Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline exhaust valves, and in particular relates to an exhaust valve for a water supply pipeline. Background Art
[0002] A water supply project is a project that supplies water for living, production, etc. to water users. The task of a water supply project is to supply water to cities and residential areas, industrial enterprises, railway transportation, agriculture, construction sites, and the military, and must ensure the water quantity, water quality, and water pressure requirements of the above-mentioned users. At the same time, it must undertake fire-fighting tasks in water-using areas. The role of a water supply project is to collect natural surface water or groundwater, and after certain treatment, make it meet the water quality standards for industrial production water and residents' drinking water, and use economical and reasonable distribution methods to transport it to various users. Water supply projects play an important role in the construction and development of industry and agriculture, in improving people's material and cultural life, and in the protection of health and safety.
[0003] The exhaust valve is when there is gas overflow in the system. The gas will climb up along the pipe and finally gather at the highest point of the system. The exhaust valve is generally installed at the highest point of the system. When the gas enters the exhaust valve cavity, it gathers at the upper part of the exhaust valve. As the gas in the valve increases, the pressure rises. When the gas pressure is greater than the system pressure, the gas will cause the water level in the cavity to drop, and the float will drop with the water level, opening the exhaust port. After the gas is exhausted, the water level rises, and the float also rises, closing the exhaust port. In the same way, when negative pressure is generated in the system, the water level in the valve cavity drops, and the exhaust port opens. Since the external atmospheric pressure is greater than the system pressure at this time, the atmosphere will enter the system through the exhaust port to prevent the harm of negative pressure. If the valve cap on the exhaust valve body is tightened, the exhaust valve stops exhausting. Under normal circumstances, the valve cap should be in the open state. The exhaust valve can also be used in conjunction with the isolation valve to facilitate the maintenance of the exhaust valve.
[0004] At present, Chinese patent CN220416255U discloses a water supply pipe exhaust valve, including a base, an exhaust valve body, a dust cover and an exhaust pipe, four first nuts are arranged on the upper surface of the base, an exhaust valve body is arranged on the middle upper surface of the base, the exhaust valve body is funnel-shaped, the lower end opening of the exhaust valve body is smaller than the upper end opening, a rubber pad is arranged on the upper surface of the exhaust valve body, and a filter is arranged inside the lower end of the exhaust valve body. The exhaust valve has a reasonable structure. The device has better sealing performance of the exhaust hole of the device by adding sliders and slide rods on both sides of the float. By arranging an arch bracket and a dust cover, the device is exhausted to both sides of the top of the exhaust pipe. At the same time, the dust cover effectively prevents dust and debris from entering the interior of the device through the exhaust pipe. By arranging the first nut and the second nut, the device can be quickly opened for maintenance and repair, which increases its service life, improves work efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0005] Although the above-mentioned prior art can reduce the entry of dust through the dust cover, due to the gap between the dust cover and the exhaust hole, external dust can still enter the interior, thereby causing the exhaust valve to fail to exhaust normally, resulting in damage to the exhaust valve. Summary of the invention

Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the specification abstract and the invention title of this application to avoid blurring the purpose of this section, the specification abstract and the invention title, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0007] In order to solve the problem raised in the above background technology that there is a gap between the dust cover and the exhaust hole, so that external dust can still enter the interior, resulting in the exhaust valve being unable to exhaust normally and causing damage to the exhaust valve, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0009] Preferably, first sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the exhaust valve body, and opening pressure regulating components are installed inside the first sliding grooves on both sides, and the pressure regulating components are connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod body.
[0010] Preferably, a rubber sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the sealing top cover, and the sealing valve cover and the exhaust valve body are fixed by a plurality of fastening bolts.
[0011] Preferably, a plug-in flange is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing valve cover, and the plug-in flange is inserted into the interior of the exhaust valve body.
[0012] Preferably, the moving assembly comprises a sliding rod body and a first return spring, and the first return spring is arranged on the outer wall of the sliding rod body between the U-shaped frames on both sides and the sealing valve cover.
[0013] Preferably, the opening pressure regulating assembly includes a hexagonal head, an external thread groove, a threaded ring and a first sliding groove. The outer walls of the sliding rod bodies on both sides are provided with external thread grooves near the upper ends. The outer walls of the external thread grooves on both sides are threadedly connected with threaded rings. The threaded rings on both sides are slidingly connected to the inside of the first sliding grooves on both sides. The upper ends of the sliding rod bodies on both sides pass through the sealing valve cover and are detachably connected with the hexagonal heads. The upper ends of the sliding rod bodies on both sides are installed with a linkage assembly, which enables the sliding rod bodies on both sides to rotate simultaneously.
[0014] Preferably, the linkage assembly includes a first sprocket, a second sprocket and a drive chain. The first sprocket is fixedly connected between the sliding rod bodies and the hexagonal heads on both sides. The first sprockets on both sides are located above the sealing valve cover.

