[0039] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0040] Please refer toFigures 1 - 3 , in this embodiment, a liquid flow controller 100 is provided. The liquid flow controller 100 includes a liquid seat 110, a connection seat 120, a sealing shaft 130, a sealing ring 140, a liquid diaphragm 150, and a pneumatic assembly 160;

[0041] The liquid seat 110 is connected to the connection seat 120; the liquid diaphragm 150 is connected to the liquid seat 110 or the connection seat 120, and the liquid diaphragm 150 and the liquid seat 110 jointly define a liquid guiding cavity 101; the liquid seat 110 is provided with a liquid inlet 111 and a liquid outlet 112 that communicate with the liquid guiding cavity 101, and the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid outlet 112 are perpendicularly arranged; the sealing ring 140 is arranged at the liquid inlet 111, and the sealing shaft 130 is movably arranged at the liquid inlet 111; the pneumatic assembly 160 is connected to the connection seat 120, and the pneumatic assembly 160 is in transmission connection with the sealing shaft 130;

[0042] Wherein, the pneumatic assembly 160 is used to drive the sealing shaft 130 to move relative to the liquid inlet 111, so that the sealing shaft 130 abuts against the sealing ring 140, thereby blocking the liquid inlet 111 from the liquid guiding cavity 101, or, making the sealing shaft 130 spaced from the sealing ring 140, thereby making the liquid inlet 111 communicate with the liquid guiding cavity 101.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the working principle of the liquid flow controller 100 is as follows:

[0044] The liquid flow controller 100 includes a liquid seat 110, a connection seat 120, a sealing shaft 130, a sealing ring 140, a liquid diaphragm 150, and a pneumatic assembly 160; wherein, the liquid seat 110 is connected to the connection seat 120; the liquid diaphragm 150 is connected to the liquid seat 110 or the connection seat 120, and the liquid diaphragm 150 and the liquid seat 110 jointly define a liquid guiding cavity 101; the liquid seat 110 is provided with a liquid inlet 111 and a liquid outlet 112 that communicate with the liquid guiding cavity 101; and the sealing ring 140 is arranged at the liquid inlet 111, and the sealing shaft 130 is movably arranged at the liquid inlet 111; the pneumatic assembly 160 is connected to the connection seat 120, and the pneumatic assembly 160 is in transmission connection with the sealing shaft 130; thus, through such a setting method, the pneumatic assembly 160 can be used to drive the sealing shaft 130 to move relative to the liquid inlet 111, and then, during the movement of the sealing shaft 130, the liquid inlet 111 is opened to communicate the liquid inlet 111 with the liquid guiding cavity 101, or the liquid inlet 111 is closed to block the liquid inlet 111 from the liquid guiding cavity 101, so that the control of the diversion flow rate of the feed inlet can be realized by controlling the movement of the sealing shaft 130;

[0045] Moreover, when setting the liquid flow controller 100, since the liquid diaphragm 150 and the liquid seat 110 are used together to define the liquid guiding cavity 101 inside it, thus, during the process of guiding the liquid, the liquid diaphragm 150 can play a role in reducing the pressure fluctuation of the liquid, and further make the fluid flow velocity at the liquid outlet 112 more stable;

[0046] Moreover, since the pneumatic component 160 is used to control the movement of the sealing shaft 130, thus, through the movement of the pneumatic component 160, the movement of the sealing shaft 130 can be accurately controlled, so that the conduction flow rate can be accurately controlled, and the number of structures located in the liquid guiding cavity 101 can be reduced, thereby optimizing the internal structure of the liquid flow controller 100, making its internal structure simple and smooth, not easily generating large shear stresses, and at the same time being easier to clean, and being applicable to the flow rate adjustment of various fluid types.

