Definitions

  • FIG. 2 ARRANGEMENT FOR THE ATTACHMENT OF A SUBWATER PUMP AT ITS OUTLET TUBE IN A WELL, PREFERABLY FOR DRAIN WATER CONDUITS AND THE LIKE Filed March 6, 1968 3 Sheets-Sheet 1 FIG. 2
  • FIG. 5 2s FIG [II-I-5 2' 2 .L 'r ⁇ LE-5
  • the invention is directed to means for attaching a subwater pump to outlet conduits and the like with flanges having magnetic components and includes guide members for assisting in joining the flanges on the pump and the outlet tubes.
  • the pump is mounted in hinged relation about a horizontal axis so that it can be rocked up from working position into a higher position.
  • Swedish patent specification 85,274 Swedish patent specification 85,274.
  • a complicated guide construction by means of which one could immerse the pump under such control that it is automatically brought into the correct position whereby the flanges on the pump and on the drain conduit are mutually inclined in such a way that they become attached to each other by wedge action.
  • the present invention avoids these disadvantages.
  • the invention is based upon the idea, that one should provide the attachment pressure between the flanges by magnetic attraction. Thereby, however, one meets with another difliculty.
  • Magnetic coupling between two tube conduits is somewhat known, but it has never been hithertofore 3,519,072 Patented July 7,, 1970 usable for the prupose concerned here.
  • tightening means thereby, one may preferably use a ring-formed, resilient tightening means, which, preferably, is in part enclosed in and attached to one of the flanges and preferably in the flange which is most easy to get at for inspection.
  • At least one of the flanges may be combined with the tube part concerned under inter-connection of preferably resilient elements, allowing for a limited universal articulation of the flange and thereby an adaption of the level of the flange to the level of the opposite flange.
  • the adjustable flange thereby is suitably formed as a ring, embracing the tube parts end and being vulcanized to said end by means of a ring-formed rubber element, which has such a form and situation that it will be subjected to radial c0mpression strain when the flanges are pushed aside, but to axial strain, when the flange changes its angular position relative to the tubing, the rubber element thereby also serving as push damper spring.
  • FIG. 1 shows a vertical section through a drain water well, in which a sub-Water pump is provided to be connected to an outlet tube;
  • FIG. 2 in turn shows a vertical section along the line II-II in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 shOWs in partial axial section the two coupling parts, and
  • FIG. 4 shows the coupling flange, which is provided withh magnets, from the front side.
  • FIG. 5 shows a vertical section through another drain water well in which a subwater pump is provided to be attached to an outlet tube in accordance with this invention, but in which the directioning and the connection of the flanges of the tube parts is made by modified means.
  • FIG. 6 shows in enlarged scale the coupling flanges in FIG. 5, and FIG.
  • FIG. 7 shows the coupling flange, which is provided with magnets according to FIG. 6, seen from the line VIIVII in FIG. 6.
  • FIG. 8 shows a vertical section through a third drain water well, in which a subwater pump is arranged to be connected to an outlet tube by means of a coupling arrangement according to the invention for rocking about a vertical axis, and
  • FIG. 9 shows a horizontal section through the well of FIG. 8 with the pump in its not yet connection position.
  • the numeral 1 is a drain water well, in which an outlet tube 2 is rigidly mounted, having its mouth close to the bottom of the well, and to which the outlet stud of a subwater draining pump 3 is intended to be releasably attached in such a way that the pump, when needed, may be elevated from the well for service or remounting.
  • an outlet tube 2 is rigidly mounted, having its mouth close to the bottom of the well, and to which the outlet stud of a subwater draining pump 3 is intended to be releasably attached in such a way that the pump, when needed, may be elevated from the well for service or remounting.
