Motion conversion apparatus for reciprocating linear motion
A motion conversion apparatus has been granted a patent (Publication Number: US11920475B2) that comprises a rodrack assembly with a gearshaft member designed to produce reciprocating linear motion along a specific direction through rotational motion. The gearshaft member includes a guiding surface arrangement to interact with guide members and a second gear connection member that engages with the first gear connection member in a specific manner. This design ensures that one revolution of the gearshaft member results in a single period of reciprocating linear motion of the rodrack assembly, with the guiding surface arrangement contacting one of the guide members at the endpoint of the motion.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to the engagement of the second gear connection member with the opposing engaging arrangements, the configuration of the guiding surface arrangement, the structure of the guide members, and the positioning of the gearshaft member. The motion conversion apparatus is also designed to maintain a constant linear speed during the reciprocating motion, ensuring efficiency and accuracy in its operation. Additionally, the patent extends to a pump assembly incorporating the motion conversion apparatus, where the reciprocating linear motion of the rodrack assembly drives the pumping member, with a motor facilitating the rotation of the gearshaft member to enable this motion. Overall, the patented technology offers a unique and efficient solution for converting rotational motion into reciprocating linear motion, with potential applications in various industries requiring precise and controlled movements.
