Definitions
- the present invention relates to pumps, and more specifically, to hydraulic systems used with pumps.
- Metering pumps are typically used to pump liquids in precise amounts and/or flow rates, but may be used simply to transfer liquids from one area to another. Some pumps operate by using a piston to draw fluids being pumped (“process fluids”) into, and push the process fluids out of, a pumping chamber.
- process fluids fluids being pumped
- a diaphragm may separate the hydraulic fluid from the process fluid. Forward movement of the piston transmits hydraulic force against the diaphragm. The diaphragm moves in relation to the piston and forces process fluid through an outlet check valve. Conversely, rearward movement of the piston causes the diaphragm to suction process fluid from an input check valve into a reagent head.
- the pistons of such pumps incorporate a primary seal. Maintenance of the primary seal typically requires either removal of the piston assembly or removal of the cylinder in which it reciprocates. This work generally requires significant disassembly and removal of the pump from its operating position to a maintenance facility and/or removal of most if not all of the hydraulic portion.

In one embodiment of the disclosure, a dish insert may be installed in a pump head such that the dish insert may be removed from the reagent head side of the pump head. Port holes permit movement of hydraulic fluid through the dish insert. The dish insert may be affixed to the pump head by fasteners. The dish insert may include removal means. For example, removal holes may be provided wherein fasteners may be threaded until the fasteners “bottom out” on the pump head. In this way, fasteners may force the dish insert out of the mounted position by acting against the threads as a jack screw.
Description
- The present invention relates to pumps, and more specifically, to hydraulic systems used with pumps.
- Metering pumps are typically used to pump liquids in precise amounts and/or flow rates, but may be used simply to transfer liquids from one area to another. Some pumps operate by using a piston to draw fluids being pumped (“process fluids”) into, and push the process fluids out of, a pumping chamber.
- Other pumps operate by using a piston which may operate in hydraulic fluids. In these pumps, a diaphragm may separate the hydraulic fluid from the process fluid. Forward movement of the piston transmits hydraulic force against the diaphragm. The diaphragm moves in relation to the piston and forces process fluid through an outlet check valve. Conversely, rearward movement of the piston causes the diaphragm to suction process fluid from an input check valve into a reagent head.
- In this way, the forward and rearward movement of the diaphragm causes a cycle of pressurization (forcing process fluid out of the head) and suction (drawing process fluid into the head). Other similar pump styles are known in the art, for example plunger pumps.
- The pistons of such pumps incorporate a primary seal. Maintenance of the primary seal typically requires either removal of the piston assembly or removal of the cylinder in which it reciprocates. This work generally requires significant disassembly and removal of the pump from its operating position to a maintenance facility and/or removal of most if not all of the hydraulic portion.
- Similarly, maintenance of a hydraulic accessory, such as a Hydraulic Performance Valve (“HPV”), may require significant disassembly and removal of the pump from its operating position and major disassembly of the hydraulic portion. Required maintenance of the drivetrain may similarly require the removal of the entire pump from the operating position.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a pump which may be serviced with less disruption to the surrounding operating system in which the pump is installed.
- The present disclosure meets the above described need by providing a pump with a front pull-out dish, piston, and/or hydraulic assembly. Similarly, the drivetrain of a pump according to the disclosure may be removed without disconnecting the wet end. In this way, maintenance of certain parts and seals including, but not limited to, the primary seal, and various hydraulic valves, may be accomplished without significant disassembly and removal of the drivetrain. Similarly, replacement of drivetrain components can be accomplished without disconnecting the wet end of the pump. The pump may not need to be removed from the pumping location. Maintenance time and cost may be significantly reduced.
- It should be noted that while reference is made throughout the instant disclosure to metering pumps, the technology described herein applies equally to any type of reciprocating pump, and such matter is intended to fall within the scope of this disclosure.

FIGS. 1 a-1 c depict apump head 10 according to one embodiment of the disclosure. Thepump head 10 may comprise a connectingrod 12 in acylinder 13, driven by a drive train (not shown) which may include a drive motor. The connectingrod 12 may be reciprocally driven by the drive train and may, in turn, drive apiston 14. Thepiston 14 may operate in hydraulic fluid. Adiaphragm 16 may separate the hydraulic fluid from the process fluid. Thepiston 14 may be moved rearward (toward the drive train), thereby drawing thediaphragm 16 back toward thepiston 14. In this way, a pumpingchamber 18 may expand in volume. Thediaphragm 16 will move back until drawn up against adiaphragm support 19 which includes adish insert 20. - The

In this way, thediaphragm 16 is protected from unnecessary contact withfasteners 30. The arrangement offasteners 30 may be such that thedish insert 20 has only one possible orientation in thepump head 12, while still providing sufficient securing force. For example, the fasteners may be offset or asymmetrical. InFIG. 2 , an embodiment in shown wherein thefasteners 30 are arranged near the perimeter of the dish insert 20 (to provide sufficient mounting force), but not evenly distributed about the circumference (to allow only one orientation of thedish insert 20 in the pump head 12). - Dish inserts according to the instant disclosure may include removal means.

When removing thedish insert 40 from a pump head, fasteners are removed from mountingholes 42 and the same fasteners or different fasteners may be threaded into the removal holes 44. Fasteners may be screwed into the removal holes 44 until the fasteners “bottom out” on thepump head 10. In this way, fasteners may force thedish insert 40 out of the mounted position by acting against the threads as a jack screw.Peripheral edges dish insert 40 may be chamfered for easier insertion and removal. Chamfered edges also allow for less wear on a diaphragm where thedish insert 40 meets the pump head. -
