[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this embodiment provides a gas meter on-off control valve, including a valve body 1, a valve core 2, a transmission rod 3 and a driver 4. The driver 4 can select a rotary driver such as a drive motor and a rotary cylinder according to actual conditions. In this embodiment, a drive motor is preferred. The valve body 1 is provided with a valve cavity 5 and an air inlet 6 and an air outlet 7 connected to the valve cavity 5. The inner wall of the valve body 1 is provided with a valve seat portion 8 in the valve cavity 5, and the valve seat portion 8 is located between the air inlet 6 and the air outlet 7. Secondly, the air inlet 6 can be multiple and arranged along the circumferential side wall of the valve body 1, which can adapt to more working conditions.

[0036] The valve core 2 is arranged to move axially along the valve cavity 5, and has a closed state in contact with the valve seat portion 8 and an open state separated from the valve seat portion 8. The driver 4 switches the valve core 2 between the closed state and the open state through the transmission rod 3. A transmission assembly is arranged between the transmission rod 3 and the driver 4, and the transmission assembly includes: a gear 9, a gear plate 10 and a linkage plate portion 15. The gear 9 is driven to rotate by the driver 4, that is, connected to the output shaft of the driver 4; the gear plate 10 is provided with an inner tooth portion 11 meshing with the gear 9 on the side facing the gear 9, and a linkage groove 12 is provided on the side away from the gear 9, the circumferential inner wall of the linkage groove 12 is provided with a linkage area 13, and the notch end of the linkage groove 12 is provided with a flange portion 1 4; the linkage disk portion 15 is arranged on the transmission rod 3 and is rotatably arranged relative to the linkage groove 12, and a mounting hole 16 is radially provided on the linkage disk portion 15; a spring 17, and the spring 17 is arranged in the mounting hole 16; two balls 18, and the two balls 18 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the spring 17, and under the action of the spring 17, the balls 18 abut against the linkage area 13; when the valve core 2 moves normally in the axial direction of the valve cavity 5, the balls 18 abut against the linkage area 13 so that the linkage disk portion 15 rotates with the gear plate 10; when the movement of the valve core 2 in the axial direction of the valve cavity 5 is limited and the driver 4 continues to drive, the balls 18 slip in the linkage area 13 so that the gear plate 10 idles. Through the above arrangement, the valve has the function of preventing the motor from being blocked and avoiding the driver 4 from being overloaded or overloaded.

[0037] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly also includes a gear cover 19, and the gear cover 19 includes: a main board body 191 and a plurality of elastic clamping arms 21. It should be understood that the plurality is at least two. The main board body 191 is provided with a first through hole 20 for one end of the transmission rod 3 to pass through. The inner diameter of the first through hole 20 is smaller than the outer diameter of the linkage disk portion 15; that is, the linkage disk portion 15 cannot pass through the first through hole 20.

[0038] The plurality of clamping arms 21 are circumferentially spaced at the edge of the main body 191, which can also be understood as being spaced circumferentially along the outer side of the first through hole 20. In this embodiment, four clamping arms 21 are preferably provided, and the intervals between adjacent clamping arms 21 should not be too large to ensure the connection strength between the clamping arms 21 and the gear plate 10. Secondly, a protrusion 22 is provided on the inner wall of the clamping arm 21, and the flange 14 is clamped between the protrusion 22 and the main body 191 so that the linkage disk portion 15 is limited in the linkage groove 12 by the main body 191.

[0039] Through the above arrangement, the gear cover 19 is clamped with the flange 14 of the gear plate 10 through the elastic clamping arm 21, and the overall disassembly and assembly are convenient, which is conducive to the repair and maintenance of the transmission assembly. At the same time, the connection strength between the transmission rod 3 and the gear plate 10 is ensured, and the transmission rod 3 is prevented from falling out of the gear plate 10 due to the vibration generated when the motor is running.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, the side of the protrusion portion 22 facing the inner tooth portion 11 is provided with a first inclined surface 23 and a second inclined surface 24 with the same slope, and the side facing the flange portion 14 is provided with a third inclined surface 25, the slope of the third inclined surface 25 is opposite to the slope of the first inclined surface 23, and the side of the first inclined surface 23 close to the flange portion 14 is inclined toward the inside of the main board body 191.

[0041] Furthermore, the slope of the first inclined surface 23 is greater than the slope of the second inclined surface 24 , so that the gear plate 10 can be inserted into each clamping arm 21 more smoothly, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0042] Secondly, the slope of the first bevel 23 is greater than the slope of the third bevel 25 . Under correct circumstances, the difficulty of disassembly is greater than the difficulty of installation, which can also improve the connection strength between the gear plate 10 and the gear cover 19 .

[0043] Secondly, the second bevel 24 is located on the side close to the inner tooth portion 11, and its slope length is greater than the slope length of the first bevel 23. One side of the second bevel 24 extends to the end of the clamping arm 21, which can reduce the area of ​​the end of the clamping arm 21, save the material of the gear plate 10, and reduce the contact area between the clamping arm 21 and the gear plate 10.

[0044] The linkage area 13 includes at least two abutment areas 26 with different inner diameters. A transition slope 27 is provided between adjacent abutment areas 26 with different inner diameters. In this embodiment, four abutment areas are provided in a cross shape, wherein every two abutment areas 26 have the same inner diameter.

[0045] Furthermore, it also includes a base 28 connected to the valve body 1, and a transmission chamber 29 connected to the valve chamber 5 is provided on the base 28. The valve core 2 isolates the valve chamber 5 from the transmission chamber 29 to prevent the medium from entering the transmission chamber 29, thereby extending the service life of the valve.

[0046] Furthermore, the valve core 2 includes: a sealing portion 30, a telescopic portion 31 and a positioning portion 32. The sealing portion 30 is used to form a sealing match with the valve seat portion 8. In this embodiment, the sealing portion 30 is a conical surface. When it is pressed against the valve seat portion 8, the formed seal is more reliable. The sealing portion 30 is arranged to move along the axial direction of the valve cavity 5, and has a closed state in contact with the valve seat portion 8 and an open state separated from the valve seat portion 8; the telescopic portion 31 can be telescoped along the axial direction of the valve cavity 5; the telescopic portion 31 is made of elastic material. In this embodiment, the cross section of the telescopic portion 31 is in a continuous step shape. When the sealing portion 30 moves, the telescopic portion 31 will be compressed or stretched accordingly.

[0047] The positioning portion 32 is clamped between the machine base 28 and the valve body 1 .

[0048] It also includes a positioning plate 33, which is arranged at the connection between the machine base 28 and the valve body 1, and clamps the positioning part 32 with the machine base 28 and the valve body 1. The positioning plate 33 is provided with a second through hole 34 for the transmission rod 3 to pass through. The positioning plate 33 improves the stability of the valve core 2 during operation, thereby improving the reliability of the valve.
