Abstract

The dynamic fluid device has a first pumping arrangement and second pumping arrangement arranged in parallel with each other to pump a pressurized fluid to user devices; at least a distributor member interposed amongst the first pumping arrangement, second pumping arrangement and the user devices and connected to them with connection arrangements, the at least a distributor member being arranged to connect singly and/or jointly and/or according to predetermined sequences, the first pumping arrangement and/or the second pumping arrangement to the user devices.

Claims (26)

1. Dynamic fluid device comprising:

a first pumping arrangement and a second pumping arrangement arranged in parallel with each other to pump a pressurized fluid to user devices;

a distributor member interposed amongst said first pumping arrangement, said second pumping arrangement and said user devices and connected to them with connection arrangements, wherein said distributor member is arranged to connect at least one of said first pumping arrangement and said second pumping arrangement to said user devices;

wherein said distributor member comprises:

a body element in which a sliding chamber is obtained, said body element being fitted with connection holes to connect with said user devices, with said first pumping arrangement, with said second pumping arrangement, and with discharge means;

a distributor element slidingly accommodated in said sliding chamber and adapted, through said sliding, to open and shut said connection holes;

a contrast member for contrasting said sliding of the distributor element;

wherein said connection holes comprise:

a first annular-shaped connection hole between said sliding chamber and said first pumping arrangement,

a second annular-shaped connection hole between said sliding chamber and said second pumping arrangement,

a third annular-shaped connection hole between said sliding chamber and said discharge means,

a fourth annular-shaped connection hole between said sliding chamber and said discharge means,

a fifth connection hole between said sliding chamber and a user device of said user devices, and

a sixth connection hole between said sliding chamber and another user device of said user devices and

wherein said distributor element comprises a cylindrical body provided with at least three perimeter grooves obtained in succession on an outer surface of said cylindrical body, a first groove being provided to connect, by means of said sliding, said second connection hole and said fourth connection hole together, a second groove being provided to connect, by means of said sliding, said first connection hole and said third connection hole together, a third groove being provided to connect, by means of said sliding, said first hole and said sixth hole together.

2. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 1 , wherein said first pumping arrangement and said second pumping arrangement comprise a first pump and a second pump respectively, both with a fixed flow rate.

3. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 2 , wherein connection conduits are provided in said body element between said user devices and said sliding chamber and between said first pump, said second pump and said sliding chamber.

4. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 1 wherein said sliding chamber is cylindrically shaped and features a first end closed with a plug member and an opposing second end closed with said contrast member.

5. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 4 wherein said distributor element comprises a cylindrical body which contains an axial through conduit which has a third open end that faces said plug member and an opposing fourth end featuring first crosswise openings flowing into said sliding chamber, second crosswise openings flowing into said sliding chamber being provided between said first crosswise openings and said third open end.

6. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 1 wherein a further user device of said user devices is connected to said first pumping arrangement and second pumping arrangement.

7. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 5 wherein said second crosswise openings open into said third groove.

8. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 5 wherein said first crosswise openings are provided to connect, by means of said sliding of said cylindrical body, said through conduit with said sixth hole.

9. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 5 wherein said contrast member comprises: a plug element that can be screwed into said second end; a first housing created axially inside said plug element; an elastic contrast spring member housed in said first housing and contained between a bottom of the same and an opposing second concave housing obtained in said fourth end.

10. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 9 wherein said second concave housing is provided with connecting radial openings with a corresponding seventh hole made in said body element, said seventh hole being connected to a storage tank.

11. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 1 wherein between said sliding chamber and said user devices is provided a detecting pipe to detect pressure in said user devices, by means of a signal flowing near to said second end of said sliding chamber through a connecting conduit.

12. Dynamic fluid device according to claim 1 wherein said first pumping arrangement and said second pumping arrangement comprise a first pump and a second pump respectively, at least one of which is of the fixed flow rate type and the other of the variable flow rate type.
