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.

1. A diaphragm pump comprising: a motor comprisinga cylindrical yoke,an output shaft projecting from inside the yoke, anda recess formed in an outer circumferential surface of the yoke and including two side surfaces facing each other;a crank which rotates together with the output shaft of said motor;a driving member including a driving element which reciprocates in accordance with the rotation of said crank;a diaphragm which forms a pump chamber which expands and contracts in accordance with the reciprocal motion of said driving element of said driving member;a suction passage which draws a fluid into said pump chamber;a discharge passage which discharges the fluid from said pump chamber;a suction valve formed in said suction passage to regulate a reverse flow of the fluid from said pump chamber to said suction passage;a discharge valve formed in said discharge passage to regulate a reverse flow of the fluid from said discharge passage to said pump chamber; anda cylindrical member which holds said diaphragm, includes a first projection which is inserted between the two side surfaces of the recess and engages with the recess of said motor, and is elastically deformable, whereinsaid motor further comprises a permanent magnet attached to an inner surface of said yoke, and a rotor surrounded by said permanent magnet and axially fixed to the output shaft of said motor,the recess forms an abutting portion which locks said permanent magnet in a predetermined position when said permanent magnet is pressed in said yoke, andthe abutting portion is formed by a second projection which projects to an inner side of the yoke by forming said recess on the outer circumferential surface of the yoke. 2. A pump according to claim 1, wherein said cylindrical member comprises: a cylindrical diaphragm holder which holds said diaphragm; anda mounter integrally connected to a lower portion of said diaphragm holder, and including an elastically deformable motor holder having, on an inner circumferential portion, the first projection to be engaged with the recess of said motor. 3. A pump according to claim 2, wherein said mounter includes an abutting portion against which a ceiling portion of said motor abuts when the recess of said motor engages with the first projection of said motor holder. 4. A pump according to claim 1, wherein said cylindrical member comprises an elastically deformable cylindrical diaphragm holder which holds said diaphragm and has, in a lower portion of an inner circumferential portion, the first projection to be engaged with the recess of said motor. 5. A pump according to claim 4, wherein said diaphragm holder includes an abutting portion against which a ceiling portion of said motor abuts when the recess of said motor engages with the first projection of said diaphragm holder.
