Embodiment 1

[0062] Now reference is made to FIGS. 1 to 13. This embodiment provides a plastic spring which includes a spring unit. The spring unit includes a first support member 10, a second support member 20, and at least two torsion arms 30. The first support member 10 includes a first mating surface 100 and the second support member 20 includes a second mating surface 200. The two torsion arms 30 are arranged between the first support member 10 and the second support member 20, and both ends of each of the torsion arms 30 are respectively connected with the first support member 10 and the second support member 20. Each of the torsion arms 30 includes two vertical sections 310, and both ends of the torsion arm 30 are respectively connected with the first support member 10 or the second support member 20 through one vertical section 310.

[0063] When there is only one spring unit in the plastic spring of the present disclosure, the first 10 and second 20 support members of the spring unit respectively serve as two parts bearing a pressing force of the spring. Further, the first mating surface 100 of the first support member 10 and the second mating surface 200 of the second support member 20 serve as the two ends bearing the pressing force of the spring. The first mating surface 100 and the second mating surface 200 respectively conduct the pressure applied thereon to the two torsion arms 30 arranged between the first 10 and second 20 support members via the first 10 and second 20 support members, and then the two torsion arms 30 deform to generate resilience, which is conducted to the first 100 and second 200 mating surfaces via the first 10 and second 20 support members and then acts on an acted surface. Each of the torsion arms 30 in this embodiment includes two vertical sections 310. Provision of the vertical sections 310 can help to conduct the pressing force or resilience, and when the pressing force or resilience is conducted to the torsion arms 30 or the first 10 and second 20 support members through the vertical sections 310, it can effectively prevent joints between two ends of each of the torsion arms 30 and the first 10 and second 20 support members from breaking.

[0064] In this embodiment, each of the torsion arms 30 also includes a connecting section 320 connecting the two vertical sections 310. In this embodiment, the vertical sections 310 and the connecting section 320 of each of the torsion arms 30 are connected through an arc section 330. If the vertical section 310 and the connecting section 320 are directly connected with each other, processing difficulty is low, but there is a sudden change of direction for an acting force between the vertical section 310 and the connecting section 320 without a smooth transition, and thus it is easy for a break to occur between the vertical section 310 and the connecting section 320. In this embodiment, the vertical section 310 and the connecting section 320 are connected through the arc section 330, which can function to effectively transition the acting force and is not easy to break.

[0065] In this embodiment, the vertical section 310 connected with the first support member 10 is perpendicular to the first mating surface 100, while the vertical section 310 connected with the second support member 20 is perpendicular to the second mating surface 200. In order to be applied for most application scenarios, the first mating surface 100 is parallel to the second mating surface 200.

[0066] In this embodiment, an outer side surface of the first support member 10, an outer side surface of the second support member 20 and an outer side surface 90 of each of the torsion arms 30 define a first surface 50, and an inner side surface of the first support member 10, an inner side surface of the second support member 20 and an inner side surface 60 of each of the torsion arms 30 define a second surface 40. That is, an inner side surface of the whole plastic spring defines the first surface 50, and an outer side surface of the whole plastic spring defines the second surface 40.

[0067] In this embodiment, both the first surface 50 and the second surface 40 are the cylindrical surfaces, and correspondingly, the shapes and sizes of the first support member 10 and the second support member 20 are matched with those of the first surface 50 and the second surface 40. The first support member 10 and the second support member 20 are of circular columns in shape. The first support member 10 may be same as the second support member 20 in shape and size, forming a vertically symmetrical shape, which facilitates a uniform distribution of forces. The cylindrical first surface 50 encloses a cylindrical inner cavity, while the cylindrical second surface 40 defines a cylindrical outer surface. The cylindrical inner cavity and the outer surface are smooth surfaces, which will not be stuck with other elements in an operating environment during deformation of the spring.

