Aus der EP 0 538 711 A geht eine Fördervorrichtung etwa für Kunststoffgranulate mit einer Schlauchleitung hervor, die einends mittels einer Lanze in einen Speichersilo eintaucht sowie andernends durch einen Filterträger hindurch in einen Rohrstutzen einragt, der auf dem kastenartigen Einlass einer tangentialen Einzugsöffnung eines Plastifizierzylin- ders sitzt. Über dem Filterträger ist eine ebenfalls von der Schlauchleitung durchsetzte Deckel-Baugruppe mit einer Saugkammer vorgesehen. Letztere weist zum Rohrstutzen gerichtete Saugöffnungen auf und steht mit einem Düsensystem in Wirkverbindung, dem Druckluft oder Druckgas als Arbeitsmedium zugeführt werden kann. In der Saugkammer wird ein relativ hoher Unterdrück erzeugt, der sich durch die Saugöffnungen und die Filter in den Rohrstutzen sowie von dort aus durch die Schlauchleitung bis in den Speichersilo fortpflanzt. Jenes Arbeitsmedium soll durch Erhöhung seiner Ge- schwindigkeit im Fördergut einen so hohen Druck erzeugen, dass die Feststoffe unter Vermischung mit einem Saugluftstrom zu jenem kastenartigen Einlass gesaugt werden. An den Filtern werden die Feststoffe vom Saugluftstrom abgetrennt und dieser mit dem Arbeitsmedium gemischt. Eine Filterrei- nigung kann während des Prozesses nicht durchgeführt werden.EP 0 538 711 A discloses a conveying device for plastic granules, for example, with a hose line which at one end dips into a storage silo by means of a lance and at the other end protrudes through a filter carrier into a pipe socket which rests on the box-like inlet of a tangential intake opening of a plasticizing cylinder sitting. About the filter support a likewise penetrated by the hose line cover assembly is provided with a suction chamber. The latter has suction openings directed towards the pipe socket and is in operative connection with a nozzle system to which compressed air or compressed gas can be supplied as working medium. In the suction chamber is a produced relatively high negative pressure, which propagates through the suction openings and the filter in the pipe socket and from there through the hose into the storage silo. By increasing its speed in the material to be conveyed, that working medium should generate such a high pressure that the solids are sucked into that box-like inlet while being mixed with a stream of suction air. At the filters, the solids are separated from the suction air stream and this mixed with the working fluid. Filter cleaning can not be performed during the process.
Nach dem Stand der Technik sind derartige Fördervorrichtungen auf ein bestimmtes Produkt zugeschnitten, also auf das Fördern von Pulvern oder das Fördern von Flüssigkeit. Zwar können einige Diaphragmapumpen Pulver und Flüssigkeiten fördern, jedoch ist ein effizientes Behandeln von Pulver nur in geringem Maße möglich sowie nur dann, wenn die Substanz das Pulver auf den Prozess besonders abgestimmt ist.According to the state of the art, such conveying devices are tailored to a specific product, that is to say to the conveying of powders or the conveying of liquid. Although some diaphragm pumps can deliver powder and liquids, efficient powder handling is only possible to a limited extent, and only if the substance is specially adapted to the process.
Das Fördern von Suspensionen ist insofern schwierig, als das Pulver in einer Suspension dazu neigt, sich in den Rohren oder Verschlussklappen abzulagern, was zu einer Blockierung des Fördersystems führt.The delivery of suspensions is difficult in that the powder in a suspension tends to deposit in the tubes or shutters, resulting in blockage of the delivery system.

Die erfindungsgemäße Kammer kann aus unterschiedlichen Materialien zum Fördern von aggressiven oder empfindlichen Produkten hergestellt werden wie Edelstahl, Hastelloy, Kunststoff, Glas, Emaille, und dies mit Beschichtung.The chamber according to the invention can be made of different materials for conveying aggressive or sensitive products such as stainless steel, Hastelloy, plastic, glass, enamel, and this with coating.
