[0025] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the utility model more clear and understandable, the following further describes the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the present utility model provides an external spring foam pump, which includes an outer cover 1, a pressing head 2, a cylinder 3, a liquid pump cylinder 4, an air pump piston 5 and a liquid pump piston assembly 6. The pressing head 2 is arranged on the top of the outer cover 1. The cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the outer cover 1. The liquid pump cylinder 4 is connected to the bottom of the cylinder 3. The top of the air pump piston 5 is sleeved in the pressing head 2. The air pump piston 5 moves with the pressing head 2. The bottom of the air pump piston 5 abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder 3. The top of the liquid pump piston assembly 6 is sleeved in the air pump piston 5. The liquid pump piston assembly 6 moves with the air pump piston 5 and is installed at the connection position between the cylinder 3 and the liquid pump cylinder 4 at the bottom. A spring 7 is sleeved outside the liquid pump piston assembly 6. The spring 7 moves with the liquid pump piston assembly 6 in the cylinder 3.

[0027] The air pump piston 5 moves together with the pressing head 2. The liquid pump piston assembly 6 moves together with the air pump piston 5. The spring 7 compresses and moves within the cylinder 3. The air pump piston 5 is an integral structure that simultaneously connects the pressing head 2 and the liquid pump piston assembly 6. Even without a ring vane, it can simultaneously link the pressing head 2 and the liquid pump piston assembly 6 to achieve foam pumping, making the assembly simpler and more convenient.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 , the liquid pump piston assembly 6 includes a piston seat 601 and a piston rod 602 sleeved within the piston seat 601. The top of the piston seat 601 is sleeved within the air pump piston 5. A sealing ring 8 is provided at the top of the liquid pump cylinder 4. The bottom of the sealing ring 8 seals the liquid pump cylinder 4. The top of the sealing ring 8 is sleeved on the bottom of the piston seat 601 and seals the bottom of the piston seat 601. Under the sealing of the bottom of the sealing ring 8, the liquid in the liquid pump cylinder 4 can only enter within the sealing ring 8 and will not enter the cylinder 3. Under the sealing of the top of the sealing ring 8, the liquid that enters within the sealing ring 8 can only enter between the piston seat 601 and the piston rod 602. The liquid enters the liquid pump piston assembly 6 after passing through the inside of the sealing ring 8 from the liquid pump cylinder 4. The spring 7 is sleeved outside the liquid pump piston assembly 6. Therefore, the spring 7 does not directly contact the liquid, and the spring 7 will not be corroded by the liquid, resulting in a longer service life.

[0029] The inside of the sealing ring 8 is hollow. The bottom of the piston rod 602 is sleeved outside the sealing ring 8. A limiting block 9 is provided within the sealing ring 8. The bottom end of the piston rod 602 is restricted within the liquid pump cylinder 4 by the limiting block 9. The bottom of the piston seat 601 moves under the guidance of the top of the sealing ring 8. That is to say, although the bottom of the piston seat 601 is sealed by the sealing ring 8, the piston seat 601 is still movable relative to the sealing ring 8.

[0030] It should be noted that a tapered block 23 is provided at the bottom end of the piston rod 602. The top surface of the tapered block 23 abuts against and seals the bottom surface of the limiting block 9. The limiting block 9 separates the piston rod 602 and the tapered block 23, ensuring that the tapered block 23 can only move below the limiting block 9.

