Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of transmission devices, and more particularly to an intelligent remote transmission device. Background Technology

[0002] To address the issue of valves being unable to be operated locally due to factors such as space, environment, and climate (e.g., areas with toxic or harmful gases, flammable or explosive areas, nuclear radiation areas, confined spaces, enclosed spaces, areas submerged in water, or areas inaccessible to operators), existing technologies utilize custom-designed valve adapters, flexible shafts, operating tables, etc., connected to the valve to transfer the operation point to a safe area, thereby enabling the valve to be opened or closed.

[0003] However, existing valve remote control mechanisms cannot display the actual torque value input by the operator or the actual torque value output by the remote control mechanism, making it impossible to determine the valve's opening degree. In other words, existing remote control devices struggle to effectively control valve flow and are unsuitable for remote operation of valves requiring flow control. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of current remote transmission devices, the present invention provides an intelligent remote transmission device that can remotely control the opening and closing of valves and the valve rotation angle, and can precisely regulate the valve based on relevant data from a torque sensor, thereby realizing the control of the flow rate within the valve.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present invention adopt the following technical solutions:

[0006] An intelligent remote transmission device includes:

[0007] The operating device is positioned at a certain distance from the valve;

[0008] An input torque sensor is located at the output end of the operating device;

[0009] The drive shaft is connected at one end to the input torque sensor and at the other end to a universal coupling.

[0010] An output torque sensor is located at the other end of the universal coupling and connected to the valve.

[0011] The output torque sensor and / or input torque sensor are used to acquire one or more data combinations of torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency, so that the operator can control the opening and closing of the valve, rotation angle, and direction through the operating device.

[0012] According to one aspect of the present invention, the output torque sensor and / or the input torque sensor are provided with a Bluetooth module, the Bluetooth module being wirelessly connected to the testing equipment, and the testing equipment acquiring data on one or more combinations of the rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency of the remote transmission device in real time via Bluetooth.

[0013] According to one aspect of the present invention, a display screen is connected to the output torque sensor and / or the input torque sensor, the display screen being used to display one or more data combinations of torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency in real time.

[0014] According to one aspect of the invention, a valve adapter is provided between the output torque sensor and the valve.

[0015] According to one aspect of the invention, the universal coupling is connected to the drive shaft via a sleeve coupling.

[0016] According to one aspect of the invention, a through member is provided between the sleeve coupling and the universal coupling.

[0017] According to one aspect of the invention, the through-hole is a flange-type through-hole for fixing or embedding within an obstacle.

[0018] According to one aspect of the invention, the drive shaft is flexible or rigid.

[0019] According to one aspect of the invention, the operating device includes a central shaft, a fixing device, and a handwheel, the handwheel being connected to the central shaft, and the central shaft being connected to the input torque sensor.

[0020] According to one aspect of the present invention, the universal coupling is a cross universal coupling. Advantages of this invention include: the valve adapter allows for matching settings according to different types of valves, making it applicable to various valve types and thus having a wide range of applications. The flange-type through-piece allows the remote transmission device to pass through obstacles and be fixed or embedded inside them, ensuring the remote transmission device is suitable for different scenarios. The torque sensor allows for real-time monitoring and acquisition of torque values, rotation direction, rotation angle, transmission efficiency, etc., and displays them on the screen, enabling operators to adjust the operating device based on the relevant data, thereby achieving precise valve control and controlling the valve flow rate. The torque sensor is equipped with a Bluetooth module, allowing the real-time data monitored by the torque sensor to be wirelessly transmitted to the testing equipment, enabling operators to adjust the valve opening / closing and rotation angle based on the data displayed on the testing equipment, thus achieving precise valve control. Furthermore, the wireless connection method is suitable for special scenarios where wiring is inconvenient, expanding the applicability of the remote transmission device. The present invention provides a remote device that can remotely control the opening and closing of valves and the valve rotation angle, and can precisely regulate the valve based on relevant data from a torque sensor, thereby controlling the flow rate within the valve.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent remote transmission device is applicable to valves requiring remote control, such as in areas with toxic or harmful gases, flammable or explosive areas, nuclear radiation areas, confined spaces, or enclosed spaces where operators cannot access them. It includes an operating device 9, positioned at a certain distance from the valve 1, for remotely operating the valve's opening and closing. The operating device 9 has an input torque sensor 8 at its output end. The other end of the input torque sensor 8 is connected to a drive shaft 7, and the other end of the drive shaft 7 is connected to a universal coupling 4. The other end of the universal coupling 4 has an output torque sensor 3, which is connected to the valve 1. The output torque sensor 3 and / or the input torque sensor 8 acquire one or more data combinations of torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency, allowing the operator to control the valve's opening and closing, rotation angle, and direction via a control device. A display screen is connected to the output torque sensor 3 and / or the input torque sensor 8, displaying in real-time the torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency monitored by the torque sensor. Operators can adjust the operating device according to the displayed data to control the opening and closing, rotation angle and rotation direction of the valve, thereby controlling the valve flow rate.

