Publication number: 20250012270Abstract: A wrist pin assembly can include a connecting rod can be pivotably attached to a crank member. A housing can extend between a crank member end and a piston rod end. The connecting rod can extend from the crank member and into the housing through the crank member end. A crosshead can be installed within the housing. The crosshead can be operable to translate within the housing between the crank member end and the piston rod end. A wrist pin can be installed within the crosshead. The connecting rod can be pivotably attached to the wrist pin to translate the wrist pin and the crosshead within the housing in a first direction and a second direction as the crank member rotates. A plunger assembly can be directly coupled to the wrist pin and can extend from the wrist pin through the piston rod end.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2023Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Kyle Christopher Chady, James Sterling Evans

Patent number: 12158144Abstract: A method of assembling a fluid end includes inserting a valve through a bore of a housing of the fluid end and into an interior volume of the fluid end, inserting a valve cover into the bore such that the valve cover seals the bore, and coupling a lock cover to the housing, the lock cover positioned over the bore to prevent removal of the valve cover from the bore. When the lock cover is coupled to the housing, the lock cover does not apply a preload against the valve cover.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2021Date of Patent: December 3, 2024Assignee: GARDNER DENVER PETROLEUM PUMPS LLCInventors: Kyle Christopher Chady, Paul Douglas Cary, Ryan Huseman

Publication number: 20240141888Abstract: A fluid end assembly of a hydraulic fluid pump includes a housing, a plug member, a lock cover, and at least one retention pin. The housing may include at least one bore. The plug member may be positioned at least partially within the at least one bore. The lock cover may be coupled to the housing and configured to retain the plug member within the at least one bore during operation of the fluid end assembly. The at least one retention pin may extend at least partially through a portion of the lock cover to retain the lock cover in a rotational position that retains the plug member at least partially within the bore.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Ryan Huseman, Chris Degginger, Paul Douglas Cary, Kyle Christopher Chady

Publication number: 20230407854Abstract: A pump system may include a drive shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and supplying rotation about the longitudinal axis, a gear system operably coupled to the shaft for changing the orientation of the rotation, and a slider-crank mechanism. The slider crank mechanism may include a rotating member assembly mechanically coupled to and driven by the gear system. The rotating member assembly may include a plurality of rotating members having respective rotational axes offset laterally from one another and generally orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The slider crank mechanism may also include a sliding member assembly mechanically coupled to the rotating member assembly. The rotating member assembly may be configured to drive reciprocating motion of the sliding member to alternately draw fluid in and discharge fluid. The slider crank mechanism may also include a connecting rod assembly mechanically coupling the rotating member assembly to the sliding member assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Kyle Christopher Chady, James Sterling Evans, Travis Lee Bolt, Shriram Pushparaj Patil
