Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline accessories, in particular to a universal angle valve. Background Art

[0002] Angle valve is an angle stop valve. It is named because the inlet and outlet of the angle valve are at a 90° right angle. It is a commonly used pipe fitting that mainly serves to connect the internal and external water outlets and regulate water pressure.

[0003] At present, most common angle valves are integrated structures, and the position between the water inlet and the water outlet is not adjustable. When the angle valve is installed on the pre-buried pipe in the wall, the water outlet of the angle valve can only face one direction, and it is difficult to ensure that the water outlet and the connecting pipe are in the same direction, which makes installation and connection difficult. At this time, the angle valve can only be removed and reinstalled, but it is still difficult to predict the final direction of the water outlet during the installation and screwing process, which not only reduces the installation efficiency of the angle valve and increases the difficulty of installing the angle valve, but also repeatedly disassembling and assembling may damage the connected pipes. If the direction of the water outlet of the angle valve is not adjusted and a hose is used for connection, the hose will be bent for a long time, which is still easy to affect the service life of the hose.

[0004] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the utility model provides a universal angle valve 100 , including a valve body 110 , a valve core 120 , an adjustment assembly 130 , a connecting pipe 140 , a sealing member 150 and a locking member 160 .

[0038] The valve body 110 is hollow inside and contains a valve core 120 . The valve core 120 can control the opening and closing of the water flow in the angle valve.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 Cooperate Figure 4 The valve body 110 has three openings in different directions, which are a water inlet 111, a water outlet 112 and a control port 113. The water inlet 111 and the water outlet 112 are 90 degrees apart. In the present embodiment, the water inlet 111 is coaxial with the control port 113. The regulating component 130 is connected with the control port 113 of the valve body 110 and closes the control port 113. The regulating component 130 is connected with the valve core 120 and is configured to control the opening and closing of the water path in the valve core 120.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjustment assembly 130 includes a handwheel 131, a screw 132 and a bushing 133. The bushing 133 is sleeved on one end of the valve core 120, and an opening for passing the screw 132 is opened on the bushing 133. The screw 132 passes through the opening on the bushing 133 and is fixedly connected to one end of the valve core 120. The handwheel 131 is sleeved on the surface of the valve core 120 and the bushing 133, and is fixedly connected to the valve body 110.

[0041] Therefore, the opening and closing of the valve core 120 and the water flow rate in the valve core 120 can be controlled by the hand wheel 131 to adjust the water flow rate of the angle valve.

[0042] In this embodiment, the structures of the valve core 120 and the hand wheel 131 are not limited as long as the angle valve can be used to discharge water. For example, the valve core 120 may be a push-type water outlet valve core 120 or a screw-type water outlet valve core 120 .

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 Cooperate Figure 4 A connecting section 114 is provided at one end of the water inlet 111 of the valve body 110 . In the present embodiment, the water inlet 111 is coaxial with the control port 113 . Therefore, the connecting section 114 is located at the end of the valve body 110 away from the regulating assembly 130 .

[0044] The connecting section 114 is provided with a sealing groove 1141, and the sealing member 150 is accommodated in the sealing groove 1141. In this embodiment, there are two sealing members 150, and there are two sealing grooves 1141 on the connecting section 114 of the valve body 110, and the two sealing members 150 are respectively accommodated in the two sealing grooves 1141 to improve the sealing effect.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 5 The interior of the connecting piece 140 is hollow, and a limiting portion 141 is provided on the inner wall surface of the connecting piece 140. The limiting portion 141 is an annular boss protruding from the inner wall surface of the connecting piece 140. The connecting section 114 is accommodated in the connecting piece 140 and limited by the limiting portion 141, that is, the connecting section 114 is in contact with one of the surfaces of the limiting portion 141.

[0046] Since the sealing member 150 is accommodated in the sealing groove 1141 on the connecting section 114 , when the connecting section 114 is accommodated in the connecting pipe 140 , the connecting section 114 and the connecting pipe 140 are sealed by the sealing member 150 .

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 The locking member 160 is configured to lock the connecting member 140 and the valve body 110. Therefore, it can be understood that the locking portion 163 is installed at one end of the water inlet 111 of the valve body 110. Therefore, in order to ensure that the valve body 110 can normally take in water, the locking member 160 is also a hollow structure inside.

[0048] The locking member 160 includes a locking seat 161 and a protrusion 162. One end of the protrusion 162 is integrally formed with the locking seat 161. The outer diameter of the locking seat 161 is larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion 162. Therefore, the locking seat 161 can be used for limiting. Since the connecting pipe 140 is provided with a limiting portion 141 for limiting the valve body 110, and the limiting portion 141 is an annular protrusion, when the protrusion 162 of the locking member 160 is fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the connecting section 114 of the valve body 110 in the connecting pipe 140, the locking seat 161 is limited by the limiting portion 141 of the connecting pipe 140.

