A rotor drive mechanism and pump apparatus according to the present invention may cause an external screw type rotor of a uniaxial eccentric screw pump to rotate and carry out a revolution movement. The rotor drive mechanism further comprises a shaft sealing structure configured such that a gap between an outer peripheral portion of an end portion of the revolution shaft is located on the external screw type rotor side and an inner peripheral portion of the casing in the pump apparatus is sealed. The rotor drive mechanism provides for a reduced amount of heat and vibrations to be generated when the rotor is rotated at high speed and further allows for lowering of contact pressure between an outer surface of the rotor and an inner surface of a stator inner hole.

Rotor drive mechanism and pump apparatus

A pump apparatus includes a first rotor drive mechanism configured to transfer rotation of an input shaft portion to an output shaft portion coupled to an external screw type rotor of a uniaxial eccentric screw pump, the input shaft portion being rotated with a central axis thereof kept in a certain position, and a uniaxial eccentric screw pump. The output shaft portion is rotatably provided via a bearing at a position eccentrically located with respect to the input shaft portion. The rotation of the input shaft portion is transferred through a first power transmission mechanism, including an inner gear, to the output shaft portion to cause the output shaft portion to carry out an eccentric rotational movement. The input shaft portion and the output shaft portion are arranged inside a pitch circle of the inner gear.

Rotor drive mechanism, eccentric shaft sealing structure, and pump apparatus

This disclosure relates to a uniaxial eccentric screw pump. A boss 10a is integrally formed on one end (on the side of a pump casing 8) of the rotor 10, the screw pump 100, and one end of a flexible shaft 9 is inserted in the boss 10a and bonded together with the rotor 10 integrally by means of an adhesive. The flexible shaft 9 is made at least in part from a rod-like member which is extruded from PEEK (polyetheretherketone) which is one of the engineering plastics, into a cylinder. A metal rod 17 is provided in the middle of the flexible shaft in the longitudinal direction, or a metal sleeve is mounted over the outer circumference of the flexible shaft.
