Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of solid-liquid separation and relates to a liquid-driven multi-cylinder double-acting variable piston diaphragm pump. BACKGROUND

[0002] The filter press has become a general device widely used in the field of solid-liquid separation due to its simple process, high filtration efficiency and low operation cost. However, the filter press is a process device, and a feeding pump is needed to pump the feed slurry to realize the filter pressing operation. In the initial stage of the filter pressing operation, the feed flow is large and the pressure is low. In the later stage of the filter pressing operation, the feed flow gradually becomes small and the feed pressure gradually increases until the constant pressure is maintained, that is, the filter pressing operation is a constant-speed-constant-pressure filtration process.

[0003] For a long time, the centrifugal pump has been used as the filter press feeding pump. The flow and pressure of the centrifugal pump are related to the rotating speed of the centrifugal pump impeller, and it is difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of the constant-speed-constant-pressure filter pressing operation. Only the excess flow can be discharged back to the slurry tank in the later constant-pressure filtration stage, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption. In recent years, based on the characteristics that the output flow and pressure of the reciprocating pump are not related and can be controlled respectively, a vertical or horizontal reciprocating feeding pump has been developed. Both of them directly introduce the pumped slurry into the working chamber of the reciprocating pump, and then discharge it at a certain pressure by the plunger or piston. Due to the wide application of the filter press, the slurry usually has corrosive, abrasive or high-temperature properties, which makes the working chamber, plunger and piston of the reciprocating pump easily corroded or worn, especially the sealing ring of the plunger or piston becomes a vulnerable part, which directly affects the performance, reliability and service life of the reciprocating pump. Moreover, the working cylinders of the reciprocating pump need to be arranged side by side, and it is not suitable to make multiple cylinders, which increases the pulsation rate of the slurry entering the filter press, makes the filter press filter plate bear asymmetric pulsating impact load, reduces the service life of the filter plate or damages the filter plate. In addition, the existing vertical or horizontal reciprocating feeding pump uses a hydraulic oil cylinder to drive the working plunger or piston to reciprocate, and the frequent reciprocating of the working oil cylinder will cause a certain energy loss. Furthermore, the reciprocating pump with large flow has a relatively large size. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a liquid-driven multi-cylinder double-acting variable piston diaphragm pump to solve the problems of the existing reciprocating pump, and provides a new filter press feeding pump technology for the field of solid-liquid separation with energy-saving and high-reliability technical characteristics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0032] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this invention provides a hydraulically driven multi-cylinder double-acting variable piston diaphragm pump, which includes a pump base 1, a power end 2, a hydraulic cylinder 3, a diaphragm tank 4, a buffer tank 5, a suction valve 6, a discharge valve 7, a suction pipe 8, a discharge pipe 9, a connecting pipe 10, and a fluid medium tank 18. The power end 2, the hydraulic cylinder 3, the diaphragm tank 4, and the buffer tank 5 are placed on the pump base 1. The power end 2 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 3. The diaphragm tank 4 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 3 through the connecting pipe 10. The suction valve 6 and the discharge valve 7 are connected to the upper and lower flanges 19 of the diaphragm tank 4, respectively. The lower suction valve 6 is connected to the suction pipe 8, and the upper discharge valve 7 is connected to the discharge pipe 9. The discharge pipe 9 is connected to the buffer tank 5.

[0033] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 The power end 2 includes a transmission housing 11, an end cover 12, a hydraulic station 13, an electrical control cabinet 14, an oil motor 15, a swashplate mechanism 16, and a lubrication system 17.

[0034] The electrical control cabinet 14 controls the hydraulic station 13, driving the output shaft of the power end 2 oil motor 15 to rotate. This rotation, via spline connection 21, drives the crankshaft 22 of the swashplate mechanism 16 to rotate. The first rolling bearing 23 supporting the crankshaft 22 is coaxially fixed to the transmission housing 11 and the end cover 12. The rotation of the crankshaft 22, through the second rolling bearing 24 mounted thereon, enables the spatial swing of the three-jaw swashplate 25. Each jaw of the three-jaw swashplate 25 is connected to a circular hinged slider 26. The hinged slider 26 is placed in the crosshead hole of the connecting rod 27, driving the connecting rod 27 to reciprocate horizontally along the slide hole of the transmission housing 11. One of the bottom connecting rod 27 extensions 28, together with the transmission housing 11, forms a reciprocating lubricating oil pump. Figure 5 As shown in the cross-sectional view CC, the reciprocating lubricating oil pump inlet pipe 29 is connected to the pump body 30 and the bottom lubricating oil pool of the power end 2 respectively. A sealing ring 32 is provided between the connecting rod extension section 28 and the pump body 30. When the connecting rod extension section 28 reciprocates with the connecting rod 27, it drives the steel ball 33 to rise or fall on the conical ball seat of the pump body 30, periodically completing the oil suction from the inlet pipe 29 and the oil discharge through the oil pipe 31. The discharged oil is sprayed downward through the oil injection hole 34 at the top of the power end 2 to lubricate the hinged slider 26 and bearing 24 of the high-position connecting rod 27 reciprocating.

