Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pressure reducing valve equipment, and particularly relates to a diaphragm type pressure reducing valve. Background Art

[0002] A pressure reducing valve is a valve that reduces the inlet pressure to a required outlet pressure through adjustment and relies on the energy of the medium itself to automatically maintain the stability of the outlet pressure. From the perspective of fluid mechanics, a pressure reducing valve is a throttling element with variable local resistance, that is, by changing the throttling area, the flow rate and the kinetic energy of the fluid are changed, resulting in different pressure losses, so as to achieve the purpose of pressure reduction. Then, relying on the adjustment of the control and regulation system, the fluctuation of the pressure behind the valve is balanced with the spring force, so that the pressure behind the valve remains constant within a certain error range. Most of the existing pressure valves are piston structures and require the use of lubricating oil. However, for oil-free compressors, it is obviously very inconvenient during use.

Specific embodiments

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further specifically described below through embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Embodiment: A diaphragm type pressure reducing valve, as Figures 1 - 10 shown, includes a pressure reducing valve body 1, a valve cover 2 and a handle 3. An intake pipe 4 is welded below one side of the pressure reducing valve body 1, and an outlet pipe 5 is welded below the other side of the pressure reducing valve body 1. Sealing structures are provided at the outer ports of the intake pipe 4. The valve cover 2 is arranged at the top of the pressure reducing valve body 1, and mounting plates 31 are fixedly installed on the contact surfaces between the pressure reducing valve body 1 and the valve cover 2. A fixing structure is arranged between the two mounting plates 31. The handle 3 is arranged at the top of the valve cover 2. A handle groove 15 is opened at the top of the valve cover 2. A guide rod 13 is inserted into the handle groove 15. Convex blocks 19 are connected to both sides of the guide rod 13. A limiting structure is arranged between the convex blocks 19 and the inner wall of the valve cover 2. A buffer structure is arranged in the handle groove 15. The bottom end of the guide rod 13 penetrates through the bottom end of the handle groove 15 and extends below the valve cover 2, and a pressing column 23 is arranged at the bottom end of the guide rod 13. A push column 27 is arranged at the top of the pressure reducing valve body 1. A diaphragm 11 is fixedly connected to the push column 27. The diaphragm 11 can use a structure with a curvature to improve the service life of the diaphragm 11, and the periphery of the diaphragm 11 is connected to the inner wall of the pressure reducing valve body 1. A pressure spring 26 is fixedly connected between the pressing column 23 and the push column 27. The end head 14 presses the push column 27, so that the push column 27 presses the pressing column 23 downward, and the pressing column 23 presses the pressure spring 26 to deform. A cavity 12 is opened inside the pressure reducing valve body 1 below the push column 27. A valve core 22 is arranged at the bottom end of the cavity 12. A pressing column 23 is arranged on the valve core 22. A first vent hole 32 is opened between the cavity 12 and the intake pipe 4, and a second vent hole 33 is opened between the first vent hole 32 and the outlet pipe 5. The pressure inside the valve is isolated from the external atmospheric pressure through the diaphragm 11.

[0030] The sealing structure includes a first sealing ring 8 and a second sealing ring 10. An internal thread 6 is provided on the inner circle of the outer end of the air inlet pipe 4. A first step groove 7 is provided on the outer end of the air inlet pipe 4 in a circular shape. The first sealing ring 8 is sleeved on the first step groove 7. A second step groove 9 is provided on the inner diameter of the outer ends of the air inlet pipe 4 and the air outlet pipe 5 in a circular shape. The second sealing ring 10 is sleeved on the second step groove 9. The setting of the first sealing ring 8 and the second sealing ring 10 makes the connection port of the air inlet pipe 4 more sealed.

[0031] The fixing structure includes a third sealing ring 29. The third sealing ring 29 is clamped between two mounting plates 31. Compression bolts 30 are screwed on the outer periphery of the two mounting plates 31 at equal intervals in a circular shape.

