[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of valve body production, and relates to a vacuum pressure maintaining valve, in particular to a vacuum pressure maintaining valve and its production process. Background Art

[0002] In the field of fluid control, the performance and quality of valves are crucial for the stable operation of the system. Traditional vacuum pressure maintaining valves have some deficiencies in practical applications. The existing structure of vacuum pressure maintaining valve products will generate resonance through gases. When the resonance reaches a certain frequency, the internal valve core structure will vibrate and produce harsh whistling sounds, which greatly affects the use and experience of customers. Moreover, the production processes of some vacuum pressure maintaining valves are relatively complex, with low automation and low production efficiency, making it difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale industrial production.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a vacuum pressure maintaining valve and its production process, which can perform batch assembly, welding, and product inspection and output of vacuum pressure maintaining valves through automated operations such as sequencing and discharging materials, clamping and assembling in sequence, valve body welding, product flipping, and vibration detection and output. The vacuum pressure maintaining valve has a stable structure, good sealing performance, can operate stably under different working conditions without generating whistling, has a high degree of automation in the production process, high production efficiency, and good product yield. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above problems existing in the prior art and propose a vacuum pressure maintaining valve and its production process. The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to achieve batch production of a vacuum pressure maintaining valve with a stable structure and good sealing performance through sequencing and discharging materials, clamping and assembling in sequence, valve body welding, product flipping, and vibration detection and output.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A vacuum pressure maintaining valve includes an upper valve body shell and a lower valve body shell. The upper valve body shell is sleeved on the lower valve body shell. A flexible diaphragm is provided in the internal space formed by the upper valve body shell and the lower valve body shell. The flexible diaphragm abuts against the upper valve body shell and the lower valve body shell respectively. A welding gasket is provided between the outer side of the upper valve body shell and the outer side of the lower valve body shell.

[0007] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: When gas is introduced from the lower valve body shell, the gas pushes the flexible diaphragm to squeeze against the upper valve body shell, and the flexible diaphragm fits tightly with the upper valve body shell to block the passage of gas. When gas is introduced from the upper valve body shell and reaches a certain pressure, the gas pushes the flexible diaphragm to squeeze the lower valve body shell, and the flexible diaphragm is slightly deformed and leaves the upper valve body shell. The gas passes through the gap between the flexible diaphragm and the upper valve body shell. After the gas is no longer introduced, the flexible diaphragm pushes the welding gasket back to its initial position.

[0008] The valve body upper shell includes an upper shell body and an upper shell air pipe. The upper shell body is located below the upper shell air pipe. A wedge-shaped fitting pipe is provided on the upper shell body, and the inside of the wedge-shaped fitting pipe is communicated with the upper shell air pipe.

[0009] With the above structure, the wedge-shaped fitting pipe is used to fit inside the valve body lower shell, and the wedge shape is convenient for fitting.

[0010] The valve body lower shell includes a lower shell body and a lower shell air pipe. The lower shell air pipe is located below the lower shell body. A fitting groove is provided inside the lower shell body. The shape and size of the fitting groove match those of the wedge-shaped fitting pipe. An air passage, a support seat, and a number of limiting columns evenly distributed in a circle are provided inside the lower shell body. The support seat is located in the middle of the number of limiting columns. The air passage is located between the number of limiting columns and the fitting groove. A number of air vents are provided below the support seat. The air vents are all communicated with the air passage and are all communicated with the lower shell air pipe.

[0011] With the above structure, the fitting groove is used to fit the wedge-shaped fitting pipe, which is convenient for assembly and increases the sealing performance at the same time. The air passage is used for ventilation and evenly blows towards the flexible diaphragm to ensure smooth gas passage. The support seat is used to support the flexible diaphragm and limit the stroke of the flexible diaphragm at the same time, reducing the whistling when the gas passes. The number of limiting columns is used to fix the flexible diaphragm.

[0012] The flexible diaphragm is arranged on the support seat. The top of the flexible diaphragm abuts against the inner top end of the upper shell body. The flexible diaphragm is in an inverted skirt shape, and the top of the flexible diaphragm is made of elastic plastic.

[0013] With the above structure, when the gas passes, the flexible diaphragm controls the opening and closing of the valve through slight deformation at the top.

[0014] The welding gasket is arranged between the outer sides of the lower shell body and the upper shell body, and the welding gasket is made of welding plastic.

[0015] With the above structure, the welding gasket is used to connect the lower shell body and the upper shell body, which is convenient for welding and sealing and enhances the sealing performance.

[0027] The housing clamping mechanism 2 moves driven by the moving mechanism at the corresponding position, clamps five valve body upper shells on the guiding and discharging mechanism at the corresponding position. After the clamping is completed, the guiding and discharging mechanism at the corresponding position moves to sequence and discharge five new valve body upper shells. At the same time, the housing clamping mechanism 2 drives the five valve body upper shells to move above the flipping and clamping mechanism where the welding gaskets have been installed and placed, and continues to move to install the five valve body upper shells on the valve body lower shell. After the installation is completed, it returns above the corresponding guiding and discharging mechanism, waiting for the next clamping of the valve body upper shell. At the same time, the rotating table rotates to drive the flipping and clamping mechanism and the assembled valve body on it to move to the position of the welding mechanism. The rotating table pauses. At this time, one flipping and clamping mechanism moves to the position of the housing clamping mechanism 2, repeating the clamping action of the housing clamping mechanism 2;

[0028] The welding mechanism moves above the assembled valve body and welds the valve bodies together, then returns to the initial position, waiting for the next welding.

The flexible diaphragm 5 fits tightly against the upper housing 1 of the valve body, blocking the passage of gas. When gas is introduced from the upper housing 1 of the valve body and reaches a certain pressure, the gas pushes the flexible diaphragm 5 to squeeze the lower housing 2 of the valve body, and the flexible diaphragm 5 is slightly deformed and leaves the upper housing 1 of the valve body. The gas passes through the gap between the flexible diaphragm 5 and the upper housing 1 of the valve body.
