The immersion sensor will transmit the leakage information to the external PLC, and then the cylinder, the first solenoid valve, and the second solenoid valve will be started at the same time. The cylinder uses a pressure plate to press the water out of the sponge, and then the liquid water flows from the leak to the drain pipe, and then is discharged from the drain pipe. During this process, the first solenoid valve has closed the exhaust pipe, effectively preventing water from entering the pump body. This product has an automatic drainage function, which is convenient for the subsequent normal operation of the pump body.

[0011] In a preferred example, the utility model can be further configured as follows: the bottom of the inner cavity of the water receiving box is set as a "∧" surface, and the two leaks are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the "∧".

[0012] In a preferred example, the utility model can be further configured as follows: the pressing plate is set to be U-shaped, and the bottom of the pressing plate fits with the top of the sponge.

[0013] In a preferred example, the utility model can be further configured as follows: the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve are connected in series, and the cylinder, the liquid immersion sensor, and the first solenoid valve are all electrically connected to an external PLC.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In the utility model, when a large amount of water enters the second exhaust pipe, the sponge will be saturated, and then the excess water will drip from the sponge. The immersion sensor will transmit the leakage information to the external PLC, and then the cylinder, the first solenoid valve, and the second solenoid valve will be started at the same time. The cylinder uses a pressure plate to press the water out of the sponge, and then the liquid water flows from the leak to the drain pipe, and then is discharged from the drain pipe. During this process, the first solenoid valve has closed the exhaust pipe, effectively preventing water from entering the pump body. This product has an automatic drainage function, which is convenient for the subsequent normal operation of the pump body.

[0016] 2. In the utility model, a small amount of water entering the second exhaust pipe will be absorbed by the sponge, which will not affect the use of the pump body and will not cause water backflow. Then, a small amount of water in the sponge will evaporate due to the high temperature of the automobile engine when it is working, thereby improving the safety of the pump body.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0025] It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0026] A waterproof vacuum pump provided by some embodiments of the utility model is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Embodiment 1

[0027] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a waterproof vacuum pump, including an emptying module 100 and a waterproof module 200, wherein the emptying module 100 includes a pump body 110, an exhaust pipe 120 connected to the pump body 110, a transition box 130 connected to the exhaust pipe 120, and an exhaust pipe 2 140 connected to the transition box 130;

[0028] The waterproof module 200 includes a water receiving box 210 installed inside the transition box 130, a sponge 220 filled in the water receiving box 210, a cylinder 230 passing through the top of the transition box 130, a pressure plate 240 connected to the movable end of the cylinder 230, two leaks 250 opened at the bottom of the inner cavity of the water receiving box 210, a liquid immersion sensor 260 installed at the top of the inner cavity of the exhaust pipe 120, a first solenoid valve 270 installed on the exhaust pipe 120, a drain pipe 280 connected to and communicated with the transition box 130, and a second solenoid valve 290 installed on the drain pipe 280.

[0029] Furthermore, the first exhaust pipe 120, the transition box 130, and the second exhaust pipe 140 are interconnected, and the first exhaust pipe 120 is connected to the inside of the pump body 110. With this structural design, the pump body 110 can work normally.

[0030] Furthermore, the exhaust pipe 120 and the exhaust pipe 2 140 are made of the same material, and both are configured to be curved and use the same material, which reduces the material selection energy when manufacturing the exhaust pipe 120 and the exhaust pipe 2 140 .

[0031] Furthermore, the width of the water receiving box 210 is smaller than the width of the transition box 130 . With this size design, the air discharged from the pump body 110 can smoothly pass between the water receiving box 210 and the transition box 130 , allowing the gas to be smoothly discharged from the second exhaust pipe 140 .

[0032] Furthermore, the pressing plate 240 is configured to be U-shaped, and the bottom of the pressing plate 240 fits with the top of the sponge 220 . With this shape design, the pressing plate 240 will not prevent liquid water from soaking the sponge 220 . Embodiment 2

[0033] Combination Figure 4 As shown, based on the first embodiment, the bottom of the inner cavity of the water collecting box 210 is set as a "∧" surface, and the two leakage ports 250 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the "∧". With this shape design, the water squeezed out of the sponge 220 can flow smoothly to the two leakage ports 250, preventing liquid water from entering the top of the exhaust pipe 120. Embodiment 3

[0034] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, in the above embodiment, the first solenoid valve 270 and the second solenoid valve 290 are connected in series, and the cylinder 230, the liquid immersion sensor 260, and the first solenoid valve 270 are all electrically connected to the external PLC, and the external PLC refers to: the vehicle-mounted system. Then, this structural design is adopted to make the application more intelligent and convenient to use.

[0035] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: in the initial state, the first electromagnetic valve 270 is in the open state, and the exhaust pipe 120 can flow normally. Then the second electromagnetic valve 290 is in the closed state, and the drain pipe 280 is blocked. Then when the device is put into actual use, a small amount of water enters the exhaust pipe 140 and is absorbed by the sponge 220. This will not affect the use of the pump body 110, and there will be no water backflow. Then a small amount of water in the sponge 220 will evaporate due to the high temperature of the automobile engine when it is working. Then when a large amount of water enters the exhaust pipe 140, the sponge 220 will Saturation, then excess water drips from the sponge 220 and contacts the immersion sensor 260, then the detection information is transmitted to the external PLC, then the cylinder 230, the first solenoid valve 270, and the second solenoid valve 290 are started at the same time, the cylinder 230 uses the pressure plate 240 to press the water in the sponge 220, and then the liquid water flows from the leak 250 to the drain pipe 280, and then is discharged from the drain pipe 280. During this process, the first solenoid valve 270 has closed the exhaust pipe 120, effectively preventing water from entering the pump body 110, and has an automatic drainage function, which facilitates the subsequent normal operation of the pump body 110.

[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
