Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of conveying equipment technology, and more specifically, relates to a forming ham transfer and conveying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Ham is a cured or smoked animal leg (such as beef leg, lamb leg, pork leg, chicken leg). It is a cured animal hind leg that has undergone salting, smoking, fermentation, and drying. In general ham food processing, after drying, ham needs to be soaked and steamed before it can be made into food. Ham is mainly transported by conveyor belt in the processing flow.

[0003] 1. Conveyor belts are mainly designed for stable transport. Since the conveyor belt is a planar structure for transporting ham, the ham is prone to shaking and collisions during transport. Moreover, during normal temperature transport, the stickiness of the minced meat can cause the ham pieces to stick together. At the same time, their own weight can cause the bottom of the ham to collapse and deform, which can easily lead to damage.

[0004] 2. Whether the conveyor belt is spliced ​​by overlapping or hot-melt, there will be tiny gaps. In particular, there are right-angle gaps at the connection between the drive roller, driven roller and the side supports. Residual blood and grease will solidify at these places, which can easily breed bacteria and affect the production quality of ham. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a forming ham transfer and conveying device.

[0006] A shaped ham transfer and conveying device includes two sets of conveyor belt bodies, idlers, and fixed boxes. Each idler has a positioning platform inside, and a convex conical ring is fixedly installed on the surface of each positioning platform. A friction strip is provided on the outer side of each convex conical ring. The side ends of both positioning platforms are provided with the same guide frame. A collection box is slidably installed inside each guide frame. Multiple nozzle bodies are provided at the end of each collection box. The device also includes:

[0007] Multiple connecting components are provided, each of which is disposed on the surface of the conveyor belt body. Each connecting component includes a support base, a sealing side plate, a shaft cylinder, and a drain cylinder. Multiple pressure-bearing frames are fixedly installed on the surface of each drain cylinder. An upper support plate is slidably installed inside each pressure-bearing frame. A base plate is fixedly installed on the surface of each upper support plate. A flexible liner is provided on the surface of each base plate.

[0008] Each of the fixed boxes has a conveying pipe fixedly installed inside. Each of the fixed boxes has a first telescopic joint sleeve at both sides. Each of the first telescopic joint sleeves has a sliding insertion tube slidably installed at its top. The interiors of each of the first telescopic joint sleeves and the sliding insertion tube are connected. The end of each of the first telescopic joint sleeves is directly fixedly connected to the conveying pipe.

[0009] Preferably, each of the sliding tubes has a guide outer cone end fixedly installed at its top end. Each guide outer cone end has an outer cone surface structure with a diameter that gradually decreases from top to bottom. Each guide outer cone end has multiple sealing rings on its surface. Each of the sliding tubes has two first reset rods fixedly installed on its surface.

[0010] Each of the shaft cylinders is fixedly installed with a connecting tube inside, and each of the connecting tubes is fixedly installed with a receiving inner conical end at its top. Each receiving inner conical end has an inner conical surface structure, and its diameter gradually increases from bottom to top.

[0011] Each of the connecting pipes penetrates the interior of the sealing side plate, and each of the connecting pipes is provided with a one-way valve plate at its end.

[0012] Preferably, each of the shaft cylinders has an offset sleeve slidably mounted on its surface, the surface of each offset sleeve has an arc structure, and the inner diameter of each offset sleeve is adapted to the shaft cylinder;

[0013] Each offset sleeve has two spring push rods at its end, each spring push rod is fixedly connected to the support base, and each offset sleeve has two locking slide rods inside, the end of each locking slide rod sliding along the inside of the support base;

[0014] Each of the guide frames is provided with a water inlet pipe at its top end, and the end of each water inlet pipe is connected to the pump unit and the water tank. Each of the guide frames is provided with a guide groove at its end.

[0015] Preferably, two second reset rods are slidably installed on the top of each of the collector boxes, and a second telescopic joint sleeve is provided on the top of each of the collector boxes. Each second telescopic joint sleeve has a segmented structure and is connected and communicated with the water inlet pipe.

[0016] Each of the shaft cylinders is provided with a collar at its end, and the end of the shaft cylinder is rotatably connected to the sealing side plate. Each of the drain cylinders is provided with multiple slots on its surface.

