Definitions
- the invention relates to a housing structure for receiving and storing e.g. a fluid-promoting micropump that works on the principle described in WO-A 97/12147;
- a fluid-promoting micropump that works on the principle described in WO-A 97/12147;
- This document is explicitly referred to when operating this type of pump or a corresponding fluidic motor type, in particular page 1 (paragraph 2), page 5 (paragraph 4) and page 6 (last paragraph) and page 7 (first paragraph).
- An inner wheel and an outer wheel are designed to mesh with one another and are arranged; both the inner wheel and the outer wheel are rotatably arranged in a sleeve, cf. there Figures 1, 1a, 2 and 2a and Figures 3a, 3b and 3c.
- the inner wheel is coupled in a rotationally rigid manner to a shaft (there 50).
- the axis of the outer wheel and the sleeve is offset with respect to the axis of this shaft, so that there is an eccentric rolling of the inner wheel with its outwardly facing teeth on the inward-facing gentle, in particular cycloidal, tooth structure of the outer wheel and according to the number of teeth dimensioned form axial sealing lines, each defining a delivery chamber in pairs.
- these delivery chambers expand in the direction of rotation on the suction side, take up fluid there and deliver it via an imaginary central plane running through the axis to the pressure side, on which the delivery chamber that has just passed steadily decreases in the course of further rotation until it practically becomes zero and is guided back to the suction side on the opposite side of the central plane.
- the pump chamber begins to open again with the rotary movement, so that the cycle closes.
- the movement described for a delivery chamber applies simultaneously to all existing delivery chambers, which at the moment each have a different volume between a respective pair of sealing lines, so that when the pump is operating there is a highly uniform delivery flow with a high ability to miniaturize the entire microsystem structure .
- a sleeve is chosen as the bearing, into which sleeve insert parts (there 41, 42) are used on both end faces of the inner wheel and outer wheel, which are used for mounting the shaft and for specifying the inlet kidney and outlet kidney (specifically explained there in Figure 8 with reference to inlet kidney 41k and outlet kidney 42k).
- the inlet kidney is offset by 180 ° from the outlet kidney (mirrored), but at two opposite ends, so that there is an axial fluid flow from the inlet kidney via which is constantly in the Volume-changing delivery chambers according to the above statement on the outlet kidney results.
- such a pump can also work with a U-shaped fluid flow, in which case the inlet kidney and the outlet kidney are located on the same end face of the pump, only mirror-inverted by 180 ° (mirrored on the median plane that runs through the axis).
- a microsystem is to be inserted or inserted into a housing structure, so that it is securely and precisely stored, but at the same time there are all connection options which provide the fluid inlet, the fluid outlet and the coupling of the mechanical drive source for rotating the pump shaft (for an interior - or outer wheel pump) or the output shaft (with a fluidic motor) or the metrological side (with a fluidic sensor) for a volume flow.
- a possible housing shape for holding such a micropump is described in a data sheet "Pump head mzr ® -4600” from Hydraulik Nord Parchim Mikrosysteme GmbH.
- This pump head shows a shaft that protrudes from the front for coupling a motor.
- Five disc-shaped elements form the housing structure as cylinder elements, starting with a housing shaft seal, a compensating kidney plate and a rotor mounting plate, followed by a fluid guide and an end cover.
- the rotor holder has a thickness (or
- a bore is provided in the receiving plate, which is offset eccentrically with respect to the axis of the shaft for driving the inner wheel, so that the outer wheel of the micro-toothed ring pump is mounted off-center in the opening of the plate and the above-described mode of operation of the continuously expanding and on the opposite side results in continuously reducing delivery chambers in volume - if the shaft is driven by a rotary drive.
- DE-B 33 10 593 shows a housing structure for a pump arrangement (there, FIG. 1, reference number 22) which, together with a wobble rod, realizes an eccentrically operating gerotor.
- an outlet is provided centrally and, on the other hand, an inlet is offset radially, while intermediate plates having a plurality of channel segments (cf. FIGS. 2, 3, 4 and 5) are provided in between.
