Two-phase gas-liquid cylinder valves can release pure gas and liquid phase fluids through the gas phase valve and liquid phase valve, respectively.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] Below, the present application is further described in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0037] In the description of this application, it should be noted that for directional words, such as the terms "center", "horizontal", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and so on, the directions and positional relationships indicated are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of this application.

[0038] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0039] The terms "comprises" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product or apparatus.

[0040] The inventor of this application has developed a gas-liquid two-phase multi-purpose gas cylinder valve, one embodiment of which is as follows: Figures 1 to 10 As shown, it includes a main valve body 2, which includes a gas phase valve 21 and a liquid phase valve 22. The main valve body 2 is provided with a main gas channel 211 and a main liquid channel 221 that are independent of each other. The gas phase valve 21 is suitable for controlling the gas phase fluid to flow out of the bottle valve through the main gas channel 211, and the liquid phase valve 22 is suitable for controlling the liquid phase fluid to flow out of the bottle valve through the main liquid channel 221. A diversion component 1 is detachably provided under the main valve body 2. The diversion component 1 is provided with a diversion gas channel 11 and a diversion liquid channel 12 that are independent of each other and can be closed, as well as a diversion gas channel 11 and a diversion liquid channel 12 that are used to connect the diversion gas channel 11 and the diversion liquid channel 12 and can be one-way sealed. The diverter gas channel 11 is suitable for connecting to the main gas channel 211, and the diverter liquid channel 12 is suitable for connecting to the main liquid channel 221. The diverter component 1 also includes a mixing valve 14, which is suitable for controlling the mixed fluid of liquid and gas to flow out of the bottle valve through the mixing channel 13. A connecting channel 1511 is also provided in the diverter component 1. The connecting channel 1511 has two groups and one end of the connecting channel 1511 is suitable for respectively connecting to the diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12, and the other end of the connecting channel 1511 is respectively connected to the gas phase fluid in the gas cylinder or the liquid phase fluid in the gas cylinder. It is worth mentioning that the gas phase valve 21 is suitable for controlling the gas phase fluid to flow out of the bottle valve through the main gas channel 211, and the liquid phase valve 22 is suitable for controlling the liquid phase fluid to flow out of the bottle valve through the main liquid channel 221. It is an existing technology. By turning the handle wheel on the liquid phase valve 22 or the gas phase valve 21, the valve stem is driven to move, and then the valve core is driven to move, thereby releasing the gas phase fluid or liquid phase fluid in the main gas channel 211 or the main liquid channel 221.

[0041] The gas-liquid two-phase multi-purpose bottle valve developed by the inventor of this application can output gas phase fluid alone, liquid phase fluid alone, and mixed fluid of gas phase and liquid phase, which can achieve the effect of one valve with multiple uses. In addition, a diverter gas channel 11 and a diverter liquid channel 12 are provided in the diverter assembly 1, which are independent and closable. It means that the diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12 are not connected to each other, so as to keep the channels clean. There are many ways to close the diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12, such as using a stop valve, a ball valve, etc. to achieve the closing effect. The closed structure is the prior art and will not be repeated here. It is worth mentioning that the cleanliness of the main gas channel 211 and the main liquid channel 221 can be ensured by the independent and closable diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12, as well as the one-way closable mixed flow channel 13, so as to ensure that the mixed fluid will not enter the main gas channel 211 or the main liquid channel 221. In addition, the mixed flow channel 13 can work alone and output the mixed fluid (a mixture of liquid phase fluid and gas phase fluid) as needed.

[0042] In this specific embodiment, Figure 1As shown, a diversion component 1 is detachably arranged below the main valve body 2, and the gas-phase fluid or liquid-phase fluid is connected to the closable main gas channel 211 and the main liquid channel 221 through two groups of connecting channels 1511 respectively. When the main gas channel 211 and the main liquid channel 221 are closed, the fluid can enter the mixing channel 13 through the one-way closed mixing channel 13 and be mixed, and finally leave the bottle valve under the control of the mixing valve 14.

