Abstract
A pump having two pistons placed in a rotor, situated in a stator forming two opposite parallel eccentric pumping chambers having at least one inlet port through which the fluid is drawn into at least one of the pumping chambers during the filling movement of at least one of the pistons and, subsequently, expelled from at least one of the pumping chambers, during the emptying movement of at least one of the pistons, to at least one outlet port, characterized by an inlet cavity in connection with the inlet port, an outlet cavity in connection with the outlet port and two port changeover transition zones situated between each side of the cavities.
Claims15
A pump comprising:
- two pistons in a rotor, the rotor being located inside two cavities forming a stator and being rotatable about an axis in contact with the stator, the rotor forming two opposite parallel pumping chambers in which the pistons respectively translate, driven by a fixed cam located inside the stator, the rotor having port for each pumping chamber through which a fluid can be aspirated into each of the pumping chambers during a filling movement of one of the pistons within the chamber and then expelled from each of the pumping chambers, during a pumping movement of one of the pistons within the chamber, through the port for each pumping chamber,
- wherein the stator comprises a housing portion defining an inlet cavity alternatively connected by rotation of the rotor, synchronously with the piston pumping movements, to the port of each of the pumping chambers, an outlet cavity alternatively connected to the port of each of the pumping chambers, and two ports changeover transition areas located between the inlet and outlet cavities, the inlet and outlet cavities with their respective external port changeover transition areas located there between being arranged around the rotor axis.
