Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of packaging of liquid or semi-liquid products, and in particular to a press pump for dispensing products from a container, and in particular to the design of an elastic reset mechanism in the press pump. Background Art

[0002] Pressing pumps are widely used in various fields such as daily chemical products, medicines, and foods, and are used to dispense products from containers containing liquid or semi-liquid products for consumers to use. Pressing pumps include an elastic reset mechanism, which can reset the movable parts such as the pressing head that are pressed downward upward to their standby position. Generally speaking, metal springs are used as the elastic reset mechanism in existing pressing pumps.

[0003] With the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements, in order to achieve resource recycling, some manufacturers have begun to use plastic springs instead of metal springs. In this way, after use, the old pump can be easily recycled without disassembling the metal spring to separate it from other plastic material parts of the pump.

[0004] During use, it is found that plastic springs usually have two problems. First, the elasticity of plastic springs is smaller than that of metal springs, and the pressing force required to press down on the plastic spring is larger, so the user feels heavy when pressing down during use. Second, although the pressing force required to press down is large, the elastic force generated by the plastic spring after being compressed and deformed is relatively small, resulting in the plastic spring being unable to rebound into place after being pressed. This will cause the amount of product dispensed each time to fail to meet the requirements, and may even cause the liquid output of the press pump to gradually decrease.

[0005] Therefore, in the art, there is a need to improve the structure of a pressing pump, specifically, the elastic reset mechanism in the pressing pump, so as to overcome the technical problems existing in the elastic reset mechanism in the form of a plastic spring in the prior art as described above.

[0118] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the drawings only show preferred embodiments of the present invention, which do not constitute a limitation on the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious modifications, variations, and equivalent substitutions to the present invention based on the embodiments shown in the drawings, and the technical features of the different embodiments described below can be arbitrarily combined with each other without contradiction, which all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0119] <First Embodiment>

[0120] Figures 1 to 9 The exemplary structure of the pressing pump 100 and its components according to the first embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0121] like Figure 1 As shown, the pressing pump 100 includes a pressure head 110, a toothed sleeve 120 and a cylinder 130, the toothed sleeve 120 and the cylinder 130 are fixedly connected together, and a piston rod 140 is connected below the pressure head 110, and the piston rod 140 extends into the cylinder 130. The pressure head 110 can move back and forth along the up and down direction relative to the toothed sleeve 120 and the cylinder 130 with the piston rod 140. Therefore, the pressure head 110 and the piston rod 140 are movable parts, and the toothed sleeve 120 and the cylinder 130 are fixed parts.

[0122] The pressing pump 100 also includes an elastic reset mechanism 150, which is made of plastic and is arranged between the movable part and the fixed part of the pressing pump 100. For example, as shown in the figure, the elastic reset mechanism 150 is supported between the lower side of the pressure head 110 and the top surface of the brace 120.

[0123] When the pressure head 110 is pressed downward, the elastic restoring mechanism 150 is deformed by pressure, so that a rebound force is accumulated in the elastic restoring mechanism 150. Figure 2 When the pressing force applied to the pressing head 110 is removed, the rebound force accumulated in the elastic reset mechanism 150 causes the pressing head 110 to return to the position of the upper dead point of its stroke, so as to be used next time.

[0124] Figure 3a to 3c Shows Figure 1 1 and 1. Different views of the elastic reset mechanism 150 of the pressing pump 100 in FIG. The elastic reset mechanism 150 includes an upper spring coil 151, a lower spring coil 152 and an elastic unit 153. Preferably, an upper lever portion 154 is provided between the elastic unit 153 and the upper spring coil 151, or the upper lever portion 154 is connected between one end of the elastic unit 153 and the upper spring coil 151. Similarly, a lower lever portion 155 is provided between the lower spring coil 152 and the other end of the elastic unit 153.

[0125] In the structure shown in the figure, the elastic unit 153 is annular, and its first end 153-1 located in the upper half points downward and is connected to the lower lever portion 155, and the second end 153-2 located in the lower half points upward and is connected to the upper lever portion 154. Figure 1 and 2 As can be seen in FIG. 1 , the upper spring coil 151 is supported below the pressure head 110, and the lower spring coil 152 is supported on the top of the dental brace 120, so that when the pressure head 110 is pressed downward, the upper spring coil 151 and the lower spring coil 152 are close to each other, and the distance between the first end 153-1 and the second end 153-2 is increased through the lever action of the upper lever portion 154 and the lower lever portion 155. In this process, the elastic unit 153 is elastically opened, and elastic force is accumulated in the elastic unit 153.

[0126] After the pressure applied to the pressure head 110 is removed, under the action of the elastic force of the elastic unit 153, the distance between the first end 153-1 and the second end 153-2 is reduced, so that the elastic reset mechanism 150 as a whole is restored to the state before being pressed, and then the pressure head 110 is pushed to its upper standby position.

