A miniature electromagnetic water pump, as shown in
As shown in
The external liquid is pumped into the pump body 1 under the drive of the magnetic core plunger device, and the liquid in the pump body 1 is further pumped into the liquid inlet hole 5, and flow into the first flow restricting cavity 8 of the throttle valve device through the liquid inlet hole 5, the liquid in the first flow restricting cavity 8 further flows into the buffer channel 10 through the liquid inlet 11, flows into the second flow restricting cavity 9 through the liquid outlet 12, and is finally discharged from the liquid discharging opening 13.
In the present utility model, the rubber sheet 6 with certain elasticity is arranged in the throttle valve cover 4, when the pressure of the first flow restricting cavity 8 is greater than or less than the pressure of the second flow restricting cavity 9, the forces on both sides of the rubber sheet 6 are not equal, the rubber sheet 6 will bend in the direction away from the flow restricting ring 7 or close to the flow restricting ring 7, which increases or decreases the size of the gap between the rubber sheet 6 and the flow restricting ring 7, thereby increasing or reducing the flow rate of the liquid flowing from the first flow restricting cavity 8 into the buffer channel 10 per unit time, and then increasing or decreasing the flow rate of the liquid flowing from the buffer channel 10 into the second flow restricting cavity 9 per unit time, since the speed of the liquid flowing from the liquid inlet hole 5 into the first flow restricting cavity 8 remains basically unchanged, increasing or decreasing the liquid discharge velocity in the first flow restricting cavity 8 will correspondingly reduce or increase the pressure of the first flow restricting cavity 8, thus, the pressure in the first flow restricting cavity 8 is increased or decreased to be equal to the pressure in the second flow restricting cavity 9, at this time, the size of the gap between the rubber sheet 6 and the flow restricting ring 7 is in a stable state, and the pressure in the first flow restricting cavity 8 and the second flow restricting cavity 9 is also in a stable state, thus, the flow rate of the liquid discharged from the liquid discharging opening 13 of the second flow restricting cavity 9 is relatively stable.
Therefore, in the present utility model, the rubber sheet 6 with a certain elasticity is arranged in the throttle valve cover 4 such that the throttle valve device can be self-adjusted according to the pressure in the first flow restricting cavity 8 and the second flow restricting cavity 9 to keep the pressure in the second flow restricting cavity 9 in a stable state, thus, the flow rate of the liquid discharged from the liquid discharging opening 13 is stabilized, and since the liquid flows from the first flow restricting cavity 8 into the buffer channel 10 for buffering and deceleration and then flows into the second flow restricting cavity 9, the flow rate of the liquid flowing into the second flow restricting cavity 9 is lower, that is, the change in the flow rate of the liquid flowing into the second flow restricting cavity 9 per unit time is small, so that the pressure change in the second flow restricting cavity 9 per unit time is smaller, therefore, the change in the flow rate of the liquid discharged from the liquid discharging opening 13 is small. The buffer channel 10 also extends the flow path of the liquid, and the liquid filled in the buffer channel 10 can effectively improve the continuity of liquid discharge.
Specifically, as shown in
Specifically, the outer side wall of the throttle valve cover 4 is provided with a flow blocking component 14 for preventing the liquid in the buffer channel 10 from flowing back into the liquid inlet 11, the flow blocking component 14 is arranged between the liquid inlet 11 and the liquid outlet 12. When the throttle valve cover 4 is installed in the containing groove 3, the side surface of the flow blocking component 14 away from the outer side wall of the throttle valve cover 4 abuts against the inner side wall of the containing groove 3, so that the liquid can only flow into the buffer channel 10 from the liquid inlet 11, and then flow into the liquid outlet 12 from the buffer channel 10 for drainage, the liquid in the buffer channel 10 will not flow back into the first flow restricting cavity 8 from the liquid inlet 11, thereby being beneficial to improve the liquid discharge stability of the miniature electromagnetic water pump.
Specifically, a limiting ring 15 is provided along the circumferential direction of the inner side wall of the throttle valve cover 4, the limiting ring 15 is used to block the movement of the rubber sheet 6 towards the liquid outlet 12, and the limiting ring 15 is arranged between the liquid inlet 11 and the liquid outlet 12. The setting of the limiting ring 15 can prevent the rubber sheet 6 from moving towards the second limiting cavity 9 due to the excessive pressure in the first limiting cavity 8, thereby avoiding the movement of the rubber sheet 6 to the position of the liquid outlet 12 (this movement causes the liquid outlet 12 to be blocked), which is beneficial to ensure the smooth operation of the throttle valve device and improve the stability and continuity of liquid discharge.
Specifically, as shown in
Specifically, in order to clearly show the position of the liquid discharge for the users, the throttle valve cover 4 is provided with a drip tube 18, one end of the drip tube 18 is connected to the liquid discharging opening 13.
As shown in
The pump body 1 has a tubular structure with open ends, the two ends of the pump body 1 are the liquid inlet end 22 and the liquid outlet end 23, respectively, the magnetic core plunger device includes a core 24 slidably arranged in the pump body 1, a reset spring 25 connected to the liquid inlet end 22 of the pump body 1, which tends to move the core 24 toward the liquid outlet 23 of the pump body 1, a sleeve 26 arranged at the liquid outlet end 23 of the pump body 1, and a coupler 27 sleeved on the sleeve 26.
