ABSTRACT:
A solar-powered reciprocating pump for submersible use in a well, such as a water well. The pump has a pumping section with a plunger therein. The pump also has a drive section with a rotating output shaft and a transmission section which converts the rotating output of the shaft into reciprocating motion of the plunger. In one embodiment, the transmission comprises a gear train. In a second embodiment, the transmission comprises a ball screw which is actuated by a reversible motor. In a third embodiment, the transmission comprises a reversible ball screw which provides reciprocating action in response to rotation of a shaft in a single direction. The pumping section comprises an outer case portion with a cylinder disposed therein such that an annular volume is defined therebetween. A system of flow passageways and inlet and outlet valves provide for pumping liquid into and out of the pump in response to movement of the plunger in both upward and downward directions. A tube which acts to seal around the plunger rod is supported on sliding bushings on the rod. A sealed end cap is provided adjacent to the drive section so that liquid which may come in contact with electrical wires externally of the pumping apparatus cannot come in contact with a motor in the drive section.
