  • Patent number: 10001118
    Abstract: A rapid-discharge-valve structural body (2) allows air to flow from an input-side space (9A) to an output-side space (9B) in accordance with the flow rate of air to be supplied to a supply passage (101). Accordingly, the flow rate of air to be discharged from a discharge passage (113) also changes. As a consequence, flow rate peaking can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 9951769
    Abstract: A diaphragm pump includes a quick discharge valve unit that comprises a vessel including a supply passage, a check valve seat, a delivery passage and a discharge passage, and an elastic member configured to partition an internal space of the vessel into an input-side space connected to the supply passage and an output-side space connected to the delivery passage and the discharge passage. The elastic member includes a check valve body to prevent an inflow of air from the output-side space to the input-side space, and a discharge port valve body configured to close the discharge passage when air is supplied to the input-side space through the supply passage. The vessel includes a connecting path having a sectional area smaller than an area of a section of the supply passage, and configured to release pressurized air in the input-side space to an outside.

  • Patent number: 9453504
    Abstract: This invention provides a diaphragm pump that decreases the number of components or improves workability in assembling. A crank (4) to which the output shaft (2a) of a motor (2) is pivotally attached has, in its upper surface, a ring-shaped insertion groove (5) with respect to the output shaft (2a) as the center. A projecting driving shaft (9b) is formed integrally with a driver (7). When the lower end (9c) of the driving shaft (9b) is inserted into the insertion groove (5), the axis (9d) tilts. When the crank (4) rotates, an engaging portion provided in the insertion groove (5) engages with the lower end (9c). The driving shaft (9b) rotates while changing the tilt direction of the axis (9d) following the rotation of the crank (4). Hence, when a diaphragm portion (12a) attached to the drive element (7a) of the driver (7) moves upward/downward, a pump chamber (18) expands/contracts so that a pump action is obtained.
