1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a hand pump, and more particularly, to a hydraulic double-acting hand pump in which a pair of pistons installed in high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves alternatively ascend and descend, and fluids in the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves are discharged to the outside of a body.
2. Discussion of Related Art
Generally, a pump is a device which transfers fluids through a pipe using a pressure effect or forcibly transfers fluids inside a low pressure container into a high pressure container through a pipe.
Here, in addition to water, the pump is also used in transferring special fluids including oil, chemical, or pulp, viscose, etc.
Here, the pump includes a discharge valve and a suction valve therein, and due to a reciprocating motion of the piston, the discharge valve and the suction valve are alternatively opened and closed to discharge and suction liquid.
Patent document 1 shows a conventional reciprocating electronic pump. Referring to the Patent document 1, the conventional reciprocating electronic pump includes a cylinder in a hollow shape, a piston which is installed in the cylinder and laterally moves in a reciprocating manner, a solenoid which is installed to surround an outer circumferential surface of the cylinder and provides a magnetic force to the piston, suction pipes which supply fluids to the cylinder through both ends of the cylinder, and a discharge pipe which discharges the fluids in the cylinder to the outside of the cylinder.
Here, when the piston is moved toward the left in the cylinder by the magnetic force of the solenoid, fluids remaining in space on the left in the cylinder are discharged to the outside through the discharge pipe formed on the left thereof, and at this point, fluids are supplied through the suction pipe formed on the right thereof to be supplied to space on the right in the cylinder.
Next, when the piston is moved toward the right in the cylinder by the same method as described above, the fluids remaining in space on the right in the cylinder are pushed by the piston and discharged to the outside of the cylinder through the discharge pipe formed on the right.
At this point, the fluids are supplied to the space on the left in the cylinder through the suction pipe formed on the left.
That is, the piston is laterally moved in a reciprocating manner in the cylinder by the solenoid to push the fluids inside the cylinder to the outside and at this point, forcibly suctions fluids into the cylinder.
However, in a patent document such as the above Patent document 1, an external influence on the magnetic force between the solenoid and the piston causes the piston not to properly perform reciprocating motions, speed of the reciprocating motion is changed according to the variation of the pressures of the suction pipe and the discharge pipe, an operation of the piston stops when the pressure in the cylinder is raised higher than the magnetic force of the solenoid, and thus there is a problem in that the reliability of a product is degraded because the fluid suction and discharging are not performed due to the inoperability of the piston.

Referring to
The body 100 receives fluids from the fluid inlet 103 and supplies the fluids to the high and Tow pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101.
The body 100 receives fluids from each of the high low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101.
The high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 generate a suction pressure and a pressurizing pressure therein using ascending/descending pistons 200.
In the body 100, when a suction pressure which suctions fluids is generated at one groove of the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101, a pressurizing pressure which pushes fluids is generated at the other groove of the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101.
In the body 100, a fluid guide path 105 is formed to horizontally penetrate in a direction from one surface to the other surface thereof to perpendicularly communicate with the fluid inlet 103, a low pressure side fluid guide path 101a is formed between the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101 and the fluid guide path 105 to guide fluids inside the fluid guide path 105 to the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101, and a high pressure side fluid guide path 102a is formed between the high pressure side fluid supply groove 102 and the fluid guide path 105 to guide fluids inside the fluid guide path 105 to the high pressure side fluid supply groove 102.
Both ends of the fluid guide path 105 is blocked with blocking members (not shown) to prevent a leakage of fluids.
In the body 100, bypass outlets 106 are formed at a bottom surface thereof, a bypass path 106a is formed between the bypass outlet 106 and the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101 to guide fluids inside the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101 to the bypass outlet 106, and a relief valve 107 is further installed in the bypass outlet 106 and is opened to discharge fluids to the outside of the body 100 through the bypass outlet 106 when a pressure in the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101 is increased more than a predetermined pressure.
The bypass outlet 106 discharges fluids inside the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101 to the storage tank T.
The relief valve 107 blocks fluids which moved to the bypass outlet 106 from being discharged to the outside of the body 100 and performs an opening/closing operation by raising the pressure in the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101 to discharge the fluids to the outside of the body 100 through the bypass outlet 106.
When a predetermined pressure is applied, the relief valve 107 performs an opening/closing operation to pass fluids, and the pressure at which the opening/closing operation is performed may be adjusted by a user.
The body 100 further includes a fluid flow controller 110 which is formed between the fluid guide path 105 and the fluid outlet 104 to communicate with the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a and supplies fluids to the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a or guides fluids discharged from the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 through the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a to be discharged through the fluid outlet 104.
The fluid flow controller 110 includes a first flow path 111 through which the fluid guide path 105 and the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a communicates with each other, a second flow path 112 through which the first flow path 111 and the fluid outlet 104 communicates with each other, a blocking ball 113 which is inserted into the first flow path 111 to open and close the first flow path 111, and an elastic spring 114 which is inserted into the second flow path 112 and presses the blocking ball 113 such that the blocking ball 113 seals the first flow path.
The first flow path 111 guides fluids inside the fluid guide path 105 to be supplied to the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a.
The second flow path 112 guides fluids discharged through the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a to be discharged to the outside of the body 100 through the fluid outlet 104.
The blocking ball 113 is inserted into and coupled to the first flow path 111 not to be interfered with the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a and opens the first flow path 111 by moving out of the first flow path 111 while pressing the elastic spring 114 using a suction pressure suctioned to the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a
The blocking ball 113 blocks the first flow path 111 by being pressurized in the direction of the first flow path 111 by a pressure of fluids discharged to the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a and the restoring force of the elastic spring 114.
