[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4, a combined air intake valve with an air path switching function provided by an embodiment of the utility model comprises an air intake valve 01, a vent valve 02 and an air path switching mechanism, wherein: the air intake valve 01 comprises a butterfly plate 2 arranged inside a valve body 1 of the air intake valve, the butterfly plate 2 is sleeved on a butterfly plate shaft 3, the butterfly plate shaft 3 is provided with an axial hole in the middle, and radial holes in the length direction, the radial holes are connected with the axial holes, a butterfly plate air hole 201 is provided on the butterfly plate 2, the butterfly plate air hole 201 is connected to the atmosphere, and the axial hole, the radial hole and the butterfly plate air hole 201 are connected with each other; the valve body of the vent valve 02 is fixedly connected to the valve body 1 of the air intake valve, and the vent valve 02 is connected to the valve body 1 of the air intake valve. The valve 02 and the intake valve 01 are designed with separate structures to achieve the purpose of isolating high temperature; the air circuit switching mechanism includes an oil cylinder 19, a sleeve seat 10 and a sleeve 8, the sleeve seat 10 is fixed to the outside of the valve body 1 of the intake valve, the sleeve 8 is arranged inside the sleeve seat 10, and the sleeve 8 is provided with a hole, the end of the butterfly plate shaft 3 passes through the sleeve 8, and the radial hole on the butterfly plate shaft 3 is basically aligned with the hole on the sleeve 8 during installation, the sleeve 8 is connected to the piston of the vent valve 02 through the air pipe 18, and the end of the butterfly plate shaft 3 is connected to the oil cylinder 19, and the oil cylinder 19 controls the rotation of the butterfly plate shaft 3 to achieve alignment or staggered alignment of the radial hole with the hole on the sleeve 8. The air circuit switching mechanism is arranged at the outer end of the butterfly plate shaft 3 of the intake valve 01, one end of which is connected to the piston of the vent valve 02 through the air pipe 18, and the other end is connected to the atmosphere through the radial holes, axial holes and butterfly plate air holes 201 on the butterfly plate shaft 3. The air circuit switching mechanism is arranged on the intake valve 01, and the opening and closing of the air circuit is controlled by the rotation of the butterfly plate shaft 3, so that the vent valve 02 can be controlled individually and opened for rapid deflation.

[0029] In order to achieve a stable connection between the vent valve 02 and the intake valve 01, in some embodiments, the valve body 1 of the intake valve is fixedly connected to the valve body of the vent valve by a flange, and the valve body 1 of the intake valve and the valve body of the vent valve can be made of different materials, which can greatly reduce heat conduction, so that the high temperature at the vent valve 02 will not affect other parts of the intake valve. In some other embodiments, the vent valve 02 and the intake valve 01 can be installed separately at different positions of the air compressor and controlled through a longer air pipe.

[0030] In order to control the rotation of the butterfly plate shaft 3, in some embodiments, when the cylinder 19 is fully opened, the butterfly plate 2 can be rotated about 80°, and the air intake volume of the intake valve 01 can reach the maximum; the opening pressure and full opening pressure of the cylinder 19 can be designed and changed according to actual requirements.

[0031] In some embodiments, the gas circuit switching mechanism also includes a cylinder fixing plate 17 for fixing the cylinder 19. The cylinder fixing plate 17 is connected to the outside of the valve body 1 of the air intake valve. A cylinder bracket 20 is provided on the cylinder fixing plate 17. The cylinder 19 is fixed on the cylinder bracket 20. The cylinder 19 is supported by the cylinder bracket 20 to ensure that the cylinder 19 remains stable during operation.

[0032] In some embodiments, the butterfly plate shaft 3 is connected to the oil cylinder 19 through the lever 13 and the fisheye joint 16, and is fixed by the locking screw 14. Specifically, one end of the lever 13 is connected to the butterfly plate shaft 3 and is locked and fixed by the locking screw 14; the other end of the lever 13 is connected to the fisheye joint 16 through a short shaft, the short shaft is fixed to the lever 3, and an elastic retaining ring is used to prevent the fisheye joint 16 from falling off. This connection structure enables the butterfly plate shaft 3 to rotate more flexibly under the control of the oil cylinder 19. Under load, the time from opening to fully opening of the butterfly plate 2 is no more than 4 seconds.

