Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Hauswasserwerkwie es beispielsweise aus EP 0 639 715 A1 bekannt ist.The invention is based on a domestic waterworks such as for example EP 0 639 715 A1 is known.

Das aus EP 0 639 715 A1 bekannte Hauswasserwerk umfasst eine Kreiselpumpe, die von einem elektrischen Antriebsmotor angetrieben wird, Am Antriebsmotor ist außenseitig ein Frequenzumrichter angeordnet, dessen Steuerelektrik mit einem Drucksensor elektrisch leitungsverbunden ist, der druckseitig der Pumpe in einer Abscheidekammer angeordnet ist und somit den Druck am Förderauslass der Kreiselpumpe des Hauswasserwerks erfasst. Gekühlt werden der Motor und der Frequenzumrichter durch einen Teilstrom der Förderflüssigkeit, welcher einen Strömungsraum zwischen Antriebsmotor und Frequenzumrichter durchströmt.The end EP 0 639 715 A1 known domestic water plant comprises a centrifugal pump, which is driven by an electric drive motor, on the drive motor outside a frequency converter is arranged, the control electrics is electrically conductively connected to a pressure sensor, which is arranged on the pressure side of the pump in a deposition chamber and thus the pressure at the delivery outlet of the centrifugal pump of the domestic waterworks detected. The motor and the frequency converter are cooled by a partial flow of the pumped liquid, which flows through a flow space between the drive motor and the frequency converter.

Darüber hinaus zählt es aus EP 1 041 595 A2 zum Stand der Technik, bei einer Kreiselpumpe einen Strömungswächter vorzusehen. Dieser Strömungswöchter besteht aus einem in den Strömungsweg der Förderflüssigkeit ragenden Hebel, der je nach Anströmgeschwindigkeit mehr oder weniger weit aus dem Förderweg geschwenkt wird, wodurch ein am anderen Ende des Hebels befindlicher Magnet bewegt wird, der mit einem in dem benachbart dazu im Klemmenkasten angeordneten Reedrelais zusammenwirkt und dieses ansteuert. Hebel und Relais sind in gesonderten Gehäusen angeordnet, um den Klemmenkasten gegenüber dem Förderstrom nicht gesondert abdichten zu müssen.It also counts EP 1 041 595 A2 to the prior art, to provide a flow switch in a centrifugal pump. This Strömungswöchter consists of a projecting into the flow path of the liquid conveying lever, which is more or less pivoted out of the conveying path depending on Anströmgeschwindigkeit, whereby a magnet located at the other end of the lever is moved with a arranged in the adjacent thereto in the terminal box reed relay interacts and controls this. Levers and relays are arranged in separate housings in order not to have to separate the terminal box from the flow rate separately.

Darüber hinaus sind Hauswasserwerke bekannt, die externe wasserführende und elektrische Leitungen aufweisen, um Betriebsparameter von außen an den Hauswasserwerken vorgesehenen Sensor- und Schalteinrichtungen zu dem Klemmenkasten des Antriebsmotors für den Pumpenbetrieb zu liefern. Solche verhältnismäßig langen Leitungen stellen zusätzliche Bauteile dar, bedingen erhöhte Montagekosten, erfordern einen erheblichen Platzbedarf, wirken störend und sind für Beschädigungen anfällig. Diese Nachteile bewirken, dass von einer weitgehend automatisierten Fertigung eines Hauswasserwerks abgesehen wird, insbesondere wenn es sich dabei um große Stückzahlen handelt.In addition, domestic waterworks are known, which have external water-carrying and electrical lines to provide operating parameters provided from outside to the domestic waterworks sensor and switching devices to the terminal box of the drive motor for pump operation. Such relatively long lines represent additional components, require increased installation costs, require a considerable amount of space, have a disturbing and are prone to damage. These drawbacks mean that a largely automated production of a domestic waterworks is dispensed with, especially if these are large quantities.

Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Hauswasserwerk der eingangs genannten Art zu verbessern.Against this background, the invention has the object to improve a domestic waterworks of the type mentioned.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die In Anspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features listed in claim 1.

