Definitions

  • a pump assembly comprises a principal or first [54] ggg gggfisggg g gigg on cylinder with a uniformly reciprocating first piston and a suc- 1 claim 1 Drama tion line and a pressure or exit line governed by valve means at g the end of each piston stroke, and auxiliary or second cylinder [52] 11.8.
  • C1 417/265, h i a most one-half of the capacity of the first cylinder and 417/426 a uniformly reciprocating second piston cooperating with a ll".
  • My invention relates to a pump assembly causing in its discharge or pressure tubing a uniform or a programmed periodical movement of a liquid. This requirement applies to many modern laboratory methods for example to automatic chromatographic analyzers wherein the flow of liquid has to be maintained at a highly accurate mean value and wherein pulsations of the work of the pump assembly have to be avoided or at least held at a minimum. This is important because said pulsations limit the mechanical properties of the material used as a charge in the column or the like, for example causing a progressing permanent deformation of the granulated charge.
  • one or more piston pumps press the liquid simultaneously or alternately through a common discharge tubing. They work as a rule in periods of 5 to l0 seconds and each pump is governed by a special distributing device. As the discharges from the individual pistons alternate, the relevant tubings are switched over very quickly to a common exit piping by means of a special hydraulic switching device. These hydraulic switching devices are operated either mechanically by means of cams or by means of pnuematic servomotors which are equipped with a special distribution means for auxiliary pressure air. A substantial drawback of these pumps is their unusual mechanical complexity and the high requirements on accurate machining of cams, relatively large cylinders, pistons and the like.
  • a main feature of the invention resides in the fact that the uniform or freely programmed periodical movement of a liquid through at least one tubing, namely either a suction tubing or a discharge tubing, is secured by connecting at least one of the said tubings which are separated against the working space of a main pumping cylinder by a distribution member with a compensation cylinder the piston of which performs a periodical movement equal to the period of the piston of the main working pumping cylinder.
  • the movement of the piston of the compensation pump is such that the liquid is supplied into the compensation pump, or that it is discharged in another part of the period into a common tubing, at a rate which just compensates the difference between the instantaneous value of a periodically changing transportation velocity of the liquid, insofar as it is produced by the main pumping cylinder, and the mean or programmed periodically changing value of the velocity of the movement of the liquid in the relevant tubing.
  • the discharge from the pump has to be uniform. But in some cases it may be important that the movement in the suction tube of the pump or in both tubes be uniform. The most important case for practical purposes of the desired uniform discharge or displacement requires of course to provide in the above-mentioned manner a special compensation of the pulsations in the discharge tubing by means of a special compensation cylinder.
  • the advantage of the pump in accordance with the invention resides in the fact that for achieving a uniform movement in the suction or discharge tubing it is only required to connect thereto a compensation cylinder having a reciprocating piston but no distribution device such as valve means.
  • the pump in accordance with the invention can work with a long period -(for example some tens of seconds), but conveniently with a short period, for example 1 second or even less.
  • a long period for example some tens of seconds
  • a short period for example 1 second or even less.
  • any inaccuracies have such short duration in comparison with an absolutely regular discharge that they may be better tolerated than could be the case in known types of pumps with a long working period.
  • Any irregularities in pumps in accordance with the invention are manifested by so short variations about the central value of the transflux that as a rule, they completely disappear already in view of the resilience of the walls of the employed device and of the columns themselves and particularly in the case of the usual application of a manometer.
  • the plasticity of the usual types of manometers represents by itself a sufficiently large resilient capacity which in the overall connection becomes effective in combination with the resistance of the column as a filter of relatively high frequency variations, so that even without the use of any additional dampers of pulsations a sufficiently regular discharge is achieved even if the mechanism comprises irregularities which could not be tolerated in known types of pumps. But this does not mean that in the pump in accordance with the invention the existence of such irregularities would have to be considered. On the contrary, with the same accuracy of the cams it is possible for the above-mentioned reasons, particularly at higher speeds of the pump in accordance with the invention, to better achieve uniform rates of flow which lie below admissible tolerances of irregularities of absolutely uniform transflux or rate of flow.
  • the plungers 12, 22 move with uniform speed in cylinders 11, 21 in identical periods but in mutually adverse directions so that one plunger sucks material in while the other pushes material out, and vice versa.
  • the volumetric work of plunger 22 will be substantially one-half of that of plunger 12 by diminishing namely substantially halving either its stroke or its diameter in relation to plunger 12.
  • Plunger l2 sucks material into cylinder 11 through inlet line 34 and presses it out therefrom through the outlet lines 31, 33, said lines 31 and 34 being governed by the valve member 30.
  • the auxiliary or second cylinder 21 is connected to the outlet line 31 by line 32 which alternately serves as inlet or suction line and as outlet or pressure line therefor.
  • valve member 30 is operated by the jointed levers 35, 36 which are actuated by the arm 38 ofa three-armed lever 37 turnable over the stationary pin 40 and bearing rollers 41 on its shorter arms 39. These rollers are alternately displaced by the cam 42 which either rotates with shaft 17 or is at least timely coordinated with cam 16.
  • the device operates as follows:
  • plunger 12 is in its lowest position at the beginning of the pressure stroke and plunger 13 in its highest position at the beginning of its suction stroke.
  • the valve member 30 connects the principal cylinder 11 over the tubular section 31 to the exit or pressure line 33 and over the continuing section 32 with the auxiliary cylinder 21. While plunger 12 moves upward to press material formerly sucked into cylinder 11 through section 31 into the exit line 33, a portion of said material for example one-half thereof is sucked by the downwardly moving plunger 22 through tubular section 32 into cylinder 21. At the ends of these strokes the valve member 30 is turned to connect cylinder 11 with the inlet line 34 so that the downwardly moving plunger 12 again sucks material into cylinder 11. Simultaneously the upwardly moving plunger 22 presses the precedingly sucked-in material through tubular section 32 into the exit line 33 thereby assuring a programmed or constant flow therethrough.
  • the earns 17, 27 and 42 may be exchangeable against other similarly cooperating cams to provide other strokes to pistons 12 and 22 and thus to change the programmed flow through the common outlet tubing 33.
  • a small capacity uniform discharge rate pump assembly comprising a first pump and a second pump, each of said pumps having a reciprocating piston in a cylinder and a port communicating with the interior of said cylinder, said pump assembly including an inlet passage and an outlet passage and rotaryvalve means, first means for conducting fluid between said inlet passage and said valve means, second means for conducting fluid between said valve means and said second pump port, said outlet passage communicating with said second fluid-conducting means said first pump port communicating with said valve means, said rotary valve means including a rotary valve element having an interior passage having an inlet and outlet spaced from each other around the circumference of said valve element, said passage being arranged for communicating exclusively between said first conducting means and said first pump port in a first rotary position and exclusively between said second conducting means and said first pump port in a second rotary position, said first conducting means communicating with said valve means on the opposite side of said pump port from said second conducting means, said first and second conducting means having substantially equal angular spacing from said pump port for mutually exclusive alternate alignment with said passage inlet and outlet