[0032] The limiting structure includes a buffer washer 17. Limiting grooves 18 are provided on both side walls of the guide rod 13. A second spring 21 is fixedly connected in the limiting groove 18. The other end of the second spring 21 is fixedly connected to a convex block 19. A plurality of equally spaced positioning holes 20 are provided on the inner wall of the valve cover 2 near the convex block 19 in a vertical plane. The height of the positioning hole 20 is greater than the diameter of the top end of the convex block 19. When the handle 3 presses down the guide rod 13, the bottom ends of the convex blocks 19 on both sides of the guide rod 13 are abutted against the inner wall of the valve cover 2 and retracted into the limiting groove 18. When the convex block 19 passes through the positioning hole 20, the convex block 19 falls into the positioning hole 20 through the rebound of the second spring 21. At this time, through the setting of the limiting structure, the guide rod 13 can move down slowly and evenly.

[0033] The buffer structure includes a first spring 16. Four first springs 16 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the handle groove 15 at equal intervals in a circular shape. The other end of the first spring 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the handle 3. The guide rod 13 is located between the four first springs 16. A buffer washer 17 is clamped between the bottom end of the handle groove 15 and the guide rod 13.

[0034] A first groove 24 is provided at the top end of the pressure column 23. A head 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the guide rod 13, and the head 14 abuts against the first groove 24.

[0035] The push column 27 is in the shape of a T-shaped platform column. The diaphragm 11 is connected to the bottom end of the larger diameter ring at the top end of the push column 27. A pressure chamber 28 is provided inside the pressure reducing valve body 1 corresponding to the bottom end of the diaphragm 11.

[0036] A third ventilation hole 34 is provided between the pressure chamber 28 and the air outlet pipe 5, and the second ventilation hole 33 is communicated with the third ventilation hole 34. When the upward air pressure on the lower surface of the diaphragm 11 is large enough, the diaphragm 11 will move upward and lift. The air flow enters from the air inlet pipe 4 and is guided into the cavity 12 through the first ventilation hole 32. At this time, the valve core 22 moves upward under pressure, and the guide rod 13 moves upward synchronously. At this time, the entire valve body is in an open state.

[0037] The valve core 22 is in the shape of a boss. A gland 37 is clamped on the valve core 22. A second groove 35 is provided at the top end of the valve core 22. A third spring 25 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the second groove 35, and the other end of the third spring 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the gland 37.

[0038] A fourth sealing ring 36 is clamped at the connection port between the bottom end of the valve core 22 and the first vent hole 32.

[0039] Principle of the present invention: The pressure inside the valve is isolated from the external atmospheric pressure by the diaphragm 11. When the upward air pressure on the lower surface of the diaphragm 11 is large enough, the diaphragm 11 will move upward and push up. The air flow enters through the intake pipe 4 and is guided into the cavity 12 through the first vent hole 32. At this time, the valve core 22 moves upward under pressure, and the guide rod 13 moves upward synchronously. At this time, the entire valve body is in an open state; when the pressure on the lower surface of the diaphragm 11 is less than the pressure of the pressure spring 26, the handle 3 squeezes the guide rod 13 downward. The bottom ends of the protrusions 19 on both sides of the guide rod 13 abut against the inner wall of the valve cover 2 and contract into the limit groove 18. When the protrusions 19 pass through the positioning holes 20, the protrusions 19 fall into the positioning holes 20 by the rebound of the second spring 21. At this time, due to the setting of the limit structure of the guide rod 13, it can move downward slowly and evenly, preventing the end 14 at the bottom end of the guide rod 13 from squeezing the pressure column 23 too quickly, causing the diaphragm 11 to be suddenly heavily pressed and damaged. The end 14 presses the push column 27, so that the push column 27 squeezes the pressure column 23 downward. The pressure column 23 squeezes the pressure spring 26 to deform. At this time, by pressing the push column 27 to the top end of the pressure column 23, the valve core 22 is pressed downward by the pressure column 23. Through the layer-by-layer squeezing force, the pressure received by the diaphragm 11 can be made uniform. The downward pressure is also buffered by the first spring 16 in the buffer structure. The pressure spring 26 drives the diaphragm 11 to move downward, and finally the valve core 22 is tightly pressed against the bottom end of the cavity 12. At this time, the entire valve body is in a closed state. Sealing rings are provided at multiple connection ports of this valve body, improving the sealing performance of the valve body.

[0040] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only relatively representative examples of the present invention. Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and there can be many variations. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