Durch diese Lösung entfallen die externen wasserführenden und elektrischen Leitungen und die äußere Anordnung von Sensor- und Schalteinrichtungen zur Erfassung wichtiger Betriebsparameter für das Hauswasserwerk, so dass dieses einen kompakten Aufbau aufweist. Die erforderlichen Sensor- und Schalteinrichtungen sind in dem Klemmenkasten des Antriebsmotors untergebracht, so dass längere elektrische Anschlussleitungen im Wesentlichen vollständig entfallen, da die Sensoreinrichtungen, insbesondere die Drucksteuereinrichtung, innerhalb des Klemmenkastens an dessen Steuerelektrik anschließbar sind. Auch die Wirkverbindung der Sensoreinrichtungen mit den Aufnahmestellen für die Betriebsparameter erfolgt hydraulisch auf allerkürzestem Weg von dem Förderweg innerhalb des Hauswasserwerkes. Aufgrund des Merkmals, dass der Förderweg eine den elektrischen Antriebsmotor umgebende Kühlstrecke einschließt, die sich vorteilhaft direkt an eine Förderauslassausbildung der Kreiselpumpe anschließt, wird auf einfache Weise eine starke und im Hauptförderstrom wirkende Kühlung des elektrischen Antriebsmotors erzielt. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Hauswasserwerkes kann dieses ferner mit erheblich verringerten Kosten hergestellt werden. Weiterhin ist durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Hauswasserwerkes auch eine weitgehend automatisierte Herstellung des Hauswasserwerkes möglich, so dass es kostengünstig in hohen Stückzahlen gefertigt werden kann. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion des Hauswasserwerkes ist es des Weiteren einfacher möglich, länderspezifische Sicherheitsvorschriften für den Betrieb des Hauswasserwerkes zu erfüllen und bei seiner Herstellung zu berücksichtigen.This solution eliminates the external water-carrying and electrical lines and the external arrangement of sensor and switching devices for detecting important operating parameters for the domestic waterworks, so that this has a compact design. The required sensor and switching devices are in the terminal box of the drive motor housed so that longer electrical connection lines substantially completely eliminated, since the sensor devices, in particular the pressure control device, are connectable within the terminal box to the control electrics. The operative connection of the sensor devices with the receiving points for the operating parameters is hydraulically on the very shortest path from the delivery path within the domestic waterworks. Due to the feature that the conveying path encloses a cooling section surrounding the electric drive motor, which advantageously connects directly to a delivery outlet formation of the centrifugal pump, a strong cooling of the electric drive motor acting in the main delivery flow is achieved in a simple manner. The inventive design of the domestic waterworks this can also be made with significantly reduced costs. Furthermore, a largely automated production of the domestic waterworks is possible by the inventive design of the domestic waterworks, so that it can be manufactured inexpensively in large quantities. Due to the construction of the domestic waterworks according to the invention, it is also easier to meet country-specific safety regulations for the operation of the domestic waterworks and to take into account in its manufacture.

Besonders vorteilhaft bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Hauswasserwerk ist es, dass in dem Klemmenkasten ein Strömungskanal als eine zusätzliche Teilstrecke des Strömungsweges und ein Strömungswächter vorgesehen sind, wobei der Strömungswächter innerhalb des Klemmenkastens sowohl an dessen Steuerelektrik angeschlossen als auch zum Erfassen der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit in der Förderflüssigkeit in dem Strömungskanal ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Ausbildung kann auch der Strömungswächter mit sehr kurzen Anschlussverbindungen für seinen Betrieb und seine Funktion in dem Klemmenkasten angeordnet sein.It is particularly advantageous in the domestic waterworks according to the invention that in the terminal box, a flow channel as an additional section of the flow path and a flow switch are provided, wherein the flow monitor connected within the terminal box both at the control electrics and for detecting the flow rate in the pumped liquid in the flow channel is trained. By virtue of this design, the flow monitor can also be arranged with very short connection connections for its operation and its function in the terminal box.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung des Strömungskanals ist dieser als gerader Kanal im unteren Bereich des Klemmenkastens vorgesehen und verläuft achsparallel zur gemeinsamen Drehachse des Antriebsmotors und der Kreiselpumpe. Hierdurch wird eine einfache gießtechnische Herstellung des Strömungskanals ermöglicht.In an advantageous embodiment of the flow channel this is provided as a straight channel in the lower region of the terminal box and extends axially parallel to the common axis of rotation of the drive motor and the centrifugal pump. As a result, a simple casting-technical production of the flow channel is made possible.

