Abstract
The invention relates to a multi-channel peristaltic pump, wherein the housing is constituted by a dimensionally stable support frame (1) and a tube retainer (2) clipped thereto by means of a snap connection. A rotor (3) is provided with three rotatable delivery rolls (33 a, 33 b, 33 c) and is mounted on the support frame (1). The tube retainer (2) is provided with a tube bed body (25) which defines on the inside a tube bed and at the end two legs (2 a, 2 b). Flexible tube sections (43) are received in the tube bed and can be squeezed by the delivery rolls (33 a, 33 b, 33 c) to peristaltically deliver a medium. The two legs (2 a, 2 b) are resiliently elastic so that they can be radially clipped into the support frame (1). The tube bed body (25) has a substantially omega-shaped design and is provided with a continuous inlet and outlet area that ensures a peristaltic delivery of the respective medium with only few pulsations. The inventive pump is compact in design, consists of few components and can be quickly and easily assembled.
Description
- The invention refers to a peristaltic pump according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Peristaltic pumps of the kind discussed herein are fundamentally known. They are used for conveying different liquid and gaseous media.
- A fundamental disadvantage inherent to peristaltic pumps is that the conveying volume is not constant, but pulsates more or less. Moreover, the torque to be delivered by the drive motor per revolution is subject to certain variations; this is not desired as well.
- From the DE 198 14 943 A1, a tube pump of the kind referred to herein is known. The pump is provided with a pump housing, in which the pump tubing as well as a rotor comprising two squeezing means in the form of rollers is received. The two squeezing means are located one diametrically opposite to the other one. In order to enable a conveying operation as continuous as possible, it is proposed to increase the cross sectional area of the pump tubing in the region where it enters the squeezing means. Thereby, in that input region, an increased volume for conveying shall be allocated, and a flow-back of the medium from the outlet region into the pump tubing shall be prevented. Irrespective whether or not the desired effect can be realized with the described characteristics, the torque to be delivered by the drive motor per revolution is subject to substantial variations. Moreover, the manufacture of such pump tubing probably is very complex. Also, care has to be taken that the pump tubing is placed with high positional accuracy into the pump. Since tubes have the tendency to become longer the longer they are used, the danger exists that the enlarged tubing portion dislocates during extended use whereby the desired effect is lost.
- It is the object of the present invention to improve a pump designed according to the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that it provides a conveying with low pulsation, that it is not wearing out rapidly and has a high efficiency, that commercial pump tubing can be used, and that the torque peaks to be delivered by the drive motor per revolution are minimal.
- This object is met with a pump which comprises the characteristics listed in the characterizing portion of claim 1.
- Advantageous further developments of the peristaltic pump are defined in the
dependent claims 2 to 14. - In the following, a preferred embodiment of the invention is further explained by means of drawings. In these drawings is shown in:
-
FIG. 1 an exploded view of the peristaltic pump; -
FIG. 2 the assembled pump according toFIG. 1 in a first cross sectional view; and -
FIG. 3 the assembled pump according toFIG. 1 in a further cross sectional view. -
FIG. 1 shows a six channel peristaltic pump in an exploded view. Substantially, the pump consists of a support frame 1, atubing holder 2, arotor 3 and a connectingelement 4 having sixtubing sections 43 located thereon. Also evident is agear wheel 5 for coupling to a not shown driving motor. - The support frame 1, designed to be dimensionally stable, constitutes, together with the
tubing holder 2, the real housing of the pump. For rotatably supporting therotor 3, the support frame 1 is provided with twobearing sleeves 11. The two front faces of the support frame 1 are constituted bypanels 12, which are provided withslots outs 13 on both sides, in whichnotch elements 22 of thetubing holder 2 are clampingly fixable, as will be described further in the following. - The
