- This invention is achieved by an integrated combination of a screw pump with a gear pump according to the invention.
- the task of suctioning and conveying and the gear pump to the task of metering pump falls to the screw pump.
- the screw pump is formed by a screw guided in an enveloping tube, which serves as a self-priming supply unit for the pump pump structurally connected to the screw pump.
- the gear pump and the screw pump are connected as a unit via a component of the container with the container.

- a direct connection here means that the torque transmission does not occur, for example, via an intermediate gear.
- the screw is indirectly rotatably connected to the drive of the gear pump. This can be done for example via a further gear in the gear pump.
- This variant allows a screw speed, is not identical to one of the speeds of the gears used for the pumping function of the gear pump. This allows additional design freedom.
- the length of the screw is greater than the diameter of the screw, since then both the conveying effect and the gen / diameter ratio greater than 1, more preferably greater than 1.5.
- a catchy screw is also preferred. The actual geometry of the screw results from the required volume flow and the available speed of the screw.
- the speed of the screw can be designed on the one hand, that this promotes a higher nominal flow rate than the gear pump. This ensures that the medium in the intake of the gear pump always has a sufficiently high pressure to be supplied to the gear pump safely.
- the screw can also be operated at a lower speed if the viscosity of the medium and the gear pump allow the gear pump to have self-priming properties.
- the axial position of the screw relative to the lid and thus the immersion depth of the screw in the medium is adjustable. This makes it easy to adapt the metering device according to the invention to different viscous media.
- the axial position adjustment can be carried out both by an adjusting device during operation or during service interruptions as well as by mounting, for example, intermediate rings between the worm and the drive.
- the tube which surrounds the screw the upper side connected by means of a holder with the gear pump.

- the drive shaft 10 is continuously from the drive 18 via the drive gear 13 to the screw 5, wherein the drive shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the drive gear 13, which drives the gear 14.
- the lid 3 replaces a closure, not shown here, of the container 1, which closes the container 1 for transport and storage purposes. For removal purposes, this closure is removed and the lid 3 is inserted. Due to the weight of the lid presses this on the medium 2 and due to its contour partially sinks so far that the medium 2 enters the suction region 11 and thus into the effective range of the screw 5. To assist, it is also possible that the lid 3 is pneumatically loaded to sink. This makes it possible to improve the filling of the feed unit.

- the dosing accuracy of the screw pump 5 is not sufficient.
- the medium 2 undergoes an intensive shearing between the surface of the rotating screw 5 and the inner wall of the tube 6 when conveyed by the screw pump 4.
- this causes a lowering of the viscosity, which has a positive effect on the delivery by the gear pump 7, in particular on the intake behavior.
- the cover 3 sinks with decreasing volume of the medium 2 downwards, so that the suction region 11 and the screw 5 are tracked to the sinking surface of the medium 2. As a result, an almost complete emptying of the container is possible.
- An optional axial adjustment 15 is provided to adjust the insertion depth of the screw 5 in the medium 2. Especially with highly viscous media 2, it is advantageous if the screw 5 continues to dip.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dosiervorrichtung zum Fördern hochviskoser Medien gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a metering device for conveying highly viscous media according to the preamble of
Eine Dossiervorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 ist durch die Druckschrift
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Ausführungsformen der Pumpen bekannt. Allgemein wird angestrebt, durch das Eigengewicht oder durch aktives Pressen des Deckels gegen das Medium, dieses zu verdrängen und in den Ansaugbereich der Pumpe gelangen zu lassen. Die Pumpe fördert dann das Medium in Richtung des Verbrauchers. Abhängig vom Zweck kommt dafür bei Schwerpunkt der Anforderung auf einer Förderwirkung eine Schrauben- oder Schneckenpumpe oder bei Schwerpunkt der Anforderung auf einer Dosierwirkung eine Verdrängerpumpe zum Einsatz.Various embodiments of the pumps are known from the prior art. Generally, it is desirable, by the weight or by actively pressing the lid against the medium to displace this and get into the suction of the pump. The pump then delivers the medium in the direction of the consumer. Depending on the purpose, a positive displacement pump or auger pump is used for the main focus of the demand on a conveying effect, or a positive displacement pump is used for the main focus of the requirement for a metering effect.
Bei hochviskosen Medien mit strukturviskosen Eigenschaften, bei denen die Viskosität durch eine Scherung abnimmt, oder bei thixotropen Medien, bei denen dieser Zustand für einen gewissen Zeitraum erhalten bleibt, ist es vorteilhaft, das zu fördernde Medium vor der Pumpe zusätzlich zu scheren.In the case of highly viscous media with pseudoplastic properties in which the viscosity decreases due to shearing, or in the case of thixotropic media in which this state is maintained for a certain period of time, it is advantageous to additionally shear the medium to be conveyed in front of the pump.
