48 results about "Lobe pump" patented technology

A lobe pump, or rotary lobe pump, is a type of positive displacement pump. It is similar to a gear pump except the lobes are designed to almost meet, rather than touch and turn each other. An early example of a lobe pump is the Roots Blower, patented in 1860. to blow combustion air to melt iron in blast furnaces, but now more commonly used as an engine supercharger.

Rotary hydraulic pump actuated multi-stroke surgical instrument

A surgical instrument (e.g., endocutter, grasper, cutter, staplers, clip applier, access device, drug / gene therapy delivery device, and energy device using ultrasound, RF, laser, etc.) may benefit from having a plurality of hydraulically actuated subsystems (e.g., severing, stapling, articulation, locking / unlocking, lockout enabling / disabling, grasping, etc.) supplied with hydraulic power from a trigger actuated rotary pump (e.g., lobe pump, rotary gear pump, internal rotating gear pump, flexible vane rotor pump, rotary vane pump). Thereby, an available amount of mechanical advantage available at a firing trigger may be optimally distributed to various end effector components, perhaps sequenced by an electroactive polymer or piezoelelectrically actuated function switch block.

PD Pumps with a Common Gearbox Module and Varying Capacities and Easy Access to Mechanical Seals

ActiveUS20090304540A1Ease in which the seals can be serviced or replacedOscillating piston enginesSealing arrangement for pumpsDrive shaftEngineering
Rotary lobe pump and circumferential piston pump designs are disclosed where the drive and driven shafts are detachably connected to their respective rotors. The rotors are disposed in a pump or rotor casing, which is sandwiched between a head cover and a gearbox. The drive and driven shafts pass through mechanical seal assemblies, which are sandwiched between the first and second rotors and the gear box respectively. The seal assemblies can be serviced or replaced by simply removing the head cover and removing the rotors from the drive and driven shafts. The pump casing does not need to be removed to replace or service the seal assemblies. Further, the capacities of the disclosed rotary lobe and circumferential piston pumps can be modified without changing the gearboxes or shaft length. To modify a pump capacity, all that needs to be changed are the rotors, the pump or rotor casing and, in some designs, the head cover or cover plate. In some designs, the cover plate is universal to the gearbox so that only the rotors and pump casing need to be changed to modify the pump capacity.

Toothed-Lobed Gear Pump

Toothed gears and lobed gears intermesh to create large volume pockets in gear sets of a given size. The pockets are larger than the pockets that exist in current tooth or lobe pumps and provide the benefit of a pump that better handles shear sensitive liquids. Preferably, the profiles of the teeth and of the lobes are involute-shaped to provide rolling contact and a fixed pressure angle between the teeth and lobes during engagement. The toothed gears and lobe gears improve upon standard spur and helical gear designs by omitting alternate teeth on the standard toothed gears and filling in corresponding gaps on the mating standard lobed gears. Additional tooth and lobed gear rotors may be added in tandem as additional pairs of gears to the shafts and circumferentially offset to provide driving tooth engagement between at least one pair of the toothed and lobed rotors at every point around the rotational circumference of the rotors. This spur gear or helical gear configuration eliminates the need for separate driving / synchronizing gears.