[0017] Each of the pressure-bearing frames has raised limiting bosses on both sides of its inner wall, and each of the upper bearing plates has an integrally formed limiting slider on the corresponding side.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] In this invention, a sealed chamber is formed by the combination of a sealing side plate, a base plate, and a flexible liner. Cooling water enters the drain cylinder through a connecting pipe and fills the chamber evenly through the groove on the surface of the drain cylinder. This not only cools the base plate and the flexible liner but also continuously transfers cold energy to the surface of the ham, enabling the ham to cool and set simultaneously during the conveying process.

[0020] In this invention, the outer side of the sealing side plate rubs against the friction strip inside the conveyor belt body, causing it to rotate around the shaft cylinder under resistance. The cleaning fluid is continuously transported to the collection box through the water inlet pipe and the second telescopic sleeve, and then sprayed evenly from the nozzle body, thereby achieving automatic flipping of the flexible liner for precise cleaning.

[0021] In this invention, the flexible liner (made of elastic fiber material) is driven to deform by cooling water, and the sliding stroke limit of the upper support plate in the pressure frame can not only adapt to the arc-shaped contour of the ham, but also adjust the expansion of the flexible liner by controlling the amount of cooling water, thereby adapting to hams of different sizes. At the same time, the two sets of conveyor belt bodies are symmetrically installed, so that the two sets of base plates and the flexible liner can simultaneously clamp the ham and prevent the ham from falling off during the conveying process.

[0022] In this invention, by receiving the inner conical end and pressing the outer conical end of the guide, the sliding tube is pushed to drive the first telescopic joint sleeve to extend and retract. The sliding tube moves a short distance towards the fixed box side. After the receiving inner conical end and the guide outer conical end are completely in contact, the reverse thrust of the first reset rod makes the sliding tube and the connecting pipe port fit tightly together, realizing the automatic docking and delivery of cooling water.

[0023] In this invention, as the conveyor belt body continues to move, the offset sleeve slides away from the convex cone ring, the spring top rod releases elastic potential energy, pushes the offset sleeve to slide towards the sealing side plate, and drives the locking slide rod to re-insert into the sealing side plate, so that the substrate and the flexible liner remain perpendicular to each other, avoiding shaking, realizing automatic flipping and fixing, and improving the overall cycle time of the production line.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-9This invention provides a forming ham transfer and conveying device, comprising two sets of conveyor belt bodies 11, idlers 12, and fixed boxes 13. Each idler 12 has a positioning platform 33 inside, and a conical ring 34 is fixedly installed on the surface of each positioning platform 33. A friction strip 35 is provided on the outer side of each conical ring 34. The side ends of both positioning platforms 33 are provided with the same guide frame 36. A collection box 38 is slidably installed inside each guide frame 36, and multiple nozzle bodies 39 are provided at the end of each collection box 38. The two sets of conveyor belt bodies 11 and fixed boxes 13 are fixed by crossbeams. The idlers 12 are directly connected to a drive motor, which is also mounted through the crossbeams, driving the idlers 12 to rotate synchronously, allowing the conveyor belt bodies 11 to move at a uniform speed along the surface of the idlers 12. The rotation drives the different substrates 31 and flexible liner 32 to move, conveying the processed ham. The friction strip 35 is fixed inside the conveyor belt body 11. The conveyor belt body 11 drives the substrates 31 and flexible liner 32 to move, causing the outer side of the sealing side plate 24 to rub against the friction strip 35. At this time, the sealing side plate 24 is unlocked and rubs against the surface of the friction strip 35. The sealing side plate 24 rotates due to the resistance. The sealing side plate 24 rotates around the shaft cylinder 25. After the substrates 31 and flexible liner 32 automatically release the ham, the substrates 31 and flexible liner 32 rotate 90 degrees around the shaft cylinder 25 and automatically rotate and flip. At this time, the substrates 31 and flexible liner 32 on the other side are cleaned through the collection box 38 and the nozzle body 39.

