Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of air pressure valves, and in particular to a miniature air pressure regulating valve. Background Art
[0002] A small pressure valve is a valve with a smaller valve type, usually used in negative pressure and low pressure gas pipeline systems to control and regulate gas flow. A small pressure valve is an important gas flow control device, widely used in various fields such as production, scientific research, and medical treatment. It is often used to control and regulate gas flow in laboratories, hospitals, factories and other scenes. In addition, small pressure valves can also be used in the fields of automobiles, machinery, electronic appliances, etc.
[0003] At present, all small air pressure valves use air pumps including vacuum pumps as core power parts, and air pumps use motors as power output adjustment devices. Therefore, the current small air pressure valves have the following disadvantages: 1. Large size. Since a motor and a housing for the motor are required, the size is generally large and the weight is heavy. The smallest size is the size of a palm and the thickness is 5-10cm. At the same time, it cannot be conveniently carried and cannot be applied in many small space scenes. 2. The noise is large. Due to the use of air pumps with motors, the noise is mostly 60 decibels, and the noise pollution is high. 3. Due to the use of motors, the power consumption is large and the power consumption is large. The sustainability in mobile use scenarios is low, and the cost of use is high. 4. Due to the structure of the motor, the small air pressure valve needs to be connected to the use scenario through a pipeline, which increases the use cost. At the same time, due to the existence of the pipeline, it is easy to leak air, resulting in poor air tightness. 5. It is impossible to accurately change the pressure value according to the change of external temperature to adapt to special application scenarios.
[0004] Especially in the medical and cosmetic fields, negative pressure therapy and negative pressure beauty have become emerging medical and aesthetic technologies. For example, negative pressure wound dressings used for wound recovery use a small air pressure valve as the core component of the negative pressure regulator. The negative pressure regulator is connected to the wound dressing through a connecting tube to control the closed wound to be in a negative pressure environment to facilitate recovery. The current small air pressure valve of this type of product uses a vacuum pump as the regulating power part. Therefore, in addition to the shortcomings of the aforementioned small air pressure valve, there are also the following shortcomings in this application scenario: 1. Due to the existence of the connecting tube, it is inconvenient to carry. 2. It is also necessary to add an additional one-way valve in the connecting pipeline, and the negative pressure state cannot be maintained for a long time, which causes the negative pressure instrument to work continuously and consumes a lot of power. 3. The negative pressure instrument will continue to leak and has poor airtightness. Summary of the invention

The upper shell 7 is also provided with a notch for installing the power interface and a toggle switch notch at the corresponding position of the lower shell 1. The upper end surface of the upper shell 7 is provided with an annular flange that is high inside and gradually low outside to form a circular surface mounting groove 75 with an opening upward, and the indicator light hole 74 is located in the center of the surface mounting groove. An easy-to-tear convex portion 76 is provided at any position of the peripheral wall of the surface sticker groove 75. In this embodiment, the easy-to-tear convex portion 76 is located at the rear and is semicircular. The surface sticker 8 is made of PVC or PET material.

[0073] The upper shell 7 is installed on the lower shell 1 from above. Specifically, glue is injected into the first installation groove T1 of the lower shell 1, and the upper shell 7 is inserted into the first installation groove T1 of the lower shell 1 from above by its first tenon 71 to be limited circumferentially and fixed up and down after the glue is cured, so that the indicator hole 74 is located above the indicator light of the PCBA circuit board 5, and the third partition plate and the lower pressure plate 72 limit the upward movement of the PCBA circuit board 5.
[0074] The rubber sleeve 9 is made of silicone rubber material. The rubber sleeve 9 is open upward. The shape of its peripheral wall corresponds to the peripheral wall of the shell composed of the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 7. The bottom surface of the rubber sleeve 9 is larger than the shell. A connection seat 91 is provided in the rubber sleeve 9 at the corresponding position of the embedding groove T6. A connector sleeve hole is provided in the center of the connection seat 91, which runs through from top to bottom. The inner wall of the connector sleeve hole is provided with evenly spaced annular sealing ribs. The rubber sleeve 9 is tightly fitted on the shell from below due to its characteristics, and the switch toggle key 19 and the power interface 52 are exposed. The connection seat 91 is inserted into the embedding groove T6 and the connector sleeve hole is tightly fitted to wrap the connector 17-1. Moreover, more preferably, the rubber sleeve 9 is also adhered with a breathable membrane 2 outside the connection seat 91 on its lower end surface to prevent liquids or microorganisms such as bacteria from passing through.
[0075] The micro air pressure regulating valve of this embodiment is used to implement negative pressure control when in use. It is inserted through the connector 17-1 of the lower shell 1 with a tight fit or is tightly sleeved on the corresponding connector on the side to be connected through the first vent hole 17-2 in the connector 17-1 with a tight fit. Since the air pump 3 used in the micro air pressure regulating valve of this embodiment is a micro piezoelectric pump, the overall weight of this product is very small, and it can be directly connected to the ultra-close connector on the side to be connected without pipelines; it can be directly powered by the power interface 52 or disconnected from the power connection line after charging the battery 6. After turning on the device by turning on the toggle switch toggle key 19, the pressure and temperature sensor 51 on the PCBA circuit board 5 can monitor the pressure value and temperature value in the sealed cavity in real time. As the pressure in the sealed cavity increases or decreases, it is determined whether it is in a negative pressure state. When the pressure decreases to a certain set critical value, the air pump 3 starts to work, and when the pressure increases to a certain set critical value, the air pump 3 stops working, thereby reducing the working time and working energy consumption of the air pump 3; when the air pump 3 is working, the air pump 3 uses the inverse piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric ceramic to deform the piezoelectric vibrator , and then the volume change of the pump chamber is generated by deformation to realize exhaust of the side to be connected to reduce the pressure. Specifically, the gas on the side to be connected passes through the first vent hole 17-2 to the ventilation expansion groove T3 and then passes through the breathable membrane 2. At the same time, the breathable membrane 2 has a barrier property to prevent liquids or microorganisms such as bacteria from passing through. After passing through the breathable membrane 2 and the expansion groove T5, it is convenient to enter the sealed cavity. The three air inlet holes 31 of the air pump 3 continuously pass the gas in the sealed cavity through the air outlet hole 32 and the second air vent 55 from the ventilation gap into the upper shell 7, and discharge it through the power interface 52 and the toggle switch 54. When the micro air pressure regulating valve of this embodiment is used in scenes such as medical treatment, the pressure and temperature sensor 51 can detect the increase or decrease of the temperature in the sealed cavity. When the external temperature rises, the blood vessels of the human body expand, resulting in an increase in blood perfusion, and the negative pressure value can be appropriately reduced. When the external temperature decreases, the blood vessels contract, resulting in a decrease in blood perfusion, and the negative pressure value can be appropriately increased.
