AI Technical Summary
The flow rate of existing electric ball valves is easily affected by the pressure of the upstream water source, making it difficult to reach the specified flow rate within a fixed time.
An intelligent intrinsically safe electric ball valve was designed. By setting a pressure chamber and a drive chamber in the housing, the water pressure is distributed to the pressure chamber through the pressure dividing pipe, which pushes the sliding plate and sliding column to move, thereby adjusting the rotation of the second valve core, so as to achieve stable control of the water flow. It also filters impurities in the medium through a filter screen, and uses a sealing plate and elastic element to interrupt the flow when the filter screen is blocked to remind replacement.
It achieves stable regulation of water flow through the electric ball valve, automatically adjusts according to water pressure changes, filters impurities, and interrupts flow to remind replacement when the filter screen is clogged, thus improving the stability of flow control and the safety of the equipment.
