Abstract

A diaphragm type pressurized pump comprises a hollow cylinder formed on the top surface of each piston acting region of the diaphragm sheet. A piston head pushing chunk is disposed on the diaphragm sheet such that a ladder hole in the piston head pushing chunk receives the hollow cylinder. A fixing screw is driven via the center of the hollow cylinder into the threaded hole on each wobble plate. As a result of driving the fixing screw, the upper portion of the hollow cylinder expands thereby deforming and filling up the space between the bottom surface of the head of the fixing screw and the top surface of the ladder hole of the piston head pushing chunk, and thus preventing water from leaking and seeping into the motor of the pump.

Claims

1. A method of preventing water from leaking in a diaphragm type pressurized pump, comprising the steps of:

providing a motor and a plurality of wobble plates driven by said motor, each wobble plate including a threaded hole formed therein;

providing a diaphragm sheet having a plurality of piston acting regions corresponding respectively to the plurality of wobble plates, each piston acting region including a hollow cylinder formed on a top surface of the piston acting region and corresponding to a respective threaded hole;

disposing a plurality of piston head pushing chunks respectively on the piston acting regions such that a ladder hole formed in each piston head pushing chunk receives a respective hollow cylinder, the hollow cylinders protruding upwardly from the piston head pushing chunks, each ladder hole having a flange member formed at a bottom portion of the ladder hole;

driving a fixing screw through the ladder hole in each piston head pushing chunk and a center hole in each hollow cylinder such that the fixing screw engages the threaded hole in the wobble plate;

causing the hollow cylinder to deform as the fixing screw in driven such that an upper portion of the hollow cylinder is sandwiched between a bottom surface of a head of the fixing screw and the flange member of the ladder hole to seal the threaded hole from water.

2. The method as claim in claim 1, wherein the hollow cylinder and the diaphragm sheet are made of an extruded unitary molded body of an elastic plastic material, and an outer diameter of the hollow cylinder is equivalent to or smaller than an internal diameter of the ladder hole.