Die Patentschrift
Eine weitere Lösung beschreibt die
Der Nachteil der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lösungen besteht entweder in dem hohen erforderlichen Drehmoment zum Antrieb eines großen Flügels, wodurch diese Lösung nicht geeignet ist für hohe Viskositäten. Andererseits ist die Förder- und Scherwirkung kleiner Propeller in vielen Fällen nicht ausreichend.The disadvantage of the solutions known from the prior art is either the high torque required to drive a large leaf, which makes this solution unsuitable for high viscosities. On the other hand, the conveying and shearing effect of small propellers is in many cases not sufficient.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Dosiervorrichtung zum Fördern hochviskoser, insbesondere auch für thixotrope oder strukturviskose Medien bereit zu stellen.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a metering device for conveying highly viscous, especially for thixotropic or pseudoplastic media.
Diese Erfindung wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine integrierte Kombination einer Schneckenpumpe mit einer Zahnradpumpe gelöst. Dabei fällt der Schneckenpumpe die Aufgabe des Ansaugens und Förderns und der Zahnradpumpe die Aufgabe des Dosierpumpens zu. Hierzu wird die Schneckenpumpe durch eine in einem umhüllenden Rohr geführte Schnecke gebildet, die als selbstansaugende Zuführeinheit für die mit der Schneckenpumpe baulich verbundene Zahnradpumpe dient.This invention is achieved by an integrated combination of a screw pump with a gear pump according to the invention. In this case, the task of suctioning and conveying and the gear pump to the task of metering pump falls to the screw pump. For this purpose, the screw pump is formed by a screw guided in an enveloping tube, which serves as a self-priming supply unit for the pump pump structurally connected to the screw pump.
Die Zahnradpumpe und die Schneckenpumpe werden als Einheit über ein Bauteil des Behälters mit dem Behälter verbunden.The gear pump and the screw pump are connected as a unit via a component of the container with the container.
Die Schnecke der Schneckenpumpe ist senkrecht zur Oberfläche des Mediums ausgerichtet und durchdringt einen Deckel, welcher als Bauteil des Behälters zur Aufnahme und Befestigung der Dosier- und Zuführeinheit besonders geeignet ist.The screw of the screw pump is aligned perpendicular to the surface of the medium and penetrates a lid, which is particularly suitable as a component of the container for receiving and fixing the metering and feeding unit.
Besonders bevorzugt ist das Rohr, das die Schnecke umschließt, direkt mittels eines Flansches mit dem Deckel verbunden. Dies erlaubt eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige Konstruktion.Particularly preferably, the tube which surrounds the screw is connected directly to the cover by means of a flange. This allows a particularly simple and inexpensive construction.
In einer Variante der Erfindung ist die Schnecke dabei drehfest mit dem antreibenden Antriebszahnrad der Zahnradpumpe verbunden, beispielsweise mittels einer gemeinsamen Welle. Diese Welle kann dabei erfindungsgemäß durchaus geteilt sein, solange die Teile der Welle drehfest miteinander verbunden sind. Unter einer direkten Verbindung wird hier verstanden, dass die Drehmoment-Übertragung nicht zum Beispiel über ein Zwischengetriebe erfolgt.In a variant of the invention, the screw is rotatably connected to the driving drive gear of the gear pump, for example by means of a common shaft. This shaft can be quite divided according to the invention, as long as the parts of the shaft are rotatably connected to each other. A direct connection here means that the torque transmission does not occur, for example, via an intermediate gear.
In einer alternativen Variante der Erfindung besteht die direkte drehfeste Verbindung der Schnecke mit dem angetriebenen Zahnrad der Zahnradpumpe. Diese Variante erlaubt eine zusätzliche Konstruktionsfreiheit.In an alternative variant of the invention there is the direct rotationally fixed connection of the screw with the driven gear of the gear pump. This variant allows additional design freedom.