tubing holder 2 comprises a tubingbed body member 25, which is designed essentially in the shape of an Omega and which extends at the inner side in the shape of a circular arc coaxial to the axis of rotation of therotor 3 over an angle of appr. 130° to constitute a tubing bed. The expression “in the shape of an omega” means in the present case that the tubingbed body member 25 has substantially the shape of a capital omega (Ω). In the end region, the tubingbed body member 25 presents twolegs like recesses 21 which serve to receive the flexible tube sections. In place of the groove-like recesses 21 for constituting six sections, also a tubing mat, consisting of six tubes connected to each other, could be used. In this case, the tubingbed body member 25 could be provided with a substantially smooth inner side. The twolegs bed body member 25 are provided, on the outer side, withnotch elements 22 by means of which thetubing holder 2 is fixable to the slot-like cut-outs 13 of the support frame 1. The outer side of the tubingbed body member 25 is provided with radially extending reinforcingribs 23 as well as with axially extending reinforcingribs 24. The radially extending reinforcingribs 23 extend along appr. 180° of the outer side of the tubingbed body member 25. In any case, thetubing holder 2 is dimensioned such that the ends of the twolegs bed body member 25 are resiliently flexible in radial direction and make possible a quick fixing of thetubing holder 2 to the support frame 1 in the sense of a snap-on connection. - The
rotor 3 consists of arotor body 31, provided with acentral axis 32 which is inserted into thebearing sleeves 11 of the support frame 1. Threeconveying rollers 33, designed in the shape of barrels, are rotatably supported on therotor body 31. Preferably, therotor body 3 is manufactured of plastic material, while thecentral axis 32 as well as theconveying rollers 33 preferably consist of metal. - The connecting
element 4 consists of abase element 41, to which are fixed twelvepipe sections 42. Attached to the upper portions of thesepipe sections 42 are a total of sixflexible tubing sections 43, which rest on the inner side of the tubingbed body member 25, once the pump is assembled, and which are squeezable by theconveying rollers 33 for the peristaltic conveying of a medium. It is understood that the design of the inlet and the outlet section is not limited to a six channel pump, but the number of the channels is substantially arbitrarily variable. - The assembly of the shown components to a pump can be accomplished with a few simple steps; first, the
particular tubing sections 43 are attached to the connectingelement 4 and then, therotor 3 is transversely moved into thetubing sections 43 forming loops. Thereafter, thetubing holder 2 is U-shapedly positioned and therotor 3, together with the connectingelement 4 and thetubing sections 43 attached thereto are slid in from the top. Subsequently, the support frame 1 is positioned upright and a pressure is applied, such that theaxis 32 of therotor 3 as well as thenotch elements 22 snap in. Finally, theconnecting element 4 is fixed to the support frame 1. In the embodiment shown here, the connectingelement 4 is fixed by means of screws. Alternatively, a snap-on connection can be provided for fixing the connectingelement 4, which ensures a quick connection of the connectingelement 4 to the support frame 1. The entire assembly of the pump can be performed very quickly, without the use of tools, from one side, which constitutes an advantage in the case of an automatic manufacture. -
FIG. 2 shows a first cross sectional view of the assembled pump. In this view, particularly therotor body 31 together with the threeconveyor rolls particular tubing section 43 in a rolling motion, thetubing holder 2 with the omega-shaped tubingbed body member 25 as well as the radial and axial reinforcingribs ribs conveyor rollers reference numeral 35 constitutes the inlet portion, while the region designated byreference numeral 36 constitutes the outlet portion of the pump. Due to the omega shaped design of the tubingbed body member 25 with “soft” inlet portion and outlet portion, a continuous substantially pulsation free conveying of the particular medium is ensured. A further advantage of the soft inlet and outlet portions is the reduction of torque peaks which, otherwise, would load the motor and the gear box. The pump can be operated both in clockwise direction and in counterclock-wise direction. - A soft and continuous inlet portion and outlet portion means that both the
inlet portion 35 and theoutlet portion 36 are designed such that the tubing cross section relevant for conveying is continuously decreased and increased, respectively, by theconveying roller 33 a, 33 c rolling along the particularflexible tubing portion 43. In this connection, it is important that the tubingbed body member 25 is accurately manufactured and that it exhibits a high dimensional stability in operation such that the predetermined distances between conveyingroller bed body member 25 are maintained. - Besides the already mentioned advantage, further advantages result from a continuous inlet portion and outlet portion; for example, the torque fluctuations emerging from the rotation of the
