Description

1 TARIFF A pneumatically operated four-way valve. Technical Area The invention relates to the use of vacuum pump systems in sewer cleaning trucks and combined sewer cleaning equipment. A four-way valve that can be moved pneumatically and operates in three different positions. 5 It is related to. State of the Art Frequently used in heat pump systems, condensing boilers, and hydraulic circuits. The four-way valve encountered is generally designed to change the direction of a fluid. It is a type of valve. As the name suggests, it has four different connection points (ports). It is a valve located in a four-way valve. The function of a four-way valve is to control the flow of fluid (usually water, oil, or gas). It is about determining which direction to go. Nowadays, multiple directions can be determined with a single valve. controllable, reduces piping complexity in the system, and saves space. It is advantageous in terms of providing quality and is therefore preferred. In the current state of the art, vacuum in vacuum trucks and combined sewer cleaning machines is 15. Four-way switches for each operation to allow the pump to operate in either suction or discharge position. It is necessary to go to the valve and change its position. This takes time. This leads to losses and becomes a tiring job for the operator. Furthermore... When the tank is full, the vacuum pump runs empty until the operator goes to the four-way valve. It works on the ground. 20 To eliminate the aforementioned disadvantage in the current technology, a four-way valve is used. It is necessary to create a structure that can be remotely driven and controlled. It makes it possible. As a result of the research conducted on this subject, document number CN112413192A It has been observed. In the relevant document, the valve body is electronically switchable. 25 The text refers to a sewage tanker equipped with a controlled four-way valve. However, the specifics are unclear. It includes a pneumatic cylinder that controls the valve by receiving commands via a control button. There is no organizational structure in place. 2 In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions being the subject of discussion... Due to its shortcomings, an improvement is needed in the relevant technical field. It has been made. Purpose of the Invention The invention was created by drawing inspiration from existing situations and addressing the aforementioned drawbacks. 5 It aims to solve the problem. The main purpose of the invention is to provide a vacuum pump for use in sewer cleaning trucks and combined drain cleaning equipment. It is located in the system and operates in three different positions that can be moved pneumatically. The goal is to introduce a four-way valve. Another purpose of the invention is to operate the valve without having to go near it, thanks to the pneumatic cylinder. The aim is to enable a change in the working position. This saves time and workload. The goal is to generate profit. To fulfill the purposes described above, the invention includes a sewer cleaning truck and a combined sewer system. The vacuum pump in the opening equipment operates in three different positions within the installation. It is a four-way valve, and its feature is; 15  By connecting to the four-way valve, the operating positions of the valve can be determined. a pneumatic cylinder that changes and  Enables the opening and closing commands to be given to the pneumatic cylinder. a control button It includes. 20 The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. This becomes clearer thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures. This will be understood as such, and therefore the evaluation will also take these forms and detailed explanations into account. This should be done taking that into consideration. Figures to Help Understand the Invention 25 Figure 1 shows a view of the pneumatic cylinder integrated into the four-way valve. Figure 2 shows a representative view of the control panel. 3 Explanation of Part References 1. Four-way valve 2. Pneumatic cylinder 3. Control button 4. Control panel 5 Detailed Description of the Invention In this detailed description, four controlled by the pneumatic cylinder (2) which is the subject of the invention. The preferred configurations of the three-way valve (1) are only to help to better understand the subject. It is explained in this regard. With current technology, it is possible to operate the vacuum pump in suction or discharge mode with 10 For each operation, it is necessary to go to the side of the 4-way valve and change its position, and this This also becomes a waste of time and a tiring task for the operator. The mentioned To resolve the technical problem, check the valve's operation without going to the valve itself. Their locations can be changed with the structure that is the subject of the invention. In Figure 1, the four-way valve (1) 15 in vacuum trucks or combined sewer cleaning machines An integrated pneumatic cylinder (2) is located. The aforementioned four-way valve (1) vacuum It is used in different locations for suction or discharge operations in the installation. (Invention) and its operation in different positions without having to go near the four-way valve. This function is provided by the four-way valve, which is the subject of this invention, using a pneumatic system. It contains a cylinder (2). The mentioned pneumatic cylinder (2) is connected to the four-way valve (1) 20 By connecting them, they change the operating positions of the valve. Its appearance is shown in Figure 2. control panel (4) with the given control button (3) and pneumatic cylinder (2) Opening and closing commands are given. This allows the operator to control each operation with four different commands. He doesn't have to go to the valve. Also, it takes him time to go there. This also prevents the vacuum pump from running unnecessarily. Thus, invention 25 The subject is a four-way valve (1) with a pneumatic cylinder integrated into it and this pneumatic The control button (3) that gives the necessary command to the cylinder significantly reduces the operator's workload. It reduces.