- DE-A 24 08 824 (McDermott, cf. FIG. 4) works with only three plate-shaped structures; the latter figure shows the gerotor principle in connection with a compensation of wear of the intermeshing teeth, whereby channel segments are provided in the directly adjacent area between an inner disk and the two outer bearing disks for the shaft.
- CH-A 661 323 (Weber) also deals with channel segments in a housing structure made up of several disks, which, in the manner of a modular system, assembles a gear pump from several easily assembled, replaceable and expandable components, actually describing a housing for accommodating such a pump .
- the housing structure is to be improved so that an increased flexibility of the housing structure is possible and not each of the plate-shaped elements described has to be manufactured separately for each application - as the underlying problem.
- this is achieved if at least one, but preferably two or more plate-shaped layered structure elements are arranged between the receiving plate for receiving the outer element of the microsystem and the connecting block for attaching connections for inlet and outlet (claim 1, claim 6, Claim 7, claim 20, 23 or 22), with which the fluid guidance in the layered structure elements, that is to say from the inlet to the microsystem in the receiving plate (inlet channel) and back to the outlet (outlet channel), can be improved and made more flexible.
- the at least one further plate-shaped layer structure element carries one, two or more channel segments which are either essentially radial, circumferential or axially directed. There can only be axially directed channel segments, but there can also be only substantially radially directed segments, just as a combination of the two channel segments (claim 19) makes the fluid guide freely configurable without the mounting plate needing to be changed and without the connection block can be adapted with its fluid supply got to.
- the adaptation takes place via the at least one further plate-shaped layer structure element and can therefore justify a greater flexibility of the existing standard elements for the fluid supply or the receiving plate.
- connection block for the connections of the hoses is a standard component that does not require any particular precision
- mounting plate for the rotor has to be designed as a precision part and also the plate-shaped ones adjacent to it
- Layer structure elements which are formed as one of the further plate-shaped layer structure elements and an additional plate-shaped layer structure element (claim 1, claim 8).
- the kidneys explained in detail at the beginning, the inlet kidney and outlet kidney in one plate and the compensating kidneys in the other plate being arranged in mirror image.
- the kidneys are actually circumferentially curved channel segments which can also have a uniform width and in which fluid is guided. At the same time, they are axially continuous in the "kidney plate” on one side and in the mirror-image "kidney plate” on the other side of the mounting plate for the microsystem, and they each end on the surface of the associated plate or with which this plate then covering another plate of the layer structure of the housing (claim 3).
- a channel system for supplying fluid to the microsystem and a second channel system, which is circumferentially offset relative to this in the plate-shaped layer structure element, for discharging the fluid coming from the microsystem on the outlet side (for example the pressure side of the micropump).
- Each of the channel systems leads from an installation location for the microsystem, for example the pump, located far in the center of the housing structure, both in the axial direction and in the radial direction away to the connection block for the attachment of the connections for inlet and outlet.
- the further disk preferably has both a radial and an axial channel segment in the first channel system and in the second channel system.
- the fluid control can thus be displaced strongly in the radial direction in order to enable thicker connecting lines and still a shaft in the shaft receptacle on both sides of the one receiving the microsystem Provide mounting plate.
- the shaft opening therefore extends to both sides of the mounting plate, and the shaft is supported on both sides of the microsystem.
- the micropump is to be understood as an illustrative example, in the same way the housing structure is suitable for the use of other microsystems, such as a fluidically operated micromotor, to which a fluid stream is supplied as a drive, and an output on its shaft with a speed corresponding to the fluid stream delivers.
- a fluidically operated sensor is possible as a microsystem, which is inserted into the housing structure and which measures a fluid flow, in which case the shaft does not have to be completely led out of the housing, but is only provided as a shaft stub for mounting the rotor while the sensor is being scanned Speed that corresponds to the fluid flow, can be optical, inductive or magnetic.
- the proposed housing is therefore versatile in use for practically all microsystems working with fluid throughput, of which the pump, the motor and a sensor are addressed representatively.
