Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solenoid valve technology, specifically to a combined multi-unit solenoid valve. Background Technology

[0002] Precise control of multiple gas paths is a core technology in many fields such as industrial automation control, medical equipment, and analytical instruments. To achieve selective gas supply from a single gas source to multiple operating points, combined multi-channel solenoid valves have emerged. These valves typically integrate multiple independent outlet solenoid valves onto a common valve seat. By controlling the opening and closing of each outlet solenoid valve, on-demand flow from a single inlet to multiple outlets is achieved, thereby simplifying the piping structure and improving system integration and reliability.

[0003] However, in practical applications, when an actuator driven by a certain air outlet needs to maintain a specific pressure or flow rate, or when the pipeline pressure drops due to prolonged operation, dynamic air replenishment is often required to maintain system stability. To address this, existing technologies have developed solutions that incorporate a dedicated air replenishment solenoid valve on the valve seat. This solenoid valve is directly connected to the air intake source, and when it opens, it replenishes air to the specific air outlet pipeline connected to it.

[0004] However, this traditional air replenishment design has significant limitations. Its main drawback is that the function of the air replenishment solenoid valve is fixed and singular; it can typically only replenish air to one preset outlet, and the replenishment target cannot be changed. When different outlets in the system alternately require air replenishment under different operating conditions, the existing structure cannot flexibly switch the air replenishment channel, preventing it from providing targeted air replenishment to each outlet according to actual needs. Furthermore, it cannot switch to a working state that simultaneously replenishes air to all outlets to meet special requirements such as rapid recovery of the overall system pressure.

[0005] This inherent limitation greatly restricts the application flexibility and adaptability of multi-unit solenoid valves, making the equipment significantly inadequate when facing complex and ever-changing control requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0050] When the second air supply valve core 53 rotates to the fourth working angle, the second through channel 532 is connected to the sixth through hole 543 on the first end plate 54; when it rotates to the fifth working angle, the second through channel 532 is connected to the eighth through hole 561 on the partition ring 56; when it rotates to the sixth working angle, the second through channel 532 is simultaneously connected to the seventh through hole 544 on the first end plate 54 and the ninth through hole 562 on the partition ring 56.

[0051] Through the above structural design, the second air replenishment valve core 53 can accurately guide the air replenishment flow according to different working angles, and work with the first air replenishment valve core 52 to achieve multi-path composite air replenishment control, further improving the system's adaptability and adjustment accuracy to different air outlet combinations.

[0052] like Figure 4 , Figures 12-15 As shown, the fixed cylinder 51 is also provided with a first air supply hole 513 and a second air supply hole 514. The first air supply hole 513 is connected to the first air supply inlet 511 and the first annular groove 521, and the second air supply hole 514 is connected to the second air supply inlet 512 and the second annular groove 531.

[0053] In the air replenishment switching assembly 5, the fixed cylinder 51 is also provided with a first air replenishment hole 513 and a second air replenishment hole 514. The first air replenishment hole 513 connects the first air replenishment inlet 511 and the first annular groove 521 on the outer periphery of the first air replenishment valve core 52, while the second air replenishment hole 514 connects the second air replenishment inlet 512 and the second annular groove 531 on the outer periphery of the second air replenishment valve core 53, thereby forming a complete air path connection from the air replenishment inlet to the corresponding valve core internal channel.

[0054] This structure enables the stable introduction of the replenishing airflow from the inlet on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 51 to the valve core annular groove, providing an effective basis for subsequent control of the airflow path by rotating the valve core angle, and further ensuring the controllability of the replenishing process and the sealing of the channel.

[0055] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a first annular bevel tooth structure 526 is provided on the circumferential surface of the first air replenishment valve core 52; the air replenishment switching assembly 5 also includes a first adjusting rod 571 rotatably disposed in the multi-port valve seat 1, the bottom end of the first adjusting rod 571 extends into the air replenishment channel 15 and is equipped with a first bevel gear 572; the first bevel gear 572 meshes with the first annular bevel tooth structure 526 to drive the first air replenishment valve core 52 to rotate.

