[0002] In recent years, solar heating technology has developed rapidly. In solar heating systems that use antifreeze as a heat transfer medium, in order to ensure the stability and normal heat exchange of the system, the heating water system needs to maintain a certain system circulation pressure.

Therefore, a water replenishment device needs to be installed in the solar heating system to maintain the normal operation of the heating system. The existing technology usually uses an automatic water replenishment system to replenish water at a constant pressure for the solar heating system, but it usually requires the operator to have certain automatic control knowledge. In addition, the cost of the automatic control device is relatively high, which has a certain economic burden on the heat user. Summary of the invention

[0026] Example 1

[0027] This embodiment discloses a differential pressure control valve, which is a three-way housing as a whole. The three-way housing includes a straight pipe and a branch pipe connected with each other in the inner cavity. The two ends of the straight pipe are an inlet 601 and an outlet 602 respectively. The branch pipe port is a pressure guide port 603. The pressure guide port 603 is provided with a control cavity 61 and a valve core 66 inward in sequence. The control cavity 61 drives the valve core 66 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the branch pipe. When the valve core 66 moves to the lowest point in the straight pipe, the inlet 601 is closed.

[0028] Its function is: when it is applied to the automatic antifreeze replenishment device of the solar heating system, the outlet 602 and the pressure guide port 603 of the pressure difference control valve 6 are connected to the water pipe 5, and the pressure in the straight pipe and the control chamber 61 is adjusted according to the pressure of the water pipe 5, so that the control chamber 61 drives the valve core 66 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the branch pipe to realize the start and stop control of the automatic antifreeze replenishment device, and maintain the pipe network pressure within the set working conditions to ensure the heating quality of the system. The overall structure is simple, low cost and easy to operate.

[0029] Among them, the water pipe 5 is the water supply main pipe of the solar heating system.

[0030] Specifically, the inner wall of the control cavity 61 is provided with an elastic diaphragm 62 which divides the control cavity 61 into a first cavity 611 and a second cavity 612, and both the first cavity 611 and the second cavity 612 are sealed cavities; the inner wall of the second cavity 612 is provided with a support sheet 65 which can slide along the axial direction of the branch pipe, a spring is connected between the elastic diaphragm 62 and the support sheet 65, and a valve stem 63 is connected between the valve core 66 and the support sheet 65;

[0031] Its function is: when the water pressure in the water pipe 5 is greater than the water pressure at the inlet 601 of the differential pressure control valve 6, that is, the pressure at the pressure guide port 603 of the differential pressure control valve 6 is greater than the water pressure at the inlet 601, the elastic diaphragm 62 expands under pressure, causing the spring 64 to be compressed and transmits the pressure to the top of the valve core 66 through the support sheet 65. At the same time, the bottom of the valve core 66 is always subjected to the water pressure at the inlet 601 of the differential pressure control valve 6. Since the water pressure in the water pipe 5 is greater than the water pressure at the inlet 601 of the differential pressure control valve 6, the valve core 66 moves downward until the differential pressure control valve 6 is in a closed state (the inlet 601 is closed), and the system stops replenishing water; conversely, when the water pressure in the water pipe 5 is less than the water pressure at the inlet 601 of the differential pressure control valve 6, the differential pressure control valve 6 opens, and the system starts replenishing water.

[0032] According to the embodiment disclosed, the inner wall of the second cavity 612 is further provided with a guide groove 655 parallel to the axis thereof, and the support sheet 65 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 655 , so that the support sheet 65 moves along the guide groove 655 .

[0033] In the embodiment disclosed, the end of the second cavity 612 is a limit sealing plate 67, and the valve stem 63 seals and passes through the limit sealing plate 67. On the one hand, it ensures the sealing inside the second cavity 612 to prevent the water in the straight pipe from flowing back into the second cavity 612. On the other hand, when the water pressure in the water pipe 5 is lower than the water pressure at the inlet 601 of the differential pressure control valve 6, the upward movement of the valve core 66 is limited.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] This embodiment discloses an automatic antifreeze replenishment device for a solar heating system, comprising a pressurized liquid storage tank 1, a pressure reducing valve 2 and a pressure differential control valve 6 connected in series in sequence, wherein the pressure differential control valve 6 is the pressure differential control valve of embodiment 1; an inlet 601 of the pressure differential control valve 6 is connected to an outlet of the pressure reducing valve 2, and an outlet 602 and a pressure guide port 603 of the pressure differential control valve 6 are both connected to a water pipe 5;

[0036] Its function is: when in use, it is only necessary to set the pressure behind the pressure reducing valve 2, and the normal operation of the water pressure in the pipe network 5 can be ensured by adjusting the opening of the differential pressure control valve 6 itself, without too much intervention from the operator. It has a simple structure, low cost, and simple operation, and can be better accepted by users and achieved large-scale promotion.

[0037] The pressurized liquid storage tank 1 disclosed in this embodiment is divided into a closed gas cavity and a liquid cavity by a gas-liquid diaphragm 1-2, and the pressure reducing valve 2 is connected to the liquid cavity. The gas cavity contains pressurized gas 1-1, and the liquid cavity contains antifreeze 1-3. The pressure of the antifreeze 1-3 in the pressurized liquid storage tank 6 should be higher than the set operating pressure of the heating water system. After the pressurized antifreeze passes through the pressure reducing valve 5, the pressure is reduced to the set operating pressure of the heating water system, so that the water inlet pressure of the differential pressure control valve 6 is equal to the set operating pressure of the heating water system. When the actual operating pressure of the heating water system is lower than the set operating pressure, it is ensured that the water replenishment device has enough pressure difference to start the differential pressure control valve 6.

[0038] The pressure guide port 603 of the differential pressure control valve 6 disclosed in this embodiment is connected to the water pipe 5 through the pressure guide pipe 3, and the pressurized liquid storage tank 1, the pressure reducing valve 2, the differential pressure control valve 6 and the water pipe 5 are connected in series in sequence through the pipeline 4.

[0039] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0040] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0041] In addition, the various different implementation modes disclosed in this solution may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content invented by the present disclosure.
