Abstract
The present invention discloses an electromagnetic air pump including an air chamber operable to be compressed or expanded. The air chamber is defined by a platform surface and a rubber cap operable to be pressed downward. The rubber cap includes a support and a cover. During the operation of the electromagnetic air pump, the cover is configured to bear against the support with the platform surface when the cover is pressed downward. When the air chamber is compressed or expanded, each pair of geometrically symmetrical parts of the cover corresponds to a pair of displacement changes relative to the platform surface, wherein a difference between the pair of displacement changes is not greater than 5%. Thus, the rubber cap is provided with an effect of a substantially uniform stress.
Claims9
An electromagnetic air pump, comprising:
- a swing arm driven by a force generated by an electromagnetic field;
- a cylinder base having a platform surface, wherein a first end of the swing arm is rotatably disposed on the cylinder base, a second end of the swing arm opposite to the first end is provided with a magnetic element for the swing arm, when controlled by a coil, to correspondingly press downward or lift the cover, a height of the platform surface of the cylinder base near the first end is greater than a height of the platform surface of the cylinder base near the second end, and the platform surface appears as an inclined surface;
- and
- an air chamber operable to be compressed or expanded, defined by the platform surface and a rubber cap operable to be compressed downward by the swing arm, the rubber cap comprising a support and a cover, the cover configured to bear against the support with the platform surface when compressed by the swing arm during an operation of the electromagnetic air pump;
- wherein when the air chamber is compressed or expanded, each pair of geometrically symmetrical parts of the cover corresponds to a pair of displacement changes relative to the platform surface, and a difference between the pair of displacement changes is not greater than 5%, so as to achieve an effect of a uniform stress upon the cover.
An electromagnetic air pump, comprising:
- a cylinder base having a platform, a height of the platform of the cylinder base near the first end of the swing arm is greater than a height of the platform near the second end of the swing arm, and the platform appears as an inclined surface;
- a rubber cap defining an air chamber between a bottom portion thereof and the platform;
- and
- a swing arm, a first end of thereof rotatably disposed on the cylinder base, and a second end thereof provided with a magnetic element for the swing arm to be controlled by a coil and corresponding press downward or lift the rubber cap;
- wherein when the rubber cap is pressed downward and the swing arm reaches substantially maximum downward displacement, a compression stroke on a first side of the rubber cap near the first end is substantially equal to a compression stroke on a second side near the second end, so as to achieve a substantially uniform stress on the first and second sides of the rubber cap.
An electromagnetic air pump, comprising:
- a cylinder base having two platforms configured on two opposite sides;
- a rubber cap set comprising two rubber caps respectively disposed on the two corresponding platforms on the two opposite sides of the cylinder base, and each of the rubber cap defines an air chamber between a bottom portion thereof and the correspondingly abutted platform;
- a swing arm set comprising two swing arms, a first end of each of the swing arms rotatably disposed on the cylinder base, and a second end of each of the swing arms provided with a magnetic element, the swing arms connected to the corresponding rubber caps;
- and
- a coil set facing the magnetic elements and configured to generate a magnetic force when energized so as to rotate the swing arms and to correspondingly compress or lift the rubber caps;
- wherein platform surfaces of the two platforms of the cylinder base are non-parallel to each other, such that an effect of a substantially uniform stress is achieved when the rubber caps are compressed by rotations of the swing arms.
