Definitions

  • the invention provides therefore a pluricylinder pump comprising a number of variable stroke pumping units, each pumping a separate fluid, the pistons of these units being reciprocated by a common shaft.
  • the mutual pumping proportions can be selected by means permitting to vary, on said common shaft, the crank radius relatively to each piston. Thereby, said proportions, once set, are not affected by the speed of the pump shaft.
  • the means for varying the crank radius comprise, for each individual piston, an eccentric rigid with said shaft, said eccentric being rotatable within a matching circular opening, which is provided in a disk and offcentered with respect to the latter. On said disk is mounted the annularly shaped eye of the large or crankpin end of the connecting rod. The stroke of each piston is varied by rotating the disk around the eccentric till the required crank radius is obtained, and fixing it in position. Further means are provided to readily vary the relative position of each pair of eccentrics from the exterior. Since all pistons are driven from a common shaft, the proportions at which each liquid is pumped will of course remain constant, independently of the speed of the pump shaft.
  • the pistons present two sets of packings, one at their top portion, the other at the bottom portion, and thereby they divide their associated cylinder into an upper and a lower chamber, the upper communicating with the liquid, the other communicating with the external air through at least one aperture in the cylinder walls. Thereby the liquid in the upper chamber is prevented from coming into contactwith the lubricating oil of the pump, as it will be explained later in greater detail.
  • FIG. 1 is a lateral partial sectional view of a pump embodying the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line 2-2 of FIG. 1, and
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a detail of FIG.
  • the pump housing also contains the step-up gearing transmitting the drive from a motor to the pump shaft.
  • the drive shaft 16 is rotatably supported in the housing 10 in two bearings 12 and 14 and its end projecting beyond the housing carries a pulley l8 fastened to it by a bolt and a washer 22.
  • a spur gear 24 keyed to shaft 16 meshes with a spur gear 26 ofa much smaller diameter keyed to the pump shaft 28, to form the step-up mechanism transmitting the drive from the motor to the pump.
  • Two circular eccentrics 34 and 36 are keyed to the pump shaft 28. Each eccentric is positioned within a matching circular opening of a disk 38, 40 respectively,
  • a pin 42 and 44 respectively projects laterally from each disk 38, 40, on which are oscillatabiy mounted the annular crankpin ends 55, 57 of connecting rods 54, 56 respectively.
  • each bushing Adjacently to the eccentrics, each bushing forms a circular flange 47, 49 respectively.
  • Each flange is provided with a radial slot 50 and 52 respectively, into which engages the pin 42 and 44 respectively projecting from the adjacent lateral surfaces of each disk 38, 40.
  • Each disk 38, 40 and eye 55, 57 is retained upon its respective eccentric 34, 36 by flange 35, 37 provided on each eccentric 34, 36.
  • a knurled wheel 51 and 53 respectively is keyed to each bushing externally of housing 10.
  • a graduated plate 94 and 96 is keyed to each terminal portion of shaft 28.
  • the disk associated with the bushing by the pin 42, 44 is rotated relatively to the corresponding eccentric, and thereby the crank radius R and thus the stroke of the corresponding piston is varied steplessly.
  • the wheel can be provided with an index mark, and the graduation on the plates 94, 96 may correspond either directly to the stroke of the piston or to the piston displacement.
  • each piston can be set independently of that of the other piston and therefore the proportions of the fluids delivered through each cylinder can be steplessly varied at will by positioning the wheels 51, 53 relatively to the graduated plates 94, 96 and fastening them by tightening the bolts 90, 92 respectively.
  • the pistons 58 and 60 associated with the connecting rods 54 and 56 respectively have two disks 62, 66 and 64, 68 respectively, and operate in two cylinders 70 and 72, respectively.
  • the cylinder 70 is divided by the disks of piston 58 in an upper chamber 74 extending between the cylinder head and the disk 62, and a lower chamber 76 extending between said disk 62 and the disk 66.
  • one of the fluids is pumped from the suction side 78 into the chamber 74 and thence into the discharge side 80, which is provided in the usual manner with an air chamber 82.
  • the chamber 76 communicates with the exterior through slits 97.
  • This chamber serves to prevent any contact between the fluids to be pumped and the lubricating oil of the pump even in case where the piston packings become defective. In fact, either the oil which might leak through the packing of the lower piston disk or the fluid which might leak through the packing of the upper disk are discharged through said slits.
  • the piston 60 divides its relating cylinder 72 into an upper chamber 84 and a lower chamber 86.
  • the pumping circuit is identical to that of the cylinder 70 and is therefore neither described nor illustrated.
  • the discharge pipe of cylinder chamber 84 may be provided with an air chamber 88.
  • the bores of the cylinders might be of identical or different size.
  • A- two-cylinder pump for pumping two fluids at respective variable rates comprising:
  • each of the disks having an opening formed therein for mounting said disk on a respective one of the eccentrics in a selectively variable position
  • each piston member having an associated piston rod formed with an eye at the end thereof rotatably mounted on a respective one of the disks;
  • each bushing having a flange formed thereon which extends over and abuts the other side surface of the associated piston rod eye and corresponding disk for retaining each disk and piston rod eye mounted on its associated eccentric and disk respectively, and means for selectively independently varying the relative position of each disk with respect to its associated eccentric including engaging means provided on each said bushing and eccentric engaging each eccentric to an associated bushing for rotating said eccentric in response to rotation of said associated bushing 2.
  • said means engaging each eccentric to an associated bushing includes a slot provided in either said eccentric or bushing and a pin member provided in the other of said eccentric or bushing extending into said slot for sliding movement therein.
  • each piston member comprises an upper and lower piston, which upper piston defines an upper cylinder chamber extending from the upper piston to the cylinder head and which lower piston defines a lower cylinder chamber extending between the two pistons.
  • each upper cylinder chamber has a fluid inlet and a fluid discharge for passage of each pumped fluid and wherein the lower cylinder chamber has at least one opening formed therein providing fluid communication between the interior of the lower cylinder chamber and the exterior of the pump so that any of the pumped fluid which leaks down past the upper piston or any lubricating oil which is normally disposed in the pump casing which leaks past the lower piston will be discharged through the opening to the pump exterior.
