- Referring to
FIG. 1-5 , there is illustrated a motorizedpump assembly 10, having amotor 12, and at least two pumps, afirst pump 14 and asecond pump 16. Themotor 12 drives arotatable shaft 18, which drives the pumps. Thefirst pump 14 has afirst impeller 20 and includes afirst cover 14 a. Thesecond pump 16 has asecond impeller 22 and includes asecond cover 16 a, the covers being used to enclose thetubing motor 12. The pumps may be any suitable kind, including peristaltic pumps, which move fluids through tubes in a pulse-like fashion and are typically useful in fluid pump systems. - As shown
FIGS. 2 and 3 , each pump includes an impeller, specifically, thefirst pump 14 includes afirst impeller 20, while thesecond pump 16 includes asecond impeller 22. In addition, thefirst impeller 20 includes a first one-way bearing 24, while thesecond impeller 22 includes a second one-way bearing 26. Each bearing 24, 26, and thus the impellers are operatively driven by therotatable shaft 18 when the rotatable shaft is rotated in a first direction or a second direction. The impellers create the pulse or massaging action, which moves the fluid through the tubing. - In one embodiment, the first one-way bearing 24 can be adapted to rotate in a first direction, for example, in clockwise direction when the first bearing 24 engages the
motor shaft 18 when the motor shaft is rotating clockwise. In this manner, thefirst pump 14 operates when the first one-way bearing 24 engages the clockwise rotatingmotor shaft 18. However, thefirst pump 14 and the first one-way bearing 24 are not operatively driven by therotatable shaft 18 when the rotatable shaft is rotated in the second direction. When themotor shaft 18 rotates in a second direction, counter-clockwise for example, the first one-way bearing 24 slips on the motor shaft and does not operate thefirst pump 14. - The
second pump 16 includes second one-way bearing 26, which operates in a second direction. Thus, the second one-way bearing 26 can be a counter-clockwise bearing that engages themotor shaft 18 only when the motor shaft is rotating in a counter-clockwise direction. Thesecond pump 16 operates only when the second one-way bearing 26 engages the counter-clockwise rotating motor shaft. Thesecond pump 16 and the second one-way bearing 26 are not operatively driven by the rotatable shaft when the rotatable shaft is rotated in the first direction. When themotor shaft 18 rotates in the first direction or clockwise, the second one-way bearing 26 slips on the motor shaft and does not operate thesecond pump 16. - Accordingly, only one pump is operated at a time by the
motor 12 depending on which direction the motor rotates itsoutput motor shaft 18. Depending on the direction of rotation of theshaft 18, either thefirst pump 14 operates to pump fluids, while thesecond pump 16 is held, or the second pump operates to pump fluids, while the first pump is held. In this manner, the present device may be used to convey more than one fluid into the desired system at independent intervals. - The direction of the motor rotation can be selected by reversing the polarity of the DC current applied to the
electric motor 12. In addition, it is understood that any type of suitable motor and pumps may be used, and any mix of pumps may be utilized, such as two peristaltic pumps of different capacities or two different sized gear pumps. Also, the speed of each pump may be controlled by an external electrical frequency control unit (not shown). - As shown in
FIG. 5 , when thepump assembly 10 is in operation, themotor 12 rotates in both a clockwise and a counterclockwise direction, wherein the motor operates the twoimpellers way bearings motor 12 is rotating clockwise, thefirst pump 14 is activated, thereby pumping fluid, such as a detergent into the machine system (not shown), while thesecond pump 16 is slipping and not functioning due to its one-way bearing 26. When themotor 12 is rotating in a counterclockwise direction, thefirst pump 14 slips and ceases to function, while thesecond pump 16 is now activated thereby pumping a second fluid, such as a fabric softener, into the machine system. There is no added torque on themotor 12 as it drives each pump separately, one at a time. In this manner, a single motor can operate numerous pumps in one operation. - The
motorized pump assembly 10 would be useful in a method for dispensing multiple fluids, for example, in a dishwashing machine where detergent and then a rinse aid are used. In one embodiment, the method would include coupling areversible motor 12 having arotatable drive shaft 18 to afirst fluid pump 14 via a first one-way bearing 24, and to asecond fluid pump 16 via a second one-way bearing 26. Thereversible motor 12 would then turn thedrive shaft 18 in a first direction to thereby operate thefirst fluid pump 14 to dispense a first fluid. Likewise, operating thereversible motor 12 to turn thedrive shaft 18 in a second direction would thereby operate thesecond fluid pump 16 to dispense a second fluid. As previously described, the second one-way bearing 26 prevents thesecond fluid pump 16 from operating to dispense the second fluid when the drive shaft turns in the first direction, while the first one-way bearing 24 prevents thefirst pump 14 from operating to dispense the first fluid when thedrive shaft 18 turns in the second direction. Accordingly, the method provides operation of at least two pumps, for two separate fluids through the use of a single motor. - In addition, although the embodiment described has only two pumps driven by a single motor, embodiments of the present invention could have more than two pumps. For example, an embodiment could have more than one clockwise operated pump and/or more than one counter-clockwise operated pump. In addition, multiple pumps could be coupled or to one another or stacked together in a known manner for use in multiple machines requiring the pumping of different fluids.
- The matter set forth in the foregoing description and accompanying drawings is offered by way of illustration only and not as a limitation. While particular embodiments have been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the broader aspects of applicants'contribution. The actual scope of the protection sought is intended to be defined in the following claims when viewed in their proper perspective based on the prior art.
