Description

With the pump life-span for improving and the membrane pump of efficiency
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to membrane pump, and relate more particularly to improved cam/bearing assembly for membrane pump, change Wobble-plate/the bearing assembly and improved valve module for entering.
Background technology
Reciprocating pump using one or more oscillating pistons, plunger or film (barrier film) to make fluid move through check-valves The motion of fluid is limited to those pumps in required direction.One type of reciprocating pump is membrane pump.Membrane pump is to use Barrier film, such as diaphragm of rubber, for drive in barrier film formed a series of pistons wobble-plate, in the piston for housing barrier film On the valve chest of structure formed a series of rooms and be attached to valve chest for most at last fluid from inlet pump to outlet Suitable non-return check-valves reciprocating action combination positive-displacement pump.
Membrane pump is generally used for the fluid of relatively small amount, and such as water moves to another position from a position.For example, barrier film Pump can be used for Jiang Shui and move to or remove recreation vehicle of property etc..For business application, the typical flow of membrane pump is up to often 10 gallons (GPM) of minute, but the membrane pump with negotiability higher can also be used for commercial Application.
Membrane pump is typically what is driven by the motor including drive shaft, air motor or electro-motor.It is put into drive shaft The in rotary moving of drive shaft is converted into a series of pistons by cam and ball bearing assembly and wobble-plate between by wobble-plate Push-and-pull campaign.Wobble-plate is mechanically linked to barrier film.The nutating action of barrier film and wobble-plate plays a role to activate each work Plug makes to be pushed into and pull out each room with by fluid in its each room in subsequently entering a series of rooms limited on valve plate.
Membrane pump is typically single-acting, and fluid is pulled to valve plate by it on a direction of piston movement from inlet In one room, and fluid is emitted into downstream chamber from the room on another direction of piston movement.More specifically, working as valve plate The volume of room (removed from the room when piston or when being removed from the room) when increasing, pressure reduction in the chamber and fluid from Inlet with the entrance communication of pump is drawn in the room.When the pressure of the room then increases because of volume reduction (piston is moved in the room or rushes the room and moves down), the fluid being inhaled into before in the room be forced to flow out the room and entrance with In the downstream chamber of the outlet communication of pump.
Finally, move up and remove the barrier film of the room and draw fluid into the room again, complete one cycle.
For example, describing the reality of membrane pump in U.S. Patent number 5791882,6048183,6623245 and 6840745 Example, all these patents are incorporated herein in entirety by reference.
As discussed above, wobble-plate is operably attached to the drive of the rotation of motor through cam/bearing assembly Moving axis.More particularly, cam is attached to the drive shaft on the inner surface of cam, so that cam revolves not with respect to axle Then be to rotate together with the axis.Cam also include outer ring surface, its inner ring for being attached to ball bearing so that cam not Rotated relative to the inner ring of ball bearing.Wobble-plate is attached to the outer ring of ball bearing so that wobble-plate around cam/ Bearing assembly, and wobble-plate rotates not with respect to the outer ring of ball bearing.
During the operation of pump, particularly during continuous start, because of the internal friction in bearing and from motor Radiant heat and produce heat.Due to formation cam, bearing and in wobble-plate, the material of each has different expansion rates, therefore Produced heat can make the connection between cam and bearing and between wobble-plate and bearing fluff.When connection fluffs, flowing Performance impairment, so that can be by the 50% reduction flow more than its ability.Generated after connection fluffs because more caused by friction Heat, its acceleration declines and ultimately results in bearing and breaks down.
