Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water valve technology, and more specifically to a water valve that can be automatically shut off. Background Technology
[0002] When workers shut off the water supply for maintenance, if the water valves in your home are left on, a large amount of water will accumulate in your home once the water is restored. Similarly, if a water pipe bursts due to aging, a large amount of water will also accumulate if not detected in time. Whether it's forgetting to turn off the water valve or a burst pipe, the leak can only be stopped once someone notices and turns off the valve. However, by the time people discover the leak, a large amount of water may have already accumulated in the home, damaging the furniture. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water valve that can automatically shut off, so as to solve the problem that when tap water leaks in the home, it cannot automatically stop the leakage.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution provided by this invention is as follows: an automatically closing water valve, comprising a valve housing with an open top, a valve cover, and a sealing mechanism and a driving mechanism disposed inside the valve housing. The valve housing has an outlet on one side and an inlet chamber on the side away from the outlet. One end of the inlet chamber is connected to the inlet, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the valve housing. The valve cover is bolted to the valve housing. The sealing mechanism includes a connecting plate and a valve body. The connecting plate has two sliders on its side. The valve housing has a groove for slidingly connecting the sliders. The valve body faces the outlet... The valve body has a movably connected pin, to which a Z-shaped limiting rod and a U-shaped pull rod are movably connected respectively. A limiting block is provided at the top of the connecting plate. An opening component for driving the Z-shaped limiting rod to engage with the limiting block is movably connected to the U-shaped pull rod. A first spring is connected to the Z-shaped limiting rod, with the other end of the first spring connected to the connecting plate. The driving mechanism includes a toggle unit and a transmission unit for driving the toggle unit to separate the Z-shaped limiting rod from the limiting block. The transmission unit is located inside the valve body and below the connecting plate, while the toggle unit is located above the connecting plate.
[0005] The principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When using this automatic water valve, firstly connect the inlet of the automatic water valve to the outlet of the water meter, then connect the outlet of the automatic water valve to the inlet pipe entering the room. Then, the user uses the opening component to lock the Z-shaped limiting rod onto the limiting block, so that the valve body no longer blocks the outlet. When the tap water is connected, the tap water enters the inlet chamber from the inlet and flows into the bottom of the valve body. Under the action of the water flow, the transmission unit rotates, thereby driving the actuating unit to rotate. When the actuating unit touches the Z-shaped limiting rod during rotation, the Z-shaped limiting rod separates from the limiting block. Under the action of the first spring stress, the valve body moves towards the outlet, thereby blocking the outlet. At this time, the automatic water valve is closed, and tap water no longer enters the room. When it is necessary to open the automatic water valve, the user can use the opening component to drive the U-shaped pull rod to move away from the outlet, thereby driving the valve body away from the outlet until the Z-shaped limiting rod is locked onto the limiting block. Compared with existing technologies, this invention can automatically shut off the water valve when there is a leak in the home and the home is unoccupied for a long time, thereby preventing the home from being flooded.
[0006] Option 2, a preferred embodiment of the basic option, includes a rotating rod and a rotating handle. One end of the rotating rod has a U-shaped protrusion that fits inside a U-shaped pull rod and is movably connected to it. The other end of the rotating rod rotatably passes through the top of the valve cover and is connected to the rotating handle. A second spring is connected to the rotating handle, with its free end connected to the valve cover. When it is necessary to separate the valve body from the outlet, the user holds the rotating handle and rotates the rotating rod, causing the U-shaped protrusion to move the U-shaped pull rod away from the outlet, thereby disengaging the valve body from the outlet. Simultaneously, a Z-shaped limiting rod engages with a limiting block. When the user releases the rotating handle, the U-shaped protrusion and rotating rod return to their original positions under the stress of the second spring.