[0033] The rotation of the butterfly plate shaft 3 is controlled by the oil cylinder 19, and the rotation of the butterfly plate shaft 3 drives the butterfly plate 2 to open and close. When the butterfly plate 2 is opened, there is a gap between it and the inner wall of the intake valve body. The opening gap of the butterfly plate 2 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in S, when the opening clearance S of the butterfly plate 2 is 0, the intake valve 01 is completely closed, and the gas cannot enter the air compressor through the intake valve 01; by setting the opening clearance S of the butterfly plate 2, the initial air intake of the air compressor can be controlled by the size of the opening clearance S of the butterfly plate 2. In some embodiments, a butterfly plate clearance adjustment screw 15 is provided at the lever 13, and the butterfly plate clearance adjustment screw 15 is used to adjust the opening clearance of the butterfly plate 2. Specifically, the butterfly plate clearance adjustment screw 15 is installed on the side of the lever 13. When the oil cylinder 19 is closed, one end of the butterfly plate clearance adjustment screw 15 is against the oil cylinder bracket 20. By adjusting the length of the extension, the angle of the initial position of the lever 13 is adjusted, and then the lever 13 drives the butterfly plate shaft 3 to rotate a certain angle to control the size of the opening clearance S of the butterfly plate 2, so that the butterfly plate 2 cannot be completely closed, and the initial air intake of the intake valve 01 is ensured to meet the needs of the air compressor.

[0034] In some embodiments, one end of the butterfly plate shaft 3 is fixed to the butterfly plate 2 by glue and installed on the valve body 1 of the intake valve through a bearing 4 to facilitate the rotation of the butterfly plate shaft 3, and the other end of the butterfly plate shaft 3 is fixed to the lever 13 by a locking screw 14.

[0035] In some embodiments, the sleeve 8 is fixed to the valve body 1 of the intake valve through the sleeve seat 10, and the sleeve seat 10 is fixed by the sleeve seat fixing screw 11. A small bearing 9 is provided on the sleeve seat 10, and the small bearing 9 is used to support the butterfly plate shaft 3 and prevent dust from entering the sleeve seat 10.

[0036] In some embodiments, a joint 5 is provided on the sleeve seat 10, and one end of the joint 5 is pressed against the sleeve 8, so that the sleeve 8 cannot rotate. The air hole on the butterfly plate shaft 3 leads to the air pipe 18 through the sleeve 8 and the joint 5. The joint 5 is locked by a locking nut 6 to prevent the joint 5 from loosening. An O-ring 7 is provided between the joint 5 and the sleeve 8 to prevent gas leakage.

[0037] In some embodiments, an air pipe connector 12 is provided at one end of the air pipe 18 away from the vent valve 02 , and the air pipe connector 12 is mounted on the connector 5 .

[0038] To facilitate valve installation, in some embodiments, a hole is opened on the top of the valve body 1 of the intake valve to form a lifting hole 21. When installing, repairing, replacing or moving the valve, the valve can be conveniently lifted using lifting equipment through the lifting hole 21.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 The combined air intake valve in the above embodiment of the utility model has the following working process:

[0040] When the oil cylinder 19 is turned on, it drives the butterfly plate shaft 3 to rotate, so that the butterfly plate 2 is opened. Specifically, the oil cylinder 19 drives the lever 13 to rotate counterclockwise, and the lever 13 drives the butterfly plate shaft 3 to rotate, so that the butterfly plate 2 is opened. At this time, the radial holes on the butterfly plate shaft 3 and the holes on the sleeve 8 are misaligned, and the air path between the butterfly plate air hole 201 and the vent valve 02 is blocked. After the vent valve 02 control end is inflated, the vent valve 02 is closed.

[0041] When the oil cylinder 19 is closed, it drives the butterfly plate shaft 3 to rotate, so that the butterfly plate 2 is closed. Specifically, the oil cylinder 19 drives the lever 13 to rotate clockwise, and the lever 13 drives the butterfly plate shaft 3 to rotate and reset, and the butterfly plate 2 is closed. At this time, the radial hole on the butterfly plate shaft 3 is aligned with the hole on the sleeve 8, the butterfly plate air hole 201 is connected with the air path of the vent valve 02, and the air at the control end of the vent valve 02 is discharged from the butterfly plate air hole 201, and the vent valve 02 is opened.

[0042] The above is the entire process of gas circuit switching. By opening and closing the oil cylinder 19, the closing and opening of the vent valve 02 can be quickly achieved.

[0043] Another embodiment of the utility model provides an air compressor, which includes the above-mentioned combined air intake valve with air path switching function. Due to the above-mentioned technical effects of the combined air intake valve, the air compressor also has the same technical effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0044] The combined air intake valve and air compressor provided in the above-mentioned embodiments of the utility model can isolate the high-temperature gas at the vent valve and avoid its influence on the intake valve through the separate design structure of the vent valve and the intake valve; an air circuit switching mechanism is provided on the intake valve to connect the vent valve, the vent valve can be controlled separately through the air circuit switching mechanism, and the vent valve can be quickly opened for air release, thereby improving the working efficiency of the vent valve.

[0045] The above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications or variations within the scope of the claims, which does not affect the essence of the present invention.
