Abstract
A slide pump system that includes a working chamber that comprises an inlet and an outlet. The slide pump system further includes a plurality reciprocating components configured to advance into and retract from the working chamber. The reciprocating components of the plurality of reciprocating components are arranged adjacent to one another. The reciprocating components of the plurality of reciprocating components are configured to reciprocate along the same directional axis to facilitate movement of fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The slide-pump system may optionally and beneficially operate with a one-way valve as an integral part of the system's operation.
Claims20
A slide pump system, comprising:
- a working chamber comprising an inlet region and an outlet region;
- a plurality of reciprocating components, wherein reciprocating components of the plurality of reciprocating components are configured to advance into and retract from the working chamber to define a volume within the working chamber and propagate the volume through the working chamber from the inlet region toward the outlet region to facilitate movement of a medium from the inlet region toward the outlet region;
- and
- a bar linkage system connected to the plurality of reciprocating components and configured to control movement and relative positioning of the plurality of reciprocating components, wherein the bar linkage system comprises:
- one or more end bars and one or more connection bars, wherein each of the one or more end bars and the one or more connection bars rotatably interfaces with one or more fixed pivot locations arranged along the slide pump system;
- one or more reciprocator bars, wherein each of the one or more reciprocator bars extends from a reciprocating component of the plurality of reciprocating components;
- and
- one or more v-bars, wherein each of the one or more v-bars rotatably interfaces with (i) a reciprocator bar of the one or more reciprocator bars and (ii) at least one connection bar of the one or more connection bars and/or an end bar of the one or more end bars.

A slide pump system, comprising:
- a working chamber comprising an inlet region and an outlet region;
- a plurality of reciprocating components, wherein reciprocating components of the plurality of reciprocating components are configured to advance into and retract from the working chamber to define a volume within the working chamber and propagate the volume through the working chamber from the inlet region toward the outlet region to facilitate movement of a medium from the inlet region toward the outlet region;
- an auxiliary chamber arranged proximate to the working chamber, wherein the auxiliary chamber is configured to receive reciprocating components of the plurality of reciprocating components when the reciprocating components retract from the working chamber;
- and
- a press plunger and a block plunger, wherein the press plunger and the block plunger are configured to retract and advance along one or more directional axes, wherein a lower surface of the press plunger and one or more side surfaces of the block plunger and a reciprocating component of the plurality of reciprocating components at least partially define an intermediate space when (i) the press plunger and the reciprocating component are at least partially retracted and (ii) the block plunger is at least partially advanced, and wherein the press plunger, the block plunger, and the reciprocating component are configured to selectively open the intermediate space to the auxiliary chamber and the inlet region or the outlet region during a pump cycle.
