Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a pump. In particular the present invention relates to a membrane pump.
- The present invention can be advantageously used in the agricultural and/or gardening sector.
- Membrane pumps consisting of a plurality of chambers intended to pump a fluid are known.
- The arrangement of the chambers may vary depending on the type of pump employed and may have a circumferential, radial or in-line layout. Each pump has a number of pumping chambers which may vary from at least one to a plurality of chambers, each having a movable deformable membrane.
- The said deformable membrane is movable between a first operative position where the same, reaching a top dead centre, favours delivery of a fluid, and a second operative position where the same, reaching a bottom dead centre, favours intake of a fluid.
- The chamber therefore has a variable volume. Each chamber has an inlet opening, which forms the intake mouth, and an outlet opening, which forms the delivery mouth. Both the intake mouth and the delivery mouth are provided with a respective one-way valve.
- Each movable membrane is connected to suitable movement means.
- In an applicational example, these movement means consist of a driving shaft arranged along a central axis of the pump.
- A cam is situated in the vicinity of a central portion of the shaft and has a connecting rod connected thereto. The connecting rod is connected to a piston by means of a pin. The movement means impart an alternating linear movement to the membrane.
- This membrane may be connected directly to the piston or may be connected to a first disk situated between the membrane and the piston. Advantageously the pump also comprises a second disk connected to the membrane and lying entirely inside the chamber, thus defining a movable wall. The second disk facilitates recall of the membrane when the same reaches the bottom dead centre.
- The pumps of the known type also comprise a main containing body for enclosing the movement means. This containing body defines an inner chamber. The movement means are housed inside the inner chamber in a lubricating bath in order to ensure the necessary lubrication of the said means.
- During operation, the piston displaces the membrane from the top dead centre, further away from the inner chamber, to the bottom dead centre, closer to the inner chamber.
- In this way, the volume of the chamber increases and a vacuum is created inside the chamber itself. A fluid then enters from the intake mouth into the chamber through the one-way intake valve.
- When the piston displaces the membrane from the bottom dead centre, closer to the inner chamber, to the top dead centre, further away from the inner chamber, the volume of the chamber decreases and the fluid is forced out from the delivery mouth through the associated one-way valve.
- In this structural configuration the membrane, being subject to a continuous compression and expansion cycle, may break as a result of wear.
- Since the membrane is the sole separating part between, the lubricant, contained in the inner chamber, and the pumped fluid, contained in the main chamber, the breakage thereof results in mixing of the lubricant and the pumped fluid, causing serious damage to the entire pump and subsequently producing the complete break-down thereof.
- In fact, when the lubricant contained in the inner chamber flows out, following tearing of the membrane, lubrication of the movement means is limited considerably, causing serious damage to the said means.
- Mixing of the lubricant with the pumped fluid also causes contamination of the latter, resulting in a significant wastage of fluid.
- Finally, since the pumping fluids may contain plant protection products or other herbicidal/pesticidal agents, breakage of the membrane results in the concentrated dispersion in the environment of the pumped liquid, causing serious environmental pollution.
- In this context, the technical object of the present invention is to propose a pump which does not possess the disadvantages of the pumps of the prior art.
- In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a pump in which, following breakage of the membrane, there is no mixing between the lubricating substance and the pumped fluid.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a pump in which, following breakage of the membrane, the wastage of fluid and at the same time the dispersion thereof is significantly reduced.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a pump which ensures a constant lubricating efficiency even following breakage of the membrane.
- These objects, together with others, which will emerge more clearly during the course of the following description, are substantially achieved by a pump according to one or more of the accompanying claims.
- Further characteristic features and advantages will appear more clearly from the detailed description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of a pump according to the present invention.
