Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline technology, and in particular to a valve core assembly with a touch switch. Background Technology

[0002] Valves are mechanical devices that control the flow rate, direction, pressure, and temperature of flowing fluid media. They are widely used control components in pipeline fluid transport systems, and have functions such as guiding, shutting off, regulating, throttling, checking for backflow, diverting flow, or overflowing and relieving pressure. Technically, valves, like pumps, are often discussed as a separate category. Valves can be operated by handwheels, handles, or pedals, and can also be controlled to change the pressure, temperature, and flow rate of the fluid medium.

[0003] With the development of technology, electronic intelligent products are becoming increasingly common. Many of these products combine both electronic control and mechanical valve cores. However, the mechanical valve core and the electronic components are relatively independent; controlling the mechanical valve core does not affect the electronic components. Generally, the electronic components only need to operate when the valve core is open. However, in current technology, the electronic components remain in standby mode when the valve core is closed, consuming power for extended periods and wasting energy. Furthermore, disabling the electronic components requires additional operation, which is inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of valve core that integrates traditional mechanical valve cores with electronic intelligent products, making it more convenient for users while also saving energy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a valve core assembly with a touch switch, which can activate the control of the electronic components of a product having the valve core assembly when operating a mechanical valve core.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a valve core assembly with a touch switch, comprising a valve core and a data cable. The valve core is a mechanical valve core, including a valve core switch and a valve core body. The valve core switch is rotatably connected to the valve core body. The valve core body has a cylindrical structure, and multiple flow holes of the same size and shape are provided along the axial direction of the valve core body. An outlet hole and a touch switch are provided inside the valve core body, and one end of the data cable passes through the outlet hole and connects to the touch switch.

[0006] Furthermore, the other end of the data cable is provided with a terminal block.

[0007] Furthermore, the wiring terminal is a signal terminal, and the wiring terminal is connected to the electronic control system.

[0008] Preferably, there are three flow holes, and the cross-section of each flow hole is circular.

[0009] Preferably, the cross-section of the outlet hole is elliptical.

[0010] Furthermore, the two contacts of the touch switch come into contact or separate as the valve core is opened or closed.

[0011] Preferably, the two contacts of the touch switch are circular.

[0012] Preferably, the data line is a 2-pin line, which is used to transmit the contact or separation signal of the two contacts of the touch switch.

[0013] Preferably, the valve core body 4 has a cylindrical structure.

[0014] Another aspect of the present invention protects a valve, including a valve core assembly with a touch switch as described above.

[0015] Due to the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) When the valve core assembly with touch switch of the present invention is turned on, the two contacts of the touch switch are in contact, and the signal of the contact is transmitted to the electronic control system of the product having the valve core assembly through the data line, thereby activating the electronic part of the product. When the valve core assembly is turned off, the electronic part of the product is turned off, which can effectively save energy and increase the battery life.

[0017] (2) The valve core assembly with touch switch of the present invention associates the valve core assembly with the electronic part of the product using the valve core assembly, which simplifies the control of the electronic part of the product and makes it more convenient for users.
