Definitions

  • the chief object of the invention is to provide a pump of the character described, which is greatly simplified over prior art pumps of the same type.
  • a further object is to provide a rotary pump Which avoids the use of iron castings and is therefore much lighter than prior art pumps of like capacity.
  • a still further object is to provide a pump of the character stated, wherein a simple, easily-fabricated base plate forms the central element of the pump, as well as the valve seat therefor, and to which all other parts of the pump are attached.
  • Another important object is to provide a simplified pump construction which enables the substitution of highstrength synthetic adhesives, such as epoxy resins, for holding elements deemed necessary in the prior art, such as threading, welding, soldering and expensive casting and machining of surfaces.
  • highstrength synthetic adhesives such as epoxy resins
  • Yet another object is to provide a pump as aforesaid, which makes use of simple, easily-fabricated shapes and forms, thus reducing the costs of construction, assembly and servicing over prior art pumps of like capacity.
  • a further object is to provide a pump which enables the use of simple forms of glass and acidand corrosion-resisting metal parts, thus promoting longevity and highly satisfactory service in pumps which are required to handle fluids in chemical arts and processes.
  • FIGURE 1 is a central vertical section through a pump embodying the invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a section taken in a plane identified by line 2-2, FIGURE 1;
  • FIGURE 3 is a central vertical section through the upper portion only, of a modification of the pump illustrated in FIGURES 1 and 2;
  • FIGURE 4 is an elevation, partly in section, of the pump, driving motor, and their common base mounting.
  • valve 1 identifies a circular disc or plate forming the top of the rotor housing and having therethrough an inlet opening 2 and a discharge opening 3.
  • the upper end of opening 3 is formed with a valve seat on which seats a valve 21.
  • this valve is a simple, generallysquare flat plate.
  • a strip 37 secured to plate 1 by screws 40 extends across and over valve 21 to limit the rise thereof.
  • the circumferential walls of the rotor housing are formed as a plain cylindrical sleeve or tubular element 4, clamped between disc 1 and a lower housing cover or plate 7, by bolts 8 whose ends are threaded into tapped holes in the lower face of disc 1. Nuts 9 threaded upon the lower ends of the bolts clamp together the disc, cylinder and cover to form a rotor housing within which a rotor 5, having a radially sliding vane 6, is journaled for rotation upon an axis positioned eccentrically of the pump housing. See FIGURE 2.
  • the upper housing 10 is shown as a simple cylindrical cap of sheet metal and having a diameter somewhat less than that of disc 1.
  • An oil chamber or housing 11 is formed from a cap shown as identical in form and size with cap 10. Both housings 10 and 11 are held to opposite sides of disc 1 by rims or rings 12 and 13 which interfit to receive a gasket 20 between them. As illustrated upon FIGURES l and 2, these rings are formed with four equiangularly-spaced lugs, drilled and tapped to receive cap screws 14 clamping the rings together.
  • Cap 10 has a smooth fit within ring 12 and is secured thereto by adhesive of the type previously mentioned.
  • Cap 11 is attached to and within ring 13 in a like manner.
  • a partition 15 is formed as a simple flat rectangular plate of size and shape to divide the upper housing 1t) into exhaust and intake chambers 16 and 17, respectively.
  • This partition has its upper and vertical side edges flanged, as is clear from inspection of FIGURES 1 and 2.
  • Gasket 20, previously mentioned, eifects a fluid-tight seal between the rim of housing 10 and disc 1.
  • the lower edge of partition 15 is coplanar with the rim of housing 1% and bears upon a diametrically-extending portion of the gasket, as shown at FIGURE 2.
  • the flanges of the partition are secured in fluid-tight relation with housing 10, by a highstrength resin adhesive of the epoxy type.
  • a lead-in coupling 18 is secured about an inlet opening in the top of housing 10 and affording ingress of fluid to chamber 17.
  • an exhaust coupling 19 is secured about an outlet opening in the top of the housing, in communication with chamber 16.
  • these couplings are simple tubular items having flanges riveted to the housing top. Adhesive of the type previously mentioned may be applied between the meeting surfaces to assure pressure-tight joints.
  • chamber 11 externally of the pump housing therein, as well as the lower portion of exhaust chamber 16, is filled with oil which serves to seal off the pump and the exhaust valve, as well as to lubricate the moving parts of the pump.
  • An orifice 22 through plate 1, FIGURE 2 provides communication between the housing 11 and chamber 16 to provide for free flow of oil therebetween.
  • Gasket prevents the flow of oil into chamber 17. No gaskets or seals are required between the end surfaces of sleeve 4 and plates 1 and 7. When these surfaces are properly prepared and cleaned before assembly, traces only of oil penetrate through these joints and are not objectionable.
  • Rotor 5 is journaled by and between an upper bearing 38 seated in a recess in the under surface of plate 1, and a lower bearing 39 in an aperture in plate 7.
  • a drive shaft 23 has its upper end fixed with rotor 5 and extends downwardly through a seal 24 of rubber or synthetic material within a gland ring 25.
  • This ring is secured to housing 11 by epoxy resin adhesive. This means of attachment is of especial utility because it enables ring 25 to be secured to the housing in precisely centered relation with respect to the shaft and thus, in a simple and inexpensive way, assures a perfect seal.
  • a base 29 has a rimmed depression 28 in its top surface.
  • the lower end of housing 11 fits smoothly Within this depression and is secured therein by adhesive of the type mentioned.
  • Shaft 23 has a pulley keyed to its lower end, to be driven by a belt 31 from a drive pulley 32 attached to the lower end of the vertical shaft 33 of motor 34.
  • This motor has a flanged base 35 fitting and secured within an opening 36 in base 29. Pumps constructed in accordance with the invention may be connected in parallel or in series, as required.
  • FIGURE 3 shows an alternative construction wherein the upper housing comprises a tubular element 26 of glass, secured by adhesive of the type previously mentioned, in pressure-tight relation within clamping ring 12.
  • the top of element 26 is sealed or closed by a metal plate or cap 27 having a flange which fits down over and exteriorly about element 26 and is adhesively secured thereto.
  • Partition 15 and inlet and exhaust fittings 18 and 19 are constructed and secured in position in the way previously described for the model shown at FIGURES 1 and 2.
  • the modification of FIGURE 3 is of particular utility in the handling of acids and corrosive fluids.
  • gasket 20 forms a seal (a) between rings 13 and 14, (b) between disc 1 and the rim of cap 10, and (0) between disc 1 and the lower edge of partition 15.
