The invention relates to any field that requires suctioning and dispensing of fluids of various viscosities from and into a mechanical assembly and has the ability of using bulk grease loading at any angle. Predominantly, the present invention is in the technical field of suctioning and/or lubricating such fluids from the cavity of general purpose mechanical assemblies (i.e. robotic RV reducers used in industrial robotic arms, general purpose gearboxes used in various mechanical assemblies such as conveyors and internal combustion engines).
Present day fluid dispensing and suctioning devises are not power driven and don't provide power driven control of pressure, volume or flow. Existing tools require manual physical force for dispensing the fluid and/or loading the gun with the fluid. The most common tools are the Caulking gun (U.S. Pat. No.: 2,768,768), the High viscosity oil suction and dispensing tool (U.S. Pat. No.: 8,181,829), and the Optional loading grease gun (U.S. Pat. No.: 3,059,819).
The Caulking gun (U.S. Pat. No.: 2,768,768) is used for dispensing, requires the use of pre-filled cartridges a lot of physical power for pushing the piston to dispense the fluid and its purpose per the patent description is to provide a simple and inexpensive calking gun which will completely eliminate after flow following gun operation. It cannot and is not intended to extract fluids from the end assembly.
The High viscosity oil suction and dispensing tool (U.S. Pat. No.8,181,829) requires the use of bulk grease which is filled through the use of physical force by pulling the triggers to the handle (manually pumping inwards) and pulling the piston to fill the cylinder. The fluid is dispensed and/or extracted through the use of physical power by pulling the triggers to the handle and pushing or pulling the piston to rotate the rod either in the forward or backward direction to fill or empty the cylinder. It is not a motorized handling operation.
The Optional loading grease gun (U.S. Pat. No.: 3,059,819) which provides the option of using cartridges or bulk grease, when using bulk grease it is filled through the use of physical force by pulling the piston to fill the cylinder. It is not a motorized handling operation.
The present invention seeks to provide a solution to present day fluid dispensing and suctioning devises that are not power driven and don't provide power driven nor selectable options for control of pressure, volume or flow. The present invention apparatus has the ability to suction and dispense fluids of various viscosities using a power train (such as but not limited to the use of a cordless drill motor, a software controlled system that consists of a servo motor, hydraulic or pneumatic rotating system which includes the use of a belt or gear type of assembly). This invention will dispense fluids of various viscosities using the pressure required by the receiving assembly; it is capable of dispensing to both low and high pressure environments. Regular fluid dispensing devises require manual physical force for either suction or dispensing of fluids and none provide power driven control of pressure, volume, or flow.
The invention relates to any field that requires suctioning and/or dispensing fluids of various viscosities (i.e. oil, grease or other like fluids) through a nozzle into a container or mechanical assembly (such as but not limited to robotic RV reducers used in industrial robotic arms, general purpose gearboxes used in various mechanical assemblies such as conveyors and internal combustion engines) for the purposes of transfer of fluids (such as but not limited to lubricating a system, injecting lubricant fluids into light and heavy industrial machines etc). This apparatus can be used in fluid transfer, dispensing and injection applications requiring monitoring of flow pressure and volume.