Das erfindungsgemäße System besteht aus einer kalibrierten, zylindrischen Kammer mit einem seitlichen Zugang, der mit einer Absperrklappe bzw. einem Verschlussventil ausgestattet ist; ein weiteres Verschlussventil ist an der bodenwär- tigen Austrittseite des Apparates angebracht.The system according to the invention consists of a calibrated cylindrical chamber with a lateral access provided with a butterfly valve; another closing valve is attached to the bottom outlet side of the appliance.
Am oberen Teil des Apparates ist ein System zum Trennen von Flüssigkeit und Pulver -- aus einem Schwimmer mit einem Filter -- installiert. Dieses System kann feststehend oder beweglich sein. Ein Deckel schließt das Ganze. Er ist mit einer Druck- und einer Unterdruckquelle verbunden, die jeweils mit Absperrventilen ausgestattet sind. Der Deckel um- fasst am oberen Teil einen O-Ring, an welchen sich der Schwimmer anlegt, um das System beim Ansaugen von Flüssig- keit zu verschließen.At the upper part of the apparatus is a system for separating liquid and powder - a float with a filter - installed. This system can be fixed or mobile. A lid closes the whole thing. It is connected to a pressure and a vacuum source, each equipped with shut-off valves. The lid encloses an O-ring on the upper part, which the floater attaches to in order to close the system when sucking in liquid.
Das erfindungsgemäße System arbeitet -- durch einen Schaltkasten gesteuert — automatisch. Zum Fördern von Flüssigkeit werden das unterdruckseitige Absperrventil und das Einlassventil geöffnet; mit Hilfe des Unterdrucks wird die Flüssigkeit durch das mit der Pumpenkammer verbundene Einlassrohr angesaugt. Das Flüssigkeitsniveau steigt bis der Schwimmer angehoben wird und sich an den Abdichtring in der Filterkammer anlegt, um die Verbindung zur Unterdruckquelle zu. unterbrechen; durch den Unterdruck wird die Dichtigkeit der Paarung am Abdichtring und Schwimmer gewährleistet. Nach einem bestimmten Zeitraum werden das Einlassventil und das Unterdruckventil geschlossen sowie das Druckventil und das Auslassventil geöffnet. Dann wird die Pumpenkammer entleert, indem die Flüssigkeit mittels Druck herausgepresst wird. Nach einigen Sekunden werden Druck- und Auslassventile wieder geschlossen und der Zyklus kann erneut begin- nen.The system according to the invention works - controlled by a control box - automatically. For conveying liquid, the vacuum-side shut-off valve and the inlet valve are opened; with the help of the negative pressure, the liquid is sucked through the inlet pipe connected to the pump chamber. The liquid level rises until the float is raised and abuts the sealing ring in the filter chamber to connect to the vacuum source. break; by the negative pressure, the tightness of the mating on the sealing ring and float is guaranteed. After a certain period of time, the inlet valve and the vacuum valve are closed and the pressure valve and the exhaust valve opened. Then the pump chamber is emptied by the liquid is pressed out by pressure. After a few seconds, the pressure and discharge valves close again and the cycle can begin again.
Auch zum Fördern von Pulver werden erfindungsgemäß das unterdruckseitige Absperrventil und das Einlassventil geöffnet sowie mittels des Unterdruckes das Pulver durch das mit der Pumpenkammer verbundene Leitungssystem bzw. Einlassrohr angesaugt. Die Pumpenkammer füllt sich mit Pulver. Der Filter in deren oberem Bereich verhindert, dass feine Partikel in das Vakuumsystem gelangen. Der Schwimmer bleibt in seiner tiefen Stellung, da die Geschwindigkeit des För- dergases nicht ausreicht, ihn anzuheben. Ebenfalls hier werden nach einem bestimmten Zeitraum Einlassventil und Absperr- oder Unterdruckventil geschlossen und das Druckventil sowie das Auslassventil geöffnet; die Pumpenkammer wird durch den Druck entleert, der gleichzeitig den Filter im Gegenstrom reinigt, und nach einigen Sekunden werden Druck- und Auslassventil wieder geschlossen. Der Zyklus kann erneut beginnen.Also for conveying powder according to the invention, the vacuum-side shut-off valve and the inlet valve are opened and sucked by means of the negative pressure, the powder through the connected to the pump chamber line system or inlet pipe. The pump chamber fills with powder. The filter in its upper area prevents fine particles from entering the vacuum system. The float remains in its low position as the velocity of the delivery gas is insufficient to raise it. Also here are closed after a certain period inlet valve and shut-off or vacuum valve and the pressure valve and the exhaust valve open; the pump chamber is emptied by the pressure which simultaneously cleans the filter in countercurrent, and after a few seconds the pressure and discharge valves are closed again. The cycle can start again.
