Pump
A pump ( 1 ) with an oscillating part having a housing ( 2 ) with a working chamber ( 3 ) and a crankcase ( 4 ) defined from the working chamber by the pump part. A pump drive mechanism ( 6 ) with a drive shaft ( 7 ) is located inside the crankcase ( 4 ) and the drive shaft is mounted on bearings ( 8, 9 ) that are arranged in the walls of the crankcase. The pump has a suction inlet separate from the crankcase. The pump ( 1 ) includes at least one flow channel in the crankcase wall for compensating pressure in the crankcase when the pump part oscillates and a flow damper arranged in the at least one flow channel. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one passage hole having at least one bearing therein is configured as the flow channel.
1. Pump ( 1 ) with an oscillating pump part, comprising a pump housing ( 2 ) with a working chamber ( 3 ) and a crankcase ( 4 ) separated from the chamber by the pump part, a pump drive ( 6 ) with a drive shaft ( 7 ) is located in the crankcase, the drive shaft is mounted on bearings ( 8 , 9 ) arranged in walls of the crankcase, and at least one of the bearings is positioned in a passage hole ( 11 ) in the crankcase wall, the pump has a suction inlet separate from the crankcase, at least one flow channel for equalizing pressure in the crankcase during oscillating motion of the pump part is provided in the crankcase walls and a flow damper is arranged in the at least one flow channel, wherein the at least one flow channel comprises the passage hole ( 11 ) with the at least one bearing, and in a region of the at least one bearing ( 8 , 9 ) positioned in the passage hole ( 11 ) that forms the flow channel, the flow damper is fixed in the housing and covers an open channel cross section of the flow channel to damp inward and outward air flow.
2. Pump according to claim 1 , wherein the flow damper is formed by one or more disks ( 13 ) made from open-pore material or a gas-permeable material with a high pneumatic resistance.

4. Pump according to claim 1 , wherein at least one relief opening ( 14 , 14 ′) is provided in the crankcase wall, which is covered with a second flow damper.
5. Pump according to claim 4 , wherein a pneumatic resistance in a region of the bearing openings is greater than that in a region of the at least one relief opening ( 14 , 14 ′).
6. Pump according to claim 4 , wherein the pump ( 1 ) comprises a diaphragm pump and the oscillating pump part comprises a diaphragm ( 5 ).
7. Pump according to claim 1 , wherein the pump ( 1 ) comprises a diaphragm pump and the oscillating pump part comprises a diaphragm ( 5 ).
8. Pump ( 1 ) with an oscillating pump part, comprising a pump housing ( 2 ) with a working chamber ( 3 ) and a crankcase ( 4 ) separated from the chamber by the pump part, a pump drive ( 6 ) with a drive shaft ( 7 ) is located in the crankcase, the drive shaft is mounted on bearings ( 8 , 9 ) arranged in walls of the crankcase, and at least one of the bearings is positioned in a passage hole ( 11 ) in the crankcase wall, the pump has a suction inlet separate from the crankcase, at least one flow channel for equalizing pressure in the crankcase during oscillating motion of the pump part is provided in the crankcase walls and a flow damper is arranged in the at least one flow channel, the at least one flow channel comprises the passage hole ( 11 ) with the at least one bearing, and in a region of the at least one bearing ( 8 , 9 ) positioned in the passage hole ( 11 ) that forms the flow channel, the flow damper covers an open channel cross section of the flow channel, wherein the flow damper is provided on both sides of the bearing positioned in the passage hole ( 11 ).
9. Pump according to claim 8 , wherein the pump ( 1 ) comprises a diaphragm pump and the oscillating pump part comprises a diaphragm ( 5 ).
