[0001] This invention relates to the field of pneumatic control valve technology, and in particular to an integrated automatic reciprocating valve. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of industrial production technology, cylinders are often used as the power source for reciprocating motion. Their extension and retraction are generally controlled by air valves, and in current production, electronically controlled pilot valves are often used to connect to air valves to achieve this control process. However, electronically controlled pilot valves are not suitable for many specific working conditions: in places with high dust concentrations, they are prone to malfunction due to dust; in humid and watery environments such as food processing and cleaning processes and near underground mine drainage systems, they may cause short circuits and component corrosion; in flammable and explosive environments such as chemical workshops involving volatile liquids and underground coal mines with gas, there is a risk of danger caused by electric sparks; and in environments with strong electromagnetic interference, such as around large substations and high-frequency welding workshops, their electronic control systems are easily interfered with and may malfunction.

[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 15As shown, an integrated automatic reciprocating valve includes a valve body 1. A main valve chamber 11 is formed within the valve body 1, and a main valve core 2 is disposed within the main valve chamber 11. The valve body 1 has working ports A12 and B13, an air inlet P14, an exhaust port S15, and an exhaust port R16 communicating with the main valve chamber 11. The two ends of the main valve core 2 form reversing chambers A111 and B112 with the inner walls of the two ends of the main valve chamber 11, respectively. A pilot valve chamber 17 is also formed within the valve body 1. Pilot valve cores A3 and B4 are slidably disposed within the pilot valve chamber 17. The pilot valve cores A3 and B4 are spaced apart and divide the pilot valve chamber 17 into a pilot chamber A171, an air inlet chamber 172, and a pilot chamber B173. The air inlet chamber 172 is connected to an air source. The pilot chamber... A171 is connected to the working port A12, and the pilot chamber B173 is connected to the working port B13. The end face area of ​​the pilot valve core A3 facing the intake chamber 172 is smaller than the end face area facing the pilot chamber A171, and the end face area of ​​the pilot valve core B4 facing the intake chamber 172 is smaller than the end face area facing the pilot chamber B173. The pilot valve core A3 has a third position and a fourth position, and the pilot valve core B4 has a fifth position and a sixth position. When the pilot valve core A3 is in the third position and the pilot valve core B4 is in the fifth position, the intake chamber 172 is connected to the reversing chamber B112. When the pilot valve core A3 is in the fourth position and the pilot valve core B4 is in the sixth position, the intake chamber 172 is connected to the reversing chamber A111. The air inlet P14 is connected to the air source, and the exhaust ports S15 and R16 are both connected to the atmosphere. The main valve core 2 slides between a first position and a second position relative to the main valve chamber 11. When the main valve core 2 is in the first position, the air inlet P14 is connected to the working port B13, and the working port A12 is connected to the exhaust port R16. At this time, the pilot valve core A3 is in the fourth position, the pilot valve core B4 is in the sixth position, and the reversing chamber A111 is connected to the air inlet chamber 172. When the main valve core 2 is in the second position, the air inlet P14 is connected to the working port A12, and the working port B13 is connected to the exhaust port S15. At this time, the pilot valve core A3 is in the third position, the pilot valve core B4 is in the fifth position, and the reversing chamber B112 is connected to the air inlet chamber 172. A first air passage 10 is provided between the intake chamber 172 and the reversing chamber B112, and a second air passage 20 is provided between the intake chamber 172 and the reversing chamber A111. A third air passage 30 is provided between the working port A12 and the pilot chamber A171, and a fourth air passage 40 is provided between the working port B13 and the pilot chamber B173. The valve body 1 is provided with a main exhaust port 18, and both exhaust ports S15 and R16 are connected to the main exhaust port 18 through a fifth air passage 50.

[0043] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention provides an integrated automatic reciprocating valve, including a valve body 1, a main valve chamber 11 within the valve body 1, a main valve core 2 within the main valve chamber 11, and a pilot valve chamber 17 within the valve body 1. Pilot valve cores A3 and B4 are slidably disposed within the pilot valve chamber 17, and are spaced apart, dividing the pilot valve chamber 17 into a pilot chamber A171, an inlet chamber 172, and a pilot chamber B173. The present invention achieves air path switching through the cooperation of pilot valve cores A, B, and the main valve core 2, causing the automatic reciprocating valve to automatically cycle back and forth, thereby achieving automatic reversing control of the actuator. The entire process requires no electrical control, nor does it require pressure signal detection or stroke transmitters. The control method is simple and can effectively avoid problems such as failure, short circuit, corrosion, danger, and malfunction that may occur in electric pilot valves under specific working conditions such as high dust concentration, high humidity, flammability, explosiveness, and strong electromagnetic interference. It can also reduce the reliance on additional detection equipment and improve the applicability and reliability in complex industrial environments.

