Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a drain valve adjusting structure technical field, specifically is a backflow preventer drain valve regulator. BACKGROUND

[0002] The backflow preventer is also called a pollution prevention isolation valve, and its core structure includes a water inlet check valve, a water outlet check valve and an automatic drain valve arranged between the two. The principle of the backflow preventer drain valve is that when the medium flows through the water inlet check valve, the pressure is reduced due to mechanical resistance and flow head loss, so that the inlet pressure is higher than the pressure in the drain valve cavity. When the pressure difference between the inlet and the drain valve cavity is less than a certain value, the pressure on the upper part of the drain valve diaphragm is less than the pressure of the drain valve cavity and the spring, and the drain valve is automatically opened to discharge the backflow medium outside the pipe. At the same time, a large amount of air enters the valve cavity to form an air isolation to prevent the medium from flowing backward. When the pressure difference is greater than a certain value, the drain valve is automatically closed.

[0003] During the operation of the backflow preventer, the drain valve will frequently switch between opening and closing, that is, the drain valve maintains a relatively frequent movement state during operation. As the working time increases, the wear and deformation of the structure inside the valve may become more and more serious, which may cause the valve plug to be stuck and unable to move smoothly during resetting, that is, the drain valve cannot be closed automatically, and further, water leakage occurs and cannot be stopped automatically, affecting the continued use of the overall structure. Therefore, the backflow preventer drain valve regulator is proposed to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