  • the flange on the outlet stud 3 of the pump is for this purpose provided with a rigidly connected so called magnet flange, generally indicated by 4, and comprising a ring-formed plate, in which there is applied a plurality of permanent magnets 5 as well as a resilient tightening ring 6 of O-ring-type, which is in part enclosed in a ring-formed plate, in which there is applied a plurality of parmanent magnets 5 as well as a resilient tightening ring 6 of O-ring-type, which is in part enclosed in a ringformed grove around a strongly beveled mouth 7 of the stream opening 8 of the magnet flange ring.
  • This flange washer also has a beveled mouth 11. If the outlet tube should already in itself be made from a material suitable from the point of view of magnetic attraction then the flange washer 10 may, of course, be omitted and the bevelling 11 may be made directly in the mouth of the tube.
  • the bevelings 7 and 11, respectivey, are intended to assure that the couping parts sohuld be separable from each other rather easily under mutual vertical displacement; also if some impurities should happen to be situated in the opening between the coupling parts.
  • two tubes or bars 13 are provided between the holder 9 in the bottom of the well and the frame 12, embracing the descendent opening of the well, said tubes or bars being substantially parallel and being placed in such distance from each other that the outlet stud 3' 0f the pump inside of the magnet flange 4 is movable between them.
  • the distance between the tubes or bars 13 is increased somewhat to make it possible to introduce the magnet flange 4, when the immersing movement of the pump is started, and at the lower part there is provided between the tubes or bars 13 a cross-bar 14, against which the outlet stud 3' of the pump will rest in an axially displaceable manner; see also FIG. 3.
  • the pump 3 is carried up not only by this cross-bar acting in cooperation with the outlet stud 3', when in its lowest position, but also by a suitable somewhat resilient tooth 15, which is attached to the pump at its end remote from the outlet stud.
  • the magnet flange of the pump may be provided with a screen like splash protector 19.
  • the magnet flange of the pump may be provided with a screen like splash protector 19.
  • FIG. 5 also illustrates coupling together the outlet stud of a pump 3 with the flanged lower end in a drain well of a rigidly mounted outlet tube 2 from the well.
  • the lower part of the outlet tube 2 is supported by a holder 9', and as is best seen from FIG. 6the mouth flange 2' of the outlet tube may be provided with a ring-formed flange washer 10 of same kind as above.
  • mouth bevelling of the magnet flange 4' as well as of the opening of the flange washer 10 is used such as described in the earlier example.
  • the magnet flange 4 may be of same type as the already described magnet flange 4, but for the purpose of explanation it has been provided with a modified arrangement of the permanent magnets, which, however, will in no way change its properties or functioning.
  • the magnet flange 4 is provided with a rigidly applied, downwardly open cover 20 having side parts diverging downwardly, said cover, as will best be seen from FIG. 7, serving as catching hoop arranged to bestride the mouth flange 2' of the outlet tube 2 with its flange washer when the pump is immersed into the well.
  • the primary directioning of the pump 3 during the immersing operation is created by using two support wires or chains 21 and 22.
  • the wires or chains 21 and 22 may suitably be manipulated by means of a hand winch 24, which is carried up by a transport carriage 25, which may be driven above the descendence opening to the drain well.
  • this carriage 25 may be provided with plugs or projections may be brought into cooperation with fittings 26 on the frame 12', surrounding the descendent opening, whereby the carriage will always assume a predetermined position.
  • the wires or chains 21 and 22 are wound up or out from the wire drum of the hand winch 24, and when the pump 3 approaches its completely lowered position the cover 20 rides over the mouth flange of the outlet tube 2 and guides the coupling flanges into a preparatory position opposite to each other.
  • a further wire or chain 27 which may preferably be somewhat extendable, for instance by its one end being connected to a rather strong but short spring (not shown), and this further wire or chain 27 is then placed so that it will take over part of the weight of the pump 3 when the pump approaches its lowermost position thereby serving as a pendulum wire, at which the pump will tend to execute a pendulum movement onto the mouth of flange 2 of the outlet tube 2 during the last moment of the immersing movement when the cover 20 already rides over the said flange and thus will guide the coupling parts.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 likewise there is provided an outlet tube 2 in a drain well 1', said outlet tube having its mouth in the lower part of the well and further being provided with a vertical connection flange 2', with a flange washer 10.
