Publication number: 20150300331Abstract: A pump mechanism includes a crankshaft defining a crankshaft longitudinal axis therethrough; three cylinders arranged around the crankshaft, each of the three cylinders defining a cylinder longitudinal axis therethrough, each cylinder longitudinal axis extending away from the crankshaft in a substantially radial direction, adjacent cylinder longitudinal axes enclosing predetermined angles (Wz) about the crankshaft longitudinal axis; and a piston corresponding to each of the three cylinders. Each crank has a predetermined angular offset (WK) relative to an adjacent crank, and the predetermined angular offset (WK) is selected in accordance with the predetermined angles (Wz), in such a way that phase shifts between each piston and a sequentially actuated piston during a rotation of the crankshaft are equally large. A sum of the predetermined angles (Wz) between adjacent cylinder longitudinal axes, over all of the cylinder longitudinal axes, is less than or equal to 180 degrees.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2015Publication date: October 22, 2015Inventor: Dirk PETERSEN

Patent number: 9097249Abstract: A pump mechanism having multiple cylinders, whose axes are situated around a crankshaft to enclose predetermined angles, and whose pistons are each functionally connected to a connecting rod mounted on a crank on the crankshaft, each connecting rod being mounted on its own crank and the cranks having a predetermined angular offset to one another. This angular offset of the cranks is selected in accordance with the angle which the cylinder axes enclose in such a way that the phase shifts between each two pistons of the cylinders actuated in sequence during a rotation of the crankshaft are equally large.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: BRAN+LUEBBE GMBHInventor: Dirk Petersen

Patent number: 8360750Abstract: The present invention relates to a pump device with a first diaphragm pump head having two or an integral multiple of two fluid delivery chambers and diaphragms associated therewith, which are hydraulically coupled to a second diaphragm pump head. The second diaphragm pump head has two additional fluid delivery chambers and additional membranes associated therewith, which are drivable by a double-acting piston via associated diaphragm control chambers, a refilling valve being connected in each case to the diaphragm control chambers and the diaphragm control chambers being temporarily impinged with a diaphragm control pressure, which is greater than atmospheric pressure, using the refilling valve. The piston may thus be activated using a relatively small force to achieve a delivery action.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2007Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Bran+Luebbe GmbHInventors: Bernd Ferk, Gunnar Gode, Henning Ladiges, Dirk Petersen, Uwe Schade, Wilfried Tille

Publication number: 20130017101Abstract: The present invention relates to a pump device having a diaphragm pump head with two fluid delivery chambers, each fluid delivery chamber having a corresponding control chamber separated from the fluid delivery chamber by an associated diaphragm, a piston chamber in fluid communication with both fluid delivery chambers, and a double-acting piston assembly provided in the piston chamber and defining a single piston head that simultaneous acts upon both of the corresponding control chambers to drive the associated diaphragms.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Applicant: Bran+Luebbe GmbHInventors: Bernd Ferk, Gunnar Gode, Henning Ladiges, Dirk Petersen, Uwe Schade

Patent number: 4573885Abstract: In a piston diaphragm pump, comprising housing portions clamped together by clamping bolts, a diaphragm, sealingly clamped between adjacent housing portions for separating a feeding chamber from a working chamber, and a reciprocating piston acting in said working chamber filled with hydraulic medium for deflecting the diaphragm to change the volume of the feeding chamber, there is provided at least one supporting member to be screwed to a respective supporting thread in one of said housing portions so as to project towards another housing portion by a distance depending on its screwed position and to abut in the assembled position against an abutment surface on said other housing portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1985Date of Patent: March 4, 1986Assignee: Bran & Lubbe GmbHInventor: Dirk Petersen

Patent number: 4465438Abstract: A piston diaphragm pump includes a support plate, disposed on the side of the piston work chamber, for the diaphragm, which is held in a freely movable manner counter to the pressure of a plurality of springs engaging its circumference. A control push rod under the pressure of another spring, counter to the support plate, engage the circumferential area of the support plate and has a conical recess on its circumference, along which slides a displaceable locking member for a refill valve for the hydraulic fluid during the movement of the control push rod. The refill valve opens only when the support plate displaces the control push rod counter to the pressure of its spring as a consequence of a lack of hydraulic fluid in the pump.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1982Date of Patent: August 14, 1984Assignee: Bran & Lubbe GmbHInventors: Rudiger Brauer, Dirk Petersen
