摘要:
The fluid pump has a casing defining an inlet manifold, an outlet manifold and a plurality of piston chambers between the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold, each piston chamber having a piston therein for drawing fluid into the piston chamber from the inlet manifold and for pumping fluid out of the piston chamber into the outlet manifold, and a spring biased check valve associated with each piston chamber wherein a spring biases each valve toward the piston chamber and seals the piston chamber from the outlet manifold, the improvement comprises: at least one of the check valves having a hole therethrough which provides open communication between the outlet manifold and the piston chamber, blocking and sealing structure associated with the check valve for blocking and sealing the opening, and a mechanism for moving the blocking and sealing structure between a first position wherein the hole is blocked and sealed and a second position whereby the hole is not blocked or sealed, such that when the blocking and sealing structure is in the first position, liquid is prevented from flowing from the outlet manifold back into the piston cylinder and thereby causes fluid to exit the pump in a continuous flow and when the blocking and sealing structure is in the second position fluid can flow from the outlet manifold into the piston cylinder and fluid exits the pump in a pulsed or vibratory flow.

A displacement pump has a pump chamber connected with an inlet valve chamber and an outlet valve chamber. The chambers are arranged so that a cleaning tool has a direct cleaning path through the inlet valve chamber, its connection to the pump chamber, the connection of the outlet valve to the pump chamber and the outlet valve.

A double acting pump having inlet and outlet poppet valves clamped to the pump housing in proximity to an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold. The end portion of each cylinder in the double acting pump is provided with a sloped wall to prevent debris in the pumped fluid from becoming stuck in the pump cylinder. Each poppet includes a valve housing having a spring biased valve head slidably mounted therein and engageable with a removable valve seat. A stem is connected to the valve head and extends through an end wall of the valve housing to the exterior thereof to function as an external indicator rod to indicate the position of the valve head within the valve body. A handle is connected to the stem so that the stem can be manually pulled to lift the valve head from the seat to check the operation of the poppet valve, and a disc is mounted on the stem a predetermined distance from the end wall when the valve is in the closed position so that the wear between the valve seat and head can be obtained. The valve seat is dimensioned to allow a substantially unrestricted flow of fluid therethrough and having a 45.degree. slope engageable by a 90.degree. edge on the valve head to minimize the surface area between the valve head and seat so that debris cannot be trapped between the valve head and seat to prevent the valve head from properly seating.
摘要:
A fluid pump having a casing defining a fluid inlet a fluid outlet and first and second cylinders, a first piston mounted to the casing for movement in first and second directions with the first piston causing fluid in the inlet to be drawn into the first cylinder as the first piston moves in the first direction and causing fluid in the first cylinder to be discharged from the first cylinder towards the outlet and the second cylinder as the first piston moves in the second direction, a second piston mounted to the casing for movement in third and fourth directions with the second piston being movable in a third direction without drawing significant amounts of fluid from the inlet into the second cylinder and causing fluid in the second cylinder to be discharged from the second cylinder towards the outlet as the second piston moves in the fourth direction, and structure for driving the first piston reciprocatively in the first and second directions and the second piston reciprocatively in the third and fourth directions.
摘要:
A multiplunger reciprocating pump having a cylinder head with internal manifolding and valving arrangement that permits removal of valves as units from selected pumps, valve bodies with bias porting, and studs in constant tension. A solenoid actuated rod may be added to unload the compression chambers by inhibiting the inlet or suction valve from seating.

摘要:
A positive displacement pump having a valve with an actuation guide for assisting its actuation. The valve may be configured for controlling fluid communication relative to a chamber of the pump with the valve actuation guide positioned external to the chamber and configured to assist in the controlling. The valve actuation guide itself may include an arm extending into a valve actuation assembly below the valve. In such embodiments, the arm may be reciprocated by crankshaft, hydraulic, or other means. Alternatively, the valve actuation assembly may include electromagnetic means for assisting in actuation of the valve.

A method for operating at least one pump in a pump assembly comprises providing a pump assembly comprising a fluid end and a power end, the fluid end in communication with a fluid source and at least one downstream destination and comprising a pump housing for a pressurizable chamber, at least one valve for controlling fluid communication with the chamber, the at least one valve defining a normal duration of allowing fluid communication with the chamber during operation of the pump assembly, providing a valve actuation guide external to the chamber, the valve actuation guide coupled to the valve and operable to assist in controlling fluid communication with the chamber, operating the pump assembly, and actuating the valve actuation guide to change an aspect of the valve duration.
摘要:
A pump assembly with valve-seat interface architecture configured to extend the life of pump components and the assembly. A valve of the pump assembly is equipped with a conformable valve insert that is configured with a circumferential component having the capacity to reduce the radial strain of its own deformation upon its striking of a valve seat at the interface within the pump assembly. The circumferential component may include a concave surface about the insert, a rounded abutment at the strike surface of the insert, or a core mechanism within the insert that is of greater energy absorbing character than surrounding material of the insert. Additionally, the valve seat itself may be configured for more even wear over time and equipped with a conformable seat insert to reduce wear on the valve insert.
摘要:
A valve for causing pulsatile flow in a multi-piston plunger pump includes a valve poppet, a valve seat, and a spring biasing the valve poppet against the valve seat; and a mechanism holding the valve poppet in an open position, thereby producing pulsatile flow from the pump. The mechanism includes a magnet and an adjustment mechanism for moving the magnet toward and away from the valve poppet. When the magnet is moved toward the valve poppet, the magnet attracts the poppet away from the valve seat, and when the magnet is moved away from the valve poppet, the magnet releases the poppet. The spring then biases the poppet against the valve seat in a closed position.