[0035] like Figure 6 and Figure 7The liquid cylinder body 3 comprises a cylinder body 35 and a piston mechanism 36. The flange 37 at the front end of the cylinder body 35 is bolted to the end cover 12 of the power end 2, so that the power end 2 and the liquid cylinder body 3 are coaxially connected as a whole. The cylinder body 35 is provided with cylinder barrels 38 which are the same in number as the claws of the swash plate mechanism 16 and coaxial with the connecting rods 27. Each cylinder barrel is provided with a cylinder barrel cover 39 and a sealing groove 40. The piston ring 41 of the piston mechanism 36 is fixed to the piston rod 42. The circumference of the piston ring 41 is provided with a sealing ring 43 which cooperates with the cylinder barrel 38. The sealing groove 40 is provided with a sealing ring 44 which cooperates with the piston rod 42. The other end of the piston rod 42 is connected to the connecting rod 27 of the power end 2 through a connecting ring 45, so as to drive the piston of the piston mechanism 36 to reciprocate in the cylinder barrel 38. The two ends of the piston reciprocating in the cylinder barrel 38 are provided with connecting flanges 46.

[0036] As Figure 8 The diaphragm tank 4 comprises a tank body 47, a tank body cover 48, a diaphragm 49, a range-limiting screen plate 50 and a combination valve 51. The diaphragm 49 is fixed to the tank body 47 through circumferentially distributed studs. The tank body 47 is provided with a flange 52. The connecting pipe 10 is connected to the flanges 46 and 52, so as to connect each diaphragm tank to the cavity at the two ends of the piston reciprocating in the cylinder barrel 38. The reciprocating movement of the piston ring 41 causes the positive and negative pressure in the cavities at the two sides of the piston ring 41 in the cylinder barrel 38 to change alternately, so as to drive the fluid medium in the cavities to cause the diaphragm 49 to periodically deform concave-convex between the tank body cover 48 and the range-limiting screen plate 50.

[0037] The suction valve 6 and the discharge valve 7 each comprise a valve body 53. The suction valve 6 and the discharge valve 7 are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the diaphragm tank 4 through flanges.

[0038] When the diaphragm 49 deforms concave to the right, the valve ball 55 of the discharge valve 7 falls on the valve seat 56, and the valve ball 55 of the suction valve 6 rises below the range-limiting frame 57. The cavity between the tank body cover 48 and the diaphragm 49 of the diaphragm tank 4 is under negative pressure, and the slurry material from the suction pipe 8 is sucked in. When the diaphragm 49 deforms convex to the left, the valve ball 55 of the suction valve 6 falls on the valve seat 56, and the valve ball 55 of the discharge valve 7 rises below the range-limiting frame 57. The cavity between the tank body cover 48 and the diaphragm 49 of the diaphragm tank 4 is under positive pressure, and the sucked slurry is discharged and flows into the buffer tank 5 through the discharge pipe 9, and then is output from the outlet of the buffer tank 5.

[0039] During the actual operation of the reciprocating pump, due to the fact that absolute sealing cannot be achieved, when the positive and negative pressure in the cavities at the two ends of the reciprocating piston ring 41 changes alternately, fluid medium leakage or air suction may occur, which causes the working volume of the medium to decrease, the concave-convex deformation amount of the diaphragm 49 to decrease, and thus the volumetric efficiency and the flow of the pump to decrease. Therefore, the combination valve 51 is arranged at each end of the reciprocating piston ring 41, so as to combine the fluid medium supplement, air discharge and overpressure safety protection into one.

[0040] The combination valve 51 includes a top plate 58, a lever mechanism 59, a top rod, a compensation spring 61, a compensation valve plate 62, a compensation valve ball 63, a filter 64, a safety spring 65, a safety valve plate 66, a combination valve body and a combination valve support. The combination valve 51 is placed in the fluid medium tank 18 through the combination valve body and the combination valve support, and is in sealed connection with the flange 20 of the tank body 47 of the diaphragm tank 4.

[0041] When the negative pressure of the piston working cavity side, the diaphragm 49 is concave and contacts the top plate 58, drives the lever mechanism 59 to push the top rod, overcomes the pressure of the compensation spring 61 to open the compensation valve plate 62, so that the fluid medium replaces the gas in the piston cavity, and the compensation valve ball 63 rises at the same time, and the fluid medium is supplemented into the combination valve body from the fluid medium tank 18 through the filter 64; when the positive pressure of the piston working cavity side, the diaphragm 49 is convex, the compensation valve ball 63 falls, and the new fluid medium is stopped; when the overpressure of the piston working cavity side, the compensation spring 61 and the safety spring 65 are overcome, the compensation valve plate 62 and the safety valve plate 66 are opened, and the overpressure fluid medium is discharged into the fluid medium tank 18.

[0042] The working fluid medium can be emulsion or hydraulic oil, and the diaphragm material can be selected from neoprene rubber, chloroprene rubber, polyurethane rubber, fluorine rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene according to the corrosion, abrasion or high temperature of the transported slurry.

[0043] The pressure transmitter 67 assembly is arranged on the output pipeline of the buffer tank 5, feeds back the pressure signal to the electric control cabinet 14, controls the hydraulic station 13, adjusts the output rotating speed of the driving oil motor, and matches the corresponding demand flow.

[0044] According to the working principle and structure of the present application, the swash plate mechanism with different claw numbers can be used to design more than three-cylinder double-acting piston diaphragm pumps.
