Abstract
A mount plate for removably connecting a fluid end of a reciprocating pump to a power end for a reciprocating pump includes a first set of openings and a second set of openings, each of which extend through the main body. The first set of openings are configured to receive a first set of couplers that couple the mount plate to a front of the power end. The second set of openings are configured to receive a second set of couplers that couple the mount plate to a fluid end in a spaced relationship. The mount plate may also include a third set of openings that extend through the main body and are configured to receive pony rods of the power end.
Claims20
A reciprocating pump, comprising:
- a power end configured to generate pumping power;
- a fluid end configured to deliver a fluid from an inlet bore to an outlet bore as the power end drives motion of a reciprocating element;
- and
- a mount plate disposed proximate the power end, the mount plate including a first set of openings, a second set of openings, and a third set of openings that are connected to form a contiguous slot, wherein the first set of openings is configured to receive a first set of couplers that couple the mount plate to the power end and the second set of openings is configured to receive a second set of couplers that couple the mount plate to the fluid end in a spaced relationship.
A power end for a reciprocating pump, the power end comprising:
- a frame that extends from a front to a back;
- and
- a mount plate disposed proximate the front of the power end frame, the mount plate including a first set of openings, a second set of openings, and a third set of openings that are connected to form a contiguous slot, wherein the first set of openings is configured to receive a first set of couplers that couple the mount plate to the front of the power end and the second set of openings is configured to receive a second set of couplers that couple the mount plate to a fluid end in a spaced relationship.
A mount plate for removably connecting a fluid end of a reciprocating pump to a power end for the reciprocating pump, the mount plate comprising:
- a main body configured to sit flush against a front of the power end of the reciprocating pump;
- a first set of openings that extend through the main body and are configured to receive a first set of couplers that couple the mount plate to the front of the power end;
- a second set of openings that extend through the main body and are configured to receive a second set of couplers that couple the mount plate to the fluid end in a spaced relationship;
- and
- a third set of openings that extend through the main body and are configured to receive pony rods of the power end, wherein the third set of openings are connected to form a contiguous slot.
