Definitions
- the invention relates to a positive displacement pump consisting of two pistons for the precise and variable delivery of liquid, medicine, food, detergent, cosmetic, chemical compound or any other type of fluid, gel or gas.
- the prior art is a positive displacement pump consisting of two pistons for the precise and variable delivery of liquid, medicine, food, detergent, cosmetic, chemical compound or any other type of fluid, gel or gas.
- each piston is done by means of an axis guided by one or both ends of the axis traveling in a cam placed in the stator and optionally by another similar opposite cam in the cover.
- This mechanism is integrated in the interchangeable fluid module or pump head, made of plastic for single use.
- the main problem encountered by this system stems from the fact that the piston drive elements are integrated into the interchangeable fluid module, made of economical plastic, impacting the precision of the pump since the stroke of the pistons depends on the quality of the movement imparted. on the guide pins along the cam.
- the wear of the plastic parts reduces the life of the pump head which in some cases even results in the rupture of the cam when heating due to the friction of the axes along the cam is prolonged.
- the lateral supports of the cam can also deform or even break when the pressure in the pump increases, which limits the use of this type of pump for applications requiring pressures greater than a few bars.
- the present invention relates to an efficient pump composed of a reduced number of parts at very low production cost for pumping and dosing liquids, viscous products or gases with variable flow without pulsation.
- This invention solves the problems set out above, by controlling the movements of the pistons and of the valve switching element, preferably linearly and parallel to each other, by a single rotor positioned in a drive mechanism of the external pump. interchangeable fluid module. All movements of the drive mechanism are carried out by robust, precise standard guiding elements, ensuring reliable guiding of the pistons and capable of withstanding very high pressures in the pump. It is thus possible to produce a variable flow pump without pulsation, very precise, durable and suitable for applications requiring pressures greater than a few bars.
- the production of the pump head is also more economical since the latter advantageously comprises a reduced number of elements in contact with the fluid, that is to say two preferably identical cylinder blocks, two preferentially identical pistons, a valve switching element and preferably seals.
- the pumping principle consists in driving a rotor placed, in the pump mechanism, provided with a guide cam groove making it possible to move the pistons independently axially in the cylinder blocks by means of carriages.
- This cam groove is composed of six segments: a drain start segment at a flow rate lower than the nominal pump flow rate a long drain segment at the nominal pump flow rate
- the other chamber switches from the outlet port to the inlet port, then fills completely and switches from the inlet port to the outlet port.
- the two chambers simultaneously expel towards the outlet port each at a reduced rate according to the two start and end drain segments, placed in opposition on the cam.
- the sum of these two reduced flow rates is equivalent to the nominal flow rate of the pump so that the output flow rate always remains equivalent to the nominal flow rate, continuous, uninterrupted and without pulsation.
- the rotor also includes an eccentric axis enabling the switching element of the valves to be moved, via a valve carriage, in synchronization with the pumping movements of the pistons.

- the outlet transfer chambers (51, 51 ') are thus always connected to the outlet port (9).
- the rotor (14) moves the valve switching element back and forth and thus connects the port (13) of the pumping chamber (11) with the inlet transfer chamber (50) for filling or with the outlet transfer chamber (51) for emptying, and the port (13 ') of the pumping chamber (11') with the inlet transfer chamber (50 ') for filling or with the outlet transfer chamber (51 ') for emptying.
