摘要:
An air operated double diaphragm pump 10 is provided with an air valve assembly which allows the valve cup 38 to move in a rectangular pattern which greatly reduces the cost and number of parts required for such an air valve. The main housing 12 of the pump 10 is mounted on a fluid base 20 to which the lines of fluid are attached. This allows removal of the pump for servicing by undoing several basic fasteners such as nuts and bolts 18 without requiring removal of the fluid fittings to the base 20. Thus, in the event of a pump malfunction, the pump may be easily replaced while the fluid fittings remain intact. Provision is also made for additional passages 54, 56 into each air chamber 44, 46 for operation via an externally operated solenoid valve. A one-piece check valve 26 construction is utilised with the part having a central sealing disk 26A having a plurality of radially axially extending guide members 26B extending therefrom wherein each of the guide members has an outer diameter sized to slidingly fit within a cylindrical cavity 28 and each of the guide members 26B having axially opposite the sealing disk 26A a plurality of spring loaded fingers 26D which serve to bias the check valve 26 into a closed position.

A pump having a center section (36) including an air valve (76) is arranged with air chambers to either side of an actuator housing. Diaphragms are associated with the air chambers to create enclosed cavities. Pumping chambers are positioned outwardly of the diaphragms and formed by intake and exhaust manifolds (20, 22). The actuator uses a pilot shifting shaft (62) which is shuttled by movement of the diaphragms. An air valve is controlled by the shuttle shifting shaft to control flow to and from the air chambers. The passageways from the air chambers to exhaust find the passage to the outlet being at least as restrictive to air flow as the remainder of the passageways. A diffuser includes a thin space between two surfaces, one of the surfaces being part of a porous block (96) of material.

Double-acting membrane pump. The pump comprises two membranes coupled to one another, pumping being carried out alternately in a first pump chamber and in a second pump chamber. With this arrangement the control of the movement of the membranes is carried out in such a way that it is possible not only to control the frequency and the stroke but that, in addition, there is the possibility of incorporating a pause of controllable duration in the rest position of the membrane pump.

In a process for the controlled metering of at least one pourable component, two force pumps (1, 2) driven by a smooth hydraulic current, each with an oscillating force component (9, 10), are used whereby the hydraulic current is divided in a current divider in such a way that one force pump, then both together and then the other identical force pump are driven alternately by this hydraulic current. The volume flow from the force pumps (1, 2) is also smooth and also free of leaks owing to the sealing tests performed on a force pump (1, 2) during the inoperative period. A device for implementing the process is also described.

A membrane-based piston pump (1) for use in a homogenising apparatus (100), comprising: - a membrane means (2) separating a product side for a fluid product (P1) from a hydraulic side for a hydraulic fluid (P2); - a reciprocating piston (3) operatively active on the hydraulic fluid (P2); - valve means (4) configured to establish a selective fluid communication between the hydraulic side and a tank (10) containing the hydraulic fluid (P2), wherein said valve means (4) comprise: - a first valve arrangement (5, 6) that, in a working condition of the piston pump (1), is configured to discharge the hydraulic fluid (P2) having a pressure over a first predefined threshold from the hydraulic side towards the tank (10) and to draw the hydraulic fluid (P2) from the tank (10) to the hydraulic side in response to a pressure in the hydraulic side dropping below a second predefined threshold; - a second valve arrangement (7, 8) that, in at least one non-working condition of the piston pump (1), is configured to discharge the hydraulic fluid (P2) having a pressure over a third predefined threshold from the hydraulic side towards the tank (10).
摘要:
A connection apparatus for sealing to a pathway of a mounting structure includes a body; and a port including a threaded portion extending from the body and a non-threaded portion extending from the threaded portion, the non-threaded portion carrying a gasket, the gasket positioned along the non-threaded portion such that the mounting structure to which the connection apparatus is mounted contacts the gasket prior to the threaded portion engaging a mating threaded portion of the mounting structure, the port providing fluid communciation between the body and the pathway of the mounting structure. The body may be that of a valve that supplies any of air, water or oil as an operating fluid to, for example, inlet and outlet valves and a pump chamber of a medical fluid pump of a medical fluid delivery machine.
