TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inflator pump discloses a cylinder piston structure of inflator pump. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a common device, the inflator pump is widely used in the fields of automobile tire inflation, inflatable mattress, inflatable toys and the like. The existing inflator pump usually adopts a reciprocating cylinder structure, and realizes the suction and discharge of gas through two one-way valves in different directions. In order to meet the requirements of convenience and miniaturization, the volume of the inflator pump is usually small, and most of the parts are processed by injection molding process.
[0003] In the existing inflator pump technology, one of the core components of the piston structure directly affects the performance and cost of the inflator pump. Figure 1 The common piston structure includes a crank gear, a connecting rod, a cylinder body, a V-shaped sealing ring and a piston rod. The piston rod and the cavity of the cylinder body realize reciprocating motion through sliding fit, and the V-shaped sealing ring is used to ensure the sealing between the piston part and the cylinder. However, due to the large number of components, the injection molding and assembly process is complicated, resulting in high production cost.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, it is urgent to provide a piston structure with simplified structure, low processing and assembly cost. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a cylinder piston structure of inflator pump.
[0006] The cylinder piston structure of inflator pump provided by the present application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0007] A cylinder piston structure of inflator pump, comprising a crank gear, a connecting rod and a cylinder body; one end of the connecting rod is eccentrically rotatably installed on the crank gear, and the side of the cylinder body close to the crank gear; the end of the connecting rod away from the crank gear is fixed with a piston part, and the side of the cylinder body close to the crank gear is provided with a sliding cavity in gap fit with the piston part; the piston part is provided with a V-shaped sealing ring on the circumferential side, and the circumferential side of the V-shaped sealing ring is in sliding sealing fit with the inner wall of the sliding cavity.
[0008] By adopting the technical scheme, the crank gear drives the connecting rod to rotate under the driving of the power source, and the connecting rod fixed at one end of the crank gear does the circular motion. The end of the connecting rod away from the crank gear is fixed with the piston part, and the piston part is driven by the crank gear to reciprocate in the sliding cavity of the cylinder body. The V-shaped sealing ring is installed on the periphery of the piston part. When the piston part reciprocates, the V-shaped sealing ring always slides sealingly with the inner wall of the sliding cavity, so that the compressed air cannot leak from the gap between the piston part and the sliding cavity, and the sealing performance and effectiveness of the compression process are ensured.
[0009] Preferably, a ring groove is coaxially arranged on the periphery of the piston part, and the V-shaped sealing ring comprises a supporting part embedded in the ring groove on the periphery of the piston part.
[0010] By adopting the technical scheme, the ring groove provides an accurate installation position for the V-shaped sealing ring. After the supporting part is embedded in the ring groove, the V-shaped sealing ring can effectively prevent axial or radial displacement during reciprocation in the sliding cavity, and the supporting part can maintain the stability of the sealing structure to avoid leakage caused by the displacement of the sealing ring.
[0011] Preferably, the V-shaped sealing ring further comprises a sealing part located on the periphery of the supporting part, and the sealing part abuts and seals against the inner side wall of the sliding cavity.
[0012] By adopting the technical scheme, the sealing part is located on the side of the supporting part away from the connecting rod, and one end of the sealing part abuts and seals against the side wall of the sliding cavity, so that when the piston part reciprocates in the sliding cavity, the abutment and sealing of the sealing part and the side wall of the sliding cavity can ensure the sealing performance of the high-pressure gas.
[0013] Preferably, a first sealing surface and a second sealing surface are arranged on the outer periphery of the sealing part, the first sealing surface is located at one end of the sealing part away from the connecting rod, the second sealing surface is located at one end of the sealing part close to the connecting rod, and the included angle between the first sealing surface and the central axis of the sealing part is smaller than the included angle between the second sealing surface and the central axis of the sealing part.
[0014] By adopting the technical scheme, when the piston reciprocates, the piston part will deform and swing due to the driving of the connecting rod. The different included angles of the first sealing surface and the second sealing surface can better adapt to the deformation and swing of the piston. The first sealing surface with a smaller included angle provides stable sealing when the piston normally moves, and the second sealing surface with a larger included angle can timely adjust the sealing state when the piston swings greatly, thereby reducing the influence of the deformation and swing of the piston on the sealing performance and further reducing the wear of the sealing part.
[0015] Preferably, the end of the connecting rod away from the crank gear is integrally formed with the piston part.
[0016] By adopting the technical scheme, the number of parts and assembly steps are reduced, the labor cost is lowered, and the performance instability caused by assembly errors is avoided.

[0018] By adopting the technical scheme, when the V-shaped sealing ring is installed, the V-shaped sealing ring can be expanded to have an inner diameter greater than the diameter of the second annular flange, and then the V-shaped sealing ring is sleeved in the axial direction of the piston part to reach the annular groove position. At this time, the V-shaped sealing ring restores to the original state due to its elasticity, and the supporting part of the V-shaped sealing ring is embedded in the annular groove. At the same time, due to the blocking of the first annular flange, the V-shaped sealing ring cannot be pulled out to the side close to the connecting rod, so that the stable installation of the V-shaped sealing ring in the annular groove is realized, and the sealing function of the V-shaped sealing ring during the movement of the piston part is ensured, and gas leakage is prevented.
[0019] Preferably, the second annular flange is detachably provided with a flange extension on the side.
[0020] By adopting the technical scheme, the flange extension and the second annular flange are connected by bolts. The detachable design not only facilitates the installation and maintenance of the V-shaped sealing ring, but also enables quick replacement when the sealing ring is worn or damaged, thereby improving the maintainability and service life of the structure.
[0021] Preferably, the piston part is provided with a first annular flange at the end close to the connecting rod, and the diameter of the first annular flange is greater than the maximum expansion diameter of the sealing ring; a third annular flange is mounted on the piston part, and the third annular flange is detachably mounted on the side of the piston part away from the connecting rod, and the annular groove is formed between the first annular flange and the third annular flange.
[0022] By adopting the technical scheme, the first annular flange and the third annular flange jointly constitute an annular groove, and the V-shaped sealing ring is stably installed therein. When the piston part reciprocates, the V-shaped sealing ring can normally play a sealing role, and gas leakage from the gap between the piston part and the sliding cavity is prevented. The detachable design of the third annular flange makes the installation and maintenance of the V-shaped sealing ring more convenient, and ensures the stable installation of the V-shaped sealing ring in the annular groove, preventing displacement or falling of the V-shaped sealing ring during the movement of the piston.

The piston part is provided with a V-shaped sealing ring on the side; when the piston part reciprocates, the V-shaped sealing ring always slides sealingly with the inner wall of the sliding cavity, ensuring that compressed air does not leak from the gap between the piston part and the sliding cavity, and ensuring the sealing and effectiveness of the compression process.
[0025] 2. The ring groove provides a precise installation position for the V-shaped sealing ring. After the support part is embedded in the ring groove, the V-shaped sealing ring can effectively prevent axial or radial displacement during reciprocation in the sliding cavity.
