Abstract
The invention is based on a radial piston pump (1) with a pump body (2), in which pump body (2) are placed pistons (4), and cylinders (5) arrayed radial to a cam (14) and the pistons (4) upon an inward thrust suck in fluid by means of suction side intakes (17) and upon an outward thrust, the pistons (4) impel fluid through pressure openings (7) in the outer end walls (6) of the cylinder (5) into a plenum (10) whereby the check valves (22) are formed from an annular coil spring valve (9) which cover the pressure ports (7) and the thereto connected stress relieving corrugations (8), and upon the exceeding of a specified threshold transport pressure, the respective pressure opening (7) opens to the plenum (10). The proposal is made, that a stress relieving zone (27) of a piston-cylinder unit (4, 5) be connected to the pressure zone (5, 7, 26) of a neighboring piston-cylinder unit (4, 5). Thereby pressure peaks in neighboring piston-cylinder units (4, 5) would be ameliorated and by a thrust of reduced magnitude of the coil spring valve (9) of a relatively great circumferential area, the intensity of noise would be diminished.
