Abstract
A replaceable motor module for a groundwater sampling device including an inner housing defined by a cylindrical shape and having a first alignment pin. A DC-operated electric motor is positionable within the inner housing, and includes a first set of electrical input terminals, an output shaft capable of downwardly extending through a sealed hole in the inner housing, and a first alignment groove for mating with the first alignment pin of the inner housing. An inner housing cap includes a second set of electrical input terminals and electrical output terminals, and is pressingly engageable with the inner housing.
Claims20
A replaceable motor module for a groundwater sampling device, the replaceable motor module comprising:
- an inner housing defined by a cylindrical shape and comprising a first alignment pin;
- a DC-operated electric motor positionable within said inner housing, said motor comprising a first set of electrical input terminals, an output shaft capable of downwardly extending through a sealed hole in the inner housing, and a first alignment groove for mating with the first alignment pin of the inner housing;
- and
- an inner housing cap comprising electrical output terminals and a second set of electrical input terminals, and wherein the inner housing cap is pressingly engageable with the inner housing.
A method of assembling a groundwater sampling device comprising
- aligning an alignment groove of an inner housing comprising a DC-operated electric motor within said inner housing, said motor comprising a first set of electrical input terminals and an output shaft downwardly extending through a sealed hole in the inner housing, with an alignment pin of an inner housing cap comprising a second set of electrical input terminals and electrical output terminals;
- and
- fixedly securing the inner housing to the inner housing cap.
A motor module cap for a replaceable motor module for a groundwater sampling device, the motor module cap comprising:
- an output cap comprising a fluid conduit, a first set of lead bores for receiving electrical leads and a first plurality of holes for receiving an equal number of fasteners;
- and
- a compression disc substantially annular in shape, comprising a second set of lead bores for receiving electrical leads and a second plurality of holes for affixing the compression disk to the output cap, the second set of lead bores having a diameter equal to or less than the diameter of the first set of lead bores,
- wherein the compression is disc affixed to the output cap such that the first set of lead bores is in alignment with the second set of lead bores and the first plurality of holes is in alignment with the second plurality of holes.
