Definitions
- the present invention basically relates to the sector of electromechanical-actuation metering pumps for metering liquids.
- Said metering pumps are used for metering additives of various sorts, by means of a regulation of a volumetric type of the fluid pumped at each cycle. They are devices that are widely used in numerous both industrial and domestic applications, such as for example:
- metering occurs by means of a pulsating movement of a mechanical member present in the so-called pump body, referred to as "membrane", which, pushed by a piston, injects the liquid to be metered into the purposely provided delivery passage of the pump body.
- the liquid to be metered is then introduced into the system to be treated, overcoming the counterpressure present in the piping in which it is injected.
- the key element that must provide the force necessary in order for the liquid to be metered to be effectively mixed with the liquid to be treated is hence the piston, which constitutes the component designed to move the membrane that sucks in the liquid in the pump body from the intake pipe and injects it into the delivery pipe in a cyclic way.
- Said piston is actuated by an electromagnet, which hence constitutes a fundamental part of the pump.
- the electromagnet is made up of a fixed part, housed in which is the armature, and a mobile part - referred to as "plate” - fixed with respect to the piston.
- the plate constitutes, in effect, the closing element for the magnetic flux of the electromagnet, said flux having as effect that of recalling said plate to the remaining fixed part of the electromagnet, thus producing a displacement.
- the electromagnet hence enables conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy to obtain work and move the liquid.
- the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the metering pump hence depend upon how said electromagnet is designed, driven, and controlled.
- the electronic card present in the pump will do nothing but supply the electromagnet and manage the electrical energy supplied thereto in the best way.
- Certain applications in effect require the metering pump to deliver small amounts of liquid at each injection, hence requiring a high number of injections so as to be able to meter the volume required for carrying out the treatment.
- Said target can be achieved by regulating the piston stroke causing that given the same injections, the volume of liquid can be properly metered via regulation of the aforesaid stroke.
- the present invention thus falls within the field of closed-loop regulation systems, where the input variable, which in the case of the present invention is the current supplied to the electromagnet, is regulated by the system through a feedback based upon control of appropriate physical quantities that can be brought down to the variable to be controlled: the injection volume.
- US 2009 0206184 is a system for injection into the combustion chamber regarding control of a fuel injector by using a sensor that detects the displacement of a mobile piston that slides in an accessory channel and, which is distinct from the needle valve.
- the purpose of the system is to monitor and process the signal of displacement of the accessory piston in order to control operation of the injector in the case of any malfunctioning (blocking in ON or OFF position), in the cases of deterioration of the geometries of the nozzles, of the injector, or of the chamber, in the cases where it is necessary to modify the shape of the injection pulse.
- the displacement of the piston is subordinate to the pressure difference existing between the two ends of the piston itself: the top one is subject to the supply pressure generated upstream of the injection system; the bottom one is subjected by the pressure in the "pre-injection" chamber, the volume of which depends upon the geometries involved.
- the aforesaid pressure difference obviously depends upon the supply pressure, the supply frequency, and the state of the injector.
- Three states of the injector may in fact be distinguished, namely, closed ("OFF"), intermediate (“blocking”), and open (“ON”), which determine, respectively, the following situations: OFF: the nozzles are closed by the needle, the pre-injection chamber is in communication with the supply, and the ends of the slidable piston are subject to one and the same pressure; blocking: the nozzles are still closed, and the supply ducts are geometrically closed, separating the pre-injection chamber from the supply; ON: the path to the nozzles is free, the pre-injection chamber does not communicate with the supply, and the mobile piston is displaced downwards following upon the negative pressure that is generated upon opening of the port of the nozzles.
- the present invention presents a series of substantial differences as compared to what is described in the injection system of US 2009 0206184 where, irrespective of the type of injector or of control exerted, the supply pump is completely separate from the injector.
- the pumping action and the injection action are carried out by means of one and the same device comprising a controlled-energization magnet, a piston, and a diaphragm. The latter presses the liquid into a duct, opening/closing of which is ensured by specific valves that operate exclusively for the fluid-dynamic effect.
- the present invention instead, by measuring the variation of impedance that is generated in the electrical circuit itself of the magnet as the position of the pumping piston varies, it is possible to determine the position of the piston itself and, from this, to control the energy involved in order to guarantee the pre-set flowrate of fluid. In other words, it is possible to carry out control of the displacement of the device by means of a measurement of its electrical characteristics, without the need to resort to - indirect measurements of other mobile elements.