[0047] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the number of structures located in the liquid guiding cavity 101 and make the inside of the liquid guiding cavity 101 smooth and not easily generate large shear stresses, a circular groove 113 is opened on one side of the liquid seat 110 facing the connecting seat 120, and the circular groove 113 and the liquid diaphragm 150 together define the liquid guiding cavity 101.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 When setting the sealing shaft 130, the sealing shaft 130 includes a first part 131 and a second part 132 arranged along its axis; the first part 131 is used to abut against the sealing ring 140, and the second part 132 is connected to the pneumatic component 160; wherein, a conical surface 133 for abutting against the sealing ring 140 is provided on the first part 131. By such a setting method, the size parameters of the conical surface 133 of the first part 131 of the sealing shaft 130 can be adjusted to be suitable for the flow rate adjustment of different types of fluids. For example, in this embodiment, the sealing shaft 130 has two conical surface forms, namely a long conical surface (as shown in Figure A in Figure 4 ) and a short conical surface (as shown in Figure B in Figure 4 ), the long conical surface is responsible for the flow rate adjustment of small flow rates or low viscosities, and the short conical surface is responsible for the flow rate adjustment of high flow rates or high viscosities;

[0049] In addition, the hardness of the sealing shaft 130 can also be adjusted to make it suitable for the flow rate adjustment of different types of fluids; for example, the sealing shafts 130 with high hardness and low hardness are respectively responsible for the flow rate adjustment of abrasive liquids and ordinary liquids.

[0050] Furthermore, please refer to Figures 1 - 5In this embodiment, when the sealing shaft 130 is set, since the liquid guiding cavity 101 is formed by the liquid diaphragm 150 and the liquid seat 110, and the pneumatic component 160 and the liquid inlet 111 are distributed on opposite sides of the liquid guiding cavity 101, and the pneumatic component 160 is located outside the liquid guiding cavity 101, so that the sealing shaft 130 can be connected with the pneumatic component 160 in a transmission manner, a part of the sealing shaft 130 extends toward the direction of the liquid guiding cavity 101, and passes through the liquid diaphragm 150 to connect with the pneumatic component 160. That is, a part of the sealing shaft 130 extends toward the direction of the liquid guiding cavity 101 into the liquid guiding cavity 101, and after passing through the liquid diaphragm 150, it is connected with the pneumatic component 160 located outside the liquid guiding cavity 101; thus, through such a setting, the number of structures located in the liquid guiding cavity 101 can be reduced.

[0051] For further information, please refer to Figures 1 - 5 In this embodiment, in order to enable the pneumatic assembly 160 to drive the sealing shaft 130 to move, when the pneumatic assembly 160 is set, the pneumatic assembly 160 includes a gas diaphragm 161 and a movable part 162;

[0052] The connection seat 120 is provided with an active channel 121 and an air pressure regulating port 122. The gas diaphragm 161 is arranged in the active channel 121 and forms an air pressure chamber 102 together with the inner wall of the connection seat 120. The air pressure regulating port 122 is communicated with the air pressure chamber 102.

[0053] The movable member 162 is movably disposed in the movable channel 121 , the movable member 162 abuts against the gas diaphragm 161 , and is located on a side of the gas diaphragm 161 close to the liquid diaphragm 150 ; the movable member 162 is connected to the sealing shaft 130 ;

[0054] The air pressure regulating port 122 is used to introduce air to increase the pressure in the air pressure chamber 102 , thereby driving the sealing shaft 130 connected to the movable member 162 to move toward the direction of the open liquid inlet 111 .