[0036] Multiple connecting components are provided, each mounted on the surface of the conveyor belt body 11. Each connecting component includes a support base 19, a sealing side plate 24, a shaft cylinder 25, and a drain cylinder 43. Multiple pressure-bearing frames 28 are fixedly mounted on the surface of each drain cylinder 43. An upper support plate 29 is slidably mounted inside each pressure-bearing frame 28. A base plate 31 is fixedly mounted on the surface of each upper support plate 29. A flexible liner 32 is provided on the surface of each base plate 31. Two support bases 19 form a group, which, together with the sealing side plate 24, support the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32. The flexible liner 32 has an arc-shaped structure. By adapting the flexible liner 32 to the shape of the ham, and with the cooperation of the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32, the ham is compressed and fixed. The sealing side plate 24, the base plate 31, and the flexible liner 32 cooperate to form a sealed chamber. Cooling water is supplied to the interior of the chamber to cool the base plate 31 and the flexible liner. While cooling, the substrate 31 and flexible liner 32 adhere to the surface of the ham, also cooling the ham. In addition, the flexible liner 32 is made of elastic fiber material and can deform. By supplying cooling water into the cavity, the flexible liner 32 can deform and expand between the substrate 31. With two sets of conveyor belt bodies 11 symmetrically installed, the two sets of substrate 31 and flexible liner 32 simultaneously clamp and transport the ham. By controlling the amount of cooling water supplied, the flexible liner 32 can gradually expand outward. It can also clamp and fix hams of different sizes to prevent them from falling. The support seat 19 and the sealing side plate 24 cooperate to allow the ham clamped by the flexible liner 32 to be transported vertically. When the two sets of flexible liner 32 move to the end of the conveyor belt body 11, the two sets of conveyor belt bodies 11 separate the substrate 31 and flexible liner 32 along the arc track, and the two sets of flexible liner 32 automatically release the ham.

[0037] Each fixed box 13 has a conveying pipe 14 fixedly installed inside. Each fixed box 13 has a first telescopic joint sleeve 15 at both sides. Each first telescopic joint sleeve 15 has a sliding insertion tube 17 slidably installed at its top. The interiors of each first telescopic joint sleeve 15 and the sliding insertion tube 17 are connected. The end of each first telescopic joint sleeve 15 is directly fixedly connected to the conveying pipe 14. One end of the conveying pipe 14 is connected to the pump unit and the heat exchanger. The cooling water generated by the heat exchanger is sent into the interior of the conveying pipe 14 through the pump unit. Through the diversion of the sliding insertion tube 17, when the sliding insertion tube 17 and the connecting pipe 26 are connected, cooling water can be delivered into the cavity formed by the substrate 31 and the flexible liner 32. The cooling water enters the cavity and, together with the flexible liner 32, adheres to the surface of the ham to continuously cool and shape the conveyed ham.

[0038] Each sliding tube 17 has a fixedly installed guide outer cone end 18 at its top. Each guide outer cone end 18 has an outer cone surface structure, with its diameter gradually decreasing from top to bottom. Multiple sealing rings are provided on the surface of each guide outer cone end 18. Two first reset rods 16 are fixedly installed on the surface of each sliding tube 17. The connecting tube 26 drives the receiving inner cone end 27 to move. The receiving inner cone end 27 will first contact the guide outer cone end 18. Because the cone surface is inclined, the horizontal force generated by sliding will be converted into a guiding force that connects the receiving inner cone end 27 and the guide outer cone end 18. End 27 presses and rubs the guide outer cone end 18, first generating a thrust on the sliding tube 17 and the guide outer cone end 18, causing the sliding tube 17 to drive the first telescopic sleeve 15 to extend and retract. The sliding tube 17 moves a short distance to the side end of the fixed box 13. As the connecting tube 26 continues to slide horizontally, the receiving inner cone end 27 and the guide outer cone end 18 will be completely fitted, forcing the connecting tube 26 and the sliding tube 17 to be coaxially aligned. After alignment, under the reverse force of the first reset rod 16, the first reset rod 16 generates a thrust on the sliding tube 17, so that the sliding tube 17 is always in contact with the port of the connecting tube 26.

