Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of peristaltic pumps, in particular to a micro-pulsation-free peristaltic pump. Background Art

[0002] A peristaltic pump consists of three parts: the drive, the pump head, and the hose. A peristaltic pump is like squeezing a hose full of fluid with your fingers. As your fingers slide forward, the fluid moves forward. A peristaltic pump works on the same principle, except that the fingers are replaced by balls. Fluid is pumped by alternately squeezing and releasing the pump's elastic delivery hose. Just like squeezing a hose with two fingers, as the fingers move, negative pressure is formed in the tube, and the liquid flows accordingly. A pulsationless peristaltic pump is a type of peristaltic pump. After searching, it is found that a typical micro peristaltic pump in the prior art is a pulsationless peristaltic pump such as publication number CN115875248A, which includes: a winding assembly, a hose and a ball assembly; the winding assembly is provided with: a liquid outlet curve portion and a progressive curve portion 1; the liquid outlet curve portion and the progressive curve portion are concentrically spirally connected; the hose is wound around the liquid outlet curve portion and the progressive curve portion 1; the ball assembly rotates around the common central axis of the liquid outlet curve portion and the progressive curve portion 1, the ball assembly is always completely pressed against the hose wound on the liquid outlet curve portion, and at the same time, the ball assembly is pressed against the hose wound on the progressive curve portion 1 by an equal amount of space loosening within an equal rotation angle difference. Its main feature is that a progressive curve portion is set to evenly disperse the negative liquid output caused by the reflux caused by the sudden change of the cavity in the liquid output curve portion within each angle during the cyclic rotation of the ball assembly around the liquid output curve portion; and because the liquid output generated by the cyclic pressing of the ball assembly on the liquid output curve portion is constant, the two stable linear liquid flows are merged together to ensure the pulsation-free transmission of the peristaltic pump.

[0003] In summary, most of the existing pulsation-free peristaltic pumps do not have a self-checking function, which may easily cause the corrugated hose to be squeezed and damaged, thereby causing leakage of the conveying medium. In view of the above problems, it is necessary to improve the existing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a micro pulseless peristaltic pump, comprising a housing and a self-checking mechanism,

[0006] A motor is arranged inside the shell, and the output end of the motor is connected to the pumping mechanism through a transmission shaft, a cam is connected to the transmission shaft, and the cam is arranged corresponding to the circulating air supply mechanism, the pumping mechanism includes a disc, a fixed block, a ball, a bellows, a water outlet valve and a water inlet valve, and a ball is arranged on the outside of the disc, and the ball is connected to the disc through a fixed block, the ball is in contact with the bellows, and the bellows is arranged inside the second equipment cavity, and the self-inspection mechanism is arranged on one side of the pumping mechanism, and the self-inspection mechanism is connected to the first shell.

[0007] Preferably, heat dissipation holes are provided on the shell, and a maintenance plate is connected to one side wall of the shell by bolts, and handles are symmetrically provided on the top of the shell.

[0008] Preferably, the cam and the circulating air supply mechanism are both arranged inside the first equipment cavity, and the first equipment cavity is opened inside the first shell.

[0009] Preferably, the balls are distributed in an annular array on the outer edge of the disc, and the balls are in contact with the outer wall of the bellows.

[0010] Preferably, a water outlet valve and a water inlet valve are connected to the bellows, and the water inlet valve is connected to the self-test mechanism via a one-way pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the self-inspection mechanism includes a baffle, an air pump, a one-way valve and a connector, and a third equipment cavity is opened on the inner side of the baffle, and an air pump is installed in the third equipment cavity.

[0012] Preferably, the baffle is provided with connectors distributed in a rectangular array, and the baffle is connected to the first shell through the connectors, a control panel is installed on the outer wall of the first shell, and a warning light is provided on the control panel.

[0013] Preferably, the air pump is connected to the bellows via a one-way pipe, and the one-way pipe is connected to a one-way valve and a pressure sensor.

[0014] Preferably, the circulating air supply mechanism includes a movable plate, an airbag, a mounting frame and a through hole, and the movable plate is connected to the mounting frame through the airbag, the movable plate is slidably connected to the inside of the first equipment cavity, and a through hole is opened on the first equipment cavity, and the through hole is arranged corresponding to the exhaust port of the airbag.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the micro pulseless peristaltic pump,

[0016] (1) The utility model can effectively solve the problem that most existing pulseless peristaltic pumps do not have the self-checking function through the coordinated use of the self-checking mechanism and the pumping mechanism, which makes it easy for the corrugated hose to be squeezed and damaged, thereby causing the leakage of the conveying medium. After the device is used, the control panel is operated to start the air pump, and the air pump continuously pumps gas into the interior of the bellows through the one-way pipe. At this time, the pressure sensor detects the internal pressure of the pipe, and thereby avoids the bellows from leaking the conveying medium due to damage, thereby preventing the conveying medium from polluting and damaging its internal parts, that is, achieving the purpose of self-maintenance of the pump tube and enriching its functionality. In addition, the motor drives the disc to rotate through the transmission shaft and synchronously drives multiple groups of balls to rotate through the fixed block. The multiple groups of balls rotate and squeeze the bellows, so that the medium inside the bellows flows for conveying. The air pump continuously pumps gas into the interior of the bellows through the one-way pipe, thereby playing a role in auxiliary conveying, thereby ensuring the continuity and efficiency of conveying and optimizing the structure of the device;

[0017] (2) The utility model can effectively solve the problem that the motor of the existing non-pulsating peristaltic pump mainly dissipates heat through the heat dissipation holes, and is prone to overheating failure due to low heat dissipation efficiency after long-term operation through the coordinated use of the circulating air supply mechanism and the cam. When the motor drives the disc to rotate through the transmission shaft, the cam follows the rotation. When the convex point of the cam rotates to the moving plate, it accumulates and causes extrusion. The compressed moving plate will compress the airbag, and then the gas inside the airbag will be discharged to the inside of the shell through the through hole, so that the heat emitted by the motor when working is quickly discharged through the heat dissipation holes, and the entire auxiliary heat dissipation operation does not require additional driving equipment to drive. Similarly, when the convex point of the cam rotates away from the moving plate, the compressed airbag is deformed and stretched due to the end of compression, so that the external gas automatically fills into the compressed airbag through the one-way air inlet, thereby providing conditions for the next exhaust operation;

[0018] (3) The utility model can effectively solve the problem that most of the existing pulseless peristaltic pumps are of one-piece structure and have a single disassembly and maintenance position, which makes it inconvenient to carry out maintenance work through the coordinated use of connecting parts and maintenance plates. The staff can remove the baffle and the maintenance plate from different positions of the device by removing the connecting parts and bolts according to the maintenance needs, and then the internal parts can be inspected, and the disassembly process is relatively convenient.
