Definitions

  • This disclosure pertains to, inter alia, various types of pumps that are magnetically driven. More specifically it pertains to such pumps in which a rotary or rotary-reciprocating element, such as a pump gear, is connected to a driven magnet housed in a magnet housing (“magnet cup”) in which the magnet is wetted by the fluid being pumped by the pump.
  • a rotary or rotary-reciprocating element such as a pump gear
  • a “sensor” usually includes a transducer or the like that converts the parameter being sensed (e.g., pressure or temperature) into a corresponding signal (e.g., an electronic or optical signal).
  • the sensor usually also includes an electronic circuit that receives data directly from the transducer and processes the data for use by other electronics as required for, e.g., providing a measure of the parameter or for use in control circuits. The measurement can be used, for example, for a display of the parameter (e.g., LED display).
  • An example control circuit includes a controller connected and configured to perform feedback control or other control of a motor or other actuator powering a pump.
  • the pump In hydraulic systems including a pump, the pump is typically a discrete stand-alone component, by which is meant that the pump is manufactured and sold separately, from other components, to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for incorporation into the OEM's own system, along with other components, fluid conduits, and the like.
  • OEMs original equipment manufacturers
  • sensors and indicators are also usually discrete components, configured and sold for use by OEMs in any of various applications. This arrangement works fine for most hydraulic circuits, particularly those in which space is not a constraining factor.
  • connecting a conventional discrete component into a hydraulic circuit typically requires some kind of static seal.
  • the components can be welded into place. While usually providing an effective static seal, a component welded into place is extremely difficult or impossible to remove.
  • static seal(s) are configured to allow a component to be removed from the system from time to time.
  • An exemplary static seal for this purpose is an elastomeric O-ring, ring seal, gasket, or the like.
  • elastomeric O-ring, ring seal, gasket, or the like is an elastomeric O-ring, ring seal, gasket, or the like.
  • these and analogous types of static seals exhibit an increased probability of leaks. Leakage risk can be a serious problem in submersible systems, systems handling hazardous fluids, and systems that must operate under severe conditions or that must operate trouble-free for extremely long periods of time.
  • Striving to reduce size of and/or to ruggedize a hydraulic system can substantially increase the difficulty of using certain discrete components such as pumps and sensors.
  • One challenge involves the difficulty of establishing and maintaining adequate seals, such as static seals isolating the interior of a pump housing from the exterior environment or sealing around a sensor extending from outside into the hydraulic flow path.
  • Another challenge arises from placing and connecting the components much closer together in the system. For example, placing a conventional stand-alone pressure sensor at the inlet or outlet of a miniaturized pump can result in a contorted arrangement that occupies too much space and in which the component is essentially shoe-horned into its location. These arrangements can excessively stress the components and/or their respective housings, compromise seals, and reduce the overall reliability and/or operational life of the components. In fact, requirements of small size and critical sealing can actually preclude the use of conventional fluidic sensors in a hydraulic system.
  • Pump systems described herein were developed in the course of researching possible improvements in gear pumps used for specific applications requiring miniaturization and improved ruggedness. Specifically, including one or more sensors as part of the physical pressure barrier (“housing”) of the pump provides much smaller pump-sensor combinations while mitigating the effects of any additional potential leaks by eliminating additional hydraulic connections.
  • the rotary pumping member For magnetically actuating a rotary pumping member (such as a combination of a driving gear and a driven gear in a gear pump), the rotary pumping member is coupled to a driven magnet configured to rotate on a longitudinal axis when driven by a magnet driver.
  • the driven magnet is sealingly housed in a magnet housing (“magnet cup”) that allows the magnet to be bathed by the pumped fluid and isolated from the external environment as the magnet is being driven. This maintains the location of driven parts of the pump within the fluid path and avoids having to use a leak-prone dynamic seal.
  • the ability to isolate the rotor environment from the stator environment is a primary advantage of magnetically-driven pumps.
  • Adding sensors to a magnetically-driven pump generally poses a challenge regarding how to deal with electrical connections between the sensor and the electronics that either control operation of the pump (for a feedback control-type sensor), or that store and/or communicate data (for a fluid monitoring-type sensor).
  • Some fluidic sensors that use wired electrical connections are designed so that the wires must pass through a hole (“through-hole”) in the fluid containment wall, thus requiring a seal to prevent fluid from contacting and possibly damaging the electronics.
  • through-holes and seals tends to make a pump less robust because each wire that enters a motor housing adds a potential leak point where moisture or environmental contaminants can gain access to the motor electronics.
  • magnet cup eliminates the need to use discrete component(s) to provide the sensor function(s), thereby eliminating static seal(s) that otherwise would be required.
  • Certain embodiments of magnet cups disclosed herein enable one or more sensors to be in indirect contact with the pumped fluid while avoiding the static seals normally required with sensors that are mounted to a fluid conduit or chamber and extend into the fluid pathway.
  • the volume of space that otherwise would be occupied by housing(s) of the stand-alone component(s) is reduced, resulting in a substantially more compact assembly.