Soll eine Suspension gefördert werden, wird letztere mit Unterdruck durch das mit der Pumpenkammer verbundene Leitungssystem bzw. Einlassrohr angesaugt, und mittels des Filters im oberen Teil der Pumpenkammer werden die Partikel der Suspension von der Flüssigkeit getrennt sowie ein Verschmutzen des Schwimmers verhindert. Das Flüssigkeitsniveau steigt, bis der Schwimmer angehoben wird und den offenen Ringraum des Abdichtrings verschließt, um die Verbindung zur Unterdruckquelle zu unterbrechen. Nach einer bestimmten Wartezeit werden das Einlassventil sowie das Unterdruckventil geschlossen und das Druckventil sowie das Auslassventil geöffnet. Die Pumpenkammer wird entleert, indem das Pulver mittels Druck herausgepresst wird, der gleichzeitig den Filter im Gegenstrom reinigt. Nach wenigen Sekunden werden Druckventil und Auslassventil erneut geschlossen; der Zyklus kann wieder beginnen.If a suspension is to be conveyed, the latter is sucked in under reduced pressure through the pipe system or inlet pipe connected to the pump chamber, and by means of the filter in the upper part of the pump chamber the particles of the suspension are separated from the liquid and fouling of the float is prevented. The liquid level rises until the float is lifted and closes the open annulus of the sealing ring to break the connection to the vacuum source. After a certain waiting time, the inlet valve and the vacuum valve are closed and the pressure valve and the outlet valve open. The pump chamber is emptied by the powder is pressed out by pressure, which simultaneously cleans the filter in countercurrent. After a few seconds will be Pressure valve and outlet valve closed again; the cycle can start again.
Dieses System ist außerdem aufgabengemäß für das volumetri- sehe Dosieren dieser unterschiedlichen Produkte heranzuziehen; denn das erfindungsgemäße System zur Trennung von Flüssigkeit und Pulver kann im Innenraum der Pumpenkammer verschoben werden, um so deren Volumen zu verändern.This system is also to be used according to the task for the volumetric metering of these different products; because the inventive system for separating liquid and powder can be moved in the interior of the pump chamber, so as to change the volume.
In das Trennungssystem eingefügte O-Ringe erlauben ein Verschieben des Systems und gewähren gleichzeitig die Abdichtung des Systems zur Pumpenkammer hin, deren Volumenveränderung das volumetrische Dosieren ermöglicht. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist, dass die Vorrichtung zwischen dem För- dern zweier unterschiedlicher Pulver durch den Durchlauf von Flüssigkeit gereinigt zu werden vermag, vor allem aber durch Ansaugen von Reinigungsflüssigkeit .Inserted in the separation system O-rings allow a displacement of the system while allowing the seal of the system to the pump chamber, the volume change allows the volumetric dosing. Of particular importance is that the device between the delivery of two different powders can be cleaned by the passage of liquid, but especially by suction of cleaning liquid.

Below the lid 36 and in the upper region of the ridge chamber 38, 38 a , a sealing ring 48 is provided, which the float 50 applies to close the system when sucking liquid in the flow direction x. The automatic system is controlled by a control box and works in the following way:
Fördern von Flüssigkeit:Conveying fluid:
Das vakuumseitige Absperrventil 57a und das Einlassventil 18 sind geöffnet; - mittels des Vakuums wird die Flüssigkeit durch das mit der Pumpenkammer 34 verbundene Einlassrohr 20 angesaugt .The vacuum-side shut-off valve 57 a and the inlet valve 18 are opened; - By means of the vacuum, the liquid is sucked through the inlet pipe 20 connected to the pump chamber 34.
