  • Patent number: 10724517
    Abstract: A proportional metering pump includes a hydraulic machine, a metering mechanism provided with a nozzle, and a unit for attaching the nozzle to the pipe for access to the cavity inside the hydraulic machine, including a securing ring mounted in rotation about one of the ends of the nozzle, a locking ring mounted so as to be able to translate along the longitudinal axis around the pipe for access to the mixing chamber and is pressed, in the direction of the metering mechanism, against a shoulder created on the access pipe by a spring, the securing ring and the pipe being able to engage following a screw connection at the end of which they are secured in rotation so as to prevent unscrewing of the securing ring. Also disclosed is a method for assembling and disassembling a metering mechanism on a hydraulic machine of such a pump.

  • Patent number: 10551227
    Abstract: Disclosed is a monitored proportional metering device including a liquid metering pump having an inlet, an outlet, a suction nozzle, and a mechanism for adjusting the flow in the nozzle. The metering device is also includes a detection assembly, the assembly including at least a unit for detecting the pressure variation in the nozzle, which unit is arranged between the first suction valve and the mixing chamber, a water meter at the inlet, a probe for measuring the level in the container of material to be suctioned, a unit for determining the position of the mechanism for adjusting the volume to be suctioned, and a man/machine interface for processing, recording, and displaying the data from the detection unit. Also disclosed are methods for monitoring a metering pump implementing the proportional metering device.

  • Patent number: 10247180
    Abstract: A diaphragm pump having a body including a suction connection and a discharge connection, a suction valve and a discharge valve; a control chamber in which the diaphragm is disposed, and a working chamber located on the side of the diaphragm opposite the control chamber; a control pipe suitable for linking the control chamber to a control connection of the body, the control pipe configured to alternately apply a vacuum and a pressure on the diaphragm; the body includes a housing oriented transversely relative to the control pipe, the housing being open towards the outside at one end, and closed at the other end by a bottom including a suction opening and a discharge opening, the diaphragm being positioned close to the bottom, and held by a cap engaged in the housing, the cap having a recess forming the control chamber, linked to a passage communicating with the control pipe.

  • Patent number: 9689765
    Abstract: A liquid metering pump includes an intake nozzle (2) provided with an intake valve (3) communicating with a working chamber (4) in which a piston (5) can be moved in an alternating translation movement, suction being produced, with the intake valve open, when the piston moves away from the nozzle, and delivery being produced, with the intake valve closed and liquid emerging through an outlet valve, when the piston moves towards the nozzle. The pump includes, between the intake valve (3) and the working chamber (4), a device (D) for detecting the variation in pressure, the device (D) including a duct (10), which is connected at one end to the working chamber (4) and is provided at its other end with the intake valve (3), and an element (11) which is sensitive to the pressure in the duct, the element (11) being mounted in the wall of the duct.

  • Patent number: 9303634
    Abstract: Proportional dosimeter including a metering body with a main liquid inlet (2) and an outlet (3), a hydraulic motor (4) housed in the body, actuated by the main liquid, and connected to a plunger piston (5) that moves in a first chamber (6), the piston plunger drawing in fluid in an outbound stroke, a check valve provided to allow liquid to pass to the interior volume of the body when the pressure in the first chamber exceeds a certain pressure, during the return stroke; the dosimeter includes a second chamber (12) of variable volume bounded by a membrane subjected to the pressure in the first chamber, the second chamber including an intake orifice (20) for the auxiliary liquid and a delivery orifice (23) for the auxiliary liquid, this delivery orifice being connected by a pipe (26) to an injection chamber (S) situated downstream of the outlet of the dosimeter body.
