Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of booster pumps, in particular to a valve plate and a pump head structure. Background Art

[0002] Currently, water purifiers are often equipped with a booster pump, which primarily consists of a booster pump head and a drive motor. The booster pump head typically comprises, from bottom to top, a pump head seat, a valve plate, a piston rack, a piston, a piston valve seat, and a pump head cover. A valve plate is located between the piston and the piston rack. The booster pump operates by rotating an inclined eccentric cam driven by a motor, which in turn drives the piston rack and its pendulum wheel up and down. The valve plate elastically deforms as the pendulum wheel swings, causing the volume of the booster chamber to change, achieving the process of water intake and boosted drainage.

[0003] The water inlet and outlet parts of the existing booster pump mainly include a pump cover and a lower shell that are fixed to each other. A control body is arranged between the pump cover and the lower shell. The chamber is located in the control body. The drain port of the chamber is located in the middle of the control body. The water intake port of the chamber is located one circle outside the middle of the control body. A separation cylinder is provided on the pump cover. When the pump cover is fixed on the lower shell, the separation cylinder abuts against the control body. The space between the pump cover and the lower shell is divided into two parts by the separation cylinder. The one-way valve at the drain port is located in the separation cylinder. The middle part of the valve plate of the one-way valve is clamped and fixed on the control body. The drain port is closed by the valve plate. When the volume of the chamber is reduced, the outer edge of the valve plate rises under the water pressure, thereby opening the drain port and discharging water. However, the edge of the valve plate is warped and deformed during long-term use, affecting the sealing of the valve plate. Utility Model Content

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 4The present invention provides a valve disc, comprising a valve disc body 1 and a plurality of valve flaps 2, one end of each valve flap 2 being connected to the outer side wall of the valve disc body 1, and the plurality of valve flaps 2 being arranged at equal angles along the circumference of the valve disc body 1. A guide post 11 is provided on the bottom wall of the valve disc body 1, and a first rib 21 is provided on the bottom wall of the valve disc body 1 along the outer edge of the valve disc body 1. A second rib 12 is provided on the bottom wall of each valve flap 2 along the outer edge of the valve disc 2, and each second rib 12 is connected to two adjacent second ribs 12 on its left and right sides. The design of the first rib 21 and the second rib 12 improves the sealing between the valve disc and the diaphragm chamber 6. Even if the edge of the valve disc warps and deforms during long-term use, the first rib 21 and the second rib 12 can maintain a good sealing effect with the diaphragm chamber 6, thereby extending the service life of the valve disc.

[0031] Specifically, the number of valve flaps 2 is equal to the number of chambers in the booster pump. Each valve flap 2 can be opened and closed independently to achieve alternating drainage of the chamber. The valve flaps 2 are arranged at equal angles along the circumference of the valve body 1, making the force applied to the valve more uniform and improving the valve's impact resistance.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the number of the valve flaps 2 is the same as the number of the chambers, which is six. The six valve flaps 2 are evenly distributed on the outer peripheral side wall of the valve plate body 1 and are arranged at equal circumferential angles. One side of the valve flap 2 is fixed integrally with the valve plate body 1, and the other side extends in the radial direction of the valve plate body 1.

[0033] In some other embodiments, the number of the valve flaps 2 can also be five, seven, eight or other values, and the five, seven or eight valve flaps 2 are arranged at equal circumferential angles to form a five-chamber booster pump, a seven-chamber booster pump, an eight-chamber booster pump or a booster pump with another number of chambers.

[0034] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the valve body 1 and the bottom wall of the valve flap 2 are both planar walls, and the bottom wall of the valve body 1 is flush with the bottom walls of the plurality of valve flaps 2. When the valve is mounted in the diaphragm chamber 6, the bottom wall of the valve body 1 and the bottom wall of the valve flap 2 can be in close contact with the diaphragm chamber 6, forming a sealed connection.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the first rib 21 is flush with the bottom wall of the second rib 12. When the valve disc is installed in the diaphragm chamber 6, the bottom wall of the first rib 21 and the bottom wall of the second rib 12 can be tightly attached to the diaphragm chamber 6 to form a sealed connection.

[0036] Furthermore, the height of the first rib 21 and the height of the second rib 12 are both 0.1mm-0.3mm, which does not affect the function of the valve disc, but also compensates for deformation of the valve disc during long-term use, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the valve disc. In a specific embodiment, the thickness of the valve disc body 1 is 3.5mm, and the thickness of the first rib 21 and the second rib 12 is 0.2mm.

[0037] Furthermore, the top wall of the valve flap 2 is an inclined wall, and the inclined wall gradually slopes downward from the connection with the valve plate body 1, which is conducive to the deformation of the valve flap 2 when the booster pump is working.