[0056] In the air replenishment switching assembly 5, a first annular bevel tooth structure 526 is machined on the circumferential surface of the first air replenishment valve core 52. The assembly is also equipped with a first adjusting rod 571 rotatably mounted in the multi-port valve seat 1. The bottom end of the adjusting rod extends into the air replenishment channel 15 and is fitted with a first bevel gear 572. The first bevel gear 572 meshes with the first annular bevel tooth structure 526 on the first air replenishment valve core 52. By externally operating the first adjusting rod 571 to rotate, the first air replenishment valve core 52 can be precisely driven to rotate to the required working angle.

[0057] This gear transmission structure enables precise control of the angle of the internal air replenishment valve core from outside the valve seat. It is simple and reliable to operate and effectively improves the accuracy and response efficiency of air replenishment path switching.

[0058] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a second annular bevel tooth structure 534 is provided on the circumferential surface of the second air replenishment valve core 53; the air replenishment switching assembly 5 also includes a second adjusting rod 573 rotatably disposed in the multi-port valve seat 1, the bottom end of the second adjusting rod 573 extends into the air replenishment channel 15 and is equipped with a second bevel gear 574; the second bevel gear 574 meshes with the second annular bevel tooth structure 534 to drive the second air replenishment valve core 53 to rotate.

[0059] In the air replenishment switching assembly 5, a second annular bevel tooth structure 534 is provided on the circumferential surface of the second air replenishment valve core 53. The assembly also includes a second adjusting rod 573 rotatably mounted in the multi-port valve seat 1, the bottom end of which extends into the air replenishment channel 15 and is fitted with a second bevel gear 574. The second bevel gear 574 meshes with the second annular bevel tooth structure 534 on the second air replenishment valve core 53, and the rotation angle of the second air replenishment valve core 53 can be precisely controlled by rotating the second adjusting rod 573.

[0060] By operating the corresponding adjustment levers externally, the working angles of the two air replenishment valve cores can be controlled independently or synchronously, further enhancing the system's ability to adjust multiple air replenishment paths and its operational flexibility. The bevel gear transmission structure ensures the accuracy and reliability of angle control, making the switching of the air replenishment process more stable and efficient.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the multi-port valve seat 1 is also provided with two positioning cylinders 581 that are coaxial with the first adjusting rod 571 and the second adjusting rod 573 respectively. The top of the positioning cylinder 581 is provided with a positioning ring 5811. The top of the first adjusting rod 571 and the second adjusting rod 573 are both provided with an internal toothed cap 582 that is rotatably connected to them on the same axis. The positioning ring 5811 is provided with a transmission gear 583 that is distributed along its circumference. The upper part of the circumferential surface of the first adjusting rod 571 and the second adjusting rod 573 is provided with a driven tooth 584 that is distributed along its circumference. The transmission gear 583 meshes with the internal toothed cap 582 and the driven tooth 584.

[0062] Two positioning cylinders 581, coaxial with the first adjusting rod 571 and the second adjusting rod 573 respectively, are also provided on the multi-port valve seat 1. A positioning ring 5811 is provided at the top of each positioning cylinder 581. An internal toothed cap 582, rotatably connected to the top of both the first adjusting rod 571 and the second adjusting rod 573, is mounted on the top of each rod. Driven gears 583 are distributed circumferentially on the positioning ring 5811, and driven teeth 584 are correspondingly distributed circumferentially on the upper part of the circumferential surfaces of the first adjusting rod 571 and the second adjusting rod 573. The drive gears 583 mesh with both the internal toothed cap 582 and the driven teeth 584 on the adjusting rods, forming a reduction transmission mechanism.