[0043] The one-way closure of mixing channel 13 is intended to further ensure the cleanliness of diverter gas channel 11 and diverter liquid channel 12 during use and to prevent mutual interference between gaseous or liquid phases. Specifically, the one-way closure of mixing channel 13 means that fluid in diverter gas channel 11 or diverter liquid channel 12 can enter mixing channel 13 through the one-way closure structure, while fluid in mixing channel 13 cannot enter diverter gas channel 11 or diverter liquid channel 12 through the one-way closure structure. One-way closure structures are conventional technologies and include one-way valves, etc., and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] In a gas cylinder, the gas phase fluid is generally in the upper part of the gas cylinder and the liquid phase fluid is in the lower part of the gas cylinder. Therefore, one set of connecting channels 1511 can be connected to the upper part of the gas cylinder through the connecting pipe 100 for communicating the gas phase fluid in the gas cylinder, and the other set of connecting channels 1511 can be connected to the lower part of the gas cylinder through the connecting pipe 100 for communicating the liquid phase fluid in the gas cylinder. Figure 1 shown.

[0045] More preferably, Figure 5 As shown, the diversion component 1 includes a first combination part 16, a second combination part 17 and a third combination part 18 which are connected in sequence from top to bottom. The first combination part 16 is provided with a diversion gas channel 11 and a diversion liquid channel 12 which are independent and closable along the vertical direction, the second combination part 17 is provided with a switching channel 171 which is independent of each other along the vertical direction, and the third combination part 18 is provided with a mixing channel 13. The upper end of the switching channel 171 is suitable for connecting to the diversion gas channel 11 or the diversion liquid channel 12, and the lower end of the switching channel 171 is suitable for connecting to the mixing channel 13. A switching component 15 is provided in the switching channel 171. The switching component 15 is suitable for controlling the upward or downward movement of gas or liquid. The mixing valve 14 is provided at the end of the mixing channel 13 and controls the mixed fluid to flow out of the bottle valve through the mixing channel 13.

[0046] In this specific embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, when the switching component 15 controls the gas or liquid to move upward, the gas or liquid can enter the main gas channel 211 or the main liquid channel 221 through the diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12; when the switching component 15 controls the gas or liquid to move downward, the diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12 can be controlled to be in a closed state, and the gas or liquid can enter the mixing channel 13 and flow out of the bottle valve under the control of the mixing valve 14, thereby achieving the purpose of outputting liquid phase fluid, gas phase fluid or gas-liquid mixed fluid, and maintaining the purity of the output fluid to prevent them from interfering with each other.

[0047] More preferably, Figures 7 to 8c As shown, the switching assembly 15 includes a through pipe 151 and a switching cap 152. The through pipe 151 has two groups and is vertically arranged in the two groups of switching channels 171. The bottom of the third combination part 18 is vertically provided with two groups of through pipe connection ports 181. The through pipe connection ports 181 are suitable for connecting to the mixed flow channel 13 (such as Figure 10 As shown), the through pipe 151 is suitable for being installed in the through pipe connecting port 181 respectively, and the inner wall of the through pipe 151 is suitable for defining the connecting channel 1511; the switching cap 152 is slidably connected to the through pipe 151 along the vertical direction, and a first connecting port 1521 is vertically penetrated in the switching cap 152. The first connecting port 1521 is suitable for connecting the connecting channel 1511 and the diverter gas channel 11 or the diverter liquid channel 12. The inner wall of the lower part of the switching channel 171 expands radially outward to form a limiting through hole 1711. The limiting through hole 1711 forms a step structure with the inner wall of the switching channel 171 and the inner wall of the mixed flow channel 13 respectively, and the limiting through hole 1711 forms a step structure with the inner wall of the switching channel 171 and the inner wall of the mixed flow channel 13. The inner diameter of the position-limiting through-hole 1711 is larger than the inner diameter of the switching channel 171 and the inner diameter of the mixing channel 13. A protrusion 1523 is provided on the switching cap 152 to protrude radially outward. A plurality of second communication ports 1522 are provided on the protrusion 1523 in the vertical direction. The protrusion 1523 is adapted to respectively abut the upper and lower end surfaces of the step structure and limit the maximum distance of movement of the switching cap 152, while closing the second communication ports 1522. When the gas phase valve 21, the liquid phase valve 22, and the mixing valve 14 are all in the closed state, the switching cap 152 is located in the middle of the position-limiting through-hole 1711, and the second communication ports 1522 are in the open state. It is worth mentioning that the first communication ports 1521 are adapted to connect the connecting channel 1511 with the diverter gas channel 11 or the diverter liquid channel 12, which means that the first communication ports 1521 can connect the connecting channel 1511 with the diverter gas channel 11; and the first communication ports 1521 can connect the connecting channel 1511 with the diverter liquid channel 12. The limiting through hole 1711 forms a step structure with the inner wall of the switching channel 171 and the inner wall of the mixing channel 13, respectively. Figure 7 and Figure 8a As shown, the maximum moving distance of the switching cap 152 can be limited by the upper and lower end surfaces of the step structure.

