[0008] The variable-diameter component includes a cam disk and a push rod; the cam disk is sleeved outside the ring-shaped boss one and forms a rotating pair with the ring-shaped boss one; an arc-shaped rack integrally formed and coaxially arranged is provided outside the cam disk, and a plurality of cams integrally formed and equidistantly arranged along the circumferential direction are provided; a plurality of radially arranged push rods are provided, and the number of the push rods equidistantly arranged along the circumferential direction is equal to the number of the cams. The inner end of each push rod forms a cam pair with a cam, the middle part passes through a hole opened on the ring-shaped boss two and forms a sliding pair with the corresponding hole, and an arc-shaped plate integrally formed is provided at the outer end, and the arc-shaped plate contacts the inner side of the rubber sealing ring. The driving component includes a driving motor and a gear; the driving motor is fixed to both the ring-shaped boss one and the pressure plate retaining ring and drives the gear to rotate, and the gear meshes with the arc-shaped rack.

[0009] Preferably, a vertically arranged sleeve is integrally formed on the first annular boss, and both ends of the housing of the driving motor are fixed to the sleeve and the pressure plate retaining ring through the first bolt and the second bolt respectively.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of annular grooves are uniformly arranged along the axial direction on the inner side wall of the cam disc.

[0011] Preferably, in the initial state where the rubber sealing ring is not deformed, each push rod is at the innermost end, and the sum of the outer arc lengths of all the arc-shaped plates is equal to the inner circumference of the rubber sealing ring.

[0012] Preferably, the width of the arc-shaped plate is equal to the distance between the gasket and the support disc.

[0013] More preferably, a plurality of tooth grooves are arranged along the arc on both the upper and lower parts of the arc-shaped plate to form a plurality of comb teeth.

[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In view of the fact that the diameters corresponding to different heights inside the conical barrel are different, the pressure plate of the utility model can realize the change of the outer diameter of the rubber sealing ring, and the range of the outer diameter change is large, so that the side of the pressure plate is always in close contact with the barrel wall of the conical barrel, and the sealing performance is strong. Therefore, the pressure plate pump using the utility model can be applied to the operation of the conical barrel to pump out the liquid in the conical barrel. In this way, the manufacturer can choose to use a conical barrel that is more convenient for transporting empty barrels to store the liquid. Specifically, the utility model drives the gear to rotate forward or backward through the driving motor, so that the gear drives the cam disc to rotate backward or forward through the arc-shaped rack. During the operation of the pressure plate pump using the utility model on the conical barrel, when the support disc enters the barrel mouth of the conical barrel, the cam disc rotates backward, and each cam on the cam disc pushes each push rod to drive each arc-shaped plate to move outward, and each arc-shaped plate pushes the rubber sealing ring to expand outward, so that the outer diameter of the rubber sealing ring increases, and the outer side of the rubber sealing ring is closely attached to the inner wall of the barrel mouth of the conical barrel. When the support disc moves downward inside the conical barrel, the cam disc rotates forward, and the restoring force of the rubber sealing ring pushes each push rod to move inward through each arc-shaped plate. The outer diameter of the rubber sealing ring decreases, but the outer side of the rubber sealing ring is always closely attached to the inner wall of the barrel mouth of the conical barrel. Furthermore, the change of the outer diameter of the rubber sealing ring is realized, and the pressure plate pump using the utility model can be applied to the operation of the conical barrel.

[0018] 2. The utility model adopts a driving motor to drive the cam disc to rotate, and then pushes the push rod to move back and forth to achieve variable diameter. The transmission is simple, efficient, accurate, and highly controllable.

[0019] 3. The comb teeth on the arc plate at the outer end of the push rod in the utility model can not only ensure that the action height of the arc plate inside the rubber sealing ring reaches the maximum, but also reduce the contact area between the arc plate and the gasket and the support disc, making the push rod and the arc plate move flexibly.

[0025] The following further describes the utility model with reference to the drawings.

[0026] As Figure 1 shown, a variable-diameter pressure plate applied to a pressure plate pump in the utility model includes a support disc 1, a variable-diameter assembly 2, a drive assembly 3, a pressure plate retaining ring 4, a gasket 5, and a rubber sealing ring 6; the rubber sealing ring 6 can adopt the structural form of a bicycle inner tube.

[0027] The horizontally arranged support disc 1 is provided with a central hole, and at the top, an integrally formed first annular boss is provided at the outer edge of the central hole, and a second annular boss is integrally formed outside the first annular boss. A third annular boss is integrally formed at the top of the first annular boss. The central axes of the support disc 1, the first annular boss, the second annular boss, and the third annular boss are coaxially arranged. The rubber sealing ring 6 is sleeved outside the second annular boss and placed on the support disc 1; the pressure plate retaining ring 4 is fixed to the top of the second annular boss (which can be connected by threads), and contacts the top of the rubber sealing ring 6. A gasket 5 is provided between the pressure plate retaining ring 4 and the rubber sealing ring 6. The pressure plate retaining ring 4 and the support disc 1 axially limit the rubber sealing ring 6, but the pressure plate retaining ring 4 does not press the rubber sealing ring 6 tightly, ensuring that the rubber sealing ring 6 can expand or retract smoothly; the outer diameter of the rubber sealing ring 6 is larger than the outer circular surface diameters of the support disc 1 and the gasket 5.