[0127] Preferably, in order to increase the elastic force generated by the deformation of the elastic unit 153 , the width of the elastic unit 153 is set to be wider, for example, wider than the upper lever portion 154 and the lower lever portion 155 .

[0128] Further preferably, the upper lever portion 154 and the lower lever portion 155 may also be made of elastic material, and may also participate in generating elastic deformation when subjected to pressure.

[0129] In addition to the structure of the elastic restoring mechanism 150 described above, the elastic restoring mechanism 150 may also be configured as other structures. Figures 4 to 9 Various alternative embodiments of the structure of the elastic return mechanism 150 are shown.

[0130] For example, Figure 4 The elastic unit 153 shown in the figure is substantially C-shaped, and two sides of the notch of the C-shape are respectively the first end 153 - 1 and the second end 153 - 2 of the elastic unit 153 . Figure 5 A portion of the elastic unit 153 of the elastic reset mechanism 150 shown in FIG. 1 is substantially V-shaped. In other words, the elastic unit 153 includes a straight portion, while the portion thereof connected to the upper lever portion 154 and the lower lever portion 155 is preferably arc-shaped.

[0131] exist Figure 6 In the embodiment, a notch 156 is formed on the spring upper coil 151 and the spring lower coil 152 of the elastic reset mechanism 150. By forming the notch 156, the spring upper coil 151 can be easily matched to the press head 110, and the spring lower coil 152 can be matched to the dental brace 120.

[0132] exist Figure 7 In the embodiment, the elastic unit 153 of the elastic reset mechanism 150 has the same width as the upper lever portion 154 and the lower lever portion 155. Figure 7 The elastic reset mechanism 150 shown does not include the upper spring coil 151 and the lower spring coil 152, that is, the upper spring coil 151 and the lower spring coil 152 in the present application are optional, and the free ends of the upper lever portion 154 and the lower lever portion 155 can be directly supported or connected to the movable parts and fixed parts of the pressing pump 100.

[0133] exist Figure 8 In the structure shown in , the upper lever portion 154 and the lower lever portion 155 are formed with a bent portion respectively. The upper lever portion 154 and the lower lever portion 155 with the bent portion can make the force acting on the upper lever portion 154 and the lower lever portion 155 roughly along the longitudinal direction, reduce the lateral component force, thereby improving the efficiency of converting the pressing force into the spring elastic force.

[0134] exist Fig. 9In the structure shown in FIG. 1 , an opening portion 157 is formed on the lower lever portion 155 , and the upper lever portion 154 extends upward through the opening portion 157 .

[0135] <Second Embodiment>

[0136] Figures 10-11c The pressing pump 200 of the second embodiment of the present application is shown. Unless otherwise described or conflicting, the specific structure described above with respect to the first embodiment is also applicable to the second embodiment. In the following description, the same structure will not be described in detail, and the structure of the second embodiment different from the first embodiment will be specifically described.

[0137] like Fig.10 As shown, the compression pump 200 includes an elastic reset mechanism 250. Figures 11a to 11c As shown in the figure, the elastic reset mechanism 250 includes a spring upper coil 251, a spring lower coil 252 and two elastic units 253 connected between the spring upper coil 251 and the spring lower coil 252. The two elastic units 253 can be connected to the spring upper coil 251 and the spring lower coil 252, for example, through an upper lever portion and a lower lever portion, respectively. Alternatively, as described in the first embodiment, the structure of the upper lever portion and the lower lever portion can also be omitted. The two elastic units 153 can be arranged mirror-symmetrically relative to each other, as shown in the figure.

[0138] In addition, if Fig.11a As schematically shown in FIG. 1 , the two elastic units 153 are in different planes. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the two elastic units 153 may also be in the same plane. All of these are within the scope of the present application.

[0139] Furthermore, according to actual application scenarios and usage requirements, such as requirements for elastic force, the elastic reset mechanism 150 may include a greater number of elastic units 253, such as three, four, etc.

[0140] In addition, preferably, a hinge portion 254 is formed at the connection between the elastic unit 253 and the spring upper coil 251. When subjected to a pressing force, the hinge portion 254 deforms first, and then the elastic unit 253 deforms. In this way, the applied pressing force can be reduced, so that the pressing pump 200 is easier to be pressed downward.

[0141] Likewise, a hinge portion 254 may also be formed at the connection portion between the elastic unit 253 and the spring lower coil 252 .

[0142] <Third Embodiment>

[0143] Fig.12The pressing pump 300 of the third embodiment of the present application is shown. Unless otherwise described or conflicting, the specific structures described above with respect to the first and second embodiments also apply to the third embodiment. In the following description, the same structures will not be described in detail, and the structures different from the first and second embodiments of the third embodiment will be described in detail.