[0039] Each shaft sleeve 25 has a connecting pipe 26 fixedly installed inside. Each connecting pipe 26 has a receiving inner conical end 27 fixedly installed at its top end. Each receiving inner conical end 27 has an inner conical surface structure with a diameter that gradually increases from bottom to top. The connecting pipe 26 continues to slide along a fixed direction, allowing the receiving inner conical end 27 to slide away from the conical surface mating area inside the guide outer conical end 18. As the sliding distance increases, the sliding tube 17 is pulled out from inside the connecting pipe 26. Finally, the connecting pipe 26 and the sliding tube 17 are disconnected and horizontally misaligned, completing the separation. There is no further flow of cooling water. The one-way valve plate inside the connecting pipe 26 automatically closes to prevent cooling water leakage inside the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32 cavity.

[0040] Each connecting pipe 26 penetrates the interior of the sealing side plate 24. Each connecting pipe 26 is equipped with a one-way valve plate at its end. When the connecting pipe 26 and the sliding pipe 17 are connected, the inner conical end 27 and the outer conical end 18 are automatically aligned. Cooling water is delivered to the interior of the connecting pipe 26 through the sliding pipe 17. The one-way flowing cooling water impacts the one-way valve plate, opening the reverse valve plate of the connecting pipe 26 and delivering cooling water to the interior of the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32. At the same time, the connecting pipe 26 on the other side is connected to the sliding pipe 17, which discharges the cooling water remaining inside the cavity of the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32.

[0041] Each shaft cylinder 25 has an offset sleeve 21 slidably mounted on its surface. The surface of each offset sleeve 21 is arc-shaped, and the inner diameter of each offset sleeve 21 is adapted to the shaft cylinder 25. When the support seat 19 moves the offset sleeve 21 to slide away from the surface of the cone ring 34, under the force of the two spring push rods 22, the offset sleeve 21 slides back to one side of the sealing side plate 24. The offset sleeve 21 drives the locking slide rod 23 to insert into the interior of the sealing side plate 24, and the end of the locking slide rod 23 is fixed inside the support seat 19. The angle of the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32 can be fixed by the locking slide rod 23, so that when the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32 slide vertically, no shaking occurs.

[0042] Each offset sleeve 21 has two spring push rods 22 at its end, and each spring push rod 22 is fixedly connected to the support base 19. Each offset sleeve 21 has two locking slide rods 23 inside, and the end of each locking slide rod 23 slides along the inside of the support base 19. The sealing side plate 24 and the shaft cylinder 25 fix the angle of the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32. Through the transport rotation of the conveyor belt body 11, the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32 are vertically transported. At this time, the angle of the sealing side plate 24 and the shaft cylinder 25 is locked. When the sealing side plate 24 and the shaft cylinder 25 slide... At the end of the conveyor belt body 11, the outer side of the offset sleeve 21 is an arc-shaped surface. The offset sleeve 21 is squeezed and rubbed against the convex cone ring 34. Since the convex cone ring 34 is fixed, the mutual squeezing and friction causes the offset sleeve 21 to move. The offset sleeve 21 slides along the surface of the shaft cylinder 25 toward the support seat 19. While the offset sleeve 21 slides, it squeezes the spring top rod 22 to compress it. The spring top rod 22 accumulates elastic potential energy. At the same time, the offset sleeve 21 drives the locking slide rod 23 to slide away from the side end of the sealing side plate 24, releasing the fixed state of the sealing side plate 24 and the shaft cylinder 25.

[0043] Each guide frame 36 is equipped with a water inlet pipe 37 at its top end. The end of each water inlet pipe 37 is connected to the pump unit and the water tank. Each guide frame 36 is equipped with a guide groove at its end. The cleaning fluid inside the water tank is delivered to the water inlet pipe 37 by the external pump unit. At the same time, the water inlet pipe 37 is connected to the inside of the guide frame 36. The cleaning fluid is delivered to the collection box 38 through the water inlet pipe 37 in conjunction with the second telescopic joint sleeve 42.

[0044] Two second reset rods 41 are slidably installed on the top of each collection box 38. Each collection box 38 is provided with a second telescopic sleeve 42 at its top. Each second telescopic sleeve 42 has a segmented structure and is connected to the water inlet pipe 37. By extending and retracting the second reset rods 41, the second reset rods 41 are stretched at the end of the guide frame 36. The second reset rods 41 exert a pushing force on the collection box 38, causing the collection box 38 to slide along one side of the guide frame 36. While the collection box 38 slides, it drives the nozzle body 39 to move, adjusting the distance between the nozzle body 39 and the flexible liner 32. At the same time, while the collection box 38 slides, it exerts a pulling force on one end of the second telescopic sleeve 42. The second telescopic sleeve 42 moves and extends with the collection box 38, ensuring that while the collection box 38 moves, it also delivers cleaning fluid into the collection box 38.