[0017] 1. The elastic force of the first return spring in the movable assembly is used to apply downward pressure to the U-shaped frame, the connecting rod and the sealing top cover. When the pressure in the pipeline is greater than the downward pressure of the first return spring, the U-shaped frame moves upward on the outer wall of the sliding rod body, thereby enabling exhaust. The excessive gas pressure in the pipeline pushes the sealing ball upward, thereby enabling the sealing top cover to move upward through the U-shaped frame and the connecting rod, thereby enabling air to be exhausted outward. After the air pressure is exhausted, the sealing ball, the U-shaped frame and the connecting rod are reset by gravity, thereby blocking the air inlet, preventing external dust from entering the interior of the exhaust valve body.
[0018] 2. The hexagonal heads on both sides of the opening pressure adjustment assembly are rotated to rotate the sliding rod bodies on both sides, so that the threaded collars on both sides can move downward to compress the first return spring, thereby increasing the pressure of the sealing ball moving upward, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the exhaust pressure of the exhaust valve opening.
[0019] 3. By setting the second sprocket in the linkage assembly and the drive chain, rotating the sliding rod on one side can cause the sliding rod on the other side to rotate simultaneously, making adjustment more convenient.
[0020] 4. The elastic force of the second return spring in the tensioning assembly makes the second sprockets on both sides always move outward, so that the drive chain can be kept in a taut state, which makes the transmission more stable. The setting of the rubber sealing ring can make the sealing performance better after the sealing top cover falls into the upper end of the sealing valve cover, making it more difficult for external impurities to enter the interior of the exhaust valve body.

The present invention provides the following embodiments.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of a water supply pipeline exhaust valve in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The water supply pipeline exhaust valve in this embodiment includes an exhaust valve body 100, and the top of the exhaust valve body 100 is detachably connected to a sealing valve cover 300, the sealing valve cover 300 and the exhaust valve body 100 are fixed by a plurality of fastening bolts 301, a sealing top cover 200 is inserted at the center of the sealing valve cover 300, the bottom of the exhaust valve body 100 is fixedly connected to a funnel head 101, and the outer edge of the bottom of the funnel head 101 is fixedly connected to a connecting flange 102. In this embodiment, the exhaust valve is connected to the pipeline through the connecting flange 102. The sealing top cover 200 can be inserted into the sealing valve cover 300 when not exhausting to prevent external dust from entering the exhaust valve body 100. When exhausting, the sealing top cover 200 moves upward, so that the internal air is discharged outward from the gap between the sealing top cover 200 and the sealing valve cover 300. After the gas is exhausted, it can be reset, thereby increasing the sealing performance, preventing external dust from entering the exhaust valve body 100, and increasing the service life of the exhaust valve.
[0040] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the exhaust valve body structure and a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the sealing top cover in this embodiment, the bottom of the sealing top cover 200 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 201, the bottom of the connecting rod 201 is fixedly connected with a U-shaped frame 202 with an opening facing downward, the inner sides of the U-shaped frame 202 are fixedly connected with connecting rods 204, and a sealing ball 203 is detachably connected between the connecting rods 204 on both sides, and an air inlet 104 is provided at the inner bottom of the exhaust valve body 100.

The outer walls of the external thread grooves 206 on both sides are threadedly connected with threaded rings 210, and the threaded rings 210 on both sides are slidably connected to the inside of the first sliding grooves 103 on both sides. The upper ends of the sliding rod bodies 205 on both sides pass through the sealing valve cover 300 and are detachably connected with hexagonal heads 208. In this embodiment, the sliding rod bodies 205 on both sides are rotated by rotating the hexagonal heads 208 on both sides, so that the threaded rings 210 on both sides can move downward to compress the first return spring 209, thereby increasing the pressure of the sealing ball 203 moving upward, and then achieving the effect of adjusting the exhaust pressure of the exhaust valve opening.
