DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0058] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present disclosure can be more readily understood by those skilled in the art, and the scope of the present disclosure can be more clearly defined.
Embodiment
[0059] Referring to
[0061] In the pumping structure, the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112 are arranged at the lower end of the liquid storage cavity 11, so that the function of single-side liquid inlet and outlet of the liquid storage cavity 11 is realized; when the piston rod 2 moves downward, the volume of the liquid storage cavity 11 becomes smaller and the internal pressure increases, and at this time, gas or liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11 can be discharged from the liquid outlet 112 into the pressure-accumulation ejecting structure by opening the liquid outlet 112 and closing the liquid inlet 111; when the piston rod 2 moves upward, the volume of the liquid storage cavity 11 becomes larger and the internal pressure decreases, and at this time, liquid in a liquid storage bottle (not shown in the figure) can enter the liquid storage cavity 11 from the liquid inlet 111 by opening the liquid inlet 111 and closing the liquid outlet 112, so as to realize pumping of the liquid in the liquid storage bottle. It should be noted that in practical application, the liquid storage bottle is fixedly connected to the lower end of the main frame 1.
[0062] In some embodiments, referring to
[0063] When the piston rod 2 moves downward, the liquid outlet 112 is opened and the liquid inlet 111 is closed, at this time, as the volume of the liquid storage cavity 11 becomes smaller and the internal pressure increases, liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11 can enter the liquid outlet chamber 3 from the liquid outlet 112 and enter the pressure-accumulation ejecting structure via the diversion channel 12; when the piston rod 2 moves upward, the liquid outlet 112 is closed and the liquid inlet 111 is opened, at this time, as the volume of the liquid storage cavity 11 becomes larger and the internal pressure becomes smaller, liquid in the liquid storage bottle is sucked into the liquid storage cavity 11, and at the same time, the liquid entering the pressure-accumulation ejecting structure via the diversion channel 12 is ejected. The guiding portion located below the liquid storage cavity 11 is arranged on the main frame 1, and the liquid inlet channel is arranged on the guiding portion, thereby realizing the communication of the liquid storage bottle with the liquid inlet 111; further, the diversion channel 12 is directly formed on the main frame 1 and cooperates with the liquid outlet chamber 3 on the guiding portion, thereby realizing the communication of the liquid outlet 112 with the pressure-accumulation ejecting structure, and then realizing the liquid outlet function.
[0064] Specifically, referring to
[0065] The liquid in the liquid storage bottle can directly enter the liquid inlet 111 via the suction pipe 41 and the guiding branch pipe 43, and the liquid at the liquid outlet 112 can directly flow into the liquid outlet chamber 3. The guiding branch pipe 43 is arranged such that during liquid inlet, the liquid directly enters the liquid inlet 111 via the liquid inlet channel instead of entering the liquid outlet chamber 3; during liquid outlet, the liquid enters directly into the liquid outlet chamber 3 from the liquid outlet 112.
[0066] In some embodiments, referring to
[0067] In some embodiments, in order to open and close the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112, an inlet valve 13 is arranged on the side of the liquid inlet 111 facing the liquid storage cavity 11, and an outlet valve 14 is arranged on the side of the liquid outlet 112 facing the liquid outlet chamber 3. The blocking or unblocking of the liquid inlet 111 is achieved by the inlet valve 13, and the blocking or unblocking of the liquid outlet 112 is achieved by the outlet valve 14. In order to mount the inlet valve 13 and the outlet valve 14, in some embodiments, the inlet valve 13 may be fixed to the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage cavity 11 by snap-fitting, and the outlet valve 14 may be fixed to the outer bottom wall of the liquid storage cavity 11 by snap-fitting.
[0068] When the volume in the liquid storage cavity 11 becomes smaller, the internal pressure in the liquid storage cavity 11 increases, since the inlet valve 13 is located on the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage cavity 11 and the outlet valve 14 is located on the outer bottom wall of the liquid storage cavity 11, under the action of the internal pressure of the liquid storage cavity 11, the inlet valve 13 can deform downward to block the liquid inlet 111, and the outlet valve 14 deforms downward to open the liquid outlet 112; when the volume in the liquid storage cavity 11 becomes larger, the internal pressure in the liquid storage cavity 11 becomes smaller, the inlet valve 13 can deform upward to open the liquid inlet 111, and the outlet valve 14 can deform upward to block the liquid outlet 112.
