ABSTRACT:
A pump assembly having a pair of parallel annular hollow manifolds forming a pump frame with a series of pump units carried by the manifolds radially arranged relative to a central drive shaft which extends axially of the centers of the ring-like manifolds. The drive shaft has an eccentric which cooperates with a bearing hub to impart orbital movement to the hub when the shaft rotates. Each pump unit has a cylinder and piston with a piston rod connected to the piston being coupled to the bearing hub to reciprocate the piston within the cylinder. A diaphragm carried by the cylinder is spaced from the piston to define a chamber between the diaphragm and piston containing a quantity of driving liquid with the opposite side of the diaphragm forming a wall portion of a cavity for the fluid to be pumped, this cavity having inlet and outlet valves housed in a tubular valve body connected to the manifolds. The drive shaft may have a pair of eccentrics rotatably engaged with each other whereby upon rotation of the eccentrics relative to each other, as when the drive shaft is rotated in opposite direction, variation in the stroke of the pistons within the pump units can be achieved.
