  • Publication number: 20220205442
    Abstract: A position detection device determines the position of the diaphragm or the drive piston of an electric-motor-driven diaphragm pump, in particular, by detecting the upper and lower reversal point (Po, Pu) in the movement curve of the diaphragm of the diaphragm pump. A diaphragm is actuated by a drive connecting rod to close a conveying chamber with valves provided on an inlet and outlet side. The volume can be changed between a minimum and maximum volume. A rotational movement of an electric motor, with a rotor, is converted into the actuation movement of the drive connecting rod via the effect of the eccentrics. The position detection device detects the load curve of the diaphragm pump during the movement of the diaphragm. An evaluation device determines at least the position of the upper and lower reversal point of the diaphragm from the load curve.
