DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 、 2 , the accompanying drawings Figure 1 、 2 respectively show the layout diagram and the structure diagram of the large flow valve body for the pneumatic valve positioner provided by the embodiment of the present application. As shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 1 、 2 , the large flow valve body for the pneumatic valve positioner provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a step motor 01, a converging plate 02 and two single valves 03, the two single valves 03 are installed in mirror image with the converging plate 02 as the center. The step motor 01 is connected to the rotating shafts 1 of the two single valves 03 at the same time, so as to control the two single valves 03 at the same time.

[0026] Specifically, each single valve 03 comprises a body 2, an inlet slide valve 3 and an exhaust slide valve 4. The body 2 is the external structure of the valve body. The inside of the body 2 is provided with a first chamber 5, a second chamber 6 and a third chamber 7 which are connected in series, and the first chamber 5, the second chamber 6 and the third chamber 7 are used for setting other components and exhaust and inlet. The body 2 is provided with a first balance chamber 8, a second balance chamber 9, a vent 10 and a gas source through hole 11, and the first balance chamber 8, the second balance chamber 9, the vent 10 and the gas source through hole 11 are all connected with the outside of the body 2. The first chamber 5 is also connected with the gas source through hole 11, the second chamber 6 is connected with the first balance chamber 8 and the vent 10, and the third chamber 7 is connected with the second balance chamber 9, so as to facilitate the cooperation of various components to realize exhaust and inlet.

[0027] In the first chamber 5, the inside of the first chamber 5 is provided with a rotating shaft 1 which is connected with the step motor 01, so as to drive the rotating shaft 1 to rotate by the step motor 01. The rotating shaft 1 is sleeved with a shaft sleeve 12 outside, and one end of the shaft sleeve 12 is provided with a flow adjusting slider 13, and the other end abuts against the exhaust slide valve 4. When the rotating shaft 1 rotates, the shaft sleeve 12 can rotate with it.

[0028] The flow regulating slider 13 is a component for adjusting the intake airflow. It contacts the inner surface of the first chamber 5 and can slide relative to it. Since the first chamber 5 is connected to the air source through-hole 11, the flow regulating slider 13 is located at the air source through-hole 11 to adjust the intake airflow. During the rotation of the bushing 12, the flow regulating slider 13 is driven to rotate. At this time, the flow regulating slider 13 and the air source through-hole 11 are interleaved, thereby adjusting the size of the air source through-hole 11. That is, the intake cross-sectional area of ​​the air source through-hole 11 is adjusted by rotating the flow regulating slider 13, thereby achieving linear adjustment of the intake airflow, improving the control accuracy of the controller and reducing the adjustment difficulty. Furthermore, the inner surface of the first chamber 5 is a curved surface, and the side of the flow regulating slider 13 that contacts the first chamber 5 is a rounded surface, with the same curvature as the inner surface curvature of the first chamber 5. This curved surface contact design can reduce the movement space of the valve body, making it more compact than a linear slide valve, suitable for valve bodies of various flow rates, especially for large flow valve bodies.

[0029] The intake valve 3 passes through the first chamber 5, the second chamber 6, and the first balance chamber 8, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 2 The intake slide valve 3 is horizontally positioned as shown. The middle portion of the intake slide valve 3 is fixedly mounted on the bushing 12. Therefore, when the bushing 12 rotates, the intake slide valve 3 can move horizontally. Furthermore, an intake spring 14 is also provided on the intake slide valve 3 between the bushing 12 and the wall of the first chamber 5. This intake spring 14 is used to return the intake slide valve 3 to its initial position, i.e., the portion of the bushing 12 with the flow regulating slider 13 is placed vertically. At this time, the flow regulating slider 13 is located directly above the air source through-hole 11.

[0030] The exhaust valve 4 passes through the first chamber 5, the second chamber 6, the third chamber 7, and the second balance chamber 9, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 2 The exhaust valve 4 is vertically positioned as shown. One end of the exhaust valve 4 rests against the bushing 12, and the other end is located in the second balance chamber 9. Thus, when the bushing 12 rotates, the exhaust valve 4 can move vertically. Furthermore, an exhaust spring 15 is provided on the exhaust valve 4 in the third chamber 7. This exhaust spring 15 is used to return the exhaust valve 4 to its initial position, i.e., the portion of the bushing 12 where the flow regulating slider 13 is located is vertically positioned, at which point the flow regulating slider 13 is directly above the air source through-hole 11.

[0031] Further, the intake spring 14 and the first chamber 5 are further provided with an intake sealing block 17. During the movement of the intake slide valve 3, the intake spring 14 presses the intake sealing block 17 to make the intake sealing block 17 soft seal with the body 2. Similarly, the exhaust spring 15 and the third chamber 7 are further provided with an exhaust sealing block 18. During the movement of the exhaust slide valve 4, the exhaust spring 15 presses the exhaust sealing block 18 to make the exhaust sealing block 18 soft seal with the body 2. The soft seal between the intake sealing block 17 and the body 2 and the soft seal between the exhaust sealing block 18 and the body 2 have good sealing performance, so that the steady-state air consumption is extremely low.

[0032] The first balance chamber 8 and the second balance chamber 9 are both provided with a balance chamber block 16, and the balance chamber block 16 is arranged outside the body 2. The balance chamber block 16 is used to block the first balance chamber 8 and the second balance chamber 9. The end of the intake slide valve 3 and the exhaust slide valve 4 is provided with a balance piston 19, and the balance piston 19 is located inside the first balance chamber 8 and the second balance chamber 9 respectively. During the operation of the large flow valve body, the balance piston 19 moves inside the first balance chamber 8 and the second balance chamber 9, which can balance the force generated by the pressure difference on both sides of the single valve 03, ensure more strict sealing, and also reduce the required torque of the step motor 01, reduce power consumption, energy saving and environmental protection.

[0033] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 2 , 3 , wherein the accompanying drawings Figure 3 show the pneumatic principle diagram of the large flow valve body for the pneumatic valve positioner provided by the embodiment of the application. In order to distinguish and describe the two single valves 03, the description form of A valve and B valve is adopted in the embodiment of the application. The running process of the large flow valve body for the pneumatic valve positioner provided by the embodiment of the application is as follows: the rotation of the step motor 01 drives the rotation of the shaft sleeve 12, and then drives the rotation of the shaft sleeve 12. When the step motor 01 rotates counterclockwise, the shaft sleeve 12 in the A valve rotates counterclockwise, so that the intake slide valve 3 moves to the right, the intake spring 14 is stretched, and the intake sealing block 17 is driven to move to the right, realizing the intake of the A port. At the same time, the shaft sleeve 12 in the B valve rotates clockwise, so that the exhaust slide valve 4 compresses the exhaust spring 15 to move upward, realizing the exhaust of the B port. Conversely, when the step motor 01 rotates clockwise, the exhaust of the A port and the intake of the B port are realized. When the step motor 01 does not rotate, the flow adjusting slide block 13 blocks the air source through hole 11, the intake sealing block 17 and the exhaust sealing block 18 are sealed with the cavity wall of the body 2, and the A port, the B port and the air source through hole 11 are not connected.

It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit of the application being indicated by the following claims.
