[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air compressors, and specifically to an electric flow control valve. Background Art

[0002] An air compressor is a device that converts the mechanical energy of an electric motor or other power source into gas pressure energy. It increases the pressure of air by compressing it to produce high-pressure gas for various industrial uses. In order to precisely control the flow rate and integrate with an automated control system to achieve remote monitoring and automatic adjustment, and improve the automation level of the system, an electric flow control valve is thus used.

[0003] In an air compressor system, an electric flow control valve is a valve driven by an electric motor and is used to automatically control the flow rate of compressed air. This valve usually includes an electric actuator that can precisely adjust the opening degree of the valve, thereby controlling the air flow rate through the valve.

The outer wall of the butterfly valve 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the valve body 12. A connecting pipe 13 is slidably connected inside the valve body 12; Specifically, the main shaft 5 will rotate stably inside the valve body 12 synchronously. At the same time, the butterfly valve 6 will slide along the inner wall of the valve body 12. The valve body 12 plays a supporting role for the connecting pipe 13. The connection can be completed by inserting the connecting pipe 13 into the valve body 12.

By pushing the push rod 14, the slide plate 15 can slide stably inside the valve body 12. The first spring 21 is arranged between the slide plate 15 and the valve body 12, so that the first spring 21 can be compressed by the sliding of the slide plate 15. The first spring 21 plays a role of rebounding. When the push rod 14 is no longer pushed, the slide plate 15 can be pushed to slide in the reverse direction. The slide plate 15 plays a supporting role for the first rotating shaft 16, so that the first rotating shaft 16 slides along with the sliding of the slide plate 15.

The outer wall of the clamping block 20 is slidably connected inside the connecting pipe 13; Specifically, the connecting piece 19 plays a role in fixing the clamping block 20, enabling the clamping block 20 to slide stably inside the valve body 12 through the sliding of the connecting piece 19. The clamping block 20 plays a role in limiting and fixing the connecting pipe 13. When the clamping block 20 slides into the inside of the connecting pipe 13, the position of the connecting pipe 13 inside the valve body 12 can be limited and fixed. Conversely, when the clamping block 20 slides out of the inside of the connecting pipe 13, the restriction on the connecting pipe 13 can be released. By inserting the clamping blocks 20 on both sides, the connecting pipe 13 and the valve body 12 can be sealed to prevent gas leakage during use.

[0028] Please refer to the appendix Figure 6 - appendix Figure 7 Inside the valve cover 1102, a fixing post 23 is fixedly connected. A push piece 24 is slidably connected inside the fixing post 23. On the upper surface of the push piece 24, a knob 25 is fixedly connected. Specifically, the valve cover 1102 plays a role in fixing the fixing post 23. The fixing post 23 plays a role in supporting the push piece 24. The push piece 24 plays a role in fixing the knob 25. By rotating the knob 25 by 90 degrees, the push piece 24 can be driven to rotate and slide inside the fixing post 23 by pushing and rotating the knob 25.

[0029] Please refer to the appendix Figure 6 - appendix Figure 7 On the lower surface of the push piece 24, a sliding post 26 is fixedly connected. The outer wall of the sliding post 26 is slidably connected inside the valve cover 1102 and also slidably connected inside the valve body 12. A clamping groove 22 is provided inside the valve body 12. Specifically, the push piece 24 plays a role in fixing the sliding post 26. By rotating and sliding the push piece 24, the sliding post 26 can be driven to rotate and slide. The sliding post 26 will simultaneously slide and rotate inside the valve cover 1102 and the valve body 12. By providing the clamping groove 22, the clamping post 28 can be limited and fixed.

[0030] Please refer to the appendix Figure 6 - appendix Figure 7 On the outer wall of the sliding post 26, a second spring 27 is slidably connected. One end of the second spring 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the push piece 24, and the other end of the second spring 27 is slidably connected inside the fixing post 23. Inside the sliding post 26, a clamping post 28 is fixedly connected. The outer wall of the clamping post 28 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping groove 22 and also slidably connected inside the fixing post 23. Specifically, the second spring 27 is arranged between the push piece 24 and the fixed column 23. It will be squeezed by the sliding of the push piece 24 and will rotate synchronously with the rotation of the push piece 24. The sliding column 26 plays a role in supporting and fixing the clamping column 28, enabling the clamping column 28 to rotate and slide synchronously with the rotation and sliding of the sliding column 26. The clamping groove 22 only allows the clamping column 28 to enter in its original state. When the clamping column 28 rotates 90 degrees, it will be stuck on the inner wall of the clamping groove 22, releasing the restriction on the push piece 24. The second spring 27 will push the push piece 24 to slide in the reverse direction through its own resilience, thereby enabling the clamping column 28 to slide up to the inner wall of the clamping groove 22 for limit fixation, and thus completing the limit fixation between the valve cover 1102 and the valve body 12.

