Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of backflow preventers, and in particular to a backflow preventer structure. Background Art

[0002] Backflow preventers are primarily used to effectively isolate the connection between urban water supply networks and various user networks, or to effectively isolate the cross-connections between heterogeneous water systems such as drinking water, firefighting water, air conditioning water, and landscaping water. They are also used as a supporting device for non-negative pressure equipment. Comprising two independent inlet and outlet check valves and a drain valve for fluid safety control, a backflow preventer is a hydraulic control assembly that strictly limits the flow of pressurized water in the pipeline to only one direction. It can prevent the backflow of media in the pipeline under all operating conditions, thereby preventing backflow contamination.

[0003] The structure of traditional backflow preventers is relatively simple. In actual use, they can only be adjusted by the device itself, and cannot be conveniently adjusted according to needs during use. This may easily lead to the spring at one end of the drainage being frequently impacted and contaminated by sewage after long-term use, and unable to rebound well, resulting in a situation where the seal is not tight enough when the pressure difference is small, and the device cannot be closed manually. Summary of the Invention

When emergency closure is required, the rotating assembly can be started to rotate the inner gear ring, and the rotating gear ring drives the threaded rod to rotate, and the threaded rod drives the fixed plate to move along the slide groove, thereby releasing the connection between the closing ring and the threaded ring. At this time, under the action of the surrounding spring, the fixed thread on the outer wall of the closing plug can fit with the inner wall of the threaded ring.

The bearing is connected to the interior of the fixed cylinder 4, and the transmission rod 9 is rotated, and the transmission rod 9 drives the transmission assembly 8 to move, so that the driving gear 803 drives the connecting gear ring 802 to rotate, and the connecting gear ring 802 drives the rotation of the connecting threaded ring 801 through the rotation of the center rod 5. Since the threaded ring 801 is connected to the interior of the fixed cylinder 4 through a thread, the surrounding spring 7 can be squeezed when the threaded ring 801 rotates, so that the closing plug 6 is subjected to additional pressure, thereby ensuring that it can fit tightly with the closing ring 10 during use.

At this time, under the action of the surrounding spring 7, the fixing thread 601 on the outer wall of the closing plug 6 can fit with the inner wall of the threaded ring 11.

[0031] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the extrusion assembly 15 includes a fixed block 151, a fixed spring 152 and a pull rod 153. The outer wall of the pull rod 153 away from the sealing ring 13 is surrounded by a fixed spring 152, and the two ends of the fixed spring 152 are respectively connected to the fixed block 151 and one end of the pull rod 153. The outer wall of the fixed block 151 is fixed to the inner wall of the water inlet pipe 1 through a metal rod, and the liquid is input through one end of the water inlet pipe 1.

[0032] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the end of the closing plug 6 close to the closing ring 10 is inclined in an arc shape, and the outer wall of the end of the closing plug 6 away from the closing ring 10 is surrounded by a fixed thread 601, and the fixed thread 601 corresponds to the thread on the inner wall of the thread ring 11.

Since the threaded ring 801 is connected to the inside of the fixed cylinder 4 through a thread, the surrounding spring 7 can be squeezed when the threaded ring 801 rotates, so that the closing plug 6 is subjected to additional pressure, thereby ensuring that it can fit tightly with the closing ring 10 during use. In addition, the surrounding spring 7 can be protected by the protective sleeve 402 during use to prevent it from being contaminated by sewage. When in use, the closing cap 16 can be driven to rise by rotating the extrusion rod 18, thereby releasing the seal on the drain pipe 3, thereby lowering the water level on the side of the water inlet pipe 1 close to the sealing ring 10, so that the liquid inside the drain pipe 2 can tightly fit the closing plug 6 with the sealing ring 10. When emergency sealing is required, the rotating assembly 12 can be started to rotate the inner gear ring 123, and then the threaded rod 121 is driven to rotate by rotating the gear ring 122, so that the threaded rod 121 drives the fixing plate 101 to move along the slide groove 102, thereby releasing the sealing ring 10 and the threaded ring 10. The grooved ring 11 is sleeved, and at this time, under the action of the surrounding spring 7, the fixed thread 601 on the outer wall of the closing plug 6 can fit with the inner wall of the threaded ring 11, and then the transmission rod 9 is rotated to start the transmission assembly 8, so that the driving gear 803 drives the center rod 5 to rotate through the connecting gear ring 802, and then the closing plug 6 drives the fixed thread 601 to rotate, and the threaded ring 11 is connected to each other in a rotational connection to achieve combination. At the same time, the rotation of the threaded ring 801 can also make the surrounding spring 7 further squeeze the closing plug 6 to maintain the tightness of its connection, and the operation is very convenient.