[0069] Further, referring to
[0070] In some embodiments, referring to
[0071] When the pressing handle 511 is pressed downward, the casing can rotate downward around a position where the casing is pivoted with the main frame 1, thereby driving the piston rod 2 to move downward, and at this time, the trigger spring 52 is pressed downward and compressed; when the pressing handle 511 is released, the trigger spring 52 rebounds upward and stretches and drives the casing to rotate upward around a position where the casing is pivoted with the main frame 1, thereby driving the piston rod 2 to move upward.
[0072] In some embodiments, when the piston rod 2 moves upward and the liquid in the liquid storage bottle is pumped into the liquid storage cavity 11, the internal pressure in the liquid storage bottle will decrease due to the decrease of the liquid, and in order to avoid the phenomenon that the liquid storage bottle shrinks due to the decrease of the internal pressure, in the actual design, a pressure stabilizing channel 16 is formed on the main frame 1, and two ends of the pressure stabilizing channel 16 are respectively connected to the atmosphere and the liquid storage bottle. Moreover, the port of the pressure stabilizing channel 16 communicating with the atmosphere should be arranged above the dynamic sealing connection position between the piston rod 2 and the liquid storage cavity 11, so as to ensure that the pressure stabilizing channel 16 does not communicate with the liquid storage cavity 11 during the upward and downward movement of the piston rod 2, thereby ensuring the sealing property of the liquid storage cavity 11.
[0073] In some embodiments, referring to
[0074] Specifically, referring to
[0075] When the liquid enters the pressure-accumulation ejecting structure from the diversion channel 12, the liquid can exert pressure on the inner plug 64, the inner plug 64 is forced by the pressure of the liquid to move downward, and drives the ejector rod 66 to move downward and the pressure accumulation spring 65 to be compressed; at this time, due to the downward movement of the inner plug 64, the top cover inner cavity is opened, and part of the liquid can enter the nozzle 63 via the top cover inner cavity to be ejected, and part of the liquid flows into the upper cavity 621 with the downward movement of the inner plug 64; when the liquid outlet 112 is closed, the pressure accumulation spring 65 rebounds, and the ejector rod 66 moves upward and drives the inner plug 64 to move upward, thereby reversely pressurizing the liquid so that the liquid is ejected through the nozzle 63 until the inner plug 64 moves upward and seals the top cover inner cavity.
[0076] In some embodiments, referring to
[0077] In some embodiments, referring to
[0078] In some embodiments, referring to
[0079] Further, referring to
[0080] In some embodiments, the inner cavity liquid inlet channel 613 and the inner cavity liquid outlet channel 614 are both of a linear structure, and the inner cavity liquid inlet channel 613 and the inner cavity liquid outlet channel 614 are arranged in parallel. By setting the inner cavity liquid inlet channel 613 and the inner cavity liquid outlet channel 614 to be of the linear structures in parallel, the resistance of the inner cavity liquid inlet channel 613 and the inner cavity liquid outlet channel 614 to the liquid during ejection is reduced, thus making the ejection more labor-saving.
[0081] The pumping structure and the pressure-accumulation ejecting structure cooperate in the following manner: [0082] referring to
[0085] But in actual operation, when gas (during initial pressing) or a mixture of gas and liquid is inside the liquid storage cavity 11, during the downward movement of the piston rod 2, if the gas and liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11, the liquid outlet chamber 3, the diversion channel 12 and the inner cavity liquid inlet channel 613 are not enough to generate the pressure to push the inner plug 64 to move downward, the gas retained in the liquid storage cavity 11, the liquid outlet chamber 3, the diversion channel 12 and the inner cavity liquid inlet channel 613 is in a relatively sealed space, as the piston rod 2 continues to move downward, the volume of the liquid storage cavity 11 is continuously compressed, and this part of gas will be continuously formed into compressed gas, and the compressed gas will generate a counter-acting force on the piston rod 2, so that the downward movement of the piston rod 2 is hindered, and the gas in the liquid storage cavity 11 is difficult to exhaust.
[0086] Based on this, in some embodiments, the pumping structure further includes a pressure relief portion used to discharge compressed gas. Specifically, referring to
[0087] In some embodiments, referring to
[0088] It needs to be noted that, on the main frame 1, the port of the pressure relief channel 72 communicating with the piston rod 2 is set lower than the port of the pressure stabilizing channel 16 communicating with the atmosphere.
