the pneumatic force acting on the first chamber positive control piston 21 is mechanically passed on to the first chamber element 7, whereby the change in configuration of the first chamber element 7 is carried out reliably and powerfully.
  • the first chamber element 7 is positively controlled by the first chamber forced control 20.
  • the piston 5 of the piston pump 1 is pneumatically driven (pressure and tension on the piston 5 is generated by pneumatic forces, not shown in the figures).
  • the same pneumatic drive as for the piston 5 of the Piston pump 1 also drives the first chamber forced control piston 21 of the first chamber forced control 20.
