Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solenoid valves, and specifically relates to a flushing and pressure reducing integrated valve. Background Technology

[0002] Flushing valves are commonly used in smart toilets. Existing flushing valves generally consist of a pulse solenoid valve body and a pressure-reducing mechanism. The pulse solenoid valve body and the pressure-reducing mechanism are connected via piping, resulting in a relatively large overall structure and limited installation. Furthermore, the pulse solenoid valve body often has a sealing diaphragm, and the large area of ​​the diaphragm contributes to the large size of the pulse solenoid valve body, further increasing the overall size of the flushing valve and reducing its versatility. Secondly, the pressure-reducing mechanism in existing flushing valves is complex. It typically includes a pull rod and a pressure-reducing valve body; the connection between the pressure-reducing valve body and the main valve body is secured with screws. This restricts the movement space of the pull rod within the pressure-reducing valve body, leading to poor pressure reduction when water pressure is unstable and a risk of excessive pressure when the flushing valve is closed. Therefore, a flushing and pressure-reducing integrated valve is needed to overcome these difficulties. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by designing an integrated flushing and pressure reducing valve. The invention incorporates a pressure relief control component and a flushing solenoid valve on the main valve body to control the flow of water. A pressure reducing channel is provided within the main valve body, with a pressure reducing solenoid valve and a pressure reducing component installed at both ends of the channel. Excess water flow within the main valve body is discharged through a vacuum pressure relief mechanism above the pressure reducing component. The pressure reducing effect is stable and reliable, and the main valve body simultaneously possesses flushing and pressure reducing functions.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a flushing and pressure-reducing integrated valve, comprising a main valve body, an inlet pipe on the main valve body, and paired outlet pipes on both sides of the inlet pipe; a connecting channel for connecting the inlet pipe and the outlet pipes within the main valve body; a back pressure chamber between the inlet pipe and the connecting channel; and a pressure relief control assembly within the main valve body for controlling the opening and closing of the back pressure chamber and the connecting channel. The pressure relief control assembly includes a mounting cover and an elastic seal for sealing the connecting channel. A flushing solenoid valve for controlling the elastic deformation of the elastic seal is located above the mounting cover. The mounting cover is also provided with an upward pressure relief channel connected to the water outlet pipe; the water inlet pipe is provided with a pressure reducing channel, one end of which is provided with a pressure reducing solenoid valve, and the other end of which is provided with a pressure reducing assembly. The pressure reducing assembly includes a pressure reducing valve body and a pull rod. The open end of the pressure reducing valve body is provided with a vacuum pressure relief mechanism. The vacuum pressure relief mechanism includes a backflow prevention seat and a vacuum cover. The backflow prevention seat is located between the open end of the pressure reducing valve body and the vacuum cover. The backflow prevention seat is provided with a first sealing gasket. The side of the pressure reducing valve body is provided with a pressure reducing pipeline, and the vacuum cover is connected to the open end of the connecting channel.

[0005] Preferably, the pressure relief control assembly further includes a sealing ring bracket and a helical spring. The elastic seal is disc-shaped, with its edge abutting the opening end of the main valve body and the water inlet end of the connecting channel. The sealing ring bracket is detachably connected to the elastic seal and faces the mounting cover. The sealing ring bracket has a back pressure channel. The end of the helical spring has an extension shaft that passes through the back pressure channel. One end of the helical spring abuts against the mounting cover, and the other end abuts against the sealing ring bracket. The mounting cover has a water passage, one end of which communicates with the upper flushing pressure relief channel, and the other end of which has a flushing solenoid valve.

