Abstract

A submersible positive displacement piston pump includes a cylinder for insertion within a body of liquid, the cylinder including a working end and an opposite end, an inlet port, an outlet port and a working chamber bounded by the outlet port and the working end; a piston rotatably and reciprocably movable in the cylinder between a retracted positon and an extended position for pumping liquid from the inlet port to the outlet port, the piston including a free end having a recessed section alternately in fluid communication with the inlet port and the outlet port; a pivoting assembly pivotally connected to a drive motor which rotatably and reciprocably drives the piston in the cylinder; and an extension assembly for connecting the pivoting assembly to the piston and for ensuring that the pivoting assembly and the drive motor are positioned out of the body of liquid when the piston and cylinder are positioned in the body of liquid, the extension assembly including a shaft extension for connecting the pivoting assembly to the piston, and a hollow extension pipe surrounding the shaft extension, the extension pipe being connected to the opposite end of the cylinder in a sealing relatio…
