Description

  The present invention relates to, for example, an electromagnetic diaphragm pump for household fuel cells, an electromagnetic diaphragm pump for pumping fuel gas such as LPG or air as a fluid, and in particular, the discharge amount does not change even when used for a long time. Relates to an electromagnetic diaphragm pump in which a part holding the diaphragm is unlikely to collide with other parts.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an electromagnetic diaphragm pump that sucks and discharges (discharges) a fluid by vibrating a vibrator by an electromagnet to displace the diaphragm is known.

  In such an electromagnetic diaphragm pump, the diaphragm is usually assembled to the pump body in a state where a bead (fixing protrusion) formed on the outer peripheral portion is pulled in the outer peripheral direction.

  However, if the diaphragm is driven for a long time, the diaphragm may be pulled by the central portion that is the center of oscillation and gradually loosen from the outer peripheral portion of the diaphragm. When loosening occurs from the outer periphery of the diaphragm in this way, the problem is that the original diaphragm amplitude cannot be obtained and the discharge flow rate decreases, or the part holding the diaphragm collides with other parts. May occur.

  In order to solve such a problem, a technique is disclosed in which a rib is provided in a holding portion that holds a diaphragm, and the diaphragm is more strongly sandwiched by the rib to take measures against loosening of the diaphragm. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-112368 (Patent Document 1) uses a simple configuration for a pulsating diaphragm fuel pump to reduce the manufacturing cost and avoid the occurrence of displacement and loosening of the inner diaphragm. An engagement recess formed in an annular shape on one end face of the overlapping portion of the pump body and the diaphragm cover body for the purpose of ensuring airtightness and maintaining an appropriate diaphragm tension, and the other There has been proposed an engagement structure comprising an engagement convex portion that protrudes in an annular shape from the end face and that has an engagement concave portion that substantially matches the cross-sectional shape and engages with a diaphragm interposed therebetween. Furthermore, the diaphragm has a flat plate shape without a bead, and when the pump main body and the diaphragm cover body are joined, the diaphragm is stretched in the centrifugal direction by sandwiching the peripheral edge of the diaphragm with this engagement structure to give a predetermined tension. However, there has been proposed an engagement structure that is fixed.

JP, 2006-112368, A However, as for the rib for prevention of shift provided in the above-mentioned patent documents 1 by double projection, all of the section shape is a curved shape. Therefore, it can be said that it is difficult to firmly hold the peripheral edge of the diaphragm only by the ribs and prevent the displacement. In order to assist such a shortage of holding force, in Patent Document 1, the diaphragm is fixed in a substantially right-angled state at two positions by the engagement structure at the end of engagement between the engagement convex portion and the engagement concave portion. Accordingly, it is said that the fixation by pinching is strengthened, and a good tension can be maintained without causing a shift or rattling even when used for a long period of time. However, stress concentration is likely to occur at a portion bent at a substantially right angle on the inner surface side, and a problem that diaphragm breakage is likely to occur at this portion may occur.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the electromagnetic diaphragm pump 1 of the present invention includes a pair of electromagnets 20 disposed in a main body frame 10 and vibrations interposed between opposing surfaces of the pair of electromagnets 20. And a pair of diaphragms 40 disposed at both ends of the vibrator 30, and a first clamping member 50 and a second clamping member 60 that clamp and fix the (peripheral) peripheral edge of the diaphragm.

And a pair of side surface openings 15 to which the first holding member 50 and the second holding member 60 can be attached. Further, inside the main body frame 10, a communication path (not shown) that communicates with an input connection port 18 that sucks a fluid that is a flow target carried by the pump and an output connection port 19 that discharges fluid are communicated. Communicating passages (not shown) are formed in different forms.

  The configuration of the present invention will be described in more detail.

  The electromagnetic diaphragm pump 1 according to the present invention is configured so that the vibrator 30 can reciprocate in a substantially perpendicular direction with respect to the direction in which the electromagnets 20 face each other as the polarity of the pair of electromagnets 20 disposed inside the body frame 10 changes. It is configured. The connecting shaft 31 is fixedly disposed at both ends of the vibrator 30, and a pair of opposing diaphragms 40 are disposed and fixed at both ends of the vibrator 30 as described above.

  As described above, the peripheral edge of the diaphragm 40 is clamped and fixed by the first clamping member 50 and the second clamping member 60. Furthermore, the first clamping member 50 and the second clamping member 60 are configured to be mounted and fixed in the side opening 15 of the main body frame 10.