[0045] Each shaft cylinder 25 is provided with a collar at its end, and the end of the shaft cylinder 25 is rotatably connected to the sealing side plate 24. Each drain cylinder 43 is provided with multiple slots on its surface. The connecting pipe 26 is fully connected to the interior of the drain cylinder 43. Cooling water enters the interior of the drain cylinder 43 through the connecting pipe 26, and at the same time, cooling water overflows from the interior of the drain cylinder 43. The cooling water fills the inner side of the substrate 31 and the flexible liner 32. Moreover, the shaft cylinder 25 can rotate inside the support base 19. The sealing side plate 24 and the shaft cylinder 25 rotate synchronously. The sealing side plate 24 provides connection and support for the substrate 31 and the flexible liner 32. The shaft cylinder 25 drives the substrate 31 and the flexible liner 32 to rotate.

[0046] Each pressure frame 28 has raised limiting bosses on both sides of its inner wall, and each upper bearing plate 29 has an integrally formed limiting slider on the corresponding side. When the flexible liner 32 expands and drives the upper bearing plate 29 to slide, the limiting slider will abut against the limiting bosses of the pressure frame 28 to limit the sliding stroke of the upper bearing plate 29.

[0047] Working principle:

[0048] In the first step, two sets of conveyor belt bodies 11 are symmetrically installed via a crossbeam frame. The idler rollers 12 are connected to the drive motor on the crossbeam frame. After the drive motor starts, it drives the idler rollers 12 to rotate synchronously, thereby pulling the conveyor belt bodies 11 to rotate uniformly along the surface of the idler rollers 12. There are two support seats 19 in a set, which, together with the sealing side plate 24, support the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32. The flexible liner 32 is an arc-shaped structure made of elastic fiber material. The base plate 31 is fixed on its outer side and is connected to the upper support plate 29. The pressure frame 28 is fixed on the surface of the drain cylinder 43. The drain cylinder 43 is placed inside the shaft cylinder 25. The end collar of the shaft cylinder 25 rotates with the sealing side plate 24. The spring push rod 22 (fixed to the support base 19) pushes the offset sleeve 21, which drives the locking slide rod 23 to be inserted into the sealing side plate 24. At the same time, the end of the locking slide rod 23 slides along the support base 19, locking the angle of the sealing side plate 24 and the shaft cylinder 25. The base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32 remain perpendicular to each other to prevent shaking. The upper support plate 29 slides in the pressure frame 28 to adapt to the expansion deformation of the flexible liner 32. When the flexible liner 32 expands under the pressure of cooling water, it will drive the base plate 31 to move outward synchronously. The upper support plate 29 slides with the base plate 31 in the pressure frame 28 to prevent the base plate 31 from deforming due to expansion force.

[0049] The conveying pipe 14 inside the fixed box 13 connects the pump unit and the heat exchanger. The cooling water generated by the heat exchanger is sent into the conveying pipe 14 by the pump unit, and then conveyed to the sliding pipe 17 through the first telescopic joint sleeve 15. When the connecting assembly moves to the ham loading position with the conveyor belt body 11, the connecting pipe 26 (penetrating the sealing side plate 24 and with a one-way valve plate at the end) inside the shaft cylinder 25 moves closer to the sliding pipe 17. The receiving inner conical end 27 (inner conical surface, with a smaller diameter at the bottom and a larger diameter at the top) at the top of the connecting pipe 26 connects with the top of the sliding pipe 17. The guide outer cone end 18 (outer cone surface, diameter smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, with a sealing ring on the surface) contacts, and the cone surface converts the horizontal moving force into a guiding force. The receiving inner cone end 27 presses against the guide outer cone end 18, pushing the sliding tube 17 to drive the first telescopic sleeve 15 to extend and retract. The sliding tube 17 moves a short distance towards the fixed box 13. After the receiving inner cone end 27 and the guide outer cone end 18 are completely in contact, the reverse thrust of the first reset rod 16 makes the sliding tube 17 tightly fit with the port of the connecting tube 26, completing the sealing connection.

