BACKGROUND

Millions of people in undeveloped and underdeveloped countries depend on water for survival. In these regions of the world that lack the water distribution infrastructure of developed countries obtaining water from sources such as wells or pools often requires many hours and can consume much of an individuals routine.

Conventional water pumps are known in the art and are typically placed proximate the water source and have a pipe or similar element that is extended down into the water source wherein the pump is used for extraction of the water. These water pumps can be manually powered or powered by an electric or combustion motor. One issue with these conventional water pumps is that the pumping system requires that all components be disposed proximate the water source. In some environments this is undesirable. Additionally, water pumps that utilize electric or combustion motors have a higher cost of operation and require periodic maintenance. Further these styles of pumps in particular the combustion motor powered pump emit gases harmful to the atmosphere.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring now to the drawings submitted herewith, wherein various elements depicted therein are not necessarily drawn to scale and wherein through the views and figures like elements are referenced with identical reference numerals, there is illustrated a water pumping system 100 constructed according to the principles of the present invention.

The water pumping system 100 further includes a surface air pump 5 illustrated in particular in FIG. 1 herein. The surface air pump 5 further includes cylinder body 10 oriented in a vertical manner supported by frame 12. The cylinder body 10 is manufactured from a suitable durable material such as but not limited to non-corrosive metal. Disposed within the cylinder body 10 is a piston 15. The piston 15 is sealably mounted within the interior volume of the cylinder body 10 and is vertically movable therein. Operably coupled to the upper surface of the piston is rod 17. Rod 17 is operably coupled to handle 19 via union 21. Union 21 is constructed to facilitate vertical movement of the rod 17 as handle 19 is engaged by a user and moved in an upwards-downwards manner wherein the handle 19 is rotatably movable on rod 23. Disposed within the cylinder body 10 are first valve 25 and second valve 27. As the handle 19 is moved in an upwards-downward movement the rod 21 facilitates the piston 15 movement within the interior volume of the cylinder body 15. As the piston 15 moves downward toward end 28 the air within the cylinder body 10 is forced out hose 30. Hose 30 is operably coupled to hose 32 of the submersible pump 80 and facilitates air being introduced thereinto. First valve 25 and second valve 27 are conventional valves that function to isolate and control the direction of the airflow within the interior volume of the cylinder body 10. By way of example but not by way of limitation, the second valve 27 functions to isolate the lower portion 33 of the cylinder body 10 as the piston 15 is being moved in an upwards direction so as to ensure that air is not drawn back into the cylinder body 10 via hose 30. It is further contemplated within the scope of the present invention that the first valve 25 and second valve 27 are configured so as to promote a consistent positive pressure of air being introduced into hose 30 during both the upwards and downwards stroke of the handle 19. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the piston 15, first valve 25 and second valve 27 could be configured in numerous different manners in order to achieve the desired objective herein. Furthermore, it is contemplated within the scope of the present invention that any number of conventional valves could be used to achieve the desired objective as set forth herein for the surface air pump 5.

The frame 12 includes a plurality of support members 35 configured to provide support for the cylinder body 10 and the structure of the surface air pump 5. The support members 35 are manufactured from a suitable durable material. While a particular configuration of support members 35 has been illustrated herein, it is contemplated within the scope of the present invention that the surface air pump 5 could be manufactured in a variety of different configurations utilizing any number of support members 35 to provide the required structure to accomplish the stated objective. Secured to the surface air pump 5 is water pipe 37. Water pipe 37 includes first end 38 and second end 39. First end 38 is operably coupled to outlet 140 and receives water therefrom wherein the water is provided to a user via second end 39. The surface air pump 5 is designed to be placed proximate a water source and is operably coupled to the submersible pump 80 as described herein. While a particular embodiment of the surface air pump 5 has been disclosed herein, it is further contemplated within the scope of the present invention that the surface air pump 5 could be constructed in numerous different manners in order to achieve the desired function of providing positive air pressure to the submersible pump 80.