  1-3, the configuration of the diaphragm 40 includes a ring-shaped bead portion 45 protruding inward at the peripheral edge thereof, and the first clamping member 50 includes a diaphragm. The second clamping member 60 is configured as a diaphragm holding portion 60 positioned outside the diaphragm 40. The diaphragm holder 50 is configured as a diaphragm base 50 positioned inside the diaphragm 40.

  The diaphragm holding portion 60 located outside the diaphragm 40 functions as a valve case main body including a valve, and is fixed to the side surface of the main body frame 10 together with the casing packing 80 and the casing cover 85 so as to press the peripheral edge portion of the diaphragm 40. Is done.

  A suction valve 120 and a discharge valve 130 are attached to the diaphragm holding unit 60 that functions as a valve case main body in a predetermined direction so as to perform predetermined functions (suction and discharge), respectively. This will be described in detail later.

  With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the basic structure of the electromagnetic diaphragm pump 1 of the present invention will be described in more detail.

As shown in FIG. 2, the pair of electromagnets 20 arranged to face each other has an E-type electromagnet core 22 and an electromagnet bobbin 24 around which an electromagnet coil 23 is wound. Composed. An AC power supply (not shown) is connected to the electromagnet coil 23 of the electromagnet 20 so that the magnetic pole changes (polarity changes) the same number of times as the frequency of the AC power supply.
As described above, the vibrator 30 that reciprocates with the change in the polarity of the electromagnet 20 is inserted in the gap between the opposing surfaces of the pair of electromagnets 20 so as not to contact the electromagnet 20. In the case of the present embodiment, the vibrator 30 has a plate main body 35 and connecting shafts 31 formed at both ends thereof as shown in FIG. 3, and the plate main body 35 has, for example, a square shape. Permanent magnets 36 (for example, N poles) and 37 (for example, S poles) having different polarities are attached.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the intake chamber partitioned by the concave portion of the diaphragm holding portion 60 fixed in the side opening 15 of the main body frame 10 and the casing cover 85 formed through the casing packing 80. 150 is formed. The intake chamber 150 communicates with the input connection port 18 via a communication path (not shown). In substantially the same manner, as shown in FIG. 2, the diaphragm holding portion 60 fixed to the side opening 15 of the main body frame 10 and the casing cover 85 formed via the casing packing 80 are partitioned. A discharge chamber 170 is formed. The discharge chamber 170 communicates with the output connection port 19 via a communication path (not shown). The intake chamber 150 and the discharge chamber 170 are partitioned by a partition wall 69.

  A suction valve 120 is attached from the inside to the partition wall 61 of the diaphragm holding part 60 that partitions the suction chamber 150 as shown in the figure. The intake valve 120 includes a thin circular valve umbrella portion 121 that functions as a seal valve, and a valve fixing shaft 125 that protrudes from the central portion of the valve umbrella portion 121. The valve fixing shaft 125 is mounted and fixed in a fixing hole formed in the partition wall 61 (FIG. 2). Although not shown in the drawings, it is usually desirable to form a protrusion-like locking portion at the distal end portion of the valve fixing shaft 125 for preventing it from coming off after fixing. In addition, the plane on the side where the valve fixing shaft 125 of the valve head part 121 is located constitutes a so-called (valve) seal plane.

  Due to the valve action of the suction valve 120 as described above, the fluid flowing from the input connection port 18 is sucked into the diaphragm chamber 160 through the valve vent 62 formed in the partition wall 61 as shown in FIG. The diaphragm chamber 160 is substantially partitioned by the diaphragm 40 and the inner surface of the diaphragm holding unit 60 (particularly the partition wall 61). The fluid sucked into the diaphragm chamber 160 passes through the valve vent hole 63 formed in the partition wall 61 by the valve action of the discharge valve 130 attached from the outside to the partition wall 61 of the diaphragm holding unit 60. And is discharged from the output connection port 19 via a communication path (not shown).

  The form of the discharge valve 130 is basically the same as that of the above-described suction valve 120. As shown in FIG. 2, the configuration of the discharge valve 130 is a thin-circular shaped valve umbrella 131 that functions as a seal valve, and the valve umbrella part. 131, and a valve fixing shaft 135 protruding from the central portion of 131. The valve fixing shaft 135 is mounted and fixed in a fixing hole formed in the partition wall 61 (FIG. 2). In general, it is desirable to form a protrusion-like locking portion for preventing the valve fixing shaft 135 from coming off after fixing. The plane on the side where the valve fixing shaft 135 of the valve head portion 131 is located constitutes a so-called (valve) seal plane.