[0028] As shown Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the variable-diameter component 2 includes a cam disk 13 and a push rod 12; the cam disk 13 is sleeved outside the first annular boss and forms a rotating pair with the first annular boss; an integrally formed and coaxially arranged arc-shaped rack is provided on the outside of the cam disk 13, and a plurality of cams integrally formed and arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction are provided; a plurality of radially arranged push rods 12 are provided, and the number of the push rods 12 arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction is equal to the number of the cams. The inner end of each push rod 12 forms a cam pair with a cam, the middle part passes through a hole opened on the second annular boss and forms a sliding pair with the corresponding hole, and an integrally formed arc-shaped plate is provided at the outer end, and the arc-shaped plate contacts the inner side of the rubber sealing ring 6 to increase the contact area between the push rod 12 and the rubber sealing ring 6. As shown Figure 2 shown, the driving component 3 includes a driving motor 8 and a gear 10; the driving motor 8 is fixed to both the first annular boss and the pressure plate retaining ring 4, drives the gear 10 to rotate, and the gear 10 meshes with the arc-shaped rack.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, a vertically arranged sleeve 11 is integrally formed on the first annular boss, and both ends of the housing of the driving motor 8 are fixed to the sleeve 11 and the pressure plate retaining ring 4 respectively, and the fixing method is connected by a first bolt 7 and a second bolt 9.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of annular grooves are uniformly arranged along the axial direction on the inner side wall of the cam disk 13, and the annular grooves are used to reduce the friction area between the cam disk 13 and the first annular boss.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, in the initial state where the rubber sealing ring 6 is not deformed, each push rod 12 is at the innermost end, and the sum of the outer arc lengths of all the arc-shaped plates is equal to the inner circumference of the rubber sealing ring 6, further increasing the contact area between the push rod 12 and the rubber sealing ring 6. However, it should be noted that Figure 3 Figure 18 shows another embodiment in which the sum of the outer arc lengths of all the arc-shaped plates is less than the inner circumference of the rubber sealing ring 6.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the width of the arc-shaped plate is equal to the distance between the gasket 5 and the support disk 1.

[0033] More preferably, a plurality of tooth grooves are provided along the arc on the upper and lower parts of the arc-shaped plate to form a plurality of comb teeth. In this way, while ensuring that the acting height of the arc-shaped plate on the inner side of the rubber sealing ring 6 reaches the maximum (the width of the arc-shaped plate is equal to the distance between the gasket 5 and the support disk 1, which is the maximum width that can be achieved, and at this time the acting height on the inner side of the rubber sealing ring 6 reaches the maximum), the contact area between the arc-shaped plate and the gasket 5 and the support disk 1 can also be reduced.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, a hemispherical body is integrally formed at the inner end of the push rod 12, and a point contact is formed between the hemispherical body and the corresponding cam, facilitating the cam to push out the push rod 12.

[0035] The working principle of a variable-diameter pressure plate of the utility model applied to a pressure plate pump is as follows:

[0036] Using the utility model to replace the pressure plate of a traditional pressure plate pump, fix the top end of the annular boss III to the bottom end of the pump body of the pressure plate pump, and make the central hole of the annular boss III communicate with the inlet of the pump body. During the operation of the pressure plate pump of the utility model on a conical barrel, lower the support plate 1 until it enters the mouth of the conical barrel, then drive the motor 8 to drive the gear 10 to rotate forward. The gear 10 meshes with the arc-shaped rack, thereby driving the cam disk 13 to rotate reversely. Each cam on the cam disk 13 pushes the corresponding push rod 12 to move outward. The arc-shaped plates on the push rods 12 push the rubber sealing ring 6 to expand outward, and thus the outer diameter of the rubber sealing ring 6 increases, making the outer side of the rubber sealing ring 6 fit against the inner wall of the mouth of the conical barrel. Then, the support plate 1 moves downward inside the conical barrel, and at the same time, the drive motor 8 drives the gear 10 to rotate reversely, thereby driving the cam disk 13 to rotate forward. The restoring force of the rubber sealing ring 6 pushes each arc-shaped plate to drive each push rod 12 to move inward, and the outer diameter of the rubber sealing ring 6 also decreases synchronously, and the outer side of the rubber sealing ring 6 always closely adheres to the inner wall of the conical barrel. Therefore, it can realize the change of the outer diameter of the rubber sealing ring 6, enabling the pressure plate pump of the utility model to operate on the conical barrel and pump out the liquid in the conical barrel. Among them, let half of the difference between the outer circle diameter of the support plate 1 and the inner diameter of the rubber sealing ring 6 be a, half of the difference between the outer circle diameter of the gasket 5 and the inner diameter of the rubber sealing ring 6 be b, and the displacement of the push rod 12 be c. Then a > c and b > c, ensuring that the rubber sealing ring 6 will not fall off between the gasket 5 and the support plate 1 after expanding outward.
