Abstract

Abstract An axial plunger pump for high pressure purposes using three plungers in a star like arrangement around an axis of a wobble plate. Each plunger has associated therewith a pumping unit and all pumping units are located in a common pumping unit block and each of the pumping units comprising a pump chamber having inlet and outlet valves connected to a common inlet duct and outlet duct respectively. Plunger cylinders of at least one of the plungers are connected to pump chamber at a position between the inlet valve and the outlet valve while the plunger cylinder of at least another plunger is connected to the associated pump chamber at a position below the inlet valve.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 228 words
An axial plunger pump comprising (a) a wobble plate rotatable around an axis thereof; (b) a plurality of plungers having longitudinal axes arranged radially and angularly at equal distances around that axis of said wobble plate and engaging a face surface of said wobble plate; (c) a pumping unit block containing a plurality of pumping units, one for each plunger; (d) a plurality of pump chambers, one for each pumping unit in the form of a bore, each extending in said pumping unit block in parallel to each other and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of each plunger; (e) inlet and outlet valves correspondingly connected at spaced locations to each of said pump chambers for each of said pumping units, all of said inlet valves being arranged in line and being connected to a common straight inlet duct and all of said outlet valves being arranged in line and being connected to a common straight outlet duct; (f) a plurality of cylinders, one for each of said plungers for reciprocating movement of those ends of said plungers distant from said wobble plate therein, at least one of said cylinders being connected to its associated pump chamber between its inlet and outlet valves; (g) said inlet duct passing between said plunger cylinders with part of said cylinders arranged above and below respectively of said axis of said wobble plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 228 words
An axial plunger pump comprising (a) a wobble plate rotatable around an axis thereof; (b) a plurality of plungers having longitudinal axes arranged radially and angularly at equal distances around that axis of said wobble plate and engaging a face surface of said wobble plate; (c) a pumping unit block containing a plurality of pumping units, one for each plunger; (d) a plurality of pump chambers, one for each pumping unit in the form of a bore, each extending in said pumping unit block in parallel to each other and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of each plunger; (e) inlet and outlet valves correspondingly connected at spaced locations to each of said pump chambers for each of said pumping units, all of said inlet valves being arranged in line and being connected to a common straight inlet duct and all of said outlet valves being arranged in line and being connected to a common straight outlet duct; (f) a plurality of cylinders, one for each of said plungers for reciprocating movement of those ends of said plungers distant from said wobble plate therein, at least one of said cylinders being connected to its associated pump chamber between its inlet and outlet valves; (g) said inlet duct passing between said plunger cylinders with part of said cylinders arranged above and below respectively of said axis of said wobble plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 230 words
An axial plunger pump comprising (a) a wobble plate rotatable around an axis thereof; (b) a plurality of plungers having longitudinal axes arranged radially and angularly at equal distances around that axis of said wobble plate and engaging a face surface of said wobble plate; (c) a pumping unit block containing a plurality of pumping units, one for each plunger; (d) a plurality of pump chambers, one for each pumping unit in the form of a bore, each extending in said pumping unit block in parallel to each other and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of each plunger; (e) inlet and outlet valves correspondingly connected at spaced locations to each of said pump chambers for each of said pumping units, all of said inlet valves being arranged in line and being connected to a common straight inlet duct and all of said outlet valves being arranged in line and being connected to a common straight outlet duct; (f) a plurality of cylinders, one for each of said plungers for reciprocating movement of those ends of said plungers distant from said wobble plate therein, at least one of said cylinders being connected to its associated pump chamber between its inlet and outlet valves; (g) said plunger cylinders being sealed against said plungers by a sealing means following by a leakage space being connected to said inlet duct by a through hole.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 230 words
An axial plunger pump comprising (a) a wobble plate rotatable around an axis thereof; (b) a plurality of plungers having longitudinal axes arranged radially and angularly at equal distances around that axis of said wobble plate and engaging a face surface of said wobble plate; (c) a pumping unit block containing a plurality of pumping units, one for each plunger; (d) a plurality of pump chambers, one for each pumping unit in the form of a bore, each extending in said pumping unit block in parallel to each other and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of each plunger; (e) inlet and outlet valves correspondingly connected at spaced locations to each of said pump chambers for each of said pumping units, all of said inlet valves being arranged in line and being connected to a common straight inlet duct and all of said outlet valves being arranged in line and being connected to a common straight outlet duct; (f) a plurality of cylinders, one for each of said plungers for reciprocating movement of those ends of said plungers distant from said wobble plate therein, at least one of said cylinders being connected to its associated pump chamber between its inlet and outlet valves; (g) said plunger cylinders being sealed against said plungers by a sealing means following by a leakage space being connected to said inlet duct by a through hole.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 268 words
An axial plunger pump comprising (a) a wobble plate rotatable around an axis thereof; (b) a plurality of plungers having longitudinal axes arranged radially and angularly at equal distances around that axis of said wobble plate and engaging a face surface of said wobble plate; (c) a pumping unit block containing a plurality of pumping units, one for each plunger; (d) a plurality of pump chambers, one for each pumping unit in the form of a bore, each extending in said pumping unit block in parallel to each other and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of each plunger; (e) inlet and outlet valves correspondingly connected at spaced locations to each of said pump chambers for each of said pumping units, all of said inlet valves being arranged in line and being connected to a common straight inlet duct and all of said outlet valves being arranged in line and being connected to a common straight outlet duct; (f) a plurality of cylinders, one for each of said plungers for reciprocating movement of those ends of said plungers distant from said wobble plate therein, at least one of said cylinders being connected to its associated pump chamber between its inlet and outlet valves; (g) said wobble plate and said plungers being contained in a housing having a cylindrical portion made of extruded material and wherein opposite end faces of said cylindrical part are in sealing engagement with cover plates one of which contains bearings for said plungers and having attached thereto said pump unit block whilst the other is an integral part of a drive for said wobble plate.
