Description
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
