Description
AN ELECTRIC AND HAND OPERATED PUMP SYSTEM
FIELD OF INVENTION:
This invention relates to the field of mechanical engineering.
Particularly, this invention relates to ground water supply systems.
Specifically, this invention relates to an electric and hand operated pump system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Bore wells, with submersible pumps, provide for a very important ground water supply system. Similarly, hand operated submersible reciprocating pumps also provide for a prominent ground water supply system at various places.
Hand pumps have been very useful and popular equipment for transporting water to surface since decades. These pumps are simple in design, durable, and low maintenance and are widely used in rural areas of developing countries. There are various types of pumps available for lifting water from a clean ground water source. Most common type of ground water pump is a suction pump. In case of suction pumps, an oscillating or a reciprocating tool is situated above ground. These pumps cannot lift groundwater deeper than 7 metres because of their limitations in applying enough suction called net positive suction head (NPSH). This takes into account atmospheric pressure at sea level (1 atmosphere = 33.9 ft. of water at 4 °C) friction losses, minor seal leakage, and normal temperature range of groundwater.
Intermediate depth pumps (direct action and bucket pumps) are appropriate for reaching groundwater to depths of 12 to 15 metres. Its handle is connected to a lifting mechanism that is submerged in the groundwater; so, NPSH is not an issue.
The direct action plunger pump operates by reciprocating motion of a PYC pipe (called the plunger pipe) inside a stationary PYC pipe (called the tail pipe). Both pipes reach the groundwater level and have check valves at their lower ends allowing water to enter but not exit.
Deep well pump types capable of reaching groundwater to depths of 45 metres include a rope pump (lift disk or chain and washer pump), a diaphragm pump, a progressive cavity pump (helical rotor pump), and a piston pump (lever- operated reciprocating action pump). A rope pump operates like a bucket pump, but instead of buckets on chain; it is made of a loop of rope with rubber washers along its length. As the windlass turns, the rope travels into the PVC pipe and the washers force water into the pipe and up to the point of discharge. This is an old pumping method that has been adapted and improved in recent years. It is now used not only in large diameter wells, but also in boreholes. The PVC riser pipe which carries the water up is one inch diameter, the washers fit closely inside without too much friction and a guide pipe of a larger diameter also fits in the borehole to guide the rope down into the water. Two-person rope pumps (with handles; so two people can turn the wheel) are used in Nicaragua to depths of 60 metres. A diaphragm pump uses an expandable diaphragm in the submerged pump cylinder to push water up and out of the rising main when pressure is increased by means of a mechanism such as a foot pedal. When the diaphragm air pressure is released, water enters the pump cylinder for the next cycle.
Since, there is no up and down rod movement, it may be possible to use a diaphragm pump in crooked wells where other pumps might not work. A progressive cavity pump has a special shaped synthetic rubber lined cylinder (stator) fitting closely around a steel rotor that twists as the operator turns a crank or handle. As the rotor turns, it squeezes the water up and out of the cylinder which then flows up through the rising main to the surface. This provides continuous flow of water with continuous rotation and can be fit with a motor to provide water under pressure for a distribution system if desired. The piston pump operates similar to the traditional suction pump with the foot valve and piston submerged in the groundwater. A long rod connects the piston to a handle for operation.
There are some deep well pumps capable of reaching groundwater deeper than 45 metres. It is not unusual to have a hand pumps at these depths, but it takes more energy to operate and there are greater demands for robustness of pump and well casing parts. Special equipment may be required for extraction of deep pump parts for repair. A study has shown that“all hand pumps have more breakdowns with increasing depth and number of different users.” (Rural Water Systems). Oxfam developed a pump for depths of 80 metres by creating a hybrid of the Afridev and India Mark II handpump. It uses a PYC rising main that is supported from the bottom of the borehole instead of hanging it from the top. This prevents pipe stretch and reduces stress on the pipe and joints (Briscoe & McMurdie, 2001).