- Das Flüssigkeitsniveau steigt, bis der Schwimmer 50 angehoben wird und sich an den Abdichtring 48 in der Firstkammer 38, 38a anlegt, um die Verbindung zur Vakuumquelle 60 zu unterbrechen. Durch das Vakuum wird die Dichtigkeit der Paarung Abdichtungs- ring/Schwimmer 48/50 gewährleistet.The liquid level rises until the float 50 is raised and abuts the sealing ring 48 in the ridge chamber 38, 38 a to interrupt the connection to the vacuum source 60. The vacuum ensures the tightness of the mating sealing ring / float 48/50.
Nach einem bestimmten Zeitraum werden das Einlassventil 18 und das Unterdruckventil 57a geschlossen sowie das Druckventil 57 und das Auslassventil 19 geöffnet. die Pumpenkammer 34 wird entleert, indem die Flüssigkeit mittels Druck herausgepresst wird.After a certain period of time, the inlet valve 18 and the vacuum valve 57 a are closed and the pressure valve 57 and the outlet valve 19 are opened. The pump chamber 34 is emptied by the liquid is pressed out by pressure.
Nach einigen Sekunden werden Druckventil 57 sowie Auslassventil 19 wieder geschlossen und der Zyklus kann erneut beginnen. Fördern von Pulver:After a few seconds pressure valve 57 and exhaust valve 19 are closed again and the cycle can start again. Conveying powder:
Das vakuumseitige Absperrventil 57a und das Einlassventil 18 sind geöffnet; mittels des Vakuums wird das Pulver durch das mit der Pumpenkammer 34 verbundene Leitungssystem bzw. Einlassrohr 20 angesaugt. - Die Pumpenkammer 34 füllt sich mit Pulver, und der Filter 44 in deren oberem Bereich verhindert, dass feine Partikel in das Vakuumsystem gelangen. Der Schwimmer 50 bleibt in seiner tiefen Stellung gemäß Fig. 3, da die Geschwindigkeit des Fördergases nicht ausreicht, um den Schwimmer 50 anzuheben.The vacuum-side shut-off valve 57 a and the inlet valve 18 are opened; by means of the vacuum, the powder is sucked in through the pipe system 34 connected to the pumping chamber 34. - The pump chamber 34 fills with powder, and the filter 44 in the upper region prevents fine particles enter the vacuum system. The float 50 remains in its low position shown in FIG. 3, since the velocity of the conveying gas is not sufficient to raise the float 50.
Nach einem bestimmten Zeitraum werden das Einlassventil 18 und das Absperr- oder Vakuumventil 57a geschlossen und das Druckventil 58 sowie das Aus- lassventil 19 geöffnet.After a certain period of time, the inlet valve 18 and the shut-off or vacuum valve 57 a are closed and the pressure valve 58 and the outlet valve 19 are opened.
Die Pumpenkammer 34 wird durch den Druck entleert, der gleichzeitig den Filter 44 im Gegenstrom reinigt .The pump chamber 34 is emptied by the pressure, which simultaneously cleans the filter 44 in countercurrent.
- Nach einigen Sekunden werden Druckventil 57 sowie Auslassventil 19 wieder geschlossen und der Zyklus kann erneut beginnen. Fördern einer Suspension:- After a few seconds pressure valve 57 and exhaust valve 19 are closed again and the cycle can start again. Feeding a suspension:
Das Absperr- oder Vakuumventil 57a und das Einlassventil 18 sind geöffnet; - mittels des Vakuums wird die Suspension durch das mit der Pumpenkammer 34 verbundene Leitungssystem bzw. Einlassrohr 20 angesaugt.The shut-off or vacuum valve 57 a and the inlet valve 18 are open; - By means of the vacuum, the suspension is sucked through the connected to the pump chamber 34 line system or inlet pipe 20.