[0144] like Fig.12 As shown, the pressing pump 300 is provided with two elastic reset mechanisms 350 arranged in an overlapping manner, wherein the upper spring coil of the upper elastic reset mechanism 350 is supported on the pressure head, and the lower spring coil of the lower elastic reset mechanism 350 is supported on the toothed cap. The lower spring coil of the upper elastic reset mechanism 350 and the upper spring coil of the lower elastic reset mechanism 350 are in contact with each other.

[0145] Exemplarily, the lower coil of the spring of the elastic reset mechanism 350 located at the top and the upper coil of the spring of the elastic reset mechanism 350 located at the bottom can be formed as one piece, or can be fixed together by melting or the like, or can simply be abutted against each other, all of which are within the scope of the present application.

[0146] <Fourth Embodiment>

[0147] Figures 13 to 20 The pressing pump 400 of the fourth embodiment of the present application is shown. Unless otherwise described or conflicting, the specific structures described above with respect to the first to third embodiments are also applicable to the fourth embodiment. In the following description, the same structures will not be described in detail, and the structures of the fourth embodiment that are different from the first to third embodiments will be described in detail.

[0148] The pressing pump 400 of the fourth embodiment includes a pressing head 410, a toothed sleeve 420 and a cylinder 430. The toothed sleeve 420 is connected to the cylinder 430. A piston rod 440 is connected below the pressing head 410, and the piston rod 440 extends into the cylinder 430. The pressing pump 400 also includes an elastic reset mechanism 450. Fig.13 In the structure of the pressing pump 400 of the fourth embodiment shown in , the elastic return mechanism 450 is disposed in the cylinder 430 .

[0149] Fig.15a and 15bThe front view and the stereogram of the elastic reset mechanism 450 are shown. The elastic reset mechanism 450 includes an upper spring coil 451 and a lower spring coil 452, and an elastic member 453 is connected between the upper spring coil 451 and the lower spring coil 452. The elastic member 453 includes a plurality of elastic units 454, and these elastic units 454 can be, for example, roughly elliptical. These elastic members 453 are connected together by a connecting portion 455, and the elastic unit 454 located at the top and the elastic unit 454 located at the bottom are respectively connected to the upper spring coil 451 and the lower spring coil 452 through the connecting portion 455.

[0150] Back to Fig.13 , wherein the cylinder 430 is partially cut away to expose the internal structure of the cylinder 430. It can be seen that a snap-fitting portion 431 is formed at the upper end of the cylinder 430, and the upper end of the elastic reset mechanism 450, specifically its spring upper coil 451, is snap-fitted on the snap-fitting portion 431. A spring fixing member 460 is fixedly connected to the piston rod 440, and the lower end of the elastic reset mechanism 450, specifically its spring lower coil 452, is fixedly connected to the spring fixing member 460.

[0151] exist Fig.14 As can be seen from the exploded three-dimensional diagram shown, a protrusion 461 is formed on the spring fixing member 460, and the lower end of the elastic reset mechanism 450, specifically its spring lower coil 452, is sleeved under the protrusion 461. In this way, when the pressure head 110 is pressed, the spring fixing member 460 moves downward together with the piston rod 440, and the protrusion 461 pushes the spring lower coil 452 of the elastic reset mechanism 450 downward.

[0152] Preferably, a limit portion 462 is formed at the lower end of the spring fixing member 460, and an exemplary structure thereof is in the form of a tab extending gradually from top to bottom. The limit portion 462 helps prevent the lower end of the elastic reset mechanism 450 from coming off the spring fixing member 460.

[0153] The following will be combined Fig.13 The action of the pressing pump 400 of the fourth embodiment is explained below. When the pressing head 410 is pressed downward, the upper end of the elastic reset mechanism 450 supported on the clamping portion 431 of the cylinder 430 is fixed, while the lower end of the elastic reset mechanism 450 moves downward together with the pressing head 410 and the piston rod 440, so that the elastic reset mechanism 450 is stretched and the elastic force is accumulated in the elastic reset mechanism 450. After the pressing force applied to the pressing head 410 is removed, the spring fixing member 460 is pushed upward under the action of the elastic force of the elastic reset mechanism 450, and then the piston rod 440 and the pressing head 410 are also pushed upward, so that the pressing head 410 returns to its upper standby position.

[0154] like Fig.16aAs shown, when the pressure head 410 is in the upper standby position, the elastic reset mechanism 450 is in a relaxed state with a shorter length. When the pressure head 410 is pressed downward to form a lower dead point, the elastic reset mechanism 450 is stretched, wherein the distance between the upper and lower sides of the elastic unit 454 is enlarged, and an elastic contraction force is accumulated therein. After the pressing force is removed, the elastic contraction force can return the pressure head 410 and the piston rod 440 to their upper standby positions.

[0155] Apart from Figures 15a to 16b In addition to the structure shown in FIG. 4 , the elastic unit 454 in the elastic reset mechanism 450 may also adopt other structures and shapes.
