The plunger body is an important component for the normal operation of the diaphragm pump, and its function is to transmit power. However, existing diaphragm pumps have the following problems during use: ① The existing structure causes stress concentration at the smallest journal of the plunger body, making the plunger body prone to breakage when transmitting torque. In actual use, it has been found that multiple breakages can occur within one year; ② There are many parts at the connection points, the installation cavity volume is small, the connection method is complicated, and disassembly, replacement and installation are difficult.

[0003] See Figure 1 The existing plunger rod has a plunger locking plate 33', a plunger anti-loosening nut 34', a plunger anti-tightening nut 35', and a plunger 36' installed on its mounting end to connect with the slide rod. Once the plunger anti-loosening nut 35 and the plunger locking nut 34 loosen, the plunger rod (11.1 mm) will be subjected to radial shear force. This shear force will repeatedly act at the minimum point of the plunger rod journal (6.9 mm) until the plunger rod journal breaks at the minimum point.

[0029] Technical means not detailed in this application and not used to solve the technical problems of this application are all set according to common general knowledge in the field, and multiple common general knowledge setting methods can be implemented.

[0030] See Figures 2-4The diaphragm pump provided in this application includes, installed within a housing: an integral plunger rod, a motor 1, a coupling 3, a worm gear 7, a diaphragm 47, a cylinder liner 42, a connecting rod 20, an eccentric block 21, a worm wheel 23, and a slide rod 29; the motor 1, coupling 3, worm gear 7, connecting rod 20, eccentric block 21, and worm wheel 23 are housed within the drive cavity of the housing; the diaphragm 47, integral plunger rod, and cylinder liner 42 are housed within the solution extrusion cavity of the housing; the solution extrusion cavity of the housing is located within the drive cavity of the housing. The moving chamber is connected to the drive chamber of the housing on one side; the motor 1 is driven by the worm gear 7 via the coupling 3; an eccentric block 21 is sleeved on the lower part of the worm gear 7; a connecting rod 20 is sleeved on the eccentric block 21; a slide rod 29 is connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 20; the slide rod 29 is configured to move longitudinally back and forth within the housing, and the extended end of the slide rod 29 is connected to an integrated plunger rod; the integrated plunger rod is housed within the contraction chamber, and the extended end of the integrated plunger rod is driven by the diaphragm 47, with a plunger 36 on the other end. The motor 1 drives the integrated plunger rod to move longitudinally back and forth within the contraction chamber of the housing via the aforementioned drive assembly, thereby driving the diaphragm 47 to repeatedly compress the solution chamber within the contraction chamber, achieving continuous intake and discharge of the medium. All components not detailed in this plunger pump are configured and operated according to existing structures in the art, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0031] One end of the integrated plunger rod is inserted into the slide rod 29, thereby avoiding the use of plunger locking plates, plunger anti-loosening nuts, and plunger anti-tightening nuts, and preventing breakage caused by uneven local stress.

[0032] The integrated plunger rod includes: a rod body 361, a retaining ring 362, a first locking pin 363, and a second locking pin 364; one end of the rod body 361 is connected to the center of the end face of the plunger 36; the other end of the rod body 361 is provided with a retaining ring 362, a first locking pin 363, and a second locking pin 364; the extended end of the slide rod 29 is recessed to form a mounting hole; a locking groove 367, a locking platform 365, and a locking hole 366 are respectively provided in the mounting hole extending from the end of the mounting hole to the bottom of the hole; the periphery of the retaining ring 362 of the integrated plunger rod is locked in the locking groove 367; the first locking pin 363 of the integrated plunger rod is locked in the locking platform 365; the second locking pin 364 is inserted into the locking hole 366; in order to achieve installation, the slide rod 29 can be a two-half symmetrical rod structure, which is fixedly connected by screws.

[0033] The integrated plunger rod structure eliminates stress concentration caused by journal changes, improves the overall shear strength of the plunger rod, and solves the problem of easy shaft breakage.
