DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, an all-plastic trigger spray pump comprises a pump body 1. The lower part of the pump body 1 is connected with a locking cover 8, which is used for connecting with a bottle. A liquid spray channel 11 is provided in the pump body 1. A nozzle 2 is provided at an outlet of the liquid spray channel 11. A liquid outlet channel 12 and a liquid inlet channel 13 which are vertically isolated from each other are provided in the pump body 1, wherein the liquid outlet channel 12 is communicated with the liquid spray channel 11. A liquid guide chamber 14 is provided on a side of the liquid outlet channel 12 and the liquid inlet channel 13. The upper part of the liquid guide chamber 14 is always in communication with the liquid outlet channel 12 by means of a normally open port 15. A pumping piston 3 is provided in the liquid guide chamber 14. A trigger 4 capable of driving the pumping piston 3 to perform piston movement in a left-right direction in the liquid guide chamber 14 is hinged onto the pump body 1. An elastic arm 5 capable of pressing against the pump body 1 and driving the trigger 4 to return the pumping piston 3 back is provided on the trigger 4. A lateral one-way valve that can be opened during the return movement of the pumping piston 3 so as to enable the liquid guide chamber 14 to be communicated with the liquid inlet channel 13 is provided between the liquid guide chamber 14 and the liquid inlet channel 13.

[0036] The liquid inlet channel 13 is used to communicate with a suction pipe inserted into the bottle. By arranging the lateral one-way valve between the liquid guide chamber 14 and the liquid inlet channel 13, when the trigger 4 is bounced by the elastic arm 5 to make the pumping piston 3 move outwards, the volume of the liquid guide chamber 14 becomes larger, and negative pressure is generated and directly acts on the lateral one-way valve to open the lateral one-way valve, so that the liquid in the bottle enters the liquid guide chamber 14 through the suction pipe and the liquid inlet channel 13, and thus the efficiency of liquid inflow is high. When the trigger 4 is actuated, driven by the pumping piston 3, the solution in the liquid guide chamber 14 can quickly push the lateral one-way valve to close, so as to prevent the liquid from flowing back into the bottle. By adopting the normally open port 15 to make the liquid guide chamber 14 always in communication with the liquid outlet channel 12, the explosive force of the solution flowing from the liquid guide chamber 14 to the liquid outlet channel 12 can be increased when the trigger 4 is actuated, which is beneficial to improve the explosive force of the spray.

[0037] According to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 6 and 8, the lateral one-way valve comprises a T-shaped valve plug 6. The valve plug 6 is made of a high-strength elastic material. The valve plug 6 comprises a fixed shaft 61 and an elastic valve plate 62, A convex ring 63 located on one side of the fixed shaft 61 is provided at the edge of the valve plate 62. A shaft hole 16 and a communication hole 17 enabling the liquid guide chamber 14 to be communicated with the liquid inlet channel 13 is provided on the pump body 1. The shaft hole 16 and the communication hole 17 are located inside the convex ring 63. The fixed shaft 61 is fixed to the shaft hole 16. A flat bottom 140 opposite to the convex ring 63 is provided on the rightmost side of the liquid guide chamber 14. The convex ring 63 abuts on the flat bottom 140 under the elastic action of the valve plate 62 to achieve sealing. It has good sealing performance, and is simple in structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0038] According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, there are a plurality of communication holes 17 arranged around an outer side of the shaft hole 16, and the communication holes 17 and the shaft hole 16 are communicated into a whole and form a plum blossom hole structure. It is simple in structure and simplifies the molding die. As shown in FIG. 2, a ridge 170 that protrudes towards one side of the valve plate 62 and is supported on the right side of the valve plate 62 is provided between two adjacent communication holes 17, and a communication chamber 630 always in communication with the communication holes 17 is formed among the flat bottom 140, the convex ring 63, the valve plate 62 and the ridge 170. The communication chamber 630 communicates with the bottle and is filled with liquid during normal use. When the negative pressure generated in the liquid guide chamber 14 reaches a set value, the liquid from the communication holes 17 around the fixed shaft 61 impacts the valve plate 62 from the periphery, then the convex ring 63 separates from the flat bottom 140 and opens the channel instantly, so that the liquid can quickly enter the liquid guide chamber 14 from all around. When the trigger 4 is actuated, the liquid passed can quickly push the valve plate 62 to make the convex ring 63 press on the flat bottom 140, so as to prevent the liquid from flowing back.