  The valve action of the intake valve 120 and the discharge valve 130 will be further described. As the polarity of the electromagnet 20 connected to the AC power source changes, the vibrator 30 reciprocates in the directions of arrows (α) and arrows (β) shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 at the same frequency as the AC power source. The diaphragms 40 arranged at both ends of the vibrator 30 in synchronism with the movement of the vibrator 30 are deformed by the same displacement amount as the stroke of the vibrator 30 around the center portion of the diaphragm 40. As a result, a change in the capacity of the diaphragm chamber 160 occurs, and when attention is paid to the diaphragm chamber 160 on the (β) direction side in FIG. 2, when the diaphragm 40 is deformed in the arrow (α) direction, the diaphragm chamber 160 expands and becomes negative. When the pressure is reached, the suction valve 120 is opened and fluid is sucked into the diaphragm chamber 160. Conversely, when the diaphragm 40 is deformed in the direction of the arrow (β), the diaphragm chamber 160 on the (β) direction side is compressed to a positive pressure, the discharge valve 130 is opened, and the fluid is discharged from the diaphragm chamber 160 into the discharge chamber 170. Discharged. These operations are performed alternately and continuously, and fluid is continuously discharged.

  The specific forms of the suction valve 120 and the discharge valve 130 used in the present invention, for example, the size and thickness of the outer diameter of the valve head part 121 (131), are appropriately set according to the specifications of the electromagnetic diaphragm pump. You just have to do it. The same applies to the number of intake valves 120 and discharge valves 130 used. There is no particular limitation on the rubber material constituting the intake valve 120 and the discharge valve 130. For example, EPDM and silicone rubber are preferable examples.

FIG. 7 is a drawing similar to FIG. 5, and is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing a modification of the state shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 8 is a drawing similar to FIG. 5, and is a partial cross-sectional enlarged view showing a modification of the state shown in FIG. 5.

  The main part of the present invention is a fixing member that clamps and fixes a peripheral portion of a diaphragm 40 including a ring-shaped bead portion 45 projecting in a direction perpendicular to the film surface, that is, a first clamping member 50 and a second clamping pin. In the configuration of the member 60.

  In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the diaphragm base 50 positioned inside the diaphragm 40 corresponds to the first clamping member 50, and the diaphragm holding portion 60 positioned outside the diaphragm 40 is the second clamping. This corresponds to the member 60.

  Moreover, the diaphragm 40 in the present embodiment includes a ring-shaped bead portion 45 that protrudes inwardly (at the first clamping member 50 side: the diaphragm base 50 side) at the peripheral edge portion thereof. That is, a ring-shaped bead portion 45 projecting in a direction perpendicular to the first film surface 41 constituting the diaphragm plane is provided at the peripheral portion of the diaphragm 40. The first film surface 41 in the present embodiment indicates the inner surface of the diaphragm 40.

  Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the rubber material which comprises the diaphragm 40, Fluoro rubber and NBR which are excellent in heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and flexibility are mentioned as a suitable example.

  As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the diaphragm base 50 includes a recess 55 that accommodates the ring-shaped bead portion 45 of the diaphragm 40 at the periphery thereof. Further, the diaphragm base 50 according to the present embodiment includes a concave portion 59 for accommodating the outer peripheral end portion 49 of the diaphragm 40 at the peripheral portion thereof, and the bead portion when the outer peripheral end portion 49 of the diaphragm 40 is accommodated in the concave portion 59. The second film surface 42 of the diaphragm on the side where 45 is not formed and the outermost surface 52 of the diaphragm base 50 are configured to be substantially in the same plane.

  Diaphragm holding part 60 which is the 2nd clamping member is provided with press face 62 which can press the 2nd film surface 42 (side where bead part 45 is not formed) of diaphragm 40 in the peripheral part. Yes. The pressing surface 62 includes a first pressing convex portion 66 having a curved shape portion in cross section, and a second pressing convex portion 67 having a protrusion having an acute angle sectional shape.

  The first pressing convex portion 66 and the second pressing convex portion 67 that are in a protruding form are formed in a ring shape on the pressing surface 62 formed on the peripheral edge portion of the diaphragm holding portion 60. In particular, it is desirable that the first pressing convex portion 66 and the second pressing convex portion 67 formed in a ring shape are arranged so as to be concentric.

