[0002] In many occasions, some disinfection and hand washing facilities are equipped, such as hospitals, hotels, airports, docks, schools, stations and other places. Such facilities usually have upper and lower liquid discharge methods. The upper liquid discharge method will leave more liquid in the bottle, causing waste. The lower liquid discharge method can solve the problem of liquid residue, but the traditional structure of the inverted liquid discharge method cannot replace the air between the liquid container and the outside world, which will cause the liquid bottle to deform due to the drop in internal air pressure, and even have the risk of rupture. At present, the foam liquid dispenser with ventilation function on the market is basically an upper liquid discharge method, which uses the reciprocating motion of the internal structure of the pump to achieve ventilation, and the pump is used above the liquid container; and the lower liquid discharge method is not easy to design a ventilation structure because the pump is below the liquid container. Even if there is ventilation, the structure will become significantly complicated. Ventilation needs to be achieved through the bottle cap on the top of the container or other methods, so there is usually no ventilation function, such as a foam liquid dispenser disclosed in patent CN202492046U.

The main difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the outer compression tube 4 and the air chamber 41 are added.

[0022] A liquid discharge one-way valve 52 is installed between the inner shell 14 and the lower shell 12 via a spring 53, and the lower end of the spring 53 abuts against the lower shell 12 (a rubber plug cover 19 can also be covered on the liquid discharge one-way valve 52 of the first embodiment); a mixing chamber 13 is formed in a space between the liquid discharge one-way valve 52 and the nozzle 15 in the lower shell 12, the air chamber 41 is connected to the mixing chamber 13 via the air channel 42, and the liquid discharge one-way valve 52 is connected to the nozzle 15 via the mixing chamber 13.

[0023] Both the inner compression tube 3 and the outer compression tube 4 are made of elastic bellows tubes, and interference fit is used to achieve a sealed connection between the inner compression tube 3 and the upper shell 11 and the inner shell 14, and between the outer compression tube 4 and the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12; interference fit is also used to achieve a sealed connection between the upper shell 11 and the connector 2.

[0024] A filter screen 16 is provided at the lower portion of the lower shell 12 , and the filter screen 16 is sealed in the lower shell 12 by a nozzle 15 .

[0025] The bottom of the connector 2 and the portion where it docks with the upper shell 11 are concave structures, in which the air intake check valve 6 is embedded and fixed in the side wall hole of the upper shell 11 by limiting the connector 2; there is a gap for air circulation between the upper shell 11 and the air intake check valve 51 and the connector 2.

[0026] A gasket 21 is provided at the bottom of the connector 2 , and after the container 8 filled with the specified liquid is placed in the connector 2 , the gap between the two is sealed by the gasket 21 .

[0027] The utility model is combined with the container 8 and installed on the driving system. The driving system includes a fixing device 71, a driving mechanism 72, a pushing member 73 and a fixing member 74. The fixing device 71 is fixed on a support such as a wall, the pushing member 73 (such as a slider) is movably assembled with the fixing device 71, and the fixing member 74 is fixedly assembled with the fixing device 71; the driving mechanism 72 (such as a matching structure of a motor and a cam) is installed on the fixing device 71, and the pushing member 73 is connected to the driving mechanism 72; the fixing member 74 is connected and fixed to the upper shell 11, and the pushing member 73 is connected and fixed, and both can be fixed by plugging.

[0028] Working process: 1. Put your hand in the automatic sensing area of ​​the device, the device receives the signal and works, the driving mechanism 72 works to drive the pusher 73 to move upward, driving the lower shell 12 to move upward, the air in the liquid chamber 31 and the air chamber 41 is compressed, the liquid inlet check valve 51 and the air inlet check valve 6 are both pressurized and closed to ensure no liquid leakage, and the liquid outlet check valve 52 is pressurized to open and discharge the air.

[0029] 2. After the pusher 73 moves to a certain position, it is separated from the driving mechanism 72. The inner compression tube 3 and the outer compression tube 4 begin to rebound downward under their own elastic force, and the liquid outlet check valve 52 is closed under the action of the spring 53. The lower shell 12 continues to move downward, and negative pressure is formed in the liquid chamber. The liquid inlet check valve 51 is opened to suck in liquid. At the same time, the air inlet check valve 6 is also opened to suck in air, and the air enters the container 8 through the liquid inlet channel of the upper shell 11, so that the pressure inside and outside the container 8 is balanced and it will not become flat because there is no pressure difference.

[0030] When the lower shell 12 moves downward, air enters the air chamber 41 from the nozzle 15 through the filter 16, the mixing chamber 13 and the air channel 42, and brings the residual foamy liquid into the air chamber 41 through the mixing chamber 13 and the air channel 41, preventing the residual foam from turning into liquid and dripping, saving costs and being more environmentally friendly.

[0031] 3. After the inner compression tube 3 and the outer compression tube 4 rebound into place, the driving mechanism 72 drives the pusher 73 to move upward again, and the liquid in the liquid chamber 31 flushes the liquid outlet one-way valve 52, and the air is compressed and discharged through the air channel. The air and liquid are mixed in the mixing chamber 13, and the liquid mixed with air passes through the filter 16 to form a uniform and delicate foam liquid.

[0032] During operation, the liquid chamber 31 and the air chamber 41 perform synchronous reciprocating motion due to the elasticity of the inner compression tube 3 and the outer compression tube 4, and a quantitative ratio of liquid and air is simultaneously input into the mixing chamber 13, thereby spitting out foamy liquid.

[0033] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not limit the scope of implementation of the present application. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the present application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