In einer weiteren alternativen Variante der Erfindung ist die Schnecke indirekt drehfest mit dem Antrieb der Zahnradpumpe verbunden. Dies kann beispielsweise über ein weiteres Zahnrad in der Zahnradpumpe erfolgen. Diese Variante erlaubt eine Schneckendrehzahl, nicht identisch ist mit einer der Drehzahlen der für die Pumpfunktion der Zahnradpumpe verwendeten Zahnräder. Dies ermöglicht zusätzliche Konstruktionsfreiheiten.In a further alternative variant of the invention, the screw is indirectly rotatably connected to the drive of the gear pump. This can be done for example via a further gear in the gear pump. This variant allows a screw speed, is not identical to one of the speeds of the gears used for the pumping function of the gear pump. This allows additional design freedom.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Länge der Schnecke größer als der Durchmesser der Schnecke, da dann sowohl die Förderwirkung als auch die gen/Durchmesser-Verhältnis größer 1, besonders bevorzugt größer 1,5. Ebenfalls bevorzugt ist eine eingängige Schnecke. Die tatsächliche Geometrie der Schnecke ergibt sich aus dem geforderten Volumenstrom und der zur Verfügung stehenden Drehzahl der Schnecke.Particularly advantageously, the length of the screw is greater than the diameter of the screw, since then both the conveying effect and the gen / diameter ratio greater than 1, more preferably greater than 1.5. Also preferred is a catchy screw. The actual geometry of the screw results from the required volume flow and the available speed of the screw.
Dabei kann die Drehzahl der Schnecke einerseits so ausgelegt werden, dass diese einen höheren Nenn-Volumenstrom fördert als die Zahnradpumpe. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass das Medium im Ansaugbereich der Zahnradpumpe immer einen ausreichend hohen Überdruck aufweist, um der Zahnradpumpe sicher zugeführt zu werden. Andererseits kann die Schnecke auch mit geringerer Drehzahl betrieben werden, wenn die Viskosität des Mediums und die Zahnradpumpe es zulassen, dass die Zahnradpumpe selbstansaugende Eigenschaften aufweist.The speed of the screw can be designed on the one hand, that this promotes a higher nominal flow rate than the gear pump. This ensures that the medium in the intake of the gear pump always has a sufficiently high pressure to be supplied to the gear pump safely. On the other hand, the screw can also be operated at a lower speed if the viscosity of the medium and the gear pump allow the gear pump to have self-priming properties.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist die axiale Position der Schnecke relativ zum Deckel und damit die Eintauchtiefe der Schnecke im Medium verstellbar. Dadurch ist es einfach möglich, die erfindungsgemäße Dosiervorrichtung an unterschiedliche viskose Medien anzupassen. Die axiale Positionsverstellung kann dabei sowohl durch eine Verstelleinrichtung im Betrieb oder bei Betriebsunterbrechungen erfolgen wie auch durch Montage von beispielsweise Zwischenringen zwischen Schnecke und Antrieb.In one embodiment of the invention, the axial position of the screw relative to the lid and thus the immersion depth of the screw in the medium is adjustable. This makes it easy to adapt the metering device according to the invention to different viscous media. The axial position adjustment can be carried out both by an adjusting device during operation or during service interruptions as well as by mounting, for example, intermediate rings between the worm and the drive.
Ebenfalls besonders bevorzugt in Hinblick auf eine einfache und kostengünstige Konstruktion ist das Rohr, das die Schnecke umschließt, oberseitig mittels eines Halters mit der Zahnradpumpe verbunden.Also particularly preferred in view of a simple and inexpensive construction, the tube which surrounds the screw, the upper side connected by means of a holder with the gear pump.

In
Die Dosiervorrichtung wird gebildet aus einem Deckel 3, der in den Behälter 1 eingebracht ist und der eine Schneckenpumpe 4 sowie eine Zahnradpumpe 7 mit einem Antrieb 18 trägt. Die Einheiten Deckel 3, Schneckenpumpe 4 und Zahnradpumpe 7 sowie der Antrieb 18 bilden eine bauliche Einheit. Die Schneckenpumpe 4 wird gebildet aus der Schnecke 5 und dem sie umgebenden Rohr 6. Die Schnecke 5 durchdringt axial den Deckel 3. Die Ausrichtung der Schnecke 5 ist senkrecht zur Oberfläche des Mediums 2. Die axiale Position der Schnecke ist so gewählt, dass das offene Ende der Schnecke 4 in einem Ansaugbereich 11 teilweise in das Medium 2 eintaucht.The metering device is formed from a
An dieser Stelle sei ausdrücklich erwähnt, dass der Deckel (3) nur eine Möglichkeit darstellt, um die Dosiereinrichtung über ein Bauteil des Behälters mit dem Behälter zu verbinden. So besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Dosiereinrichtung an einer Behälterwand oder einem Behälterboden zu befestigen.It should be expressly mentioned at this point that the cover (3) represents only one possibility for connecting the metering device to the container via a component of the container. Thus, it is also possible to attach the metering device to a container wall or a container bottom.
