[0030] A fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the diaphragm housing 2, a motor 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 4, a disc 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 5, a limiting column 7 is fixedly connected to the disc 6, a limiting groove 8 is slidably connected to the limiting column 7, a connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the limiting groove 8, one end of the connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to an adjusting plug 20, a guiding block 10 is fixedly connected to the air inlet hole 3, the connecting rod 9 slidably penetrates through the guiding block 10, a through hole is provided in the adjusting plug 20, a sealing gasket 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting plug 20, a plurality of groups of through holes are provided in the blocking piece 22, the through holes in the sealing gasket 21 are in fit with the through holes in the blocking piece 22, the adjusting plug 20 respectively slides in the air inlet hole 3 and the central column 23, diaphragms are respectively provided at both ends of the sliding connecting plate 19, the two diaphragms are respectively fixedly connected in the diaphragm housing 2, the two diaphragms divide the valve body housing 1 into four parts, which are successively the first cavity 15, the second cavity 16, the fourth cavity 18, and the third cavity 17 from the air inlet hole 3 inwards, the limiting column 7 is eccentrically arranged on the disc 6, a stop block is provided on the limiting column 7, four groups of diaphragm pump balls 24 are provided, the two groups of diaphragm pump balls 24 are respectively in fit with both ends of the second cavity 16, the two groups of diaphragm pump balls 24 are respectively in fit with both ends of the fourth cavity 18, the air inlet hole 3 is concentric with the cavity of the central column 23, the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 are respectively located at both ends of the valve body housing 1, and the material of the sealing gasket 21 is a rubber material.

[0031] Working principle: When in use, the operator connects the liquid outlet 11 and the liquid suction port 12 to the pipeline respectively, connects the compressed air interface to the air inlet hole 3, and then starts the motor 5 to drive the rotating disc 6 to rotate, driving the limit post 7 to rotate eccentrically, thereby pulling the limit groove 8. Under the restriction of the guide block 10 through the limit groove 8, the connecting rod 9 is driven to move horizontally in the air inlet hole 3 and the central column 23. When the connecting rod 9 is displaced to the farthest position in the air inlet hole 3, the sealing gasket 21 fits with several groups of through holes on the blocking piece 22, and the air entering from the air inlet hole 3 can only enter the first cavity 15. The diaphragm on one side of the first cavity 15 is pressed towards the second cavity 16 by the air pressure, thereby squeezing out the diaphragm pump ball 24 at the upper end of the second cavity 16 to form a passage. At the same time, the diaphragm pump ball 24 below the second cavity 16 is squeezed into the second housing 14 to seal the liquid suction port 12 side. At the same time, the sliding connecting plate 19 is pushed on the central column 23 by the air pressure in the first cavity 15, thereby forming a negative pressure inside the fourth cavity 18, squeezing the diaphragm pump ball 24 above the fourth cavity 18, and closing the upper part of the fourth cavity 18. Since the inside of the fourth cavity 18 is in negative pressure, the diaphragm pump ball 24 below is squeezed and moves upward to open the liquid suction port 12 side to form a passage, and the liquid is squeezed from the liquid suction port 12 into the lower part of the fourth cavity 18. When the limit post 7 drives the connecting rod 9 to move to the closest distance from the air inlet hole 3, the adjusting plug 20 is pulled between the central column 23 and the air inlet hole 3, and the sealing gasket 21 no longer fits with the blocking piece 22. At this time, the gas cannot enter the first cavity 15 and can only enter the third cavity 17 through the through holes inside the adjusting plug 20 and then cooperate with several through holes on the blocking piece 22. By squeezing the diaphragm on one side of the third cavity 17, the sliding connecting plate 19 is pushed to slide. At this time, the third cavity 17 expands and the air in the fourth cavity 18 is squeezed. The diaphragm pump ball 24 at the upper end of the fourth cavity 18 moves upward to open the passage of the liquid outlet 11. At the same time, the diaphragm pump ball 24 below the fourth cavity 18 seals the liquid suction port 12 by extrusion. The liquid below the fourth cavity 18 can be discharged through the liquid outlet 11 due to extrusion. At the same time, due to the sliding of the sliding connecting plate 19, a negative pressure is formed inside the second cavity 16, pressing the upper diaphragm pump ball 24 downward to block the liquid outlet 11 side. Due to the negative pressure below the second cavity 16, the diaphragm pump ball 24 is squeezed upward to cooperate with the liquid suction port 12 to pump the liquid into the lower part of the second cavity 16. Repeating the above actions, the motor 5 drives the adjusting plug 20 to reciprocate to cooperate with the external compressed air to change the air pressure in different spaces inside the valve body housing 1, thereby achieving the effect of segmented pumping on both sides. Segmented pumping on both sides can provide continuous and stable fluid flow, reduce pressure fluctuations. Due to the reciprocating movement of the diaphragm, the diaphragm pump has no dead zone, which can reduce bacterial growth and fluid retention. The threaded design of the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 is convenient for the operator to disassemble and maintain and repair the internal components.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
