Definitions
- the present invention is for a force machine or electric motor of the kind described below
- the force machine is primarily intended to generate a to and fro movement and it is especially useful for the pumping of gases and liquids in various applications
- the object of the invention is a device of the above mentioned kind which at a high efficiency converts supplied energy into desired movement
- Figure 1 is a cross-section of a preferred embodiment or force machine according to the invention and some basic elements of the electrical equipment which belongs thereto
- Figure 2 shows a force machine according to the invention used as a membrane pump
- the force machine shown in cross-section in figure 1 has two membranes 19, 20, and to each of them a corresponding stator 2, 9 shaped as a grid, a thin plate or the like, made from electrically conductive material
- the two membranes are parallel to each other and joined by an electrically insulating hard or stiff supporting material 6
- the mate ⁇ ai ought to have a low weight per volume
- This mate ⁇ ai has essentially the same cross-section as the membranes, and these are mounted to other side of the material
- the membranes are joined to the material all over the surface thereof which is turned towards the membrane, or at points which are evenly distributed over the surface
- Suitable carrying material can be polyurethane foam or other polymer material, having 80-99% air content, and a weight per volume of about 20-200 kg/m 3
- the membranes and stators are mounted in a frame 3 by fastening screws 4, 5, so that stator and mem ⁇ brane in a pair are in electrically conductive contact with each other, while the pairs of
- Pairs of membranes 19, 20 and stators 2, 9 always have the same electrical potential and repel each other with a variable force when the potential varies
- Preferably all changes of voltages to the right and the left side are equal but have opposite directions, i e when the voltage increases on the left side, it decreases on the right side and the membranes are displaced to the right
- a secondary membrane between a membrane and its stator The secondary membrane being an intermediate layer formed by thin lightweight nets or the like 7, 8 Which preferably are made from textile material which is electrically conductive or has been treated to be conductive
- two such nets on the left side of the device These are in electrically conductive contact with one another and with the stator 2, and also through the conductor 1 , with the membrane 20
- the two sides ought to be of the same design, and the number of nets can be varied due to the actual application If for example four nets are positioned on either side, the space between membrane and stator is separated into five equal parts
- the dis ⁇ tance between equal charges is reduced to 1/5 and the force between membrane and stator thereby increases 25-fold In this way relatively large movements having an amplitude up to 50 mm or more can be obtained
- FIG. 2 shows mainly in cross-section a membrane pump having a force machine according to the invention
- Two thin plates, 2, 9 which serve as stators have a number of perforations 39-40
- membranes 31 , 32, 33, 34 preferably made from rubber or other suit ⁇ able flexible material
- the stators 2, 9, comprise circular discs and the perforations 39, 40 and the membranes 31 , 32, 33, 34 are ring-shaped
- the nets between membrane and stator which in figure 1 are shown as two connected nets 7, 8, in this embodiment shown in figure 2, split up in two parts both an outer ring 37 and a middle part 38 between which there is a space in which the valve membranes can
- Figure 2 shows the device in a working situation where the middle part 6 is moving to the right in the figure in the direction which has been marked by an arrow
- the gas which is present in the space be ⁇ tween the movable body 6 and its membrane and the stator 9 is then compressed
- the flexible mem ⁇ brane 31 is forced towards the stator 9 and the openings to the inflow channel 35 are closed by the membrane 31
- Due to the overpressure in the pumping chamber the membrane 33 of the outflow channel 36 opens, and the gas flows out from the pumping chamber through the openings 40
- the space in the pumping chamber expands, and gas is suctioned in through the openings 39
- the movement which is generated by the device can also be transferred to one or more rods or the like members which are mounted on to the membranes, and by this in known ways be connected to outer devices whereby for example a pumping chamber can be arranged electrically insulated from the driv ⁇ ing motor and be used for pumping of electrically conductive liquids
- a pumping chamber can be arranged electrically insulated from the driv ⁇ ing motor and be used for pumping of electrically conductive liquids
- the de ⁇ vice can be used for many different purposes where it can substitute for electrical motors or coils with movable cores, and also be used as a vibrator
