[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figure 1-8As shown, this embodiment provides an external spring all-plastic foam pump, including an outer shell 1, a pressing piece 2 arranged on the top of the outer shell 1 and a pump body 3, the pump body 3 includes a cylinder 31, a liquid inlet tube 32, a plastic spring 33, an air pump piston assembly 34 and a liquid pump piston assembly 35, the cylinder 31 and the outer shell 1 are fixedly connected, the liquid inlet tube 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 31, the air pump piston assembly 34 is in the cylinder 31 and moves with the pressing piece 2, and the liquid pump piston assembly 35 moves with the air pump piston assembly 34.
[0031] A through hole 331 is provided in the middle of the plastic spring 33, and the plastic spring 33 is sleeved on the liquid pump piston assembly 35 through the through hole 331. The plastic spring 33 is retracted between the air pump piston assembly 34 and the bottom of the cylinder 31, and includes multiple connecting seats 332 and elastic units 333 fixed between adjacent connecting seats 332.
[0032] The plastic spring 33 is externally arranged outside the liquid pump piston assembly 35. When liquid flows into the liquid pump piston assembly 35, it will not directly contact the plastic spring 33, and will not cause corrosion and other problems to the plastic spring 33. At the same time, the plastic spring 33 adopts a method of connecting the elastic unit 333 with multiple connecting seats 332, and the connecting seat 332 is used to support the compression of the elastic unit 333, thereby increasing the supporting stability of the plastic spring 33 and increasing the service life of the plastic spring 33.
[0033] Furthermore, the elastic unit 333 includes a first compression plate 3331, a second compression plate 3332 and a connecting plate 3333.

The first compression plate 3331, the second compression plate 3332 and the connecting plate 3333 are connected to form an “X” shape.
[0034] The plurality of connection seats 332 and the elastic unit 333 are integrally formed of plastic material, and the plastic spring 33 is an integrally formed structure. Further, the top connection seat 332 is fixed on the air pump piston assembly 34, and the bottom of the cylinder 31 is provided with a spring seat 7, and the bottom connection seat 332 is fixed on the spring seat 7.
[0035] Taking the elastic unit 333 at the top as an example, the elastic unit 333 is in the shape of an "X" in the main viewing direction. The two ends of the top of the "X" are fixed to the top connecting seat 332, and the two ends of the bottom are fixed to the next connecting seat 332.

[0036] The first compression plate 3331 includes a compression plane A and a compression plane B facing each other, wherein the compression plane B faces the second compression plate 3332. When the plastic spring 33 is compressed, the compression plane A is folded in half and contacts each other. The upper part of the compression plane B contacts the topmost connecting seat 332, and the lower part contacts the next connecting seat 332. Thus, the elasticity and support of the elastic unit 333 have good stability.

The hollow structure 3336 is arranged mirror-symmetrically along the connection position of the compression plate A 3334 and the compression plate B 3335. The hollow structure 3336 can reduce the amount of raw materials used for the plastic spring 33 and also facilitate the liquid pump piston assembly 35 to pass through the plastic spring 33.
[0039] Furthermore, in the same elastic unit 333, the connection position of the compression plate A3334 and the compression plate B3335 on the first compression plate 3331 is recorded as position A3337, the connection position of the compression plate A3334 and the compression plate B3335 on the second compression plate 3332 is recorded as position B3338, and the connecting plate 3333 fixes the connection between position A3337 and position B3338.
[0040] In the same elastic unit 333, there are two connecting pieces 3333, one connecting piece 3333 is fixedly connected to the same end of the position and the position B3338, and the other connecting piece 3333 is fixedly connected to the position A3337 and the other end of the position B3338. The connecting piece 3333 connects the first compression piece 3331 and the second compression piece 3332 together, and also serves as a compression support point for the first compression piece 3331 and the second compression piece 3332 during compression.
[0041] The plurality of connection seats 332 are all annular, so that the liquid pump piston assembly 35 can pass through the plastic spring 33. There are four elastic units 333, and two adjacent elastic units 333 are arranged in mirror symmetry along the connection seat 332 therebetween.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] like Figure 1-8As shown, this embodiment provides an external spring all-plastic foam pump, which, based on Embodiment 1, also includes the following specific structure.

The pressing member 2 comprises a pressing head 21, and a foam channel 22 is provided in the pressing head 21, and the foam channel 22 communicates with a liquid pump piston assembly 35 and a liquid inlet cylinder 32.
[0045] The air pump piston assembly 34 includes an annular seat 341 and an annular piston 342. The annular piston 342 moves with the pressing piece 2. The annular seat 341 is sleeved in the annular piston 342 and rests against the top of the plastic spring 33. The annular piston 342 and the inner cavity of the cylinder 31 form an air pump chamber 343. The annular piston 342 is provided with a vent hole.
[0046] The liquid pump piston assembly 35 includes a piston seat 351 and a piston rod 352 sleeved in the piston seat 351 . The piston seat 351 is arranged below the air pump piston assembly 34 , and the plastic spring 33 is sleeved outside the piston seat 351 .
[0047] Furthermore, a glass ball 4 and a limit block 5 are provided in the liquid inlet cylinder 32 , and the limit block 5 is used to limit the glass ball 4 from escaping from the liquid inlet cylinder 32 .
[0048] Furthermore, a friction net 6 is fixed on the upper part of the air pump piston assembly 34 to make the foam denser.
[0049] Working principle: When the pressing head 21 is pressed, the plastic spring 33 is compressed; when the pressing stops, the plastic spring 33 begins to reset, and the glass ball 4 moves upward under the action of the pressure difference, and the liquid enters the liquid inlet cylinder 32 and the liquid pump piston assembly 35. At the same time, the outside air enters the air pump chamber 343 through the vent, and then enters the top of the liquid pump piston assembly 35 through the gap. The gas and liquid converge above the liquid pump piston assembly 35 to form foam, and finally come out from the foam channel 22.
[0050] The utility model adopts a plastic spring 33 instead of a metal spring. The plastic spring 33 has good elasticity and stability. When used in a foam pump, corrosion and other problems will not occur. At the same time, the plastic spring 33 is made of the same plastic material as the foam pump, which is convenient for recycling and more environmentally friendly.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
