PUMP WITH DIFFERENTIAL 'IMPELLER CONTROL Filed D80. 21, 1944 14 r 123 H1 24$ 24 C i if Patented Mar. 23, 1948' PUMP WITH DIFFERENTIAL IMPELLER CONTROL Ray G. Holt, Euclid, Ohio, assignor,
assignments, to Borg-Warner Corporation, cago, 111., a corporation of Illinois by mesne Chi- Application December 21, 1944, semi n6. 569,128 7 Claims. (01. ma-a'n This invention relates to centrifugal impeller pumps and particularly to an improved arrangement for adjusting the position of-the impeller.
Centrifugal impeller pumps are being used to an increasing extent as standby booster pumps located in or adjacent the fuel tanks of aircraft, the driving motor being cut on and off depending upon the demand for pressure. While the centrifugal type of impeller permits of flow therethrough when stationary the same nevertheless ofiers some obstruction to the free passage of fluid thereby.
I have found that this problem can be effectively solved by forming a portion of the fluid channel defining means as part of the housing and forming the remainder of the channel in the rotating impeller together with a-novel arrangement of means for effecting the axial adjustment of the impeller in such a way that when the impeller is not being rotated the same is withdrawn away from the housing portion defining part of the fluid channel whereby to reduce the obstruction to fluid flow through the pump. I have provided means responsive to the development of a pressure differential by the rotation of the impeller effective to move the same axially to bring the pumping channels formed in the impeller into closely spaced relation to that portion of the channel defining means formed as part of the housing, whereby to improve the pumping efficiency of the impeller when the same is being driven.
It is, therefore, the primary object of this invention to provide an improved and novel centrifugal pump arrangement effective to carry out the above mode of operation, which arrangement is both efficient in its operation and practicable of manufacture and installation.
Other objects, advantages, and uses of the present invention will become apparent from a reading of the following specification taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which forms a part thereof and wherein:
Fig. 1 is a broken away cross-sectional view taken on the general axis of a centrifugal pump incorporating a preferred embodiment of the peller showing the arrangement of open-sided spiral pumping grooves formed therein.
Referring in greater detail to the figures of the drawing, there is indicated generally at ill the essential elements of a centrifugal booster pump incorporating a preferred form of the invention. Pump housing ii includes impeller chamber l2 having a coaxial fluid inlet i3 and a surrounding volute discharge chamber l4. Received within pumping chamber I2 is a special impeller and supporting arrangement indicated generally at 2| to which the present invention is particularly directed.
The special impeller: arrangement 2i preferably includes impeller proper 22 mounted in splined or keyed relation on rotatable shaft 23 adapted to be driven by a suitable motor (not shown). Impeller proper 22 includes a radiallyextending disc-like portion 24 formed in the inlet face 26 thereof with a plurality of spirally extending grooves or channels 21 beginning adjacentthe axis and communicating with the outwardly disposed volute chamber l4. The curved invention and showing the impeller in the retracted position occupied thereby when not being rotated;
Fig. 2 is a view similar to that of Fig. l but showing the impeller in the axially adjusted position to which the same is movedin' response to the fluid pressure generated thereby; and
Fig. 3 is a broken away plan view of the imchannel defining walls merge with inlet surface 26 at points 21a and 21b to define the open sides of the channels. Surrounding inlet [3 is a generally transversely extending wall surface Ila complementary to impeller inlet surface 26 and functioning when impeller 22 is in closely spaced relation to this surface Ila to define a substantial closure for the radially outward portion of the channels 21 disposed opposite thereto. This relation is important to the development and maintenance of a pressure differential between inlet i3 and volute chamber M. The spacing between impeller 22 and transverse surface Ila in the pumping position indicated in Fig. 2 is preferably maintained at a very small value of the order of only several ten-thousandths of an inch. This position of the impeller with reference to transverse surface I la shown in Fig. 2 will be referred to for the purpose of description as "the first axial position of the impeller. The outer periphery of impeller 22 is preferably generally parallel to the axis of rotation as indicated at 24a and given a limited small clearance with reference to cylindrical-like portion lib of housing Ii to thus define with the housing and the undersurface 24b of impeller 22 a pressure responsive motive means for effecting the axial adjustment of the impeller into said first position. The limited clearance between cylindrical wall llb of the housing and the cooperating periphery 24a of the impeller func-. tions to admit pressure fluid from volute chamber M to motive chamber 240.
The splined or keyed driving relationship between shaft 23 and impeller 22 preferably includes an axial tubular extension 22a on impeller 22 internally splined at- 28 for cooperation with key 29 received in arcuate recess 3| of shaft 23. Coil compression spring 32 acts between shoulder 33 on shaft 23 and shoulder 22b on impeller extension 22a for urging the impeller from said first position into telescoping position within chamber 240 with the inner terminal of tubular portion 22a in contact with stop 23a on shaft 23, which position will be referred to as the second axial position. In this second position impeller 24 is sufficiently removed axially from transverse surface Ila to eliminate the impeller as an obstructing influence in the path of fluid flow between inlet l3 and volute chamber id at such time as when fluid is being drawn through the pump with impeller 22 remaining stationary.
In addition to the above described structure, I contemplate the provision of the necessary additional elements for complete and satisfactory operation including preferably a screen 34 surrounding the inlet, a converging inlet guide l3a and cooperating beater 36 which may be threadably fastened to' the terminal of shaft 23.
In the normal manner of employing the present arrangement the pump ill will be located in or adjacent the fuel tank remote from and in series with the engine driven pump (not shown). At such time as the pressure condition in the supply line to the engine driven pump is satisfactory booster pump III will be allowed to remain stationary and under such conditions impeller 22 will remain in said second or retracted position shown in Fig. 1 so that impeller will impose no significant or appreciable obstruction to the passage of fluid or fuel from the tank through the pump l and to the engine driven pump. However, should the pressure in the system require the operation of pump ill the same will be placed into operation by suitable conventional means-and immediately upon impeller 22 being rotated a pressure differential will be created between inlet I 3 and volute chamber 14. This pressure in volute chamber I4 is directed between cylindrical wall lib and the periphery 24a of the impeller into motive chamber 240 where the same acts upon pressure responsive piston-like surface 24b forcing the impeller away from said second position shown in Fig. 1 into said first position shown in Fig. 2 wherein the transverse housing wall surface Ila functions to substantially close the radial outer portion of the open side of spiral pumping channels 21 to thus improve the pumping effectiveness of impeller 22. As long as impeller 22 is being driven the pressure differential between inlet l3 and that existing in volute chamber I 4 and motive chamber 240 will be suflicient to maintain impeller 22 in the position shown in Fig. 2 with the im eller in engagement with stop 33 on shaft 23. When this condition no longer exists and shaft 23 has been stopped as by cutting off the energy to the driving motor then coil compression spring 32 becomes effective to shift impeller 22 to said second position with the terminal of tubular extension 2201.- in contact with stop 23a on shaft 23. v
While I have described my invention in connection with a specific embodiment thereof, it will be understood that this is by way of example rather than limitation and that the invention is to be defined by the'appended claims.