rotor 3 are minimized. This is additionally favored by the facts that therotor 3 is provided with threeconveying rollers inlet portion 35 is offset around the axis of rotation of therotor 3 by about 240° relative to theoutlet portion 36, such that thefirst conveyor roller 33 a is located approximately in the middle of theinlet portion 35 when the third conveyor roller 33 c is located approximately in the middle of theoutlet portion 36. By means of the design shown in the drawings, moreover, a high efficiency is realized and the mechanical load on thetubing sections 43 is reduced, thus increasing their service life. Since the pump is designed symmetrically, it can be operated bi-directionally, i.e. in both senses of rotation. Additionally, as the view shown inFIG. 2 exhibits, that theparticular tubing section 43 is not fully squeezed in theinlet portion 35 and in theoutlet portion 36, while it is fully squeezed after theinlet portion 35 by the correspondingconveyor roller 33 b to enable a peristaltic conveying of the particular medium. A pump designed in such a way is also particularly suitable for conveying fluid media in a way gentle to cells, for example blood, because the blood corpuscles are prevented from damage by the particular design of the inlet andoutlet portions - The design of the
tubing holder 2 with a dimensionally stable tubingbed body member 25 and with elasticallyresilient legs tubing holder 2 into the support frame. Even if thelegs bed body member 25 has to maintain its dimensional stability and a precise geometry. This goal is met, amongst else, by the fact that the elastically resilient parts are positioned and stiffened by means of an outer positive fitting support on the support frame 1. - From
FIG. 3 , showing a cross sectional view of the assembled pump taken between twotubing sections 43, particularly the clamping fixation of the tubingbed body member 25 to the support frame is evident. Thenotch elements 22 located at the outside of the tubingbed body member 25 engage the slot-shaped cut-outs 13 of the support frame 1. More-over, thenotch elements 22 positively engage anupper web 14 of the support frame, delimiting the slot-shaped cut-outs 13. In order to ensure a high stiffness in the flexible region of the tubingbed body member 25 fixed to the support frame 1, thelegs bed body member 25 are positively supported at the outside by theweb 14 of the support frame 1. This design particularly also ensures a precise observation of the optimized distances between theconveyor rollers bed body member 25. - The individual
elastic tubing sections 43 additionally support the fixing of the tubingbed body member 25 at the support frame 1, since theconveyor rollers rotor 3 load the tubingbed body member 25 in radial direction via thetubing sections 43, such that the fixation thereof to the support frame 1 is additionally supported. - The connecting
element 4 is designed such and matched to thetubing holder 2 and to therotor 3 such that theindividual tubing section 43 is led essentially in tangential direction into the tubingbed body member 25 of thetubing holder 2 and also led out there from. - Even if, in the foregoing, reference has made to the embodiment shown in the drawings of a pump with three conveyor rollers, it is understood that the number of conveyor rollers can be practically arbitrarily varied as long as one stays within the scope of the present invention defined in the claims. Thereby, the tubing
bed body member 25 has to enlace therotor 3, depending on the number of conveyor rollers, to such a degree that always at least oneconveyor roller
Enlacement=360°/number of conveyor rollers. - In the case of using such a pump for higher pressure, moreover, it can be advantageous to have always two conveyor rollers engage the flexible tubing section. In this case, the enlacement can be calculated by using the following formula:
Enlacement=2×360°/number of conveyor rollers. - The calculated enlacement is to be understood as a minimal amount of enlacement. Preferably, the enlacement is chosen about 10° higher than the angle of enlacement calculated by means of the foregoing formula. The expression “enlacement” shall be understood as that part of the tubing bed that coaxially surrounds the rotor.
-
- In recapitulation, it may be noticed that a pump designed according to the invention allows a conveying with low pulsation, that it has a high efficiency, is barely subject to wear and shows only low torque variations. Moreover, it is of simple and compact design, consists of few parts and can be assembled from one side quickly and without tools, such that it is also particularly qualified for automatic manufacturing. Also, the housing of the pump, consisting of support frame 1 and
tubing holder 2, shows a high dimensional accuracy and stability after having been assembled. In addition, the pump can be bi-directionally operated and universally used. It is particularly useful for conveying delicate fluids like for example blood, where the corpuscles have to be treated with care.
