This utility model belongs to the field of flow valve technology, specifically providing a flow valve based on an iris mechanism, including a valve body
assembly, an iris opening and closing mechanism, a small
bevel gear, a sleeve bearing, a
flange bearing, an upper end cover, and an air source connector. The valve body
assembly includes a valve body and a first ring body. The iris opening and closing mechanism includes an end face
flange assembly, a large
bevel gear assembly, a gate, and a guide block. The end face
flange assembly includes an end face flange and a third ring body, and the large
bevel gear assembly includes a large bevel gear and a second ring body. The included angle between the shafts of the small bevel gear and the large bevel gear is 90°, thereby changing the transmission direction. The iris opening and closing mechanism of this utility model drives the bevel gear to cause the gate to retract inward or expand outward, realizing the gate closing and opening functions. The flow valve of this utility model has a simple structure, good adjustment
linearity, and can achieve high-precision adjustment over a large flow range, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
