DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0020] Example:

[0021] A drain valve with a soft sealing structure, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a valve body 1, a valve stem 2 is inserted into the upper end of the valve body 1, the valve body 1 includes an upper sealing cavity 11, a threaded cavity 12, a lower sealing cavity 13, a water inlet channel 14 and a water inlet interface 15 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, an arc-shaped boss 16 is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the water inlet channel 14, a sealing gasket 4 is provided at the bottom of the valve stem 2, and the sealing gasket 4 is squeezed by the arc-shaped boss 16 to achieve the sealing of the water inlet channel 14.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the valve stem 2 includes a knurled handle 21 , a sealing ring groove 22 , a threaded section 23 and a sealing body 24 which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom.

[0023] In a possible implementation manner, the sealing ring groove 22 is provided in the upper sealing cavity 11 , and the sealing ring 3 is clamped in the sealing ring groove 22 , so that the upper sealing cavity 11 is sealed by the sealing ring 3 .

[0024] In a possible implementation manner, the threaded segment 23 is screwed into the threaded cavity 12 .

[0025] In a possible implementation manner, the sealing body 24 is disposed in the lower sealing cavity 13 , and the sealing gasket 4 is disposed at the bottom of the sealing body 24 .

[0026] In a possible implementation manner, a water outlet interface 5 is further provided on the side of the lower sealed cavity 13 .

[0027] In a possible implementation, the drain valve includes a valve body 1, a valve stem 2, and a water outlet joint 5. The valve body 1 is provided with a lower sealing cavity 13, and a water outlet joint 5 is provided outside the lower sealing cavity 13. The water outlet joint 5 is provided with a threaded structure, and the two are connected by threads + sealant. The valve stem 2 is provided with two sealing structures, radial and end face. The radial seal adopts a sealing ring 3, and the end face seal adopts a sealing gasket 4. The valve stem 2 is connected to the valve body 1 by threads, and the valve is opened and closed by rotating the valve stem 2. The sealing ring 3 plays a sealing role during the opening process, and the liquid is discharged from the water outlet joint 5. The closing is sealed by the end face sealing gasket to block the liquid in the system from flowing into the valve body 1. At the same time, a knurled handle 21 is provided on the top circumference of the valve stem 2 to improve the feel of use.

[0028] Working principle, see Figure 4 The existing technology uses a hard seal structure drain valve, which is prone to leakage and jamming. Figure 1-3 As shown, the sealing ring 3 and the sealing gasket 4 are respectively assembled on the valve stem 2, the valve stem 2 is provided with a threaded section 23, and is connected to the threaded cavity 12 of the valve body 1 through the threaded section 23. The valve body 1 is provided with an upper sealing cavity 11 and a lower sealing cavity 13, and the sealing cavity is provided with an upper and lower sealing structure. The sealing structure of the lower sealing cavity 13 is designed as an arc boss 6. By rotating the valve stem 2, the rectangular sealing gasket 4 is in contact with the arc boss 6, thereby achieving the opening and closing function. When the lower sealing cavity 13 is opened, the liquid in the system flows out from the water outlet joint 5, thereby achieving the function of drainage.

[0029] During use, the valve water inlet interface 15 is connected to the system through threads. When the valve is open, water enters the water inlet interface 15 and water flows out of the water outlet connector 5. When the drainage meets the requirements, the valve stem 2 is screwed to the lower sealing point to realize the valve closing function.

[0030] The soft-sealed drain valve of the present application avoids the problem of getting stuck and improves the reliability of the seal.

[0031] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