[0039] According to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1, 6 and 8, the pumping piston 3 comprises a piston rod 31, and a primary one-way sealing ring 32 and a secondary one-way sealing ring 33 arranged outside the piston rod 31. The primary one-way sealing ring 32 is arranged at the right end of the piston rod 31. The secondary one-way sealing ring 33 is arranged on the left side of the primary one-way sealing ring 32. The primary one-way sealing ring 32 and the secondary one-way sealing ring 33 form a left-and-right dual-sealing structure with the inner wall of the liquid guide chamber 14. Moreover, when the trigger 4 is bounced, the secondary one-way sealing ring 33 is located on the left side of a vent hole 143, while the primary one-way sealing ring 32 is located on the right side of the vent hole 143, which can effectively solve the problem of liquid overflow from the vent hole 143 while enhancing the sealing performance. The vent hole 143 communicates with the inner side of the locking cover 8 and the left part of the liquid guide chamber 14. When the trigger 4 is actuated, the secondary one-way sealing ring 33 moves to the right side of the vent hole 143, so that the vent hole communicates with the outside air through the chamber opening of the liquid guide chamber 14.

[0040] An annular groove 34 with a notch facing to the right is provided between the primary one-way sealing ring 32 and the piston rod 31. A positioning ring 141 that protrudes to the left into the liquid guide chamber 14 is provided on the rightmost side of the liquid guide chamber 14. The positioning ring 141 surrounds the valve piston 6 inside and is opposite to the annular groove 34 in a left-right direction. The positioning ring 141 is provided with a gap 142 corresponding to the normally open port 15. When the trigger 4 is actuated, the positioning ring 141 can be inserted into the annular groove 34 to squeeze out the liquid in the annular groove 34, and the right end of the piston rod 31 is inserted into the positioning ring 141, so as to squeeze out the liquid in the liquid guide chamber 14 as much as possible, and thus the utilization rate is improved.

[0041] According to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the liquid spray channel 11 is arranged at a certain angle relative to the liquid outlet channel 12, and an inlet of the liquid spray channel 11 is arranged in the middle of the liquid outlet channel 12. A longitudinal one-way valve 7 that only allows liquid to flow from the liquid outlet channel 12 to the liquid spray channel 11 is arranged between the liquid outlet channel 12 and the liquid spray channel 11. The longitudinal one-way valve 7 comprises an elastic telescopic part 71 located on the upper part of the liquid outlet channel 12. The elastic telescopic part 71 is hollow, and is provided with a rim 711 on an upper end thereof facing outside. A shell 9 is connected to the pump body 1. A collar 91 sleeved outside the liquid outlet channel 12 from top to bottom is provided on the shell 9. A press ring 92 for pressing an upper end of the longitudinal one-way valve 7 so as to tightly press the rim 711 against the edge of an upper port of the liquid outlet channel 12 is provided on the shell 9 and inside the collar 91. The rim 711 sealingly connects the press ring 92 with the upper port of the liquid outlet channel 12. A movable part 72 capable of moving in the liquid outlet channel 12 up and down is connected below the elastic telescope part 71. A circular ring 721 is provided at a lower end of the movable part 72. A circular hole 121 for the circular ring 721 to be inserted into to realize sealing connection is provided on the liquid outlet channel 12 and above the normally open port 15. A step 19 capable of blocking the circular ring 721 from below is provided at the bottom of the circular hole 121. The elastic telescopic part 71 elastically presses the movable part 72 downwards to enable the circular ring 721 to be inserted into the circular hole 121. An inner hole 70 is provided in the longitudinal one-way valve 7. A positioning rod 93 inserted downwards into the inner hole 70 and capable of pressing against the bottom of the inner hole 70 from above when the movable part 72 moves upwards so as to limit a rising height of the movable part 72 is provided on the shell 9.

[0042] By adopting the sealing design of full contact of the circular periphery of the circular ring 721 and the circular hole 121, and adopting highly elastic material to make the elastic telescopic part 71, when the trigger 4 is actuated to make the internal liquid pressure reach the design value, the channel will be instantly opened to achieve explosive spraying effect; and when it is closed, an instant closing effect can be achieved, which ensures the sealing stability and improves the quantitation accuracy. Moreover, the movable part 72 is blocked by the positioning rod 93 to limit the height of the circular ring 721 being pushed up, which can not only ensure that the channel is open enough for the liquid to be sprayed out, but also enable the circular ring 721 to be inserted into the circular hole 121 in time and quickly to close the channel after finishing the spray, so as to prevent backflow.