- the axial channel sections in the further plate-shaped layer structure element, which directly adjoins the mounting plate for the microsystem, can be specially designed (claims 5 and 16 to 19). If its length is shorter than the height (or thickness or thickness) of this layered structure element, the axially continuous kidney is coupled laterally offset if the diameter of the axial channel segment is larger than the maximum kidney width at the coupling point.
- the entire volume of the fluid that collects in the axially continuous kidney can thus be discharged easily and without flow obstacles, it being advisable to choose the flow cross section of the bore such that it essentially corresponds to the cross section of the kidney at the location of the maximum flow ( Claim 17) corresponds to which cross section in operation is penetrated by the liquid to be conveyed through the channel segments.
- the maximum volume flow (volume per time) is found on both sides (suction side / pressure side) of a pump or a motor and is not constant in the course of a circumferentially extending kidney, which is due to the way the volume of a respective delivery chamber changes during the rotary movement is due.
- this maximum volume flow is located in a clockwise rotating pump, in the first quadrant at an angle between 75 ° and 85 °, in particular approximately between 80 ° and 85 ° and correspondingly symmetrical in the second quadrant (Claim 17, 18).
- a radially oriented, elongated through-opening through the further layer structure element between the connection block and the first further layer structure element which carries the kidneys results from the combination of an axial and an essentially radial channel segment, the radial channel segment being one in the axial direction oriented depth that corresponds to the axial extent of the second (further) layer structure element (claim 20).
- This channel section results in a displacement function for the fluid flow, which leads from areas close to the axis to areas radially further outward, where two juxtaposed connections can be placed in the connection block for the inflow and outflow of the fluid without problems.
- oblique bores or channel segments which are oriented obliquely or obliquely to the axis, can be avoided in the layer elements.
- the channel segments according to the invention either run radially, circumferentially or axially, or in any combination thereof, so that each point in the housing structure can be reached, described with cylinder coordinates, composed of the respective axial channel segment, circumferential channel segment or radial channel segment required for this.
- the entire layer structure of the housing is clamped together axially, for example by centering pins and / or cheese head screws, which are inserted at an end piece, on which there is also a mounting option for the micropump accommodated in the housing.
- On the other axial side of the housing are the connections for the inflow and outflow of the fluid, they can either be directed radially or axially, depending on the design of the connection block.
- the invention enables a fluidic transition of the connection technology with relatively large dimensions to the miniaturized flow technology
- microsystem such as micropump
- - enables miniaturized production of micro tooth ring systems
- Fine stamping, etching, laser etc. can be created; enables replacement of wear parts such as bearings; - enables batch processing of several parts at the same time; enables the use of an identical semi-finished product (starting material) for all functional areas; enables the direct stacking of several rotor sets.
- a drive source such as a regulated or unregulated motor
- both the drive motor and the housing structure for the micropump have a projecting collar, which are preferably not of the same dimensions
- the collar engages in a recess which is precisely matched to the collar, the two recesses in the coupling housing being axially precisely aligned with one another. If the pump and drive motor are inserted from both axial sides of the clutch housing into the corresponding recesses with their respectively precisely fitting collars, it can be ensured that the shafts are then axially aligned and remain axially aligned via an intermediate piece. Radial misalignment of the shafts can be safely avoided in this way, the assembly is favored and accelerated.
- This coupling housing can be covered by an externally polygonal, in particular quadrangular or octagonal, sleeve, from which the motor and pump protrude on both sides at the end faces.
- This coupling can also be used for other combinations of fluidic microsystems.
- the invention thus creates clarity, provides easy-to-manufacture individual parts, simplifies production and increases flexibility and accuracy during assembly: only the necessary layer structure elements have to be precision-made, while other, uncritical layer structure elements can remain as standard components.
- the layered structure elements if they are plate-shaped, can preferably have the same thickness (the measured height in the axial direction) and can accordingly be produced from the same plate material as a semi-finished product. The same semi-finished product is used as the starting product for several layer structure elements arranged axially one behind the other, which then all have the same quality features of the starting plate (claim 12).
- the elongated axial opening is called “shaft opening", for receiving the shaft when installing a microsystem.