[0048] like Figure 8a As shown, at this time, the gas phase valve 21, the liquid phase valve 22, and the mixing valve 14 are all in the closed state, the fluid in the gas cylinder is not flowing, the switching cap 152 is in the middle of the limiting through-hole 1711, and the second connecting port 1522 is in the open state. The fluid exists in the switching channel 171. Since the mixing channel 13 can be closed in one direction, the fluid can enter the mixing channel 13, but the fluid in the mixing channel 13 cannot reversely enter the switching channel 171. At this time, the diverter gas channel 11 or the diverter liquid channel 12 is in the closed state. It is also worth mentioning that since the air pressure on both sides of the switching cap 152 is consistent, the switching cap 152 can be suspended in the middle of the limiting through-hole 1711 due to friction.

[0049] like Figure 8b As shown, at this time, the gas phase valve 21 or the liquid phase valve 22 is in the open state, and the mixing valve 14 is in the open state. Under the drive of the fluid, the diversion gas channel 11 or the diversion liquid channel 12 is in the open state, and the fluid flows along Figure 8b The second connecting port 1522 is in a closed state, and the fluid cannot move downward, thereby entering the mixed flow channel 13. After closing the gas phase valve 21 or the liquid phase valve 22, the switching cap 152 returns to the middle position, and the second connecting port 1522 is in an open state again.

[0050] like Figure 8c As shown, when the mixing valve 14 is opened and the liquid phase valve 22 or the gas phase valve 21 is controlled to be in an open state, the diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12 are in a closed state, and the fluid can only enter the mixing channel 13 through the second communication port 1522. The direction of fluid movement is as shown in FIG. Figure 8c After closing the mixed flow channel 13, the switching cap 152 returns to the middle position, and the second communication port 1522 is in the open state again.

[0051] More preferably, Figure 8b As shown, the inner wall of the lower portion of the first communication port 1521 expands radially outward to form an expansion portion 1521a, and the expansion portion 1521a forms a step structure with the first communication port 1521. The inner wall of the expansion portion 1521a protrudes radially inward to form a limiting protrusion 1524, and the lower end surface of the limiting protrusion 1524 is suitable for contacting the upper end surface of the through pipe 151 (as shown in FIG. Figure 8aAs shown in FIG. 1 , the upper end surface of the limiting protrusion 1524 and the inner wall of the expansion portion 1521 define a drive cavity 1525. A gaseous or liquid-phase fluid is adapted to impact the upper inner wall of the drive cavity 1525, thereby driving the switching cap 152 upward. The limiting protrusion 1524 is provided to control the switching cap 152 to its lowest position when the gas phase valve 21, the liquid phase valve 22, and the mixing valve 14 are all closed and the switching cap 152 is in the neutral position. The limiting protrusion 1524 thereby controls the switching cap 152 to the middle of the limiting through-hole 1711. When the switching cap 152 is in the neutral position, the second communication port 1522 is open.

