| (54) | Pump |
| (57) A double action rotary pump forcibly delivers fluid such as liquid or gas. A transmission
unit operates at uniform or non-uniform angular speeds using driving force transmitted
from a motor via a power transmission system. An operating unit is provided in series
with the transmission unit. A piston of the operating unit has a pair of heads, which
rotate at non-uniform angular speeds in a counteracting fashion while maintaining
the distance between shafts, and divides the spaces inside cylinders. The volumes
of the divided spaces of the cylinders are repeatedly and alternately contracted and
expanded in response to the rotation of the piston, so that the cylinders counteractively
and continuously perform intake and exhaust operations, thereby forcibly delivering
fluid. The structure of the power transmission system is improved such that the sum
of flow rates that are pumped by the piston at a predetermined time point stays uniform.