[0031] The usage method of the electric flow control valve, for the described electric flow control valve, the method includes the following steps: S1. Install and use the valve cover 1102 and the valve body 12. Through the quick installation design, the installation and maintenance time is saved; S2. Assemble and use the valve body 12 and the connecting pipe 13. The sealing performance during use is improved by clamping the clamping block 20 into the inside of the connecting pipe 13; S3. Input commands of different flow rates through the control panel 10, and the control panel 10 transmits the command signal to the inside of the controller 9; S4. After receiving the command, the controller 9 controls the starting time of the driving motor 2, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the butterfly valve 6; S5. Calculate the number of rotations of the second gear 8 on the support column 29 to calculate the number of rotations when the butterfly valve 6 is fully opened or closed, and transmit the signal to the controller 9. The controller 9 controls the driving or shutdown of the driving motor 2; Specifically, when the control valve needs to be used, first assemble the valve cover 1102 and the valve body 12. Align the valve cover 1102 and the valve body 12. At this time, the sliding column 26 and the clamping column 28 will enter the inside of the valve body 12. Press and rotate the knob 25. The knob 25 will drive the push plate 24 and the sliding column 26 to rotate and slide simultaneously. The second spring 27 will also be compressed. The clamping column 28 rotates 90 degrees simultaneously. Release the push plate 24 and use the rebound of the second spring 27 to push the clamping column 28 in the reverse direction to be stuck on the inner wall of the clamping groove 22, and the assembly can be completed. Then install the valve body 12 and the connecting pipe 13. Push the push rod 14 to drive the sliding plate 15 to slide. The first spring 21 is compressed and through the cooperation between the first rotating shaft 16, the rotating rod 17 and the second rotating shaft 18, the clamping block 20 is retracted into the valve body 12 through the connecting piece 19. Insert the connecting pipe 13 into the valve body 12. At this time, the push rod 14 can be released, and the rebound of the first spring 21 can push the clamping block 20 to slide into the inside of the connecting pipe 13 for sealing and fixing, preventing leakage during use. Control the rotation angle of the butterfly valve 6 according to different flow requirements. Transmit the flow information to the inside of the controller 9 through the control panel 10. Control the drive of the drive motor 2 by the controller 9. Furthermore, the rotation of the worm 3 and the worm wheel 5 can drive the butterfly valve 6 to rotate inside the valve body 12 through the rotation of the main shaft 5, realizing the control and adjustment of the flow rate.

[0032] Working principle: When the control valve needs to be used, install the connecting block 1101 and the valve body 12. Align the connecting block 1101 and the valve body 12, and insert the sliding column 26 and the second spring 27 into the inside of the valve body 12. Press and rotate the knob 25 downward. The knob 25 will drive the push plate 24 to rotate and slide inside the fixed column 23, and compress the second spring 27 during this process. When the knob 25 slides and rotates, it will drive the sliding column 26 to slide and rotate. The sliding column 26 will drive the second spring 27 to rotate inside the valve body 12. Release the knob 25, and the rebound of the second spring 27 can push the push plate 24 to slide upward in the reverse direction, so that the second spring 27 can be stuck on the inner wall of the clamping groove 22, limiting and fixing the positions of the valve cover 1102 and the valve body 12, achieving the effect of being convenient for quick installation and use as well as disassembly and maintenance; The valve body 12 and the connecting pipe 13 are installed and used. During the use process, sealing treatment is required. Push the push rods 14 on both sides. The push rods 14 will drive the slide plate 15 and the first rotating shaft 16 to slide, and the first spring 21 will be compressed during the sliding process. When the first rotating shaft 16 slides, it will drive the rotating rod 17 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating rod 17, it will drive the connecting piece 19 and the clamping block 20 to slide through the second rotating shaft 18, and completely retract the clamping block 20 into the interior of the valve body 12. At this time, the connecting pipe 13 can be inserted into the interior of the valve body 12. By releasing the pressure on the push rod 14, the first spring 21 can rebound to push the clamping block 20 to slide in the reverse direction, so that it slides into the interior of the connecting pipe 13, and the valve body 12 and the connecting pipe 13 are limited and fixed, achieving better sealing during the use process, improving the docking stability and avoiding leakage; When it is necessary to control the flow rate of the valve, commands can be input through the control panel 10, and the control information is transmitted to the interior of the controller 9. When the controller 9 receives the signal, it will control the drive of the drive motor 2. The drive motor 2 will drive the worm 3 to rotate. During the rotation of the worm 3, it will drive the worm gear 4 and the main shaft 5 to rotate. By the rotation of the main shaft 5, it will drive the butterfly valve 6 to rotate on the inner wall of the valve body 12. By the rotation of the butterfly valve 6, the outlet size can be controlled, thereby controlling the flow rate. When the main shaft 5 rotates, it will simultaneously drive the first gear 7 and the second gear 8 to rotate. The encoder will calculate the rotation number information of the second gear 8 and transmit it to the interior of the controller 9. When the butterfly valve 6 is fully opened or closed, after the controller 9 receives the rotation number information transmitted by the encoder, it will control the start or stop of the drive motor 2, and then limit and fix the position of the butterfly valve 6, achieving the effect of flexibly controlling the flow rate and facilitating receiving the position information of the control butterfly valve 6, and the control is simple.