[0052] More preferably, Figure 9a and Figure 9b As shown, a one-way diaphragm 1512 is also provided on the through pipe 151. The one-way diaphragm 1512 is suitable for controlling the fluid from the switching channel 171 to enter the mixed flow channel 13, and preventing the fluid from entering the switching channel 171 from the mixed flow channel 13. Figure 9a As shown, due to the structure of the one-way diaphragm 1512, the fluid in the mixed flow channel 13 cannot pass through the one-way diaphragm 1512 into the switching channel 171, while the fluid in the switching channel 171 can push open the one-way diaphragm 1512 and enter the mixed flow channel 13, as shown in FIG. Figure 9b As shown, such an arrangement can keep the diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12 clean.

[0053] More preferably, Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the through tube 151 is provided with threads. A connecting tube 100 is provided in the gas cylinder. The connecting tube 100 has two sets, one for connecting the gas phase fluid and the other for connecting the liquid phase fluid. The connecting tube 100 is detachably connected to the through tube 151 via threads. In this specific embodiment, the through tube 151 and the gas phase fluid or liquid phase fluid are connected through the connecting tube 100, which can improve the sealing performance and prevent these fluids from escaping from the joint.

[0054] Further preferably, as shown in the figure, the diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12 both include a conical channel 113 that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and a one-way ball 112 is arranged in the conical channel 113. The outer wall of the one-way ball 112 is suitable for cooperating with the inner wall of the conical channel 113 to form a closed structure, and the upper part of the one-way ball 112 is connected to a spring 111, which is suitable for controlling the one-way ball 112 to press the inner wall of the conical channel 113.

[0055] A conical channel 113 is provided, which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. A one-way ball 112 is provided within the conical channel 113. A spring 111 is provided so that when the gas phase valve 21 and the liquid phase valve 22 are in the closed state, the spring 111 can control the one-way ball 112 to press against the inner wall of the conical channel 113, thereby closing the diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12. When the gas phase valve 21 or the liquid phase valve 22 is in the open state, the main gas channel 211 and the main liquid channel 221 discharge fluid outward. Therefore, under the action of the fluid, the one-way ball 112 will move upward, thereby opening the diverter gas channel 11 and the diverter liquid channel 12.

[0056] More preferably, Figure 10 As shown, the mixed flow channel 13 includes a liquid section 131, a gas section 132, and a mixing section 133. The liquid section 131 and the gas section 132 are arranged vertically, and the heads of the liquid section 131 and the gas section 132 are adapted to communicate with the switching channel 171. The mixing section 133 is arranged horizontally, and the tails of the liquid section 131 and the gas section 132 are adapted to communicate with the mixing section 133. The middle of the mixing section 133 is also connected to an outflow section 1331, and the mixed fluid is adapted to flow out of the bottle valve through the outflow section 1331. Controlling the mixing section 133 to be arranged horizontally and controlling the tails of the liquid section 131 and the gas section 132 to be connected to the mixing section 133 can make it easier for the fluid to enter the mixed flow channel 13 downward, and prevent it from flowing back into the switching channel 171, thereby keeping the main gas channel 211 and the main liquid channel 221 clean.

[0057] More preferably, Figure 1 As shown, the gas cylinder valve includes an outer shell 3, which is suitable for being mounted on the outside of the main valve body 2 and the diverter assembly 1. The main valve body 2 and the diverter assembly 1 are both detachably connected to the outer shell 3 through threads; a sealing ring 4 is also provided between the main valve body 2 and the outer shell 3, and the sealing ring 4 is suitable for controlling the sealing between the outer shell 3 and the main valve body 2.

[0058] Since the internal structure of the diverter assembly 1 is relatively complex, the diverter assembly is formed by the first combination part 16, the second combination part 17 and the third combination part 18. In order to increase the sealing performance, the outer shell 3 and the threaded connection of the outer shell 3 greatly increase the sealing performance between the outer shell 3 and the diverter assembly 1 and the main valve body 2, making the use of the bottle valve more stable and preventing gas leakage.

[0059] More preferably, Figure 1 As shown, a fusible alloy plug 5 is also provided within the main liquid passage 221. When the temperature is too high, the fusible alloy plug 5 is adapted to melt and relieve the pressure in the gas cylinder. Because liquids have a higher energy density and are more dangerous, the provision of the fusible alloy plug 5 within the main liquid passage 221 maximizes the safety of the cylinder valve.