[0068] In this embodiment, a side surface of each of the torsion arms 30 also includes a first inclined side surface 70 and a second inclined side surface 80. The first inclined side surface and the second inclined side surface on the vertical section 310 are a first inclined surface 311 and a second inclined surface 312 respectively, and the first inclined surface of one vertical section 310 and the second inclined surface of the other vertical section 310 in the same torsion arm 30 are located in a same inclined side surface. The first inclined surface 311 is directly connected with the inner side surface 314 of the vertical section 310, the inner side surface 314 of the vertical section 310 is directly connected with the second inclined surface, the outer side surface 313 of the vertical section 310 is directly connected with the first inclined surface, and the outer side surface of the vertical section 310 is connected with the second inclined surface through the transitional arc surface.

[0069] As shown in FIGS. 10-12, a cross section A-A, a cross section B-B, a cross section H-H, a section I-I and a section J-J are all sections of the vertical section 310 from high to low along the height direction. The cross section A-A and the cross section B-B are cross sections of the vertical section 310 connected with the first support member 10. In this embodiment, an angle between the first inclined surface and the inner side surface 314 of the vertical section 310 is a first acute angle B1, an angle between the second inclined surface and the outer side surface 314 of the vertical section 310 is a first obtuse angle A1, an angle between the first inclined surface and the outer side surface of the vertical section 310 is a second obtuse angle A2, and an angle between the second inclined surface and the outer side surface of the vertical section 310 is a second acute angle B2. In this way, a contact area between the vertical section 310 and the first support member 10 or the second support member 20 can be increased while keeping the first inclined surface parallel to the second inclined surface. In this embodiment, the first acute angle B1 is smaller than the second acute angle B2, and the first obtuse angle A1 is equal to the second obtuse angle A2. The first acute angle B1 is less than 10 degrees, and further less than 5 degrees. In this embodiment, the first acute angle B1 is 2 degrees, and the first acute angle B1 is a sharp angle. The second acute angle B2 ranges from 45 to 70 degrees and in this embodiment the second acute angle B2 is 50 degrees. The second obtuse angle A2 and the first obtuse angle A1 ranges from 120 to 180 degrees, and in this embodiment both the first obtuse angle A1 and the second obtuse angle A2 are 140 degrees.

[0070] In the cross-sectional view A-A and the cross-sectional view B-B, the cross sections of the vertical sections 310 are both quadrangles with a pair of parallel sides. The first inclined surface is parallel to the second inclined surface, so as to keep consistency of the thicknesses D1 of the vertical sections 310, thereby ensuring a uniformity of force conduction.

[0071] The cross section H-H, the cross section I-I and the cross section J-J are all cross sections of the vertical sections 310 connected with the second support member 20. In the cross-sectional view H-H, cross-sectional view I-I and cross-sectional view J-J, the cross sections of the vertical sections 310 are all pentagonal. In this embodiment, the vertical section 310 connected with the second support member 20 also includes a third inclined surface 315 which is connected with the outer side surface of the vertical section 310 and the second inclined surface respectively. An included angle between the third inclined surface 315 and the outer side surface of the vertical section 310 is a third obtuse angle A3. A height of the third inclined surface 315 is smaller than that of the first inclined surface. In a general application scenario, the first support member 10 and the second support member 20 are generally located at an upper end and a lower end of a gravity line respectively. The second support member 20 not only needs to bear the pressing force, but also needs to bear a weight of the spring itself. Provision of the third inclined surface 315 adds an additional support surface perpendicular to the mating surfaces, which increases its bearing capacity. In this embodiment, the third obtuse angle A3 may be equal to the second obtuse angle A2.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 8, the third inclined surface 315 includes two parts, a quadrilateral first part 3151 completely perpendicular to the first mating surface 100 and a second part 3152 which is triangular when developed on a plane. The second part 3152 is configured for a transition.

[0073] In this embodiment, the at least two torsion arms 30 are centrosymmetric relative to a central axis of the first support member 10 so as to ensure the uniformity of force conduction. In this embodiment, the central axis of the first support member 10 is a central axis of the circular column.