Manufacturers from various countries advertise very deep well pumps. The Mololift progressive cavity pump may be used to a depth of 60 metres. The India Mark IV piston pump is a modified Mark II that is promoted as being capable of reaching 90 metres. The Mark IV pump has an extra-long handle for increasing torque, a T bar so that two people may operate it at the same time,
and counter weights placed on a long lever arm in order to assist in pushing the lever down to lift the heavy column of water from these depths. The Bush pump B type has been used in applications as deep as 100 metres (328 ft). The Yolanta piston pump is operated by a large diameter wheel instead of a lever arm. It has been installed to depths of 110 metres (361 ft).
Deep well reciprocating pumps require different power input during up and down movement of lever. This problem has been rectified up to some extent in Yolanta Pump by providing a flywheel and counter weight. Volanta pump operates in rotary motion. Size of the Flywheel in Volanta Pump is big and weight of the counter weight is less; therefore, torque equalization cannot be done properly.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
An object of the invention is to provide a pump which provides facility of operating submersible reciprocating pumps by both electric power and manually.
Another object of the invention is to use electric energy or solar energy to operate a deep well submersible reciprocating pump.
Another object of the invention is to provide a mechanism to hand operate a deep well submersible reciprocating pump by both rotary as well as oscillating mode.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a counter weight, for a deep well submersible reciprocating pump, in such a way that“Torque Equalization” during up and down stroke of pump rod can be achieved up to maximum extent
and hand operation of pump can be done without any excessive fatigue on human body.
Still another object of the invention is to lift water by a pump to an overhead tank so that water could further be delivered to various locations.

In accordance with an embodiment of this invention, there is provided a pump stand [14]. A water receiver tank [12] and a pump crank case [9] are situated on the pump stand [14]. In at least an embodiment, the water receiver tank [12] is coaxial with the pump stand [14].
Pump crank case [9] comprises one pair of crank [6 & 6a], a connecting rod [7], and a coupler [26]. The coupler [26] is connected with a pump rod [16] and the connecting rod [7] connects cranks [6 & 6a] to the pump rod [16]. These cranks are connected to fly wheels [1 & la] on either side by shafts [27] or [27a], respectively. Shafts [27] and [27a] are supported by bearing housings [8] and [8a] on either side of the crank case [9], respectively. Flywheel on Right Hand Side (R.H.S.) [la] is connected with counter weight [4a] and placed inside flywheel casing [33]. This flywheel housing [33] is firmly tightened with the crank case [9] with fasteners [32].
Left Hand Side (L.H.S.) shaft [27] carries one way bearing [28] which further carries a first sprocket [2]. This first sprocket [2] is connected with a drive such as an Alternating Current (AC) / Direct Current (DC) Motor [3] by a chain [57]. Instead of the sprocket, a gear on one way bearing [28] could be connected with another gear on motor [3].
Figure 3 illustrates arrangement of the motor [3] and first (chain) sprocket [2]. Shaft [27] is also connected with flywheel [1]. Flywheel [1] is provided with
counter weights [4] and retractable handle [5]. Once drive [3] (motor) starts, then a second sprocket [34] on motor [3] transfers rotary motion to the first sprocket [2] through chain [57]. The first sprocket [2] further transmits rotary motion to the shaft [27]. Shaft [27] is mechanically linked with both cranks [6 & 6a] and both flywheels [1 & la] by crank pin [35]. Therefore, as shaft [27] starts rotating, all mechanically linked members start rotating. Crank pin [35] also connects with one end of connecting rod [7]. Another end of the connecting rod [7] is connected with coupler [26] by coupler pin [30]. Coupler [26] connects connecting rod [7] to pump rod [16]. This typical crank and slider mechanism converts rotary motion of cranks [6 & 6a] into reciprocating motion of the pump rod [16]. This connecting rod [7] could be replaced by chain and its straightening mechanism to connect pump rod [16] by both cranks [6 & 6a] with the help of a crank pin [35]. Pump rod [16] is kept inside a main riser pipe [15]. One end of the riser pipe [15] is connected with a submersible reciprocating pump [18] and other end is connected with a bottom flange [52] of the water receiver tank [12] by a pipe socket [53]. Riser pipe [15] and submersible reciprocating pump [18] are also kept inside the casing pipe [17]. Pump rod [16] transfers reciprocating motion to the pump [18]. Submersible reciprocating pump [18] lifts water through the riser pipe [15] to the water receiver tank [12] Top flange [51] is equipped with seal [13] around the pump rod [16] inside the water receiver tank [12]. Hence, water gets pressurized inside receiver tank [12] and transfers to overhead tank [22] through a transfer pipe [21]. The transfer pipe [21] is provided with self-closing spring loaded valve [19] to obtain water at ground level. This transfer pipe [21] is also equipped with non-returning valve [20] to avoid excessive back pressure on water receiver tank [12].
