Eccentric pump with lock valve and with bidirectional rotational operation

An eccentric pump with lock valve and with bidirectional rotational operation, mainly for lubricant circulation of drives comprises a stationary outer casing having two parallel side walls and a cylindrical inner surface between the side walls, and further having inlet and outlet openings being sealingly separated and terminating in the cylindrical inner surface, a middle shaft arranged within the casing concentrically to the cylindrical inner surface and having a cylindrical surface being eccentric to the middle shaft as well as to the cylindrical inner surface of the casing, a circular sealing ring being sealingly displaceable in respect of the eccentric surface of the shaft as well as to inner wall portions of the casing, and further having a radial slot sealingly engaging a stationary pin with its both limiting surfaces. The improvement achieved by this invention is that an inner slide member is arranged between the casing and the circular sealing ring, the slide member being sealingly but moveably attached to inner surfaces of the casing, and the slide member being rotatable between a first position and a second position, and the casing has two inlet openings and at least one outlet opening, and the slide member has two through bores, the first through bore is in communication with one inlet opening, the second through bore with at least one outlet opening, in the first position of the slide member, and the first through bore is in communication with at least one outlet opening, the second through bore with the other inlet opening, in the second position of the slide member, and the pin is fixed to the slide member and is sealingly separating the through bores from each other. Therefore, the eccentric pump can be mounted directly on the force transmitting shaft of the drive and the shaft can rotate in both directions without stopping the liquid discharge.