- the opening is elongated, it extends continuously through the receiving plate and in both axial directions of the housing structure, whereby it extends at least through the further plate-shaped layer structure, the receiving plate and the connection block or the base block, to extend "continuously".
- the two layer structure elements directly adjacent to the mounting plate (for the microsystem) with their section of the shaft opening can serve as bearings for the shaft with a slide bearing.
- an additional bearing can be provided in the base block, which can be designed as a roller or slide bearing, around the shaft in a section between the drive and the output (for pump and motor or for fluidic motor and drive ) is to support in addition.
- the shaft can be stabilized in the plain bearings, which extends the life of these bearings.
- a shaft lock can be provided that has an axial Dislocation of the shaft prevented. This shaft lock is unnecessary if the additional bearing is provided in the base block; then the shaft does not need to extend into the connection block, but can end beforehand, which applies accordingly to the shaft opening of the housing.
- extension in the axial direction, radial direction and circumferential direction are based on cylindrical coordinates, but a plate-shaped layered structure is not necessarily cylindrical in its outer shape, rather it is a polygonal, square, hexagonal or octagonal outer shape, as well as non-circular, how oval shapes circumscribed by the invention.
- the radial course is only essentially to be seen in this way.
- extension serves to facilitate understanding, but not to limit the possibility of implementing the invention.
- the terms "disc” and “plate” are used to describe a flat shape with no specific external dimension or shape, although it is advantageous to choose a cylindrical shape that conforms to the cylindrical shape of the micropump outer wheel oriented, but it is not absolutely necessary.

- FIG. 2 illustrates an assembled state of the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 1, the mounting screws 13 and centering pins 14 being laid and tightened through the layer structure and a quarter section allowing an insight into the layer structure and the microsystem MP.

- FIG. 7 illustrates in plan view and in two sectional representations from the planes AA and BB an example of an “additional” plate-shaped layer structure element 32 which is arranged on the other side of the receiving plate 30 for the micropump shown in FIG. 6, while on the one side the example of a "further" plate-shaped layer structure element 31 shown in FIG. 5 is to be arranged.
- FIG. 8 shows a further plate element 20 in top view and section, in which fluid-carrying radial and axial segments 20a, 20r are arranged.
- FIG. 9 illustrates an example of assembly of the pump via a coupling part 80 to the motor M.
- the terms of the additional layer structure element and the further (first and second further) layer structure element are used uniformly.
- the starting point and the structure structure defining the concept is the mounting plate for the microsystem as an inner plate and a connection block 11 on one side and a plate-shaped base 12 on the other side.
- Terminal block and plate-shaped base do not have to be directly plate-shaped, they can also be made longer in the axial direction individually, so that block structures on one or both sides are created.
- the microsystem which is referred to in the following as the micropump MP, has a structure, shown schematically in FIG Recess 30a mounted outer rotor A engages.
- An external gear pump can also be used, which is arranged either via a shaft or directly loosely in an appropriately designed long oval recess, in which two meshing external gears are mounted as a first and a second functional part of a fluidically operated microsystem.
- FIG. 1 shows two layer structures first picked out for explanation, the connection block 11 and the base 12, which is approximately plate-shaped. Between the two is the already mentioned mounting plate 30 with the recess 30a adapted to the microsystem, which is prepared here for an eccentric mounting of the outer rotor A with respect to the housing axis 100, which is formed by the shaft 50. Two further plate-shaped disks 20 and 31 are provided between the receiving plate 30 and the connector 11 for the fluid feeds, mostly plastic hoses 60 with corresponding fitting pieces for fixing in receiving openings 11a 1 , which also each have a central opening for receiving the shaft 50.
- two additional plate-shaped layer structure elements 32, 40 are provided, which also have a central opening for receiving the Have wave.
- the shaft protrudes on the side from the clamped housing according to FIG. 2a (the mirror image 1), on which the plate-shaped base 12 is provided, in order to flange-mount a drive there on the protruding shaft stub, which is done via the hat-shaped elevation 71 shown there according to FIG. 9 explained later, on the other side it stands not out.
