[0034] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.
[0035] First of all, it should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the said features.
[0036] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the first aspect of the utility model provides a connecting rod shaft assembly, including a connecting rod shaft 1, one end of the connecting rod shaft 1 is connected to an eccentric wheel 2, the middle part of the connecting rod shaft 1 is connected to a bearing 4, the upper end surface of the eccentric wheel 2 is in contact with the lower end surface of the bearing 4, and the outer ring of the bearing 4 is connected to a piston rod 3, the eccentric wheel 2 drives the connecting rod shaft 1 to rotate so that the piston rod 3 can form a linear motion, and the motion trajectory of the piston rod 3 is perpendicular to the central axis of the connecting rod shaft 1.
[0038] The connecting rod shaft assembly of the utility model is located in the middle of the transmission mechanism inside the pump body, and is the transmission mechanism inside the pump body. The eccentric wheel 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod shaft 1, and the middle of the connecting rod shaft 1 is fixedly connected to a bearing 4, which includes a bearing outer ring and a bearing inner ring. The bearing outer ring is fixedly connected to the connecting rod shaft 1, and the bearing outer ring is connected to the piston rod 3.
[0039] like Figure 1As shown, the piston rod 3 includes a piston rod center sleeve 301 arranged in the central area, and a piston rod body 302 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the piston rod center sleeve 301. A bearing mounting groove concave outward is formed in the central area of the piston rod center sleeve 301, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected in the bearing mounting groove. The diameter of the bearing mounting groove is larger than the central through hole of the piston rod center sleeve 301, and the eccentric wheel 2 can be inserted into the central through hole of the piston rod center sleeve 301.
[0040] In the utility model, the eccentric wheel 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod shaft 1. The eccentric wheel 2 has two central axes, which are respectively set as the first central axis and the second central axis. The central axis of the connecting rod shaft 1 is formed as the third central axis. The first central axis of the eccentric wheel 2 is formed as the rotating central axis, and the second central axis can present annular motion around the first central axis. The third central axis of the connecting rod shaft 1 is not located on the same axis as the first central axis of the eccentric wheel 2. The third central axis of the connecting rod shaft 1 may be located on the same axis as the second central axis of the eccentric wheel 2, or may not be located on the same axis as the second central axis of the eccentric wheel 2. Therefore, when the eccentric wheel 2 rotates around the first central axis, the connecting rod shaft 1 presents annular motion around the first central axis of the eccentric wheel 2. The connecting rod shaft 1 needs to withstand the force caused by the deflection movement, and thus, the connecting rod shaft 1 needs to be formed of high-strength materials. Specifically, the connecting rod shaft 1 is formed of high-speed bearing steel.
[0041] Specifically, the height of the bearing 4 is 4-8 mm. Since all the forces on the connecting rod shaft 1 come from the bearing 4, it can be seen that the force center point is the center point of the bearing and the connecting rod shaft 1, that is, the force center point is located at the center of half the height of the bearing 4. At this time, if the height of the bearing 4 is 4-8 mm, the upper end face of the eccentric wheel 2 is close to the lower end face of the bearing 4, so that the force arm reaches the minimum value of 2-4 mm, thereby minimizing the force arm and increasing the service life of the connecting rod shaft 1.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting rod shaft 1 is sequentially provided with a connecting rod shaft lower force arm 101, a connecting rod shaft upper force arm 102, a connecting rod shaft connecting optical axis 103 and a connecting rod shaft connecting threaded axis 104, and steps are formed between the connecting rod shaft lower force arm 101 and the connecting rod shaft upper force arm 102, between the connecting rod shaft upper force arm 102 and the connecting rod shaft connecting optical axis 103, and between the connecting rod shaft connecting optical axis 103 and the connecting rod shaft connecting threaded axis 104.
[0043] from Figure 2 and Figure 3It can be seen that the connecting rod shaft lower force arm 101, the connecting rod shaft upper force arm 102, the connecting rod shaft connecting optical axis 103 and the connecting rod shaft connecting threaded axis 104 are all formed into a cylindrical structure. From the diameter size of each component, the connecting rod shaft upper force arm 102 has the largest diameter. The connecting rod shaft lower force arm 101 and the connecting rod shaft connecting optical axis 103 are arranged at both ends of the connecting rod shaft upper force arm 102, and their diameters are smaller than that of the connecting rod shaft upper force arm 102.
