Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an exhaust valve. Background Technology

[0002] join Figure 6 The existing exhaust valve 01 includes a valve body 011 and a valve plate 012. The valve body 011 is provided with an air inlet 0112 and an exhaust outlet 0111. The valve plate 012 is located on the valve body 011 and is used to open or close the exhaust outlet 0111. The exhaust valve 01 is located in the flue 03 through the valve body 011. The flexible pipe 021 on the range hood 02 is sleeved on the valve body 011. The oil fumes discharged from the range hood 02 pass through the flexible pipe 021 and the exhaust valve 01 in sequence and then enter the flue 03.

[0003] from Figure 6 As can be seen, since the air inlet 0112 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the flexible pipe 021 includes at least a horizontal section 0211 that is parallel to the horizontal plane. When the flexible pipe 021 includes at least a horizontal section 0211 that is parallel to the horizontal plane, the oil fumes discharged from the range hood 02 and entering the flexible pipe 021 will turn into oil upon cooling and accumulate on the horizontal section 0211. The accumulation of oil on the horizontal section 0211 has the following disadvantages: 1. After the oil on the horizontal section 0211 accumulates to a certain amount, the oil will flow back into the range hood 02 through the flexible pipe 021; 2. The horizontal section 0211 with accumulated oil will cause the flexible pipe 021 to separate from the valve body 011. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a flue that solves the problem of oil accumulation inside a flexible pipe.

[0005] To address the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An exhaust valve, characterized in that it comprises:

[0007] The valve body is provided with an exhaust passage for flowing gas. The exhaust passage is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is located at the beginning of the exhaust passage, and the outlet is located at the end of the exhaust passage.

[0008] The smoke exhaust valve plate unit includes at least one smoke exhaust valve plate, each smoke exhaust valve plate is movably disposed on the valve body, and the smoke exhaust valve plate unit moves relative to the valve body to connect or disconnect the gas flow path between the air inlet and the air outlet;

[0009] There is an angle between the air inlet and the horizontal plane.

[0010] In this invention, the exhaust valve is provided with an exhaust channel, and an air inlet is provided at the beginning of the exhaust channel. The air inlet is at an angle to the horizontal plane. When the air inlet is at an angle to the horizontal plane and the flexible pipe of the range hood is inserted into the valve body, the flexible pipe is tilted. This design solves the problem of oil accumulation in the flexible pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the exhaust channel is angled. This design prevents oil from accumulating within the exhaust channel.

[0012] Furthermore, the exhaust channel is also provided with an exhaust port located between the air inlet and the air outlet. The exhaust port is inclined downwards towards the air outlet, and each smoke exhaust valve is located above the exhaust port and is used to open or close the exhaust port. With this design, the smoke exhaust valve will close the exhaust port under its own gravity.

[0013] Furthermore, the valve body includes an annular baffle, and the exhaust port is located on the annular baffle; each smoke exhaust valve plate is hinged to the outer side of the annular baffle. This design facilitates the installation of the smoke exhaust valve plates.

[0014] Furthermore, the valve body also includes an annular cylinder and a base. The air inlet and the annular baffle are located on the annular cylinder, and the air outlet is located on the base. The annular cylinder is detachably mounted on the base. This design facilitates cleaning of the exhaust valve plate and the annular cylinder, as well as the replacement of new exhaust valve plates and new annular cylinders.

[0015] Furthermore, by replacing the annular cylinder, the angle between the air inlet and the horizontal plane can be changed. This design allows the exhaust valve to adapt to range hoods of different heights.

[0016] Furthermore, the base is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the air outlet is the air outlet, the air inlet and the air outlet are parallel, and when the air inlet and the air outlet are parallel, there is an angle between the air inlet and the air inlet.

[0017] Alternatively, the base may have an air inlet and an air outlet, with the air outlet being the air outlet end. An angle exists between the air inlet and the air outlet end. When this angle exists, the air inlet end is parallel to the air inlet. The base and the annular cylinder are manufactured in different sizes at the factory. When the base is installed on a wall or flue, the annular cylinder is mounted on the base, thus controlling the angle between the air inlet and the horizontal plane. This design avoids the need to adjust the angle between the air inlet and the horizontal plane during on-site installation of the exhaust valve.

[0018] Furthermore, the first end of the annular cylinder is bent inward to form a first flange; and / or, the first end of the base is bent outward to form a second flange. The first flange is used to enhance the deformation resistance of the first end of the annular cylinder, and the second flange is used to enhance the deformation resistance of the first end of the base.

[0019] Furthermore, the smoke exhaust valve plate unit includes two smoke exhaust valve plates, each of which is movably disposed on the outer side of the annular baffle and / or the base; the smoke isolation valve plate unit includes two smoke isolation valve plates, the two smoke isolation valve bodies are fixedly connected by a locking mechanism, when the smoke isolation valve plate unit closes the smoke isolation port and the smoke exhaust valve plate unit closes the exhaust port, the smoke isolation valve plate unit, the smoke exhaust valve plate unit and the annular baffle form a smoke isolation chamber.

[0020] Furthermore, the exhaust channel is also equipped with a smoke-proof opening.

[0021] The exhaust valve also includes:

[0022] A smoke-proof valve plate unit is located between the air inlet and the smoke exhaust valve plate unit. The smoke-proof valve plate unit includes at least one smoke-proof valve plate, and each smoke-proof valve plate is movably disposed on the inner side of the annular baffle and / or the base to open or close the smoke-proof port.

[0023] When the smoke exhaust valve plate and the smoke isolation valve plate are installed on the same annular cylinder, since the smoke exhaust valve plate is movably installed on the outer side of the annular cylinder and the smoke isolation valve plate is movably installed on the inner side of the annular cylinder, the deformation resistance of the annular cylinder will be enhanced when both its inner and outer sides are subjected to force.

[0024] Furthermore, the annular cylinder includes a step, the step including a small diameter section, a large diameter section and a connecting section for connecting the small diameter section and the large diameter section, the small diameter section is inserted into the base, when the small diameter section is inserted into the base and the outer wall of the connecting section abuts against the base, the annular cylinder and the base are fixedly connected by one or more of fasteners, latches, rivets and pins;

[0025] Alternatively, the annular cylinder includes a step, the step including a small diameter section, a large diameter section and a connecting section for connecting the small diameter section and the large diameter section, the small diameter section is inserted into the base, and when the small diameter section is inserted into the base and the outer wall of the connecting section abuts against the base, the annular cylinder is threadedly connected to the base;

[0026] Alternatively, the annular cylinder includes a step, the step including a small diameter section, a large diameter section, and a connecting section for connecting the small diameter section and the large diameter section. The small diameter section is inserted into the base. When the small diameter section is inserted into the base and the outer wall of the connecting section abuts against the base, the annular cylinder is snapped into connection with the base.

[0027] The small-diameter section is used to increase the contact area between the annular cylinder and the base, the connecting section is used to control the depth of the annular cylinder inserted into the base, and fasteners, locks, rivets, pins, threaded connections and snap-fit ​​connections are used to achieve secondary fixation between the annular cylinder and the base.
