Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a double-acting pump of the kind which includes two cavities, each of which is divided into an operating chamber and a working chamber by means of a respective movable partition wall in the form of a piston or diaphragm, wherein each of the operating and working chambers is provided with a valve-controlled inlet and outlet for a gaseous driving and operating medium and for a pump- transported liquid working medium respectively, wherein the working chambers are located closest to one another and the operating chambers are located outwardly of an associated partition wall, and wherein a device for transmitting movement of one partition wall to the other, and vice versa, extends between the movable partition walls.
  • Double-acting pumps of this kind are known to the art from European Patent Specifications 0 132 913 and 0 181 756, for instance.
  • the operating medium is normally air and the working medium one of the liquids that are pumped through pipes primarily in the food industry, the chemical process industry and the pharmaceutical industry.
  • One drawback with known double-acting pumps is that the liquid working medium is delivered to and discharged from the working chambers through a relatively complicated conduit and valve arrange ⁇ ment which in addition to requiring a relatively large amount of space also generates pressure losses.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a novel and advantageous double-acting pump with which the aforesaid drawback is at least substantially eliminated.
  • each of the working chambers is connected to a common working medium inlet chamber located between said chambers, through the medium of a flap valve mounted in a respective working chamber wall and opening in response to underpressure in an associated working chamber, and connectable through the medium of a respective outlet opening provided in a respec ⁇ tive working chamber wall to a common working medium outlet chamber located between said working chambers, wherein the outlet openings can be closed by a valve flap that reacts to underpressure, when an underpressure prevails in the working chamber associated with said openings.
  • This arrangement provides advantageously a pump which requires comparatively little space and which has low pressure losses and thus incurs low operating costs and is lean in specific driving medium consumption.
  • Fig. 1 is a sectional view of an inventive double-acting pump
  • Figs. 2 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the flap valve arrangement.
  • the double-acting pump illustrated in Fig. 1 is a so-called diaphragm pump having a generally cylindrical pump housing 1 which includes cavities or hollows defined by end walls 2 and inner walls 3. Each cavity in turn is divided into a working chamber 5 and an operating chamber 6 by means of respective partition walls or diaphragm units 4, wherein the working chambers 5 are located close together and the operating chambers 6 are located outwardly of associated diaphragm units 4.
  • the working chambers 5 are provided with valve-controlled inlets and outlets for pump-transported liquid working medium.
  • these inlets and outlets have the form of openings 7, 8 in the inner walls 3 of the working chambers, and pressure-con ⁇ trolled flap valves 9 which coact with said openings.
  • flap valves and the novel positioning of the valve- controlled inlets and outlets directly in adjacent chamber walls 3 results in minimum deflection of the pumped working medium as it passes through the pump, and in minimum pressure losses, therewith making this valve arrangement highly favourable.
  • the working medium arrives at the pump in the direction shown by an arrow, through a pipe or conduit 10 which opens into a space 11 located between the walls 3, and exits into a diametrically opposed space 12, also located between the walls 3, and leaves the pump through an outlet pipe 13, as indicated by an upper arrow.
  • Each of the diaphragm units 4 is comprised of a round, relatively rigid central part 14 and a peripheral part 15 which is made of a relatively soft, pliable material and which is connected to the pump housing 1 at its radially outer edge.
  • the diaphragm units 4 are mutually connected by means of a device 16 which transmits the movements of one diaphragm unit 4 to the other, and vice versa.
  • This device 16 is generally rod-shaped and is journalled for movement in the direction of its longitudinal axis in a bearing 17 mounted centrally in the pump housing 1.
  • the movement transmitting device 16 is resilient in its movement transmit ⁇ ting direction, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the operating chambers 6 are provided at 18 with openings which function as driving medium inlets and outlets and which are connected to a pressurized driving-medium supply net 20 through the medium of a bistable two-position four-way valve 19.
