Abstract:
A liquid transfer pump comprises a bellows-type chamber retractable and extendable by a reciprocating drive. The pump is fed by feed stock inflow controlled by a flexible tubular pinch-type valve, and propelled out of the chamber through an identical pinch-type valve. Quick pneumatic relief valves mounted directly on the pinch-type valves ensure instantaneous opening of the pinch-type valves thereby regulating liquid flow. Synchronous regulation of pump cycles is maintained by computer or microprocessor control.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an embodiment that introduces a novel system to pump fluids, or, gases or, semi-solids, or, solids, from one place to another. Conventionally, a motorized pump systems are used to pump any given fluid from one position to another, nonetheless, in this invention not only a new system of pumping fluids is so introduced, but, existing functions of a conventional motorized pumping systems are saliently augmented by the pipe pump system. The pipe pump functions basically, by a series of electromagnets, that are placed around a flexible and resilient tube, (a rubber tube, for instance), and when these said electromagnet arrangements are actuated, then, that causes the pipe pump to pump out fluids, by squeezing on the fluids, or gases, contained within.
Abstract:
A check valve which allows liquid to flow in one direction while preventing liquid from flowing in a direction reverse to said one direction, the check valve comprising: an inflow port allowing liquid to flow therein; an outflow port allowing liquid to flow out thereof; a valve seat provided between the inflow port and the outflow port, the valve seat having a valve hole through which the inflow port communicates with the outflow port; a valve chamber provided between the valve seat and the outflow port; a valve element disposed in the valve chamber, the valve element opening and closing the valve hole; a plurality of holding surfaces located radially outside the valve element, the holding surfaces extending in an axial direction; and an elastic member supported on the holding surfaces and set in the valve chamber, the elastic member applying an elastic force directed toward the valve hole to the valve element.
Abstract:
A milking installation with a milking robot for automatically connecting teat cups to the teats of a dairy animal has milk lines extending between the teat cups and a milk de-aeration unit or milk glass. A de-aeration port is present at the top of the de-aeration unit and a de-aeration line connects the milk glass to a vacuum system. At the bottom of the milk glass a milk inlet line is provided which connects the milk glass to the milk pump. The milk pump includes a milk inlet, a pump housing, a milk outlet. The milk pump is a membrane pump which type of pump is known to be gentle to the milk and thus reduce occurrence of lypolysis of the milk when pumped through the milking installation.
Abstract:
A liquid can be delivered with a simple configuration. A liquid delivery method includes allowing a liquid to flow in a tube having elasticity depending on a pressure of a gas filled in an inner space between a tube housing covering an outside of the tube and an outer surface of the tube; obtaining a magnitude of a pressure of the liquid flowing in the tube as a first value; obtaining a magnitude of the pressure of the gas filled in the inner space as a second value; calculating a difference between the first value and the second value as a third value; and detecting a status of the tube on the basis of the third value.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pump, which comprises a pump body, a pair of check rings and a pneumatic control valve. When the pneumatic control valve is operated, a main shaft in the pump body is enabled to reciprocally move in a shaft hole, thereby enabling two diaphragms to be stretched and compressed at the same time for performing the compressing and the sucking stroke for the liquid; when subject to the hydraulic pressure, an arc-shaped convex ring of each of the check rings is deformed, and a contract ring is contracted for enclosing the main shaft thereby forming a liquid checking effect; when each of the check rings is not subject to the hydraulic pressure or the air pressure, the arc-shaped convex ring is not deformed thereby forming a slit between the contract ring and the main shaft.
Abstract:
A bellows pump including in its pump case (5) a pair of plastic bellows (6) that expand and contract to alternatingly execute an output stroke that sends fluid out of pump chambers (7) defined by the bellows and a suction stroke that supplies fluid to the pump chambers. Metal actuation plates (10) are provided in the pump case so as to be movable in the axial direction, and these actuation plates are fixedly connected to the bottom walls (6a) of the bellows in peripheral portions thereof so that the opposed end faces (10c, 6g) of the actuation plates and fluid-contact portions (6f), which are at the center of the bottom walls of the bellows and come into contact with fluid in the pump chambers, are set in a close contact to each other. The close-contact portions are sealed by O-rings (15).

Abstract:
A self-contained pump is disclosed that is an integrated pump. It has a reservoir, a pumping mechanism, and at least one outlet. The pumping mechanism is for controlled compression of the reservoir to force a required volume of fluid in the reservoir through the at least one outlet.
Abstract:
A flexible tank has a volume-variable chamber formed so as to be sectioned by a flexible tube that is expanded or contracted in accordance with the amount of the contained chemical liquid, and adaptor parts attached to the flexible tube. A primary-side port open to the volume-variable chamber is open into one of the adaptor parts, and a secondary-side port open to the volume-variable chamber is open into the other adaptor part. The contact between the chemical liquid and air in the volume-variable chamber is suppressed to minimum level, thereby containing the chemical liquid without deteriorating the cleanliness of the chemical liquid, and improving discharge accuracy of the chemical liquid.
