[0017] The structure of the present invention will be further described by referring to the accompanying drawings. Referring to the structure as shown in FIGS. 1- FIGS.6, which illustrates a structure known from Chinese Patent Application CN 110589208 the known vacuum pump comprises a pump core assembly, the pump body 3 of the pump core assembly is provided with an elastic sleeve 2, a valve pin 4, and a piston 5.

Its specific structure is described below: the outer diameter of the valve stem 7 in the said pump body is nested into the inner diameter of the inner plug, the inner diameter of the pump intake of the pump body is snapped-fit and sealed against the outer diameter of the lower plug 601 of the inner plug, the inner diameter of the upper plug 603 of the inner plug outwardly of the pump body is provided with a lower elastic cavity that is larger than the inner diameter of the plug, the inner diameter hole of the upper plug of the inner plug is provided with the upper elastic cavity of the outer diameter of the valve stem whose outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper plug, the spring is disposed in the cavity formed by nesting the upper spring cavity of the valve stem into the lower spring cavity of the inner plug, which means that the outer diameter of the upper spring cavity at the stem rim of the valve stem is upper ring 702, the upper ring of the valve stem is nested into the inner diameter of the upper plug of the inner plug. An upper stepped groove is disposed in the bottom part of the inner diameter of the upper ring of the said valve stem, a lower stepped groove 602 is disposed in the inner diameter of the inner plug at the pump intake of the pump body, one end of the spring is fit and secured to the lower stepped groove of the inner plug, and vertical grooves 701 are uniformly distributed in the outer diameter of the valve stem at the spring.

[0018] The pump body groove ring and the raised ring of the inner plug are disposed on the area where the outer diameter of the pump intake of the said pump body is fit to the inner plug respectively, an inner ring of the piston 703 is provided underneath the buckle ring rib of the said valve stem, the tip of the inner ring of the piston is provided with an inner ring rim of the piston 501 extended out of the ring rim of the piston, the inner ring of the piston of the valve stem is nested hermetically with the inner ring rim of the piston, the ring rim in the bottom of the inner ring of the piston is sealed fit to the nailhead ring groove of the valve pin, a conical bottom cavity is disposed in the bottom part of the valve pin. When pressing the valve pin, the bevel ring of the outer diameter of the bottom cavity hole of the valve pin is set against and limited to the inner walls of the pump body above the elastic sleeve. A Z-shaped curved adjoining rib and a hallow hole are disposed in an area between the cartridge 202 of the said elastic sleeve and the center piece 201 at one side of the sleeve opening, the center piece of the elastic sleeve is set against the center conical hole 301 of the pump body, the center conical hole of the pump body is the inlet hole of the pump body, a stepped ring diameter 302 is provided above the center conical hole of the pump body.

[0019] Referring to the embodiment of the vacuum pump application as shown in FIG.1 and 2, the pump body groove ring of the said pump body and the raised ring of the inner plug are interference-fit and secured to the fixing ring groove of the inner diameter of the upper ring of the large ring 9, the bottom part of the inner ring of the lower ring of the said large ring is provided with large ring threaded groove and the lower inner ring groove of the large ring, the lower outer ring groove of the large ring is disposed in the outer diameter of the large ring threaded groove in the large ring, the lower outer ring groove of the large ring is connected to the ribbed groove of the large ring underneath, the inner diameter of the ribbed groove of the large ring is larger than that of the lower outer ring groove of the large ring, there is a clearance between the inner diameter of the lower outer ring groove of the large ring underneath the fixing ring groove of the large ring lower ring and the outer diameter of the pump body, raised ribs are disposed on the inner walls of the large ring ribbed groove, a top groove is disposed in the outer diameter of the fixing ring groove on the tip of the large ring, the inner ring of the head cap is snapped-fit to the inner diameter of the stem rim of the valve stem, the outer ring of the head cap is nested to the inner diameter of the top groove of the large ring. The diameter of the lower ring outer diameter of the large ring, the diameter of the upper ring outer diameter of the large ring, and that of the outer diameter of the head cap decrease in descending order.

[0020] The spring structure of the vacuum pump is modified in the following manner: the inner hole of the spring is nested outwardly of the vertical groove of the valve stem cylinder, one end of the spring is secured in the upper stepped groove of the valve stem and the other end is secured in the lower stepped groove of the inner plug. Thereby, the spring does not come into contact with the liquid whenever in use and avoid having chemical reaction with liquid, its appearance and function will not be affected, free from liquid contamination or deterioration. The sealing structure of the piston equipped with the valve stem is modified in the following manner: the inner ring of the piston on the inner walls in the bottom end of the valve stem is sealed to the ring rim in the piston of the piston sealing ribs, so that a sealing structure following the liquid direction would be formed. For trial spray, as shown in FIG.4, the sealing at Point A can be hardly affected by the hydraulic pressure during the liquid trial spray, which can greatly improve the liquid leakage in trial spray due to rapid trial spray or under high viscosity and high hydraulic pressure. With respect to the original design of the spring pump core that is outwardly placed, the sealing point is counterflow liquid sealing, which may easily leak due to liquid impact. Effective sealing is impossible when rapidly pressing or under high viscosity and high hydraulic pressure.