- the position of the auxiliary piston in a certain configuration, can be corrected by means of an additional actuator.
- the displacement datum detected by the sensor is in this case processed also for restoring the volume and pressure in the pre-injection chamber.
- a metering pump which, in relation to the variation of inductance, generates a corresponding variation on the curve of the current and identifies, through the analysis carried out by the electronic circuit, the point of contact between the plate and the core of the electromagnet.
- the device identifies the end-of-travel of the piston and can thus interrupt activation of the electromagnet, preventing a useless waste of energy and hence of heat that jeopardizes the performance of the product.
- the present invention envisages a measurement of the current, which it uses for calculating the impedance, but, unlike what is indicated in WO 2007/007365 , is not limited to intercepting the point of arrival of the plate and hence the end-of-travel, but sets in relation the value of the inductance with the position assumed by the piston during its stroke and decides, on the basis of the settings entered by the user, in which position to block the piston stroke.
- the present invention it is possible to control with centesimal precision the piston stroke and hence the capacity of the pump for each single injection of additive.
- the document No. DE 20 2005 013089U regards an electronic-metering pump that carries out a control on the piston stroke in order to determine the necessary amount of energy thereof to cause the device to perform work properly. From an analysis of said document, it follows that it regulates the piston stroke through a mechanical system and, with the aid of an optical sensor, detects the stroke set by the user, and sends the datum to an electronic circuit that activates the electromagnet with a control signal, having an energy content commensurate with the work that is to be performed by the pump.
- the present invention is not limited to controlling the current on the electromagnet in order to prevent useless waste of energy, leaving it to the mechanical system to control the piston stroke, but activates the solenoid with a precise amount of current, controls advance thereof through the calculation of the impedance, and decides blocking thereof in a well-defined position that can be set through calibration of the electronic circuit.
- no mechanical control of the pump capacity is present, but everything is entrusted to an electronic system that activates the electromagnet, controls end-of-travel of the piston, and hence determines the pump capacity with centesimal precision.
- WO 03/023226 describes an electromagnetic metering pump for infusion of medical substances in the human body, wherein the device is supplied by a battery and is not connected to the electrical mains supply: for this reason, the invention described in said document regards a system that guarantees a correct metering with the least use of electrical energy, to the advantage of lengthening the service life of the battery.
- the present invention is based on the control of the stroke in order to modify instantaneously the injection volume of the pump.
- the invention is not limited to determining whether the end-of-travel has been reached, but a control is made in real time on what happens in the magnet, the impedance is calculated, and the exact point at which the piston stroke is to cease is decided.
- the solenoid performs not only the function of actuator but also that of sensor of the system.
- the main purpose of the present invention is to overcome all the drawbacks listed above by providing a new, latest-generation, metering pump with low energy consumption and high performance.
- the metering pump of the above sort is designed to replace the existing apparatuses by improving the current performance and reducing the levels of energy consumption to a minimum, at the same time guaranteeing an accurate metering based upon control of the piston stroke without the use of mechanical devices that are subject to wear, but through the measurement of physical quantities depending exclusively upon the geometry of the electromagnet.
- the metering pump according to the invention is basically constituted by three fundamental elements: the electronic card, the electromagnet, and the pump body.
- the core of the system is the electromagnet, which, appropriately governed by the electronic card and recalled by a spring, actuates a piston in a pulsed mode in a range preferably of between 0 and 360 pulses per minute.
- the inventive idea underlying the present invention consists in actuating the magnet gradually with small voltage increments, whilst simultaneously said electronic system, measures the current that traverses the solenoid in order to obtain the corresponding value of impedance thereof, which is directly associated to the position of the piston along the maximum stroke envisaged.
- a potentiometric or digital regulation which can be set directly by the operator via the interface of the electronic card, it is possible to select with centesimal precision, the exact point of arrest of the piston, i.e., its maximum stroke. Consequently, the pump that is described can vary with extreme precision the amount of additive injected for each single actuation of the electromagnet, without the aid of particular and costly mechanical regulations or of further sensors and electronic feedback.
- said electromagnet is nothing but an inductor constituted by a winding housed on a ferromagnetic material, of a defined geometry, in which an air gap is present, which tends to close with displacement of the plate 2.