Illustrated in particular in FIG. 2 herein is the submersible pump 80. The submersible pump 80 is placed in a body of water wherein it is desirable for a user to extract the water for use thereof. The submersible pump 80 is completely submersed in the desired body of water. Hose 32 operably couples the surface air pump 5 to the submersible pump 80. Hose 32 is operably coupled to nozzle 55. Nozzle 55 is cylindrical in shape, substantially hollow and is constructed from a suitable durable material such as but not limited to metal or plastic. Nozzle 55 is slidably mounted within support member 60. Support member 60 includes a plurality of walls 62 and a bottom 63 forming an interior volume 64 with opening 65. While three walls 62 are illustrated herein forming a support member 60 that is rectangular in shape, it is contemplated within the scope of the present invention that the support member 60 could be constructed using different amounts of walls. Pivotally mounted to wall 67 via pin 68 is cross-member 70. Cross-member 70 is rectangular in shape and planar in manner and is manufactured from a suitable durable material such as but not limited to metal. Secured to cross-member 70 extending downward therefrom is vertical member 72. Vertical member 72 is planar in manner and is parallel with wall 67 and adjacent thereto. Cross-member 70 and vertical member 72 comprise the nozzle movement apparatus 75 that is generally t-shaped and is disposed within the interior volume 64 of the support member 60. The nozzle movement apparatus 75 functions to laterally move the nozzle 55 intermediate the openings 77 for the first water chamber 82 and second water chamber 85. Nozzle 55 includes pin 87 extending therefrom being perpendicular thereto so as to engage slot 89 of vertical member 77. Slot 89 is oval in shape so as to allow lateral movement without impingement of the nozzle 55. The nozzle movement apparatus 55 functions to facilitate the lateral movement of the nozzle 55 wherein the vertical member 72 moves in a pendulum type pattern adjacent and parallel to wall 67. As the vertical member 72 moves in the aforementioned pattern the nozzle 55 slidably traverses intermediate the openings 77. The pendulum type movement pattern of the vertical member 72 is directed by the first control rod 90 and second control rod 92 engaging the cross member 70.

Extending from the first water chamber 82 and the second water chamber 85 are first control rod 90 and second control rod 92. The first control rod 90 and second control rod 92 are vertically movable having ends 93,94 that are perpendicular so as to engage ends 198,199 of cross member 70 of the nozzle movement apparatus 75. First control rod 90 has a second end 189 wherein the second end 189 is operably coupled to piston 105 disposed within first water chamber 82 utilizing suitable durable techniques. Piston 105 is sealably and slidably mounted within first water chamber 82 and is operably coupled to spring 107. Spring 107 is mounted to the top members 110 of wire frame 210 suspended across first opening 112. Spring 107 functions to facilitate movement of piston 105 intermediate its first position and its second position. Beneath the piston 105 is the sliding valve 115. The sliding valve 115 is cylindrical in shape and tubular being of an external diameter that slightly less than the internal diameter of the first water chamber 82. The sliding valve 115 includes an upper edge 116 that is perpendicular in orientation to the wall 114 of the sliding valve 115. The sliding valve is movably mounted on wire frame 210 as further discussed herein. First water chamber 82 further includes intake apertures 120. Intake apertures 120 function to allow water to enter into the first water chamber 82 when sliding valve 115 is in its first position wherein the sliding valve 115 is above intake apertures 120 (as shown in FIG. 2) so as to permit water to flow into the first water chamber 82. The upwards movement of the sliding valve 115 is limited by restraint 175. The restraint 175 includes first end 176 and second end 177. First end 176 is secured to mounting disk 225 utilizing suitable durable techniques and the second end 177 is secured to the upper edge 116. The restraint 175 is manufactured from a suitable durable material and functions to limit the upwards travel of the sliding valve 115 wherein the lower edge 193 is above the intake apertures 120. Mounting disk 225 is annular in shape having a center bore 227. Mounting disk 225 is fixedly secured in position on the wire frame 210 utilizing suitable durable techniques. Below the mounting disk 225 within the wire frame 210 is disc 250. Disc 250 is annular in shape and planar in manner and has a diameter that is greater than that of center bore 227. Disc 250 has a first position and a second position. In its first position the disc 250 is adjacent to the mounting disk 225 so as to inhibit water flow from entering the first water chamber 82 and be forced through outlet 140 of union 125 as further described herein. In its second position, as illustrated herein in FIG. 2, the disc 250 is distal to mounting disk 225. In this position, the water disposed within the first water chamber 82 is being evacuated by the downward motion of the piston 105 causing the disc 250 to be moved to its second position so as to allow the water to flow to union 125. The wire frame 210 provides a support frame for the mounting and movement of the piston 105, sliding valve 115 and mounting disk 225. As shown in FIG. 2 herein, the wire frame 210 is journaled through the piston 105, sliding valve 115 and mounting disk 225. As previously discussed herein the piston 105 and sliding valve 115 are movably secured to the wire frame 210. Utilizing the wire frame 210 provides consistent alignment and inhibits lateral movement of the elements secured thereto.