[0030] In this embodiment, a valve adapter 2 is provided between the output torque sensor 3 and the valve 1. The valve adapter 2 is designed according to the type and stem size of the valve 1 to match different types of valves, enabling better control of the valve.

[0031] In this embodiment, the universal coupling 4 and the drive shaft 7 are connected by a sleeve coupling 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, a through-piece 5 is provided between the sleeve coupling 6 and the universal coupling 4. The through-piece 5 is a flange-type through-piece, used for fixing or embedding into obstacles. The through-piece 5 is used when it needs to pass through obstacles such as walls and protective covers, so that it can be fixed or embedded into the wall surface, protective cover, or other obstacles. The through-piece 5 is sealed to the obstacle.

[0033] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 7 is either flexible or rigid.

[0034] In this embodiment, the operating device 9 includes a central shaft 91, a fixing device, and a handwheel 92. The handwheel 92 is connected to the central shaft 91, and the central shaft 91 is connected to the input torque sensor 8.

[0035] In this embodiment, the universal coupling 4 is a cross universal coupling.

[0036] The advantages of this invention are as follows: By using a valve adapter, it can be matched and configured to suit different types of valves, making it applicable to various valve types and thus having a wide range of applications. The flange-type through-piece allows the remote transmission device to pass through obstacles and be fixed or embedded inside them, ensuring the remote transmission device can be used in different scenarios. The torque sensor allows for real-time monitoring and acquisition of torque values, rotation direction, rotation angle, transmission efficiency, and other values, which are displayed on the screen. This allows operators to adjust the control device based on the relevant data, thereby achieving precise valve control and ultimately controlling the valve flow rate. The remote device in this embodiment can remotely control the opening and closing of valves and the valve rotation angle, and can precisely adjust the valve based on the relevant data from the torque sensor, thereby controlling the flow rate within the valve.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the output torque sensor 3 and / or the input torque sensor 8 are equipped with a Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth module is wirelessly connected to the testing equipment, and the testing equipment acquires one or more data combinations of the torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency via Bluetooth. After the torque sensor collects the torque data, it transmits it to the testing equipment, which can then display one or more combinations of the torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency in real time. Figure 2As shown, this is the testing software interface of the testing equipment, which can display data such as rotation direction, torque value, transmission efficiency, and rotation angle. Operators can better control the opening and closing, rotation angle, and rotation direction of the valve based on the above data, thereby better controlling the valve flow.

[0039] The advantages of this embodiment are: by incorporating a Bluetooth module on the torque sensor, the real-time data monitored by the sensor can be wirelessly transmitted to the testing equipment. This allows operators to adjust the valve's opening, closing, and rotation angles based on the data displayed on the testing equipment, thereby achieving precise valve control. Furthermore, the wireless connection method is suitable for special scenarios where wiring is inconvenient, expanding the applicability of the remote-controlled decoration system.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] like Figure 1 The prototype of the intelligent remote transmission mechanism shown has its valve connected to a water pipe to test relevant data and processes, and is described in detail so that those skilled in the art can understand its working principle and workflow.

[0042] An intelligent remote transmission device includes a bracket 10. An operating device 9 is mounted on the bracket 10, and a certain distance is maintained between the operating device 9 and a valve 1 for remotely operating the valve's opening and closing. The valve 1 is installed in the middle of a water pipe 13, with one end connected to an inlet pipe 131 and the other end connected to an outlet pipe 132. The other end of the inlet pipe 131 is connected to a high-level water tank 11, and the other end of the outlet pipe 132 is connected to a low-level water tank 12. The low-level water tank 12 and the high-level water tank 11 are connected via a circulating water pipe 14. A water pump is installed in the low-level water tank 12, which pumps water from the low-level water tank into the high-level water tank 11, thereby achieving water circulation. The low-level water tank 12, water pipes, etc., are all mounted on the bracket 10.

[0043] The operating device 9 has an input torque sensor 8 at its output end. The other end of the input torque sensor 8 is connected to a drive shaft 7, and the other end of the drive shaft 7 is connected to a universal coupling 4. The other end of the universal coupling 4 has an output torque sensor 3, which is connected to the valve 1. The output torque sensor 3 and the input torque sensor 8 are used to acquire one or more data combinations of torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency, so that the operator can control the valve's opening and closing, rotation angle, and rotation direction through the control device. The torque value includes both input torque and output torque.