[0021] The trial spraying process of edge skewing and pressing of the vacuum pump is modified in the following way: the vertical groove of the valve stem cylinder passes through the inner hole of the upper plug of the valve stem, to the extent that the valve stem moves in a vertical center manner with the inner plug during the vertical movement. And the upper ring in the upper part of the valve stem is placed in the inner hole of the upper plug of the inner plug, to the further extent that the centers of the valve stem and the inner plug would form a double-layer control center structure; in this way, the skewing of the valve stem that leads to the skewing of the head cap after the assembly process can be effectively improved, and defects such as liquid leakage or no suction power during the trial spraying process of edge skewing and pressing would be greatly improved. As shown in FIG.2, when the vacuum pump presses the head cap at its edge in actual application, the head cap becomes skewed due to uneven distribution of force, leading to the skewing of the valve stem. As the stroke further presses, the upper ring in the upper part of the valve stem gradually increases the straight-out fitting to the inner walls of the upper plug of the inner plug, which can effectively control the skewing degree of the valve stem, make sure that the parts adjoined to the valve stem is immune to the skewing, and greatly improve the stability and extensive use of the product. In the original design of externally provided spring pump core of similar types, the valve stem is only fit to the inner hole of the inner plug. Consequently, during the trial spraying process of edge pressing the head cap, the valve stem is likely to cause the skewing of the valve pin and the piston, causes many functional abnormalities, poor stability and narrow suitability of the product.

[0022] The sealing fit of the elastic sleeve and the pump body of the vacuum pump is modified in the following way: the elastic sleeve is placed in the pump body, the arc convex surface of the center piece of the spring is sealed to the arc concave surface of the center conical hole of the pump body, the cartridge rim of the elastic sleeve is snapped-fit to the stepped ring diameter ribs above the center conical hole of the pump body; when pressing and returning, the adjoining ribs through the elastic sleeve are slightly deformed, so that the elastic sleeve can open for liquid entry, or close for sealing. In the original design of externally provided spring pump cores of similar types available on the market, when the elastic sleeve is equipped with a piston structure, the elastic sleeve and pump body are constructed in plane-plane sealing structure, which is not easy to seal and there is less sealing faces, uneven or slanted plane may disable the sealing performance. The arc convex-concave sealing structure, modified from the elastic sleeve structure of the vacuum pump, significantly increases the sealing fit surface than the plane structure, and the arc is convex-concave fit. If there is a slight skewing, it will be automatically guided to return with the arc skewed surface, which would greatly improve stability and sealing performance.

[0023] Referring to the embodiment of the invention as shown in FIGS.7- FIGS.18, the pump core assembly of the vacuum pump is snapped-fit to the center hole of the large ring, the valve stem 12 of the pump core assembly extends out of the large ring and is adjoined to the head cap 1, the inlet hole at one side of the pump body of the pump core assembly is provided with a suction tube. The specific structure is described as follows: the tip of the valve stem is provided with an outwardly flipped groove that curves downwardly, the outer diameter of the stem part of the valve stem is disposed with intake grooves that are uniformly distributed, one end of the plastic spring 11 is set against the outwardly flipped groove of the valve stem, the other end of the plastic spring is set against the outer ring edge plane of the inner plug 13 and the end face of the center hole of the large ring, one end of the plastic spring is provided with an upper sleeve opening, one end of the plastic spring is provided with a lower sleeve opening, a "W-shaped" cylinder is disposed in an area between the upper sleeve opening and the lower sleeve opening of the plastic spring, the upper sleeve opening, the lower sleeve opening and the "W-shaped" cylinder of the plastic spring are formed as one-piece, the plastic spring is located in the outer diameter of the valve stem, and the plastic spring is joined to the pump core assembly. Figure 18 shows that the inner plug 13 comprises three part, a lower plug 1301, an upper plug 1303, and in between these parts 1301 and 1303 a outwardly extending part.

