Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diaphragm pump technology, and in particular to a fluid chamber structure for a diaphragm pump. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, diaphragm pumps are mainly used in reverse osmosis systems or other systems that require pressurization. Generally, when a pressurization system reaches a certain pressure, the diaphragm pump needs to be powered off, and the system pressure needs to be maintained within a certain range. When restarting, the pressure is released (e.g., the outlet valve is opened), and the diaphragm pump restarts pressurization.
[0003] Currently, in order to ensure system pressure, the industry often needs to add a one-way check valve to the system. This one-way check valve is separate from the diaphragm pump, which makes the system layout more complicated. Utility Model Content

[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, a clear and complete description will be provided below in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are exemplary embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0061] This embodiment provides a fluid chamber structure for a diaphragm pump, including a fluid chamber body 100 and a check valve structure 200 disposed within the fluid chamber body 100;
[0062] The fluid chamber body 100 has: an inlet 101; an outlet 102; a buffer chamber 103 that is connected to the high-pressure chamber of the diaphragm pump and the outlet 102 respectively; and a high-pressure outlet hole 104 for connecting the high-pressure chamber of the diaphragm pump and the buffer chamber 103.
[0063] The check valve structure 200 includes: a check valve seat 201 located in the buffer chamber 103; and a check valve 202 that is movably fitted onto the check valve seat 201 and can move relative to the check valve seat 201 between a first position and a second position.
[0064] In the first position, the check valve 202 closes the high-pressure outlet 104; in the second position, the check valve 202 disengages from the high-pressure outlet 104, and the high-pressure chamber of the diaphragm pump is connected to the buffer chamber 103 through the high-pressure outlet 104.
[0065] Thus, when outlet 102 is closed, the system cuts off power to the diaphragm pump, and the diaphragm pump no longer pressurizes. Check valve 202 moves to the first position, closing the high-pressure outlet 104, preventing water from flowing back into the high-pressure chamber from the buffer chamber 103 and outlet 102, thus achieving backflow prevention and pressure maintenance. Furthermore, integrating the check valve 200 onto the diaphragm pump reduces the number of one-way valves in the system, lowers system complexity, and helps reduce system costs.
[0066] The technical solution of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0067] like Figure 1 The example fluid chamber structure for a diaphragm pump includes a fluid chamber body 100 and a check valve 200 disposed within the fluid chamber body 100.
[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the fluid chamber body 100 has:
[0069] Inlet 101 serves as the inlet of the diaphragm pump and is connected to the low-pressure chamber of the diaphragm pump. It is a conventional or existing technology in the field of diaphragm pump technology and will not be described in detail.
[0070] The outlet 102 serves as the outlet of the diaphragm pump and is used to connect to external water-using equipment. It is a conventional or existing technology in the field of diaphragm pump technology and will not be described in detail.
[0071] The buffer chamber 103 is connected to the high-pressure chamber and the outlet 102 of the diaphragm pump, respectively.
[0072] The high-pressure outlet 104 is used to connect the high-pressure chamber and the buffer chamber 103 of the diaphragm pump. The fluid in the high-pressure chamber of the diaphragm pump enters the buffer chamber 103 after passing through the high-pressure outlet 104. After being buffered by the buffer chamber 103, the fluid is discharged through the outlet 102.
[0073] In some practical applications, the fluid chamber body 100 has an opening at one end opposite to the high-pressure water outlet 104 (i.e., the buffer chamber is open at both ends), and a first limiting step 105 and a second limiting step 106 are respectively provided, wherein the second limiting step 106 is higher than the first limiting step 105. In other practical applications, a ring-shaped rib 107 is provided on the second limiting step 106 near the first limiting step 105.
[0074] In other practical applications, the high-pressure water outlet 104 has a check slope 1041 facing the check structure 200.
[0075] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the anti-reverse structure 200 has:
[0076] The check valve seat 201 is located inside the buffer chamber 103;
[0077] Check valve 202 is movably fitted onto check valve seat 201 and can move relative to check valve seat 201 between a first position and a second position;
[0078] The elastic element 203 is sleeved on the check valve seat 201, and its two ends abut against the check valve seat 201 and the check valve 202 respectively.
[0079] In the first position, the check valve 202 closes the high-pressure outlet 104, for example, the check valve 202 presses against the check slope 1041 to close the high-pressure outlet 104; in the second position, the check valve 202 disengages from the high-pressure outlet 104, the high-pressure chamber of the diaphragm pump is connected to the buffer chamber 103 through the high-pressure outlet 104, and the elastic element 203 elastically pushes the check valve 202 toward the first position; the second position is axially deviated from the first position according to the flow direction of fluid from the high-pressure chamber of the diaphragm pump to the buffer chamber 103.
