Abstract

Proposed is a clutch cam for a pumping device, wherein the shape of the clutch cam and the coupling structure between the clutch cam and parts coupled thereto are changed to reduce manufacturing cost and improve assembly performance. The clutch cam includes: a cam part having a cam profile provided along an outer circumferential surface thereof relative to a rotating axis of a center thereof; a first protrusion part provided on a side of the cam part by protruding therefrom toward the lever bracket on the same rotating axis as the rotating axis, and fitted to a fixing hole provided in the lever bracket; and a second protrusion part provided on the side of the cam part by protruding therefrom toward the lever bracket on the same rotating axis as the rotating axis, and fitted to an angle determination hole provided in the housing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A clutch cam for a pumping device, the clutch cam configured to be disposed in a housing and coupled to a lever bracket such that the clutch cam rotates together with a lever, the clutch cam comprising:
a cam part having a cam profile provided along an outer circumferential surface thereof relative to a rotating axis of a center thereof;
a first protrusion part provided on a side of the cam part, protruding from the side toward the lever bracket, having the same rotating axis as the cam part, and fitted to a fixing hole provided in the lever bracket; and
a second protrusion part provided on the side of the cam part, protruding from the side toward the lever bracket, having the same rotating axis as the cam part, and fitted to an angle determination hole provided in the housing to be rotated relative to the rotating axis,
wherein, in a process of rotation of the second protrusion part, a portion of the second protrusion part is held by a portion of the angle determination hole such that a maximum rotational angle of the clutch cam is limited,
wherein the second protrusion part comprises:
a cylindrical part having the same rotating axis as the cam part and having a cylindrical shape; and
a stopper part provided on a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical part and protruding therefrom in a radial direction, and
wherein the angle determination hole comprises:
a cylinder part having the same rotating axis as the cam part and having a cylindrical shape such that the cylindrical part of the second protrusion part is fitted thereto; and
a piercing part provided in a shape in which a portion of an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder part is indented in an outer radial direction thereof to be provided at a position corresponding to the stopper part, and defining a section in which the stopper part can be rotated while tracing a predetermined rotation trajectory.

2. The clutch cam of claim 1 , wherein the second protrusion part is provided integrally on a surface of the side of the cam part and has a predetermined step, and the first protrusion part is provided integrally on a surface of a side of the second protrusion part and has a predetermined step.

3. The clutch cam of claim 1 , wherein the fixing hole is provided in a center of a lever bracket drum, an axial center of the fixing hole being coaxial with an axial center of the first protrusion part such that the first protrusion part is fitted to the fixing hole, and
the angle determination hole is provided in a center of a housing drum, an axial center of the angle determination hole being coaxial with an axial center of the second protrusion part such that the second protrusion part is fitted to the angle determination hole.

4. The clutch cam of claim 1 , wherein the fixing hole is provided in a key groove shape in the lever bracket, and
the first protrusion part is provided in a key shape corresponding to the key groove shape to be fitted to the fixing hole.

5. The clutch cam of claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion part passes through the angle determination hole, is fitted to the fixing hole, and is welded to the fixing hole.

6. The clutch cam of claim 1 , wherein the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical part is in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder part when the cylindrical part is coaxially fitted to the cylinder part.

7. The clutch cam of claim 1 , wherein a length of the piercing part in a circumferential direction thereof is configured to be longer than a length of the stopper part in a circumferential direction thereof, so a rotational section of the stopper part is provided.

8. The clutch cam of claim 7 , wherein the stopper part is provided in an arc shape relative to the rotating axis, and the piercing part is provided in an arc shape relative to the rotating axis,
wherein in a process of rotation of the stopper part, a side surface of the stopper part is supported by a side surface of the piercing part facing the side surface of the stopper part, so the rotation of the stopper part is limited.

9. The clutch cam of claim 8 , wherein the stopper part is rotated while a convex-curved surface having the arc shape of the stopper part is in contact with a concave-curved surface having the arc shape of the piercing part.

10. The clutch cam of claim 9 , wherein the convex-curved surface of the stopper part and the concave-curved surface of the piercing part are configured to have a same curvature.

11. The clutch cam of claim 8 , wherein the stopper part comprises a plurality of stoppers respectively arranged at a same interval along a circumferential direction of the cylindrical part, and
the piercing part comprises a plurality of piercing parts respectively arranged at a same interval at positions corresponding to the respective plurality of stoppers along a circumferential direction of the cylinder part, so each of the plurality of stoppers is simultaneously supported by each of the plurality of piercing parts corresponding thereto.

12. The clutch cam of claim 2 , wherein a thickness of the second protrusion part is larger than a thickness of the angle determination hole of the housing, so the second protrusion part is in contact with the lever bracket while being fitted to the angle determination hole, whereby a predetermined gap is provided between the housing and the lever bracket.

13. The clutch cam of claim 1 , wherein a spring is provided between the lever bracket and the housing, the spring being held by the lever bracket and the housing at opposite end parts thereof and providing a restoring force to the lever bracket relative to the housing.