  • the assemblies are made more compact and more reliable.
  • the sensor electronics can be coupled directly, with minimal or no external wiring, to motor-control electronics located, for example, on a printed circuit board situated inside a housing containing a magnet-driving stator.
  • pumping systems consistent with the disclosed sensing devices are not limited to gear pumps. Rather, they include any of various types of pumps having at least one movable pump element contained in a housing and coupled to a permanent magnet that is driven by magnetic forces that originate outside the housing and are directed at the magnet through walls of the housing.
  • the magnet is normally contained in a portion of the housing called a magnet housing or magnet cup.
  • the magnet and magnet cup are configured so that the magnet, when placed in a rotating magnetic field, rotates in the magnet cup about a longitudinal magnet axis.
  • the driven magnet usually has a substantially cylindrical shape and the magnet cup has a substantially hollow cylindrical (can-like) configuration that contains the driven magnet.
  • the driven magnet can be driven by a driving magnet coupled to the armature of a motor, or by a driving stator located outside the magnet cup. Lines of magnetic force produced by the driving magnet or by the stator pass through the wall of the magnet cup and inductively couple to the driven magnet. During running of the pump, these lines of magnetic force are directed so as to urge rotation of the driven magnet about its axis, which causes rotation of the rotary pump element.
  • the rotary pump element is termed a “driving gear” that is interdigitated with a corresponding driven gear.
  • the gear pump can be, for example, what is conventionally known as a “cavity style” or can include, for example, a “suction shoe,” or can be a hybrid of these.
  • piston pump Another type of pump involving a movable pump element coupled to a driven magnet is a piston pump.
  • piston pumps the piston undergoes both rotary and linearly reciprocating motion as driven magnetically.
  • Other exemplary types of pumps include centrifugal pumps, lobe pumps, or pumps that have a pressure-compliant member inside the housing.
  • the pump housing constitutes the physical pressure barrier of the pump, i.e., the physical barrier separating the inside of the pump from its external environment (and vice versa). Escape of fluid from inside the pump housing across the physical barrier constitutes a leak.
  • the pumps and hydraulic systems described herein exhibit fewer leaks under more aggressive pumping conditions, while providing improved pump performance over longer periods of time, compared to conventional pumps and systems.
  • the magnet cup constitutes a portion of the pump housing
  • at least one sensor is integrated into a wall of the magnetic cup so as not to be wetted by the pumped fluid.
  • Such an “integral sensor” is associated with the magnetic cup in such a way that it functions essentially as a part of the cup instead of as a separate, discrete component.
  • the integrated sensor is any of various sensors that can quantitatively react to their respective parameters as sensed across a wall or portion of a wall of the magnet cup, or a cross a wall or other fluid barrier coupled to a wall of the magnet cup.
  • the sensor(s) can be one or more of pressure sensors, temperature sensors, or other sensors such as, for example, conductivity sensors, resistivity sensors, turbidity sensors, flow-rate (viscosity) sensors, pH sensors, dissolved gas sensors, or sensors of other fluidic variables such as turbidity, dissolved ions, and optical absorption, or sensors that detect rotation of elements of the pump motor.
  • a conductivity sensor can be used, for example, to shut a pump down in the event of a “running dry” condition.
  • a rotation sensor can be used, for example, if a motor controller is sensorless, to sense rotation direction or whether rotation of a pumping element is occurring at all. An example rotation sensor is based on the Hall effect.
  • a dissolved gas sensor can be used to control a degassing system.
  • Exemplary sensor types include strain gauge sensors, capacitive sensors, resistive sensors, piezoelectric sensors, and electrodes such as ion-specific electrodes.
  • the sensors can be connected to other electronics by conventional conductors (wires, pins, and the like) or, if permitted by the type and general configuration of the sensor, by wireless connections.
  • Other Hall-effect sensors detect mechanical motion of one or more internal magnetic elements.
  • Inductive sensors include, for example, a voice coil for measuring acoustic signals and/or fine-positioned displacements. Another exemplary inductive sensor receives and/or transmits RF signals.
  • sensors are not limited to a particular wall of the magnet cup, or even to a magnet cup at all.
  • sensor(s) can be located at either the pump-inlet region of the magnet cup (for sensing, e.g., inlet pressure) or the pump-outlet region of the magnet cup (for sensing, e.g., outlet pressure).
  • Exemplary mounting arrangements of the sensor to a wall of the magnet cup or other region of the pump housing, thus producing an integral sensor include direct welded, separate membrane welded, over-molded, adhesive-mounted, statically sealed in place, clamped, mechanically joined, and integrated directly into the wall by molding or casting.
  • a strain-gauge based pressure sensor is capable of sensing pressure through the wall of a thin-walled magnet cup or through a localized thinner region of a magnet cup.
  • Such a sensor transducer can be coupled directly to an “unpierced” wall of the magnet cup.
  • a desirable method for mounting a capacitive sensor is resistance welding to a wall (e.g., the distal end wall) of a non-magnetic metal or injection-molded polymeric magnet cup.