[0006] When the flushing solenoid valve is not energized, the water passage is closed. Water from the inlet pipe flows into the back pressure chamber through the back pressure channel. The water only accumulates in the back pressure chamber, where the pressure is high, squeezing the elastic seal. The elastic seal then presses against the inlet end of the connecting channel, keeping the main valve body closed. When the flushing solenoid valve is energized, the water passage opens, reducing the water pressure in the back pressure chamber. The elastic seal deforms, moving away from the inlet pipe of the connecting channel. Water then flows into the connecting channel through the inlet pipe and then into the outlet pipe. Because the helical spring has an extension shaft, when the elastic seal deforms, the extension shaft moves axially relative to the back pressure channel, preventing blockage of the back pressure channel. When the flushing solenoid valve is energized, the water passage and the upper flushing pressure relief passage are connected. The upper flushing pressure relief passage is connected to the outlet pipe. The water in the back pressure chamber will enter the outlet pipe along the upper flushing pressure relief passage. The water pressure in the back pressure chamber will drop rapidly. The elastic seal will deform more, and the water can quickly enter the outlet pipe from the inlet pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the sealing ring bracket has a limiting part in the middle, and the limiting part has protruding parts at both ends. Both the limiting part and the protruding parts are connected to the elastic seal. One of the protruding parts has a back pressure channel, and the extension shaft is inserted into the back pressure channel and extends toward the mounting cover. The inner diameter of the back pressure channel is larger than the outer diameter of the extension shaft, and the extension shaft is set perpendicular to the mounting cover.

[0008] By incorporating a limiting part and an outward protrusion, the elastic seal can be securely installed on the sealing ring bracket; a back pressure channel is provided on the outward protrusion to facilitate the insertion of the extension shaft. The sealing ring bracket also facilitates the limiting of the helical spring, confining it between the sealing ring bracket and the mounting cover.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting cover has a water inlet, one end of which is connected to the back pressure chamber and the other end to the water passage. A flushing solenoid valve is located at the top of the water passage to control the connection between the upward flushing pressure relief passage and the water inlet. Steel balls for sealing are located at both ends of the upward flushing pressure relief passage, and a main pressure relief passage connected to the outlet pipe is located at the end of the upward flushing pressure relief passage near the steel balls. The flushing solenoid valve includes a first encapsulated coil, a first iron core, a first spring, and a first rubber core. A connection is provided between the first encapsulated coil and the mounting cover. The first iron plate, the first iron core is set inside the first encapsulated coil, the first spring is sleeved and installed on the first iron core, and the end of the first iron core is provided with a first rubber core; when the first encapsulated coil is energized, the first iron core drives the first rubber core away from the opening end of the water flow channel; the edge of the mounting cover abuts against the edge of the elastic seal, and the mounting cover is installed on the main valve body by screws; the middle of the mounting cover is provided with a pair of strip-shaped protrusions, the strip-shaped protrusions are respectively set on both sides of the pressure reducing valve body, and the end face of the strip-shaped protrusions fits against the pressure reducing valve body.

[0010] When the flushing solenoid valve is de-energized, the first rubber core rests against the water passage, thus closing the water passage and preventing water in the back pressure chamber from entering the upper flushing pressure relief passage through the inlet. When the flushing solenoid valve is energized, the first iron core drives the first rubber core to disengage from the water passage, opening the water passage. Water in the back pressure chamber then enters the water passage through the inlet, then the upper flushing pressure relief passage, and finally the main pressure relief passage, which connects to the outlet pipe, causing a drop in pressure in the back pressure chamber. At this time, the first spring is compressed, and the water pressure in the back pressure chamber drops immediately. This causes the elastic seal to deform, and the helical spring to compress. When the elastic seal deforms, the connecting channel opens, allowing water to quickly enter from the inlet pipe. When the flushing solenoid valve is de-energized, the first spring resets, the water passage closes, and water re-gathers in the back pressure chamber. This blocks the connecting channel, closing the main valve body. By setting a strip-shaped protrusion on the mounting cover, the pressure reducing valve body is limited, preventing it from shaking relative to the main valve body during pressure reduction, thus making the connection between the pressure reducing valve body and the main valve body more stable and reliable.