- Said air gap is the distance (L1, L2, L3, L4) between the fixed part and the mobile part of the electromagnet, which coincides with the "stroke", whilst the mobile part (plate fixed with respect to the piston) displaces, causing variation of the value of inductance on account of a variation of the mechanical characteristics of the inductor itself and in particular of the variation of the physical parameter that in literature is defined as "magnetic reluctance".
- the present invention is consequently based upon the possibility of relating a measurement of inductance of the electromagnet 1 - and hence of a physical parameter depending only and exclusively upon geometries of production and constructional parameters that are not subject to drift of any type - with a displacement of the piston 3.
- the impedance of an electromagnet is characterized by a resistive factor typical of the copper that constitutes the winding, by an inductive factor that results from the number of turns, and by the geometry of the iron itself.
- the resistance R remains practically constant but for minor variations as a function of the temperature which can in any case be corrected. Should it be desired to regulate the stroke with extreme precision, it would be sufficient to insert a temperature sensor in order to correct the value of resistance R of the electromagnet 1 and measure the impedance thereof more accurately.
- the variation of the inductance L modifies the evolution of the current and is mathematically linked to the constructional geometries of the electromagnet 1 so that, by performing a simple sampling of the current for each electromagnet at constant voltage and measuring the impedance thereof just once and upon first turning-on, it is possible to characterize it, and the sampled values will repeat in all the operating conditions of the electromagnet, indicating, for the reasons mentioned above, the displacement of the piston 3 and of the plate 2 fixed with respect thereto.
- the measurement of the impedance is not affected by the pressure of the system to which the apparatus is connected nor by the variations of said pressure in so far as the force applied to the electromagnet 1 does not depend upon the system counterpressure but rather upon the stroke that the piston that determines the amount of liquid injected has to perform.
- Each electromagnet will hence be characterized by a table of its own in which the value of impedance will be correlated to the stroke and managed by the microcontroller.
- the electromagnet 1 is connected to the electronic microcontroller card, which is designed to detect, in real time, the position of the piston 3 as a function of the variations of the values of the impedance of the electromagnet 1 and hence to regulate, according to the requirements, the stroke of said piston 3 and consequently the amount of liquid that is injected instantaneously by the pump.
- the electronic microcontroller card which is designed to detect, in real time, the position of the piston 3 as a function of the variations of the values of the impedance of the electromagnet 1 and hence to regulate, according to the requirements, the stroke of said piston 3 and consequently the amount of liquid that is injected instantaneously by the pump.
- the impedance of the electromagnet 1 varies, since corresponding to a variation of the stroke is a variation of the reluctance of the magnetic circuit of the electromagnet and hence of the inductance thereof. From this it may be inferred that, according to the invention, by controlling the impedance the stroke is controlled, as has been said above.
- the electronic circuit supplies a first pulse, which causes the piston 3 to perform its entire stroke, and through measurements of current and voltage in the electromagnet 1, performed at intervals of one millisecond, stores in its own internal memory the values of the corresponding inductance, together with the actual value of stroke of the piston.
- the inductance is a quantity that varies only as some quantities of a physical and mechanical nature that can determine minor variations of the stroke vary, it is evident that the pump could require further calibrations to be carried out during the life cycle of the pump itself.
- the microcontroller will then receive as external input the desired position of the piston stroke, associated to a precise capacity of the metering pump, and will govern the power circuit connected to the electromagnet in such a way as to apply a pulse train able to generate the intermittent electromagnetic field that attracts and releases the plate 2, which, being fixed with respect to the piston 3, which is in turn fixed to the diaphragm 4, displaces the latter inside the pump body 5, and consequently the liquid agent is pumped in the aqueous solution.
- the impedance of the electromagnet will vary point-by-point and hence via its detection the stroke performed is determined; this will provide the microcontroller of the device with the possibility of identifying the point of arrest of the piston itself.
- the electronic circuit will manage the current as a function of said request within the admissible levels of ambient temperature envisaged for proper operation of metering pumps.
- the metering pump equipped with said control may likewise be connected via serial port to a remote computer for enabling intervention on operation of the pump itself.
- a first advantage in the use of the device described so far is represented by the possibility of regulating the piston stroke 3 as a function of the work that the metering pump must effectively perform, and hence of the amount of liquid that it must inject. This entails not only a saving in terms of energy, which is limited to the levels effectively necessary for said work, but also a saving in economic terms for the user, due to the fact that a precise metering that is constant over time prevents a useless waste of additive.
