  • Publication number: 20060159574
    Abstract: The invention relates to a piston pump whose piston (4), via its upper and lower piston faces, delimits the working space inside the pump cylinder (5) on both sides. The working space (c) is joined via a lever system (19, 22, 25, 28, 31) to two force-guided inlet valves (14, 16) and two force-guided outlet valves (10, 12) that each alternately open and close for filling or discharging the working volume upon reaching both final positions of the piston. An additional working volume, which is reduced by the volume portion of the piston rod, is obtained by the piston being acted upon twice per working stroke as described by the invention thus nearly doubling the efficiency and resulting in a delivery flow with few pulsations. A small residual pulsation remains only from the short period of time during which the valves change from open to closed upon reaching both end positions of the piston inside the cylinder.

  • Patent number: 4958992
    Abstract: Variable capacity swivelling vane pump, comprising a radially displaceable rotor (13) connecting eccentrically in a rotor cage (h) with guided vanes (15), which are rotatably supported in vane recesses (16) and on cage pins (14). The vanes (15) thus convert the rotor eccentricity (d) into a pivoting-propulsion movement. Furthermore, the rotor (13) rests on a hollow secondary shaft (7), which is mounted outside the pump casing in a bearing carrier (4) arranged in a horizontally movable manner. The rotor (13) is driven by means of the primary shaft (12) located in the hollow secondary shaft (7), the primary shaft being connected with the rotor cage (h). This structure has small oscillating masses, is versatile, easy to manufacture and assemble and operates with minimum frictonal losses and is free from bearing and sealing problems.