[0011] Preferably, the pressure-reducing assembly further includes a diaphragm, a metal gasket, a locking nut, a pressure-reducing spring, an adjusting screw, a pressure-reducing sealing cap, and a bottom cap; the pressure-reducing valve body and the pressure-reducing sealing cap are connected by screws, and the side opening of the pressure-reducing valve body is provided with a bottom cap that is snapped into it; the diaphragm is sleeved and installed at the end of the pull rod, and the two ends of the diaphragm are provided with metal gaskets that fit against it; the end of the pull rod is provided with a locking nut that is threaded into it, and the locking nut fits against the metal gasket; the pressure-reducing sealing cap is provided with an adjusting screw that is threaded into it, and a pressure-reducing spring is provided between the adjusting screw and the pull rod, one end of the pressure-reducing spring abutting against the adjusting screw, and the other end abutting against the metal gasket at the end of the pull rod; the pressure-reducing valve body is provided with a water passage hole, and the pull rod is inserted into the water passage hole; when the pressure-reducing solenoid valve is energized, the end of the pressure-reducing flow channel is connected to the water passage hole; the pressure-reducing valve body is located between the main valve body and the vacuum cover body, and the vacuum cover body is snapped into the main valve body.

[0012] When the water pressure in the main valve body is too high, the pressure-reducing solenoid valve opens, and water flows into the pressure-reducing channel along the inlet pipe, then into the pressure-reducing valve body, thus pushing the lever. Because the metal washer on the lever is held in place by the pressure-reducing spring between it and the adjusting screw, the water flow area between the lever and the water passage hole decreases when the water pressure pushes the lever. When the water pressure is high, the water flow velocity through the water passage hole is faster, thus keeping the water flow rate essentially constant. After passing through the water passage hole, the water impacts the anti-backflow seat upwards, and the first sealing gasket blocks the vacuum cover, allowing the water in the pressure-reducing valve body to flow out along the pressure-reducing pipe, reducing the water pressure in the main valve body. When the water pressure in the main valve body is low, the water flow area between the lever and the water passage hole increases, and the water flow velocity through the water passage hole is slower, thus keeping the water flow rate essentially constant. The distance between the adjusting screw and the metal washer can be easily adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw, thus adjusting the elastic deformation of the pressure-reducing spring and facilitating water pressure regulation. The pressure reducing valve body is positioned between the main valve body and the vacuum cover, which allows the pressure reducing valve body to remain fixed to the main valve body.

[0013] Preferably, a first O-ring for waterproofing is provided between the pull rod and the bottom cover, and a second O-ring for waterproofing is provided between the bottom cover and the pressure reducing valve body; a circular through hole is provided at the end of the pull rod facing the metal gasket, and a columnar through hole is provided at the end of the pull rod facing the bottom cover, the circular through hole and the columnar through hole are perpendicular to each other and communicate with each other; the bottom of the pressure reducing valve body is fitted with the main valve body, and the top of the pressure reducing valve body is fitted with the vacuum cover; a stop part is provided on the side of the main valve body, and the bottom cover is fitted with the stop part.

[0014] Water flows into the pressure-reducing valve body along the pressure-reducing channel, then flows through the circular through-hole to the cylindrical through-hole, and finally converges on the bottom cover. This causes the water to impact the pull rod, moving it towards the adjusting screw. The bottom cover is secured against the abutment, and because the abutment is snapped into the valve body, the pull rod has more room to move, resulting in better pressure reduction. Simultaneously, with the bottom cover against the abutment, the pressure-reducing assembly is more stable during pressure reduction, making the process more reliable.

[0015] Preferably, the pressure-reducing solenoid valve includes a second encapsulated coil, a second iron core, a second spring, and a second rubber core. A second iron plate is provided between the second encapsulated coil and the main valve body to connect the two. The second iron core is disposed inside the second encapsulated coil, and the second spring is sleeved and installed on the second iron core. The second rubber core is provided at the end of the second iron core. When the second encapsulated coil is energized, the second iron core drives the second rubber core away from the opening end of the pressure-reducing flow channel. The pressure-reducing flow channel is interconnected with the water passage hole, and the water passage hole is interconnected with the vacuum pressure relief mechanism.

