  • Patent number: 11933313
    Abstract: A pump comprises: at least one rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation; a pump housing surrounding the rotor, wherein a pump channel is formed between a radially inner surface of the pump housing and a radially outer surface of the rotor; and a seal assembly that seals the pump channel to an end surface of the rotor. The seal assembly comprises: a sliding surface which is provided on one of the rotor and the pump housing and which extends perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor; a static surface provided on the other of the rotor and the pump housing; and a first elastomer element attached to the static surface and pressed against the sliding surface in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 11098713
    Abstract: A pump includes a rotor and a pump housing. The rotor is rotatable about a rotation axis and comprises a rotor hub and a rotor collar. The rotor collar extends from the rotor hub in the radial direction and encircles the rotor hub in an undulating manner. The pump housing comprises a first axial housing component, a central annular housing component, and a second axial housing component. A pump duct is formed (i) in the axial direction by the first and second housing components and (ii) in the radial direction by the central annular housing component and the rotor.

  • Patent number: 10830234
    Abstract: A pump includes a rotor, a pump housing, and a blocking device. The rotor is rotatable about a rotation axis and comprises a rotor hub and a rotor collar that extends from the rotor hub in a radial direction and encircles the rotor hub in an undulating manner. The pump housing forms a pump duct with the rotor. The pump duct connects a first inlet/outlet space to a second inlet/outlet space. The blocking device is arranged between the first and second inlet/outlet spaces and comprises a blocking element that blocks the pump duct in an axial direction on both sides of the rotor collar. The blocking device has first and second seats for the blocking element. A spacing between the first and second seats in a circumferential direction is greater than the spacing between first and second contacting faces of the blocking element in the circumferential direction.
