Abstract
A valve core assembly includes an eccentric wheel including a shaft body, a support mechanism sleeved on the shaft body, and a diaphragm connected to the support mechanism. An included angle is formed between an axis of the shaft body and a rotation axis of the eccentric wheel. A contact surface of the support mechanism that contacts the diaphragm extends towards a direction away from the diaphragm in a radial direction of the shaft body from outside to inside.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A valve core assembly comprising:
an eccentric wheel including a shaft body, an included angle being formed between an axis of the shaft body and a rotation axis of the eccentric wheel; a support mechanism sleeved on the shaft body; and a diaphragm connected to the support mechanism; wherein a contact surface of the support mechanism that contacts the diaphragm extends towards a direction away from the diaphragm in a radial direction of the shaft body from outside to inside.
2 . The valve core assembly according to claim 1 , wherein:
the included angle is a first included angle; and the contact surface is a planar surface forming a second angle with a reference plane perpendicular to the axis of the shaft body.
3 . The valve core assembly according to claim 2 , wherein, the second included angle is X times of the first included angle, and 0.5≤X≤1.5.
4 . The valve core assembly according to claim 1 , wherein:
the eccentric wheel further includes a shaft hole in the eccentric wheel; and an axis of the shaft hole coincides with the rotation axis.
5 . The valve core assembly according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a drive shaft passing through the shaft hole; and a drive member connected to the drive shaft.
6 . The valve core assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a bearing sleeved on the eccentric wheel; wherein the support mechanism is sleeved on the bearing.
7 . The valve core assembly according to claim 6 , further comprising:
a first convex rib provided at the support mechanism; and a second convex rib provided at the eccentric wheel; wherein two end surfaces of the bearing abut the first convex rib and the second convex rib, respectively.
8 . The valve core assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the support mechanism includes:
a base having an annular shape, an axis of the base coinciding with the axis of the shaft body; and at least three positioning members arranged at the base, the diaphragm being connected to end surfaces of the at least three positioning members.
9 . The valve core assembly according to claim 8 , wherein contact surfaces of the at least three positioning members that contact the support mechanism intersect at a same intersection point located on the axis of the base.
10 . The valve core assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the at least three positioning members are arranged uniformly at the base in a same circle centered at the axis of the base.
11 . The valve core assembly according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a compression member provided at and abutting a side of the diaphragm away from the at least three positioning members, and configured to compress the diaphragm on the at least three positioning members.
12 . The valve core assembly according to claim 11 , wherein:
the compression member is one of at least three compression members provided at and abutting the side of the diaphragm away from the at least three positioning members; and a number of the at least three compression members is equal to a number of the at least three positioning members, and the at least three compression members and the at least three positioning member are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner.
13 . A booster pump comprising:
a housing having a cavity; a valve core assembly provided in the cavity and including:
an eccentric wheel including a shaft body, an included angle being formed between an axis of the shaft body and a rotation axis of the eccentric wheel;
a support mechanism sleeved on the shaft body; and
a diaphragm connected to the support mechanism; wherein:
a contact surface of the support mechanism that contacts the diaphragm extends towards a direction away from the diaphragm in a radial direction of the shaft body from outside to inside; and
the diaphragm is connected to the housing, and the cavity is partitioned by the diaphragm.
14 . The booster pump according to claim 13 , wherein the housing includes an inlet and an outlet, and the inlet and the outlet communicate with the cavity at a side of the diaphragm away from the support mechanism.
15 . A water purifier comprising:
a booster pump including:
a housing having a cavity;
a valve core assembly provided in the cavity and including:
an eccentric wheel including a shaft body, an included angle being formed between an axis of the shaft body and a rotation axis of the eccentric wheel;
a support mechanism sleeved on the shaft body; and
a diaphragm connected to the support mechanism; wherein:
a contact surface of the support mechanism that contacts the diaphragm extends towards a direction away from the diaphragm in a radial direction of the shaft body from outside to inside; and
the diaphragm is connected to the housing, and the cavity is partitioned by the diaphragm.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
