The extrusion pumping module according to the present invention may be implemented as follows.
As shown in
The pumping unit 300 includes a plate member 310 in a plate shape, at a center of which a flow hole 314 opened is provided and which is formed to be inclined gradually to one outer side with respect to the flow hole, a coupling member 330 provided so that a pair of the plate members 310 overlap so as to form a space in the inside and the outer circumferences of the pair of plate members 310 are mutually fastened, and a sealing member 320 included between the coupling member 330 and the pair of plate members 310 to perform buffering and sealing.
In the pumping unit 300, as a gap between the pair of plate members 310 is narrowed, the accommodated material accommodated in the inside may be extruded through the flow hole 314, and as the gap between the pair of plate members 310 is distanced, a space on the inner side is widened so that the accommodated material may be introduced.
In addition, the plurality of pumping units 300 is coupled to constitute a pumping module 30 so that flow holes communicate with each other.
Each of the above-described configurations will be described in detail below.
The pumping unit 300 is formed by overlapping a pair of plate members 310, and a space is formed therein.
The space formed inside the pumping unit 300 is exposed to the outside through the flow hole 314 provided in the pair of plate members 310, which are coupled to each other.
Since the pair of plate members 310 are coupled to each other along the outer circumferences thereof, two flow holes 314 are included in one pumping unit 300 and each of the two flow holes 314 may be disposed on the opposite side, respectively.
The unit plate member 310, that is, one plate member 310 is a plate-shaped member at a center of which the flow hole 314 is formed through and has a constant inclination toward the outer side with respect to the flow hole 314.
Therefore, one surface of the plate member 310 protrudes in a convex shape, and the other surface is sunk in a concave shape as shown in
When the pair of plate members 310 are coupled to each other adjacently to their outer circumferences, their concave surfaces are opposed to each other, and thus a predetermined space may be formed on the inside of the pumping unit 300 in which the pair of plate members 310 are coupled.
Each of the plate members 310 may be formed in the form of a disk, at the center of which the flow hole 314 is formed through. The plate member 310 may have various shapes such as a disk shape, a rectangular plate shape, etc. according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied. An embodiment of the present invention will be described as an example in the case of a disk shape.
The plate member 310 in an embodiment of the present invention may be formed of a metal material having elasticity and thus is deformed by an external force, which may be implemented with a material having a property of restoring to its original shape when the external force is removed.
Further, the plate member 310 may further include a first elastic section 312 between the flow hole 314 and the outer circumference thereof, which surrounds continuously the flow hole 314 with a predetermined width.
The first elastic section 312 may have smaller elastic coefficient than that of the material of the plate member 310 such that it may be deformed flexibly due to the external force.
In more detail, the first elastic section 312 may be formed by a part of the plate member 310 being corrugated, and as shown in
The reason why the first elastic section 312 is formed in the form of corrugation is that a part of the plate member 310 is provided to be corrugated such That the plate member may be more flexibly deformed to the external force and higher pressure is applied to the internal accommodated material of the pumping unit 300 and the pumping module 30 formed by the plate members 310 being coupled and further the amount of the accommodated material to be extruded through much volume change of the accommodated material per unit time is increased.
As another example, the first elastic section 312 may be made of the metal material having the same elastic coefficient as that of the plate member 310 wherein the relative thickness becomes thicker gradually toward the flow hole 314 and the outer circumference of the plate member and becomes thinner gradually toward the flow hole 314 and the middle end between the outer circumferences.
At this time, the first elastic section has a relatively thinner thickness and is deformed flexibly to the external force and thus it can conclusively obtain the same effects as the case where it has low elastic coefficient.
The outer circumference of the plate member 310 may be processed to be folded in the convex surface along the circumference and the coupling member 330 may be fastened around the outer surface of the folded portion.
The coupling member 330 is disposed around the outer circumferences of the pair of plate members 310 facing each other and is fastened around the outer circumferences of the folded part through the fastener 340.
A plurality of the fastener 340 may be fastened at a predetermined distance, passing through each of the pair of plate members 310 and the coupling member 330.
Further, the sealing member 320 may be inserted between the plate member 310 and the coupling member 330 to be fastened together through the fastener 340.
The sealing member 320 is disposed continuously along the outer circumference of the plate member 310 and performs buffering and sealing functions between the plate member 310 and the coupling member 330.
The sealing member 320 is implemented as a spacer for performing a buffering function and a sealing member for performing a sealing function and further may be configured in various ways for buffering and sealing according to the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.
The coupling member 330 is a thin plate member and has a long length enough to enclose the entire outer circumference of the plate member 310.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the coupling member 330 also may be made of metal material.
Further, the coupling member 330 may further include a second elastic section 332 which is formed to be long continuously from a middle end of the up and down direction to the left and right direction, assuming that the length direction is a left and right direction.
The second elastic section 332 may be implemented to have lower elastic coefficient than the intrinsic elastic coefficient of the coupling member 330, as in the first elastic section 312.
The second elastic section may be configured to have a thinner thickness than the surroundings, as shown in
At this time, the coupling member 330 which is coupled around the outer circumference of the pair of plate members 310 may be coupled such that a part of the second elastic section 332 which is folded-processed protruding is inserted into between the outer circumferences of the plate member to be coupled each other, without at least some interference.
As another example, the coupling member 330 may be bond-processed by enclosing the outer circumferences of the pair of plate member 310.
The bond-process may utilize a welding for boding metal material by heating and melting and a welding with pressure for applying a strong physical pressure, and various ways may be implemented according to the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.