[0016] When the pressure-reducing solenoid valve is energized, the second iron core moves the second rubber core away from the pressure-reducing flow channel, opening the flow channel. This allows water to flow into the valve body through the inlet pipe, pushing the lever and achieving pressure reduction. Simultaneously, the valve body is connected to a vacuum relief mechanism, allowing water to drain out along the pressure-reducing pipeline, resulting in effective and reliable pressure reduction.

[0017] Preferably, the vacuum pressure relief mechanism further includes a pressure relief cover, a pressure relief spring, a pressure relief seat, a valve core gasket, and a first sealing gasket; the first sealing gasket is disposed on the outer layer of the anti-backflow seat, and the anti-backflow seat is disposed between the open end of the pressure reducing valve body and the vacuum cover; when the anti-backflow seat moves upward due to water pressure impact, the first sealing gasket and the open end of the vacuum cover fit together; the bottom of the anti-backflow seat is provided with a first through hole, the first through hole is provided with a valve core gasket, the valve core gasket is provided with a pressure relief seat, and the pressure relief cover is provided above the pressure relief seat, the pressure relief cover and the anti-backflow seat are detachably connected; a pressure relief spring is provided between the pressure relief cover and the pressure relief seat, one end of the pressure relief spring abuts against the pressure relief cover, and the other end abuts against the pressure relief seat; the vacuum cover is snap-fitted to the main valve body, the vacuum cover extends into the pressure reducing valve body, and a third O-ring is provided between the vacuum cover and the pressure reducing valve body to seal both.

[0018] When water flows upwards through the water passage, it impacts the anti-backflow seat. As the anti-backflow seat moves upwards, the first sealing gasket comes into contact with the opening of the vacuum cover. This forces the water to flow only along the pressure-reducing pipe on the side of the pressure-reducing valve body. When the water pressure is high, some water flows out from the pressure-reducing pipe, while some water flows along the first through-hole on the anti-backflow seat, impacting the valve core gasket. The valve core gasket and the pressure relief seat simultaneously approach the pressure relief cover. This allows the water to flow along the anti-backflow seat into the vacuum cover, and then along the vacuum cover into the connecting channel. This synchronizes the reduction of water pressure within the pressure-reducing valve body, resulting in a good pressure-reducing effect.

[0019] Preferably, the vacuum cover has several evenly distributed guide protrusions inside its open end, and the outer layer of the anti-backflow seat is in contact with the guide protrusions; the inner wall of the anti-backflow seat has several evenly distributed limiting protrusions, and the outer wall of the pressure relief seat is in contact with the limiting protrusions; the side wall of the anti-backflow seat has paired limiting holes, and the outer wall of the pressure relief cover has paired cylindrical protrusions, which are disposed in the limiting holes.

[0020] By setting guide protrusions, the anti-backflow seat can only move up and down along the direction of the guide protrusions. By setting limit protrusions, the pressure relief seat can only move up and down along the axis of the limit protrusions. The cylindrical protrusion on the pressure relief cover is engaged in the limit hole, so that the pressure relief cover can be stably connected to the anti-backflow seat.

[0021] Preferably, the vacuum cover is provided with a vent cover that is snapped together with it, and the vacuum cover is in communication with the connecting channel; a movable water sealing component is provided between the connecting channel and the vacuum cover, and a second sealing gasket and a third sealing gasket are respectively provided on the two end faces of the movable water sealing component; the second sealing gasket and the third sealing gasket are arranged side by side and adjacent to each other, with the second sealing gasket facing the vacuum cover and the third sealing gasket facing the opening end of the connecting channel.

