Abstract

Pumps with housing and a diaphragms located within the housing are disclosed herein. A diaphragm connected to an actuator separates the housing into a first chamber and a second chamber. Each chamber includes a one-way inlet valve and a one-way outlet valve. Movement of the actuator in a first direction causes the volume of the first chamber to contract and causes the first fluid to be expelled from the first chamber while causing the volume of the second chamber to expand and draw in the second fluid through the second one-way inlet valve. Movement of the actuator in the second direction has the opposite effect causing the first fluid to be drain to the first chamber and the second fluid to be expelled through the second one-way outlet valve. The first fluid and second fluid combine in a mixing chamber and form a foam, which is expelled at an outlet.

Detailed description of the invention
Fig. 1 illustrates the schematic diagram of pumping system 100.Pumping system 100 comprises pump 101.Pump 101 has shell 102.Shell 102 is divided into the first chamber 112 and the second chamber 114 by barrier film 104.Barrier film 104 can be made up of any flexible material, such as, as thin elastomeric material, plastics, rubber or even foil).Such as the actuator of piston 106 is connected to barrier film 104, and extends through shell 102.Containment member 108 forms Fluid Sealing between piston 106 and shell 102.This pumping system can be used for wall mounted type dispenser, Table top type distributor or personal handhold distributor.
First chamber 112 has one-way inlet valve 120, enters pump 101 and prevent the fluid in the first chamber 112 from flowing out the first chamber 112 to make first fluid.First chamber 112 also comprises unidirectional outlet valve 140, enters hybrid chamber 144 to make fluid flow out the first chamber 112 by pipe 142.Similarly, the second chamber 114 comprises one-way inlet valve 130 and the unidirectional outlet valve 146 for making fluid enter the second chamber 114.Unidirectional outlet valve 146 makes fluid flow out the second chamber 114 by pipe 148 and enter hybrid chamber 144.Above-mentioned one-way inlet valve and unidirectional outlet valve can be the check valves of any type, such as, and Mushroom valve, push-pull valve, plug valve, umbrella valve, lift valve, duckbill valve etc.Outlet nozzle 150 is positioned at the downstream of hybrid chamber, for distributing the foam formed by two kinds of combination of fluids.In certain embodiments, outlet nozzle 150 comprises a succession of baffle plate (not shown), to increase the turbulent flow of mixing when two kinds of fluids pass through and mix.In certain embodiments, this nozzle is thin-and-long, and makes two kinds of fluid chemical field together.
Pumping system 100 also comprises the first fluid reservoir 124 for holding first fluid and the second fluid reservoir 134 for holding second fluid.First fluid reservoir 124 is communicated with the first chamber 112 fluid with one-way inlet valve 120 by pipe 122.Second fluid reservoir 134 is communicated with the second chamber 114 fluid with inlet valve 130 by pipe 132.In certain embodiments, pump 101 is directly connected in first fluid reservoir 124 and second fluid reservoir 134.Alternatively, this system is squeezed, and pump 101 is directly connected in first fluid reservoir 124 and second fluid reservoir 134, because fluid flows into the first chamber 112 and the second chamber 114 due to gravity, so can not need pipe 122 and pipe 132.In one embodiment, first fluid reservoir 124 and second fluid reservoir 134 are telescopic, because reservoir described in fluid sucking-off is not needed pipe 122 and pipe 132 by vacuum pressure.