[0044] The output torque sensor 3 and the input torque sensor 8 are connected to a display screen. The display screen can be connected to the torque sensor via a wired or wireless connection. The display screen can display one or more data combinations of the torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency monitored by the torque sensor in real time. The operator can adjust the operating device according to the displayed data to control the opening and closing of the valve, the rotation angle, and the rotation direction, thereby controlling the valve flow rate.

[0045] The output torque sensor 3 and / or the input torque sensor 8 are also equipped with a Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth module is wirelessly connected to the testing equipment, and the testing equipment acquires one or more data combinations of torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency in real time via Bluetooth. After the torque sensor collects torque data, it transmits it to the testing equipment via Bluetooth. The testing equipment can display one or more combinations of torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency in real time. To better verify that the remote transmission device can better control the valve opening and closing, rotation angle, and rotation direction, the inlet pipe 131, outlet pipe 132, circulating water pipe 14, low-level water tank, and high-level water tank are all made of transparent material, and the internal liquid is a colored liquid, which facilitates intuitive perception of the intelligent remote operation valve's closing, rotation direction, rotation angle, and liquid flow state.

[0046] In this embodiment, a valve adapter 2 is provided between the output torque sensor 3 and the valve 1. The valve adapter 2 is designed according to the type and stem size of the valve 1 to match different types of valves, enabling better control of the valve.

[0047] In this embodiment, the universal coupling 4 and the drive shaft 7 are connected by a sleeve coupling 6.

[0048] In this embodiment, a through-piece 5 is provided between the sleeve coupling 6 and the universal coupling 4. The through-piece 5 is a flange-type through-piece, used for fixing or embedding within an obstacle. The through-piece 5 is used when it needs to penetrate obstacles such as walls or protective covers, so that it can be fixed or embedded within the wall surface, protective cover, or other obstacles. The through-piece 5 is sealed to the obstacle.

[0049] In this embodiment, the transmission shaft 7 is a flexible shaft or a rigid shaft.

[0050] In this embodiment, the operating device 9 includes a central shaft 91, a fixing device, and a handwheel 92. The handwheel 92 is connected to the central shaft 91, and the central shaft 91 is connected to the input torque sensor 8.

[0051] In this embodiment, the universal coupling 4 is a cross universal coupling.

[0052] In this embodiment, a flow meter can also be installed on the valve 1. The flow meter is connected to the display screen. The flow meter and the display screen can be connected by wired or wireless means to facilitate the transmission of flow information in the valve to the display screen.

[0053] The working principle or operation process in this implementation is as follows: The operator controls the handwheel 92 to rotate counterclockwise. The operating torque is transmitted sequentially to valve 1 through the input torque sensor 8, drive shaft 7, sleeve coupling 6, through-hole 5, universal coupling 4, output torque sensor 3, and valve adapter 2, opening valve 1. During the valve opening process, the output torque sensor 3 and the input torque sensor 8 collect and process the torque values ​​and display the data on the connected display screen. The display screen shows the input torque, output torque, rotation direction, and other values ​​of the remote transmission device in real time. After the testing equipment is connected via Bluetooth, the testing software of the testing equipment displays and records information such as torque value, rotation direction, rotation angle, and transmission efficiency. The operator can adjust the handwheel based on this data to control the valve flow. If the valve is opened, the operator rotates the handwheel 92 clockwise, and valve 1 will close.

[0054] The advantages of this invention are as follows: By using a valve adapter, it can be matched and configured for different types of valves, making it applicable to various valve types and thus having a wide range of applications. The flange-type through-piece allows the remote transmission device to pass through obstacles and be fixed or embedded inside them, ensuring its applicability to different scenarios. The torque sensor monitors and acquires torque values, rotation direction, rotation angle, transmission efficiency, and other values ​​in real time, displaying them on the screen. This allows operators to adjust the control device based on the data, achieving precise valve control and thus controlling the valve flow rate. The torque sensor is equipped with a Bluetooth module, enabling wireless transmission of the data monitored in real time to a testing device. This allows operators to adjust the valve opening / closing, rotation angle, and rotation direction based on the data displayed on the testing device, achieving precise valve control. Furthermore, the wireless connection is suitable for special scenarios where wiring is inconvenient, expanding the applicability of the remote transmission device. This invention provides a remote device that can remotely control valve opening / closing and rotation angle, and can precisely regulate the valve based on data from the torque sensor, thereby controlling the flow rate within the valve.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