Durch den Filter 44 am oberen Teil der Pumpenkammer 34 werden die Partikel der Suspension von der Flüs¬ sigkeit getrennt und ein Verschmutzen des Schwimmers 50 verhindert. Das Flüssigkeitsniveau steigt, bis der Schwimmer 50 angehoben wird und den offenen Ringraum 49 des Abdichtringes 48 verschließt, um die Verbindung zur Unterdruckquelle 60 zu unterbrechen.Through the filter 44 at the upper part of the pump chamber 34, the particles of the suspension of the flues ¬ sigkeit be separated and prevent soiling of the float 50th The liquid level rises until the float 50 is raised and closes the open annulus 49 of the sealing ring 48 to break the connection to the vacuum source 60.
Nach einem bestimmten Zeitraum werden das Einlassventil 18 sowie das Vakuumventil 57a geschlossen und das Druckventil 58 sowie das Auslassventil 19 geöffnet. Die Pumpenkammer 34 wird entleert, indem das Pulver mittels Druck herausgepresst wird, der gleichzeitig den Filter 44 im Gegenstrom reinigt.After a certain period of time, the inlet valve 18 and the vacuum valve 57 a are closed and the pressure valve 58 and the outlet valve 19 are opened. The pump chamber 34 is emptied by the powder is pressed out by pressure, which simultaneously cleans the filter 44 in countercurrent.
Nach einigen Sekunden werden Druckventil 57 und Auslassventil 19 wieder geschlossen und der Zyklus kann erneut beginnen.After a few seconds pressure valve 57 and exhaust valve 19 are closed again and the cycle can start again.
Dieses System ist außerdem für das volumetrische Dosieren dieser unterschiedlichen Produkte heranzuziehen; denn das erfindungsgemäße System zur Trennung von Flüssigkeit und Pulver wird im Innenraum 35 der Pumpenkammer 34 verschoben, deren Volumen sich verändert.This system is also to be used for the volumetric dosing of these different products; because the system according to the invention for the separation of liquid and powder is displaced in the interior 35 of the pump chamber 34, the volume of which changes.
Der Dichtungswulst 46 und die Ringdichtung 47 des Trennungssystems erlauben dessen Verschieben bei gleichzeitiger Abdichtung zur Pumpenkammer 34 hin, deren Volumenveränderung das volumetrische Dosieren ermöglicht.The sealing bead 46 and the annular seal 47 of the separation system allow its displacement while sealing the pump chamber 34 out, the volume change allows the volumetric dosing.
Bei der Ausgestaltung der Fördervorrichtung 30b der Fig. 4 schließt an deren Sockelbereich 32b ein axiales Ausschlussrohr 12b beliebiger Länge h an, das andernends in ein — in einem Winkel w von beispielsweise 45° zur Vorrichtungs- längsachse A geneigtes — Auslaufrohr 70 übergeht; diesem ist außenseitig ein Vibrator 72 zugeordnet. Dieses Auslaufrohr 70 endet an einem achsparallelen Förderrohr 74, dessen Seitenwand ein -- eine Schließplatte als Schieber 75 tragenden -- Druckteil 76 eines Verschlusselementes 78 durch- greift; jene Schließplatte 75 dient der Regulierung eines Förderstromes an der Mündung des Auslaufrohres 70 und somit der Dosierung des Produktes. Die Schließung des beschriebenen Systems erfolgt durch ein Auslassventil 19b, das am unteren Ende des Förderrohres 74 zu erkennen ist.In the embodiment of the conveying device 30 b of FIG. 4, an axial exclusion tube 12 b of any length h adjoins the base area 32 b , which merges at the other end into an outlet tube 70 inclined at an angle w of, for example, 45 ° to the device longitudinal axis A. ; this is the outside of a vibrator 72 assigned. This outlet pipe 70 terminates at an axis-parallel conveying tube 74, the side wall of which engages through a pressure member 76 of a closure element 78 carrying a closing plate as a slider 75; That closing plate 75 serves to regulate a flow at the mouth of the outlet pipe 70 and thus the dosage of the product. The closure of the described system is effected by an outlet valve 19 b , which can be seen at the lower end of the conveying tube 74.