[0055] Thus, in this way, it can be connected to the air pressure regulating port 122 through an external air pressure pipeline. Furthermore, by injecting gas into the air pressure chamber 102, the pressure in the air pressure chamber 102 can be increased. Thus, after the pressure in the air pressure chamber 102 increases, the volume in the air pressure chamber 102 will increase, and then the gas diaphragm 161 will deform, and the direction of its deformation is towards the liquid guiding chamber 101. Furthermore, the deformation of the gas diaphragm 161 can drive the movable member 162 in contact with the gas diaphragm 161 to move towards the liquid guiding chamber 101. Thus, during the movement of the movable member 162, the sealing shaft 130 connected to the movable member 162 can be driven to move. At this time, since the movement direction of the sealing shaft 130 driven by the movable member 162 is from the air pressure chamber 102 direction to the liquid guiding chamber 101 direction, at this time, the movement of the sealing shaft 130 will open the liquid inlet 111, that is, connect the liquid inlet 111 to the liquid guiding chamber 101. During this process, it should be noted that by adjusting the amount of gas in the introduced gas chamber, the pressure in the air pressure chamber 102 can be controlled hollowly, and then the deformation amount of the gas diaphragm 161 can be controlled, so that the movement stroke of the movable member 162 in the movement channel 121 can be controlled. Thus, the movement stroke of the sealing shaft 130 can be controlled, and then the on-off flow rate between the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid guiding chamber 101 can be adjusted.

[0056] It should also be noted that, as can be seen from the above content, by introducing gas into the air pressure chamber 102, the sealing shaft 130 can be driven to move in the direction of connecting the liquid inlet 111 to the liquid guiding chamber 101, and the on-off flow rate between the liquid inlet 111 and the liquid guiding chamber 101 can be adjusted. When the pressure in the air pressure chamber 102 decreases, in order to make the sealing shaft 130 move in the direction of blocking the liquid inlet 111, therefore, the pneumatic component 160 further includes a reset member 163. The reset member 163 is arranged in the movement channel 121 and is connected to the movable member 162. The reset member 163 is used to make the sealing shaft 130 have a tendency to move in the direction of blocking the liquid inlet 111. Thus, through the setting of the reset member 163, when the air pressure in the air pressure chamber 102 decreases, the movable member 162 can drive the sealing shaft 130 to move in the direction of the liquid guiding chamber 101 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the reset member 163, and then the liquid inlet 111 is blocked; similarly, when gas is introduced into the air pressure chamber 102 to drive the sealing shaft 130 to move in the direction of connecting the liquid inlet 111 to the liquid guiding chamber 101, the elastic force of the reset member 163 needs to be overcome.

[0057] Based on the above structural setting of the reset member 163, please refer to Figures 1 - 5, in this embodiment, the movable member 162 includes a spring pressing piece 164 and a diaphragm fixing piece 165; the spring pressing piece 164 abuts against the gas diaphragm 161, and the reset member 163 is connected to the spring pressing piece 164; the diaphragm fixing piece 165 is connected to the spring pressing piece 164 and clamps the liquid diaphragm 150. Among them, when setting the spring pressing piece 164, since the spring pressing piece 164 abuts against the gas diaphragm 161, the reset member 163 is connected to the spring pressing piece 164, and the diaphragm fixing piece 165 is connected to the spring pressing piece 164. Therefore, when connecting the sealing shaft 130 to the movable member 162, the sealing shaft 130 can be connected to the spring pressing piece 164 or the diaphragm fixing piece 165; in addition, after the pressure in the air pressure chamber 102 increases, it will cause the volume in the air pressure chamber 102 to increase, and then cause the gas diaphragm 161 to deform, and the direction of its deformation is towards the liquid guiding chamber 101. Furthermore, the deformation of the gas diaphragm 161 can drive the spring pressing piece 164 abutting against the gas diaphragm 161 to move towards the liquid guiding chamber 101, overcoming the elastic force of the reset member 163, and then driving the sealing shaft 130 connected to the spring pressing piece 164 or the diaphragm fixing piece 165 to move.

[0058] It should be noted that the size of the spring pressing piece 164 needs to be selected according to the size of the outlet liquid pressure. A larger diameter spring pressing piece 164 needs to be selected for a high outlet pressure. When setting the diaphragm fixing piece 165, in order to enable the diaphragm fixing piece 165 to clamp the liquid diaphragm 150, the diaphragm fixing piece 165 can be made in a split manner, so that the diaphragm fixing piece 165 includes multiple sub-bodies, and the multiple sub-bodies are distributed on both sides of the liquid diaphragm 150, and the sub-bodies on both sides are connected to each other, so as to be able to position and fix the liquid diaphragm 150.

