The foregoing issues of overall “resonant shakes” and the “water leakage” for the conventional five-compressing-chamber diaphragm pump incurred by the foregoing primary vibrating drawback are also happened in the piston valvular assembly 900. Therefore, how to substantially reduce all the drawbacks associated with the operating vibration for the five-compressing-chamber diaphragm pump becomes an urgent and critical issue indeed.
The primary object is to provide a vibration-reducing structure for five-compressing-chamber diaphragm pump features of a pump head body and a diaphragm membrane, where the pump head body includes five operating holes and a basic curved dent circum-disposed around the upper side of each operating hole while the diaphragm membrane includes five equivalent piston acting zones each of which with a acting zone hole, an annular positioning protrusion for each acting zone hole formed, and a basic curved protrusion circum-disposed around each concentric annular positioning protrusion in corresponding position with each mating basic curved dent in the pump head body so that five basic curved protrusions completely insert into corresponding five basic curved dents with a short length of moment arm in generating less torque, which is obtained by length of moment arm multiplying a constant acting force and primarily causes adverse vibration. With less torque, the vibration strength of the compressing diaphragm pump is substantially reduced.
The other object is to provide a vibration-reducing structure for five-compressing-chamber diaphragm pump features of a pump head body with five basic curved dents and a diaphragm membrane with five basic curved protrusions such that five basic curved protrusions completely insert into corresponding five basic curved dents with a short length of moment arm in generating less torque, which is obtained by length of moment arm multiplying a constant acting force and primarily causes adverse vibration. With less torque, the vibration strength of the compressing diaphragm pump is substantially reduced. Having the present invention installed on the housing of the reverse osmosis purification unit on the water supplying apparatus in either the settled home or mobile home pillowed by a conventional cushion base with rubber shock absorber, the harassing noise of the “resonant shakes” incurred in the conventional compressing diaphragm pump can be completely eliminated.

Comparing to the operation of conventional five-compressing-chamber diaphragm pump, a length of moment arm L1 from the outer raised brim 71 to the peripheral of the annular positioning protruding block 76 in the diaphragm membrane 70 is obtained (as shown in
By illustration of foregoing comparative result, it apparently shows that the length of moment arm L2 is shorter than the length of moment arm L1 (as shown in
While the resultant torque is calculated by same acting force F multiplying the length of moment arm, the resultant torque of the present invention is smaller than that of the conventional five-compressing-chamber diaphragm pump since the length of moment arm L2 is shorter than the length of moment arm L1.
With the smaller resultant torque of the present invention, the vibration strength related is substantially reduced.
Through practical pilot test for the sample of the present invention, the result shows that the vibration strength related is less than one tenth (10%) of vibration strength in the conventional five-compressing-chamber diaphragm pump.