- a second advantage consists in the possibility of knowing, with a precision in the order of hundredths of millimetre, the position of the piston 3 during its stroke via the electronic control card.
- a third advantage is represented by the fact that it is possible to configure the piston stroke 3 during programming of the microcontroller. This consequently entails a further dual advantage: elimination of mechanical calibration means necessary for proper definition of the piston stroke and economic saving due to said elimination. With the same configuration of the product there is the possibility of producing metering pumps with different technical characteristics.
- a further advantage of the invention is that the metering pump comprising the electromagnet so far described works at temperatures lower than those at which a traditional metering pump works, thus preventing an excessive heating, due to the fact that the limitation of the piston stroke does not occur with mechanical means without decreasing the energy yielded to the electromagnet, but only limiting said energy.
- the microcontroller through control - in real time - of the variation of the inductance, detects said situation and, on the basis of the settings entered in programming step, signals the state of alarm immediately or following upon a given number of pulses.
- the system can envisage a procedure of re-priming that will start supply of a given number of injections, for a definite and programmed period of time.
- the OVERLOAD function enables the microcontroller of the electronic device to detect lack of metering irrespective of the presence of appropriate external devices of a known type (flow sensor): an obstruction of the delivery line of the pump, whether partial or total, slows down the rate of displacement of the piston, said slowing-down being a function of the degree of the obstruction; the electronic circuit of the pump acquires said data and, once a given period of time has elapsed, sets itself in a condition of alarm, indicating the state of OVERLOAD.
- a known type flow sensor
- the present invention bases control of the position of the piston 3 on the measurement of the inductance of the electromagnet 1; in this way, the end-of-travel switch and the capacitive sensor are eliminated.
- the electromagnet 1 in addition to performing the function of actuator of the pump, also functions as inductive sensor through which the position of the piston 3 and hence the capacity of the pump is detected and managed.

- Système selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que ladite carte électronique de microcontrôleur commande le courant sur l'électroaimant (1) de manière à empêcher tout gaspillage inutile d'énergie et active son solénoïde avec une quantité précise de courant, en commandant l'avance par le biais du calcul de l'impédance et en déterminant son blocage dans une position définie de manière précise qui peut être réglée par le biais de l'étalonnage du circuit électronique, sans aucun système mécanique pour commander la capacité de la pompe.
- Système selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que, afin de commander la course du piston (3) de manière à modifier instantanément le volume d'injection de la pompe de dosage, ladite carte électronique de microcontrôleur détermine si la fin de course préréglée a été atteinte et commande, en temps réel, ce qui se produit dans l'électroaimant (1) en calculant l'impédance et en déterminant le point exact auquel la course du piston (3) doit cesser ; en obtenant ainsi que le solénoïde de l'électroaimant (1), en plus de remplir la fonction d'actionneur, fonctionne également comme un capteur.
- Système selon la revendication 8, caractérisé en ce que la pompe de dosage est constituée essentiellement de trois éléments fondamentaux : une carte électronique, un électroaimant (1) et un corps de pompe avec piston (3), dans lequel ledit électroaimant (1), actionné de manière appropriée par la carte électronique et rappelé par un ressort, actionne le piston (3) dans un mode pulsé dans une plage comprise de préférence entre 0 et 360 impulsions par minute.
- Système selon la revendication précédente, caractérisé en ce que ladite carte électronique actionne l'électroaimant (1) progressivement avec de petits incréments de tension alors qu'elle mesure simultanément le courant qui traverse le solénoïde dudit électroaimant de manière à obtenir à partir de celui-ci la valeur d'impédance correspondante, qui est directement associée à la position du piston (3) le long de la course maximale envisagée ; par le biais d'une régulation potentiométrique ou numérique, qui peut être réglée directement par l'opérateur via l'interface de la carte électronique, en permettant de sélectionner avec une précision centésimale le point exact d'arrêt du piston, c'est-à-dire sa course maximale, en permettant ainsi de faire varier avec une précision extrême la quantité d'additif injectée pour chaque actionnement individuel de l'électroaimant, sans l'aide de réglages mécaniques particuliers et coûteux ou d'autres capteurs et rétroaction électronique.