[0031] Reference Figure 7, there is a protruding vertical rib 24 on the piston rod 602. In the un-pressed state, the vertical rib 24 does not contact the limit block 9, that is to say, there is a certain distance between the vertical rib 24 and the limit block 9 at this time. When the liquid pump piston assembly 6 moves downward, the vertical rib 24 moves downward, the conical block 23 disengages from the limit block 9, and the liquid begins to enter between the piston seat 601 and the piston rod 602. When the vertical rib 24 abuts against the limit block 9, the vertical rib 24 can drive the sealing ring 8 to continue moving downward. At this time, the vertical rib 24 does not completely seal the limit block 9, and the liquid can still enter between the piston seat 601 and the piston rod 602 through the gap between the vertical rib 24 and the limit block 9; when the liquid pump piston assembly 6 moves upward under the action of the spring 7, the conical block 23 at the bottom of the piston rod 602 will push the sealing ring 8 to move upward again until the sealing ring 8 stops moving when it abuts against the spring seat 10.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 , a spring seat 10 is fixed at the bottom of the cylinder 3, a limit ring 11 is fixed at the top of the liquid pump piston assembly 6, the limit ring 11 is fixed on the piston seat 601, the top of the spring 7 abuts against the limit ring 11 and the bottom is fixedly arranged in the spring seat 10. An annular first assembly strip 12 is fixedly arranged upward on the outer periphery of the limit ring 11, and an annular first assembly hole 13 is arranged at the bottom of the air pump piston 5. The first assembly strip 12 is fixed in the first assembly hole 13. The first assembly hole 13 and the first assembly strip 12 cooperate to fix the air pump piston 5 and the liquid pump piston assembly 6, ensuring that the liquid pump piston assembly 6 moves with the air pump piston 5.

[0033] A second assembly hole 14 is formed in the limit ring 11. A second assembly strip 15 and a third assembly strip 16 are fixed at the bottom of the first assembly strip 12. The second assembly strip 15 is fixed in the second assembly hole 14, and the third assembly strip 16 abuts against the air pump piston 5. The second assembly strip 15 and the third assembly strip 16 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first assembly strip 12. Further, the first assembly strip 12, the second assembly strip 15 and the third assembly strip 16 are of an integral structure. Further, a groove 17 is arranged at the bottom of the cylinder 3, and the spring seat 10 is fixed in the groove 17.

[0034] The air pump piston 5 and the liquid pump piston assembly 6 are jointly fixed by the first assembly strip 12 and the second assembly strip 15. The third assembly strip 16 increases the fixing area between the first assembly strip 12 and the air pump piston 5, enhancing the stability. The first assembly strip 12, the second assembly strip 15 and the third assembly strip 16 jointly fix the air pump piston 5 and the liquid pump piston assembly 6, with strong stability. After assembling the air pump piston 5 and the liquid pump piston assembly 6 first, and then installing them into the cylinder 3, the assembly is simple, there is no assembly error problem, and it is more reliable.

[0035] Inside the pressing head 2, a friction net 18 is fixedly installed. The bottom of the friction net 18 is sleeved on the top of the air pump piston 5. Above the friction net 18, the pressing head 2 is provided with a limiting shoulder 19 that restricts the movement of the friction net 18.

[0036] Furthermore, a limiting cavity 20 is provided inside the liquid pump cylinder 4. Inside the limiting cavity 20, a glass ball 21 is provided. The glass ball 21 can move inside the limiting cavity 20 according to the air pressure change. The glass ball 21 can block or not block the limiting cavity 20, thereby realizing whether the liquid pump cylinder 4 allows liquid to pass through.

[0037] Furthermore, a foam channel 22 is provided inside the pressing head 2. The top of the air pump piston 5 and the friction net 18 are both sleeved inside the foam channel 22.

[0038] Working principle: Press the pressing head 2, the air pump piston 5 and the liquid pump piston assembly 6 move, and the spring 7 is compressed. When the pressing stops, the spring 7 resets. Under the action of the pressure difference, the glass ball 21 moves upward and no longer blocks the bottom opening of the limiting cavity 20. The liquid enters the liquid pump cylinder 4 and then enters the liquid pump piston assembly 6. At this time, the gas enters above the liquid pump piston assembly 6 and converges with the liquid inside the liquid pump piston assembly 6 above the liquid pump piston assembly 6 to form foam, and the foam finally discharges from the foam channel 22.

[0039] The air pump piston 5 with an integrated structure of the present utility model is simultaneously connected to the pressing head 2 and the liquid pump piston assembly 6, so that the air pump piston 5 moves together with the pressing head 2, and the liquid pump piston assembly 6 moves together with the air pump piston 5, realizing the linkage of the pressing head 2 and the liquid pump piston assembly 6, realizing the foam pumping of the foam pump, and the assembly is simpler.

[0040] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