The elastic spring 114 presses the blocking ball 113 moved out of the first flow path 111 to return the blocking ball 113 to the original position.
The piston 200 is inserted into and coupled to the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 and ascends and descends along the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 to supplies fluids to the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 or pushes fluids inside the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 to the fluid outlet 104.
It is preferable that the piston 200 be formed to have an upper end with a diameter greater than that of the lower end to correspond to the shape of the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101.
The piston 200 ascends/descends using the handle.
The piston 200 ascends/descends and generates a suction pressure and a pressurizing pressure in the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101.
The handle 300 in a rod shape is rotatably installed between the low pressure side fluid supply grooves 101 of the body 100 and has an outer surface coupled to the pistons 200 to alternately and repeatedly pump the pistons 200.
The handle 300 is gripped and operated by a user.
The hydraulic double-acting hand pump having a structure as described above according to the embodiment of the present invention is used as follows.
First, the body 100 is pressed against and fixed to the top surface of the storage tank T where fluids are stored, and a hose (not shown) is connected between the fluid inlet 103 of the body 100 and the storage tank T.
Then, the piston 200 is inserted into and coupled to the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 of the body 100 which vertically communicate with each other and are symmetrically formed in a pair, and an upper end of the piston 200 is coupled to an outer surface of the handle 300.
Here, the handle 300 is rotatably installed between the low pressure side fluid supply grooves 101 of the body 100, and the pair of pistons 200 are alternately and repeatedly moved upward and downward.
Next, a hose (not shown) which guides discharge of fluids is connected to the fluid outlet 104 of the body 100, and a movement is repeated in which the handle 300 is pressurized downward or is raised upward with the handle 300 gripped.
Then, referring to
At this point, the piston 200 which moves downward generates a pressurizing pressure in the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101, and fluids inside the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 are pushed by the pressurizing pressure of the piston 200 to be discharged through the high and low pressure fluid guide paths 102a and 101a.
Here, referring to
At this point, the blocking ball 113 is pressurized by the fluids discharged by the high and low pressure fluid guide paths 102a and 101a and the elastic spring 114 and is moved in the direction of the first flow path 111.
Accordingly, simultaneously with the first flow path 111 being blocked by the blocking ball 113, the fluids are moved to the second flow path 112 in communication with the first flow path 111, and at this point, the fluids moved to the second flow path 112 are discharged to the outside of the body 100 through the fluid outlet 104.
On the other hand, the piston 200 which moves upward generates a suction pressure in the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101, and fluids stored in the storage tank T are supplied to the inside of the body 100 through the fluid inlet 103 by the suction pressure.
Then, the fluids supplied to the inside of the body 100 through the fluid inlet 103 pass through the fluid guide path 105 and the fluid flow controller 110, are moved to the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a, and are supplied to the insides of the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 through the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a.
Here, referring to
At this point, the blocking ball 113 is pushed from the first flow path 111 and opens the first flow path 111 while pressing the elastic spring 114.
Next, the fluids moved to the open first flow path 111 are supplied to the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 through the high and low pressure side fluid guide paths 102a and 101a in communication with the first flow path 111.
That is, as described above, by the pistons 200 which alternately and repeatedly ascend and descend to generate a suction pressure or pressurizing pressure in the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 of the body 100, fluids are supplied to the inside of the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101, or fluids in the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 are discharged through the fluid outlet 104 of the body 100.
Meanwhile, referring to
Here, when a pressure in the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101 is increased by the piston 200, the fluids in the bypass path 106a press the relief valve 107 by the pressure, and at this point, the relief valve 107 is pressurized by the pressure which is more than a predetermined pressure such that the relief valve 107 is opened and the fluids are discharged to the outside of the body 100 through the bypass outlet 106.
At this point, the fluids discharged to the outside of the body 100 are added back into the storage tank T.
In the above-described structure in which the pair of pistons 200 are alternately and repeatedly moved upward and downward by the handle 300 so that fluids are suctioned into the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 or fluids in the high and low pressure side fluid supply grooves 102 and 101 are discharged through the fluid outlet 104, a user pumps the handle 300 to operate the pair of pistons 200 at the same time such that supply and discharge of fluids simultaneously occur, and when the fluids are discharged and a pressure in the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101 is increased to be greater than a predetermined pressure, the relief valve 107 is opened to bypass the fluids inside the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101 to the storage tank T, the pressure in the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101 is decreased by bypassing of the fluids inside the low pressure side fluid supply groove 101, a pressure applied to the handle 300 is rapidly decreased by a decrease in the pressure, and thus the user may easily pump the handle 300.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, a user pumps the handle to operate the pair of pistons at the same time to simultaneously supply and discharge fluids, and when the fluids are discharged and a pressure in the low pressure side fluid supply groove is increased to be greater than a predetermined pressure, the relief valve is opened to bypass fluids inside low pressure side fluid supply groove to the storage tank T, the pressure in the low pressure side fluid supply groove is decreased by bypassing of the fluids inside the low pressure side fluid supply groove, a pressure applied to the handle is rapidly decreased by a decrease in the pressure, and thus the user may easily pump the handle. Accordingly, there is an advantage in that a user easily pushes fluids inside the high pressure side fluid supply groove to sequentially push the fluids through the fluid outlet such that the reliability of a product is improved.
The above-described hydraulic double-acting hand pump according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the technical sprit covers a range in which the embodiment may be variously modified and practiced by those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention defined by the appended claims.
