[0039] refer to Figure 1-4 This application discloses a silent airbag pump, comprising:

[0040] Pump head 1 includes an inlet channel 2 and an outlet channel 3. A check valve is provided inside the pump head 1, and the check valve is connected to the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3.

[0041] Pump body 4 includes two compression chambers 5, which are located on both sides of pump head 1, including liquid phase working chamber 6 and gas phase working chamber 7.

[0042] The air bag 8 is set inside the compression chamber 5. One end of the air bag 8 is connected to the end of the compression chamber 5 away from the pump head 1, and the other end is closed. The interior is hollow to form a gas phase working chamber 7.

[0043] The gas phase working chamber 7 is provided with an air inlet 9 and an air outlet 10 at its end. The air inlet 9 and the air outlet 10 are respectively connected to the first air pipe connector 11 and the second air pipe connector 12.

[0044] The second air pipe connector 12 is connected to the air outlet 10 at one end and is provided with a silencer 13. The silencer 13 includes a flow guide 14 and a sound absorber 15 connected in sequence. The inner surface of the flow guide 14 is provided with a plurality of flow guide grooves 16. The flow guide grooves 16 are distributed along the circumference of the flow guide 14 and extend in the direction of airflow. The sound absorber 15 is provided with sound absorber holes 18 on at least part of its inner surface.

[0045] As a specific implementation, the cross-section of the flow guide groove 16 can be V-shaped or semi-elliptical, which can reduce the flow loss of airflow, while providing good airflow guidance and improving the discharge rate of airflow in the flow guide 14.

[0046] Specifically, it also includes an air valve 28, which is located outside the pump body 4. The first air pipe connector 11 and the second air pipe connector 12 are both connected to the air valve 28 through pipes. The air valve 28 controls the entry and exit of gas in the pump body 4 and provides operating power for the airbag pump.

[0047] In one embodiment, the flow guide 14 is provided at one end of the silencer 13 near the gas phase working chamber 7, and the radius of the flow guide 14 gradually increases from one end near the gas phase working chamber 7 to the other end.

[0048] The flow guide section 14 adopts a gradually expanding flow channel design. The gradually increasing radius significantly reduces the airflow speed, avoiding the narrow tube effect at the exhaust port when the gas in the gas phase working chamber 7 is discharged, which can greatly reduce the noise generated therefrom.

[0049] In one embodiment, the total projected area of ​​the flow guide groove 16 is not less than 1 / 4 of the projected area of ​​the inner surface of the flow guide portion 14.

[0050] The large projected area of ​​the flow guide groove 16 inside the flow guide section 14 not only effectively guides the airflow, but also effectively expands the diameter of the flow guide section 14, forming a stepped diameter change, further reducing the airflow velocity and turbulence loss. This reduces the noise of the airbag pump while preventing gas stagnation, allowing the airflow to be discharged as quickly as possible along the axial direction of the flow guide section 14 without affecting the efficiency of the airbag pump.

[0051] In one embodiment, the sound-absorbing part 15 includes an inner layer 17, a middle layer 19 and an outer layer 20, and the sound-absorbing hole 18 is disposed in the inner layer 17.

[0052] In one specific implementation, the inner layer 17 and the intermediate layer 19 are bonded together, and the bonding is a discontinuous application of adhesive.

[0053] The inner layer 17 and the middle layer 19 are bonded together by discontinuous adhesive application, forming a certain gap between the two layers. The sound-absorbing hole 18 and the gap between the two layers together constitute a Helmholtz resonant cavity, which effectively absorbs and reduces airflow noise.

[0054] In one embodiment, the middle layer 19 of the sound-absorbing part 15 is one to three layers of sound-absorbing material, which is selected from one or more of sound-absorbing foam, sound-absorbing cotton or sound-absorbing glass wool.

[0055] The sound-absorbing material can further reduce and absorb noise passing through the sound-absorbing holes 18, thereby improving the noise reduction rate. Sound-absorbing cotton is preferred, as it not only has good sound insulation but also strong chemical stability, is fire-resistant and moisture-resistant, and can be used as the outermost layer 20 sound insulation material.

