Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum valves, in particular to a tank top assembly vacuum valve. Background Art

[0002] A vacuum valve is a vacuum system component used to change the direction of airflow, adjust the amount of airflow, and cut off or connect pipelines in a vacuum system. The closing part of a vacuum valve is sealed with a rubber seal or a metal seal. The structure of a vacuum valve consists of a valve body, a valve, a seal, and a transmission device. The materials of the valve body and the valve can be selected from different materials according to different usage scenarios. The sealing structure of the vacuum valve is relatively important and needs to ensure efficient sealing in a high vacuum or ultra-high vacuum environment. Its working principle is to pull up or close the valve core to control the circulating gas or liquid. It is usually used in fermentation tanks to prevent negative pressure in the tank body and balance the external air pressure with the internal air pressure.

[0003] At present, a Chinese utility model patent application with a publication date of January 30, 2013 and a publication number of CN202708105U proposes a vacuum valve. The valve body of the vacuum valve is arranged in a spherical structure, which makes the entire vacuum valve more beautiful. Under low temperature conditions, the gas inside the cylinder cavity may freeze and cause the valve flap to be unable to open. At this time, the cylinder cavity can be inflated through an air nozzle to force the valve flap to open;

[0004] However, when the tank top assembly balances the air pressure in the tank, outside air needs to enter the vacuum valve. The factory ambient air will carry dust particles. The dust particles fall onto the contact surface between the valve disc and the valve seat, cushioning the valve disc and creating a gap between the valve disc and the valve body, thus causing the vacuum valve to leak. For this reason, we designed a tank top assembly vacuum valve. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem in the prior art that when the vacuum valve is working, dust particles entrained in the outside air will enter the valve body, causing a gap between the valve disc and the valve body, thereby causing the vacuum valve to leak, and proposes a tank top assembly vacuum valve.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The tank top assembly vacuum valve comprises a valve body and an installation shell connected to the valve body, a valve stem and a valve disc are coaxially arranged in the installation shell, the valve stem and the valve disc are fixedly connected, a sealing gasket is arranged on the inner wall of the valve body, a side of the valve disc close to the valve stem is in contact with the sealing gasket, and a plurality of air inlets are opened on the installation shell.

[0008] When the pressure inside the fermentation tank is much lower than the external air pressure, the external gas enters the installation shell through the air inlet on the installation shell. At this time, the air pressure inside the installation shell is greater than the air pressure inside the valve body. The air pressure inside the installation shell squeezes the valve disc downward to break away from the contact with the sealing gasket, and then enters the fermentation tank through the valve body, balancing the air pressure inside the tank and avoiding damage to the fermentation tank equipment.

[0009] A filter is provided on the air inlet, a mounting plate is coaxially provided on the outer side of the mounting shell, a movable groove is provided between the mounting plate and the mounting shell, a dust cleaning mechanism is provided in the movable groove, and the dust cleaning mechanism is used for automatically removing dust accumulated on the filter to avoid inconvenience for staff to clean the filter due to the high height of the tank body. The operation is simple and convenient, and dust particles are prevented from entering the vacuum valve connecting cavity, thereby improving the service life of the vacuum valve.

[0010] Optionally, the dust cleaning mechanism comprises an electric push rod, a slider and an annular plate, the electric push rod is fixedly mounted on the mounting housing, the output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the slider, and the slider is fixedly connected to the annular plate;

[0011] A brush and a suction pipe, wherein the brush is arranged on a surface of the annular plate close to the filter screen, and the suction pipe is arranged on the side wall of the mounting plate, and the suction pipe is communicated with the movable groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the annular plate is pushed to move on the inner wall of the mounting plate through the output end of the electric push rod. Since a brush is provided on the side of the annular plate close to the filter, and the brush is in contact with the filter, as the annular plate moves in the moving groove of the mounting plate, the dust accumulated on the filter is brushed off to the bottom of the moving groove, thereby preventing dust from accumulating and adhering to the filter and affecting the gas flow of external gas entering the mounting shell. Since dust particles are carried in the ambient air of the factory building, dust particles are prevented from falling on the contact surface of the valve disc and the valve seat, which will cushion the valve disc and cause a gap between the valve disc and the valve body, thereby causing the vacuum valve to leak.

[0013] Optionally, a first sealing rubber pad is provided at a connection between the valve body and the mounting shell, the valve flap is located in the valve body, and a width of the valve flap is greater than a width of a connection between the valve body and the mounting shell.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the valve disc can play a one-way opening and closing role. The gas in the installation shell squeezes the valve disc downward to break away from the contact with the sealing gasket, thereby allowing external gas to enter the valve body and balance the air pressure outside and inside the fermentation tank.

[0015] Optionally, a sliding groove is provided on a surface of the mounting plate close to the mounting shell.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the slider and the slide groove, a limiting effect is achieved on the annular plate, so that the annular plate has only the freedom to move up and down in the moving groove.

[0017] Optionally, the suction pipe is located at the bottom of the movable groove, a connecting pipe is connected to the suction pipe, and an end of the circulation pipe away from the suction pipe is connected to an exhaust fan.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the dust brushed to the bottom of the mobile trough is sucked and adsorbed by the exhaust fan, and the staff does not need to clean the filter again. The operation is simple and convenient, and it is avoided that the staff is inconvenient to clean the filter due to the high height of the tank body, and dust particles are prevented from entering the vacuum valve connecting cavity, thereby increasing the service life of the vacuum valve.

[0019] Optionally, a connecting disk is coaxially provided at one end of the valve body away from the mounting shell, a first connecting pipe is coaxially connected to the connecting disk, a second sealing rubber gasket is provided between the connecting disk and the first connecting pipe, a second connecting pipe and a third connecting pipe are connected to the valve body, and a fourth connecting pipe is connected to the mounting shell.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple connecting pipes are used to connect various pipelines and components. At the same time, solenoid valves are provided on the first connecting pipe, the second connecting pipe, the third connecting pipe and the fourth connecting pipe, which has a wide range of applications.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0022] 1. The utility model uses the cooperation of the filter, electric push rod, annular plate, brush, mobile trough and suction pipe to brush the dust accumulated on the filter to the bottom of the mobile trough. In addition, by connecting the suction pipe to the exhaust fan, the dust falling on the bottom of the mobile trough can be adsorbed through the suction pipe, avoiding the inconvenience of the staff to clean the filter due to the high height of the tank body. The operation is simple and convenient, avoiding the dust particles from entering the vacuum valve connecting cavity, and improving the service life of the vacuum valve.

[0023] 2. In the utility model, when the pressure inside the fermentation tank is much lower than the external air pressure, the external gas enters the installation shell through the air inlet on the installation shell. At this time, the air pressure inside the installation shell is greater than the air pressure inside the valve body. The air pressure inside the installation shell squeezes the valve disc downward to break away from the contact with the sealing gasket, and then enters the fermentation tank through the valve body, balancing the air pressure inside the tank and avoiding damage to the fermentation tank equipment.

The brush 12 is arranged on the side of the annular plate 11 close to the filter 6. The suction pipe 13 is arranged on the side wall of the mounting plate 7. The suction pipe 13 is connected to the movable groove. The annular plate 11 is pushed to move on the inner wall of the mounting plate 7 by the output end of the electric push rod 9. Since the brush 12 is arranged on the side of the annular plate 11 close to the filter 6, and the brush 12 is in contact with the filter 6, as the annular plate 11 moves in the movable groove of the mounting plate 7, the dust accumulated on the filter 6 is brushed off to the bottom of the movable groove to prevent the dust from accumulating and adhering to the filter 6.
