[0028] Please see Figure 1-7

[0029] Provide a drip-proof water pump:

[0030] The water pump body 10 has, from top to bottom, a cover 11, a first valve plate 12, a second valve plate 13, and a cylinder 14. A drive motor is installed at the lower end of the cylinder 14. A diaphragm cup 141 is located inside the cylinder 14. The drive motor drives the pendulum needle to swing and continuously stretch and compress the diaphragm cup 141 to provide power for the entry and exit of water.

[0031] The cover 11, the first valve plate 12, and the second valve plate 13 are connected to the cylinder body 14 by multiple screws 16. The first valve plate 12 is connected to the input pipe 111 and the output pipe 112.

[0032] A sealing gasket 15 is abutted between the first valve plate 12 and the second valve plate 13. The first valve plate 12 has an input cavity 121 that connects to the input pipe 111 and an output cavity 122 that connects to the output pipe 112. The sealing gasket 15 is abutted by the first valve plate 12 and the second valve plate 13, which effectively isolates the input cavity 121 and the output cavity 122 to prevent water leakage.

[0033] The second valve plate 13 has an input port 131 that connects to the input chamber 121 and an output port 132 that connects to the output chamber 122. A one-way inlet valve 133 is provided at the input port 131. The output chamber 122 has a protruding inlet 123. A sealing assembly 17 is provided at the output chamber 122. The sealing assembly 17 is used to seal the inlet 123. The sealing assembly 17 includes a movable block 172 and a spring 171. The spring 171 elastically abuts against the upper end of the movable block 172. The lower end of the movable block 172 has a sealing part 173. The outer diameter of the sealing part 173 is larger than the inner diameter of the inlet 123 and smaller than the inner diameter of the output chamber 122. When the drive motor stops working;

[0034] When the water pump body 10 is working, water enters the piston cup 141 from the inlet 131 through the inlet 121. The compression and deformation of the piston cup 141 pushes the movable block 172 upward, causing the sealing block to open the inlet 123. This allows water to enter the output chamber 122 through the outlet 132 and the inlet 123, and finally be discharged through the output pipe 112. When the water pump body 10 stops working, the piston cup 141 stops stretching and compressing. Under the elastic force of the spring 171, the movable block 172 drives the sealing block to seal the inlet 123, preventing water from entering the output chamber 122, thus avoiding leakage.

[0035] Furthermore, when the water pump body 10 is not used for a long time, the water inside the water pump body 10 is sealed by the one-way inlet valve 133 and the sealing block, so the water inside the water pump body 10 is not easy to dry out, thereby avoiding the rubber parts and plastic parts from sticking together and causing the water pump to fail, thus improving the service life of the water pump body 10.

[0036] The sealing gasket 15 has multiple inwardly recessed areas, which isolate multiple screws 16 on the outside respectively. The upper end of the first valve plate 12 is provided with a first annular groove 124 and a second annular groove 125. Both the first annular groove 124 and the second annular groove 125 are provided with sealing rings 127. The sealing rings 127 are pressed by the cover 11, further isolating the input cavity 121 and the output cavity 122, effectively improving the sealing performance.

[0037] The lower end of the cover 11 has multiple inserts, and the upper end of the first valve plate 12 has a groove for the multiple inserts to be fitted one by one. Each screw 16 is fitted with a washer. During assembly, the screws are guided by the insertion of the inserts into the grooves, making assembly convenient.

[0038] The inner wall of the output chamber 122 has multiple flow channels 126, which allow water to flow quickly to the input pipe 111 through the flow channels 126 after entering the output chamber 122, thereby increasing the water discharge speed.

[0039] The output pipe 112 and the input pipe 111 are located on the cover 11, and the output pipe 112 and the output cavity 122 are eccentrically distributed, thereby increasing the distance between the output pipe 112 and the input pipe 111 and avoiding them being too close to each other and affecting the connection of the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
