Description
W. C. HEATH Nov. 1, 1949.
JET PUMP Filed July 5, 194'? Patented Nov. 1, 1949 U [TED STATES ATENT FFICE This invention relates to a jet pump and has particular relation to the Venturi assembly for a jet pump.
One object of the invention is to provide a jet pump of increased efficiency.
Another object is to provide a jet pump in which the Venturi centers itself relative to the jet of the pump to increase the efficiency of the Venturi and pump.
A further object is to provide a jet pump with a glass coated generally lightweight metal ven turi to improve the efficiency of the Venturi and protect the same from corrosion.
These and other objects of the invention will appear hereinafter in connection with the folvention illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section with parts in elevation of a pump to which the invention is applied;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged View illustrating the assembly Of the Venturi tube in the pump; and
Fig. 3 is an enlarged section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
The jet pump shown in the drawing to illustrate the invention comprises a tubular body member 1! formed of two parts, with the lower part being cylindrical and terminating in a semispherical shape to form the base of the pump and the other part being generally cylindrical in shape and having a flat upper wall to close the upper portion lOf the body member.
The pumped liquid intake pipe 2 is threaded into the central part of the base portion of member l. The power fluid pipe 3 and the Venturi housing i are threaded side by side into the flat upper wall of the upper part of member I substantially opposite to intake pipe 2 which extends into the well or other place from which fluid is to be pumped.
The discharged conduit 5 is threaded onto the upper end of housing 4 to carry off the discharged fluid from the pump as will be described.
The conduit 6 of a generally semi-circular shape is disposed inside body member I. The inlet end of conduit 6 is brazed or welded to the boss or enlargement i of member I which is provided to support the conduit 6 and into which the power fluid pipe 3, previously described, is threaded. The conical shaped passage 8 is formed in boss 1 for transfer of the power fluid from pipe 3 to conduit 6.
The discharge end of conduit 6 comprises the 4 Claims. (Cl. 103-260) .15 lowing description of an embodiment of the innozzle 9 which is formed with a relatively long smooth passage of gradually decreasing cross section to eliminate turbulence and insure a smooth liquid jet issuing from the nozzle.
The Venturi tube It which is assembled within Venturi housing 3 is of Venturi shape and formed from generally thin metal. Tube H3 is coated inside and out with ceramic enamel II to protect the tube from corrosion and to improve the efiiciency of the tube in discharging the fluid flowing therethrough.
The inner or entry end l2 of tube It is flared to more readily receive the pumped fluid flowing through body member I and end I2 of the tube extends within body member l and surrounds nozzle 5 to receive the jet therefrom as well as the pumped fluid referred to.
The outer end of tube ll) is slightly flanged and is encircled by the resilient rubber member member I3 which may be vulcanized thereto. Member l3 engages the inwardly turned flange Hi on the end of Venturi housing t and is vulcanized to the flange as well as to the side wall of housing 4 encircling member l3 adjacent flange M. The rubber member may be secured to housing 6 in other ways than by vulcanizing. The rubber also operates to seal the end of housing 4 to prevent the escape of fluid.
The remainder of tube H] is radially spaced from housing i and body member I and being resiliently suspended the tube is free to center itself relative to the center of the jet of power fluid issuing from nozzle 9. Other structure than that described which leaves the tube free to swing for self centering, may be employed.
The upper end of tube It! is aligned with discharge conduit 5 so that the tube discharges the fluid flowing through the pump into conduit 5 to be carried off thereby.
In assembling the Venturi of the invention, where vulcanized rubber is employed, rubber member [3 is first vulcanized to the outer end of tube I0 after the tube has been coated with ceramic enamel ll.
The tube is then slipped into housing 4 until member l3 engages flange M, and the end of the housing is heated to a suitable temperature to vulcanize the rubber flange l4 and the adjacent cylindrical end portion of the housing.
The housing 4, intake pipe 2 and power fluid pipe 3, are then threaded into the body member I within which conduit 6 has already been secured, and the discharge conduit 5 is threaded onto housing 4.
In operation, the power fluid flows through pipe 3, passage 8, conduit 6, and then is discharged into Venturi tube in by nozzle 9 of conduit 6, in a relatively thin annular jet. As the jet of power fluid issues into tube It], the fluid being pumped is sucked or drawn into the pump body I through intake pipe 2, and flows into flared end l2 of tube l around nozzle 9 to join with the jet of power fluid and be discharged through tube 10 and discharge conduit 5.
As the jet varies in service the Venturi tube is free to swing to center itself axially at all times relative to the jet. This minimizes friction and turbulence. In addition the ceramic enamel coating II on the inside of tube I0 provides a smooth unrestricted surface over which the pumped and power fluid flows, to combine with the free swinging and self centering of the Venturi tube and increase the efficiency of the Venturi and the overall efliciency of the pump.
The pump has many uses and is particularly effective in handling gummy or oily or abrasive fluids.
Various embodiments of the invention may be employed within the scope of the accompanying claims.