Das erfindungsgemäße System bzw. seine Organe - kann/können beweglich sein oder aber feststehend. Zu letzterem sei beispielhaft auf Fig. 5, 6 Bezug genommen; in einer büchsenähnlichen Vorrichtung 80 der Fig. 5 lagert eine FiI- terplatte 44a in einem -- außerhalb einer Zylinderwand 82 der Vorrichtung 80 diese umgebenden — ringartigen Rahmen 84, der von zwei Rahmenplatten 86, 86t gehalten wird. Diese kragen seitlich ab und können so durch Auflegen auf ein -- nicht gezeigtes -- Widerlager beispielsweise mittels Schraubenlöcher 87 durchsetzender Schrauben -- festgelegt werden.The system according to the invention or its organs - can / may be movable or fixed. For the latter, reference is made by way of example to FIGS. 5, 6; In a sleeve-like device 80 of FIG. 5, a filter plate 44 a is stored in a cylinder wall 82 outside a cylinder wall 82 the device 80 this surrounding - ring-like frame 84 which is held by two frame plates 86, 86 t . These collar laterally and can be so by laying on a - not shown - abutment, for example, by means of screw holes 87 enforcing screws - set.
Auf der oberen Rahmenplatte 86 ruht ein zylindrischer Behälterabschnitt 88, der durch einen Domdeckel 90 mit -- eine zentrische Öffnung 91 des Durchmessers di umgebenden -On the upper frame plate 86 rests a cylindrical container portion 88, which by a dome cover 90 with - a central opening 91 of the diameter di surrounding -

Dachring 94 mit nach außen abwärts geneigter KantenflächeRoof ring 94 with outwardly inclined edge surface
95 auf, der seinerseits eine zentrische Öffnung 96 geringen95, in turn, a central opening 96 small
Durchmessers d2 enthält, in welcher ein Abdichtring 48 zu erkennen ist sowie über diesem ein Zuführstutzen 98 mit jene Öffnung 96 fortsetzendem Innenraum zum Anschluss des Anschlussrohres 54 mit den von Fördergasleitung 55 und Vakuumleitung 56, also für Über- und Unterdruck.Diameter d 2 contains, in which a Abdichtring 48 can be seen and above this a Zuführstutzen 98 with that opening 96 weiteretzendem interior for connection of the connecting pipe 54 with the conveying gas line 55 and vacuum line 56, ie for positive and negative pressure.
In der unteren Rahmenplatte 86t lagert ein unterer Behäl¬ terabschnitt 88t als zylindrische Kammer, in dessen/deren Innenraum 35a die hier nicht erkennbaren Zuführ- und Entnahmeleitungen 20 bzw. 21 münden; die Behälterabschnitte 88, 88t ergeben eine zylindrische Kammer 34a mit nicht be- wegbarer Filterplatte 44a, oberhalb deren sich ein ebenfalls nicht bewegbares axiales Firstgestell 100 aus -- hier vier — vertikal verlaufenden Stäben 102 erstreckt, das dem Dachring 94 innenseitig zugeordnet ist. Der Durchmesser bi jedes Stabes 102 des Firstgestells 100 entspricht bevorzugt etwa dem Durchmesser b, des die beiden Kugelenden 52 verbindenden Stabes 51 des Schwimmers 50 von etwa 10 mm.In the lower frame plate 86 supports a lower Behäl t ¬ t terabschnitt 88 as a cylindrical chamber, in its / their inner space 35 a which are not seen here, supply and discharge lines 20 and 21 open; The container sections 88, 88 t provide a cylindrical chamber 34 a with non-moveable filter plate 44 a , above which a likewise non-movable axial ridge frame 100 from - here four - vertically extending bars 102 extends, which is assigned to the roof ring 94 on the inside , The diameter bi of each bar 102 of the ridge frame 100 preferably corresponds approximately to the diameter b of the bar 50 connecting the two ball ends 51 of the float 50 of about 10 mm.