[0007] Option 3, a preferred embodiment of Option 2, comprises a support groove, a connecting groove, a support plate, a first transmission assembly, a second transmission assembly, a third transmission assembly, a fourth transmission assembly, a fifth transmission assembly, a sixth transmission assembly, a seventh transmission assembly, an eighth transmission assembly, a ninth transmission assembly, and a tenth transmission assembly. The support plate is slidably disposed within the valve housing and spaced apart from the inner side of the bottom end of the valve housing. Several water outlet grooves are formed on the inner wall of the valve housing where it abuts the support plate. The connecting groove is located at the top of the support plate, and a limiting ring is fitted around its periphery. The limiting ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the valve housing. Several water inlet holes are provided on the periphery of the connecting groove below the limiting ring. Several water outlet holes are provided on the periphery above the position ring. The support groove is slidably disposed in the valve body and placed at the top of the connecting groove. The first transmission component includes a first rotating shaft. The bottom end of the first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting groove. The top end of the first rotating shaft passes through the bottom end of the connecting groove. An impeller is disposed on the first rotating shaft and located in the connecting groove. A first gear is connected to the top end of the first rotating shaft. The second transmission component, the third transmission component, the fourth transmission component, the fifth transmission component, the sixth transmission component, the eighth transmission component, the ninth transmission component, and the tenth transmission component are sequentially connected in transmission. The second transmission component is connected in transmission to the first gear, and the tenth transmission component is connected in transmission to the toggle unit.
[0008] When tap water enters the bottom of the valve body sequentially through the inlet and inlet chamber, the support plate is pushed upward along the valve body by the water pressure. This causes the connecting groove and support groove to move upward a certain distance. As the support groove moves upward, it pushes the connecting plate to slide upward along the inside of the valve body, thereby causing the tenth transmission component to move upward and engage with the actuating unit. Tap water flows out from the outlet groove and into the connecting groove through the inlet hole, then exits through the outlet hole and finally exits through the outlet. The tap water entering the connecting groove can drive the impeller to rotate. When the impeller rotates, it can drive the first gear to rotate. The rotation of the first gear can drive the second transmission component to rotate. When the second transmission component rotates, it can cause the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, ninth, and tenth transmission components to rotate sequentially. When the tenth transmission component rotates, it can drive the actuating unit to rotate.
[0009] Option 4, a preferred embodiment of Option 3, includes the second, third, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth transmission components, each comprising a second gear, a third gear, and a second rotating shaft for mounting the second and third gears. Each second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate and the support groove. The second and third gears of the second, third, fourth, and fifth transmission components are sequentially cross-meshed, and the first gear meshes with the second gear of the second transmission component. The sixth transmission component includes a fourth gear and a shaft for mounting the fourth gear. The third rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom ends of the connecting plate and the support groove. The third gear of the fifth transmission assembly meshes with the fourth gear. The second gear of the seventh transmission assembly meshes with the fourth gear. The second gear and the first gear of the seventh, eighth, and ninth transmission assemblies mesh in a cross manner. The tenth transmission assembly includes a fourth rotating shaft and a fifth gear. The bottom end of the fourth rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the support groove. The fifth gear is sleeved on the fourth rotating shaft and meshes with the third gear of the ninth transmission assembly. The top end of the fourth rotating shaft is connected to a connector for connecting the toggle unit.
[0010] Option 5, which is a preferred embodiment of Option 4, includes a sleeve and a connecting rod. The sleeve is equipped with a toggle block. The bottom end of the sleeve is open and faces the top end of the connector. The top end of the sleeve is closed and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod. The top end of the connecting rod movably passes through the valve cover. The top end of the connecting rod is connected to an adjustment unit for setting the water flow rate at the outlet. The total water volume entering the room from the outlet is set by adjusting the travel of the toggle block to the Z-shaped limit rod via the adjustment unit. When the total water volume discharged from the outlet reaches the set value, the toggle block can just squeeze the Z-shaped limit rod, causing the Z-shaped limit rod to disengage from the limit block. At this time, the valve body can block the outlet, while the support plate, connecting groove, and connecting plate move downward as a whole, thereby separating the connector on the fourth rotating shaft from the sleeve. When water leakage occurs in the house, the toggle block continuously moves closer to the Z-shaped limit rod. When the Z-shaped limit rod is squeezed and separates from the limit block, the valve body can block the outlet, thereby stopping the water leakage in the house.