[0044] Furthermore, transition fillets are formed at the connection parts between the lower force arm 101 of the connecting rod shaft and the upper force arm 102 of the connecting rod shaft, between the upper force arm 102 of the connecting rod shaft and the connecting rod shaft connecting optical axis 103, and between the connecting rod shaft connecting optical axis 103 and the connecting rod shaft connecting threaded axis 104 to avoid stress concentration, thereby further improving the structural strength of the connecting rod shaft 1.
[0045] More preferably, a limiting structure 5 is formed on the connecting rod shaft upper force arm 102 , and the limiting structure 5 is suitable for abutting against the end surface of the bearing 4 to limit the movement of the bearing 4 in the direction of the central axis of the connecting rod shaft 1 .
[0046] As another preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the limiting structure 5 includes a slot provided on the lever arm 102 of the connecting rod shaft, and a shaft elastic retaining ring is clamped in the slot; or
[0047] The limiting structure 5 is formed as an annular gasket, which is suitable for being sandwiched between the outer ring end face of the bearing 4 and the end face of the bearing mounting groove of the piston rod center sleeve 301 of the piston rod 3 .
[0048] Preferably, the limiting structure 5 is formed as an annular gasket, and a gap is formed between the inner circumference of the annular gasket and the outer circumference of the force arm 102 on the connecting rod shaft, and the annular gasket does not abut against the inner ring of the bearing 4, but only abuts against the outer ring of the bearing 4, thereby limiting the gap between the bearing 4 and the end face of the bearing mounting groove of the piston rod center sleeve 301, and controlling the movement of the bearing 4 in the direction of the center axis of the connecting rod shaft 1.
[0049] Preferably, the limiting structure 5 can also be set as an elastic retaining ring for the shaft, which is clamped on the force arm 102 on the connecting rod shaft, and can also control the gap between the end face of the bearing 4 and the bearing mounting groove of the piston rod center sleeve 301, and can also control the movement of the bearing 4 in the direction of the central axis of the connecting rod shaft 1.
[0050] Of course, it is conceivable that the limiting structure 5 can also be set to other structural forms, as long as it can limit the gap between the bearing 4 and the end face of the bearing mounting groove of the piston rod center sleeve 301 and can control the movement of the bearing 4 in the direction of the central axis of the connecting rod shaft 1, it also belongs to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0053] As a specific structural form of the utility model, the sleeve 7 includes an inner sleeve 701, an outer sleeve 702 and a buffer sleeve 703 arranged between the inner sleeve 701 and the outer sleeve 702. The inner sleeve 701, the outer sleeve 702 and the buffer sleeve 703 are all sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod shaft upper force arm 102 of the connecting rod shaft 1.
[0054] As a specific structural form of the utility model, the central area of the shaft end threaded fixing sleeve 8 is formed as a threaded through hole, and an external thread is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod shaft connecting threaded shaft 104 of the connecting rod shaft 1, and the connecting rod shaft connecting threaded shaft 104 is adapted to the shaft end threaded fixing sleeve 8.
[0055] Specifically, after the shaft end threaded fixing sleeve 8 is connected to the connecting rod shaft connecting threaded shaft 104, the lower end surface of the shaft end threaded fixing sleeve 8 can abut against the upper end surface of the sleeve 7, and the lower end surface of the sleeve 7 abuts against the upper end surface of the lever arm 102 on the connecting rod shaft, thereby limiting the shaft end stopper 6. The buffer sleeve 703 provided on the inner sleeve 701 and the outer sleeve 702 can compress the buffer sleeve 703 to form a pre-tightening force when the shaft end threaded fixing sleeve 8 abuts against the outer sleeve 702, thereby further increasing the tightening force of the shaft end threaded fixing sleeve 8.
[0056] As another specific structural form of the utility model, the shaft end baffle 6 includes a center boss 601, a pressure platform 602 connected to the center boss 601, and a baffle flange 603 connected to the pressure platform 602, and the pressure platform 602 is suitable for abutting against the end face of the sleeve installed in the center of the piston rod 3.
