Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air volume valves, in particular to a self-adaptive air volume valve. Background Art

[0002] The constant air volume valve is a mechanical self-powered device suitable for ventilation and air conditioning systems that require constant air volume. The constant air volume valve does not require external power to control the air volume. It relies on the air flow force in the air duct to locate the control valve position, thereby maintaining the air flow at a preset flow rate within the entire pressure difference range.

[0003] Constant air volume valves are increasingly used in HVAC projects at home and abroad because they can automatically adjust the air volume passing through the air duct. Currently, mainstream manufacturers all use the cam + airbag constant air volume valve structure solution, but this solution has the disadvantages of a narrow application range and is not suitable for harsh working conditions such as high temperature, which limits some applications.

[0004] And because the constant air volume valve needs to be adjusted normally under higher wind speed conditions, the mainstream constant air volume valves on the market currently have a reduced valve body cross-section to increase the wind speed. The air duct needs to be necked when connected to the constant air volume valve, which takes up a large installation space and is inconvenient to use in many occasions. Utility Model Content

[0032] In this embodiment, three fixing rods 8 are provided, the sleeve 10 is a circular sleeve 10, and the three fixing rods 8 are connected to the valve body 3 and the circular sleeve 10 by welding.

[0033] A main shaft 7 is fitted inside the sleeve 10, and an external thread is provided on the circumferential surface of the main shaft 7 close to the sleeve 10. Furthermore, an internal thread matched with the external thread of the main shaft 7 is provided inside the sleeve 10, and a locking nut 4 is threadedly connected to the external thread of the main shaft 7, and the locking nut 4 is provided at the outer end of the sleeve 10; the use of the locking nut 4 ensures the fixation of the main shaft 7 and is used to prevent safety problems caused by loosening of the main shaft 7.

[0034] A fixed end 1 is installed at the end of the main shaft 7 away from the sleeve 10. The fixed end 1 is arranged in a circular shape. A rotation groove 11 is provided on the circumferential surface of the fixed end 1. A bearing 12 is rotatably provided in the rotation groove 11. Two symmetrically arranged sliding rods 13 are fixed on the outer circumferential surface of the bearing 12. Two symmetrically arranged sliding grooves slidably connected to the two sliding rods 13 are horizontally provided on the inner wall of the valve body 3. The setting of the sliding rod 13 supports the fixed end 1. By providing support to the main shaft 7 together with the sleeve 10, the shaking or vibration caused by fixing only one end can be reduced, which helps to maintain the stability of the main shaft 7.

[0035] An adaption block 6 is connected between the fixed end 1 and the sleeve 10 and is slidably arranged on the circumferential surface of the main shaft 7. A center hole is arranged in the middle of the adaption block 6. The adaption block 6 is sleeved on the main shaft 7 through the center hole and is slidably connected thereto.

[0036] In this embodiment, a side surface of the adaptation block 6 close to the fixed end 1 is set as an arcuate spherical surface or a conical surface recessed toward the fixed end 1, an adaptive spring 2 is arranged between the adaptation block 6 and the fixed end 1, and the adaptive spring 2 is wound around the circumferential surface of the main shaft 7; a side surface of the adaptation block 6 close to the sleeve 10 is set as an arcuate spherical surface or a conical surface recessed toward the sleeve 10.

[0037] Furthermore, a baffle 5 is provided on the inner wall of the valve body 3, and the baffle 5 is provided on the side of the adaptation block 6 close to the fixed end 1, and an air hole is provided on the side of the baffle 5, and the aperture of the air hole is smaller than the outermost dimension of the adaptation block 6;

[0038] Furthermore, flanges 9 are provided on both side end surfaces of the valve body 3 , and the provision of the flanges 9 facilitates the connection of both ends of the valve body 3 with the air duct.

[0039] The working principle and beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0040] The utility model can realize the function of automatically adjusting the air volume, specifically, by rotating the fixed end 1 to rotate the main shaft 7, setting the initial distance between the baffle 5 and the adaptation block 6, and tightening the locking nut 4, at this time the air volume of the air valve is the preset air volume of the air valve, the pressure of the air flow acting on the adaptation block 6 will make the adaptive spring 2 maintain a suitable compression amount, the distance between the adaptation block 6 and the baffle 5 maintains the flow area, so that the air volume passing through the air hole of the baffle 5 is the preset value;

[0041] When the air volume is greater than the set value (static pressure is too high), the pressure of the airflow on the adaptation block 6 will increase, pushing the adaptation block 6 to one side of the adaptive spring 2, so that the compression of the adaptive spring 2 is greater than the previously set value. At the same time, the distance between the adaptation block 6 and the air outlet of the baffle 5 is reduced, the air flow area is reduced, the local resistance is increased, and the excessive static pressure is offset, so that the air volume behind the adaptation block 6 is maintained at the original set air volume.

[0042] When the air volume is less than the set value (static pressure is too small), the pressure of the airflow on the adaptation block 6 will decrease, and the adaptive spring 2 will push the adaptation block 6 to move to one side of the sleeve 10, while increasing the distance between the adaptation block 6 and the air outlet of the baffle 5, thereby increasing the air flow area, reducing local resistance, and compensating for the static pressure of the pipeline, thereby maintaining the originally set air volume.

[0043] The utility model adopts a new air volume balance mode, cancels the cam + airbag actuator, adopts the adaptive block 6 + adaptive spring 2 actuator, simplifies the valve body 3 structure, reduces the manufacturing cost of the constant air volume valve, and at the same time, the new air valve mechanism has high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance that are much higher than the traditional constant air volume valve of the cam + airbag structure, which greatly expands the application scene and application range of the constant air volume valve;

[0044] In addition, the baffle 5 provided inside the utility model can increase the air flow velocity, and the air duct does not need to be necked down during installation, and only the pipes of equal diameter need to be connected, which greatly reduces the requirements for installation space and reduces the workload of air duct manufacturing and installation.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