[0063] This reduction gear mechanism ensures that when the operator rotates the internal gear cap 582, the input angle is precisely converted by the transmission system into the corresponding rotation angle of the adjusting rod and the air replenishment valve core, thereby achieving accurate switching of the working position of the air replenishment valve core. This design not only improves the accuracy and repeatability of angle control, but also enhances the stability of operation and the tactile feedback through mechanical reduction, making the switching of the air replenishment path more reliable and intuitive.

[0064] like Figure 5As shown, the positioning cylinder 581 is provided with mounting holes distributed along its circumference. A ball bearing 585 that can extend radially along the positioning cylinder 581 is provided in the mounting holes. The outer sides of the first adjusting rod 571 and the second adjusting rod 573 are both provided with grooves 587 corresponding to the ball bearing 585. The positioning cylinder 581 is also fitted with a pressure ring 586 with a conical inner circumference. The ball bearing 585 abuts against the inner circumference of the pressure ring 586. An elastic element 588 is provided between the pressure ring 586 and the positioning ring 5811.

[0065] The positioning cylinder 581 of the multi-port valve seat 1 has several mounting holes distributed circumferentially, and radially expandable balls 585 are installed in the holes. The outer surfaces of the first adjusting rod 571 and the second adjusting rod 573 are respectively provided with annular grooves 587 that match the balls 585. A pressure ring 586 with an inner conical structure is fitted onto the positioning cylinder 581, and the balls 585 always maintain contact with the conical inner surface of the pressure ring 586. An elastic element 588 is installed between the pressure ring 586 and the positioning ring 5811, and the pressure ring 586 continuously applies radial pressure to the balls 585 through preload.

[0066] This structure constitutes a reliable axial positioning and tactile feedback mechanism. When the adjusting rod rotates, the ball bearing 585 undergoes periodic radial displacement under the action of the conical surface of the pressure ring 586, creating a clear gear position feel with the groove 587 of the adjusting rod. The continuous pressure provided by the elastic element 588 ensures positioning stability, effectively preventing accidental rotation of the adjusting rod, while providing the operator with clear angle switching feedback, further improving the accuracy of the air replenishment valve core angle adjustment and the operating experience.

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, the top of the internal toothed cap 582 is provided with an indicator arrow 5821, and the multi-port valve seat 1 is provided with a first rotation angle mark 16 distributed circumferentially along the first adjusting rod 571 and a second rotation angle mark 17 distributed circumferentially along the second adjusting rod 573.

[0068] A clear indicator arrow 5821 is provided at the top of the internal toothed cap 582. At the same time, a first rotation angle mark 16 is distributed along the circumference of the first adjusting rod 571 and a second rotation angle mark 17 is distributed along the circumference of the second adjusting rod 573 on the surface of the multi-port valve seat 1. These marks correspond precisely to the various working angle positions of the first air replenishment valve core 52 and the second air replenishment valve core 53.

[0069] By observing the alignment of the indicator arrow 5821 with the corresponding angle mark, operators can intuitively confirm the current working status of the first air replenishment valve core 52 and the second air replenishment valve core 53. This visual indication system greatly simplifies the valve core angle adjustment process, enabling operators to quickly and accurately switch the air replenishment path to the target mode, effectively avoiding misoperation and improving the convenience and reliability of equipment calibration.

[0070] like Figure 14 As shown, the end of the second end plate 55 facing the second air outlet 13 is provided with an external threaded cylinder 555 that is threadedly connected to the air supply channel 15.

[0071] An external threaded cylinder 555 is provided at one end of the second end plate 55 facing the second air outlet 13. The external threaded cylinder 555 forms a threaded engagement with the threaded structure of the inner wall of the air supply channel 15.

[0072] This threaded connection structure ensures the reliable fixation of the second end plate 55 within the air supply channel 15, guaranteeing both the stability of the component assembly and the effective sealing performance of the entire air supply switching module. The threaded connection also facilitates precise positioning during installation and disassembly for later maintenance, improving the product's maintainability and service life.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
