In order to make objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following further describes the present disclosure in detail with reference to accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present disclosure, but not to limit the present disclosure.
As shown in
A pressing position and a liquid outlet position are respectively disposed on two ends of the outer pipe, so the user will not easily touch the liquid outlet position when pressing the press liquid pump, thereby avoiding contamination of the liquid outlet position due to the user's touch. The inner pipe stores the liquid very well, and by providing the outer pipe, it not only satisfies a pressing function, but also protects the inner pipe well.
The vacuum pump head 3 comprises a fixing portion 8, a main spring 9, the pressing portion 5, and the liquid outlet pipe 4. A first pressing groove 10 is defined on one end of the fixing portion 8 facing the first opening 6. A first end of the liquid outlet pipe 4 is disposed outside the outer pipe 1. A second end of the liquid outlet pipe 4 is communicated with the first pressing groove 10. A first end of the pressing portion 5 is slidably disposed in the first pressing groove 10. A second pressing groove 11 is defined on the first end of the pressing portion 5. The first pressing groove 10 is matched with the second pressing groove 11 to form a pumping cavity. A second end of the pressing portion 5 defines a liquid inlet 12 communicated with the second pressing groove 11.
A first end of the main spring 9 is connected with a groove bottom of the first pressing groove 10. A second end of the main spring is connected with a groove bottom of the second pressing groove. A first check valve is disposed in the liquid inlet 12. The first check valve is configured to unidirectionally communicate the liquid inlet 12 to the second pressing groove 11. A second check valve is disposed in the liquid outlet pipe 4. The second check valve is configured to unidirectionally communicate the first pressing groove 10 to the liquid outlet pipe 4.
By arrangements of the first check valve and the second check valve, when the inner pipe 2 is pressed towards the vacuum pump head 3, the pressing portion 5 moves towards the fixing portion 8, the main spring 9 is compressed, a space of the pumping cavity is reduced, and air in the pumping cavity is discharged through the second check valve. When the inner pipe 2 is released, the main spring 9 pushes the pressing portion 5 to move away from the fixing portion 8, the liquid in the inner pipe 2 enters the pumping cavity through the first check valve, and the space of the pumping cavity is increased. After reciprocating times of pressing, the liquid in the pumping cavity is discharged through the second check valve, so as to realize discharge of the liquid in the inner pipe 2.
As shown in
When the press liquid pump of the present disclosure is in use, the liquid outlet pipe 4 is in a horizontal state, vertically upward or vertically downward, so in order to ensure that the first check valve works normally in any posture, a structure of the first check valve is well designed. Therefore, under normal conditions, the first ball 13 remains in contact with the liquid inlet 12 to seal the liquid inlet 12 due to thrust of the first auxiliary spring 14, thereby preventing the liquid in the pumping cavity from flowing back into the inner pipe 2 and preventing the liquid in the inner pipe 2 from flowing into the pumping cavity. When the space of the pumping cavity increases, due to the vacuum effect, the liquid in the inner pipe 2 enters the pumping cavity. At this time, the liquid in the inner pipe 2 pushes away the first ball 13, causing the first ball to 13 compresses the first auxiliary spring 14 so that the liquid in the inner pipe 2 normally enters the pumping cavity.
Furthermore, the liquid outlet pipe 4 is communicated with the groove bottom of the first pressing groove 10 through a one-way cavity 16. The second check valve is disposed in the one-way cavity 16.
The second check valve comprises a second ball 17, a second auxiliary spring 18, and a second limiting bracket 19. A first end of the one-way cavity 16 is communicated with the liquid outlet pipe 4, and a second end of the one-way cavity 16 is communicated with the groove bottom of the first pressing groove 10 through a liquid outlet 20. The second limiting bracket 19 is disposed in the one-way cavity 16. The second limiting bracket 19 is connected with a cavity wall of the one-way cavity 16. A second gap is defined between the second limiting bracket 19 and the liquid outlet 20. The second ball 17 is movably disposed in the second gap. A diameter of the second ball 17 is greater than a diameter of the liquid outlet 20. A first end of the second auxiliary spring 18 is connected with the second auxiliary bracket 19, and a second end of the second auxiliary spring 18 is connected with the second ball 17. The second auxiliary spring 18 is configured to push the second ball 17 to seal the liquid outlet 20.
A principle of the second check valve is same a principle of the first check valve. Both of the first check valve and the second check valve are configured to enable the press liquid pump to be used normally in any posture. When the space of the pumping cavity is compressed, since the first ball 13 seals the liquid inlet 12, the liquid in the pumping cavity only pushes the second ball 17, causing the second ball 17 to compress the second auxiliary spring 18, so that the liquid in the pumping cavity is allowed to enter the liquid outlet pipe 4.
Furthermore, a first thread structure is disposed on an inner wall of the second opening 7. A second thread structured matched with the first thread structure is disposed on an outer wall of the pressing portion 5. When the inner pipe 2 is connected with the pressing portion 5, the inner pipe 2 is sleeved on an outer wall of the pressing portion 5 from the second opening 7, and the first thread structure is screwed with the second thread structure. By providing the first thread structure and the second thread structure, during an assembly process, liquid is first injected into the inner pipe 2, and then the inner pipe 2 is assembled with the outer pipe 1 through the first thread structure and the second thread structure.
Furthermore, a pressing pipe 21 is mounted at the first end of the inner pipe 2 away from the vacuum pump head 3. One end of the pressing pipe 21 defines a third opening 22. The pressing pipe 21 is sleeved on an outer wall of the inner pipe 2 from the third opening 22. A second end of the pressing pipe 21 is disposed outside the outer pipe 1. A pressing cover 23 is disposed on an outer side of the pressing pipe 21.
By providing the pressing pipe 21, the inner pipe 2 is prevented from being directly exposed to the outside of the outer pope and the inner pipe 2 is prevented from damage caused by collision, thereby protecting the inner pipe 2.
Furthermore, a boss 24 is disposed on the second end of the pressing pipe 21. The boss 24 is connected with the pressing cover 23 through threads. The pressing pipe 21 comprises air holes 25 running through an inner side and the outer side of the pressing pipe 21. The air holes 25 are defined on an end portion of the pressing pipe 21 where the boss is connected.
The pressing cover 23 improves a comfort of pressing the press liquid pump. When assembling the pressing pipe 21, since the pressing pipe 21 is directly sleeved on the outer side of the inner pipe 2, air in the pressing pipe 21 cannot be discharged normally from the third opening 22 during assembly, causing a pressure inside the pressing pipe 21 to be greater than an outside world pressure and causing assembly instability. By providing the air holes 25, excess air in the pressing pipe 21 is effectively discharged, so that the pressing pipe 21 and the inner pipe 2 are stably installed.
Furthermore, the first end of the outer pipe 1 connected with the vacuum pump head 3 is detachably connected with a pipe cap 26. The pipe cap 26 is configured to protect the liquid outlet pipe 4. By providing the pipe cap 26, the liquid outlet pipe 4 is well protected when the press liquid pump is not in use.
The press liquid pump in the embodiment 1 may be used as a packaging bottle for smoking cessation oil, and the smoking cessation oil is stored in the inner pipe 2. When the smoking cessation oil needs to be used, the pressing pipe 21 is pressed to push the inner pipe 2 to move in the outer pipe 1, so that the smoking cessation oil in the inner pipe 2 is injected into a cigarette filter tip through the liquid outlet pipe 4. Since an output of the smoking cessation oil is well controlled every time of pressing, the press liquid pump provided by the present disclosure is convenient to carry and use the smoking cessation oil.
