[0002] The existing check valve of each manufacturer infusion pump usually uses springless check valve, which mainly relies on the self-weight of the ball in the check valve to complete closing, and relies on the flow of liquid to push open the ball to complete opening and closing action, thereby realizing the function of one-way flow. For example, CN218439704U, a check valve structure capable of realizing automatic liquid suction of infusion pump. However, the scope of application of the infusion pump is wider, and it cannot meet some special use scenarios. At present, the main application scenarios of this structure are summarized as follows: 1. When the customer uses the infusion pump, if the liquid in the pump head is completely emptied for a long time, the customer needs to use other power sources to suck the mobile phase into the pump head when the pump head cavity is filled with the mobile phase again. Such use conditions are not convenient for customers to use; 2. The motor used on the infusion pump is generally a stepper motor, which may cause resonance of the infusion pump together with the motor at certain speed, so that the opening and closing action of the check valve is not ideal during continuous infusion of the infusion pump, and the flow rate is small; 3. When the viscosity of the mobile phase of the infusion pump is large (higher than 20 cp), the closing speed of the ball of the conventional check valve is also not timely, so that the flow rate of the infusion pump is small.

[0003] For the above-mentioned pain points, the structure of the product needs to be improved, so that the infusion pump can be used in more scenarios, and the convenience and fault tolerance of use are increased. INVENTION CONTENTS
