Abstract
A rotary fluid pump of the type having a housing body and a pair of recessed end heads assembled to opposite ends of the housing. A pair of resilient sealing plates may be disposed between the side of the housing and the recessed end heads to define a rotor chamber having a rotor with slidable vanes mounted thereon. Fluid inlet and outlet ports adapted to communicate with the rotor chamber are formed either in the sealing plates or in the end heads to provide pairs of inlet and outlet ports.
Claims6
In a rotary fluid pump, including a housing body, a pair of recessed end heads assembled to opposite ends of the housing;
- a pair of resilient sealing plates individually disposed between the side of the housing and the recessed end heads to provide a rotor chamber between the sealing plates and a pair of end chambers each defined between the sealing plate and the recessed end head;
- a rotor supported in the rotor chamber;
- and a plurality of vanes slidably disposed in vane grooves formed in the rotor, the improvement comprising;
- fluid inlet and outlet ports adapted to communicate with the rotor chamber, at least one of said fluid inlet port or said outlet port formed symmetrically in each of the resilient sealing plates, to provide a pair of ports, wherein fluid communication between said ports and said end chambers being prevented and, a fluid inlet hole and a fluid outlet hole arranged in said housing body at a position corresponding to the longitudinal center of said rotor.