- This description will be provided hereinbelow with reference to the accompanying drawings which are provided solely by way of a non-limiting example and in which:
-
Figure 1 shows a cross-section through a pump according to the present invention; -
Figure 2 shows a cross-section through a detail of the pump according toFigure 1 . - With reference to the said
figure, 1 denotes overall a pump according to the present invention. - The pump 1 comprises a containing
body 2 and aclosing flange 3 which define aninner chamber 4 containing a lubricant. - The pump 1 also comprises at least one
main chamber 5, in communication with theinner chamber 4. - In general, the pump 1 comprises a variable number of
main chambers 5. The latter may be arranged in circular fashion, linearly or in other arrangements. In the embodiment described here, themain chambers 5 are arranged in circular fashion around a central axis "X" of the pump 1 and are spaced equidistantly from each other. - Each
main chamber 5 comprises anintake mouth 6 provided with an associated one-way valve 7 and adelivery mouth 8 provided with an associated one-way valve 9. The fluid which must be pumped flows between theintake mouth 6 and thedelivery mouth 8. - The
main chamber 5 also comprises aflexible membrane 10 which isolates theinner chamber 4 and themain chamber 5 itself from each other. Moreover, themembrane 10 is deformable and movable between a top dead centre and a bottom dead centre. In other words, themembrane 10 is movable between a first operative position further away from theinner chamber 4 and a second operative position closer to theinner chamber 4. - Each
main chamber 5 is delimited at the bottom by themembrane 10 and at the top by a head-piece 11 connected to the containingbody 2. By way of example, eachmain chamber 5 has a semispherical shape and themembrane 10 is fixed between themain body 2 and the head-piece 11. In the example shown here, themembrane 10 has a circular shape. - The
main chamber 5 has a variable volume. When themembrane 10 is displaced from the first operative position into the second operative position, a vacuum is created inside themain chamber 5 and draws the fluid inside the pump 1. When themembrane 10 is displaced from the second operative position into the first operative position, an overpressure is created inside themain chamber 5 and pushes the fluid outside the pump 1. - The pump 1 also comprises movement means 12 which are operationally connected to the
membrane 10 and cause displacement of themembrane 10 movable between the first and second operative position. In greater detail, the movement means 12 are connected to amovable wall 13 associated with themembrane 10. - The
movable wall 13 comprises afirst disk 14 arranged concentrically with themembrane 10 and situated on the opposite side to themain chamber 5. Themovable wall 13 also comprises asecond disk 15 arranged concentrically with themembrane 10 and thefirst disk 14 and contained entirely inside themain chamber 5. In other words, themembrane 10 is arranged between thefirst disk 14 and thesecond disk 15. - In the embodiment described, the movement means 12 comprises a
shaft 16 which is associated with a motor (not shown) and which extends along the central axis "X" and apiston 17 associated with themembrane 10. - The
driving shaft 16 is supported on the containingbody 2 and on theclosing flange 3 by means offirst ball bearings 18. By way of completion of the preferred embodiment of the said movement means 12 a connectingrod 19 is provided, being connected, respectively, to thepiston 17, by means of apin 20, and to acam 21, by means ofsecond ball bearings 22. - The
movable wall 13 is fixed to thepiston 17 by means of ascrew 23. - The pump 1 also comprises sealing means 24 which define at least one
cavity 25 in association with themembrane 10. In other words, thecavity 25 is defined by themembrane 10 as well as by the said sealing means 24. Therefore, the pump 1 comprises at least onecavity 25 associated with eachmain chamber 5. - The sealing means 24 have the function of isolating the
cavity 25 from theinner chamber 4. In this way it is not possible for the pumped fluid to mix with the lubricant in the event of breakage of themembrane 10. - The sealing means 24 are defined by a
seal 26 which is arranged between the containingbody 2 and thepiston 17 and inside which thepiston 17 is seated, in order to isolate thecavity 25 and theinner chamber 4 from each other. - Moreover, the pump 1 has at least one
hole 27 which facilitates the fluid communication between thecavity 25 and the exterior of the pump 1. Thehole 27 is formed in the containingbody 2 opposite thecavity 25. In greater detail, when themembrane 10 is intact, thehole 27 allows the passage of air which is drawn in or pumped during the movement of themembrane 10. When themembrane 10 is torn, thehole 27 allows the outflow of the pumped fluid which seeps out from themain chamber 5 into thecavity 25. In this way the outflowing fluid is prevented from being able to break theseal 26, thus allowing mixing of the pumped fluid with the lubricant. - The pump 1 may also have, in the vicinity of the
cavity 25, at least onetank 28 for collecting the fluid, communicating therewith via thehole 27. In particular, the pump 1 may comprise at least onetank 28 associated with eachcavity 25. Alternatively, the pump 1 may comprise asingle tank 28 situated so as to be connected to eachcavity 25. - In the embodiment described here, the
tank 28 is formed along a side edge of the containingbody 2. In particular, thetank 28 is formed by means of suitable shaping of the containingbody 2. Thestorage tank 28 therefore has an annular shape. - The
tank 28 also comprises acover 29 which is connected directly to the containingbody 2. - The
tank 28 is also associated with asensor 30 for detecting the presence of fluid in thetank 28. - This
sensor 30 detects the presence of fluid in thetank 28. Thesensor 30 is advantageously connected to an acoustic or visual signalling system (not shown). Therefore, in the event of themembrane 10 associated with one of themain chambers 5 tearing and thetank 28 being filled with fluid, the signalling system signals the breakage of themembrane 10 which has occurred. - Moreover the
storage tank 28 comprises apipe 31 which prevents the accumulation of fluid in thetank 28. Thispipe 31 is formed in the vicinity of abottom portion 29a of thecover 29. - The present invention achieves the objects proposed and results in significant advantages.
- First of all, the presence of the sealing means 24 prevents mixing of the pumped fluid with the lubricant contained in the
inner chamber 4. In fact, if breakage of themembrane 10 occurs, the pumped fluid which flows out of themain chamber 5 passes into thecavity 25. Theseal 26 prevents this fluid from penetrating into theinner chamber 4 and being mixed with the lubricant. - Consequently, a further advantage which is obtained is that relating to the fact that, owing to the presence of the
tank 28, any wastage of the pumped fluid is avoided, preventing moreover the latter from being dispersed into the surrounding environment, causing environmental pollution. - Moreover, the sealing means 24 and the
hole 27 ensure that the lubricant remains confined inside theinner chamber 4 and cannot flow out even following breakage of themembrane 10. In this way, the constant and efficient lubrication of the movement means 12 is ensured. - Finally, the presence of the
sensor 30 allows rapid detection of a breakage of themembrane 10. The operator may therefore take prompt action and limit generally the damage.
