Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of micro water pump technology, specifically to a micro water pump umbrella anti-sticking structure. Background Technology
[0002] Miniature water pumps, as core components for fluid transport, are widely used in household appliances, medical equipment, and industrial automation. Among them, umbrella-type miniature water pumps, due to their compact structure and strong self-priming performance, are of significant value in scenarios such as agricultural irrigation and car washing.
[0003] Existing micro water pumps often employ a planar sealing design for their umbrella-like structure and bottom cover, resulting in a large contact area (typically exceeding 70%). This leads to the formation of an adhesion layer of residual media at the interface. Experiments show that after 72 hours of static storage in an environment with humidity >60%, the starting resistance torque of conventional structures increases by more than 200%, severely restricting equipment reliability. Traditional sealing structures rely on the deformation compensation of a single elastomer (such as silicone gaskets). Under temperature variations from -20℃ to 80℃, differences in the linear expansion coefficients of the materials cause micron-level gaps on the sealing surface, resulting in leakage rates of up to 0.8 ml / min. Straight-through outlet channel designs experience excessive pressure loss when the flow rate requirement is >50 ml / min. Some umbrella valve structures suffer from insufficient guide groove depth (<0.2 mm), leading to eddy current losses and an actual efficiency of only 65%-72%, increasing energy consumption. Existing seals have stringent tolerance requirements for fit with the pump body (gap ≤0.02 mm), resulting in a low assembly qualification rate. Furthermore, component wear cannot be self-compensated after long-term use.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a micro water pump umbrella anti-sticking structure. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a micro water pump umbrella anti-stick structure, which has the advantages of achieving low adhesion and high reliability, and overcomes the defects of existing technologies mentioned in the background art.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a micro water pump umbrella anti-stick structure, including a base, a motor, a steel shaft, a fork shaft, a pump body, an umbrella, and a cover bottom;
[0007] The motor has a torsion shaft on its output shaft, and the steel shaft is connected to the top of the torsion shaft. The fork shaft is driven to swing up and down by the steel shaft.
[0008] The pump body is located between the base and the bottom of the cover. The top of the pump body is equipped with an umbrella, and the side of the umbrella is equipped with an anti-stick sealing ring. The width of the anti-stick sealing ring is 0.1-1mm and the height is 0.05-1mm.
[0009] The bottom of the cover has a groove corresponding to the position of the umbrella. The groove and the anti-stick sealing ring form a radial gap with a radial distance of 0.05-0.5mm.
[0010] Preferably, the anti-stick sealing ring is made of silicone or fluororubber material, and its cross-section is U-shaped, forming a labyrinth-like sealing channel with the groove.
[0011] Preferably, the pump body is connected to the gasket via an air chamber, and the gasket is provided with a one-way water outlet. When the pump body is stretched, it forms a negative pressure at the umbrella to draw in water, and when it is compressed, it discharges the water through the gasket.
[0012] Preferably, the motor drives the drive shaft via an eccentric wheel, the drive shaft is connected to a crank, the crank drives the fork shaft to reciprocate, and the swing angle of the fork shaft is 30-60°.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the groove is provided with a guide channel, and the guide channel is connected to the water outlet channel, and the depth of the guide channel is 0.2-0.8mm.
[0014] Preferably, the contact surface between the anti-stick sealing ring and the groove is provided with a nano-hydrophobic coating, and the contact angle is greater than 120°.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This miniature water pump's umbrella-like anti-stick structure utilizes a radial gap formed by an annular anti-stick sealing ring on the side of the umbrella and a groove at the bottom of the cover. In the non-working state, this creates a physical isolation layer, preventing interface adhesion caused by residual media and ensuring the pump can still start normally after long-term storage. The U-shaped anti-stick sealing ring, combined with the labyrinthine groove, ensures sealing while allowing for minor deformation compensation, adapting to temperature variations from -20℃ to 80℃. This effectively solves the leakage problem caused by thermal expansion and contraction in traditional planar seals. The coordinated design of the fork shaft swing mechanism and spring damping device controls mechanical vibration amplitude to the micrometer level, reducing the risk of component fatigue damage and significantly extending the service life of key moving parts of the pump. The gradient design of the guide channel and outlet channel, combined with the one-way valve assembly, forms a highly efficient fluid dynamic circulation, increasing the water delivery per unit time while ensuring sealing and reducing energy loss. The elastic material properties of the anti-stick sealing ring, combined with the positioning structure of the groove, ensure self-positioning accuracy during assembly and compensate for component deformation caused by long-term use, improving product consistency.
