The appearance of the drawing or adding liquid machine is simple and beautiful, so that it is suitable for both commercial use and household use, and it can be used as a pumping machine, car wash tool, garden spray machine, etc.

(26) The drawing or adding liquid machine has two working modes, one is drawing liquid mode (when the valve cartridge 3 is in the first working position) and the other is adding liquid mode (when the valve cartridge 3 is in the second working position). The specific working principle of the drawing or adding liquid machine is as follows:

(27) Control the movement of the valve cartridge 3, so that the valve cartridge 3 is in the first working position, at which time the drawing or adding liquid machine is in the drawing liquid mode. At the same time, the first through-hole 5, the first part 10, and the third through-hole 7 are sequentially connected, and the second through-hole 6 is connected with the external air through the sliding hole 4. Lifting and pressing the handle 29 repeatedly to pump up, the handle 29 drives the piston assembly 25 to reciprocate up and down by the connecting rod 28. Thus, each time the piston assembly 25 is depressed, air of the lower space 27 is discharged unidirectionally through the second pipeline 23, the second through-hole 6, and the sliding hole 4, while the air inside the liquid storage tank 30 enters the upper space 26 through the third pipeline 32, the first part 10, and the first pipeline 22. The inside of the liquid storage tank 30 is made into a negative air pressure, so that an end of the fourth pipeline 33 passing through the upper cover 1 can be inserted into a device that requires pumping liquid to perform the pumping operation.

(28) Control the movement of the valve cartridge 3, so that the valve cartridge 3 is in the second working position, at which time the drawing or adding liquid machine is in the adding liquid mode. At the same time, the second through-hole 6, the second part 11, and the third through-hole 7 are sequentially connected, and the first through-hole 5 is connected with the external air through the sliding hole 4. Lifting and pressing the handle 29 repeatedly to pump up, the handle 29 drives the piston assembly 25 to reciprocate up and down by the connecting rod 28. Thus, each time the piston assembly 25 is depressed, the external air enters into the upper space 26 through the sliding hole 4, the first through-hole 5, and the first pipeline 22, while the air of the lower space 27 enters into the liquid storage tank 30 through the second pipeline 23, the second through-hole 6, the second part 11, and the third pipeline 32. The inside of the liquid storage tank 30 is made into a positive air pressure, so that the liquid inside the liquid storage tank 30 is discharged through the fourth pipeline 33 under the action of positive air pressure to enter into a device that requires adding liquid to perform the adding operation.

(29) As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 4, and FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the drawing or adding liquid machine also includes a foundation 34. A lower end of the pump 19 and a lower end of the liquid storage tank 30 both are hermetically and fixedly disposed at the foundation 34, the upper cover 1 has a locating part 35, and the locating part 35 hermetically cooperates with an upper end of the pump 19. Such structure has good strength and is relatively compact.

The fourth seal 42 is glidingly cooperates with an inside wall of the pump 19, and the thickness of the fourth seal 42 is smaller than the height of the columnar side wall 40. When the piston 36 moves downward, the fourth seal 42 abuts to the upper side wall 38. When the piston 36 moves upward, the fourth seal 42 abuts to the lower side wall 39. A space is disposed between the fourth seal 42 and the upper side wall 38, and the upper space 26 is connected with the lower space 27 through the connecting hole 41.

(33) As shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, a shaft of the pump 19 is parallel to a shaft of the liquid storage tank 30, the switching valve foundation 2 is disposed between the pump 19 and the liquid storage tank 30, and the shaft of the sliding hole 4 is vertical to the shaft of the pump 19. Such settings makes the structure more compact.
