Definitions

  • piston or diaphragm pumps are used for tasks of this kind.
  • These pump types are oscillating positive-displacement pumps.
  • These pumps operate on the positive-displacement principle and are equipped with non-return valves (i.e., “check valves”) on the pump suction and delivery sides.
  • a change in metering quantity is carried out by a variation in the piston or diaphragm stroke, so that a changed clearance volume occurs in the pump head, depending on the set stroke.
  • the non-return valves exert a critical influence on the pumping function and the metering accuracy of the pumps.
  • the known piston and diaphragm pumps are driven via gear units by means of a camshaft or eccentric shaft.
  • the direct coupling of these pumps to drive units leads to large appliance dimensions, the form of construction of which is too large for many miniaturized test installations.
  • the mechanical drives must be manufactured with high precision, which also increases the investment costs.
  • Pulsating positive-displacement pumps are also equipped with magnetic drives. As a result, the structural dimensions of these pump types are slightly smaller and the pumps have a constant clearance volume in the pump head.
  • Microsystem pumps by means of which very small liquid quantities can be conveyed, are known. Micropumps are what may be referred to as precision pumps, the functioning of which is no longer ensured when there is the least possible product-side contamination.
  • the flow ducts and positive-displacement spaces within the micropump heads possess dimensions on the order of a few micrometers. Contaminated products quickly block flow ducts or jam the dynamically moved pump parts, so that a metering operation can be quickly interrupted. Small product ducts are not suitable for conveyance and metering of viscous substances, because the pressure loss is too great.
  • Microsystem pumps which may be referred to as toothed-ring pumps, operate at high rotational speeds and generate a pressure in an annular gap.
  • a backflow into the suction region takes place, in particular because of the mechanical tolerances of the rotor and stator of the pump, so that the pump efficiency is greatly reduced.
  • the reproducible metering of low-viscosity substances against a high pressure is not ensured due to the low drive power of microsystem pumps.
  • the object on which the invention is based is, therefore, to develop a pump which is highly miniaturized, conveys small volume quantities, for example of 5 ⁇ l to 1000 ⁇ l/stroke and per unit time, and possesses high short-term metering accuracy.
  • the pump is to have a good suction behavior and to convey counter to pressure, so that, even in the non-flooded state of the pump head, conveyance counter to pressure is possible.
  • the metering of substances of different density is not to have any appreciable influence on the conveying accuracy and the metering behavior.
  • the fault susceptibility to blockage by product impurities is to be substantially reduced, so that additional fine filters on the suction side of the pump are not needed.
  • Necessary suction and delivery valves of the pump head are to open and close reproducibly, independently of density and/or viscosity, and, in particular, be leak-tight to gas pressure when closed; so that, during pumping, no backflow takes place, high efficiency is achieved and accurate pumping counter to pressure thereby becomes possible.
  • the metering capacity of the volume flows to be conveyed must be adjustable or variable in a simple way and is to amount from 5 to 100.000 ⁇ l/stroke preferred from 10 to 10.000 ⁇ l/stroke and especially preferred from 10 to 10 00 ⁇ l/stroke.
  • the pump is to be capable of being produced cost-effectively from various resistant materials, particularly because of different corrosion requirements in the chemical industry. In view of the occasionally rough operating conditions that the pump may be exposed to, the pump should be capable of simple and cost-effective repair and maintenance.
  • the design of the control or drive technology is not to exert any influence on the pump-head size and on the possibility of integration into a miniaturized test installation set-up.
  • the pump is to be constructed in a modular manner, so that the metering pump can be modified in a simple way by corresponding additions or the exchange of module parts. Is should be possible to change the metering capacity without the positive-displacement travel of the diaphragm or piston in the pump head increasing the clearance volume, so that the sucked-in liquid volume is displaced out of the pump head completely at any time.