[0049] In this embodiment, the structure of the inner surface of the protrusion 162 is cylindrical, and the inner surface of the protrusion 162 is provided with six triangular prism-shaped protrusions arranged at intervals to form a locking portion 163, so that the inner surface of the protrusion 162 forms an inner hexagon, which is convenient for adjusting the locking degree of the locking portion 163 and the valve body 110.

[0050] In other embodiments, the locking portion 163 may also be other structures, for example, the structure of the inner surface of the protrusion 162 is a hexagonal prism.

[0051] In this embodiment, in order to ensure a tight connection between the locking piece 160 and the valve body 110, the inner surface of the connecting section 114 of the valve body 110 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer surface of the protrusion 162 of the locking piece 160 is provided with an external thread, and the protrusion 162 is threadedly connected to the connecting section 114, so that the valve body 110 and the locking piece 160 are threadedly connected.

[0052] Through the hexagonal structure of the locking portion 163, the locking member 160 and the valve body 110 can be tightly connected using a wrench on the inner surface of the locking portion 163. The locking member 160 and the valve body 110 are both limited and tightly installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the limiting portion 141 of the connecting pipe 140.

[0053] In order to further ensure the tight connection between the locking member 160 and the connecting section 114 of the valve body 110, after the locking member 160 and the valve body 110 are locked, an adhesive is injected into the connection between the locking member 160 and the valve body 110. The adhesive can be anaerobic adhesive or other materials.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 7 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the universal angle valve 100 further includes an identification ring 170, and an identification ring step 1142 is provided on the connecting section 114 of the valve body 110, the identification ring step 1142 is located at one end of the connecting section 114 close to the adjusting assembly 130, the sealing groove 1141 is located at one end of the connecting section 114 close to the connecting pipe 140, and the identification ring 170 is accommodated in the identification ring step 1142.

[0055] When the connecting section 114 of the valve body 110 is accommodated in the connecting pipe 140, the valve body 110 and the connecting pipe 140 can be buffered by the marking ring 170 to prevent the stress between the valve body 110 and the connecting pipe 140 from being too large during the locking process of the locking member 160, thereby causing damage to the universal angle valve 100. In addition, the marking ring 170 can also be used as an identification structure for water outlet. For example, the marking ring 170 is a mixed color of red and blue, and the color of the marking ring 170 can be used to determine whether the outlet water is hot water or cold water.

[0056] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the identification ring 170 has both a buffering effect and a hot and cold water identification effect, the material of the identification ring 170 is PE material, which gives the identification ring 170 better elasticity and flexibility, and is easy to dye and color.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the universal angle valve 100 further includes a decorative cover 180 , and a decorative cover 180 limiting portion 141 is provided on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 140 . The decorative cover 180 is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 140 and is limited by the decorative cover 180 limiting portion 141 .

[0058] The installation process and working principle of a universal angle valve 100 provided in this embodiment are as follows:

[0059] Please refer to Figure 2 to Figure 6 The valve core 120 is installed in the valve body 110, and a sleeve 133 is sleeved on one end of the valve core 120 away from the water inlet 111 of the valve body 110. The sleeve 133 is fixedly connected to the valve core 120 by a screw 132. The handwheel 131 is sleeved on the surface of the valve core 120 and the sleeve 133, and blocks the control port 113 of the valve body 110.

[0060] The identification ring 170 is sleeved on the identification ring step 1142 on the connecting section 114 on the water inlet 111 of the valve body 110, and the two sealing members 150 are respectively accommodated in the two sealing grooves 1141 of the connecting section 114. Then, the connecting section 114 of the valve body 110 is installed in the inner cavity of the connecting pipe 140 and is limited by the limiting portion 141 of the connecting pipe 140. The two sealing rings realize a double sealing effect between the valve body 110 and the connecting pipe 140.

[0061] The locking piece 160 is put into the connecting piece 140 from the side of the connecting piece 140 away from the valve body 110, and is limited at the limiting portion 141, and the external thread on the surface of the raised portion 162 of the locking piece 160 is matched with the internal thread of the connecting section 114 of the valve body 110. A wrench can enter the inner wall surface of the raised portion 162 of the locking piece 160 from the side of the connecting piece 140 away from the valve body 110, and cooperate with the hexagonal inner wall surface of the raised portion 162 to tighten the locking piece 160 and the valve body 110 to prevent leakage.

[0062] Connect the connecting piece 140 to the external water inlet pipe. In the installed universal angle valve 100, the valve body 110 and the locking piece 160 can rotate 360° relative to the connecting piece 140. Therefore, the direction of the water outlet 112 of the valve body 110 can be determined according to the actual situation. Since there are two sealing members 150 between the connecting piece 140 and the valve body 110, the connecting piece 140 and the valve body 110 will only rotate when they are subjected to force. When no force is applied to the valve body 110, the valve body 110 and the connecting piece 140 are sealed by the sealing member 150 to prevent leakage, thereby ensuring the normal use of the angle valve. At the same time, the angle valve is given the ability to turn 360°, which can adapt to a variety of installation scenarios.

[0063] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
