Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to a switch mechanism and a valve. Background Art

[0002] In a fluid system, a valve is a device used to control the direction, pressure, and flow of the fluid, so that the medium (liquid, gas, powder) in the piping and equipment can flow or stop and control its flow.

[0003] When the current valve is switched, the valve core rotates to engage or disengage with the valve inlet, opening or closing the inlet. However, in the process of the valve core rotating and contacting the valve inlet, in order to achieve the reliability of closing, there will be a large friction between the valve core and the valve inlet, which will cause wear. As time goes by, the wear will continue to expand, affecting the sealing in the closed state and the reliability of the closing function. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present application provides a switch mechanism and a valve with a simple structure, which can reduce wear and tear and increase product life.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a switch mechanism, comprising:

[0006] A valve core having a sealing surface, an elongated hole and a cam structure, wherein the cam structure has a convex portion;

[0007] A rotating disk is provided with a concave portion, a side wall of the concave portion is provided with an outer convex structure for cooperating with the cam structure, and the rotating disk has a first connecting structure;

[0008] A handle, comprising a second connection structure connected to the first connection structure and a column slidably connected to the elongated hole;

[0009] Among them, when the handle drives the turntable to rotate through the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure, the valve core has a first transmission state in which the turntable rotates, and a second transmission state in which the convex portion abuts against the outer convex structure and slides relatively, and the elongated hole slides relative to the column.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the handle drives the turntable to rotate, the turntable can drive the valve core to rotate together, and can also drive the valve core to move relative to the turntable. This switch mechanism changes the traditional valve's single rotational motion to achieve the valve switch drive structure, and through the combined motion of rotation and movement, it reduces the inevitable wear caused by the single rotation mode. While the structure is simple and the number of parts is small, the service life of the accessories is increased.

[0011] In combination with the first aspect, a further solution is that the cam structure is connected to an elastic member, and the side wall of the turntable is provided with a concave structure for connecting with the elastic member, when the end of the elastic member is located in the concave structure, the valve core and the turntable are in a relatively stable state; when the handle drives the turntable to rotate through the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure, the end of the elastic member has a clutch connection relationship with the concave structure.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic member and the cam structure can be an integrated structure, or they can be designed separately and fixedly connected by assembly. The elastic member is conducive to applying elastic force between the cam structure and the turntable, which can maintain the reliability of the first transmission state when the end of the elastic member is located in the concave structure, increase the resistance of the second transmission state to the first transmission state, and improve the sealing performance, so that the first transmission state and the second transmission state are more reliable and stable.

[0013] In combination with the first aspect, in a further solution, a limiting portion is further provided on the side wall of the recess, and a groove that can accommodate the convex portion is formed between the limiting portion and the external convex structure, and when the convex portion is located in the groove, the end of the elastic member is located in the internal concave structure.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting part can limit the convex part, which is convenient for the installation and positioning of the valve core and the turntable and the transmission of the force between the turntable and the valve core, and is beneficial to the stability of the first transmission state between the valve core and the turntable. The convex part is located in the groove, and the end of the elastic member is located in the concave structure, so that the turntable drives the valve core to rotate synchronously more reliably, and improves a certain degree of anti-rotation resistance.

[0015] In combination with the first aspect, in a further solution, the outer convex structure is provided with a sliding surface, and when the convex portion slides along the sliding surface, the column slides relative to the elongated hole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, in the second transmission state, the valve is closed, and the sliding surface is conducive to reducing the movement resistance. The convex part slides along the sliding surface, so that the valve core and the turntable move relative to each other, and the column slides in the long hole to guide the movement of the valve core relative to the turntable, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the movement.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect, in a further solution, the outer convex structure is further provided with a stabilizing surface connected to the sliding surface, and when the convex portion slides to the stabilizing surface, the valve core and the turntable are in a relatively stable state.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, after the second transmission state ends, the valve is in a closed state, and the stabilizing surface is conducive to the stability of the lifting state, thereby increasing the sealing and reliability of the valve core in the closed state.

[0019] In combination with the first aspect, in a further solution, the convex structure further includes a stopper, and the stopper is located at an end of the stable surface away from the sliding surface.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the stopper can limit the rotational movement of the convex part, thereby improving the accuracy of the position of the valve core in the closed state.

[0021] In a second aspect, the present application provides a valve comprising the switch mechanism as described in the first aspect.

[0022] In combination with the second aspect, a further solution also includes a valve body, which is provided with a cavity for accommodating the valve core and the turntable, the cavity is connected with an inlet and an outlet, and the valve body is also provided with an axial hole pivotally connected to the handle, and a pivot structure rotatably connected to the valve core is connected to the valve body on the side opposite to the axial hole.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the pivot structure is beneficial to the stability of the rotation of the bottom of the valve core, the handle passes through the shaft hole and is connected to the turntable in the cavity, the turntable is connected to the valve core, the handle drives the upper part of the valve core to move through the turntable, and the valve core realizes the connection and shutdown between the valve inlet and outlet by switching the inlet or outlet.

[0024] In combination with the second aspect, a further solution is that, under the drive of the handle, the valve core has a first motion state in which the turntable rotates relative to the valve body, and a second motion state in which the valve core moves relative to the turntable and the sealing surface closes the inlet or outlet.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, in the first motion state, there is less contact between the valve core and the valve body, so the friction is small. The second motion state is the valve closed and sealed state. In this state, the valve core moves relative to the valve body, and the valve core squeezes and seals the valve body, which has relatively small wear. In the first and second motion states, there is little friction between the valve core and the valve body, so the product has a long life and good sealing performance.

[0026] In combination with the second aspect, a further solution is provided, in the first movement state, the end of the elastic member is located in the concave structure; in the second movement state, the end of the elastic member is separated from the concave structure and abuts against the side wall of the turntable, and the convex portion slides along the sliding surface.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic member improves the stability and reliability of the first motion state and the second motion state.

[0028] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] 1. The switch mechanism of the present application reduces the inevitable wear caused by a single rotation mode through the combined motion of rotation and movement. It has a simple structure with fewer parts and improves the life of the accessories.

[0030] 2. The switch mechanism of the present application has a more reliable structure, simpler and more convenient operation, and more stable performance.

[0031] 3. The valve applied for is simple and convenient to operate, the valve opening and closing is more reliable and stable, and the service life is longer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