[0043] According to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, and the embodiments shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, as two implementations of the longitudinal one-way valve 7, a one-way sealing ring 73 located above the inlet of the liquid spray channel 11 is provided on an upper end of the movable part 72. The one-way sealing ring 73 is sealingly connected with the liquid outlet channel 12. Two or more clearances 74 are provided on the lateral face of the elastic telescopic part 71 in the circumferential direction. The elasticity of the elastic telescopic part 71 can be adjusted by the design of the clearances 74, and with the dual-sealing structure of the one-way sealing ring 73 and the rim 711, the sealing performance is enhanced, and the liquid overflow is effectively prevented.

[0044] According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the elastic telescopic part 71 has a bowl-shaped structure, and two clearances 74 are arranged on the lateral face of the elastic telescopic part 71 in the circumferential direction, so that the driving force required for its initial contraction deformation is small, and it is easy to be pushed up by the solution from below to communicate the liquid outlet channel 12 with the liquid spray channel 11. Moreover, when the movable part 72 moves upwards to deform the elastic telescopic part 71 by a certain amount, it can have better elasticity, so that it can quickly rebound and push the movable part 72 to return back when the negative pressure is reduced.

[0045] According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, as a third implementation of the longitudinal one-way valve 7, the middle part of the elastic telescopic part 71 is concave from the lateral face, and the sidewall of the elastic telescopic part 71 has an integrated annular structure, which has high elasticity and can rebound rapidly.

[0046] According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a circular joint 111 is provided at the outlet of the liquid spray channel 11. The nozzle 2 is sleeved outside the joint 111 and is rotatable relative to the joint 111. A protruding buckle 112 is provided on an outer lateral face of the joint 111. A groove for the buckle 112 to snap into and preventing the nozzle 2 from escaping from the joint 111 is provided in the nozzle 2. The groove is an arc groove arranged around the joint 111 and allows the buckle 112 to rotate a certain angle therein. A liquid outlet 113 communicated with the liquid spray channel 11 is provided on the joint 111. The nozzle 2 is provided with a sealing connection ring 22 inserted into the liquid outlet 113 and sealingly connected with an inner wall of the liquid outlet 113. A blocking mechanism capable of blocking the liquid jet after the nozzle 2 rotates a certain angle is provided between the nozzle 2 and the liquid outlet 113, so that in non-use state no liquid comes out when the trigger is actuated by mistake, and the rotation self-locking is realized.

[0047] The blocking mechanism comprises a sleeve column 23 located inside the sealing connection ring 22, and a central column 114 arranged at the liquid outlet 113 and extending into the sleeve column 23, A first recess 24 communicated with an outlet of the nozzle 2 is provided at the inner most side of the sleeve column 23. A second recess 25 communicated with the liquid outlet 113 is provided on the inner sidewall of the sleeve column 23. A third recess 115 capable of communicating the first recess 24 with the second recess 25 is provided on the central column 114. The nozzle 2 is rotated to make the second recess 25 misalign with the third recess 115 so as to block the communication between the first recess 24 and the second recess 25, thus blocking the outflow of the liquid. The nozzle 2 is rotated to make the second recess 25 align with the third recess 115 and the first recess 24 to realize communication, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0048] According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the elastic arm 5 and the trigger 4 are integrally molded by injection. There are two elastic arms 5 located on the left and right sides of the pump body 1 respectively. The elastic arms 5 have an upwards-protruding curved structure. A book 51 is provided at the rear end of the elastic arm 5. A hook groove 18 matched with the hook 51 is provided at the rear part of the pump body 1. It is simple in structure, reduces parts and components, reduces manufacturing cost, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0049] The parts and components of the full-plastic trigger spray pump are all made of plastic, which is environment-friendly and safe, avoiding the corrosive problem caused by the use of metal. Among others, the valve plug 6 and the longitudinal one-way valve 7 are made of PE material, while the pump body 1, the nozzle 2, the pumping piston 3, the trigger 4, the elastic arm 5, the locking cover 8 and the shell 9 are made of PP material, which is environment-friendly and safe. The European Union recycling standards can be better met, and the resource reuse rate is increased.