[0080] like Figure 3 As shown, in some practical applications, the check valve seat 201 has:
[0081] pedestal 2011;
[0082] A guide hole 2012 is formed on the seat 2011 and cooperates with the check valve 202 to achieve guidance;
[0083] An annular flange 2013 is formed on the base 2011;
[0084] The check valve seat 201 is fixedly supported on the fluid chamber body 100 by the annular flange 2013. Specifically, the annular flange 2013 is supported on the first limiting step 105, so that the check valve seat 201 is located in the buffer chamber 103; the sealing gasket 400 is placed above the check valve seat 201, the upper surface of the annular flange 2013 is in contact with the sealing gasket 400, and the edge of the sealing gasket 400 is in contact with the second limiting step 106; the top cover 300 is detachably installed on the fluid chamber body 100, and the end face of the top cover 300 presses the annular flange 2013 against the first limiting step 105 through the sealing gasket 400, while the end face of the top cover 300 presses the edge of the sealing gasket 400 against the second limiting step 106. Figure 5 As shown, in some other practical applications, a ring of pressure ribs 301 is formed on the end face of the top cover 300. In the assembled state, the pressure ribs 301 are located on the outer ring of the annular ribs 107. The pressure ribs 301, the annular ribs 107 and the sealing gasket 400 are engaged to achieve double-rib sealing.
[0085] In some practical applications, the check valve seat 201 has a limiting end face 2014 located on the outer ring of the guide hole 2012.
[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, in some practical applications, the check valve 202 has the following characteristics:
[0087] Valve body 2021;
[0088] A guide post 2022 is formed at one end of the valve body 2021 and is embedded in the guide hole 2012 to guide the movement of the check valve 202 between the first position and the second position. In this embodiment, the guide post 2022 and the guide hole 2012 are clearance fit to facilitate relative movement between the two.
[0089] An annular groove 2023 is formed on the side wall of the valve body 2021 at one end away from the guide post 2022;
[0090] A sealing ring 2024 is disposed within the annular groove 2023;
[0091] When in the first position, the sealing ring 2024 contacts the side wall of the high-pressure water outlet 104 (for example, the sealing ring 2024 is pressed against the anti-reverse slope 1041), thereby sealing the high-pressure water outlet 104.
[0092] In some practical applications, a first flange 2025 and a second flange 2026 are respectively formed on the valve body 2021, and the annular groove 2023 is formed between the first flange 2025 and the second flange 2026. A mating inclined surface 2027 adapted to the check slope 1041 is formed on the first flange 2025; a limiting surface 2028 mating with the limiting end face 2014 is also formed on the valve body 2021. Figure 6 , Figure 7 In the assembled state shown, one end of the elastic element 203 abuts against the check valve seat 201, and the other end abuts against the upper surface of the second flange 2026. For example... Figure 6 As shown, when the check valve 202 is in the second position, the limiting end face 2014 abuts against the limiting surface 2028 and is limited; when the check valve 202 is in the first position, the limiting end face 2014 separates from the limiting surface 2028, and the check valve 202 closes the high pressure outlet hole 104.
[0093] like Figure 6 , Figure 7An example of a diaphragm pump is an application of the aforementioned fluid chamber structure, including the aforementioned fluid chamber structure, diaphragm chamber 500, diaphragm 600, and support (not shown in the figure). The diaphragm chamber 500 and diaphragm 600 are installed in the cavity formed by the aforementioned fluid chamber structure and support. A low-pressure chamber 700 and a high-pressure chamber 800 are formed between the fluid chamber structure and the diaphragm chamber 500, and a booster chamber 900 is formed between the diaphragm chamber 500 and the diaphragm 600. An intake valve 501 and an exhaust valve 502 are respectively installed on the diaphragm chamber 500.
[0094] The following is an exemplary description of one working process of the diaphragm pump in this embodiment.
[0095] The motor (not shown in the diagram) operates, causing the diaphragm 600 to move downwards. This increases the volume of the pressurization chamber 900, lowers the pressure, and causes the suction valve 501 to deform. Fluid entering the low-pressure chamber 700 through the inlet 101 then enters the pressurization chamber 900. The motor (not shown in the diagram) then operates, causing the diaphragm 600 to move upwards. This decreases the volume of the pressurization chamber 900, increases the pressure, and causes the discharge valve 502 to deform. Fluid entering the pressurization chamber 900 enters the high-pressure chamber 800, completing the pressurization process. Under the influence of the fluid in the high-pressure chamber 800, and guided by the cooperation of the guide post 2022 and the guide hole 2012, the check valve 202 overcomes the force of the elastic element 203 and moves upwards until the limiting end face 2014 abuts against the limiting surface 2028. The check valve 202 then stops moving upwards and reaches the second position. The fluid enters the buffer chamber 103 through the high-pressure outlet hole 104 and then flows out through the outlet 102. When outlet 102 is closed, the diaphragm pump pressure increases. The system then cuts off power to the diaphragm pump, and it stops pressurizing. However, due to the downward pressure F of the fluid in buffer chamber 103... P The downward pressure F of the elastic element 203 causes the check valve 202 to move down to the first position, where the inclined surface 2027 fits against the check inclined surface 1041, and the sealing ring 2024 fits tightly against the check inclined surface 1041, sealing the high-pressure outlet 104. The fluid in the buffer chamber 103 and the outlet 102 will not flow back into the high-pressure chamber 800, thus playing the role of check valve and pressure maintenance.
[0096] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
