[0035] <Example 1>
[0036] This embodiment provides a dredge, in particular a dredge for dredging toilets or sewer pipes, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drain cleaner at least includes an air pumping device 1, an air storage device 2, a pressure display device 3 and an air release control device 4. The air pumping device 1 is an air pumping device for the drain cleaner. The air storage device 2 is installed on the air pumping device 1 and has an air storage cylinder 21 for storing gas from the air pumping device 1.
[0037] Specifically, the pumping device 1 is used to pump gas into the gas cylinder 21. Figure 3 As shown, the air pump 1 includes an air pump 11 made of plastic, an air pump rod 12, a base 14, an air release mounting seat 15, a pressure mounting seat 16, an end cover 17, a housing 18 and a main piston 10. The air release mounting seat 15 and the pressure mounting seat 16 are used to mount the air release control device 4 and the pressure display device 3 respectively. Figure 5 As shown, the pump 11, base 14, deflation mount 15, and pressure mount 16 are all integrally formed from plastic. Compared to the prior art method in which the pump 11 is separately mounted on the base 14 via a sealing ring, this embodiment eliminates this sealing structure, improving the product's sealing performance and reducing the risk of air leakage during inflation.
[0038] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the pump 11 is hollow and contains an air chamber 111. One end of a pump rod 12 is movably disposed within the chamber 111, while the other end extends out of the pump 11 and is provided with a handle 13. The base 14 is located at the bottom of the pump 11 and is used to mount the air reservoir 21. The base 14 is hollow and contains an air inlet chamber 141, within which the main piston 10 is movably disposed. In this embodiment, the axis of the air chamber 111 is coaxial with the axis of the air inlet chamber 141.
[0039] The base 14 is provided with an inner annular wall 142 and an outer annular wall 143. The inner side of the inner annular wall 142 surrounds and forms an air inlet cavity 141. A partition 112 is provided between the air inlet cavity 141 and the air inlet cavity 111. The air inlet check valve 61 is mounted on the partition 112. The inner side of the outer annular wall 143 is provided with a mounting portion for mounting the air reservoir 21. In this embodiment, the mounting portion is internally threaded, and the air reservoir 21 is provided with a matching external thread. The air reservoir 21 and the base 14 are connected by a thread. In actual situations, the mounting portion can also be a snap-fit structure, and a snap-fit connection is adopted accordingly. A connecting chamber 144 is formed between the inner annular wall 142 and the outer annular wall 143, which communicates with the interior of the air reservoir 21. The air inlet chamber 141 is in communication with the connecting chamber 144. During operation, gas from the pumping chamber 111 enters the air inlet chamber 141 through the air inlet one-way valve 61 when the air inlet one-way valve 61 is opened, and then enters the connecting chamber 144 (i.e., enters the air reservoir 21) through the gap between the air inlet chamber 141 and the main piston 10. An air storage chamber is formed inside the air reservoir 21, and a vertical air outlet pipe is provided in the middle. The interior of the air outlet pipe leads to the outside to form an air outlet chamber (the structure of the air reservoir 21 can be referred to in the prior patent CN218881073U). During this process, the main piston 10 moves under the action of the high-pressure gas and seals against the upper end of the air outlet pipe in the middle of the air reservoir 21. At this time, the air inlet chamber 141 and the air storage chamber are at the same high pressure.
[0040] A deflation chamber 151 is formed within the deflation mounting base 15. The distal end of the deflation control device 4 is mounted on the deflation mounting base 15. The deflation mounting base 15 also includes a deflation port 152 connecting the deflation chamber 151 with the intake chamber 141. When the deflation control device 4 is opened, the intake chamber 141 is connected to the outside atmosphere. Gas in the intake chamber 141 can enter the deflation chamber 151 through the deflation port 152 and be discharged to the outside through the deflation control device 4, creating a low pressure. At this point, the main piston 10 moves under the high pressure of the air storage chamber, opening the outlet pipe. The high-pressure gas in the air storage chamber is instantly released through the outlet pipe, achieving high-pressure dredging.
[0041] A pressure chamber 161 is formed in the pressure mounting seat 16, and the end of the pressure display device 3 is set on the pressure mounting seat 16. A pressure air port 162 is opened on the pressure mounting seat 16 to connect the pressure chamber 161 with the connecting chamber 144. The gas in the connecting chamber 144 (gas cylinder 21) can enter the pressure chamber 161 through the pressure air port 162, thereby facilitating the pressure display device 3 to detect the gas pressure in the gas cylinder 21 and display the current air pressure value.
