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. An intersection point of the rotation axis and the axis of the shaft body is located on a surface of the diaphragm or within the diaphragm.
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 an intersection point of the rotation axis and the axis of the shaft body is located on a surface of the diaphragm or within the diaphragm.
2 . The valve core assembly according to claim 1 , wherein:
a contact surface, on the support mechanism, that contacts the diaphragm is a planar surface; and in a radial direction of the shaft body from outside to inside, the contact surface inclines towards a direction away from the diaphragm.
3 . The valve core assembly according to claim 2 , wherein a ratio X of an included angle between the contact surface and a reference plane perpendicular to the axis of the shaft body to the included angle between the axis of the shaft body and the rotation axis satisfies 0.5≤X≤1.5.
4 . The valve core assembly according to claim 2 , 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; and
the diaphragm is connected to at least one of end surfaces of the at least three positioning members.
5 . The valve core assembly according to claim 4 , wherein:
the intersection point is a first intersection point; and contact surfaces of the at least three positioning members intersect at a second intersection point located on the axis of the base.
6 . The valve core assembly according to claim 5 , wherein a distance between the first intersection point and the second intersection point in a direction of the rotation axis is less than or equal to a length of the diaphragm in the direction of the rotation axis.
7 . The valve core assembly according to claim 4 , 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 at least one of the at least three positioning members.
8 . The valve core assembly according to claim 7 , 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 members are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner.
9 . The valve core assembly according to claim 1 , wherein, the eccentric wheel further includes:
a shaft hole in the eccentric wheel, an axis of the shaft hole coinciding with the rotation axis.
10 . The valve core assembly according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a bearing sleeved on the eccentric wheel; wherein the support mechanism is sleeved on the bearing.
11 . The valve core assembly according to claim 10 , 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.
12 . The valve core assembly according to claim 9 , further comprising:
a drive shaft passing through the shaft hole; and a drive member connected to the drive shaft.
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:
an intersection point of the rotation axis and the axis of the shaft body is located on a surface of the diaphragm or within the diaphragm; 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 further 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:
an intersection point of the rotation axis and the axis of the shaft body is located on a surface of the diaphragm or within the diaphragm; and
the diaphragm is connected to the housing, and the cavity is partitioned by the diaphragm.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
