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.
