Definitions
- the present invention relates to a double-acting membrane pump according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a double-acting membrane pump of this type is disclosed in both European Application 0 386 610 and US Patent 4 818 191.
- Pumps of this type are used, inter alia, for filling packs and other containers of all manner of types.
- One application is the filling of paint cans.
- the pump disclosed in the general prior art is provided with a control device which, like the pump, operates pneumatically.
- This control device comprises a pneumatic reciprocating piston which alternately brings the plenum chamber behind the first membrane and the plenum chamber behind the second membrane under pressure. Change-over from the one position to the other position of the control piston is determined by the relevant membranes coupled to one another reaching the extreme position.
- the reciprocating piston of the device moves to and fro with a specific frequency, which is dependent on the medium pumped and, to a lesser extent, on the pressure of the compressed air.
- This frequency cannot be influenced during the filling cycle.
- changing the air pressure supplied gives rise to the risk that the pump comes to a standstill.
- This too is a disadvantage because, when filling containers to a specific fill weight or volume, in the first instance material can be supplied at high speed whereas at a later stage it is necessary to work at a lower speed. This can be avoided by incorporating an air speed control upstream. With this arrangement the pump still has to execute complete strokes, which leads to the said poor meterability.
- a solution to this problem has been found by the provision of a valve or shut-off device which has various passages. That is to say, a pre-setting of the valve is achieved, by which means the metering accuracy can be set.
- WO 92/19867A discloses a membrane pump, comprising two halves which are not connected to each other, i.e. this pump is not double-acting.
- FR 2518660 A shows a double-acting membrane pump being controlled by a control valve having two discrete positions.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a metering system with which it is possible to meter highly fluctuating amounts of fluid without this resulting in an excessive rise in the cost price of the double-acting membrane pump and the control thereof.
- the insight on which the invention is based is not to allow the one stroke of the one membrane to follow directly on the preceding stroke of the other membrane.
- a controllable pause can be inserted using the valve according to the invention. As a result, it is also possible to allow only one membrane to carry out work.
- a control of this type can be achieved relatively simply using the microprocessors currently available.
- a three-position valve which can be set to a fixed position in each of the three positions.
- the first position is then, for example, the control for the one membrane, the second position the control for the second membrane and the third position a position in which the pressure on both membranes is relieved.
- the "flow" can be controlled by varying the frequency.
- the membrane pump according to the invention is, moreover, of double-acting construction, a continuous, non-pulsating, output flow of fluid can be obtained, the volume of which can be accurately controlled.
- a container can, for example, be filled accurately on the basis of weight or fill height.
- This control valves preferably have a throttle function.
- the control valves can be of rapidly pulsing design. By, for example, actuating a membrane for a specific time, such a membrane executes a stroke to one side. If the relevant air pulse is sufficiently large, the membrane will execute the complete stroke. In the case of a smaller air pulse, the membrane will execute a short stroke. It is possible to reverse the direction of movement without the end position having to be reached.
- the delivery of the pump can be controlled by controlling the duration of the air pulses and the time at which these are applied. With short air pulses, the membranes of the pump will execute only short strokes, as a result of which a low flow can be realised. As a result of the double character of the pump, a pulsing action of this type is not reflected in the metered amount of fluid.
- the pump shown in the single figure is indicated in its entirety by 1. This pump is controlled by a controller indicated in its entirety by 2.
- Pump 1 consists of a first pump chamber 3 and a second pump chamber 4. These chambers are separated by, respectively, a first membrane 5 and a second membrane 6 from a first plenum chamber 11 and a second plenum chamber 12. The membranes are connected to one another via a coupling rod 13. Plenum chambers 11 and 12 are provided with openings 7. In this way plenum chamber 11 is connected to line 14 and plenum chamber 12 to line 15. Line 14 is connected to the first control valve 8, whilst line 15 is connected to second control valve 9. These lines are supplied with air via a line 16. Valves 8 and 9 are controlled by a microprocessor 17. The latter is provided with an input 18 which can be connected to a further microprocessor, which, for example, can be controlled by a weighing unit.
- the common inlet of the membrane pump is indicated by 19 and the common outlet by 20. Ball valves 21 are present.
- a membrane pump of this type is generally known in the prior art.
- the pumps are marketed by Wilden, model M.025 and model M1.
- the apparatus described above functions as follows.
- microprocessor 17 controls control valves 8 and 9 in a pulsing manner with a specific frequency.
- a long pulse is emitted so that the membrane will travel over a relatively long path before the function of the valves 8 and 9 is reversed so that the working direction of the membranes is reversed.
- a short pulse is given, the stroke of the membrane concerned will likewise be shorter.
- throttle device 10 can be (partially) replaced.
- control valve 8 opens for 250 milliseconds.
- Valve 9 then opens for 250 milliseconds, whilst air bleeds from valve 8, etc.
- valve 8 opens for 125 milliseconds and is vented for 125 milliseconds without valve 9 being actuated (pause), after which valve 9 is opened for 125 milliseconds and is then vented, etc.
- valve 8 opens for 50 milliseconds and is vented for 200 milliseconds without valve 9 being actuated (pause), after which valve 9 is opened in the same way.