[0022] When water flows from the connecting channel into the outlet pipe, the water pressure causes the movable sealing element to move upwards, thus blocking the vacuum cover with the second sealing gasket. Water can then only enter the outlet pipe along the connecting channel. When there is no water in the connecting channel, a negative pressure exists within it. Under the influence of gravity, the movable sealing element blocks the connecting channel through the third sealing gasket, preventing water from flowing back into the connecting channel from the outlet pipe.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: This invention sets up a pressure relief control component between the connecting channel and the back pressure chamber of the main valve body. The opening and closing of the water flow channel is controlled by a flushing solenoid valve, causing changes in the water pressure within the back pressure chamber. This causes elastic deformation of the elastic seal, opening or closing the connecting channel when the elastic seal deforms, thus facilitating control of the main valve body's opening and closing. Because the mounting cover has an upward pressure relief channel, when the flushing solenoid valve opens, water enters the outlet pipe along the upward pressure relief channel. This causes a rapid drop in water pressure within the back pressure chamber, allowing water to immediately enter the connecting channel from the inlet pipe and then flow along the connecting channel into the outlet pipe, resulting in excellent flushing performance. When the water pressure within the main valve body is too high, the pressure-reducing solenoid valve opens, connecting the inlet pipe to the pressure-reducing channel. Water then enters the pressure-reducing component to reduce pressure, impacting the vacuum cover and flowing out through the pressure-reducing pipeline, resulting in good and reliable pressure reduction. Therefore, this invention simultaneously possesses pressure-reducing and flushing functions. The pressure-reducing and flushing structures are integrated into a single main valve body, resulting in a more compact structure, avoiding unnecessary pipeline connections, smoother water flow, and better versatility.

[0045] The specific operation process of this embodiment is as follows: In the default state, the flushing solenoid valve 6 is in the closed state, and the main valve body 1 is also in the closed state. When flushing is required, the flushing solenoid valve 6 is energized, and the first iron core 62 will be attracted, thereby opening the water passage 57. Before the flushing solenoid valve 6 is energized, the water passage 57 is in the closed state, so the water in the inlet pipe 2 enters the back pressure chamber 10 along the back pressure channel 55. At this time, the water pressure in the back pressure chamber 10 is relatively large, and the water pressure causes the elastic seal 52 to abut against the water inlet end of the connecting channel 4, so the connecting channel 4 is in the open state, and the main valve body 1 cannot discharge water. When the flushing solenoid valve 6 opens the water flow channel 57, water flows along the water flow channel 57 into the upper pressure relief channel 11, then along the upper pressure relief channel 11 into the main pressure relief channel 59, and then along the main pressure relief channel 59 into the outlet pipe 3. The water pressure in the back pressure chamber 10 drops rapidly, the elastic seal 52 deforms and disengages from the inlet end of the connecting channel 4, and water then flows along the inlet pipe 2 into the connecting channel 4, and then along the connecting channel 4 into the outlet pipe 3. Because the main pressure relief channel 59 has a good pressure relief effect, the water flow can quickly enter the connecting channel 4 from the inlet pipe 2, resulting in a good flushing effect. When the flushing solenoid valve 6 is de-energized, the first rubber core 64 automatically blocks the water flow channel 57, and the water flow re-converges in the back pressure chamber 10 along the back pressure channel 55, while the elastic seal 52 blocks the inlet end of the connecting channel 4.

[0046] When the water pressure in the main valve body 1 is too high during use, the pressure-reducing solenoid valve 7 will open. Part of the water will then enter the pressure-reducing valve body 81 through the pressure-reducing channel 12, impacting the pull rod 82 within the valve body 81. This stabilizes the water flow. The water then continues to flow upwards along the water passage 811 and impacts the anti-backflow seat 91. The first sealing gasket 93 on the anti-backflow seat 91 will then block the vacuum cover 92, allowing water to flow out through the pressure-reducing pipe 13, thus achieving pressure reduction. When the water pressure in the pressure-reducing valve body 81 is still too high, some water flows out through the pressure-reducing pipe 13. The remaining water impacts the valve core gasket 97, causing it to detach from the pressure relief seat 96 and disengage from the first through hole 98 in the anti-backflow seat 91. This allows water to flow into the anti-backflow seat 91, then along it into the vacuum cover 92, and finally into the connecting channel 4, and then into the outlet pipe 3, thus achieving pressure reduction.