Eine andere vorteilhafte Konstruktion besteht darin, dass an den Strömungskanal in dem Klemmenkasten ein auf der der Kreiselpumpe abgekehrten Seite des Antriebsmotors des Hauswasserwerkes vorgesehener Wasserdruckspeicher angeschlossen ist, der teilweise in dem Gehäuse des Hauswasserwerkes eingegliedert sein kann. Hierdurch kann auch der Wasserdruckspeicher funktionsgünstig und platzsparend an den Förderweg angeschlossen und an dem Hauswasserwerk angeordnet werden.Another advantageous construction is that to the flow channel in the terminal box on the side facing away from the centrifugal pump side of the drive motor of the domestic water plant provided water pressure accumulator is connected, which may be partially incorporated in the housing of the domestic waterworks. As a result, the water pressure accumulator can also be connected to the conveying path in a functional and space-saving manner and arranged at the domestic waterworks.

Das allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Hauswasserwerk nach Figur 1 umfasst als wesentliche Bestandteile eine selbstansaugende Kreiselpumpe 2 mit einem Saugstutzen 2 a und einen elektrischen Antriebsmotor 4 mit einem Klemmenkasten 3. Das Hauswasserwerk weist einen gemeinsamen Fuß 5 und einen Förderauslass 6 auf. Ferner kann das Hauswasserwerk mit einem Wasserdruckspeicher 7 versehen sein, der auf der der Kreiselpumpe 2 abgekehrten Seite des Antriebsmotors 4 vorgesehen ist. Der Klemmenkasten 3 umfasst einen Deckel 3 a und eine Umfangswand 3 b, die mit einer Gehäusewand 4 a des Hauswasserwerkes als ein einstückiges Bauteil als Spritzgussbauteil ausgebildet ist.The generally designated 1 house water after FIG. 1 comprises as essential components a self-priming centrifugal pump 2 with a suction nozzle 2 a and an electric drive motor 4 with a terminal box 3. The domestic waterworks has a common foot 5 and a delivery outlet 6. Furthermore, the domestic waterworks may be provided with a water pressure accumulator 7, which is provided on the side facing away from the centrifugal pump 2 of the drive motor 4. The terminal box 3 comprises a cover 3 a and a peripheral wall 3 b, which is formed with a housing wall 4 a of the domestic waterworks as a one-piece component as an injection molded component.

Nach Figur 2 ist die Kreiselpumpe 2 mehrstufig ausgebildet; sie kann jedoch auch eine einstufige Pumpe sein. Ferner ist in Figur 2 zu erkennen, dass die Gehäusewand 4 a des Hauswasserwerkes 1 den elektrischen Antriebsmotor 4 umfangsmäßig mit Abstand umgibt, so dass ein ringförmiger Umfangsraum gebildet ist, der als Kühlraum 8 dient, um den Motor 4 mit der von der Kreiselpumpe 2 direkt ankommenden Förderflüssigkeit zu kühlen. Hierzu weist die Kreiselpumpe eine im Wesentlichen ringförmige Förderauslassausbildung 9 auf, durch welche hindurch die Förderflüssigkeit von der Pumpe zu dem Kühlraum 8 gelangt. In der Förderauslassausbildung 9 befinden sich mehrere, voneinander beabstandete Stützrippen 9 a, um eine Nabe 10 für die Lagerung der Antriebswelle 11 des Motors 4 abzustützen, wobei die Antriebswelle im gezeigten Fall verlängert ausgebildet ist, um die Stufen der Pumpe 2 zu tragen.To FIG. 2 the centrifugal pump 2 is formed in several stages; However, it can also be a single-stage pump. Furthermore, in FIG. 2 to recognize that the housing wall 4 a of the domestic waterworks 1 circumferentially surrounds the electric drive motor 4 at a distance, so that an annular peripheral space is formed, which serves as a cooling chamber 8 to cool the motor 4 with the delivery fluid directly from the centrifugal pump 2. For this purpose, the centrifugal pump has a substantially annular Förderauslassausbildung 9, through which the pumped liquid passes from the pump to the cooling chamber 8. In the Förderauslassausbildung 9 are a plurality of spaced apart support ribs 9 a to support a hub 10 for supporting the drive shaft 11 of the motor 4, wherein the drive shaft is formed extended in the case shown to support the stages of the pump 2.