The second water chamber 85 is constructed identically to the first water chamber 82 having the same components therein. A listing of the elements of the second water chamber 85 is as follows: piston 145, spring 147, wire frame 149, sliding valve 150, intake apertures 152, mounting disk 350, restraint 365, disk 375. The aforementioned listed elements disposed within the second water chamber 85 and illustrated herein, are identically constructed to and operable as the corresponding elements described herein for the first water chamber 82. The first water chamber 82 and second water chamber 85 are operably coupled with a union 125. Union 125 is generally u-shaped being manufactured from a suitable material having outlet 140. Outlet 140 functions to allow water to evacuate either the first water chamber 82 or second water chamber 85. Outlet 140 is operably coupled to end 38 of water pipe 37.

A description of the operation of the submersible pump 80 is as follows. Nozzle 55 is placed over opening 112 prior to submersion of submersible pump 80. Air pressure is introduced into the first water chamber 82 via the surface air pump 5. As air pressure is introduced to the first water chamber 82 the piston 105 begins to move downwards toward sliding valve 115 which is moved to its position wherein the sliding valve is aligned with intake apertures 120 preventing water egressing therefrom. As the piston 105 moves downward the disc 250 moves away from mounting disk 225 allowing water to flow through center bore 227 and egress towards union 125. As the water begins to enter the union 125 the pressure increase therein causes disc 375 to move such that it is adjacent mounting disk 350 inhibiting water flow into the second water chamber 85 so as to promote water flow through outlet 140 towards first end 38 for collection. During the downward movement of piston 105, first control rod 90 moves downward wherein at the end of the stroke of the piston 105, end 93 will engage cross member 70 pushing downward thereon causing the pendulum movement of the vertical member 72. This movement facilitates the lateral movement of nozzle 55 to opening 77 of the second water chamber 85. During the aforementioned cycle of the first water chamber 82, the sliding valve 150 is moved upwards by the positive pressure from the opposing first water chamber 82 and the negative pressure created above the sliding valve 150 from piston 147 being moved upwards by spring 147. As air pressure is introduced into the second water chamber 85, piston 145 moves downward, sliding valve 150 moves downward to cover intake apertures 152, disc 375 moves away from center bore 351 and the water disposed within the second water chamber 85 egress out center bore 351. As the water from the second water chamber 85 enters the union 125, the pressure therein moves disc 250 against mounting disk 225 closing the center bore 227 forcing the water to exit outlet 140. During this cycle of the second water chamber 85, the sliding valve 115 moves upward exposing the intake apertures 120 so as to allow water to enter the first water chamber 82. Additionally, piston 105 is returned towards support member 60 by spring 107. Returning to the cycle within the second water chamber 85, second control rod 92 moves downward as piston 145 is moved downward by air pressure and end 94 engages cross member 70 near the end of the stroke of piston 145 as most of the water has been evacuated from the second water chamber. Proximate the end of the stroke of piston 145, end 94 engages the end 199 of the cross member 70 so as to facilitate the lateral movement of the air nozzle 55 by the nozzle movement apparatus 75. The reciprocity of the aforementioned cycles continue as air pressure is introduced via surface air pump 5.

While a particular description of elements of the nozzle movement apparatus 75 has been disclosed herein, it is contemplated within the scope of the present application that the nozzle movement apparatus 75 could be constructed in various manners in order to achieve the functionality as described herein.
