Peristaltic pump

A peristaltic pump comprising:

• a plurality of pressors which compress a tube portion according to an orderly sequence, capable of determining a fluid flow inside said tube portion, wherein the pressors are balancing or tilting pressors pivoted around a mutual axis and operated by corresponding motion means which push said pressors against a reaction element contrasting the pressure of the same pressors on the tube containing the fluid to be pumped and wherein said peristaltic pump is provided with means for separating all said pressors from the reaction element at the same time, said means for separating being formed by a lever element connected to said pressors or to said reaction element and wherein said pressors are pivoted around the mutual axis and operated by corresponding cams disposed on a corresponding cam axis, wherein a mutual axis shaft passes through said mutual axis in correspondence with the proximal end of each of said pressors and wherein the distal end of said pressors act on said tube portion;
• a support structure, that supports the pump, which has a box-like shape and which is upperly closed by a cover, said cover being provided with one or more holes for the passage of said pressors and said reaction elements;
• a pivot point of said pressors which corresponds substantially to the proximal end of the same pressors and in which the distal end of said pressors act on the tube;
• a shaft which passes through each pressor, said shaft coinciding with said mutual axis and being inserted in a couple of corresponding seats placed counter-posed on said support structure;
• a multi-prong lever of said pressors having a prong structure which allows the passage of other levers destined to support the reaction elements;
• said other levers being connected to the reaction element in their distal end, while at their proximal end are hinged around corresponding pivots disposed on an axis which is parallel to said mutual axis of pressors;
• small shafts provided on the sides of the levers forming said reaction elements, said small shafts being housed in corresponding seats presented by the structure;
• a central shaft disposed parallel to said mutual axis shafts and to said pivots, said central shaft being vertically slidable in corresponding slot seat of the support structure;
• two couples of arms connecting said central shaft to a couple of said other levers by means of said pivots which are hinged on the central shaft;
• and,
• a further shaft, parallel to said shaft of mutual axis, supports said cams housed in a couple of seats placed counter-posed on said support structure, wherein:
• the motion of said central shaft with its sliding along the slot seats causes the reaction elements to move away from said pressors;
• the plurality of pressors comprises a central pressor and two lateral pressors, the lateral pressors by alternatively compressing a very short tract of the tube so as to completely occlude it, define corresponding inlet and outlet valves;
• and,
• the central pressor extends parallel to said tube with a higher value with respect to the lateral pressors and compresses the tube so as to produce the volume variation which determines the pumping effect.