[0042] In this embodiment, since the axis of the inflation chamber 111 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the air inlet chamber 141, the pressure mounting seat 16 and the deflation mounting seat 15 are respectively formed on both sides of the air pump 11, that is, the deflation control device 4 and the pressure display device 3 can be respectively placed on both sides of the air pump 11.
[0043] The end cap 17 is mounted on the end of the air pump 11 away from the base 14. The end cap 17 has an inner ring portion 171 and an outer ring portion 172. The inner side of the inner ring portion 171 is surrounded by a through hole 173 for the air rod 12 to pass through, and a gap is provided between the inner wall of the through hole 173 and the air rod 12 for gas to enter. When air is pumped, the external gas enters the pumping cavity 111 through the gap. The inner wall of the outer ring portion 172 is formed with a connecting portion connected to the air pump 11. In this embodiment, the connecting portion is an internal thread. Correspondingly, an external thread is formed on the top of the air pump 11. The air pump 11 and the end cap 17 are connected by a thread. In actual situations, the connecting portion can also be a structure such as a snap-on connection, which can be connected by a snap-on connection, or directly glued.
[0044] The outer shell 18 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the air pump 11, and one end of the outer shell 18 rests on the outer ring wall 143 of the base 14, and the other end rests on the outer ring portion 172 of the end cover 17. That is to say, the base 14 and the end cover 17 clamp the outer shell 18 between the two. Compared with the existing technology in which the left and right shells are fixed by screws, the installation structure is greatly simplified and the installation efficiency is improved.
[0045] The pumping rod 12 has a rod body 121 and a pumping piston 122. One end of the rod body 121 extends into the pumping cavity 111 to form the pumping piston 122. The diameter of the pumping piston 122 is larger than the diameter of the rod body 121, and is also larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 173 on the end cover 17, so that the end cover 17 can restrict the pumping piston 122 in the air pump 11 to prevent it from falling out; a sealing ring 124 is also provided between the outer ring of the pumping piston 122 and the inner wall of the pumping cavity 111.
[0046] The other end of the rod body 121 extends out of the air pump 11 and is provided with a hand-held portion 13. Figure 6 As shown, the hand-held portion 13 includes a handle 132 for holding and a fixing base 131 for fixing to the rod body 121. The two are formed in one piece. The handle 132 is cylindrical and arranged perpendicular to the rod body 121. A socket 135 is provided in the middle of the fixing base 131 for inserting the end of the rod body 121 away from the pumping piston 122. A limiting hole 133 is provided on the peripheral side of the fixing base 131. A limiting block 123 that cooperates with the limiting hole 133 is provided on the rod body 121. A slot 134 leading to the limiting hole 133 is formed on the peripheral wall of the socket 135. The limiting block 123 is inserted along the slot 134 and is clamped into the limiting hole 133.
[0047] <Example 2>
[0048] like Figure 7-Figure 9As shown, this embodiment differs from the aforementioned embodiment 1 in that the axis L1 of the pumping chamber 111 and the axis L2 of the air inlet chamber 141 are not collinear, but are arranged parallel to each other, i.e., L1 and L2 are eccentrically arranged. In this case, the air inlet check valve 61 is also offset a certain distance, creating a relatively ample space on one side of the pump 11 (the left side in the figure). The pressure mounting seat 16 and the deflation mounting seat 15 can be formed on the same side of the pump 11, allowing the deflation control device 4 and the pressure display device 3 to be placed on the same side of the pumping chamber 111. This improves the space utilization between the housing 18 and the pump 11. Conversely, the diameters of the housing 18, base 14, and air reservoir can be designed to be smaller, achieving product miniaturization.
[0049] <Example 3>
[0050] like Figure 10-11 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above-mentioned embodiment 1, further includes a nest 145 on the inner wall of the intake chamber 141. The main piston 10 is movably mounted within this nest 145. When the intake chamber 141 and the inflation chamber 111 are coaxially arranged, the size of the intake chamber 141 can be expanded to provide sufficient installation space for the deflation control device 4 and the pressure display device 3. However, due to the limitations of the one-piece molding process, the precision of the inner surface of the intake chamber 141 will decrease. To address this issue, an annular nest 145 can be provided on the inner wall of the intake chamber 141. The nest 145 has an interference fit with the intake chamber 141 and is provided with a rib. During assembly, the nest 145 can be directly pressed into place for securement. Because the nest 145 is a separately injection-molded component, its inner wall is highly precise, which helps to increase the sliding stability and life of the main piston 10.
[0051] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
