Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rohrweiche für Zweizylinder-Dickstoffpumpen mit einem vor einer zylinderseitigen, mit zwei Öffnungen versehenen Verschleißplatte verschwenkbaren Schwenkrohr, mit einem auf dem zylinderseitigen Ende des Schwenkrohrs begrenzt axial verschiebbaren, unter der Einwirkung des im Schwenkrohr herrschenden hydrostatischen Innendrucks im Randbereich der Öffnungen gegen die Verschleißplatte anpreßbaren Verschleißring, der eine auf einer achsparallelen Zentrierfläche des Schwenkrohrs geführte Zentrierpartie sowie eine mit einer zylinderseitigen Stirnfläche gegen die Verschleißplatte anliegende Dichtpartie aufweist, wobei das Schwenkrohr und die Dichtpartie einander zugewandte, durch einen zum Rohrinneren offenen Ringraum axial voneinander getrennte Ringflächen aufweisen, und mit einer zumindest teilweise aus kautschukelastischem Material bestehenden, den Ringraum axial überbrückenden, mit ihren Stirnflächen gegen je eine der Ringflächen vorzugsweise unter Vorspannung anliegenden Ringanordnung.The invention relates to a pipe switch for two-cylinder thick matter pumps with one in front of a cylinder side, with two openings provided wear plate swiveling Swivel tube, with one on the cylinder end of the swivel tube limited axially displaceable, under the Influence of the hydrostatic in the swivel tube Internal pressure in the edge area of the openings against the Wear plate pressing ring, the one on an axially parallel centering surface of the swivel tube Centering section and one with a cylinder side Face against the wear plate Has sealing section, the pivot tube and the Sealing section facing each other, through one to the inside of the pipe open annulus axially separated annular surfaces have, and with at least partially rubber-elastic material existing, the annulus axially bridging, with their end faces against one each the ring surfaces preferably bear under prestress Ring assembly.

Rohrweichen dieser Art, die einen selbsttätig hydrostatisch nachstellenden Verschleißring tragen, sind bekannt (DE-A 26 14 895, EP-B 0 656 995 und EP-A-0 052 192). In dem Ringraum befindet sich ein kautschukelastischer Ring, der zur Abdichtung des sich zwischen der Zentrierpartie und der Zentrierfläche bildenden Spalts bestimmt ist und dem zusätzlich eine Federfunktion beim Anpressen der Dichtpartie des Verschleißrings gegen die Verschleißplatte zukommt. In der Praxis hat es sich gezeigt, daß sich beim Betrieb im Bereich der in der Radialebene ausgerichteten Ringflächen Zementablagerungen bilden, die trotz eines Materialabtrags im Bereich der Dichtpartie und der Verschleißplatte zu einer unkontrollierten Verengung des Ringraums und zu einem Verschleiß des kautschukelastischen Rings führen können, mit dem Ergebnis, daß der kautschukelastische Ring nach dem Rohrinneren gedrückt werden und verloren gehen kann.Pipe switches of this type, which automatically hydrostatically wear adjusting ring are known (DE-A 26 14 895, EP-B 0 656 995 and EP-A-0 052 192). Located in the annulus a rubber elastic ring that is used for sealing between the centering section and the centering surface forming gap is determined and in addition a spring function when pressing the sealing section of the wear ring against the wear plate. In practice it has been shown that during operation in the area of the ring surfaces aligned in the radial plane Form cement deposits, despite a material removal in the area of the sealing section and the wear plate to an uncontrolled narrowing of the annulus and wear of the rubber elastic ring can result, with the result that the rubber elastic Ring pressed after the tube inside and lost can go.

Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, die bekannte Rohrweiche der eingangs angegebenen Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß das kautschukelastische Material der Ringanordnung keinem übermäßigen Verschleiß ausgesetzt ist.Proceeding from this, the invention is based on the object the known pipe switch of the type specified to improve in that the rubber elastic Ring assembly material no excessive wear is exposed.

Um dies zu erreichen, wird gemäß einer ersten Erfindungsalternative vorgeschlagen, daß die Ringanordnung zumindest auf ihrer der Zentrierpartie des Verschleißrings zugewandten Stirnfläche eine axiale Ringauflage aus gegenüber dem kautschukelastischen Material steiferem, verschleißhemmendem Material aufweist. Vorteilhafterweise besteht die Ringauflage aus Metall, aus einem Metalloder Textilgewebe, aus Kunststoff oder aus Hartgummi. Die Ringauflage kann auf das kautschukelastische Material aufgeklebt oder aufvulkanisiert sein.The solution according to the invention is based on the idea that the rubber-elastic material with suitable measures protected from the wear and tear of the cement becomes. To achieve this, according to a first alternative of the invention suggested that the ring assembly at least on the centering part of the wear ring facing end face from an axial ring support stiffer than the rubber-elastic material, has wear-resistant material. advantageously, the ring support consists of metal, a metal or Textile fabric, made of plastic or hard rubber. The Ring overlay can be on the rubber elastic material be glued or vulcanized.

Der Dichtring hat dabei die Aufgabe, einen Materialdurchtritt durch den Zentrierspalt hindurch zu verhindern, und dadurch die Zementablagerungen an der dem Zentrierspalt zugewandten Ringfläche zu minimieren. Der Dichtring weist gegenüber der Ringstufe zweckmäßig Übermaß auf, das so zu dimensionieren ist, daß der Dichtring unter der Vorspannung der Ringanordnung in die Ringstufe eingedrückt wird. Der Dichtring kann dabei entweder einen rechteckigen, insbesondere quadratischen Querschnitt oder einen runden oder ovalen Querschnitt aufweisen. Da er innerhalb der Ringstufe vollständig eingekammert ist, kann hierfür ein weichelastisches Material ohne Aussteifung verwendet werden. Die Ringanordnung kann in diesem Falle aus einem einstückigen elastomeren Ring mit einer aussteifenden Einlage, beispielsweise einem Metallring bestehen. According to a further alternative or advantageous embodiment The invention proposes that the Centering adjacent ring surface in a known per se Wise one by pointing towards the centering section Indentation formed, opposite the pipe interior has undercut ring step, and that in the ring step a sealing ring separated from the ring arrangement elastomeric material is used.