[0056] In one embodiment, the outer layer 20 of the sound-absorbing part 15 is a smooth, hard material, and a plurality of elastic strips 21 are embedded on the surface of the outer layer 20 away from the middle layer 19.

[0057] In one specific implementation, the outer layer 20 of the sound-absorbing part 15 and the flow guide part 14 are integrally formed to constitute the outer shell of the muffler 13. This structure can ensure the integrity and sealing of the muffler 13.

[0058] In one embodiment, the elastic strip 21 is distributed along the axial direction of the sound-absorbing part 15, and the surface of the elastic strip 21 is 0.3 to 1 mm higher than the surface of the outer layer 20.

[0059] As one implementation, the material of the elastic strip 21 is selected from EVA, PU, ​​TPU and rubber.

[0060] The outer layer 20 of the sound-absorbing part 15 is a smooth, hard material, such as PPS, PP, or PTFE. When the sound-absorbing material in the middle layer of the sound-absorbing part 15 ages and its noise reduction ability decreases, the entire muffler 13 can be replaced. The elastic strips 21 distributed around the sound-absorbing part 15 can seal the muffler 13 and the airbag pump body 4 when they are in contact, preventing gas leakage and affecting the airbag pump's delivery capacity.

[0061] In one embodiment, the liquid inlet channel 2 and the liquid outlet channel 3 are respectively connected to the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe 23. A flow stabilizing pipe section 24 is provided between the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid inlet channel 2. The flow stabilizing pipe section 24 is detachably connected to the pump head 1. An elastic interlayer is provided between the flow stabilizing pipe section 24 and the water inlet pipe.

[0062] Through the aforementioned components, the flow stabilizing pipe section 24 stabilizes the inlet pipe, preventing further vibration caused by the unstable liquid flow inside the pipe, which would exacerbate the noise generated by the unstable fluid in the air bag pump. This reduces the noise generated by the liquid flow at the inlet. At the same time, the stable liquid flow also reduces the occurrence of cavitation and liquid erosion, reduces fatigue damage to the air bag 8, and extends the service life of the air bag 8.

[0063] In one embodiment, the system also includes a base, which includes a plurality of support columns 25, support seats 26 and a base plate 27 arranged from top to bottom. The support columns 25 are used to support the pump body 4. The support columns 25 and the support seats 26 are both made of an alloy covered with a polymer material. An elastic interlayer is provided between the support seats 26 and the base plate 27.

[0064] Specifically, the material of the elastic interlayer includes one of EVA, PU, ​​TPU and rubber.

[0065] The polymer material covers the alloy body, ensuring that the body will not be corroded due to accidental corrosion of the pump body 4. This increases the overall weight of the base, lowers the center of gravity of the airbag pump, thereby reducing the pump's violent vibration and thus reducing the noise caused by the vibration.

[0066] The working principle of the airbag pump is as follows: the air valve 28 controls the entry and exit of gas in the airbag pump. At one end of the airbag pump, the gas phase working chamber 7 is expanded by the intake of gas, and the volume of the liquid phase working chamber 6 decreases. The liquid outlet check valve at this end opens and the liquid inlet check valve closes, and the liquid is pumped out through the liquid outlet channel 3. At the other end, the gas phase working chamber 7 is contracted by the exhaust of gas, and the liquid phase working chamber 6 is expanded. The liquid inlet check valve at this end opens and the liquid outlet check valve closes, and the liquid is pumped in, thus realizing liquid delivery.

[0067] In the above process, the silencer 13 regulates and absorbs the flow rate and noise of the gas phase working chamber 7, reducing the noise generated by the gas whistling; at the same time, it works in conjunction with the flow stabilizing pipe section 24 and the weighted support 26 to reduce the noise generated by the turbulence and vibration of the air bag pump, and greatly improve the working environment of the air bag pump workshop.

[0068] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments. In particular, the system embodiments are basically similar to the method embodiments, so the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the descriptions in the method embodiments.

[0069] The above are merely embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