  • the valve 19 is moved to one or the other of its two positions by two mono-stable two-position two-way valves 21 which receive re-setting pulses from manoeuvering pins 23 on the diaphragm units 4 against the action of the return springs 22, as said diaphragm units reach their respective outer limit or turning positions.
  • the movement transmis ⁇ sion device 16 journalled in the bearing 17 is comprised of two mutually telescopic parts 24, 25, each of which is connected to or is in abutment with its respective diaphragm unit 4 and which coact with a pressure spring 26 acting between said units and having the form of a coil spring in the illustrated case.
  • the left diaphragm-unit 4 is located just short of its turning point at the end of its suction movement.
  • the liquid working medium is sucked from the space 11 through the inlet 7 with the check valve 9 open, and into the left working chamber 5 whose check valve 9 in the outlet 8 is held closed by the pressure exerted by the liquid portion that is forced from the right working chamber 5 into the space 12 by the right diaphragm unit 4, said right diaphragm unit 4 being located near to the end of its pressure stroke.
  • the right operating chamber 6 is connected to the driving medium supply net via the valve 19, and the left operating chamber 6 is evacuated via the same valve.
  • the operating pin 23 on the left diaphragm unit actuates an associated control valve 21, such as to switch the valve to its unstable position while compressing the valve return spring 22, wherewith the valve allows driving medium to flow through and reset the valve 19 to its other, stable position.
  • the pressure in the left operating chamber 6 will therewith rise almost immediately, said chamber having a small volume in this functional stage.
  • the pressure in the right operating chamber 6 does not fall as quickly and the movement transmission device 16 would prevent movement of the left diaphragm unit 4 until the pressure in the right operating chamber had fallen if said device were not compressible.
  • the left diaphragm unit 4 is movable independently of the right diaphragm unit during compression of the spring 26 and forced expulsion of working medium from the left working chamber 5.
  • the spring 26 will expand during continued movement of the diaphragm units 4 and the movement transmission device 16.
  • the spring 26 therewith greatly reduces pulsation of the working medium flow on the pressure side of the pump and also the consumption of driving medium, since essentially no pressure energy is consumed in assisting in pressing the driving medium from the right operating chamber 6.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates an advantageous alternative embodiment of the inventive flap valve arrangement.
  • the chamber walls 3 are essentially conical, such their radially inner parts meet at the bearing 17.
  • the openings 7 through which working medium is introduced into an associated chamber 5 are each fitted with a flap valve 9.
  • the openings 8, on the other hand, have a common valve flap 9 which can be swung between positions in which it closes one or the other of said openings 8 according to the pressure differences prevailing in respective chambers 5 and 12.
  • the arrangement illustrated in Figure 2 further simplifies the construction of the pump and provides a pump in which pressure losses are relatively small in operation.

Abstract

Une pompe à double effet comporte deux cavités, chacune d'elles étant divisée en une chambre de commande (6) et une chambre de travail (5) grâce à une paroi de séparation amovible (4). Les chambres de travail sont placées tout près les unes des autres, et chacune d'elle est pourvue d'une admission et d'une évacuation (7, 9; 8, 9) commandées par un clapet, permettant au milieu de travail liquide acheminé par la pompe de s'écouler. Un dispositif (16) transmettant un mouvement d'un paroi de séparation à l'autre s'étend entre les parois de séparation amovibles (4). Chacune des chambres de travail (5) est raccordée à une chambre d'admission commune (11) du milieu de travail, cette chambre commune étant située entre les chambres (5), par l'intermédiaire d'une soupape à clapet (7, 9), montée dans une paroi (3) de la chambre de travail respective, et s'ouvrant en réponse à une dépression dans une chambre de travail associée, et pouvant être raccordée, par un orifice (8) d'évacuation respectif ménagé dans une paroi (3) de la chambre de travail respective, à une chambre d'évacuation commune (12) du milieu de travail, située entre les chambres (5). Les orifices (8) d'évacuation peuvent être fermés par un clapet (9) de soupape qui réagit à la dépression lorsqu'une dépression règne dans la chambre de travail associée à ces orifices (8).
