[0040] The utility model will be described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help the person skilled in the art to further understand the utility model, but do not limit the utility model in any form. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the utility model, a number of changes and improvements can be made. These all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0041] Example One

[0042] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the utility model provides a valve for pump container, including annular mounting portion 12, elastic connecting portion 13 and valve piece portion 14, valve piece portion 14 is located in the annular middle part of annular mounting portion 12, and valve piece portion 14 is elastically connected with annular mounting portion 12 through elastic connecting portion 13. In the conventional state: annular mounting portion 12, elastic connecting portion 13 and valve piece portion 14 are all located in the same plane. In the top open state: when valve piece portion 14 is opened upward 2mm, the elastic force range of elastic connecting portion 13 is 0.5N to 1.2N, and the corresponding pressure is 0.018MPa to 0.042MPa.

[0043] The valve 10 of the application is circular in overall shape. The annular mounting portion 12 is circular, serving as the mounting basis for the elastic connecting portion 13 and the valve piece portion 14, and is also the annular mounting portion 12 piece of the valve 10, which can be installed in place through the annular mounting portion 12. The valve piece portion 14 opens or closes the outlet of the closed container body 9. The elastic connecting portion 13 connects the annular mounting portion 12 and the valve piece portion 14, providing the valve 10 with a force to restore deformation. The material of the elastic connecting portion 13 itself has a certain elasticity. By selecting the elastic material of the elastic connecting portion 13, when the valve piece portion 14 is opened upward 2mm, the elastic force range of the elastic connecting portion 13 is 0.5N to 1.2N, and the corresponding pressure is 0.018MPa to 0.042MPa. The cross section of the elastic connecting portion 13 is circular, which reduces the turbulence of the fluid, reduces the resistance of the fluid, reduces the power required to drive the fluid flow, thereby reducing the pressing force, making it easier for the user to use the vacuum pump to extrude the paste.

[0044] Further, the edges of the valve 10 in contact with the paste are circular. The elastic connecting part 13 comprises a first connecting section, a second connecting section and a circular arc connecting section, one end of the first connecting section is connected with the inner wall of the annular mounting part 12, one end of the second connecting section is connected with the outer wall of the valve piece part 14, one end of the circular arc connecting section is connected with the other end of the first connecting section, and the other end of the circular arc connecting section is connected with the other end of the second connecting section. The arc shape of the circular arc connecting section, the arc shape of the inner wall of the annular mounting part 12 and the arc shape of the outer wall of the valve piece part 14 are the same. The first connecting section and the circular arc connecting section, and the second connecting section and the circular arc connecting section are connected through a circular arc corner. The cross sections of the first connecting section, the second connecting section, the circular arc connecting section and the circular arc corner are circular.

[0045] Further, the application provides a preferred structure of the valve 10: three elastic connecting parts 13 are arranged between the annular mounting part 12 and the valve piece part 14, and the three elastic connecting parts 13 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the inner wall of the annular mounting part 12.

[0046] It should be noted that the structure of the valve 10 of the application can be used in a single valve pump structure, or can be used as an upper valve and / or a lower valve in a double valve pump structure.

[0047] Example Two

[0048] Based on the first embodiment, the utility model also provides a pump container, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 as shown, further comprising a closed container body 9, a shoulder sleeve 1, a movable pressure head 2, a paste outlet pipe 3, an upper piston 4 and a lower piston 11. The valve 10 is installed at the outlet of the closed container body 9, the lower piston 11 is movably arranged at the bottom of the closed container body 9, the valve 10 and the upper piston 4 form a storage bin 6, and the valve 10 controls the communication or closing of the storage bin 6 and the closed container body 9. The movable pressure head 2 and the paste outlet pipe 3 are arranged in the shoulder sleeve 1, the paste outlet pipe 3 is hinged to the movable pressure head 2, the upper piston 4 is connected to the paste inlet end of the paste outlet pipe 3, the internal passage of the upper piston 4 is communicated with the paste outlet passage of the paste outlet pipe 3, the elastic device 5 is arranged between the movable pressure head 2 and the upper piston 4, the internal passage in the upper piston 4 is communicated with the storage bin 6 through the communication hole 7, and the upper valve 8 arranged in the internal passage of the upper piston 4 controls the opening or closing of the communication hole 7.

[0049] It should be noted that: the fluid with high viscosity, such as toothpaste, when extruded by using pump structure, due to the high viscosity of the paste, a greater pressure is needed to make the paste flow, and extrude from the outlet pipe. And due to the poor flow of the paste, leading to the jet of the paste, the small channel of the paste, the high driving jet pressure of the paste flow, the higher the speed of the jet, the more air mixed in the toothpaste, so that the toothpaste adds a lot of air, leading to the rupture of the paste, affecting the hand feeling and visual effect of the toothpaste extrusion.

