Device for interconnecting a first element and a second element as well as a pump comprising such a device

摘要

In a first aspect the invention relates to a device for interconnecting a first element (2) and a second element (1) to each other in order to transmit a rotational motion. The device (3) comprises a tubular wall (4) having a circular inner surface, a part of which that is adjacent to said first end being arranged to abut said first element (2), and having a circular outer surface, a part of which that is adjacent to said first end being arranged to abut said second element (1). Furthermore, said tubular wall (4) comprises at least one pair of slits (18), which slits (18) are adjacent to each other and extends from said first end towards said second end, obtaining a finger shaped segment (19), which is deflectable in relation to neighboring parts of said tubular wall (4). The invention also relates to a pump comprising such a device (3).

1. A device for interconnecting a first element (2) and a second element (1) to each other for transmitting rotational motion, said device (3) comprising:
an axial through hole that extends from a first end to a second end along a longitudinal axis of the device, and a tubular wall (4) defined by the axial through hole having a circular inner surface, the circular inner surface having a part that is adjacent to said first end and arranged for abutting said first element (2), and a circular outer surface, the circular outer surface having a part that is adjacent to said first end and arranged for abutting said second element (1), wherein said tubular wall (4) comprises at least one pair of slits (18), the slits in the at least one pair of slits (18) being adjacent to each other and extending from said first end towards said second end, at least one elongated segment (19), defined by each of said at least one pair of slits, and at least two neighboring parts, the at least one elongated segment being interspersed among the at least two neighboring parts, wherein the at least one elongated segment (19) and the at least two neighboring parts extend from a base (21) of the tubular wall, said base (21) of the tubular wall (4) being located at said second end of the device, the each at least one elongated segment having a smaller dimension in a circumferential direction than in the radial direction at the interface between the elongated segment and the base of the tubular wall, and the at least two neighboring parts having a larger dimension in the circumferential direction than in the radial direction at the interface between the neighboring parts and the base of the tubular wall, whereby the at least one elongated segment is deflectable in such a way as to be bendable in a circumferential direction in relation to neighboring parts and turnable with respect to the neighboring parts of said tubular wall (4), wherein at least one of said part of the circular inner surface and said part of the circular outer surface, is in the shape of a truncated cone.