Bei der gezeigten Ausführung ist das Rohr 6 der Spinnpumpe 4 über den Flansch 16 mit dem Deckel 3 verbunden. Oberseitig ist das Rohr 6 mittels eines Halters 17 mit der Zahnradpumpe 7 verbunden. Zwischen Schnecke 5 und Rohr 3 weist die Schneckenpumpe einen Förderspalt 12 auf, der mit dem Zahnradpumpeneinlass 8 oberhalb der Schnittebene verbunden ist. Die Zahnradpumpe 7 weist zwei kämmende Zahnräder 13 und 14 auf, die in den umlaufenden Zahnlücken der miteinander kämmenden Zahnräder 13 und 14 das Medium in Richtung des rückseitig gelegenen Auslasses 9 fördern, wo ein hier nicht dargestellter Verbraucher angeschlossen ist.In the embodiment shown, the
Die Antriebswelle 10 ist mittels einer Kupplung 19 mit einem Antrieb 18, beispielsweise einem Elektromotor, verbunden. Die Antriebswelle 10 ist von dem Antrieb 18 über das Antriebszahnrad 13 durchgehend bis zur Schnecke 5, wobei die Antriebswelle 10 drehfest mit dem Antriebszahnrad 13 verbunden ist, welches das Zahnrad 14 antreibt.The
Nachfolgend wird die Funktion der Dosiervorrichtung beschrieben. Der Deckel 3 ersetzt einen hier nicht dargestellten Verschluss des Behälters 1, der für Transport- und Lagerungszwecke den Behälter 1 verschließt. Für Entnahmezwecke wird dieser Verschluss entfernt und der Deckel 3 eingesetzt. Durch das Eigengewicht des Deckels drückt dieser auf das Medium 2 und sinkt aufgrund seiner Kontur teilweise so weit ein, dass das Medium 2 in den Ansaugbereich 11 und somit in den Wirkbereich der Schnecke 5 gelangt. Zur Unterstützung ist es auch möglich, dass der Deckel 3 pneumatisch belastet wird, um abzusinken. Damit lässt sich das Füllen der Zuführeinheit noch verbessern.The function of the metering device will be described below. The
Durch die Schneckenpumpe 4 wird das Medium 2 angesaugt und nach oben gefördert. Üblicherweise ist die Dosiergenauigkeit der Schneckenpumpe 5 nicht ausreichend. Dies wird jedoch durch die nachgeschaltete Zahnradpumpe 7 gewährleistet, wodurch sich beide Pumpen in vorteilhafter Weise ergänzen. Das Medium 2 erfährt bei der Förderung durch die Schneckenpumpe 4 eine intensive Scherung zwischen der Oberfläche der rotierenden Schnecke 5 und der Innenwandung des Rohres 6. Insbesondere bei Medien 2 mit strukturviskosen oder thixotropen Eigenschaften bewirkt dies eine Absenkung der Viskosität, was sich positiv auf die Förderung durch die Zahnradpumpe 7 auswirkt, insbesondere auf deren Ansaugverhalten.By the
Im Betrieb der Dosierpumpe sinkt der Deckel 3 mit abnehmendem Volumen des Mediums 2 nach unten, so dass der Ansaugbereich 11 und die Schnecke 5 der absinkenden Oberfläche des Mediums 2 nachgeführt wird. Dadurch ist eine nahezu vollständige Entleerung des Behälters möglich.During operation of the metering pump, the
Eine optionale Axialverstellung 15 ist vorgesehen, um die Eintauchtiefe der Schnecke 5 in dem Medium 2 anzupassen. Insbesondere bei hochviskosen Medien 2 ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Schnecke 5 weiter eintaucht. Dies liegt darin begründet, dass der Deckel 3 aufgrund des Eigengewichtes nur unzureichend in das Medium 2 eintaucht, um dieses aufgrund der Verdrängung in der Bereich des Rohres 6 zu drücken. Um die axiale Verstellung zu ermöglichen, ist zwischen der Antriebswelle 10 und dem Antriebszahnrad 13 eine hier nicht weiter dargestellte und durch einen Fachmann auszuwählende verschiebbare drehfeste Verbindung vorgesehen.An optional
Der Antrieb der Schneckenpumpe 4 erfolgt hier indirekt über das Zahnrad 14 und die Welle 20, während das Antriebszahnrad 13 mit der Antriebswelle 10 drehfest verbunden ist. Dabei treibt das Antriebszahnrad 13 das Zahnrad 14 an.The drive of the
Anstelle der Axialverstellung 15 wird hier die axiale Position der Schnecke relativ zum Deckel 3 durch einen Zwischenring 21 festgelegt. Der Zwischenring kann beispielsweise zwischen Schnecke 5 und einem axialen Anschlag der Welle 20 auf die Welle 20 geschoben sein. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, dem Einsatzzweck angepasst Schnecken unterschiedlicher Länge vorzusehen.Instead of the
