Abstract:
1. A manual/pneumatic pump structure comprising: a barrel member having a barrel body, the barrel body defining a fuel collection space with a top opening; a cover body disposed on the barrel body for sealing the fuel collection space; a pneumatic gas-sucking member having a main body disposed on the cover body and a Venturi tube section positioned in the main body, an inlet passage being formed in the main body in communication with an inlet of the Venturi tube section, an outlet passage being formed in the main body with a first end in communication with an outlet of the Venturi tube section, a second end of the outlet passage being permissible to communicate with the atmosphere as an opening, the main body being further formed with an intake, a first end of the intake communicating with a low-pressure section of the Venturi tube section, a second end of the intake communicating with the fuel collection space, a control section being used to control an opening and a closing of the inlet passage; and an isolation section for isolating an internal passage of the pneumatic gas-sucking member and the fuel collection space from the atmosphere, the manual/pneumatic pump structure being characterized in that the isolation section has a movement space with a predetermined capacity in communication with the outlet passage, a stopper body being received in the movement space, the stopper body having a volume smaller than the capacity of the movement space, whereby the stopper body is movable within the movement space between a blocking position and an unblocking position, when positioned in the blocking position, the stopper body blocking the outlet passage to isolate the outlet passage from the atmosphere, when positioned in the unblocking position, the stopper body unblocking the outlet passage, permitting the outlet passage to communicate with the atmosphere, wherein the isolation section includes a connection ring, a first axial end of the connection ring being serially connected with an end of the main body, where the opening of the outlet passage is formed, the isolation section further including an end piece fixedly connected with a second axial end of the connection ring to block the second axial end, an inner face of the end piece being opposite to and spaced from a face of the end of the main body by a gap, whereby the movement space is defined between the inner face of the end piece and the opening of the outlet passage for receiving the stopper body, wherein the stopper body has the form of a spherical body, the gap between the inner face of the end piece and the face of the end of the main body is smaller than a radius of the stopper body.