[0044] Working principle: such as Figure 15As shown, when the main valve core 2 is in the first position, the air inlet P14 is connected to the working port B13, and the working port A12 is connected to the exhaust port R16. The working port B13 supplies air to the actuator and simultaneously supplies air to the pilot chamber B173. At this time, gas enters the pilot chamber B173 through the air inlet P14, the working port B13, and the fourth air passage 40. Because the end face area of ​​the pilot valve core B4 facing the pilot chamber B173 is larger than its end face area facing the air inlet chamber 172, the pilot valve core B4, under the action of the pressure difference, flows towards the side closer to the air inlet chamber 172. The pilot valve core B4 moves from the fifth position to the sixth position, disconnecting the intake chamber 172 from the reversing chamber B112. Simultaneously, the pilot valve core A3 moves from the third position to the fourth position under the pressure of the intake chamber 172, connecting the intake chamber 172 with the reversing chamber A111. At this time, gas enters the reversing chamber A111 through the intake chamber 172, the second air passage 20, and the main valve core 2 moves from the first position to the second position, connecting the intake port P14 with the working port A12 and the working port B13 with the exhaust port S15. While the working port A12 supplies air to the actuator, it also supplies air to the pilot chamber A171. At this time, the gas enters the pilot chamber A171 through the inlet port P14, the working port A12, and the third air passage 30. Since the end face area of ​​the pilot valve core A3 facing the pilot chamber A171 is larger than its end face area facing the inlet chamber 172, the pilot valve core A3 slides closer to the inlet chamber 172 under the action of the pressure difference. That is, the pilot valve core A3 moves from the fourth position to the third position, so that the inlet chamber 172... 72 is disconnected from the reversing chamber A111; at the same time, the pilot valve core B4 moves from the sixth position to the fifth position under the action of the air pressure in the air inlet chamber 172. At this time, the gas enters the reversing chamber B112 through the air inlet chamber 172, the first air passage 10, and the main valve core 2 moves from the second position to the first position. This cycle repeats, thereby realizing the automatic reversing control of the reciprocating valve. The whole process does not require electrical control, nor does it require pressure signal detection or signal generators. The control method is simple.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 12 As shown, one end of the main valve chamber 11 is a blind hole, and the other end is an open hole, which is sealed by a first plug 113. In other preferred embodiments, such as Figure 14As shown, both ends of the main valve chamber 11 can be open, and both openings are sealed by a first plug 113. This structural design greatly reduces the machining difficulty of the main valve chamber 11, improves machining efficiency, and reduces machining costs. In this embodiment, both ends of the pilot valve chamber 17 are open, and both openings are sealed by a second plug 176. This structural design greatly reduces the machining difficulty of the pilot valve chamber 17, improves machining efficiency, and reduces machining costs. The arrangement of the first plug 113 and the second plug 176 enables the automatic reciprocating valve to be detachable, making maintenance more convenient and facilitating daily maintenance.

[0046] In this embodiment, by integrating the main valve core 2, pilot valve core A3, pilot valve core B4, and throttle valve 501 onto the same valve body 1, the space occupied by the overall structure of the automatic reciprocating valve is significantly reduced, avoiding the redundancy and leakage risks caused by pipeline connections during decentralized assembly. Furthermore, the close collaboration between components improves operational reliability. Simultaneously, the highly integrated design ensures the precise matching between the main valve core 2 and the throttle valve 501, resulting in more accurate switching actions and more stable flow control, thus forming an automatic reciprocating valve with high reliability and precision. This highly integrated structure allows it to be flexibly embedded into the pneumatic systems of various devices without complex external adapter components, significantly improving the convenience and flexibility of automatic reciprocating valve applications.

[0047] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a control switch 201 is provided on the second air passage 20. The control switch 201 has a seventh position and an eighth position. When the control switch 201 is in the seventh position, the second air passage 20 is turned on; when the control switch 201 is in the eighth position, the second air passage 20 is turned off. In this embodiment, as... Figure 15 As shown, when the control switch 201 is in the seventh position, the second air passage 20 is open, and the automatic reciprocating valve has an automatic switching function. When the control switch 201 is in the eighth position, the second air passage 20 is closed, and the automatic reciprocating valve does not have a switching function, so that the main valve core 2 always remains in the first position. The control switch 201 can be in the form of a toggle valve, a manual button, a jog switch, or a rotary switch, etc., and has an air passage switching function; the specific type is not limited.

[0048] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a throttle valve 501 is provided on the fifth air passage 50. In this embodiment, as... Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, the throttle valve 501 is installed on the fifth air passage 50, and is used to control the automatic reversing speed of the main valve core 2. Specifically, when the throttle valve 501 is open, the exhaust flow increases, thereby accelerating the reciprocating speed of the main valve core 2; conversely, when the throttle valve 501 is open, the exhaust flow decreases, and correspondingly, the reciprocating speed of the main valve core 2 slows down. This adjustment mechanism precisely controls the operating rhythm of the main valve core 2 by changing the exhaust rate, ensuring that the automatic reciprocating valve achieves stable and controllable reversing operation under different operating conditions.

