Articulating pump for submerging into a fluid reservoir

An articulating pump for submerging in a fluid reservoir, the articulating pump comprising:

• a frame for coupling the pump to an implement;
• a pump body rotatably coupled to the frame, the pump body having:
• a first body portion rotatably coupled to the frame;
• and
• a second body portion rotatably coupled to the first body portion;
• a drive shaft coupled to the second body portion of the pump body and extending downwardly relative to the frame;
• a drive means coupled to a power take-off of the implement and configured to transfer power of the implement to the drive shaft;
• an elongated fluid conduit coupled to the second body portion and extending downwardly relative to the frame;
• a pump head coupled to an inlet of the elongated fluid conduit at a positioned spaced apart from the second body portion, the pump head having a fluid inlet on an underside and a fluid outlet on an upper side thereof, the elongated fluid conduit being fluidly coupled to the outlet to receive fluid from the pump head;
• an impeller coupled to the drive shaft, the impeller extending downwardly from the pump head to direct fluid from the fluid reservoir into the inlet of the pump head and, subsequently, the inlet of the elongated fluid conduit.

A pump head of an articulating pump, the pump head comprising:

• an outer conical outer housing having:
• a fluid inlet on an underside of the outer housing;
• a fluid outlet on an upper side of the outer housing, the fluid outlet being configured to be fluidly coupled to an inlet of an elongated conduit to direct fluid into the elongated fluid conduit;
• and
• an inner cavity fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet;
• an inner conical housing positioned within the outer conical housing, the inner housing defining a first inner cavity for receiving a drive shaft of the articulating pump, the drive shaft being coupled to an impeller extending outwardly from the fluid inlet on the underside of the inner cone;
• and
• one or more vanes fluidly coupled to the inner cavity and configured to receive the fluid from the inner cavity and direct the fluid towards the fluid outlet, the vanes passing between the outer housing and the inner housing and around the inner housing.