[0050] In the second step, cooling water enters the connecting pipe 26 through the sliding tube 17, impacting the one-way valve plate to open it. The cooling water flows into the drain cylinder 43, and the groove on the surface of the drain cylinder 43 allows the cooling water to overflow evenly, filling the sealed chamber formed by the substrate 31 and the flexible liner 32. The flexible liner 32 (elastic fiber material) deforms and expands under the pressure of the cooling water, adapting to the arc-shaped contour of the ham and being squeezed and fixed. By controlling the amount of cooling water, it can be adapted to hams of different sizes. The cooling water in the sealed chamber simultaneously cools the substrate 31 and the flexible liner 32, and adheres to the surface of the ham to achieve cooling and shaping. The connecting pipe 26 on the other side connects with the corresponding sliding tube 17, simultaneously discharging the residual cooling water in the chamber to achieve fluid circulation. The edge of the flexible liner 32 and the edge of the substrate 31 are sealed and fixed by a vulcanization bonding process to form a closed-loop sealing boundary. When the flexible liner 32 expands, the sealing strip and the vulcanization bonding point will adhere synchronously with the deformation, maintaining the airtightness of the chamber and preventing cooling water leakage.

[0051] The arc surface of the offset sleeve 21 is squeezed and rubbed against the convex cone ring 34 (fixed part) on the positioning platform 33 inside the idler roller 12, causing the offset sleeve 21 to slide along the shaft cylinder 25 toward the support seat 19. At the same time, the spring top rod 22 is compressed (accumulating elastic potential energy). The offset sleeve 21 drives the locking slide rod 23 to slide away from the sealing side plate 24, releasing the angle lock between the sealing side plate 24 and the shaft cylinder 25. The friction strip 35 inside the conveyor belt body 11 (fixed inside the conveyor belt body 11) rubs against the outside of the sealing side plate 24. The sealing side plate 24 rotates around the shaft cylinder 25 under resistance. The base plate 31 and flexible liner 32 of the two sets of conveyor belt bodies 11 separate along the arc track. The flexible liner 32 automatically releases the ham. After the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32 automatically release the ham, the base plate 31 and the flexible liner 32 rotate ninety degrees around the shaft cylinder 25 and automatically rotate and flip.

[0052] In the third step, the water inlet pipe 37 on the guide frame 36 (connecting the pump unit and the water tank) delivers the cleaning fluid to the second telescopic joint sleeve 42, and then into the collection box 38 (sliding in the guide groove of the guide frame 36). The second reset rod 41 at the top of the collection box 38 extends and retracts, pushing the collection box 38 to slide along the guide groove, adjusting the distance between the nozzle body 39 (multiple at the end of the collection box 38) and the flipped flexible liner 32. At the same time, the second telescopic joint sleeve 42 extends and retracts with the collection box 38 to ensure continuous delivery of cleaning fluid. The nozzle body 39 sprays out cleaning fluid to continuously clean each flexible liner 32.

[0053] After cleaning, the connecting assembly continues to move with the conveyor belt body 11. The offset sleeve 21 slides away from the convex cone ring 34, and the spring push rod 22 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the offset sleeve 21 to slide towards the sealing side plate 24, causing the locking slide rod 23 to re-insert into the sealing side plate 24, restoring the angle lock. The connecting tube 26 moves with the conveyor belt, receiving the inner cone end 27 and the guide outer cone end 18 to separate. The sliding tube 17 is pulled out from the connecting tube 26. The one-way valve plate at the end of the connecting tube 26 is a spring-return flat plate valve structure. The main body of the valve plate is a round rubber-coated hard plate with an annular rubber sealing ring embedded on the edge, which is adapted to the stepped sealing surface of the inner wall of the connecting tube 26. When the cooling water impacts the valve plate, the water pressure overcomes the preload of the return spring, pushes the valve plate open to separate it from the sealing surface, and realizes water flow. After the flow is cut off, the rebound force of the return spring pushes the valve plate to re-fit the sealing surface, and completes automatic closure and leakage prevention with the help of the rubber sealing ring.