[0074] As shown in FIGS. 4, 7 and 8, in this embodiment, a connecting line between the first inclined side surface and the inner side surface of the torsion arm 30 is a first connecting line 801, a connecting line between the second inclined side surface and the outer side surface of the torsion arm 30 is a second connecting line 701. The first connecting line 801 and the second connecting line 701 drawn in FIG. 4 are thicker than other lines, which is for ease of distinguishing but not for any limitation. An included angle between a part of the first connecting line at the vertical section 310 and a part of the first connecting line at the connecting section 320 is a fourth obtuse angle A4, an included angle between a part of the second connecting line at the vertical section 310 and a part of the second connecting line at the connecting section 320 is a fifth obtuse angle. The fifth obtuse angle is larger than the fourth obtuse angle. Although part of the second connecting line on the vertical section does not intersect with the part of the second connecting line on the connecting section 320, the fifth obtuse angle and the fourth obtuse angle are on a same plane, the fifth obtuse angle is an angle between part of the second connecting line on the vertical section and the part of the second connecting line on the connecting section in the plane where the fourth obtuse angle is located. When in use, the vertical section 310 conducts the applied pressing force to an end of the connecting section 320 connected therewith, and the two ends of the connecting section 320 respectively deform under action of the pressing force to generate resilience. The deforming includes any one or more of stretching, compression, shearing, torsion and bending. When the inner side surface and outer side surface of the connecting section 320 are surfaces of revolution, a torsional force is generated at both ends of the connecting section 320 under the action of pressing force respectively.

[0075] In this embodiment, the fourth obtuse angle A4 is 124 degrees, so as to provide the smooth transition for the force conduction between the vertical section 310 and the connecting section 320, and ensure that a break does not occur between the vertical section 310 and the connecting section 320.

[0076] Referring to FIG. 10, the cross sections of the connecting section 320 in this embodiment from high to low in the height direction are shown in the cross-sectional view C-C, the cross-sectional view D-D, and the cross-sectional view E-E. It can be seen that a shape of the cross sections of the connecting section 320 are composed of a pair of parallel line segments connecting with a pair of arcs with a same curvature, which is approximately parallelogram.

[0077] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, a cross section of each arc section 330 from high to low in the height direction is shown in the cross-sectional view F-F and the cross-sectional view G-G. The cross-sectional view F-F is a cross-sectional view of an interface between the connecting section 320 and the arc section 330.

[0078] It can be seen from FIG. 6 that in this embodiment, a height H2 of the connecting section 320 of each of the torsion arms 30 accounts for 40% of a total height of the torsion arm 30, a total height of the arc section 330 of each of the torsion arms 30 accounts for 30% of the total height of the torsion arm 30, a total height of the vertical section 310 of each of the torsion arms 30 accounts for 30% of the total height of the torsion arm 30. The height H2 of connecting section 320 is greater than a sum of heights of vertical sections 310, which provides enough space for deformation of the connecting sections 320. The vertical sections 310 of each of the torsion arms 30 connected to the different support member have different heights which are H1 and H3, respectively. When the vertical section 310 are connected with the arc section 330, they are connected through an inclined surface. In this embodiment, H3 is used as the height of the vertical section 310, that is, a distance from a highest point to a lowest end of the vertical section 310. In other embodiments, when the vertical section 310 and the arc section 330 are connected, they can also be connected through a surface, where H1=H3.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the inner side surface of each torsion arm 30 is a circular arc surface with a central angle α of 165 degrees. The central angle corresponding to the inner side surface of each connecting section 320 is smaller than that of the inner side surface of each torsion arm 30, and the central angle β corresponding to the inner side surface of each connecting section 320 is 70 degrees, which provides enough space for the deforming of the connecting section 320 and ensures that the connecting section 320 can generate enough deformation to output a sufficient resilience.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first inclined side surface and the second inclined side surface of each connecting section 320 are flat surfaces. In deforming, the first inclined side surface and the second inclined side surface which are flat surfaces can reduce resistance in bending the connecting section 320 to the first inclined side surface or the second inclined side surface, and ensure that the resistance in bending each part of the connecting section 320 to the first inclined side surface or the second inclined side surface is approximately the same.

Embodiment 2

[0081] Now reference is made to FIGS. 14 to 15. In order to improve the bearing capacity of the spring, a reinforcing arm 300 is added to the plastic spring of Embodiment 2 on the basis of Embodiment 1.

[0082] Each spring unit also includes two pairs of reinforcing arms 300, i.e., four reinforcing arms 300, all of which are arranged between the first support member and the second support member, and each reinforcing arm extends from the first support member or the second support member. Provision of the reinforcing arms facilitates increasing an overall bearing capacity of the spring. All reinforcing arms are centrosymmetric relative to the central axis of the plastic spring.