  • a pneumatically driven pump head which is constructed in a modular lamella manner and which consists of at least three rigid lamellae (plates), and, in the region of the individual parting plane of the middle plate and of the respectively contiguous adjacent plates, there is at least one concave depression, and each depression is covered completely by an elastic diaphragm and the diaphragm is on one side part of the product space of the pump and at the other side part of the control space.
  • the depressions on one side or on both sides of the diaphragm establish the maximum travel by which the elastic diaphragm can be deflected.
  • the subject of the invention is a diaphragm pump with a multi-part pump body, comprising at least three rigid plates and in each case an elastic diaphragm arranged between these plates, the plates forming at least one pumping chamber and at least two shut-off chambers, in particular in a three-dimensional form of a truncated spherical segment of a spherical zone (cap), cylinder or cone, in each case with an inlet and an outlet orifice for the conveyable material, and the pumping and shut-off chambers being connected to one another via connecting ducts, and, together with an inlet duct, the connecting ducts and an outlet duct, forming a passage duct, characterized in that the pumping and shut-off chambers are divided by the diaphragms in each case into a product space and a control space, and the control spaces have control lines which are connected to a control unit.
  • control space is connected, in particular, via a duct which passes through the respective outer plate, to, for example, an electropneumatic control unit which has, for example, a vacuum generator in a secondary line, in order to enable alternating pressure or vacuum loading of the control space. It is also possible to use a hydraulic fluid for the pressure and draught loading of the control space.
  • a control program which has at least four control steps proceeding in succession, each with an associated timer, for example, the diaphragms are deformed into the pumping and shut-off chambers, so that the volume of the control space or the product space is alternately increased and reduced.
  • the diaphragm simultaneously opens or closes the inlet and outlet orifices of the chambers, said inlet and outlet orifices lying in the diaphragm region, so that, during the closing operation, at least the feed ducts which are in contact with the product are sealingly closed and, in the case of a predetermined control, at least one of the diaphragms lying in the direction of flow generates a reproducible volume displacement.
  • the control unit is arranged decentrally, particularly, to facilitate the degree of miniaturization, and, in the case of a pneumatic control, is connected to the pump head, for example, by means of flexible hoses.
  • control unit a combination of electronic control and actuators, for example electropneumatic switching valves, which are mounted on a compressed-air/vacuum distributor which has a pneumatic vacuum generator located in a secondary line.
  • the electronic control and the actuators may be mounted, for example, together in a housing.
  • the electropneumatic valves are operated by means of a control program, in order to carry out an exact sequence of work steps for the pumping operation.
  • shut-off and pumping chambers are sealed off at the edge by means of the inserted and compressed diaphragms.
  • each shut-off and pumping chamber has an individually assigned diaphragm and the diaphragms are inserted between the plates.
  • the diaphragms are clamped in, in order to close the pressure-loaded control and product spaces sealingly relative to the outside in the parting planes of the plates.
  • the clamping-in of the diaphragms between the plates has advantages for the user in the event of repairs, so that, if the pump head has a possible defect, only the small part-diaphragm has to be exchanged and considerable material costs are saved. Assignment of the part-diaphragm to the respective chamber allows standardized diaphragm manufacture and reduces the manufacturing costs.
  • a preferred embodiment of the pump has, at least in the product space of the pumping chamber, a groove which connects the vertex of the pumping chamber to the outlet orifice of the pumping chamber.
  • the connecting groove from the vertex to the outlet orifice of the pumping chamber increases the accuracy and reproducibility of the conveying operation, in that a complete outflow of the metering volume is ensured.
  • the groove forms a discharging collecting duct for the meterable material and compensates for differences in deformation of the elastic diaphragm. Between the inlet of the chamber and the groove there must be a surface present, so that the diaphragm can seal off the inlet orifice of the chamber in relation to the groove.
  • the groove may, in the simplest version, be an elongate duct, but the groove may also have a branched contour in the depression.