[0059] Furthermore, please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , when adopting the pneumatic component 160 in the above content, in order to enable the pneumatic component 160 to move in the connection seat 120, the movable channel 121 includes a first segment 123, a second segment 124, and a third segment 125. The first segment 123, the second segment 124, and the third segment 125 are arranged in sequence from the gas diaphragm 161 to the liquid diaphragm 150 and are in communication with each other; among them, the diameter of the second segment 124 is smaller than the diameters of the first segment 123 and the third segment 125; in addition, both ends of the movable channel 121 are open, that is, the first segment 123 and the second segment 124 are open, and a top cover 126 is connected to the open end of the first segment 123. The top cover 126 is used to block the opening of the first segment 123, and the air pressure adjustment port 122 is opened on the top cover 126, and the third segment 125 is adjacent to the liquid diaphragm 150;

[0060] The gas diaphragm 161 is accommodated in the first segment 123, and the reset member 163 is accommodated in the second segment 124; the spring pressing piece 164 is movably arranged in the first segment 123 and the second segment 124; part of the diaphragm fixing piece 165 is accommodated in the second segment 124, and the remaining part is located in the third segment 125, and the part of the diaphragm fixing piece 165 accommodated in the second segment 124 and the spring pressing piece 164.

[0061] Therefore, through such a setting, the change of the pressure of the gas chamber located in the first segment 123 can drive the spring pressure plate 164 to move in the first segment 123 and the second segment 124, and then drive the diaphragm fixing plate 165 connected to the spring pressure plate 164 to move in the third segment 125, and in the process can drive the sealing shaft 130 to move.

[0062] In the foregoing content, since the reset member 163 is arranged in the second segment 124, and the reset member 163 is used to make the sealing shaft 130 have a tendency to move in the direction of blocking the liquid inlet 111, that is, the reset member 163 is used to make the spring pressure plate 164 have a tendency to move from the third segment 125 toward the first segment 123, thus, a limiting platform 127 is arranged in the second segment 124, and the reset member 163 abuts against the side of the limiting platform 127 facing away from the liquid diaphragm 150.

[0063] For further information, please refer to Figures 1 - 5 In the present embodiment, since the diaphragm fixing sheet 165 clamps the liquid diaphragm 150, in order to restrict the movement of the liquid diaphragm 150, the portion of the diaphragm fixing sheet 165 accommodated in the second segment 124 is provided with an abutting portion 166 abutting against one end of the third segment 125 toward the liquid diaphragm 150. By abutting the diaphragm fixing sheet 165 against one end of the third segment 125 toward the liquid diaphragm 150, the movement of the diaphragm fixing sheet 165 can be restricted, thereby restricting the movement of the liquid diaphragm 150.

[0064] In summary, please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , the liquid flow controller 100 has the following advantages:

[0065] Reduce the maintenance difficulty and cost of components; indirectly control the size of liquid flow by simply controlling the size of gas pressure, and the control structure is simpler, safer and more reliable;

[0066] The existing flow controller is not suitable for abrasive liquids. The liquid flow controller 100 is suitable for flow control of abrasive liquids after improving the sealing structure, and can play a role in reducing fluid pressure fluctuations to a certain extent.

[0067] In the existing flow controller, there are springs and dead corners in the fluid pipeline, which are difficult to clean thoroughly during cleaning. The cavity of the liquid flow controller 100 is smooth without dead corners and there is no return spring, which is not easy to generate large shear stress. At the same time, it is easier to clean and prevent liquid residue during cleaning;

[0068] The adjustment interval sensitivity of the conventional flow controller is fixed. The liquid flow controller 100 can achieve a high adjustment interval for different outlet pressures by selecting different sealing shafts 130, sealing rings 140, spring pressing pieces 164 and reset parts 163;

[0069] The existing flow control has a very small flow adjustment range for high-viscosity liquids such as fluids with a viscosity higher than 10,000 CPS and is basically inapplicable.