  “The cross-sectional shape has a curved shape portion” means, for example, a shape that covers a frying pan as shown in FIG. 9A, or a corner portion of the upper side of the trapezoid as shown in FIG. Preferred examples of a specific form include a curved shape and a shape obtained by cutting off a part of a circular or elliptical arc as shown in FIG. 9C.

  “A cross-sectional shape is provided with a protrusion having an acute angle shape” is preferably a triangular cross-section as shown in FIG. 10A, for example. In this case, the cross-sectional triangle is not limited to a regular triangle or an isosceles triangle, and can be a non-uniform deformed triangle obtained by deforming them.

  The sharpness of the sharp tip can be governed by how to create an acute shape, for example, a molding technique, etc., but the present invention is based on resin molding in particular, and the sharpness based on the resin molding technique is used. It only has to have. As shown in FIG. 10A, the acute angle θ of the tip is 30 to 90 degrees, preferably 45 to 60 degrees. If this angle is less than 30 degrees and becomes too small, there is a tendency for the disadvantage of diaphragm rupture to occur. On the other hand, when this angle exceeds 90 degrees and the angle becomes too large, there is a tendency that a problem of a decrease in pressing force occurs.

  In consideration of the ease of manufacturing and the compactness of the member, the second pressing projection 67 is desired to have a single acute angle as shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 10B, a plurality of acute angle portions (for example, 2 or more) may be provided.

  The first pressing convex portion 66 is disposed inside the second pressing convex portion 67. The first pressing convex portion 66 is either (1) in a positional relationship completely included in the area occupied by the base portion of the bead portion 45 or (2) or a part of the area occupied by the base portion of the bead portion 45 and It is formed so as to have an overlapping positional relationship or (3) or a positional relationship completely including the area occupied by the base portion of the bead portion 45.

That is, in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 5, a state of a positional relationship in which the width W1 of the first pressing convex portion 66 is completely included in the width Wb of the area occupied by the base portion of the bead portion 45. That is, this is a case where Wb> W1 and the bead portion 45 always exists under the place where the first pressing convex portion 66 presses.

  (2) That the 1st press convex part 66 has the positional relationship which overlaps with a part of area which the base part of the bead part 45 occupies means the state shown by FIG. 6 or FIG.

That is, this is a case where a part of the bead portion 45 is always present under the place where the first pressing convex portion 66 presses. Incidentally, the state shown in FIG. 6 is a case where the first pressing convex portion 66 protrudes slightly outside from the inclusion relationship in relation to the bead portion 45, and the state shown in FIG. This is a case where the convex portion 66 slightly protrudes inward from the inclusion relationship in the relationship with the bead portion 45. It can be said that the state shown in FIG. 7 is preferable in terms of downsizing the assembly member and downsizing the entire apparatus. That is, it is possible to shorten the length further extended to the outer peripheral side than the bead portion 45.

In the cases shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, since Wb> W1, the overlapping ratio of the width W1 into the width Wb, that is, how much of the width W1 is included in the width Wb is the overlapping ratio δ. _Expressed as ₀ . The value of δ ₀ is preferably 50% or more, particularly 60 to 100%.

  (3) That the 1st press convex part 66 is in the positional relationship which completely covers the area which the base part of the bead part 45 occupies means the state shown by FIG. That is, in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 8, the width Wb of the area occupied by the base portion of the bead portion 45 is a state of a positional relationship completely encompassed by the width W1 of the first pressing convex portion 66. That is, Wb ≦ W1, and the entire bead portion 45 is always included under the place where the first pressing convex portion 66 presses.

In addition, by shifting the relative positional relationship between the first pressing convex portion 66 and the bead portion 45 appropriately from the state shown in FIG. 8 to the left and right of the drawing, as described in the above (2), the first The pressing protrusion 66 can form a positional relationship overlapping with a part of the area occupied by the base of the bead part 45. Note that when the overlapping positional relationship is formed, the overlapping ratio with the width W1 in the width Wb in the case shown in FIG. 8 is Wb ≦ W1, so what is the width Wb? Whether the width W1 is included as a ratio is expressed as an overlap ratio δ ₁ . The value of δ ₁ is preferably 50% or more, particularly preferably 60 to 100%.

  Among the above (1) to (3), the embodiment (1) is particularly preferable.
