Definitions

  • the invention relates to a piston positive displacement pump with an alternating linear movement.
  • the invention is in particular intended to constitute a motorized pump for moving a fluid towards the body of a hydraulic cylinder for example for the actuation of tools such as crimping pliers, punching, etc.
  • pressure is exerted on a working member, mounted movably in a head, by means of a hydraulic cylinder actuated by a suction and treading pump as for example for the type of tools described. in FR-A-2,563,291.
  • the pumps used are manually controlled and the pump described in the above-mentioned document is a positive displacement piston pump with a linear reciprocating movement.
  • the actuating means are for example provided with operating handles but one can also imagine motor means, for example electric.
  • the invention provides an entirely original, practical and space-saving actuation system.
  • axial piston pumps are known, such as that described in document WO-A-8902532 in which the piston is driven in a reciprocating linear movement in the body of the pump by a cam mechanism which is rotated according to an axis coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the piston and which acts on one of the ends of said piston while the latter is permanently biased in the opposite direction by elastic means.
  • a pump according to the invention is notably remarkable in that it is provided with a deformable reservoir filled with fluid, in that the cam mechanism comprises a double cam and that the end of the piston turned towards said cam rests on a transverse bar fixed in rotation but guided in translation in the direction of movement of the piston, said bar resting on the cam, so that the latter, in combination with the elastic means, prints on said bar and on the piston, a reciprocating rectilinear movement which makes it possible to move the fluid from said reservoir to a circuit of use.
  • the cam is provided with a tail, itself driven in rotation.
  • the invention is mainly intended to design a motorized pump and it is then simple to provide a small electric motor powered by accumulators or rechargeable batteries and / or by connection to the mains, said motor being arranged to drive the cam.
  • the bar rests directly on the cam which slides while turning on said bar.
  • the bar rests on the cam by means of rollers with which it is provided, so that said rollers rotate in contact with said cam.
  • the bar has two rollers arranged at its ends and which are wedged by a spacer sleeve.
  • the deformable reservoir is, for example, annular and surrounds at least part of the pump body in which the piston is arranged.
  • the reservoir consists of a membrane, the sealed fixing of which is provided on the body or a part integral with the latter so as to seal the hydraulic circuit from the mechanical part, including in particular the bar, the cam and the corresponding end of the piston.
  • a pump according to the invention is in particular intended to actuate a hydraulic cylinder, but it is clear that all the known uses of the pumps are possible.
  • a pump provided with a body 1 forming a hollow cylinder 2 for a pump piston 3.
  • the body 1 further constitutes here, at the same time and in one piece, a body 1 'for a hydraulic cylinder provided with a piston 4 arranged to slide in said body 1' and which is biased by a spring 5 working at the compression.
  • the piston 3 of the pump in the form of a needle, is slidably longitudinally mounted in the cylinder 2. It comprises, in one piece or not, a foot 6 which is in contact or integral with a transverse bar 7 (by l 'intermediate here of a sleeve 7' which will be discussed below) arranged perpendicular to said piston 3.
  • the foot 6 is biased by a compression spring 8 wedged in the body 1 while the bar 7 and fixed in rotation and guided in translation in the direction of movement of the piston 3 by means of oblong notches 9a, 9b formed in the body 1 (or in a guide piece disposed around said body 1) and in which the ends of said bar 7 move.
  • the bar 7 is further urged by a double cam 11 provided with a tail 12 rotatably mounted, for example in a rolling bearing 13.
  • the bar 7 here comprises rollers 10 at its ends, which are wedged by the sleeve 7 ' serving as a spacer.
  • the foot 6 is in contact with the sleeve 7 'but as already said, if the foot 6 can be secured to the bar 7, the sleeve 7' can also be integral or in one piece with said bar 7.
  • the cam 11 is rotatably mounted around an axis 14 coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the piston 3.
  • FIG. 2 which only shows the essential parts or parts thereof which are necessary for a good understanding, clearly shows the particular shape of the cam 11 which is here a bell type cam, said to be double for having two hollows and two diametrically opposite bumps.
  • the cam urges through the rollers 10, the bar 7 and therefore the piston 3 to take a reciprocating rectilinear movement according to the double arrow T, that is to say back and forth, the return movement being provided by the aforementioned spring 8.
  • the rollers 10 rotate in contact with the cam 11, but it is clear that according to another embodiment comprising no rollers 10 or sleeve 7 ′, the cam 11 slides on the bar 7.
  • the shape of the cam is such that the piston takes two extreme positions when the cam makes a quarter turn, the piston therefore taking up the same position every half turn, which also means that a full revolution (360 °) for the cam creates two return movements for the piston.
  • the reciprocating movement of the piston 3 in the cylinder 2 conventionally makes it possible to aspirate, through at least one suction valve 15, a fluid contained in a deformable reservoir 16 formed of a flexible membrane 16 ′ to discharge it through a discharge valve 17 in the body 1 'of the hydraulic cylinder.
  • the hydraulic cylinder (1 ', 4) makes it possible to actuate any means and in particular, as already said, a tool. It is clear however that if the jack shown is a push jack, it is of course possible to actuate a jack to pull for a corresponding tool, the fluid being displaced towards the other end of the piston and the spring being of course reversed.
  • the device is also provided with a relief valve 18 retained on its seat by a spring 19.
  • This valve 18 can be actuated either optionally automatically (calibrated spring), or by the operation of a lever 20 in the form of a trigger, so as to control the retraction of the piston 4 of the jack by emptying the body 1 'by a circuit of discharge shown diagrammatically at 21, the fluid then returning to the reservoir 16.
  • the tail 12 of the cam 11 can be rotated by any means and in particular by an electric motor shown diagrammatically at 22.
  • the motor 22 will generally act via a pinion or gear system, so that its own axis can of course be offset.
  • the deformable reservoir is annular and surrounds at least a part of the body 1.
  • the flexible membrane 16 ′ is fixed in leaktight manner to the body 1 (or on, or between fixed or integral parts of said body 1) so that the hydraulic part is separated from the mechanical part comprising in particular the bar 7, the cam 11, and the corresponding end of the piston 3. It is also possible to provide, if necessary, additional and / or complementary tanks.
  • the one of the ends of the bar 7 would form a pivot while the other end guided as previously and whether or not provided with a roller, would be driven in an oscillating movement by a single cam, while urging the piston in a movement of back and forth.
  • the invention may relate to the displacement of a fluid for other applications (elevation of a fluid, transfer, ).
  • the invention essentially relates to the pump as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2.