Further, the first elastic section 312 of the plate member 310 as described above, as shown in
The volume of the internal space provided inside the pumping module 30 can be varied flexibly in response to the external force while the pumping module 30 is compressed or expanded and this effect contributes to increase the amount of the accommodated material to be pumped per unit time.
The extrusion pumping module according to the present invention may be implemented as follows.
As shown in
The pumping unit 300 includes a plate member 310 in a plate shape, at a center of which a flow hole 314 opened is provided and which is formed to be inclined gradually to one outer side with respect to the flow hole 314, and a pair of the plate members 310 overlaps so as to form a space in the inside and the outer circumferences of the pair of plate members 310 are mutually fastened.
At this time, the plate member 310 includes a first elastic section 312 which is curved to one side between the flow hole 314 and the outer circumference, and in the pumping unit 300, as a gap between the pair of plate members 310 is narrowed, the accommodated material accommodated in the inside is extruded through the flow hole 314, and as the gap between the pair of plate members 310 is distanced, the accommodated material is introduced to a space on the inner side is widened so that, and the plurality of pumping units 300 may be coupled so that flow holes communicate with each other.
Each of the above-described configurations will be described in detail below.
The pumping unit 300 is formed by overlapping a pair of plate members 310, and a space is formed therein.
The space formed inside the pumping unit 300 is exposed to the outside through the flow hole 314 provided in each of the pair of plate members 310 which are coupled to each other.
Since the pair of plate members 310 are coupled to each other along the outer circumferences thereof, two flow holes 314 are included in one pumping unit 300 and each of the two flow holes 314 may be disposed on the opposite side, respectively.
The unit plate member 310, that is, one plate member 310 is a plate-shaped member, at a center of which the flow hole 314 is formed with a through hole and has a constant inclination toward the outer side with respect to the flow hole 314.
Therefore, one surface of the plate member 310 protrudes in a convex shape, and the other surface is sunk in a concave shape as shown in
When the pair of plate members 310 are coupled to each other adjacently to their outer circumferences, their concave surfaces are faced to each other, and thus a predetermined space may be formed on the inside of the pumping unit 300 in which The pair of plate members 310 are coupled.
As shown in
The coupling parts 316 of the plate member 310 are coupled through a bonding process, and as shown in
Each plate member 310 may be formed in the form of a disk of a through hole, at the center of which the flow hole 314 is formed. The plate member 310 may have various shapes such as a disk shape, a rectangular plate shape, etc., and it may be a polygonal shape or a circular shape corresponding to the shape of the flow hole 314 and the shape of the outer circumference of the plate member 310 according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied. However, an embodiment of the present invention will be described as an example in the case of a disk shape.
The plate member 310 in an embodiment of the present invention may be formed of a metal material having elasticity and thus is deformed by an external force, which can be implemented with a material having a property of restoring to its original shape when the external force is removed.
As shown in
The elastic section 312 may be curved outwardly each other in a semi-circular shape in the pumping unit 300 in which a pair of plate members 310 are coupled, and as the interval between the plate members 310 coupled facing each other is varied, the external force applied to the coupling part 316 is reduced due to the continuously curved shape of the elastic section and further additional flexibility in changing the interval between the plate members 310 is given.
The elastic section 312 has smaller elastic coefficient than that of the material itself of the plate member 310 such that it may be deformed more flexibly to the external force.
Through this configuration the amount of the accommodated material to be extruded can be increased through much volume change of the accommodated material per unit time while applying higher pressure to the accommodated material within the pumping unit 300 and the pumping module 30 formed by coupling the plate members 310.
The outer circumferences of the plate members 310, that is, the coupling parts 316 are disposed, one face of which is in contact with each other, and a coupling member 330 may be further included to be coupled such that it can be compressed on both sides of each outer surface by the external force.
As shown in
As described above, a plurality of pumping units 300 are coupled to constitute the pumping module 30.
The pumping module 30 is disposed such that the flow holes 314 of each pumping unit 300 included communicate with each other and adjacent pumping units are coupled to each other.
As shown in
In more detail, as shown in
The diaphragm fluid supply device according to the present invention will be implemented as follows.
As described above, a plurality of pumping units 300 are coupled, the pumping module 30 in which the flow holes 314 of each pumping unit 300 are provided so as to communicate with each other is included, and a casing 10 is included, in which an operating shaft 20 which is disposed passing through the communicating flow holes 314 and one end of which is provided to close the flow hole 314 disposed on the outermost of the pumping module 30 is provided, an inflow hole 12 through which accommodated material such as paint is introduced and an outflow hole 14 through which the introduced accommodated material is discharged are provided, a space communicating with the flow hole 314 opposing to the closed flow hole 314 of the pumping module 30 is formed in the inside such that the accommodated material introduced through the inflow hole 12 may flow to the internal space of the pumping module 30.
The operating shaft 20 reciprocates along its length direction to contract or expand the volume of the internal space of the pumping module 30.
At this time, the pumping module 30 is contracted or expanded in response to the external force while a plurality of pumping units 300 constituting the pumping module 30 and a plurality of plate members 310 and coupling members 330 constituting the pumping unit 300 are coupled, respectively.
The diaphragm fluid supply device according to the present invention is shaped wholly as a corrugated pipe to be contracted and expanded.
The reciprocating movement of the operating shaft 20 in a length direction may be performed repeatedly, the volume of the internal space of the pumping module 30 is increased according to the movement of the operating shaft 20, the pressure of the internal space of the pumping module 30 is drops abruptly such that the accommodated material is introduced through the inflow hole 12, the pressure of the internal space of the pumping module 30 is increased abruptly as the volume of the internal space of the pumping module 30 according to the movement of the operating shaft such that the introduced accommodated material is discharged through the outflow hole 14 with a strong pressure.
