  • Patent number: 6481982
    Abstract: A diaphragm pump, in which a working fluid control valve (D) opens a working fluid make-up passage (B24) to prevent a diaphragm (C) from being damaged when an excessive discharge pressure acts on the diaphragm. The working fluid control valve (D) for opening and closing the working fluid make-up passage (B24) is provided with a valve disc formed to be capable of reciprocating relative to the diaphragm (C) in a valve disc receiving chamber (B2) to close an opening of the valve disc receiving chamber (B2), means for biasing the valve disc toward the diaphragm, and means for closing the working fluid make-up passage (B24) when a distance, over which the valve disc extends from the opening of the valve disc receiving chamber, exceeds a predetermined value.
