- the medium is conveyed in the annular channel 30 between the inner tube 9 and the outer tube 11 upwards and enters the closure element 6. From here, this medium flows through the respective dispensing hose coupling into the dispensing hose.
- the container pump 10 After removing the drive motor 32, the container pump 10 is not or only a little above the screw ring 20, so that there is the possibility, in spite of inserted container pump 10, the containers 1, for example, to stack. As it turned out Fig. 6 shows, sitting on the rotor shaft coupling piece 45 is only slightly above the screw ring 20, so that the stackability of the containers 1 is not impaired.
- the couplings for connecting the dispensing hose can also be removed.
- a lid can be placed on the closure element 6 for safety reasons, to avoid contamination of the coupling parts, for example, during transport of the container safely. Since the container pump 10 can remain in the container 1 during transport, contamination of the medium in the container is excluded.
- the container pump 10 may also be equipped without an inner tube.
- the rotor shaft must then consist of such a material that is resistant to the medium to be pumped.
- the container pump 10 may be formed in a known manner.
- a self-priming pump can be used. It is located outside of the container 1 and has a suction hose which, like the dispensing hose, is connected with a coupling piece to the coupling piece fastened in the opening 16.
- the outer tube 11 serves as a suction tube, through which the medium is pumped to the closure element 16 and from there into the suction hose.
- the container pump 10 may remain in the container 1 when using the self-priming pump. Then the medium is pumped up in the annular channel 30. However, the inner tube 9 can also be pulled out, so that the medium is pumped through the outer tube 11 in the manner described above.
- the opening 15 is closed in this case by a lid.
- a safety device e.g. a seal to secure against unauthorized removal.

Bei einer bekannten Behälterpumpe (
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die gattungsgemäße Behälterpumpe so auszubilden, dass mit ihr ein problemloses Auspumpen von Behältnissen möglich ist.The invention has the object of providing the generic container pump in such a way that with her problem-free pumping of containers is possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei der gattungsgemäßen Behälterpumpe erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in the generic container pump according to the invention with the characterizing features of
Die erfindungsgemäße Behälterpumpe, die vorzugsweise zum Fördern von Harnstoff vorgesehen ist, ist mit dem Verschlusselement versehen, mit dem eine Öffnung im auszupumpenden Behältnis verschlossen werden kann. Um ein solches Behältnis auszupumpen, wird der Deckel der Behälteröffnung entfernt und die erfindungsgemäße Behälterpumpe eingesetzt. Ihr Verschlusselement verschließt nunmehr die Behälteröffnung, so dass ein problemloses Auspumpen gewährleistet ist. Es ist auch möglich, die Behälterpumpe bereits beim Befüllen des Behältnisses einzusetzen. Dies ist insbesondere bei sehr empfindlichen Medien von Vorteil. Dann kann die Behälterpumpe zunächst einwandfrei gereinigt werden, so dass eine unerwünschte Kontaminierung der Medien durch an der Behälterpumpe anhaftende Bestandteile, die mit dem Medium reagieren könnten, sicher vermieden wird. Das Verschlusselement ist als Hohlkörper ausgebildet, der durch den Boden, den Deckel und die diese verbindende Seitenwand begrenzt wird. Der Boden und der Deckel des Verschlusselementes haben die Öffnung für den Durchtritt der Behälterpumpe. Zusätzlich ist der Deckel mit einer weiteren Öffnung versehen, in der ein Kupplungsstück befestigt werden kann, mit dem ein Zapfschlauch angeschlossen wird.The container pump according to the invention, which is preferably provided for conveying urea, is provided with the closure element with which an opening in the container to be evacuated can be closed. Around To empty such a container, the lid of the container opening is removed and the container pump according to the invention is used. Your closure element now closes the container opening, so that a trouble-free pumping is guaranteed. It is also possible to use the container pump already when filling the container. This is particularly advantageous for very sensitive media. Then the container pump can be properly cleaned first, so that an undesirable contamination of the media by adhering to the container pump components that could react with the medium, is safely avoided. The closure element is designed as a hollow body, which is bounded by the bottom, the lid and the side wall connecting them. The bottom and the lid of the closure element have the opening for the passage of the container pump. In addition, the lid is provided with a further opening in which a coupling piece can be attached, with which a dispensing hose is connected.

