Abstract

A ball non-return valve that can be integrated with a diaphragm pump or the like, does not transmit strain generated by stress during valve assembly to a ball seal portion, and can stably maintain sealing performance, and a diaphragm pump are disclosed. The non-return valve includes a valve seat having a through-hole, and a ball that opens and closes a flow of a fluid through the through-hole. The valve seat made of a corrosion resistant material is composed of a first valve seat that can support the ball and seal the through-hole, and a second valve seat that has a substantially cylindrical shape surrounding the first valve seat and in which the space between a valve case and the second valve seat is sealed by an O-ring. Clearances d3 and d4 are formed between the first valve seat and the second valve seat, and a horizontal surface of a notched portion of the second valve seat is mounted on an upper surface of a flange portion of the first valve seat.
