[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1~Figure 5 As shown: an integrated zero-resistance check valve with shutoff function, including a valve body 1, a gear slot 2, a main gear 3 and a slave gear 4. The main structure of the valve body 1 is rectangular, and the interfaces 11 extending from both ends are circular. The overall design adopts a transition structure of round heaven and square earth, so that when the fluid flows through the inside of the valve body, the cross-sectional area increases, and zero resistance can be achieved.

[0026] In this embodiment, a valve frame 5 is provided in the main body cavity of the valve body 1, a rotating shaft 6 is fixed on the valve frame 5, and a movable baffle 7 is hinged to the rotating shaft 6 and can be turned over within a range of 180° along the rotating shaft 6. Based on fluid dynamics and gravity, when the fluid flows in one direction, the movable baffle 7 opens under the pressure of the fluid to allow the fluid to pass; and when the fluid flows in the reverse direction, the movable baffle 7 closes under the pressure of the fluid and its own gravity, thereby preventing the fluid from flowing in the reverse direction to play a check function. The fluid flow direction in the valve body 1 is in the same direction, and the flow direction of the fluid will not be changed.

[0027] In this embodiment, the gear groove 2 is provided on one side of the valve frame 5, and the upper end of the gear groove 2 is fixedly connected to the valve body 1. That is, a certain space is left between the valve frame and the inner wall of the valve body to facilitate the arrangement of the gear groove. The gear groove 2 is a semicircular arc structure, wherein the inner wall of the gear groove 2 is provided with a groove 21 for accommodating the slave gear, and in addition, a slit 22 is provided on the groove of the gear groove, and a plurality of balls 23 are connected in the slit 22. The slave gear 4 is an arc structure, and the arc length is 1 / 2 of the arc length of the gear groove, which is also equivalent to 1 / 4 of the arc length of the whole circle. The slave gear 4 is adapted to be connected with the groove 21 and can move along the balls 23 in the groove 21. The reason why the arc length of the slave gear 4 is designed to be 1 / 2 of the arc length of the gear groove is that the slave gear 4 can move from one side of the gear groove 2 to the other side under the drive of the master gear 3, that is, from 1 / 2 of the groove 21 to the other 1 / 2 of the groove 21. During the movement of the slave gear 4, the slave gear 4 is in rolling contact with the ball 23 thereunder to reduce the frictional force of the slave gear sliding.

[0028] In this embodiment, the outer teeth of the master gear 3 mesh with the inner teeth of the slave gear 4, that is, the master gear 3 is located in the gear groove 2, and the master gear 3 is located in the middle of the gear groove 2, that is, at the lowest point of the semicircular arc, and meshes with the end of the slave gear there. The valve body 1 is provided with a connecting hole 12 at a position opposite to the central hole of the master gear, so that the rocker 8 located outside the valve body is connected to the master gear 3 located in the valve body through the connecting hole 12. By manually rotating the rocker 8, the master gear 3 can drive the slave gear 4 to move toward the other 1 / 2 groove of the gear groove 2.

[0029] It is understandable that the rocker in this embodiment may also be replaced by an electric drive, such as providing a motor to drive the main gear to rotate.

[0030] In the present embodiment, one of the two side walls corresponding to the gap 22 on the groove of the gear groove is provided with an arc-shaped groove 24 along the arc length direction of the gear groove, and the arc length of the arc-shaped groove 24 is 2 / 3 of the full circle. The ball 23 is placed in the arc-shaped groove 24, and by setting the arc length of the arc-shaped groove 24, the ball 23 can be prevented from moving out of the arc-shaped groove 24.

[0031] In this embodiment, the slave gear 4 is provided with a stopper 9 extending outward at the end away from the master gear 3, and the stopper 9 is in an L-shaped structure. The stopper 9 is used to limit the maximum opening of the movable baffle 7. When the movable baffle 7 is opened to the maximum, it will be blocked by the stopper 0. Therefore, the stopper 0 of this embodiment extends in the direction of opening of the movable baffle 7, and the side thereof that blocks the movable baffle 7 is set at 90 degrees to the slave gear 4. In addition to blocking the movable baffle, the stopper 9 also has the function of completely shutting off the movable baffle 7 under the drive of the slave gear 4. That is, after the movable baffle 7 is opened, in order to prevent the movable baffle 7 from not being completely closed when closing under the pressure of the fluid and its own gravity, the rocker 8 is manually rotated to make the driving wheel 3 drive the slave gear 4 to move toward the other 1 / 2 groove of the gear groove 2. At this time, the slave gear 4 will drive the block 9 to move in the direction of closing the movable baffle 7. When the slave gear 4 moves to the other 1 / 2 groove of the gear groove 2 and cannot move any further, the moving distance can just ensure that the block 9 drives the movable baffle 7 to move to the completely closed position, thereby achieving the purpose of closing.

[0032] In this embodiment, the design of the check valve can meet the installation requirements of horizontal and vertical pipelines. Considering the relationship between the opening and closing of the movable baffle and its own gravity, it is preferred to install the check valve horizontally to achieve a zero resistance effect.

[0033] In summary, compared with the traditional lift check valve, the check valve of this embodiment does not change the flow direction of the fluid, so the resistance coefficient can be infinitely close to zero; compared with the traditional plate check valve, it does not reduce the cross-sectional area of ​​the movable baffle, and even increases the cross-sectional area when flowing through the valve body, so the resistance coefficient can be infinitely close to zero. At the same time, the valve has a shut-off function, and there is no need to set up an additional shut-off valve, which greatly reduces the resistance coefficient in the pipeline and the difficulty of construction.