- FIG. 2a The individual function carriers of FIG. 1 can be seen spanned together in FIG. 2a.
- the micropump MP can only be seen schematically, just like in FIG. 2, but the layer structure structure with the fluid guide from the tubes 60 to the microsystem can be clearly seen, which is shown schematically in a greatly enlarged sectional view in FIG. 3.
- FIG. 3 shows the same layer structure elements that have been explained in FIG. 1.
- a channel 1 runs via channel segments 11a, 20a, 20r, 31a and 41k to the micropump MP, and on the mirror-image side, not shown in FIG. 3, opposite the axis 100 from the micropump MP back to the outlet of the housing.
- the mounting base 11 serves to hold the fluid supply and to fix the hoses.
- the hoses are fixed with sleeves and tensioning elements, usually ferrules, in the cylindrical receiving bore 11a 'and sealed at the end.
- a connecting bore 11a which is much smaller in diameter, goes from the much larger diameter receiving bore to the front end of the receiving block 11.
- FIG. 3 shows this fluid flow in the diagram.
- a fluid-directing and guiding further plate-shaped layer structure component adjoins the receiving block 11 and, according to FIG. 3 and FIG. 2, has an initially axially extending channel segment 20a.
- This axial channel segment 20a merges into a radially directed channel segment 20r, in order to then run again in an axial direction, which results automatically when the radial segment is introduced directly on the end face of the further layer component 20 facing away from the inlet.
- the fluid With the axial, radial and again axial guidance, the fluid is deflected and allows the fluid to be brought closer to the shaft, where the micropump MP is used to receive the fluid in the recess 30a.
- the plate-shaped layer component 20 can also realize the axial / radial channel guidance by continuously introducing an elongated hole which takes over both the axial component and the radially directed fluid guidance. There then remains no residual web 21, which is still shown in FIG. 3, which results when the radial channel segment 20r is not as deep as the further plate segment 20 is high in the axial direction.
- This kidney 41 k and the axial bore 31 k will be explained in more detail later in FIGS. 6 and 7, where enlarged sections for the orientation, size and shape of this kidney 41 k and the axial channel segment 31 k are also shown.
- the micropump MP is rotatably received with its outer rotor A, and the fluid F reaches a plurality of delivery chambers of the meshing wheels A, 1 on the suction side via the circumferential kidney 41k.
- kidneys 42k are arranged in an additional plate 32, which are aligned with respect to the kidneys 41k described first.
- This second “kidney plate” 32 connects directly to the receiving plate 30 for the microsystem MP.
- the second kidney plate thus carries circumferentially oriented channel segments with the compensating kidneys 42k. Fluid is not removed in the axial direction in these channel segments. Rather, the fluid flow returns after shifting the delivery chambers of the micropump MP to the pressure side to the other side of the central plane of the housing structure, which is not shown in FIG. 3, but is easily imaginable as a mirror image, in order to move the fluid F from the micropump MP to the same way To lead outlet and the associated hose 60.
- the fluid in the first further layer plate 20 is displaced strongly in the radial direction, so that it is guided away from the shaft so that the connections can be fixed in the connection block 11 without spatial difficulties.
- the layer component 40 which directly adjoins the second kidney plate 32, does not carry any channels, but rather serves to support the shaft with a shaft seal 53, which can be seen in FIG. 1.
- the second additional plate 40 is followed by the already described mounting block 12, which can clamp the entire housing in the axial direction, as well as mounting options according to FIG. 2 in the form of a cylindrical Bundes 71 offers to flange a motor to a pump and, in reverse operation with a fluidic micromotor in the housing structure, can also drive a corresponding pump on the other side.
- the bearing of the shaft is also clear from Figures 1, 2 and 2a.
- the torsionally rigid locking results from a pin 53 which engages in a corresponding recess in the inner rotor 1 during assembly.
- the shaft 50 is guided for precise alignment in two central recesses in the plates 31 and 32, which are directly adjacent to the receiving plate 30.
- the further and additional plates outside of these plate elements arranged near the plate 30 and taking over the bearing function show a greater play with regard to the opening for the shaft.
