(54) | Separation system between the high-pressure chamber and the low-pressure chamber in a volumetric pump |
(57) The finding describes a separation system (10) between the high-pressure chamber
and the low-pressure chamber in a volumetric pump of the type with gears (36, 38).
The separation system (10) comprises a hub (12), torsionally forming a unit with a
central pin (14) around which rotates a first gear (36) of the gears of the pump,
and at least one half-moon shaped dividing wall (16), the function of which is to
separate the high and low pressure chambers that are created following the rotation
of the gears (36, 38) of the pump. The half-moon shaped dividing wall (16) consists
of a separate component with respect to the hub (12) and is provided with connection
means (18, 20) to the body of the hub (12) itself, so as to improve the efficiency
and the resistance to wear of the separation system (10) and of the entire pump.
