A blocking device for a pump having a rotor that is rotatable about a rotation axis in a pump duct and comprises a rotor hub and a rotor collar that extends from the rotor hub in the radial direction and encircles it in an undulating manner, wherein the blocking device comprises a plurality of blocking elements which are configured to block the pump duct in the axial direction on both sides of the rotor collar, wherein each of the plurality of blocking elements has a slot with a U-shaped sealing profile for abutting against the rotor collar, a sealing face for abutting against the rotor hub, and two contacting faces for abutting against a seat of the pump duct and/or against a contacting face of another blocking element of the plurality of blocking elements, and to a pump having a corresponding blocking device.

Pump including a rotor and a plurality of blocking device elements for blocking a pump duct

A pump includes a rotor and a pump housing. The rotor is rotatable about a rotation axis and comprises a rotor hub and a rotor collar. The rotor collar extends from the rotor hub in the radial direction and encircles the rotor hub in an undulating manner. The pump housing comprises a first axial housing component, a central annular housing component, and a second axial housing component. A pump duct is formed (i) in the axial direction by the first and second housing components and (ii) in the radial direction by the central annular housing component and the rotor.

Pump

A pump includes a rotor, a pump housing, and a blocking device. The rotor is rotatable about a rotation axis and comprises a rotor hub and a rotor collar that extends from the rotor hub in a radial direction and encircles the rotor hub in an undulating manner. The pump housing forms a pump duct with the rotor. The pump duct connects a first inlet/outlet space to a second inlet/outlet space. The blocking device is arranged between the first and second inlet/outlet spaces and comprises a blocking element that blocks the pump duct in an axial direction on both sides of the rotor collar. The blocking device has first and second seats for the blocking element. A spacing between the first and second seats in a circumferential direction is greater than the spacing between first and second contacting faces of the blocking element in the circumferential direction.
