The present application relates to the technical filed of daily chemical products, in particular to a pump head and a container with the pump head.
At present, a common pump-type toothpaste packaging requires a user to press a toothpaste pump head to squeeze out internal toothpaste. Compared with a traditional toothpaste tube, it is beneficial to squeeze out the toothpaste fully and simplify operation of taking out the toothpaste at the same time.
However, in the above related technology, when taking out the toothpaste from the pump-type toothpaste packaging on the market, the toothpaste can only be squeezed out by a relatively slow speed.
In order to solve the problem that the speed of squeezing out toothpaste is slow from the pump-type toothpaste packaging, the present application provides a pump head and a container with the pump head.
First, the present application provides a pump head, which adopts the following technical solutions.
A pump head includes a shell body. A suction chamber is provided in the shell body and unidirectionally communicated with outside; a piston body is slidably mounted in the suction chamber; a pump nozzle is slidably mounted on the shell body and connected with the piston body; a one-way valve is provided on the piston body; the piston body and the pump nozzle are configured to move together to squeeze a material in the suction chamber so that the material is pumped out via the one-way valve and the pump nozzle; a squeezing opening communicated with the pump nozzle is provided on the piston body; the one-way valve is configured to close the squeezing opening; and a side surface of the piston body configuring for squeezing the material in the suction chamber is configured as a squeezing surface, and the squeezing surface is inclined from a position away from the squeezing opening toward a position close to the squeezing opening.
In the above technical solution, for pumping the material, a user presses the pump nozzle, which is moved to drive the piston body to slide in the suction chamber to squeeze the materials in the filler chamber. The materials is pumped out through the squeezing opening and the pump nozzle after being squeezed. After pumping, the pump nozzle is moved reversely to drive the piston body to move reversely, and the material is supplemented into the suction chamber from outside. By the providing of the one-way valve in the squeezing opening, the material squeezed and pumped out of the squeezing opening will not return to the suction chamber due to the blocking of the one-way valve. In a next pumping operation, the user can quickly extract the material remaining outside the squeezing opening by pressing the pump nozzle. In addition, because the squeezing surface of the piston body is inclined from the position away from the squeezing opening toward the position close to the squeezing opening, the material in the squeezing opening in the suction chamber can be squeezed and guided to the squeezing opening, and pumped out through the squeezing opening and the pump nozzle. It solves the problem that the speed of the material being squeezed and pumped out is slow.
In some embodiments, a filler chamber is formed by the squeezing surface and an inner wall of the suction chamber, and a sunk portion extending toward the filler chamber is formed on the piston body.
In the above technical solution, the providing of the sunk portion reduces the volume of the suction chamber to a certain extent, and reduces a distance between the squeezing surface of the piston body and the bottom wall of the squeezing chamber. The providing of the inclined squeezing surface not only improves the transverse squeezing speed of the material in the filler chamber, but also improves the longitudinal squeezing speed of the material in the filler chamber.
In some embodiments, the squeezing surface is inclined in a direction from the sunk portion to the squeezing opening.
In the above technical solution, when pumping, the sunk portion rapidly squeezes the material, while the inclined surface of the squeezing surface rapidly guides the material to the squeezing opening, that is, the speed of squeezing and pumping out the material is increased by a combination of the longitudinal rapid squeezing and the transverse rapid guiding.
In some embodiments, a side surface of the piston body away from the squeezing surface is configured as a negative pressure surface, a negative pressure chamber is formed by the negative pressure surface and an inner wall of the suction chamber, and the squeezing surface is inclined in a direction from a position away from the squeezing opening towards the negative pressure chamber.

In some embodiments, a recess is formed at a position of the sunk portion away from the filler chamber, and a stiffener is formed in the recess.
In the above technical solution, the recess corresponds to the sunk portion, and the stiffener in the recess can improve the structural strength of the sunk portion. In the process of squeezing and pumping the material by the piston body, the anti-squeezing performance of the piston body, especially the sunk portion, can be improved.

To a certain extend, the material replenished to the peripheral position pushes the material initially in the suction chamber to flow toward the central position, so as to achieve a purpose of rapidly filling the suction chamber.
In some embodiments, the one-way valve includes a mounting part fixed on the piston body; an arm portion is extended from the mounting part toward the squeezing opening, connected with a shielding part, the shielding part is made of an elastic material and configured to close the squeezing opening; the piston body and the pump nozzle are configured to move together to squeeze the material in the suction chamber so that the shielding part is elastically deformed due to squeezing by the material to open the squeezing opening.
In the above technical solution, when pumping the material, the material in the suction chamber squeezes the shielding part, and the shielding part is elastically deformed thereby to open the squeezing opening. After the pumping, the shielding part may be rapidly restored to close the squeezing opening, so as to achieve the purpose of unidirectional flow.
In some embodiments, the arm portion is made of an elastic material; the arm portion includes a rear arm integrated with the mounting part and a front arm integrated with the shielding part; and the rear arm and the front arm are integrated with each other in misaligned manner.
In the above technical solution, the arm portion includes the front arm and the rear arm, which are arranged in misaligned manner. When pumping the material, the arm portion and the shielding part can be subjected to a certain degree of elastic deformation, which is helpful to improve the smoothness of the material passing through the one-way valve, without affecting the sealing effect of the one-way valve closing the squeezing opening.