  • the lower part of the outlet tube is carried up by a holder 9" with a bottom plate, which also carries up a suitable bearing 29 for the lower end of a vertical guide 30, the upper end of which is rotatably supported in a fixture 31, attached to the reinforcement frame 12" around the descending opening of the well.
  • the guide 30, which may also be rotatable about a vertical axis, shows a noncircular cross section and its lower end is provided with a support flange 32.
  • the sub-water pump 33 in this case,
  • the pump 33 is provided with a connection stud 33', which has a vertical flange, said flange being in a level, which is not tangential to the rotational axis of the guide 30.
  • the flange 36 is provided with a magnet flange 4 of same kind as has been described above, said magnet flange being intended to cooperate with the flange washer 10 around the mouth of the outlet tube whereby a sufficient directioning of the coupling parts is intended to be achieved when the pump 33 is rotated counterclockwise after lowering.
  • the required rotation of the guide 30, may be provided by any suitable means, for instance a monkey wrench or a tube wrench indicated at 38 in FIG. 8.
  • the guide 30 assumes such a position so that the magnet flange 4 will also in the lowered position of the pump, and be sufliciently far away from the mouth flange of the outlet tube so that the magnet flange 4 shall not have a tendency to cause an immediate mutual attraction of the coupling parts, and this position of the guide, of course, may be predetermined in a suitable way.
  • the magnet flange will complete the connection principally in the same way as described above, and when the pump shall be released and elevated, the coupling parts will be displaced sidewardly in a suitable way by the force, executed by the elevation wire or chain 39.
  • a pumping apparatus for attachment to an outlet tube unit submerged in a well comprising:
  • a first flange mounted on said pump unit and having a smooth surface
  • a second flange mounted in use on the outlet tube unit and having a smooth surface
  • said magnetic means is on said pump unit; and the flange disposed in use on the outlet tube unit is soft steel.
  • said guide means includes a pair of parallel rods disposed in use substantially vertically in the well;
  • said pump unit having a portion joining the flange thereof to the main body thereof, said joining portion being movable between said rods while said body is disposed on one side thereof and said flange is disposed on the other side thereof.
  • the distance between said rods at the upper ends thereof is greater than the distance between said rods at the lower ends thereof to facilitate moving the flange of said pump unit through said rods so that the joining portion becomes disposed between said rods.
  • stop means disposed in use in the well and arranged to limit downward movement of said pump unit to a position wherein said flanges are in facing relationship.
  • wire means fixed in use at a point below the working position of said pump unit and passing through said eye and accessible at a point above the well, whereby pulling upwardly on said wire means causes said pump unit to move toward the outlet tube unit.
  • said guide means includes:
  • a pendulum wire attached to said pump unit at a third point thereon and to a point above said pump unit and arranged to cause said pump unit to make a pendulum-like movement toward the outlet tube unit so that the flanges contact.
  • a directional cover covering the flange on said pump unit and extending partially outwardly therefrom and arranged to embrace the flange on the outlet tube unit when said pump unit is immersed into facing relationship with the tube unit.
  • said pump unit being nonrotatably and longitudinally movably mounted on said rod;
  • said guide means having a first position wherein the flange on said pumping unit is spaced sufficiently from the flange on the outlet tube unit to prevent magnetic attraction therebetween;
  • said guide means being rotatable to a second position wherein the flange of said pump unit is substantially closer to the flange of the outlet tube unit to cause magnetic attraction therebetween.
  • said rod is non-circular and said guide means includes at least one hook on said pump unit which embraces said rod to afford rotational movement of said pump unit only when said rod rotates.
  • said rod is rotatably geared in use at a point below the working position of said pump unit and at a point above the Well.
  • a flange disposed in use in the well and arranged to stop downward movement of said pump unit at a position wherein said flanges are in facing relationship.