[0049] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first sealing ring 31 and a second sealing ring 32 are respectively fitted at both ends of the pilot valve core A3. The first sealing ring 31 and the second sealing ring 32 cooperate with the inner wall of the pilot valve cavity 17 to form a breathing chamber A174. The valve body 1 is provided with a breathing port A191 for connecting the breathing chamber A174 with the atmosphere. A third sealing ring 41 and a fourth sealing ring 42 are respectively fitted at both ends of the pilot valve core B4. The third sealing ring 41 and the fourth sealing ring 42 cooperate with the inner wall of the pilot valve cavity 17 to form a breathing chamber B175. The valve body 1 is provided with a breathing port B192 for connecting the breathing chamber B175 with the atmosphere. In this embodiment, as... Figure 3 As shown, the breathing port A191 is used to balance the internal and external pressure of the breathing chamber A174, and the breathing port B192 is used to balance the internal and external pressure of the breathing chamber B175. This avoids the problem of excessively high or low pressure in the breathing chambers A174 and B175, prevents negative pressure from compressing the valve body 1 and from "sucking" the first sealing ring 31, the second sealing ring 32, the third sealing ring 41, and the fourth sealing ring 42, ensures the normal operation of the pilot valve core A3 and the pilot valve core B4, reduces the wear of the first sealing ring 31, the second sealing ring 32, the third sealing ring 41, and the fourth sealing ring 42 caused by abnormal force, and thus extends their service life.

[0050] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the main exhaust port 18, the breathing port A191, and the breathing port B192 are each provided with a sound-absorbing structure 5. In this embodiment, as... Figure 1As shown, the silencing structure 5 is a silencing plate, whose main function is to reduce the noise generated during gas exhaust. When gas is rapidly discharged through the main exhaust port 18, the breather port A191, and the breather port B192, a large noise will be generated due to airflow disturbance and pressure change. The silencing plate can buffer, disperse, and dampen the airflow, effectively attenuating the sound wave energy, thereby reducing noise pollution during the exhaust process and improving the sound environment quality of the industrial production environment. At the same time, it can also avoid the adverse effects of noise on equipment operators and the surrounding environment to a certain extent. Furthermore, the silencing plate can also act as a barrier, effectively blocking dust and other impurities from the external environment from entering the gas path system, thereby reducing the risk of failure caused by impurity accumulation and extending the service life of the automatic reciprocating valve. In a further embodiment, the silencing plate is specifically a brass particle sintered silencing plate, which is a porous silencing element made of brass particles as raw material through molding and high-temperature sintering. The brass material endows the sound-absorbing plate with excellent corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength, enabling it to adapt to complex working conditions such as humidity and high temperature, and ensuring a long service life. The sintered three-dimensional interconnected porous structure has a uniform pore distribution and controllable pore size, which can achieve efficient sound absorption through the friction, reflection, and attenuation of sound waves in the pores, while ensuring smooth gas flow, reducing airflow resistance, and avoiding significant impact on the working efficiency of the pneumatic system. At the same time, the metallic properties of brass particles give it good high temperature resistance and impact resistance, making it less prone to damage due to vibration or temperature changes. The structure is also robust and has no risk of falling off, combining sound absorption effect with structural stability.

[0051] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a spring bushing 6 is provided at one end of the main valve core 2, and the axial degree of freedom of the spring bushing 6 within the main valve cavity 11 is restricted. The main valve core 2 is provided with a first groove 21 and a second groove 22 that cooperate with the spring bushing 6. When the main valve core 2 is in the first position, the spring bushing 6 cooperates with the first groove 21; when the main valve core 2 is in the second position, the spring bushing 6 cooperates with the second groove 22. A convex ring 23 is provided between the first groove 21 and the second groove 22. The spring bushing 6 includes two bushings 61 arranged in half and a spring 62 sleeved outside the bushings 61. When the spring bushing 6 passes the convex ring 23, the bushings 61 are opened; after the spring bushing 6 passes the convex ring 23, the bushings 61 close under the elastic force of the spring 62. The function of the spring bushing 6 is to apply resistance to the main valve core 2, so that the switching air pressure reaches a set value to activate the main valve core 2. Furthermore, when the pressure exceeds the set value, the main valve core 2 can quickly switch directions. The spring bushing 6 also ensures that the automatic reciprocating valve has an initial position during assembly. During assembly, if the spring bushing 6 is engaged in the first groove 21, the main valve core 2 is in the first position, at which point the working port B13 is connected to the air inlet P14, and the working port A12 is connected to the exhaust port R16. If the spring bushing 6 is engaged in the second groove 22, the main valve core 2 is in the second position, at which point the working port A12 is connected to the air inlet P14, and the working port B13 is connected to the exhaust port S15.
