Description

Technical Field

[0002] In modern production and life, the development of gas compression, conveying, and flow regulation technologies has received significant attention. Currently, various types of pump body devices for high-purity gas boosting and gas flow control have emerged on the market to perform gas conveying control actions. However, the following problems generally exist in their application processes: The existing gas control pumps perform gas control and conveying actions by setting a diaphragm device and fitting it with the air inlet hole. However, this method will have a certain impact on gas flow control. Moreover, after long-term use, the diaphragm device will experience elastic weakening, resulting in a decrease in the fitting efficiency with the air inlet hole, a decrease in sealing performance, and air leakage, failing to achieve the purpose of precisely controlling gas flow. Additionally, it also leads to insufficient gas boosting effect and low air pressure, affecting the conveying; The existing gas control pumps use seals or glue coating between the valve bodies for sealing. However, the seal and glue coating methods are easily affected by the environment or usage intensity, resulting in a decrease in their sealing performance, affecting the sealing effect, and thus affecting the control accuracy and effect of the subsequent gas conveying volume; When assembling the components of the existing gas control pumps, due to the lack of a positioning structure, the assembly efficiency is affected, and it is prone to deviation during use, resulting in a decrease in the working stability of the gas control pump and affecting the subsequent use efficiency and accuracy.
