Hydraulic Pump

A hydraulic pump includes a work port, a high-flow piston, multiple high-pressure pistons, and an unloading valve. The work port couples to a fluid supply line of a hydraulic tool. The high-flow piston supplies fluid along a first flow path to the work port. The high-pressure pistons supply fluid along a second flow path to the work port. The unloading valve is fluidly coupled to the first flow path and the second flow path, and actuatable between an open state and a closed state. The unloading valve is configured to (i) permit fluid to flow from the high-flow piston to the work port in the open state, (ii) inhibit fluid from flowing from the high-flow piston to the work port in the closed state, and (iii) actuate from the open state to the closed state when a pressure of the fluid in the second flow path exceeds a threshold pressure.

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP

A seal ring is in contact with an outer peripheral surface of a plunger. A biasing ring is made of a material having a lower fuel resistance than the seal ring, and is provided radially outwardly with respect to the seal ring in a seal chamber so as to bias the seal ring against the plunger. An axial position of a portion of the seal ring where a surface pressure on the plunger is maximum is defined as a maximum surface pressure position. The seal ring has diameter changing portions in both axial directions with respect to the maximum surface pressure position. The diameter changing portions are formed so as to have an outer diameter smaller than that of the portion corresponding to the maximum surface pressure position.

A lubricator reservoir uses adapter components so that the lube box that can be mounted on any high speed compressors. The use of a single lubricator reservoir with adapters for different compressors enables reduced inventory and guarantees the owner/operator can always get their compressors up and running in a timely manner and reduce lost revenue.

VALVE SHAFT PUMP WITH COORDINATED PUMPING AND VALVING OPERATIONS

Pump subsystem for fluid delivery (e.g., in a wearable patch pump) comprises a fluid chamber with pumping motion and a valve shaft assembly with valving motion, both being driven by the same drive mechanism. Fluid chamber has variable volume chamber provided by a piston driven by the drive mechanism and translated relative to a plug in the pump housing. Piston extends the fluid chamber during an intake stroke and retracts the fluid chamber during a discharge stroke. Valve assembly has at least one valve shaft controllably translated by the drive mechanism to selectively align a first throughway with an opening in the pump chamber and a fluid intake port for an intake stroke to draw fluid into the fluid chamber, and align a second throughway with the opening in the pump hamber and a fluid discharge port for an discharge stroke to discharge fluid from the fluid chamber.

CAM, FUEL INJECTION PUMP, AND ENGINE

The purpose of the present invention is to increase the pressure of fuel while reducing an increase in the maximum lift amount of a cam and deterioration of a fuel injection ability. This cam for use in a fuel injection pump that increases the pressure of fuel supplied into a fuel supply chamber by an axial movement of a plunger. The cam includes a first cam surface that causes an increase rate of an axial speed of the plunger when the cam rotates at a constant speed, in a pre-stroke period until the plunger increases the pressure of the fuel in the fuel supply chamber, to be a first increase rate, and a second cam surface that causes the increase rate of the axial speed of the plunger when the cam rotates at the constant speed, in a pressure increasing period that is a period from a start of increasing the pressure of the fuel in the fuel supply chamber by the plunger, to be a second increase rate, wherein the first increase rate is set higher than the second increase rate.