[0089] In some embodiments, referring to
[0090] In some embodiments, referring to
[0091] First, the pressure relief valve 71 is fixedly connected to the piston rod 2 by means of the connecting rod 714, and then the sealing lip 712 is arranged on the outer peripheral face of the valve body 711, so that the annular sealing of the pressure relief valve 71 for the piston accommodating groove 221 is ensured; in addition, since the pressure relief valve 71 is arranged on the side of the piston rod 2 facing the liquid storage cavity 11, when the pressure relief valve 71 is not opened (that is, the sealing lip 712 hermetically abuts against the inner side wall of the piston accommodating groove 221), a seal for the top of the liquid storage cavity 11 can be jointly formed by the pressure relief valve 71 and the piston rod 2.
[0092] Referring to
[0093] It needs to be noted that the valve body 711, the sealing lip 712, the abutment convex ring 713 and the connecting rod 714 may be of an integrated structure, wherein the valve body 711 and the sealing lip 712 need to be made of an elastic material.
[0094] In some embodiments, the actuating member includes an annular boss 74, wherein the lower end of the annular boss 74 is fixedly connected in the liquid storage cavity 11, and the upper end of the annular boss 74 faces the abutment convex ring 713.
[0095] When the piston rod 2 moves downward, the abutment convex ring 713 can abut against the annular boss 74; when the piston rod 2 continues to move downward, the valve body 711 generates arch-shaped deformation due to the abutment of the abutment convex ring 713 against the annular boss 74, that is, when the piston rod 2 moves downward, since the joint between the valve body 711 and the connecting rod 714 and the joint between the valve body 711 and the sealing lip 712 are both subjected to a downward acting force from the piston rod 2, at this time, due to the abutment of the abutment convex ring 713 against the annular boss 74, the valve body 711 can exhibit an arch shape (the junction between the valve body 711 and the abutment convex ring 713 is the apex of the arch shape, while the junction between the valve body 711 and the connecting rod 714 and the joint between the valve body 711 and the sealing lip 712 are two end points of the arch shape), at this time, due to the arch-shaped deformation of the valve body 711, the valve body 711 exhibits retracted deformation in the direction from the sealing lip 712 to the connecting rod 714, so that the transverse spacing (spacing in the horizontal direction shown in the figure) between the connecting rod 714 and the sealing lip 712 is reduced, thus, the sealing lip 712 and the inner side wall of the piston accommodating groove 221 form a gap therebetween and are no longer in hermetical abutment. At this time, the compressed gas in the liquid storage cavity 11 can enter the pressure relief hole 73 along the gap between the sealing lip 712 and the inner side wall of the piston accommodating groove 221 and then enter the pressure relief channel 72.
[0096] Further, in order to cooperate with the arch-shaped deformation of the valve body 711, the side of the abutment convex ring 713 facing the sealing lip 712 is a first inclined plane 7131 inclined downward in the direction from a position close to the sealing lip 712 to a position away from the sealing lip 712. The annular boss 74 is provided with a second inclined plane abutting against the first inclined plane 7131. During the downward movement of the piston rod 2, the movement of the abutment convex ring 713 is guided by the abutment of the first inclined plane 7131 against the second inclined plane.
[0097] Under the circumstances that there is gas in the liquid storage cavity 11, and when gas (or gas-liquid mixture) entering the pressure-accumulation ejecting structure by means of the pumping structure is not enough to drive the inner plug 64 to move downward during downward movement of the piston rod 2, the gas retained inside the liquid storage cavity 11, the liquid outlet chamber 3, the diversion channel 12, the inner cavity liquid inlet channel 613 is in a relatively sealed space, and as the piston rod 2 continuously moves downward, the volume of the liquid storage cavity 11 is continuously compressed, and the gas in the liquid storage cavity 11 is continuously formed into compressed gas; the piston rod 2 continues to move downward until the abutment boss 713 of the pressure relief valve 71 abuts against the annular boss 74, thereby forcing the pressure relief valve 71 to be opened, the compressed gas can enter the pressure relief hole 73 and the pressure relief channel 72 along the gap between the sealing lip 712 and the piston accommodating groove 221, and flow back into the liquid storage bottle along the pressure relief channel 72 so as to achieve the purpose of pressure relief.
[0098] In some embodiments, referring to
[0099] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concepts and features of the present disclosure, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the content of the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the present disclosure. Equivalent variations and modifications made according to the spirit of the present disclosure are intended to be included within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