Specifically, the spring is arranged between the liquid inlet end 22 of the pump body 1 and the core 24, and when the reset spring 25 is in a natural state, the spring abuts the core 24. When the AC power supply externally connected to the coil 20 is in the half cycle of applying positive or negative current, the energized coil 20 generates a magnetic field force, and the generated magnetic field force drives the core 24 in the pump body 1 to move towards the liquid inlet end 22 of the pump body 1 and compress the reset spring 25, when the AC power supply is in the half cycle of applying no current, the coil 20 is de-energized, and the electromagnetic field force correspondingly disappears, so that the core 24 is pushed to move away from the liquid inlet end 22 of the pump body 1 under the action of the elastic force of the reset spring 25, thereby achieving the purpose of allowing the core 24 to reciprocate in the pump body 1.
Wherein, the core 24 is hollow inside and is formed with a flow channel 28 for liquid to flow through, the inner cavity between the end of the core 24 close to the discharge end 23 of the pump body 1 and the sleeve 26 constitutes a pressure cavity 29, one end of the coupler 27 close to the pump body 1 is fixedly connected to the housing 21 by bolts, and the other end extends in a direction away from the pump body 1 and forms a liquid outlet cavity 30 with the end of the sleeve 26 away from the pump body 1, an axial through hole 31 connecting the pressure cavity 29 and the liquid outlet cavity 30 is provided at one end of the sleeve 26 away from the pump body 1, the end of the coupler 27 away from the pump body 1 is connected to the throttle valve seat 2, and a first one-way valve 32 is provided at one end of the flow channel 28 close to the sleeve 26 for preventing the liquid in the liquid outlet cavity 30 from flowing back into the flow channel 28, a second one-way valve 35 is installed in the liquid outlet cavity 30 to prevent the liquid in the liquid outlet cavity 30 from flowing back into the pressure cavity 29, the liquid outlet cavity 30 is in communication with the containing groove 3 on the throttle valve seat 2 through the liquid inlet hole 5.
Since the first one-way valve 32 for preventing the liquid in the liquid cavity 30 from flowing back into the flow channel 28 is provided at one end of the flow channel 28 close to the sleeve 26, and the second one-way valve 35 is installed in the liquid outlet cavity 30 to prevent the liquid in the liquid outlet cavity 30 from flowing back into the pressure cavity 29, when the core 24 moves towards the liquid inlet end 22 of the pump body 1 under the action of the magnetic field force generated by the energized coil 20, the increase in the volume of the pressure cavity 29 formed between the first one-way valve 32 and the second one-way valve 35 causes the pressure in the pressure cavity 29 to decrease, at this time, the atmospheric pressure outside the miniature electromagnetic water pump is greater than the pressure in the pressure cavity 29, and the liquid outside the electromagnetic water pump enters the flow channel 28 of the core 24 through the liquid inlet end 22 of the water pump due to the pressure difference. The first one-way valve 32 is opened under the pressure difference so that the liquid flows from the flow channel 28 of the core 24 to the pressure cavity 29, when the alternating current is in the half cycle with no current, due to the disappearance of the electromagnetic field force, the core 24 moves in the direction of the pressure cavity 29 under the action of the reset spring 25, that is, it moves away from the liquid inlet end 22 of the pump body 1. The pressure in the pressure cavity 29 increases due to the decrease in its volume. When the pressure in the pressure cavity 29 is stronger than the pressure in the outlet cavity 30, the second one-way valve 35 is opened under the pressure of the pressure cavity 29, so that the liquid in the pressure cavity 29 flows from the circumferential through hole of the sleeve 26 into the liquid outlet cavity 30, and flows into the throttle valve device through the liquid inlet channel of the throttle valve seat 2. Working in this cyclical way, the water absorption and drainage process of the electromagnetic water pump are provided, so that the electromagnetic water pump can continuously discharge water.

Wherein, the second one-way valve 35 is provided at the connection between the axial through hole 31 of the sleeve 26 and the liquid outlet cavity 30, the second one-way valve 35 includes a sealant head 36 and a tower spring 37, the two ends of the tower spring 37 are respectively connected to the sealant head 36 and the coupler 27, the sealant head 36 is arranged between the sleeve 26 and the tower spring 37. The tower spring 37 applies a force to the sealant head 36 towards the sleeve 26, so that the sealant head 36 abuts against the sleeve 26 and blocks the circumferential through hole, when the pressure of the pressure cavity 29 in the sleeve 26 increases, the fluid in the pressure cavity 29 can overcome the pressure of the second one-way valve 35 to flow out from the pressure cavity 29, but the fluid in the liquid outlet cavity cannot flow back into the pressure cavity 29.
Wherein, a magnetic yoke ring 38 is provided between the framework 19 and the pump body 1. Preferably, two magnetic yoke rings 38 are provided, and a bushing 39 is also provided between the two magnetic yoke rings 38.
Wherein, the side of the throttle valve seat 2 close to the coupler 27 is provided with a connecting part 40 for connecting with the coupler 27, the connecting part 40 is threaded to the coupler 27, thereby facilitating the assembly of the coupler 27 and the throttle valve device and facilitating the maintenance or replacement of the throttle valve.