[0038] Furthermore, a groove 13 is defined on the top wall of the valve disc body 1. Within the groove 13, an annular platform 131 and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 132 are disposed. One end of each reinforcing rib 132 is connected to the outer circumferential wall of the annular platform 131, and the other end is connected to the sidewall of the groove 13. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 132 are spaced at equal angles along the circumference of the annular platform 131. Because the valve disc body 1 is relatively thick, the groove 13 is provided on the valve disc body 1 to increase its resilience. The design of the reinforcing ribs 132 enhances the strength of the valve disc, providing it with both good strength and resilience.

[0039] Furthermore, the valve plate body 1 and the plurality of valve flaps 2 are an integral injection-molded structure. Specifically, the valve plate is injection-molded from a soft rubber material, and the entire valve plate is a whole, which has certain elastic deformation properties and better integrity.

[0040] Furthermore, a polygonal platform 111 is provided on the bottom wall of the valve disc body 1, and the polygonal platform 111 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the guide column 11. The polygonal platform 111 is used to be plugged into the diaphragm chamber 6 to prevent the valve disc from rotating accidentally.

[0041] Furthermore, an annular protrusion 112 is provided on the outer wall of the guide column 11 , and the annular protrusion 112 is located below the polygonal platform 111 . The annular protrusion 112 is used to abut against the diaphragm chamber 6 to limit the valve body 1 from moving away from the diaphragm chamber 6 .

[0042] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6The present invention also provides a pump head structure, including a valve disc, which includes a valve disc body 1 and a plurality of valve flaps 2. One end of each valve flap 2 is connected to the outer wall of the valve disc body 1. The plurality of valve flaps 2 are arranged at equal angles along the circumference of the valve disc body 1. A guide post 11 is provided on the bottom wall of the valve disc body 1. A first rib 21 is provided on the bottom wall of the valve disc body 1 along the outer edge of the valve disc body 1. A second rib 12 is provided on the bottom wall of each valve flap 2 along the outer edge of the valve disc 2. The left and right sides of each second rib 12 are connected to two adjacent second ribs 12. The design of the first rib 21 and the second rib 12 improves the sealing between the valve disc and the diaphragm chamber 6. Even if the edge of the valve disc warps and deforms during long-term use, the first rib 21 and the second rib 12 can maintain a good sealing effect with the diaphragm chamber 6, thereby improving the service life of the valve disc.

[0043] Furthermore, the pump head structure also includes a bracket 8, a piston rack 3, a diaphragm 4, a piston 5, a diaphragm chamber 6 and a pump head cover 7. A balance wheel 31 is provided on the piston 5. The pump head cover 7 is installed on the bracket 8 to form a mounting cavity. The diaphragm 4, the piston 5 and the diaphragm chamber 6 are all arranged in the mounting cavity. The diaphragm 4 is provided with a protruding structure on the side facing the bracket 8, and a third mounting hole is provided on the other side of the diaphragm 4 body. The third mounting hole passes through the protruding structure, and the piston 5 is penetrated into the third mounting hole from top to bottom. A fourth mounting hole is provided on the piston 5, and a screw is installed on the piston 5. The screw passes through the fourth mounting hole and is connected to the balance wheel 31.

[0044] Specifically, the diaphragm chamber 6 is sealed and connected to the pump head cover 7 to form a water outlet cavity in the middle and a water inlet cavity outside the water outlet cavity. The pump head cover 7 is provided with a water inlet pipe port and a water outlet pipe port. The water inlet pipe port is connected to the water inlet cavity, and the water outlet pipe port is connected to the water outlet cavity. The diaphragm chamber 6 is provided with a plurality of diaphragm cavities, and the diaphragm cavities are respectively provided with a water inlet valve. The water inlet valve is a one-way valve that can only conduct one-way from the water inlet cavity to the diaphragm cavity. The water outlet pipe port is connected to the water outlet cavity of the pump head cover 7. The valve plate is arranged at the center of the top of the diaphragm chamber 6. The valve plate is a one-way valve that conducts one-way from the diaphragm cavity located in the middle to the water outlet cavity. Each diaphragm cavity of the diaphragm chamber 6 is provided with a number of water inlet holes, and the water inlet valve covers the water inlet holes from the inside. The water inlet valve is made of soft rubber. When the piston 5 and the diaphragm 4 move downward under the drive of the motor, the water inlet valve opens, and the water at the water inlet pipe mouth is sucked into the diaphragm cavity through the water inlet cavity; the diaphragm chamber 6 is also provided with a number of drainage holes, and the valve plate covers the drainage holes from the outside. The valve plate is also made of soft rubber. When the piston 5 and the diaphragm 4 move upward under the drive of the motor, the water in the diaphragm cavity is pressurized and pressed out to the drainage hole, the valve plate opens, the water flows to the water outlet cavity, and the water flow pressurization is completed through the water outlet pipe mouth.

[0045] Specifically, the bracket 8 is provided with a first mounting hole, and the pump head cover 7 is provided with a second mounting hole. During installation, bolts are sequentially passed through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole to securely connect the pump head cover 7 to the bracket 8, thereby facilitating assembly of the booster pump and improving product installation efficiency.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the utility model.