Wie es aus den Figuren 3 und 4 am besten zu erkennen ist, ist in dem Klemmenkasten 3 eine Drucksteuereinrichtung 12 vorgesehen. Die Drucksteuereinrichtung weist eine Verbindungsöffnung 13 auf, die eine Verbindung zu dem ringförmigen Kühlraum 8 darstellt. Dadurch kann der Förderdruck der von der Kreiselpumpe 2 ankommenden und den elektrischen Antriebsmotor 4 in dem Kühlraum 8 umfangsmäßig umströmenden Förderflüssigkeit von der Drucksteuereinrichtung festgestellt werden. Die Drucksteuereinrichtung bewirkt ein elektrisches Steuersignal in der Steuerelektrik ( nicht gezeigt) in dem Klemmenkasten 3, um den elektrischen Antriebsmotor 4, der die Kreiselpumpe 2 entsprechend antreibt, entsprechend dem festgestellten Druck ein- und auszuschalten.As it is from the Figures 3 and 4 is best seen, a pressure control device 12 is provided in the terminal box 3. The pressure control device has a connection opening 13, which forms a connection to the annular cooling space 8. As a result, the delivery pressure of the incoming from the centrifugal pump 2 and the electric drive motor 4 in the cooling chamber 8 circumferentially flowing around the delivery fluid can be detected by the pressure control device. The pressure control means effects an electric control signal in the control electrics (not shown) in the terminal box 3 to turn on and off the electric drive motor 4 which drives the centrifugal pump 2 in accordance with the detected pressure.

Wie es aus den Figuren 2 und 4 klar zu erkennen ist, ist in dem Klemmenkasten 3 ein Strömungskanal 14 vorgesehen. Dieser Strömungskanal ist vorzugsweise als gerader Kanal im unteren Bereich des Klemmenkastens angeordnet und verläuft vorteilhaft achsparallel zur gemeinsamen Drehachse 15 des Antriebsmotors 4 und der Kreiselpumpe 2. Weiterhin ist der Strömungskanal 14 so konstruiert, dass es ebenfalls zusammen mit dem weiter vorstehend erwähnten einstückigen Spritzgussbauteil als gesamtes einstückiges Spritzgussbauteil hergestellt wird. Wie den Figuren 2 und 3 entnehmbar ist, ist in dem Klemmenkasten 3 ein Strömungswächter 16 vorgesehen, dessen rotierendes Messrad 17 in dem Strömungskanal 14 vorgesehen ist. Der Strömungswächter 16 ist andererseits elektrisch mit der Steuerelektrik (nicht gezeigt) des Klemmenkastens verbunden, so dass die Messsignale des Strömungswächters in der Steuerelektrik verarbeitet werden können. Die so gewonnenen Steuer signale werden ebenfalls dazu verwendet, um den elektrischen Antriebsmotor 4 und damit die Kreiselpumpe 2 zu schalten oder zu steuern.As it is from the Figures 2 and 4 can be clearly seen, a flow channel 14 is provided in the terminal box 3. This flow channel is preferably as a straight channel in the lower region of the terminal box Furthermore, the flow channel 14 is constructed such that it is also produced together with the one-piece injection-molded component mentioned above as an integral one-piece injection-molded component. Like that Figures 2 and 3 can be removed, a flow switch 16 is provided in the terminal box 3, the rotating measuring wheel 17 is provided in the flow channel 14. The flow monitor 16, on the other hand, is electrically connected to the control electrics (not shown) of the terminal box, so that the measurement signals of the flow monitor can be processed in the control electronics. The control signals thus obtained are also used to switch the electric drive motor 4 and thus the centrifugal pump 2 or to control.

