Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of peristaltic pump technology, and more specifically, to a miniature peristaltic pump. Background Technology

[0002] Peristaltic pumps pump fluid by alternately squeezing and releasing a tubing through rotating rollers. The pump tubing between the two rollers forms a "pillow" shape for the fluid. Currently, peristaltic pumps use a motor to drive gears, which in turn rotate an I-beam joint. The rollers on the I-beam directly squeeze the tubing, creating a sealed vacuum environment to draw in the liquid. However, in existing pumps, when both rollers are rotated to the horizontal position of the tubing opening and the pump stops operating immediately after a power outage, only one roller squeezes the tubing, failing to achieve a pressure-maintaining effect.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the I-groove so that the roller can produce a pressure-holding effect in any direction has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that, in the above-mentioned technology, the motor drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the I-beam groove to rotate. The roller on the I-beam groove directly squeezes the hose to form a sealed vacuum environment to pump liquid. However, when the two rollers rotate to the horizontal direction of the pipe opening and the pump just stops working due to power failure, only one roller squeezes the hose, which fails to achieve the pressure holding effect. Therefore, this utility model provides a miniature peristaltic pump.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: to construct a micro peristaltic pump, which has the following features:

[0006] The pump base shell is formed as a hollow cylinder. A through hole is provided on one side of the pump base shell, and a snap-fit ​​structure is provided on the other side to be installed and fixed with the snap-fit ​​of the pump top cover.

[0011] I-shaped groove, which is in the shape of "I", with a gear-shaped groove at the bottom, a through hole in the middle, and four square-arranged steel needle holes on both the upper and lower end faces of the I-shaped groove. The I-shaped groove is arranged on the gear-shaped convex step of the planet carrier;

[0012] Steel needle, which is inserted into the steel needle hole of the I-shaped groove;

[0013] Roller, which is cylindrical, with a through hole in the middle for passing through the steel needle, and is installed in the I-shaped groove;

[0014] Adapter, which is connected to the nozzle of the hose and is arranged on the semi-circular groove of the pump bottom shell;

[0015] Hose, whose nozzle is connected to the adapter and is sleeved on the roller in the I-shaped groove;

[0016] Pump upper cover, whose tail has a buckle structure. The pump upper cover covers the top of the pump bottom shell and is fixed with screws;

[0017] In a micro peristaltic pump of the present utility model, there is a through hole on one side of the pump bottom shell. The motor passes through the through hole and extends into the pump bottom shell. One side of the buckle structure is cooperatively installed and fixed with the pump upper cover; The planetary gear is installed on the planet carrier and is installed in the pump bottom shell together. The steel needle passes through the roller and is installed in the I-shaped groove. The hose is sleeved on the roller in the I-shaped groove, and the I-shaped groove is installed on the planet carrier; The adapter is connected to the hose nozzle and is arranged on the semi-circular groove of the pump bottom shell. The roller forms a sealed vacuum liquid extraction environment by squeezing the hose;
