Fluid pump with axially adjustable gears

A fluid pump apparatus, comprising,

• a primary cylindrical housing symmetrically oriented about a housing axis, with the primary cylindrical housing including a cylindrical side wall and a first end wall spaced from and parallel to a second end wall, and
• a hydraulic pressure conduit directed into the primary cylindrical housing through the first end wall, and
• an inlet conduit directed into the cylindrical side wall and an outlet conduit directed into the cylindrical side wall, wherein the inlet conduit and the outlet conduit are diametrically opposed relative to one another through the cylindrical side wall, and
• a fixed first cylindrical housing mounted within the primary cylindrically housing in communication with the second end wall, and
• a second cylindrical housing reciprocatably mounted within the primary cylindrical housing and arranged in a facing relationship relative to the first cylindrical housing, wherein a fluid control chamber is oriented between the second cylindrical housing and the first end wall, and
• the first cylindrical housing having a first housing cylindrical cavity radially displaced relative to the housing axis, and the second cylindrical housing having a second housing cylindrical cavity directed into the second cylindrical housing radially displaced relative to the housing axis, wherein the first cylindrical housing included a first housing first end wall positioned in adjacency to the primary housing second end wall, and the first cylindrical housing having a first housing second end wall, including the first housing cylindrical cavity directed therethrough, and wherein the second cylindrical housing includes a second housing first end wall arranged in a facing relationship relative to the primary cylindrical housing first end wall, with the fluid control chamber oriented therebetween, with the second cylindrical housing having a second cylindrical housing second end wall in facing parallel relationship relative to the first cylindrical housing second end wall, with the second cylindrical housing second end wall including the second cylindrical cavity directed therein, wherein the first cylindrical cavity and the second cylindrical cavity are arranged in a spaced parallel relationship relative to one another, with the first cylindrical cavity including a first tubular sleeve having first gear ribs therewithin, and the second cylindrical cavity having a second tubular sleeve having second gear ribs therewithin, and
• a second pump gear received slidably within the first tubular sleeve, and a first pump gear slidably received within the second tubular sleeve, wherein the first tubular sleeve and the second tubular sleeve are arranged for rotative engagement relative to the first cylindrical cavity and the second cylindrical cavity respectively, and
• the second pump gear includes a second pump gear shaft directed through the primary cylindrical housing first end wall, and the first pump gear including a first pump gear shaft directed through the primary cylindrical housing second end wall, wherein fluid control means in fluid communication with the hydraulic pressure conduit is arranged for providing for selective volumetric filling of the fluid control chamber to provide for axial displacement of the second pump gear relative to the first pump gear to effect selective pressurizing of fluid from the inlet conduit to the outlet conduit, and
• the second cylindrical housing second end wall includes a first C-shaped shield fixedly mounted thereto, wherein the first housing second end wall includes a first C-shaped cavity to receive the first C-shaped shield complementarily therewithin, and a second C-shaped shield is orthogonally and fixedly mounted to the first housing second end wall, and wherein the second housing second end wall includes a second housing C-shaped cavity to receive the second C-shaped shield slidably therewithin, wherein the first C-shaped shield and the second C-shaped shield include a first gap in facing relationship relative to the inlet conduit, and the first C-shaped shield and the second C-shaped shield include a second gap oriented in facing relationship relative to the outlet conduit.