[0024] The said pump body of the said pump core assembly is snapped-fit and secured to the center hole of the large ring through the inner plug. While the inner concave ring rib of the pump intake of the pump body is unevenly snapped-fit to the outer convex ring rib of the inner plug, the raised outer ring edge of the outer diameter of the inner plug is fit to the pump intake of the pump body, the nailhead at one end of the valve pin in the pump body is snapped-fit to the inner rib hole of the valve stem, a piston is disposed in the outer diameter of the valve pin at the snap-fit point, a liquid distributing channel is disposed on the inner walls of the inner rib hole of the valve stem, the valve stem is nested to the inner plug, the outer diameter of the piston is slipped-fit and sealed against the inner walls of the pump body, a bottom slotted hole is disposed in the bottom part of the second valve pin that nested into the valve pin, the outwardly flipped rim of the piston is slipped-fit and sealed against the inner walls of the bottom slotted hole of the valve stem, the bottom slotted hole of the valve stem appears like an arc bottle rim, which means that the bottom slotted hole in the liquid distributing channel of the valve stem is a semicircular hole, the bottom slotted hole underneath the semicircular hole is a cylindrical hole, and an elastic sleeve is disposed at the inlet hole in the pump body. The said ring rim in the bottom part of the head cap is located in an area above the ring groove of the outer diameter of the center hole of the large ring, a ring catch groove is disposed in the outer diameter of the center hole underneath the large ring, a buffer groove is disposed in the large ring of the outer diameter of the ring groove, convex ribs are provided in the large ring underneath the buffer groove, and the end of ribs flushes with the outer ring rim of the buffer groove. A spacer plug is disposed in an area between the outer diameter of the pump body underneath the center hole of the said large ring and the ring catch groove, the height of the ring rim of the spacer plug is below that of the ring catch groove, and a spacer ring is disposed in an area between the outer diameter of the pump body and the inner diameter of the spacer plug. An open groove is disposed on one side of the inner diameter of the ring rim of the ring groove of the large ring. The large ring of the said vacuum pump is used in the emulsion bottle product of inner and outer bottles; referring to FIG.17 and 18, the inner plug 13 is an outwardly flipped inner plug, the outer diameter of the pump intake of the pump body is snapped-fit and secured on the lower inner groove of the outwardly flipped inner plug, and the outer diameter of the lower inner groove of the outwardly flipped inner plug is snapped-fit and secured on the center hole of the large ring.

[0025] The said vacuum pump is an emulsion nozzle constructed in a push-type plastic spring structure, the elastic sleeve, the pump body, the valve pin, the piston, the inner plug, the valve stem, and the plastic spring make up the pump core assembly. The main innovations lie in the modification of the pump core structure in emulsion nozzle and the technological R&D and application of hi-tech materials in vacuum pump and emulsion pump, especially the spring modified to the plastic spring, so that it can be generally recycled and processed without disassembly. Its main features include: 1. The plastic spring is designed in a new manner and appears like a multi-section, tower-like, corrugated cylinder structure, with thru-hole designed in the middle and ultrathin walls, and "W-shaped" outer ring. The convex-concave "W-shaped" structure is more consistent with elastic mechanics and further facilitates the production deformation to create a good elastic effect. The hand feel of pressing is very soft and smooth, compared to rigid and abrupt feel of traditional wire spring. 2. The vacuum pump is one-piece plastic structure made of recycling plastic, eco-friendly and healthy. The nozzle can be directly recycled without disassembly, eco-friendly, low-carbon, economical, efficient and convenient.

[0026] It is produced and assembled in the following manner: the middle thru-hole of the plastic spring is nested into the cylindrical section of the valve stem, the end face of the upper sleeve of the plastic spring is disposed on the plane of outwardly flipped groove of the valve stem, the other end face at the lower sleeve of the plastic spring is disposed on the plane of outer ring edge of the inner plug, and the outer diameter of the lower sleeve is nested in the inner diameter of the center hole of the large ring. Thereby, the plastic spring can be truly assembled in the pump core assembly and becomes one-piece pump core assembly. When the head cap is pressed, the valve stem is driven to move down, so that the corrugated cylinder of the plastic spring is compressed and deformed; once released, the corrugated cylinder of the plastic spring rebounds and returns, then drives the valve stem, the head cap, the piston, and the valve pin to move upward, so that the pressing and returning features of the pump core assembly would be achieved. The advantage of this vacuum pump is that it is convenient for production, and one-piece plastic pump core assembly is a standalone assembly as general-purpose part. When equipped with a large ring, the head cap can be readily assembled to product, coupled with different large rings and head caps if needed, then made into diverse combinations, so that the consumers' needs would be satisfied. Most of the nozzles constructed in plastic spring structure available on the market are one-piece design, which cannot realize one-piece plastic structure of a single pump core assembly. Thus, a fixed large ring and a fixed head cap should be equipped to make a product with one-piece plastic structure nozzle. In this sense, such available nozzles are single-type and rigid.

The vacuum pump is one-piece plastic structure, the middle thru-hole of the plastic spring is nested in the pump core assembly, the end face of the outer sleeve of the plastic spring is disposed on the plane at the rib grooves on four rib columns of the head cap, the other end face at the inner sleeve of the plastic spring is disposed on the plane at the ring groove outwardly of the center hole of the inner ring. When the head cap is pressed, the valve stem is driven to move down, so that the corrugated cylinder of the plastic spring is compressed and deformed; once released, the corrugated cylinder of the plastic spring rebounds and returns, then drives the valve stem, the head cap, the piston, and the valve pin to move upward, so that the pressing and returning features of the pump core assembly would be achieved.