An die -- einen inneren Durchmesser f eines Sockelabschnitts 105 der Länge g des Firstgestells bestimmenden -- freien Enden 104 der Stäbe 102 ist nahe dem Rahmen 84 und parallel zu diesem en Lochblech 110 angefügt. In jenem Abstand g zu seinem unteren Stabende 104 bzw. dem Lochblech 110 ist der Stab 102 auf eine kurze Länge gx als Stabab- schnitt 106 in einem Winkel Wi von etwa 30° achswärts geneigt, so dass der innere Durchmesser fi des nach oben folgenden oberen Gestellabschnitts 108 der axialen Länge g2 kürzer ist als der oben erwähnte Durchmesser f. Die Länge g2 ist hier im übrigen kürzer als die halbe Länge g des Sockelabschnitts 104. Eine ebenfalls geringe Länge g3 bieten die Endabschnitte 107 der Stäbe 102 an, die gegenläufig zu jenen Stababschnitten 106 nach außen geneigt und am Dachring 94 innenseitig angeordnet sind.To the - an inner diameter f of a base portion 105 of the length g of the ridge frame defining - free ends 104 of the bars 102 is added near the frame 84 and parallel to this EN punched sheet 110th At that distance g to its lower rod end 104 or the perforated plate 110, the rod 102 is cut to a short length gx as a rod end. section 106 is inclined at an angle Wi of about 30 ° to the axis, so that the inner diameter fi of the upper frame portion 108 of the axial length g 2 following upwards is shorter than the above-mentioned diameter f. The length g2 here is also shorter than half the length g of the base portion 104. A likewise small length g 3 offer the end portions 107 of the bars 102 which are inclined in opposite directions to those bar sections 106 outwardly and the roof ring 94 inside.
Die Pumpenkammer 34b der Fig. 6 unterscheidet sich von der Pumpenkammer 34a der Fig. 5 vor allem durch einen flachen Firstdeckel 89, dem innenseitig der Abdichtring 48 zugeordnet ist; dieser liegt zwischen den geneigten Endabschnitten 107 des Firstgestells 100.The pump chamber 34 b of FIG. 6 differs from the pump chamber 34 a of Figure 5 mainly by a flat ridge cover 89, the inside of the sealing ring 48 is assigned. this is between the inclined end portions 107 of the ridge frame 100th
Im Firstgestell 100 der Fig. 5, 6 befindet sich ein Schwimmorgan bzw. Schwimmer 50a der beispielsweisen Länge z von 150 mm mit beidends des Stabes 51 der Länge Zi von hier 35 mm vorgesehenen Kugelenden 52, 52t unterschiedlichen Durchmessers y, yi von 50 bzw. 65 mm.In the ridge frame 100 of Fig. 5, 6 is a floating organ or float 50 a of the exemplary length z of 150 mm with both ends of the rod 51 of length Zi of here 35 mm provided ball ends 52, 52 t of different diameters y, yi of 50 or 65 mm.
Die Kugelenden 52 bzw. 52t, deren Wanddicke beispielsweise 0,6 mm misst, liegen lose im Firstgestell 100, können aber auch im Bereich ihres jeweiligen Äquators 53 gegebenenfalls den Stäben 102 im Sockelabschnitt 105 bzw. im oberen Gestellabschnitt 108 innenseitig anliegen, so dass der Schwimmer 50a axial geführt wird. Beim Schließvorgang legt sich -- wie oben schon dargelegt und in Fig. 6 angedeutet - - das obere Kugelende 52 dem Abdichtring 48 an und schließt so das offene Ringzentrum 49. In Gegenrichtung begrenzt jenes Lochblech oder Lochgitter 110 den Sinkweg des Schwimmers 50, 50a. The ball ends 52 and 52 t , whose wall thickness measures, for example, 0.6 mm, lie loosely in the ridge frame 100, but may also abut the rods 102 in the base section 105 or in the upper frame section 108 on the inside in the region of their respective equator 53, so that the float 50 a is guided axially. During closing, as already explained above and indicated in FIG. 6, the upper ball end 52 engages the sealing ring 48 and thus closes the open ring center 49. In the opposite direction, that perforated plate or perforated grid 110 limits the sinking path of the float 50, 50 a ,