[0011] Option 6, a preferred embodiment of Option 5, includes a third spring and a limiting plate. The limiting plate is fixed to the top of the connecting rod and has several connecting holes for connecting the third spring. The free end of the third spring is connected to the valve cover. Rotating the limiting plate rotates the sleeve, thereby causing the actuating block to rotate. When the actuating block rotates to the point where the Z-shaped limiting rod's stroke meets the requirements, the user can connect the third spring to the corresponding connecting hole of the limiting plate. This allows the actuating block to reset after the sleeve and connecting piece are separated.
[0012] Option 7, a preferred embodiment of Option 6, has a connector for connecting a water pipe bolted to the water outlet. The connector at the water outlet facilitates connection to the indoor water inlet pipe.
[0013] Option 8, a preferred embodiment of Option 7, features a slot at the top of the valve cover, into which a support block is movably inserted. When the valve body needs to be kept open, the user can place the support block under the limit plate, preventing the connector from connecting to the sleeve and thus avoiding rotation of the actuating block.
[0014] Option 9, which is a preferred embodiment of Option 8, includes a limiting plate and a plug rod. The limiting plate is fixed to the top of the fourth rotating shaft and located below the connecting plate. The plug rod is fixed to the top of the limiting plate. The plug rod has raised patterns, and the sleeve has a groove for engaging the raised patterns.
[0015] Option 10, which is a preferred embodiment of Option 9, has two sleeves at the top of the connecting plate, each sleeve being fitted with a fourth spring, the top of the fourth spring abutting against the bottom of the valve cover; a groove is provided at the connection between the valve body and the valve cover, and an O-ring is provided in the groove; an observation window is provided at the top of the valve cover.

[0036] The implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: When using the automatic water valve, firstly connect the inlet 3 of the automatic water valve to the outlet of the water meter, then connect the outlet 4 of the automatic water valve to the inlet pipe entering the room. When tap water enters the bottom of the valve body 1 through the inlet 3 and the inlet chamber 6 in sequence, under the action of water pressure, the support plate 31 is pushed upward along the valve body 1, thereby causing the connecting groove 32, the support groove 30, and the connecting plate 12 to move upward a certain distance. After the connecting plate 12 moves upward along the valve body 1, the insertion rod 53 will be inserted into the sleeve 19. The water entering the valve body 1 will exit through the outlet groove 55 and then enter the connecting groove 32 through the inlet hole 33, and then be discharged from the outlet hole 34, and finally be discharged from the automatic water valve through the outlet 4. When the tap water enters the connecting groove 32, it will drive the impeller 36 to rotate. When the impeller 36 rotates, it will drive the first gear 37 to rotate. This will drive the second transmission component 40 to rotate. When the second transmission component 40 rotates, the third transmission component 41, the fourth transmission component 42, the fifth transmission component 43, the sixth transmission component, the eighth transmission component 48, the ninth transmission component 49, and the tenth transmission component will rotate in sequence. When the tenth transmission component rotates, it will drive the sleeve 19 to rotate, thereby driving the actuating block 20 to rotate. When the actuating block 20 rotates and touches and squeezes the ZZ-shaped limiting rod 9, the ZZ-shaped limiting rod 9 will separate from the limiting block 11. Under the stress of the first spring 13, the valve body 7 will move towards the water outlet 4, thereby blocking the water outlet 4. At this time, the automatic water valve will close, and tap water will no longer enter the room. The support plate 31, the connecting groove 32, the support groove 30, and the connecting plate 12 will move downward as a whole, thereby separating the insert rod 53 from the sleeve 19. The actuating block 20 will reset under the stress of the third spring 24.
[0037] When the automatic water valve needs to be opened, the user holds the rotating handle 16 and rotates the rotating rod 14, causing the UU-shaped protrusion 15 to drive the UU-shaped pull rod 10 to move away from the water outlet 4, thereby causing the valve body 7 to disengage from the water outlet 4. At the same time, the ZZ-shaped limit rod 9 is engaged with the limit block 11. When the user releases the rotating handle 16, the UU-shaped protrusion 15 and the rotating rod 14 return to their original positions under the stress of the second spring 27.
[0038] In this scheme, the greater the stroke of the toggle block 20 to the ZZ-shaped limit rod 9, the longer the transmission unit needs to rotate, thus resulting in a larger total amount of tap water discharged from the outlet 4, and vice versa.
[0039] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
