US Patent:

6651693, Nov 25, 2003

Filed:

Jul 9, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/191099

Inventors:

John M. Simmons - Henderson MI 48841
Tom M. Simmons - Hemlock MI 48626
David M. Simmons - Hemlock MI 48626

International Classification:

F16K 1504

US Classification:

13732905, 13751627, 251334, 251359

Abstract:

The check valve ( ) of the present invention is a ball-type valve that incorporates multiple annular valve seats ( ) of progressively smaller diameters for the specific purpose of providing a series of effective annular valve seats as the larger annular valve seats progressively deteriorate, and as the ball valve elements ( ) wear away (decrease in diameter) from use, for example, as abrasive slurry is pumped through the check valves and through the fluid pump. Each of the annular valve seats ( ) comprises a flexible or otherwise deformable annular lip defined by a cylindrical section having an annular groove ( ) formed therein slightly outboard of the cylindrical section, such that the cylindrical section may deform slightly outwardly into the annular groove, thereby effecting an improved functional sealing engagement with the ball valve element ( ) as the tip of the cylindrical section deforms outwardly into the annular groove. As abrasive slurry material is pumped through the fluid pump and through the check valve, the first annular valve seat ( ) defined by the cylindrical section and first surrounding annular groove ( ) deteriorates and the ball valve element wears away from the flow of abrasive slurry, causing the first annular valve seat to erode away and the ball valve element ( ) to wear down (decrease in diameter). The first annular valve seat slowly deteriorates, and therefore increases in diameter, and the ball valve element slowly wears away, decreasing in diameter, to the point where they become no longer effective as a fluid seal.

US Classification:

417395, 417374, 417393

Abstract:

A pneumatically-actuated reciprocating fluid pump and shuttle valve combination operates in an âair-assistâ mode and a ânon-air-assistâ mode. In the non-air-assist mode, the shuttle valve is shifted by a blast of pressurized supply air from the pneumatic chamber in its pumping stroke as the flexible diaphragms and drive shaft reach the end of their pumping stroke. This blast of pressurized air used to shift the shuttle valve has the effect of reducing the air pressure in the pneumatic chamber immediately prior to the point in time that the drive shaft reaches the end of its stroke in order to provide a cushioning effect at the end of each pumping strokes cycle, in order to lessen the effect of the drive shaft and diaphragms abruptly reversing direction at full air pressure. In the air-assist mode, a secondary source of compressed air is utilized to shift the shuttle valve, rather than drawing pressurized air from the pneumatic chamber during its pumping stroke. In the air-assist mode, the full effect of the pressurized air to the pump is directed to pump fluid through the pump, and is not lessened by tapping a minute amount compressed air at the end of each pumping stroke cycle for shifting the shuttle valve.