  • control pressure on the diaphragm can be set in all the control spaces at least 0.1 bar higher than the prevailing pressure at the outlet duct, preferably the control pressure is at least 0.5 bar higher and, particularly preferably, the control pressure is 1 bar higher than the pressure at the outlet duct.

  • that wall of the control space which is located opposite the diaphragm has, at least in the pumping chamber, a compensating volume, in particular a large-area depression, into which the diaphragm fits when there is a vacuum in the control space.
  • the compensating volume is at most 100% of the respective associated product-space volume, preferably the compensating volume is at most 20% and, particularly preferably, the compensating volume is at most 10% of the product-space volume.

  • FIG. 5 a shows clearly that the projection of the outer contours of the shut-off chambers ( 501 and 502 , 503 ) of the chambers overlap with various planes of the plates, in order to ensure a small clearance volume and thereby a good initial behaviour of the pump. Furthermore, a particularly compact pump-head design becomes possible.
  • FIG. 6 shows, in cross section, two portions of the plates 203 , 205 in the region of the pumping chamber 211 of a diaphragm pump similar to that of FIG. 1.
  • the volume of the pumping chamber is distributed in equal proportion to both plates, so that the inserted diaphragm 301 is braced via a concentric sealing surface 214 and seals off the product space 231 and the control space 221 relative to the outside.
  • FIG. 7, 7 a shows a top view of the depression in a diaphragm pump in the form of a spherical-segment geometry of the pumping chamber 211 .
  • the groove 213 provided can be seen, which runs from the vertex of the pumping chamber as far as the connecting duct 209 and serves as a collecting duct for a complete emptying of the product space.
  • FIG. 7 a shows a further special version of a branched groove 213 ′ or of the collecting duct 213 .
  • FIG. 8 shows the diaphragm-pump head 200 according to the invention, with a pumping chamber 211 ′′ and two shut-off chambers 210 ′′, 212 ′′ and with the elastic diaphragm 202 ′′ and 204 ′′ inserted between the plates 201 ′′, 203 ′′, 205 ′′.
  • the diaphragm pump has depressions in the outer plates 201 ′′, 205 ′′ and the collecting duct 213 ′′ is located in the plate 203 ′′.
  • FIG. 9 shows a combined arrangement of the connecting ducts of the pump head.
  • the middle plate is shown in a sectional illustration and the outer plates 201 ′, 205 ′ can be reduced due to the arrangement of the passage duct.
  • the inlet duct 207 ′ and connecting duct 208 ′ between the pumping chamber and the suction-side shut-off chamber are introduced at right angles to the outer plate contour, so that the connecting duct 208 ′ is rectilinear and short.
  • the clearance volume of the collecting duct 208 ′ is thereby minimized.
  • the connecting duct to the delivery-side shut-off chamber has a greater length and a larger clearance volume. This version requires a third reduced plate 205 ′ for the set-up of the pump.
  • FIG. 9 a illustrates an optimized pump with a small clearance volume, the middle plate 203 ′ being shown in a sectional illustration.
  • the geometric areas of the depressions of the shut-off chambers overlap partially or completely with the geometric area of the pumping-chamber depression, so that the connecting ducts from the pumping chamber to the shut-off chambers are extremely short and an optimized suction behaviour of the pump becomes possible.
  • the connecting duct 209 ′ from the pumping chamber 211 ′ to the delivery-side shut-off chamber 212 ′ is positioned at the vertex of the pumping-chamber depression, so that the collecting duct (cf. FIG. 7) is dispensed with.
  • the clearance volume of the pump is formed from the volume of the two connecting ducts 208 ′, 209 ′.
  • the chamber volume of the suction-side depression of the shut-off chamber 210 ′ lies partially and the chamber volume 212 ′ completely in the shadow of the pumping-chamber depression 211 ′, so that, with the thickness of the middle plate 203 ′ being optimized at the same time, the connecting ducts 208 ′, 209 ′ are of extremely short configuration.
  • the ratio of duct length 208 ′ to diameter is 3.5.