- An axial shaft lock 51 can be provided in the connection block 11, which prevents the shaft 50 from moving axially.
- a shaft seal 52 is provided, which seals the inside of the pump from the environment and enables a hydraulic balance for the shaft.
- the shaft does not experience any axially directed forces and is in hydrostatic equilibrium. If an additional bearing is provided in the base block, the shaft lock 51 can be omitted and the shaft can also engage in the connection block.
- the inner layered mounting plates 31, 30 and 32 are precision-made, they have high surface quality and high accuracy, which applies to both the shaft bearing 50 and the rotor bearing A.
- the plates of the layer structure lying further out need not have the high precision that the inner elements have. Rather, they can be used as standard components and can be made from less high-quality semi-finished products.
- Two different semi-finished products are preferably used to manufacture the plate-shaped layer structures of FIG. 1; such higher quality in terms of surface quality, planarity and flatness for the precision plates and those with just sufficient surface quality for the other plate-shaped elements of the whole
- FIG. 4 illustrates with the same reference numerals the elements explained in FIG. 1 in an axial section AA and an axial section BB offset by 90 °, as well as a view from the axial side from which the shaft 50 protrudes.
- the pins 14 keep the structure centered and aligned with each other. Bores for cheese head screws 13 are provided at an angle of 90 ° in each case, for clamping the layer arrangement aligned with the pins 14.
- both channel systems 1, 2 provided circumferentially offset in the layer structure elements can be seen. They do not have to be symmetrical with respect to the axis, but according to the supervision in FIG. 4 they can be rotated by 180 ° with respect to one another.
- the radial extent of the microsystem is only slight, and the shift from the fluid generator or fluid consumer or fluid sensor located near the axis 50, depending on the type of application, to the connection block takes over the further plate 20 with the essentially radially outwardly channel segments, which are not themselves has the kidneys for the inlet and outlet flow of the microsystem, but only serves to guide and redirect the fluid, in particular in the radial direction.
- the radial fluid deflection with the channel segment 20r can be seen both in a top view (on the dashed lines) and in the sectional view BB. It lies between an axial piece 20a, which directly adjoins the channel extension 11a, which has a small diameter and starts from the receptacle 11a '.
- the radial channel segment 20r opens into the next layer plate 31 in an axial bore which is offset with respect to the kidney which then follows, which will be explained with reference to FIG. 5.
- connection block 11 has a central depression. All plates are each sealed with O-rings 55 with respect to the next following plate, for which purpose an annular groove is provided on the end face of at least one of the plates lying against one another.
- the illustration in FIG. 5 shows both a top view and two sectional views AA and BB. 5a shows enlarged sections of the center area of FIG. 5a and a section along ZZ in FIG. 5b.
- FIG. 5 explains the first kidney plate 31, which is arranged between the first further plate 20 and the receiving plate 30 used for orientation as the center of the explanation.
- the "further" plate 31 lies directly on the receiving plate 30 for the microsystem.
- 5a, 5b show the position, orientation and size of the kidneys 41k, 41k 'and the axial inflow bores 31k, 31k' which open at a predetermined point along the circumferential extension of the kidneys in the radial direction.
- FIG. 5 shows the two kidneys 41 k, 41k ', which are mirror-symmetrical with respect to the central plane B-B and extend somewhat less than 180 °. They are located in the first and second quadrants (oriented counterclockwise)
- Inflow bore 31k and the bore 31k ' which provides the outflow after the U-shaped deflection through the microsystem - which is not shown here.
- FIG. 5b shows that the central recess serves to receive the shaft 50.
- the kidneys are designed so deep in the axial direction that they penetrate the entire plate 31, that is to say form axial channels, and at the same time they form circumferentially oriented channels.
- the cross section for inflow and outflow is further increased by arranging an additional bore 31k, 31k 'with a larger diameter than the kidney has at the radial width at the point at which the bore cuts it.
- the two driving beams C and C each show the angular orientation with respect to the central plane B-B; it is in the range between 75 ° and 85 ° in the first and second quadrants.