[0050] The technical scheme of the present application The upward edges of the components through which the paste passes are all provided with round corners, so as to suppress the turbulent flow of the paste and realize laminar flow, thereby reducing the resistance and the pressing force, and achieving the effect of easy pressing. Further, the present application also enlarges the cross-sectional area of the channel, further reducing the flow resistance of the paste when passing through the channel.

[0051] It should be further explained that: the paste with high viscosity has the following characteristics when flowing: 1. Rotational nature of movement; 2. Mechanical energy loss; 3. Vorticity diffusion; 4. Flow instability.

[0052] The work done on the unit mass force with respect to the paste does not all convert into functional increment, part of which is the work done by viscous force on deformation, which is converted into heat energy, which is lost as mechanical energy. As for the work done by viscous force on flow, it makes the mechanical energy transfer from one layer to another. When the fluid moves, due to the effect of viscosity, a part of the energy is consumed to overcome the viscous resistance, causing energy dissipation. The conventional upper valve 8 has many sharp edges due to the injection molding parts, which can easily produce boundary jet when the paste flows. The boundary jet and the surrounding fluid interpenetrate each other, and the momentum transfer occurs between the fluid masses, forming a free shear layer, and at the same time, the surrounding fluid is continuously rolled into this shear layer, so the width of the jet body increases continuously, and the flow rate of the jet body increases continuously, but the momentum of the jet does not change.

[0053] On the sharp trailing edge of the flow body, the developed boundary layer on the upper and lower surfaces converges into one at the trailing edge and flows downstream to form a wake. Due to the momentum exchange between fluid particles, the minimum velocity of the fluid increases with the flow downstream, and the wake also widens, resulting in the averaging of the velocity. On the trailing edge of the angular blunt body, the fluid and the dead water area behind the blunt body are mutually entrained, forming unstable turbulent vortex. These factors together greatly increase the frictional resistance of the paste. The upward edges of the components through which the paste passes are all provided with round corners, so that the high-viscosity paste only produces a circular end-blunt-body laminar wake when flowing through the internal channel of the upper piston 4, so that the paste only produces a free jet, thereby realizing the uniform flow of the high-viscosity paste, and the proportion of turbulent flow is significantly reduced, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the paste, thereby reducing the pressing force and improving the comfort of use.

[0054] The valve piece 14 opens or closes the outlet of the closed container body 9, and is provided with a sealing ring matched with the outlet of the closed container body 9. The outer periphery of the annular mounting portion 12 is provided with an embedded flange, and the outlet of the closed container body 9 is formed with an embedded groove, and the embedded flange is embeddedly mounted in the embedded groove.

[0055] The structure of the upper valve 8 can be the same as or different from that of the valve 10, and the edges of the parts in the upper piston 4 that are in contact with the paste are all rounded. The materials of the valve 10 and the upper valve 8 are both elastic. The present application provides an upper valve 8 structure different from the structure of the valve 10 in Embodiment I:

[0056] The valve body portion 83 is connected with the paste outlet pipe 3 in sequence, and has an axial through hole. The upward edges of the elastic portion 82 and the valve body portion 83 are both rounded.

The arc-shaped connecting segment 822 is located in the same plane as the valve body portion 83, and one end of the arc-shaped connecting segment 822 is connected with the edge of the valve body portion 83. The length direction of the straight connecting segment 821 is parallel to the axial direction of the upper valve 8, one end of the straight connecting segment 821 is connected with the edge of the pressure bearing portion 81, and the other end of the straight connecting segment 821 is connected with the other end of the arc-shaped connecting segment 822. The straight connecting segment 821 and the arc-shaped connecting segment 822 are both spaced apart from each other in multiple groups between the pressure bearing portion 81 and the valve body portion 83. The present application preferably equally spaces three groups of the straight connecting segment 821 and the arc-shaped connecting segment 822 between the pressure bearing portion 81 and the valve body portion 83. By rounding the upward edges of the elastic portion 82 and the valve body portion 83, the turbulent flow of the paste with high viscosity through the internal passage of the upper piston 4 can be inhibited, which helps to reduce the pressing force.

The elastic part 82 comprises a helical connecting segment 823. One end of the helical connecting segment 823 is connected with the edge of the pressure bearing part 81, and the other end of the helical connecting segment 823 is connected with the edge of the valve body part 83. A plurality of helical connecting segments 823 are arranged at intervals between the pressure bearing part 81 and the valve body part 83.

By setting the upward edges of both the elastic part 82 and the valve body part 83 as rounded corners, the turbulent flow of the high-viscosity paste through the internal passage of the upper piston 4 can be inhibited, which helps to reduce the pressing force. Further, the edge of the valve body part 83 is provided with auxiliary protrusions, and the auxiliary protrusions are arranged at intervals on the edge of the valve body part 83. The upward edge of any auxiliary protrusion is set as a rounded corner.
