TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bottle valve, in particular to a valve for automatically closing petroleum gas steel cylinder in case of leakage. BACKGROUND
[0002] For many years, liquefied petroleum gas as a fuel, with convenient, fast and clean advantages into people's life. The existing coal gas leakage detection is mainly to install a gas leakage alarm on the pipeline, when the gas leaks, the sound alarm, but this can not be a good solution, the alarm sound after people to close or handle, when people are not at home, can not effectively prevent accidents, and if the gas cylinder angle valve connection leaks can not play a closing protection. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more reliable performance of the intelligent limit, leakage automatically close the valve to ensure the safety of people's life and property.
[0003] The existing leakage detection device on the market has high cost, complex structure, needs 220V power supply (the heating of the electromagnetic valve in action when leaking is also a hidden danger, if power failure, the function fails), and the lengthening leads to the pressure reducing valve exposed too much from the steel cylinder, which has the possibility of collision and leakage. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a valve for automatically closing petroleum gas steel cylinder in case of leakage, which solves the problems of the existing leakage detection device on the market, such as high cost, complex structure, need for 220V power supply, heating of the electromagnetic valve in action when leaking is also a hidden danger, if power failure, the function fails, and the lengthening leads to the pressure reducing valve exposed too much from the steel cylinder, which has the possibility of collision and leakage.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present application is realized by the following technical scheme: a valve for automatically closing petroleum gas steel cylinder in case of leakage, comprising a control box and a valve assembly, the inner side of the control box is fixedly connected with a circuit board at the rear end, the middle part of the control box is fixedly connected with a motor, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected with a driving magnet, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected with a driven magnet near the distal end, the right side of the control box is fixedly connected with a lever mounting seat, the inner side of the lever mounting seat is provided with a lever, the inner side of the lever is fixedly connected with an automatic valve core, the bottom of the valve assembly is provided with an automatic valve base, and the inner side of the valve assembly is provided with a spring in the middle and lower part.
[0006] Preferably, the automatic valve core and the valve assembly are fixedly connected with an O-shaped sealing ring one and an O-shaped sealing ring two in sequence at the adjacent side.
[0007] Preferably, the inner side of the control box is fixedly connected with a battery at the front end, and the battery is electrically connected with the circuit board and the motor respectively.
[0008] Preferably, the output end of the control box is connected to the left side of the valve assembly.
[0009] Preferably, a knob is provided on the top of the valve assembly.
[0010] Working principle: The valve body of the automatic valve that automatically closes when the LPG cylinder leaks contains an automatic valve core 9 and an automatic valve seat 14 that can switch the gas supply. In the normal state, the convex surface of the lever 8 faces upwards, and the spring 11 pushes up the automatic valve core, leaving a 2-3mm gap between the valve core and the valve seat 14, allowing LPG to flow normally between them. When the sensor detects that the LPG concentration outside the cylinder is too high, the circuit board 1 drives the reduction motor 3 to rotate 90° clockwise. The angle is limited by a limit switch installed on the motor. The circuit board detects the motor current. The system works as follows: when the motor rotates forward to the closed limit position, the current increases due to the stall, reaching the closed limit position; when it rotates backward to the open limit position, the reverse current increases, reaching the open limit position. Due to the magnetic field, when the active magnet 5 rotates, it simultaneously drives the driven magnet 6 to rotate. The lever 8 mounted on the magnet rotates synchronously, causing the protrusion on the lever 8 to press down the automatic valve core 9, making the automatic valve core 9 tightly fit against the automatic valve seat 10, thereby shutting off the gas supply from the gas cylinder internally. At the same time, an alarm signal is issued, and the alarm information is given to the user on the APP. If the fault is resolved, the internal valve can be reopened on the APP for normal use.
[0011] This invention provides a valve for automatically shutting off leaks in LPG cylinders. It offers the following advantages:
[0012] This invention relates to an automatic valve that automatically shuts off when a gas cylinder leaks. The valve body contains an automatic valve core 9 and an automatic valve seat 14 that control the flow of gas. In the normal operating state, the lever 8 has its convex surface facing upwards, and a spring 11 pushes up the automatic valve core, creating a 2-3mm gap between the valve core and the valve seat 14, allowing liquefied gas to flow normally between them. When a sensor detects excessively high liquefied gas concentration outside the cylinder, the circuit board 1 drives a reduction motor 3 to rotate 90° clockwise. The angle is limited by a limit switch installed on the motor. The circuit board detects the actual motor current. When the motor rotates forward to the closed limit position, the current increases due to the stall, reaching the closed limit position. When it rotates backward to the open limit position, the reverse current increases, reaching the open limit position. Due to the magnetic field, when the active magnet 5 rotates, it simultaneously drives the driven magnet 6 to rotate. The lever 8 mounted on the magnet rotates synchronously, causing the protrusion on the lever 8 to press down the automatic valve core 9, making the automatic valve core 9 tightly fit against the automatic valve seat 10, thereby shutting off the gas supply from the gas cylinder internally. At the same time, an alarm signal is issued, and the alarm information is given to the user on the APP. If the fault is resolved, the internal valve can be reopened on the APP for normal use.