Hand operation of this pump can be done by extending retractable handle [5] in rotary mode (Figure 7 position (b)) and oscillating mode (Figure 7 position
(c)). Handle [5] rotates in same direction of rotation of the motor. In such case, the first sprocket [2] remains stationary because of one way bearing [28]. Hence, motor [3] also remains stationary during hand operation of the pump. Figure 5 and Figure 7(a) illustrate the position of retractable handle [5] when pump operates by motor [3]. Handle [5] keeps on clamp [35] during motor operating mode. Handle [5] needs to be kept out from the clamp [35] and placed in position (b) for hand operating rotating mode. In this case, handle screw [41] fastens with counter weights [4]. When handle [5] is placed between the slots [40] on flywheel housing [10], then pump operates in hand operating oscillating mode.
As seen in Figure 5 and Figure 6 of the accompanying drawings, the flywheel consists of many ribs [39] which extend from the centre of hub of the flywheel to outer rim of the flywheel. Clamp [35] is situated on one of those ribs which further used to hold the handle [5] during motor operating mode. Further, counterweights [4] are located on ribs [39] of the flywheel [1] with help of fasteners [37] & [38].
Figure 7 represents different position of handle [5].
Figure 7(a) shows position of handle [5] during motor operating mode and handle is placed on clamp [35].
Figure 7(b) shows the position of handle [35] during hand operating rotary mode. In this mode, handle is kept out from the clamp [35].
Figure 7(c) shows position of handle during hand operating oscillating mode. In this mode handle [5] is out from the clamp [35] and placed between the slots [40] on flywheel housing [10].
Weight of the counter weight depends on the total weight of the pump rod [16] and the water weight inside the riser main [15]. Total weight of the pump rod
and water column weight acts on the coupler pin [30]. Counter weight, in this invention, is a circular segment (e.g. 75° < Q < 120°). Design of the counter weight is provided in such a way that centre of mass of counter weight is diametrically opposite to the weight (weight of pump rod plus weight of water inside rise pipe) acting on the coupler pin [30] so that torque can be balanced during up and down movement of the pump rod [16]. There could be“n” numbers of different size and thickness counter weights [4] & [4a] placed on both Left Hand and Right Hand Side flywheel [1] & [la] respectively. Figure 6 illustrates the way of placement of counter weights [4] on the flywheel [1] by fasteners [38] & [39]. Outer most counter weight [43] on Left Hand Side flywheel [1] is provided with a handle [5]. Hinge support [36] is provided to hold the handle [5] on outer most counter weight [43].
In at least one embodiment, the pump system of this invention can be operated in electric mode. Electricity could be provided by solar photovoltaic cells, electric grid lines, and / or by electric generators. Electric mode of operation reduces dependency of pump operation manually. Pump could be operated in electric mode without any involvement of human effort.
The TECHNICAL ADVANCEMENT of this invention lies in providing an electric and hand operated pump system which allows the system to convert from a regular oscillating hand pump mode to a rotary hand cranking and motor operated mode with relative ease. The positioning of flywheels and counterweights on either side of cranks equalizes torque during up and down stroke, thereby providing operational ease to a user. The placement of handle on counter weight and its retracting mechanism for hand operating mode and motor operated mode substantially reduces effort. The system is made modular in terms of depths from which water can be retrieved due to utilization / modularity in the number of counter weights on either side of crank case.
While this detailed description has disclosed certain specific embodiments for illustrative purposes, various modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art which do not constitute departures from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims, and it is to be distinctly understood that the foregoing descriptive matter is to be interpreted merely as illustrative of the invention and not as a limitation.
