Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water pumps, and in particular to a diaphragm pump. Background Technology
[0002] A diaphragm pump changes the volume of the pump chamber through the reciprocating motion of a diaphragm, thereby enabling the intake and discharge of fluid. Commonly used in small household appliances, it typically includes a pump body, a diaphragm, and a drive assembly. During operation, when the diaphragm moves backward, the volume of the pump chamber increases, creating negative pressure. The inlet check valve opens, and fluid is drawn into the pump chamber. When the diaphragm moves forward, the volume of the pump chamber decreases, the pressure increases, the outlet check valve opens, and fluid is discharged. Through the continuous reciprocating motion of the diaphragm, fluid is continuously transported from the inlet to the outlet. The drive assembly includes a motor, an eccentric wheel, and a transmission component. The eccentric wheel and motor drive shaft are eccentrically connected. The transmission component connects the eccentric wheel and the diaphragm. The motor drives the eccentric wheel to move eccentrically, which in turn drives the transmission component to move the diaphragm back and forth. However, in current technology, the diaphragm is connected to the transmission component using bolts or clamps, making assembly inconvenient and affecting product cost. Different types of drive assemblies often require redesigning and manufacturing the diaphragm, limiting its applicability. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a diaphragm pump with a wider range of applications and reduced production costs.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a diaphragm pump, including a diaphragm assembly and a drive assembly. The diaphragm assembly includes a diaphragm member, and the drive assembly includes a drive member for forming a transmission connection with the diaphragm member. The diaphragm member includes a plurality of downwardly extending connecting portions, which are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the diaphragm member. Each connecting portion is provided with a limiting groove. The drive member includes a plurality of ears, which extend radially and correspond one-to-one with the positions of the connecting portions. Each ear is provided with a hole through which the connecting portions pass, and the ear can be locked into the limiting groove for positioning.
[0005] The advantages of the above technical solution are as follows: By setting a connecting part with a limiting groove on the diaphragm component and setting several ears with holes on the transmission component, positioning can be achieved through the ferrule cooperation between the connecting part and the ears. This gives the diaphragm component better compatibility. This connection structure can be used to achieve effective transmission between the diaphragm component and the drive component when using different drive components, further expanding the application range of the diaphragm pump and meeting the different user needs for drive method selection. The connection method between the diaphragm component and the transmission component is simple to operate. During the assembly process, workers can quickly align and install the connecting part and the ears without using special tools or performing cumbersome operations, which greatly improves assembly efficiency, reduces labor costs and assembly time, and thus reduces the overall production cost.
[0006] The present invention can be further configured such that: the connecting part is integrally disposed on the diaphragm component, the connecting part includes an upper part that is connected to the diaphragm component and is in the shape of a frustum and a protrusion disposed at intervals on the upper part, the upper part is connected to the diaphragm component, and the limiting groove is formed by the upper part and the protrusion at intervals.
[0007] By further designing the protrusion and the upper part to form a limiting groove, a specific positioning and clamping method is provided for the lug of the transmission component. This structure can be adapted to various transmission component lugs of different shapes and sizes. As long as the lug can cooperate with the limiting groove, a connection can be achieved. Therefore, in the design and manufacturing of diaphragm pumps, the same diaphragm component can be used with different transmission components to meet the application scenarios of different driving methods and different power requirements, thereby improving the versatility of diaphragm pumps and expanding their application range.
[0008] The present invention can be further configured such that: the connecting part includes a lower part connected below the protrusion, and the lower part is provided in a gradually decreasing cone shape.
[0009] With further design, the gradually tapering lower structure is simple and the connection with other components is relatively convenient. During the maintenance and repair of the diaphragm pump, it can facilitate disassembly and installation, and make it easy to quickly inspect, repair or replace the diaphragm components and connecting parts.
[0010] The present invention can be further configured such that the ear portion surrounding the hole has an arc-shaped guiding surface.
[0011] With further design, the presence of the arc-shaped guide surface makes the ear part more compatible with the connection parts of different dimensional tolerances. As long as the size of the connection part fluctuates within a certain range, the arc-shaped guide surface can guide it to be smoothly inserted into the hole and achieve effective connection. This makes it easier for the diaphragm pump to adapt to the parts provided by different suppliers, or to replace the diaphragm parts of different specifications more conveniently when upgrading and improving the product, further expanding its application range.
[0012] The present invention can be further configured such that a reinforcing rib is provided between the transmission component and the ear.
[0013] By further designing the reinforcing ribs, the connection strength between the transmission components and the lugs can be enhanced, enabling the diaphragm pump to withstand greater pressure and impact during operation. Especially during the frequent reciprocating motion of the diaphragm pump, the connection between the transmission components and the lugs is prone to fatigue damage. The presence of reinforcing ribs can disperse stress, reduce fatigue accumulation at the connection points, and extend the service life of the diaphragm pump.
[0014] The present invention can be further configured such that: the drive assembly includes a first eccentric wheel and a bearing, the lower end of the first eccentric wheel is eccentrically connected to the output shaft of the motor, the upper end of the first eccentric wheel is inserted into the inner hole of the bearing, and an installation groove is provided below the transmission component, and the bearing is inserted into the installation groove.
[0015] By further designing the first eccentric wheel to be eccentrically connected to the motor output shaft, the rotational motion of the motor can be converted into the eccentric motion of the eccentric wheel, which is then transmitted to the diaphragm via bearings and transmission components, realizing the reciprocating motion of the diaphragm. On this basis, the transmission components and the first eccentric wheel are connected by bearings. The uniform rotation of the eccentric wheel is transmitted to the transmission components and then to the diaphragm via the bearings, reducing vibration and impact during the movement. This makes the diaphragm pump suitable for applications with high requirements for flow stability.
[0016] The present invention can be further configured such that: the drive assembly includes a second eccentric wheel and a connecting rod, the lower end of the second eccentric wheel is eccentrically connected to the output shaft of the motor, a slot is provided below the transmission component, and the two ends of the connecting rod are respectively inserted into the second eccentric wheel and the slot.
[0017] With further configuration, the second eccentric wheel is eccentrically connected to the motor output shaft. By changing the eccentricity of the eccentric wheel, the stroke of the diaphragm pump can be easily adjusted. This allows the diaphragm pump to flexibly adjust the flow rate according to different working requirements, and the connecting rod method can also better adapt to complex installation environments.
