Abstract
A cruciform pump comprises a casing, a positioning round disk in the casing; a driven rotary disk; and two sliding blocks. A center of the positioning round disk is arranged corresponding to a center of the casing, and has a cruciform sliding groove. The driven rotary disk is eccentrically installed on the positioning round disk. One rotary shaft at one surface of the rotary disk protrudes out of the casing. The two sliding blocks are installed in the cruciform sliding groove. Each block is conformed to the sliding groove, so that the positioning round disk is driven by the sliding blocks. When the driven rotary disk rotates through two circles, the positioning round disk only rotates through one circle. During rotation, the two sliding blocks move along the cruciform sliding groove; then, one side of the sliding block presses fluid flowing out, and another side thereof will suck fluid into the sliding groove.
Description




FIELD OF THE INVENTION




The present invention relates to pumps, and particularly to a cruciform pump.




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




The most frequently used pumps include gear pumps, reciprocal pumps, and eccentric pumps. The manufacturing process of gear pumps is complicated and turbulent flow and dead locking are easily generated in the transferring process. The reciprocal pumps can not operate continuously and have larger noises. The eccentric pumps can not achieve the object of transferring in high pressure. Therefore, the prior art pumps have many defects which are necessary to be improved.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a cruciform pump which can resolve the above problems by matching the circular and straight movements. Thereby, the manufacturing cost is reduced and the transferring efficiency is improved.




To achieve above object, the present invention provides a cruciform pump comprising a casing, a positioning round disk in the casing; a driven rotary disk; and two sliding blocks. A center of the positioning round disk is arranged corresponding to a center of the casing, and has a cruciform sliding groove. The driven rotary disk is eccentrically installed on the positioning round disk. One rotary shaft at one surface of the rotary disk protrudes out of the casing. The two sliding blocks are installed in the cruciform sliding groove. Each block is conformed to the sliding groove, so that the driven rotary disk is driven by power outside the pump. When the driven rotary disk rotates through two circles, the positioning round disk only rotates through one circle. During rotation, the two sliding blocks move along the cruciform sliding groove; then, one side of each sliding block presses fluid flowing out, and another side thereof will suck fluid into the sliding groove.











The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS




Referring to

FIGS. 1

to


3


, the cruciform pump of the present invention is illustrated. The cruciform pump comprises a casing


10


, a positioning round disk


20


, a driven rotary disk


30


, and two sliding blocks


40


.




The casing


10


is formed by a seat


11


, and a top cover


12


. The seat


11


is a round disk and an inner edge thereof has a receiving space


111


. A bearing is engaged at a center of the receiving space


111


for installing a positioning round disk


20


. The periphery of the casing has an inlet


112


and an outlet


113


. The top cover


12


is also a round disk and is installed above the seat


11


. The top cover


12


has a penetrated eccentric hole


121


. The eccentric hole


121


is installed with a bearing


51


and a smaller rubber ring


53


. A larger annular rubber ring


52


is installed between the seat


11


and the top cover


12


for preventing fluid from draining out.




The positioning round disk


20


is slightly smaller than the round disk of the seat


11


and is placed in the receiving space


111


. One surface thereof is protruded with a positioning post


21


, and another surface is installed with a cruciform sliding groove


22


, and the bottom of the sliding groove


22


has a cruciform guide groove


221


. The lower edge of the sliding block


42


can be coupled with the guide groove


221


. Two sliding blocks


40


can be placed in the sliding groove


22


. The positioning post


21


is inserted into bearing


55


at the bottom of the seat


11


.




The driven rotary disk


30


is a round disk. One surface thereof is a rotary shaft


31


and another surface has two positioning rods


32


. The rotary shaft


31


is parallel to axial centers of the casing


10


and the positioning round disk


20


and is eccentric. Thereby, the rotary shaft


31


exactly passes through the eccentric hole


121


of the top cover


12


and thus protrudes out. The two positioning rods


32


are used for connecting the two sliding blocks


40


. The half of the distance between the centers of the two positioning rods


32


is equal to the distance between the axial centers of the rotary shaft


31


and the positioning round disk


20


.




The two sliding blocks


40


are rectangular blocks and are installed on the predetermined positions in the sliding groove


22


. Each sliding block


40


has a positioning hole


41


thereon for being inserted by the positioning rod


32


of the rotary disk


30


. The two sliding blocks


40


can be driven by the driven rotary disk


30


. The lower surface of the sliding blocks


40


is protruded with a guide unit


42


. When the two sliding blocks


40


are installed in the sliding groove


22


, the guide units


42


can be placed in the guide groove


221


. Thereby, the two sliding blocks


40


move steadily and tightly coupled in the groove.




Thereby, by above components, when power is input from the rotary shaft


31


of the driven rotary disk


30


, the two positioning rods


32


will drive the sliding blocks


40


to slide within the sliding groove


22


. Meanwhile, the positioning round disk


20


will also rotate therewith. When the driven rotary disk


30


rotates through two circles, the positioning round disk


20


only rotates through one circle. During rotation, the two sliding blocks


40


move along the cruciform sliding groove


22


(referring to

FIGS. 4

to


7


). Then, one side of each sliding block


40


presses fluid flowing out, and another side thereof will suck fluid into the sliding groove


22


.




To be more clearly, in the operation illustrated in

FIGS. 4

to


7


, the side of the inlet


112


illustrated by dark dashed lines in the inlet channel


79


represents that the input fluid is not pressed, while the side at the outlet


113


illustrated by light dashed lines in the outlet channel


80


represents fluid is being pressed by sliding block


40


. The seat


11


and the positioning round disk


20


from an inlet channel


79


and an outlet channel


80


. The inlet channel is connected to the inlet


1


.


12


and the outlet channel is connected to the outlet


113


. The inlet channel and the outlet channel are fluids isolated from one another.




The cruciform pump is suitable for pumping a fluid from one of a gas and liquid or from pumping a fluid containing gas and liquid.




The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
