Abstract (en)

The pump comprises at least a piston-cylinder group, having a liquid pump chamber (30), and a piston-cylinder pair. A flexible diaphragm (35) separates the pump chamber (30) from the cylinder mouth (31), which is connected to the front thrust surface of the piston (32); a thrust chamber (37), external of the pump chamber (30), is delimited between the diaphragm (35), the thrust surface of the piston (32) and the guide surface (31 b) of the cylinder, and is sealedly closed and filled with non-compressible thrust oil. The rear tank is delimited on the front transversal side by the piston and on the lateral side by a tubular lateral wall (41), comprising a front portion having an internal surface which defines the cylindrical guide surface (31 b) for the piston (32) and a rear portion (41 a) joined to the front portion. To restore the thrust oil level, lost by leakage from the thrust chamber to the rear tank, the tubular wall 41 comprises at least an open-topped groove (31 b), and facing the lateral surface (32b) of the piston, which develops substantially axially, having a rear end connected to the rear tank (40) and a front end that when the piston (32) is in the environs of the bottom dead centre, opens frontally of the front seal edge (33a) and communicates with the thrust chamber (37).