[0083] Each reinforcing arm also includes a vertical section 3001 and a curved section 3002 connected to an end of the vertical section. The vertical section and the curved section of the reinforcing arm are parallel to the vertical section and the arc section of the torsion arm respectively. The shapes of the vertical section and curved section of the reinforcing arm are similar to those of the vertical section and the arc section of the torsion arm respectively. All of these sections are all formed by connecting four surfaces in turn with a difference that a shape of a cross section of the vertical section of the reinforcing arm is composed of a pair of parallel line segments and a pair of arcs with a same curvature, which is approximately parallelogram. And the vertical section of the reinforcing arm may not be provided with a third inclined surface. An end of the reinforcing arm away from the curved section of the vertical section is rounded, and the reinforcing arm is arranged close to the torsion arm.

[0084] A height H4 of each reinforcing arm is less than half of a height of the whole torsion arm, and the height of each reinforcing arm is greater than 25% of the height of the whole torsion arm. In this embodiment, the height of each reinforcing arm accounts for 30% of the height of the whole torsion arm.

Embodiment 3

[0085] Now reference is made to FIGS. 16 to 17. This embodiment provides a plastic spring with two spring units, and a shape of each of the spring units is the same as that of the spring unit in embodiment 2. Different spring units are connected through a first mating surface of one spring unit 1 and a second mating surface of the other spring unit 2. Different spring units are connected integrally. In order to maintain an effective conduction of an acting force, a total thickness T3 of the support members after different spring units are connected is equal to a thickness T1 or T2 of the support member that need to be directly associated with the acted surface. T1 is equal to T2. In other embodiments, different spring units may have different shapes and sizes.

[0086] The reinforcing arms and vertical sections between adjacent spring units are opposite one by one, and the adjacent spring units are axisymmetric.

Embodiment 4

[0087] Referring to FIG. 18, this embodiment provides a plastic spring with two spring units, and a shape of each of the spring units is substantially the same as that of the spring unit in embodiment 1, and difference will be explained below.

[0088] In this embodiment, a restriction ring 101 is provided around the first mating surface of the first support member, and a retaining ring is also provided around the second mating surface of the second support member. The inner side surfaces of the first support member and the second support member are in the second surface, but the outer side surfaces of the first support member and the second support member are not in the first surface.

[0089] In this embodiment, the connecting section and vertical section are connected through the arc section which accounts for a large proportion. In this embodiment, a sum of the heights of the arc section and the connecting section is much larger than a sum of the heights of the vertical sections. The sum of the heights of the arc section and the connecting section accounts for 89% of the height of the torsion arm and the height of the connecting section accounts for 6% of the height of the torsion arm.

[0090] The spring unit in this embodiment is not provided with the third inclined surface.

Embodiment 5

[0091] Now reference is made to FIGS. 19 to 21. This embodiment provides a pump core 3 which includes a connecting rod 31, a stopper, a plastic spring 32, a piston 34 and a lower valve 35. The stopper 33 in this embodiment is a switch 33. The switch 33 is arranged on the connecting rod 31, and the switch 33 and the connecting rod 31 cooperate with each other to form a cavity 301 for accommodating the plastic spring 32. The plastic spring 32 is arranged between the switch 33 and the connecting rod 31, and the piston 34 is arranged at a lower end of the connecting rod 31, and can move up and down along a lower end of the connecting rod 31 for a small distance. The connecting rod 31 can rotate at a certain angle around an axis relative to the switch 33. The lower valve 35 is fixedly connected with the connecting rod 31. Paired limiting bars and limiting steps can be provided in the connecting rod 31 and the switch to lock the pump core. Symmetrical limiting bars and slots are respectively provided in the connecting rod 31 and the switch, so that the connecting rod can move up and down along an axial direction and achieve the pumping function.

[0092] The first mating surface of the plastic spring 32 is in abutted contact with a top surface 3111 above a gap formed by an annular skirt of the connecting rod 31, and the second mating surface of the plastic spring 32 is in abutted contact with an end surface 3310 of a boss inside the switch 33.