Der Strömungskanal 14 ist über eine zuströmseitig dieses Kanals vorgesehene Verbindungsöffnung 18 mit dem Kühlraum 8 verbunden, so dass die den Motor 4 umströmende Förderflüssigkeit aus dem Kühlraum 8 in den Strömungskanal gelangt und diesen hinter dem Messrad 17 des Strömungswächters 16 über den Förderauslass 6 des Hauswasserwerkes 1 verlässt.The flow channel 14 is connected via an inflow side of this channel provided connection opening 18 with the cooling chamber 8, so that the motor 4 flowing around the pumped liquid from the cooling chamber 8 enters the flow channel and this behind the measuring wheel 17 of the flow monitor 16 via the discharge outlet 6 of the domestic waterworks first leaves.

In dem Hauswasserwerk 1 ist mittels des ringförmigen Kühlraumes 8 und des sich daran anschließenden Strömungskanals 14 ein interner Förder weg ausgebildet, der am Förderauslass 6 des Hauswasserwerkes endet. Der Kühlraum 8 und der Strömungskanal 14 bilden somit Teilstrecken des Förderweges. Wenn ein Strömungswächter 16 nicht benötigt wird, kann der interne Förderweg durch das Hauswasserwerk auch so gestaltet sein, dass der Kühlraum 8 direkt an den Förderauslass 6 des Hauswasserwerkes angeschlossen ist, so dass der Strömungskanal 14 entfällt.In the domestic waterworks 1, an internal conveyor path is formed by means of the annular cooling chamber 8 and the adjoining flow channel 14, which ends at the delivery outlet 6 of the domestic waterworks. The cooling chamber 8 and the flow channel 14 thus form part of the conveyor path. If a flow monitor 16 is not needed, the internal flow through the domestic waterworks can also be designed so that the cooling chamber 8 is connected directly to the delivery outlet 6 of the domestic waterworks, so that the flow channel 14 is omitted.

Des Weiteren ist es auch möglich, dass die Drucksteuereinrichtung gleichzeitig sowohl mit dem Strömungskanal 14 als auch mit dem Kühlraum 8 kommuniziert, und zwar unter der Bedingung, dass die Verbindungsöffnung 18 geschlossen ist bzw. entfällt. Letzteres ist z. B. denkbar, wenn an den Strömungskanal 14 ein Druckwasserspeicher angeschlossen ist, wie noch klar wird. Der Raum 12a der Drucksteuereinrichtung 12 kommuniziert dann nicht nur über die Öffnung 14a mit dem Strömungskanal 14, sondern auch über die ventilöffnung 12b (Fig. 5). Die Drucksteuereinrichtung wirkt somit auch als Druckhalteeinrichtung für einen am Förderauslass 6 des Hauswasserwerkes 1 gewünschten Wasserdruck, Der jeweils gewünschte Wasserdruck ist voreinstellbar, indem gemäß Fig. 5 die Membran 20 mit dem Ventilschaft 21 der Einrichtung 12 mittels der Feder 21 a und der über ein Gewinde 22 verstellbaren Einstellplatte 23 axial eingestellt wird. Hierzu kann der Deckel 3a des Klemmenkastens 3 geöffnet werden, oder es ist alternativ in dem Deckel 3a eine verschließbare Einstellöffnung vorgesehen (nicht gezeigt, aber für den Fachmann ohne weiteres verständlich).Furthermore, it is also possible that the pressure control device simultaneously with both the flow channel 14 and the refrigerator 8 communicates, under the condition that the connection opening 18 is closed or deleted. The latter is z. B. conceivable if a pressurized water storage is connected to the flow channel 14, as will become clear. The space 12a of the pressure control device 12 then communicates not only via the opening 14a with the flow channel 14, but also via the valve opening 12b (FIG. Fig. 5 ). The pressure control device thus also acts as a pressure-holding device for a water pressure desired at the delivery outlet 6 of the domestic waterworks 1. The respective desired water pressure can be preselected, in accordance with FIG Fig. 5 the membrane 20 with the valve stem 21 of the device 12 by means of the spring 21 a and the adjustable thread 22 via a setting plate 23 is axially adjusted. For this purpose, the lid 3a of the terminal box 3 can be opened, or it is alternatively provided in the lid 3a, a closable Einstellöffnung (not shown, but readily understood by the skilled person).

