Latest Patents
Pieters holds a patent for a "Gear pump with suction shoe at gear mesh point." This invention features a pump that includes a block and a cup-like member, which together define a pump cavity. The design incorporates an inlet and an outlet duct, along with three parallel pins. The drive and driven gears are mounted on two of these pins, ensuring that one face of each gear is tightly pressed against the block. The two ducts are strategically placed on opposite sides of the mesh point of the gears. A shoe is mounted on the third pin, which overlaps the inlet duct and the mesh point of the gears, extending about two teeth to either side. A spring biases the shoe into contact with the gears and the block, creating a pump chamber. Once a pressure differential between the inlet and outlet ducts is established, this differential enhances the spring's effectiveness. The drive gear can be powered by a motor-driven annular magnet located outside the cup-like member, with a smaller magnet inside that is connected to the drive gear.
