  • ABSTRACT F THE DlSCLOSURE Reciprocating electromagnetic pump comprising a pump element the elastically returned diaphragm of which displaces uid between a suction valve and a delivery valve, an electromagnet core connected by a rod to the said diaphragm to detorm the latter when the electromagnet is energized and a switch tripped by the rod at the end of the operative stroke of the said core to interrupt the energization of the electromagnet and permit the elastic return of the said diaphragm into a rest position.
  • the rod controls the displacements of an element associated with the switch and is connected elastically to the casing of the pump so as to be able to occupy, by sudden tripping, two stable positions respectively in the periods of end of forward stroke and end of return stroke of the said rod, the said element being disposed so that it can produce the open condition of the switch in one position and the closed condition in the other position.
  • the present invention relates to improvements in a reciprocating electromagnetic pump.
  • Such a reciprocating electromagnetic pump is of the type comprising a pump element the elastically returned diaphragm of which displaces uid between an inlet valve and a delivery valve, an electromagnet core connected by a rod to the said diaphragm for the deformation of the latter when the electromagnet is energised and a switch tripped by the rod at the end of the operative stroke of the said core to interrupt the energization of the electromagnet and permit the elastic return of the said diaphragm into a rest position.
  • the drive rod of the diaphragm acts directly upon the push member of a switch and the stroke of this push member determines and limits the stroke of the drive rod.
  • the pump according to the invention is characterised in that the rod controls the displacement of an element associated with the said switch and connected elastically to the casing of the pump so that by sudden tripping it is able to occupy two stable positions respectively in the periods of the end of the forward stroke and the end of the return stroke of the said rod, the said element being disposed so that it causes the open condition of the switch in one position and the closed condition in the other position.
  • the said element consists of a sleeve through which the ICC rod passes and which cooperates with drive stops provided on the latter to thrust the said sleeve respectively p into the one or the other of the said stable positions.
  • the sleeve is supported by a suddenly rocking exible blade extending in a plane substantially perpendicularly to the said rod and the ends of which are engaged in notches formed in the casing of the pump.
  • the rod comprising the stops entrains the said element only at the ends of the stroke of the core and in this manner the latter acts on the rod while the stop controlling the displacement of the said element causing opening of the electric circuit has not come into abutment with the said element to cause the sudden tripping from which the controlling of the switch results.

  • the pump which has just been described is of a type which is conventional in the iield of manually controlled screen washers.
  • a pump is of the suction and forcepump type.
  • the diaphragm 12 In the drawing the diaphragm 12 is in the rest position, that is to say at the end of a suction cycle.

  • the casing 48' is closed by a lid 50* against the internal face of which there is stuck an elastic foam washer 52.
  • a soft iron magnetic core 54 which is normally thrust elastically towards the washer 52 by a rod 56 the upper end of which abuts against the lower face of the core S4 and the lower frusto-conical end of which is centred in a similarly frusto-conical cavity of the diaphragm 12.
  • the rod 56 comprises a part '58 ⁇ of larger diameter dening a shoulder 60y and at its lower part has a flange 162. In this way the rod 56 is guided by the 3 part 58 in the tube 46 and by its fHange 62 against the wall 64 of the casing 10.

  • the sleeve-forming element 66 has a radial internal flange 72 the internal diameter of which is less than the diameter of the part 58 of the rod 56, so that the said flange 72 constitutes a projection against which the shoulder 60 of the part 58 of the rod 56 can come into abutment in order to drive the sleeve 66 slidingly in a downward movement of the rod 56.
  • the sleeve 66 bears through a collar 74 against the flange 62 of the rod 56.
  • the dimensions of the various elements as just described in the axial direction are such that, in the rest position as represented in FIG. l, the diaphragm 12 elastically thrusts the flange 68 of the sleeve 66 against the shoulder 70 of the tube 46 through the intermediary of the ilange 62 of the rod 56 and that a clearance A exists between the shoulder 60 of the rod 56 and the internal flange 72 of the sleeve 66.
  • two rectangular ports 76 are cut out the axes of symmetry of which in the axial direction are substantially in the sectional plane of FIG. l. These ports extend axially over a distance slightly leSs than that between the central flange 68 of the sleeve 66 and the collar 74 situated at the lower end of the latter.
  • the ports 76 there are lodged rectangular blades 78 of elastic metal, for example spring steel.
  • the blades 78 have a length slightly greater than that of the ports 76 and a width slightly less than that of the said ports, so that they are capable of exing, as shown in the drawing, towards the interior of these ports.
  • the central part of the blades 78 is connected to an elastic suddenly tripped blade designated as a whole by the reference 80, which will now be described with more particular reference to FIG. 4.
  • the lblade 80 is in the form of a rectangular elongated frame having two major sides 82 conected on the one hand by a blade part forming a heel 84 engaged in a transverse slot 86 formed in an insulating block forming part of the casing 10.
  • the heel 84 is on the one part prolonged by an electric connection tongue 87 and on the other towards the interior of the frame by a projecting blade portion 88 the free end of which is articulated to the central part of one of the two blades 78.
  • the end of the blade 80 opposite to the heel 84 comprises a contact bead 90 disposed -in a notch 92 formed in an insulating material part of the casing and having on its lower face a contact 94 capable of electrically cooperating with the contact 90.
  • the end part of the blade 80 carrying the contact bead 90 is prolonged towards the interior of the frame by a blade portion 95 extending parallel with the edge 82 to come into articulated cooperation with the other blade 78.
  • the contact bead 94 is carried -by a conductive material bar 96 which projects from the casing as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 to be connected with the electric supply circuit.
  • connection between the other connection terminal 98 (FIG. 3) and an input of the electromagnet coil 40 and the connection between the tongue 87 of the blade 80 and the output of the electromagnet are ⁇ represented diagrammatically by means of dot-and-dash lines.
  • the pump is in the rest position following a suction phase.
  • the chamber 22 is normally filled with liquid to be transmitted and the diaphragm 12 elastically thrusts the rod 56 and the core 54 into the upward position.
  • the flange 62 of the rod 56 holds the sleeve 66 likewise in the upward position in abut- Vthe terminal 98.
  • the electromagnet being energised, the
  • the core S4 displaces the rod 56 vertically downwards, considered in the drawing, which rod progressively deforms the diaphragm 12.
  • the shoulder 60 approaches the internal radial flange 72 of the sleeve 66 and the latter moves with the rod 56 once the clearance A has been taken up.
  • As the rod 56 and the sleeve 66 then move simultaneously by a stroke corresponding to the sudden tripping of the blade 80, which has the effect of causing the suddent disengagement of the bead 19 of the blade in departure from the bead 94 connected to the terminal 96. This then corresponds to the end of the delivery phase and the diaphragm 12 occupies the position represented in broken lines in FIG. 2.
  • the rod 56 re-ascends, pushing back the core 54 merely under the elastic effect of the diaphragm 12 which in its re-ascent eifects the suction into the chamber 22 of fluid coming from the tube 28 and the valve 32, the delivery valve 34 being closed and applied against its seating provided at the end of the conduit 26.