Mit einer Behälterpumpe wird der Inhalt eines Behältnisses 1 ausgepumpt, der aus jedem geeigneten Material, insbesondere aus Kunststoff, bestehen kann. Das Behältnis 1 befindet sich in einem Käfig 2, der das Behältnis an allen Seiten umschließt und abstützt. Der Käfig 2 besteht aus einzelnen Käfigstäben 3, die an Seitenwänden des Behältnisses 1 mit Abstand voneinander liegen und einander kreuzend angeordnet sind. Die an den Seitenwänden des Behältnisses 1 befindlichen Käfigstäbe 3 sind mit ihrem unteren Ende an einer rahmenartigen Auflage 4 befestigt, auf welcher das Behältnis 1 aufsteht.With a container pump, the contents of a
Das Behältnis 1 hat an seiner Oberseite eine Öffnung 5, die durch einen Deckel verschließbar ist. Um den Behälterinhalt auszupumpen, wird der Deckel entfernt und in die Öffnung 5 eine Behälterpumpe 10 eingesetzt. Sie hat ein Verschlußelement 6, das bei eingesetzter Behälterpumpe 10 die Öffnung 5 dicht verschließt. Das Verschlußelement 6 ist als Hohlkörper ausgebildet (
Die Öffnung 5 wird durch einen hochgestellten Rand 18 (
Wie
Der Käfig 2 sowie das Behältnis 1 sind an sich bekannt und werden darum auch nicht näher erläutert. Durch den Käfig 2 wird ein Ausbeulen des Behältnisses 1 in gefülltem Zustand verhindert. Die Käfigstäbe 3, 25 haben geringe Dicke, sind bandförmig ausgebildet und bestehen aus Metall. Das Behältnis 1 wird mit der Auflage 4, die als umlaufender Ring ausgebildet ist, auf eine Unterlage 26 aufgesetzt, die ebenfalls an sich bekannt ist und darum auch nicht näher erläutert wird. Die Unterlage 26 hat einen umlaufenden Ringteil 27, der in bezug auf die Außenseite 28 der Unterlage geringfügig zurücksteht (
Die Behälterpumpe 10 ist in bekannter Weise ausgebildet und hat das Innenrohr 9, in dem die (nicht dargestellte) Pumpenwelle drehbar abgestützt ist. Sie trägt am unteren Ende einen Rotor 29. Das Innenrohr 9 wird über den größten Teil seiner Länge vom Außenrohr 11 mit Abstand umgeben. Auf diese Weise wird zwischen dem Innenrohr 9 und dem Außenrohr 11 ein Ringkanal 30 gebildet, in dem das im Behältnis 1 befindliche Medium nach oben in das Verschlußelement 6 gefördert wird. Aus diesem Grunde ist der Durchmesser der Durchtrittsöffnung 8 größer als der Außendurchmesser des Innenrohres 9. Das Außenrohr 11 weist am unteren Ende Ansaugöffnungen 31 auf, durch die das Medium im Behältnis 1 in den Ringkanal 30 gepumpt wird. Die Pumpenwelle ist am oberen Ende in Höhe des Flansches 21 des Schraubringes 20 mit einem Kupplungsteil 45 versehen, das mit einem (nicht dargestellten) Kupplungsteil auf einer Motorwelle des Antriebsmotors 32 in Eingriff ist. Über diese Kupplung kann der Antriebsmotor 32, der vorteilhaft ein Elektromotor ist, auf die Behälterpumpe 10 aufgesteckt oder von ihm abgezogen werden. Der Antriebsmotor 32 ist über einen Verdrehschutz, zum Beispiel eine Arretierung, gegen Verdrehen beim Anlaufen gesichert. Er kann auch durch eine Überwurfmutter in bekannter Weise verdrehgesichert werden. Der Antriebsmotor 32 sitzt so auf der Behälterpumpe 10, daß er sich oberhalb der Oberseite des Behältnisses 1 über den Schraubring 20 hinaus erstreckt. Vorteilhaft ist zwischen der Behälterpumpe 10 und dem Antriebsmotor 32 ein hülsenförmiger Abstandhalter 33 vorgesehen, durch den gewährleistet ist, daß der Antriebsmotor 32 mit ausreichendem Abstand oberhalb des Flansches 21 des Schraubringes 20 liegt.The
Um einen Längentoleranzausgleich der Behälterpumpe 10 zu erreichen, ist am unteren Ende des Außenrohres 11 vorteilhaft ein Faltenbalg 34 vorgesehen, der über das untere Ende des Außenrohres 11 vorsteht. Je nach Höhentoleranz des Behältnisses 1 wird der Faltenbalg 34 mehr oder weniger weit axial elastisch zusammengedrückt. Auf diese Weise läßt sich die Behälterpumpe 10 einfach so in das Behältnis 1 einsetzen, daß der Faltenbalg 34 auf dem Boden 12 des Behältnisses 1 aufliegt. In diesem Falle sind die Ansaugöffnungen 31 in der Seitenwand des Faltenbalges 34 vorgesehen. Das Außenrohr 11 endet hierbei mit Abstand oberhalb der Ansaugöffnungen 31. Der Faltenbalg 34 ist nach unten offen, so daß das Medium durch dieses Ende gepumpt werden kann, wenn der Faltenbalg 34 Abstand vom Boden 12 des Behältnisses 1 hat.In order to achieve a length tolerance compensation of the