- the areas of the greatest volume flow during the operation of the microsystem are located at the described coupling areas to the kidneys, both with inflow and outflow, which results from the type of enlargement and reduction of the volume chambers during rotation.
- the axial bores which additionally enlarge the outflow cross section and inflow cross section, which do not run entirely through the plate 31, but are provided as attached blind holes.
- the blind hole 31k or 31k ' is first made and then the shape of the kidney 41k, 41k' is added using an erosion process, so that the combinatorial axially expanded inflow path with the circumferentially oriented kidney volume results.
- Figure 5b shows this orientation clearly, along the section ZZ, which is shown in Figure 5a.
- FIG. 7 An additional plate 32, which is arranged on the other side of the receiving plate 30 shown in FIG. 6 with an eccentric opening 30a, is shown in FIG. 7.
- the axes AA and BB are still closed by 90 ° twist so that the kidneys lie directly one above the other.
- These compensating kidneys are located directly opposite the inflow and outflow kidneys 41k and 41k '. They have the same shape, the same circumferential extension and also go completely axially through the additional plate 32, with which they form both an axial channel segment and a circumferential channel segment. However, the axial channel segment ends on the surface of the additional plate 32.
- the first further plate 20, which was already explained in detail with reference to FIG. 4, is shown in FIG. 8 in a top view and in a sectional view A-A for additional illustration.
- the sectional view illustrates the
- Each of the fluid-directing composite channel segments is composed of at least one axial segment 20a and one radial segment 20r.
- the radial segments can still be slightly inclined in the circumferential direction, as can be seen from the top view.
- the radial segments can be completely milled out or elongated openings produced by wire erosion, which then realize both an axial inflow 20a and a radial fluid deflection following the elongated hole.
- housing structure G to which connections 60, 61 lead.
- the shaft 50 protrudes in the direction of a motor M to be flanged, which in turn has a shaft journal 59.
- the coupling of these two shaft journals, without radial offset and axially exactly aligned, runs via a coupling piece 80, which has a precisely predefined bore 81, 82 on both end faces, which is usually precision-machined as a round opening.
- a respective collar 71, 72 is arranged on the front side of the housing G for the microsystem and on the front side of the motor M so that they fit exactly into the bores 81, 82.
- the cylindrical Openings 81, 82 are precisely aligned with one another, and if the two functional elements M, G are inserted into these openings, the axes 59, 50 are aligned. Before insertion, a shaft connector 58 is attached, which is initially loosely plugged onto the shaft end 50 in order to then be pushed together with the latter into the receptacle 81 until the collar 71 on
- Housing structure G comes to lie snugly in the receptacle 81.
- the motor M is plugged on from the other side, in which the collar 72 is fitted into the opening 82 in the same way.
- the shafts 50 and 59 are each fixed to the shaft connector 58, so that the drive connection is aligned in a central position, without radial offset.
- An additional cover H can be pushed over the coupling piece 80 as a sleeve with a possibly chamfered polygonal outer structure, so that a structure is obtained which has a connector that appears polygonally to the outside, a first functional element G on the left and a second functional element M on the right .
- Motor M and pump housing G can also be interchanged, just as two housing structures G can be flanged together, one accommodating a fluid motor and the other a fluid pump. Cascading is possible.
- housing structure G is provided with an outer surface that appears cylindrical.
- a polygonal outer surface is also possible here
- Axial direction has substantially evenly extending side surfaces in order to have no steps directed in the axial direction.
- the cylindrical bores 81, 82 explained in FIG. 9 can have a different diameter, adapted to the respective collars 72, 71 of the functional parts G, M intended for them.
- the coupling piece 80 has a hollow passage between the end faces, which is additionally accessible laterally through two recesses 83, 84 which run in a secant and mirror-image fashion.
- the plate-shaped layer structure in FIG. 2 not only shows plates of the same thickness (the same thickness), but it would be advantageous to produce all plates from the same layer thickness. It can be seen schematically in FIG. 3 that the channel which runs through these plates of essentially the same thickness has essentially the same cross-section along its extent in order to avoid dead volumes.