Wie die Figuren 1, 2 und 3 zeigen, kann das Hauswasserwerk mit einem Wasserdruckspeicher 7 an sich bekannter Bauart versehen sein. Dieser Wasserdruckspeicher ist zuströmseitig direkt an den Strömungskanal angeschlossen, wodurch eine gesonderte Verbindungsleitung zwischen dem Druckwasserspeicher 7 und dem Strömungskanal 14 entfällt. Ferner ist bei der Angliederung des Druckwasserspeichers an das übrige Hauswasserwerk so vorgegangen, dass der Druckwasserspeicher wenigstens teilweise in einem Anschlussgehäuseteil 4b des Hauswasserwerkes eingegliedert ist, um den Druckwasserspeicher mechanisch sicher gehaltert an der vorerwähnten Gehäusewand 4a des Hauswasserwerkes zu befestigen.As the FIGS. 1 . 2 and 3 show, the house waterworks can be provided with a water pressure accumulator 7 per se known type. This water pressure accumulator is connected on the inflow side directly to the flow channel, whereby a separate connecting line between the pressurized water reservoir 7 and the flow channel 14 is omitted. Furthermore, in the affiliation of the pressurized water tank to the rest of the house water works so that the pressurized water tank is at least partially incorporated in a connection housing part 4b of the domestic waterworks to secure the pressurized water storage mechanically securely mounted on the aforementioned housing wall 4a of the domestic waterworks.

Im Betrieb des Hauswasserwerkes fördert die Kreiselpumpe 2 ihre Förderflüssigkeit über ihre Förderauslosscusbildung 9 in den Kühlraum 8, wo sie den gekapselten elektrischen Antriebsmotor 4 umfangsmäßig umströmt und dadurch kühlt. Die Förderflüssigkeit gelangt dann weiter über die Verbindungsöffnung 18 in den Strömungskanal 14, durchströmt diesen und gelangt dann über den Förderauslass 6 des Hauswasserwerkes 1 in eine angeschlossene Versorgungsleitung. Beim Durchströmen des Kühlraumes 8 wird mittels der Drucksteuereinrichtung 12 ein entsprechender Druckparameter der Förderflüssigkeit festgestellt, während beim Durchströmen des Strömungkanales 14 ein entsprechender Parameter für die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit der Förderflüssigkeit festgestellt wird. Aus diesen Parametern werden in der Steuerelektrik des Klemmenkastens 3 Steuersignale bzw. Schaltsignale für den elektrischen Antriebsmotor 4 entwickelt, um schließlich die Kreiselpumpe 2 in Verbindung mit den übrigen, in der Steuerelektrik voreingestellten Betriebsparametern zu betreiben, d. h. einzuschalten und auszuschalten.During operation of the domestic waterworks, the centrifugal pump 2 conveys its pumped liquid via its Förderauslosscusbildung 9 in the refrigerator 8, where they flows around the encapsulated electric drive motor 4 circumferentially and thereby cools. The delivery fluid then passes through the connection opening 18 in the flow channel 14, flows through this and then passes through the delivery outlet 6 of the domestic waterworks 1 in a connected supply line. As it flows through the cooling space 8, a corresponding pressure parameter of the delivery fluid is detected by means of the pressure control device 12, while a corresponding parameter for the flow rate of the delivery fluid is determined when flowing through the flow channel 14. From these parameters, control signals or switching signals for the electric drive motor 4 are developed in the control electrics of the terminal box 3 to finally operate the centrifugal pump 2 in conjunction with the other, set in the control electrics operating parameters, ie turn on and off.
