Abstract
A diaphragm pump includes a motor having a recess in an outer circumferential portion, a crank which rotates together with a motor output shaft, a driving member including a driving element which reciprocates in accordance with the crank rotation, and a diaphragm which forms a pump chamber which expands and contracts in accordance with the reciprocating driving element. The pump also includes a suction passage which draws a fluid into the pump chamber, a discharge passage which discharges the fluid, a suction valve formed in the suction passage to regulate a reverse flow of the fluid to the suction passage, a discharge valve formed in the discharge passage to regulate a reverse flow of the fluid to the pump chamber, and an elastically deformable cylindrical member which holds the diaphragm and includes a projection which engages with the recess of the motor.
