Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a foam pump.

BACKGROUND

The statements here only provide the background information related to the present disclosure, and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.

With the improvement of the living standard, people are also pursuing the convenience of daily necessities. For example, for bottled liquid, a liquid pump is usually mounted at an outlet of a bottle body, and the liquid in the bottle body can flow out by pressing the pump.

The bottled liquid is in a liquid state when used, such as a liquid detergent. However, some liquids still need to be kneaded into foam during use, such as disinfectant. Traditionally, the liquid is pumped out by pressing a pump body and is then rubbed on the hands to form foam, which is more troublesome.

Later, there is a foam pump. The foam pump makes hand-washing foam from hand sanitizer through motor mixing and other structures, and the hand-washing foam is directly pumped out from an outlet of a bottle body for use. However, the existing foam pump still has an unreasonable structural design. As a result, when the bottle body falls off, a battery, a pump body and other structures easy to loosen and fail to work. Meanwhile, there is also a problem of difficulty in assembling.

Therefore, it is necessary to study a new technical solution to solve the above problems.

It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed” to another element, it can be directly on the other element or an intermediate element may also exist. When one element is considered to be “connected” to another element, it can be directly connected to another element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms “perpendicular”, “horizontal”, “left”, “right” and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only, and are not meant to be the only implementation modes.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein are the same as meanings of general understandings of those skilled in the art of the present disclosure. The terms used in the description of the present disclosure herein are merely to describe the specific implementation modes, not intended to limit the present disclosure. The term “and/or” used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, a novel foam pump in an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a shell main body 10 and a nozzle 20 arranged on an upper side of the shell main body 10. A battery 30 and a foam pump body 40 are arranged in the shell main body 10. The nozzle 20 is provided with a circuit board 21 and a foam outlet 22. The circuit board 21 is electrically connected to the battery 30 and the foam pump body 40. The foam pump body 40 is provided with an input end and an output end. The input end of the foam pump body 40 is connected with a suction pump 50. The suction pipe 50 extends out of the shell main body 10. The output end of the foam pump body 40 is connected with the foam outlet 22. The circuit board 21 is electrically connected with a trigger switch.

The shell main body is cylindrical, which extends vertically. A fixed support 60 is arranged inside the shell main body 10. The fixed support 60 has an upper mounting position 61 and a lower mounting position 62. The foam pump body 40 is mounted at the upper mounting position 61. The battery 30 is arranged at the lower mounting position 62. A circumferential surface of the fixed support 60 is provided with a positioning clamping slot 63. The shell main body 10 is internally provided with a positioning clamp bulge matched with the positioning clamping slot 63.

During assembling, the battery 30 and the foam pump 40 are first fixedly mounted on the support 60 to form a support module. The entire support module is then arranged in the shell main body 10 (specifically, an accommodating cavity is formed in the shell main body, and the accommodating cavity has an upper-end opening; and the support module is arranged in the shell main body from the upper-end opening of the shell main body).

Specifically, a first placement place 621 is arranged on a circumferential side of the lower mounting position 62, and a second placement place is arranged on an upper side of the upper mounting position 61. During assembling, the battery 30 is arranged in the lower mounting position 62 from the first placement place 621. Furthermore, the circumferential side wall of the lower mounting position 62 achieves a clamping and fixing effect on the battery 30. The foam pump body 40 is arranged in the upper mounting position 61 from the second placement place. In addition, a gap 611 is formed in a circumferential side wall of the upper mounting position 61. Thus, when the foam pump body 40 is arranged at the upper mounting position 61, the circumferential side wall of the second mounting position achieves a clamping and fixing effect on the foam pump body 40 (specifically, the gap is formed in the circumferential side wall, so that the circumferential side wall of the mounting position acts as a clamping wall, which has a clamping and fixing function). In addition, a buffer space 64 is reserved between the upper mounting position 61 and the lower mounting position 62, so that when the foam pump body 40 works (vibrates), the impact on the battery 30 can be reduced, which can avoid damages to the battery 30.

Further, the trigger switch includes a touch switch 211 and a trigger sensor 212 which are arranged on the circuit board 21. The touch switch 211 is arranged on an upper side surface of the nozzle 20. The trigger sensor 212 is arranged on a lower side surface of the nozzle 20. A sensing region of the trigger sensor 212 is correspondingly arranged below the foam outlet 22. Thus, the foam pump body 40 can work and discharge foam when a user touches it with a hand or by means of contactless induction, and the user can wash hands with the foam. Usually, the trigger sensor 212 is an infrared sensor.

Further, a connecting cap 70 connected with a bottle body is detachably arranged below the nozzle 20. The connecting cap 70 is generally connected with a pourer of the bottle body. Specifically, a connecting slot 71 connected with the pourer is formed between the connecting cap 70 and the shell main body 10. A connecting thread, such as an internal thread, is arranged in the connecting slot 71, and the pourer is usually provided with an external thread matched with the internal thread. Preferably, a pressing spacer 72 (a seal spacer) is arranged in the connecting cap 70, so that when the foam pump body 40 is connected with the bottle body, the airtightness can be ensured.

In actual applications, the connecting cap 70 can be of different specifications, so as to adapt to various bottle bodies. During working, the foam pump body 40 works, and the suction pipe 50 inputs hand sanitizer from the bottle body into the foam pump, and the foam pump stirs the hand sanitizer to form foam and discharges the foam from the foam outlet 22 of the nozzle 20.

Preferably, the nozzle 20 includes an upper cover 201 and a lower cover 202 detachably connected to the upper cover 201. Specifically, the lower cover 202 upwards extends to form an elastic fastener 2021. The upper cover 201 is provided with a fastening hole 2011 matched with the elastic fastener 2021. The upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 are assembled to form a mounting cavity 23 for mounting the circuit board 21. Thus, the assembling difficulty is lowered. Preferably, the foam outlet 22 downwards tilts, which facilitates use by the user.

The key of the design of the present disclosure is as follows. The battery and the foam pump body are mainly mounted on the fixed support, and the fixed support is then mounted in the shell main body. Mounting and fixing are completed by means of the cooperation between the positioning clamping slot and the positioning clamping bulge. The novel foam pump has the advantages of simple assembling and high assembling stability. Thus, when the novel foam pump falls off, the position stability of the foam pump body and the battery can also be ensured. Meanwhile, there is a buffer space reserved between the foam pump body and the battery, so that the impact of the work of the foam pump body on the service life, the safety and other properties of the battery can also be effectively reduced.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and do not limit the technical scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, any minor changes, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present disclosure still fall within the scope of the technical solutions of the present disclosure.
