Specific implementation manner
[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation manners.
[0024] Embodiment: An electric control valve includes a valve body opening and closing mechanism and a passage switching mechanism, and the passage switching mechanism is installed on the valve body opening and closing mechanism.
[0025] The valve body opening and closing mechanism includes a valve body 1, on which a right outlet 2 and a left outlet 3 are fixedly installed, a double-acting cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on the valve body 1, a left rack 5 is fixedly installed at the left telescopic end of the double-acting cylinder 4, a rotating plate 7 is rotatably installed on the valve body 1, a left gear 6 is fixedly installed on the rotating plate 7, and the left gear 6 and the left rack 5 form a gear-rack cooperation; when the telescopic end of the double-acting cylinder 4 extends, the left rack 5 moves, the left rack 5 drives the left gear 6 to rotate, and the left gear 6 drives the rotating plate 7 to rotate, so as to control the opening or closing of the input end of the valve body 1.
[0026] The passage switching mechanism includes a right rack 11, which is fixedly installed at the right telescopic end of the bidirectional electric cylinder 4. A right gear 12 is rotatably installed on the valve body 1. A sliding strip 16 is fixedly installed on the valve body 1. A water blocking plate 14 is slidably installed on the sliding strip 16. A sliding rack 13 is fixedly installed on the water blocking plate 14. The sliding rack 13 and the right gear 12 form a gear-rack fit. A switching partition 15 is fixedly installed on the water blocking plate 14. When the right telescopic end of the bidirectional electric cylinder 4 extends, it drives the right rack 11 to move. The right rack 11 drives the right gear 12 to rotate. The right gear 12 drives the sliding rack 13 to slide. The sliding rack 13 drives the water blocking plate 14 to move. The water blocking plate 14 drives the switching partition 15 to slide. The switching partition 15 blocks the right outlet 2 or the left outlet 3, realizing the switching of the two valve body outlets. When the switching partition 15 moves to the outlet of the right outlet 2, the water blocking plate 14 will block the opening on the upper surface of the valve body 1 to prevent leakage from the upper end.
[0027] A discharge plate 9 is fixedly installed on the valve body 1. A push plate 8 is slidably installed on the discharge plate 9. An inner spring 10 is fixedly installed on the push plate 8. The inner spring 10 is connected to the discharge plate 9. The rotating plate 7 rotates to push the push plate 8 and compresses the inner spring 10. After compression, water can pass through the valve body. At the same time, a short convex plate is provided on the side of the rotating plate 7. When the valve body is closed, the short convex plate supports the push plate 8, and the water flow cannot push the push plate 8 open.
[0028] The control valve further includes a linkage flow measurement mechanism. The linkage flow measurement mechanism includes a lifting plate 17, which is slidably installed on the valve body 1. A folding rod 18 is slidably installed on the valve body 1. The folding rod 18 forms a fit with the water blocking plate 14. A starting spring 19 is fixedly installed on the folding rod 18. The starting spring 19 is connected to the valve body 1. The folding rod 18 forms a fit with the lifting plate 17. An upper spring 20 is fixedly installed on the lifting plate 17. The upper spring 20 is fixedly connected to the valve body 1. A flowmeter 21 is fixedly installed on the lifting plate 17. When the water blocking plate 14 moves horizontally, the water blocking plate 14 pushes the folding rod 18 to slide. The folding rod 18 slides to compress the starting spring 19 and pushes the lifting plate 17 to lift upward. The flowmeter 21 below the lifting plate 17 also rises simultaneously. When the switching partition 15 blocks the outlet of the right outlet 2, there is no water flow at the right outlet 2 at this time. Therefore, the lifting plate 17 and the flowmeter 21 are lifted by the folding rod 18, and only the unblocked liquid outlet is measured for flow.
[0029] Linkage flow measurement mechanisms are arranged on both the right outlet 2 and the left outlet 3.
[0030] The control valve further includes a power generation mechanism. The power generation mechanism includes a power generation shaft 23, which is rotatably installed on the valve body 1. An impeller 22 is fixedly installed on the power generation shaft 23, and an input bevel gear 24 is fixedly installed on the power generation shaft 23. A generator 26 is fixedly installed on the valve body 1, and an output bevel gear 25 is fixedly installed on the input rod of the generator 26. The output bevel gear 25 forms a gear engagement with the input bevel gear 24. Water flow impacts the impeller 22, the rotation of the impeller 22 drives the rotation of the power generation shaft 23, the power generation shaft 23 drives the rotation of the input bevel gear 24, the input bevel gear 24 drives the rotation of the output bevel gear 25, and the output bevel gear 25 drives the rotation of the input shaft of the generator 26 to generate electricity, collecting the energy of the water flow passing through.
[0031] A cable 32 is installed on the generator 26, and the cable 32 is connected to the double-acting cylinder 4. The electric energy stored in the generator 26 is transmitted to the double-acting cylinder 4 through the cable 32 to control the operation of the double-acting cylinder 4.
[0032] The control valve further includes an overspeed protection mechanism. The overspeed protection mechanism includes a centrifugal disc 27, which is fixedly installed on the power generation shaft 23. A chute is provided on the centrifugal disc 27, and a sliding rod 29 is installed on the chute of the centrifugal disc 27. The sliding rod 29 is slidably installed on the centrifugal disc 27. A centrifugal wheel 28 is fixedly installed on the sliding rod 29, a tension spring 30 is fixedly installed on the sliding rod 29, the tension spring 30 is fixedly connected to the centrifugal disc 27, and a sensor 31 is fixedly installed on the centrifugal disc 27. The rotation of the power generation shaft 23 drives the rotation of the centrifugal disc 27. When the centrifugal disc 27 rotates, due to the centrifugal force, the centrifugal wheel 28 tends to move outward and controls the movement of the sliding rod 29, while stretching the tension spring 30. When the speed is too high, the centrifugal wheel 28 will contact the sensor 31, and the sensor 31 will generate an electrical signal.
[0033] The sensor 31 is electrically connected to the double-acting cylinder 4. The signal generated by the sensor 31 is transmitted to the double-acting cylinder 4 to control the double-acting cylinder 4 to close and prevent the valve from being damaged.
