Patent attributes
A thrust piston pump apparatus PM1 can be driven by an electric motor 110 and is provided with a pump housing 120, a reciprocating piston 130 assembled into the pump housing 120, and a motion conversion mechanism 40 provided between the reciprocating piston 130 and a rotor 113 of the electric motor 110. In the electric motor 110, a tubular rotor 113 is disposed in a stator (magnet 112), and a cylinder portion 121A of the pump housing 120 is coaxially housed in the rotor 113. The reciprocating piston 130 is assembled into the cylinder portion 121A of the pump housing 120 in such a manner as to be able to reciprocate along a cylinder axis. The motion conversion mechanism 140 converts a rotary motion of the rotor 113 of the electric motor 110 in relation to the pump housing 120 and the reciprocating piston 130 to a reciprocating motion of the reciprocating piston 130.
