Abstract

A compressing diaphragm pump having automatic air expelling and pressure abnormal-preventing features for spray use has a hollow tubular air discharge assembly having a plunger body and compressed spring as well as an air passage pierced at the wall of the water exit port and an air discharge orifice pierced of the central top surface of the air discharge assembly for connecting with the plunger body. When air is mixed within the pressurized water, the resilient force of the compressed spring is bigger than the water pressure of the pressurized water. This allows the air mixed in the pressurized water to get into the air passage and pass the plunger opening of the plunger body via through pore, and is dispelled out of the upper hood via the air discharge orifice of the air discharge assembly.

Claims (11)

1. A compressing diaphragm pump having automatic air expelling feature for spray use comprises:

a motor;

an upper hood chassis disposed along the top of the output shaft of said motor, said upper hood chassis comprising plural screw bores formed on an outer rim;

multiple wobble wheels are pivoted on said upper hood chassis to serve as the pumping action in manner from axial reciprocal wobbling movement being driven by the output shaft of said motor;

a diaphragm covering said upper hood chassis;

a piston valve inset in said diaphragm;

an anti-backflow plastic gasket with three piston slices closely fixed on said piston valve respectively and an upper hood,

wherein an air discharge assembly and a plunger body are disposed at the wall of the water exit port of the upper hood,

wherein said air discharge assembly, which is a hollow tube, has a pair of first air discharge cylinder and second air discharge cylinder running freely through each other disposed on the upper section and lower section thereof respectively such that the diameter of the first air discharge cylinder being larger than that of the second air discharge cylinder,

wherein an air passage is pierced at the wall between the first air discharge cylinder and the water exit port of the top upper hood as well as an air discharge orifice is pierced of the central top surface of the air discharge assembly facing towards the second air discharge cylinder, and said plunger body, which is a hollow tube with a top plunger opening and a bottom plunger baffle with outer diameter of the plunger opening is smaller than that of the plunger baffle, has a compressed spring disposed therein from the plunger opening facing inwards and a through pore pierced on the wall thereof near the plunger baffle as well as an O-ring gasket rimmed thereon the peripheral between the through pore and the plunger baffle, wherein, both of the plunger opening and the plunger baffle are inset in the second air discharge cylinder and first air discharge cylinder of the air discharge assembly respectively.

2. The compressing diaphragm pump having automatic air expelling feature for spray use as recited in the claim 1 , wherein, both of the air discharge assembly and upper hood are designed into detachable manner instead of permanently connecting status each other by having a fitting connector configured at the bottom of the air discharge assembly with an internal tiered bore therein for connecting to the first air discharge cylinder via the air passage as well as a threaded union respectively formed on each end thereof.
