  • Patent number: 9011122
    Abstract: There is provided a stator seal structure in a uniaxial eccentric screw pump by which the abrasion resistance of sealing mechanisms is improved and the pumped fluid can be prevented from stagnating in the sealing mechanisms. The stator seal structure is provided with a pair of sealing mechanisms for sealing between a housing and an intake side end portion, and between the housing and a discharge side end portion of the stator. The pair of sealing mechanisms is provided with ring-shaped secured rings respectively secured to the housing. The secured rings are respectively attached with elastic bodies for ensuring contact pressures between the sliding seal surface of the stator and the sliding seal surface of the secured rings with the elastic forces of the elastic bodies and for sealing between the secured rings and the housing.

  • Patent number: 8784085
    Abstract: Disclosed is a uniaxial eccentric screw pump that can prevent the life of a bearing sliding portion from decreasing due to a thrust load applied from a high pressure side to a low pressure side. An external thread-like motor directly coupled with a driving shaft is rotated and eccentrically moved with respect to the axis of a stator to deliver a fluid from an intake side to a discharge side. The pump is provided at an end of the discharge side of the motor and extends toward the discharge side in the axial direction of the stator. The uniaxial eccentric screw pump includes an annular small-diameter portion and a seal member. The seal member is in sliding contact with the outer surface of the small-diameter portion and seals the end of a sliding portion between a self-lubricating bearing on the discharge side and the stator.