Die Behälterpumpe 10 wird mit dem Schraubring 20 am Behältnis 1 befestigt, so daß sie beim Transport des Behältnisses nicht herausgezogen werden muß. Lediglich der Antriebsmotor 32 und der Zapfschlauch werden abgezogen.The
In der Öffnung 16 des Deckelteiles 14 wird ein Kupplungsstück 36 befestigt, das mit einem Gegenkupplungsstück 37 verbunden werden kann. An das Gegenkupplungsstück wird ein Zapfschlauch angeschlossen, über den das von der Behälterpumpe 10 gepumpte Medium ausgetragen wird. Das Gegenkupplungsstück 37 hat einen um eine horizontale Achse 38 schwenkbaren Verschlußhebel 39, mit dem das Gegenkupplungsstück 37 nach dem Aufschieben fest mit dem Kupplungsstück 36 verbunden werden kann. Die beiden Kupplungsstücke 36, 37 sind bekannt und werden darum auch nicht näher erläutert.In the

Es ist schließlich auch möglich, in der Öffnung 16 des Behältnisses 1 ein Kupplungsstück 43 zu befestigen, auf das mit einer Überwurfmutter 48 ein Gegenkupplungsstück 44 geschraubt werden kann, an dem das Ende des Zapfschlauches befestigt ist.Finally, it is also possible to fasten in the
Wird das Gegenkupplungsstück 44 mit dem Zapfschlauch abgeschraubt, wird auf das Kupplungsstück 43 als Deckel eine geschlossene Überwurfmutter 49 geschraubt.If the
Außer den beispielhaft beschriebenen Kupplungen können auch andere bekannte Kupplungssysteme zum Anschluß des Zapfschlauches verwendet werden.In addition to the couplings described as an example, other known coupling systems can be used to connect the dispensing hose.
Die Öffnung 5 des Behältnisses 1 ist zunächst mit einem Deckel geschlossen, der auf den Rand 18 geschraubt ist. Um den Behälterinhalt auspumpen zu können, wird der Deckel abgeschraubt und in die Öffnung 5 die Behälterpumpe 10 eingesetzt. Das einstückig mit dem Außenrohr 11 ausgebildete Verschlußelement 6 der Behälterpumpe 10 liegt unter der Zwischenlage der Ringdichtung 22 mit seinem Flansch 19 auf der Stirnseite des Randes 18 auf. Anschließend wird die Behälterpumpe 10 durch Aufschrauben des Schraubringes 20 auf den Rand 18 am Behältnis 1 befestigt. Es ist nur noch der Antriebsmotor 32 auf die montierte Behälterpumpe aufzusetzen, um den Behälterinhalt auspumpen zu können. Der Zapfschlauch ist über eine der Kupplungen mit dem Verschlußelement 6 dicht verbunden. Durch Einschalten des Antriebsmotors 32 wird die Rotorwelle gedreht, so daß der Rotor 29 das Medium über die Ansaugöffnungen 31 pumpt. Das Medium wird im Ringkanal 30 zwischen dem Innenrohr 9 und dem Außenrohr 11 nach oben gefördert und gelangt in das Verschlußelement 6. Von hier aus strömt dieses Medium über die jeweilige Zapfschlauchkupplung in den Zapfschlauch.The
Nach dem Abnehmen des Antriebsmotors 32 steht die Behälterpumpe 10 nicht oder nur wenig über den Schraubring 20 vor, so daß die Möglichkeit besteht, trotz eingesetzter Behälterpumpe 10 die Behältnisse 1 beispielsweise zu stapeln. Wie sich aus
Nach dem Abnehmen des Antriebsmotors 32 kann aus Sicherheitsgründen ein Deckel auf das Verschlußelement 6 gesetzt werden, um ein Verschmutzen der Kupplungsteile beispielsweise beim Transport des Behältnisses sicher zu vermeiden. Da beim Transport die Behälterpumpe 10 im Behältnis 1 bleiben kann, ist eine Verschmutzung des im Behältnis befindlichen Mediums ausgeschlossen.After removing the
Die Behälterpumpe 10 kann auch ohne Innenrohr ausgestattet sein. Die Rotorwelle muß dann aus einem solchen Material bestehen, das gegen das zu pumpende Medium beständig ist.The
Im übrigen kann die Behälterpumpe 10 in bekannter Weise ausgebildet sein.Moreover, the
Anstelle der Behälterpumpe 10 kann auch eine selbstansaugende Pumpe eingesetzt werden. Sie befindet sich außerhalb des Behältnisses 1 und hat einen Saugschlauch, der ähnlich wie der Zapfschlauch mit einem Kupplungsstück an das in der Öffnung 16 befestigte Kupplungsstück angeschlossen wird.
