DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] Embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as limitations on the present utility model. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "upper surface", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the present utility model.
[0021] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides an embodiment: a two-position three-way mechanical valve, comprising a valve body 1, a working chamber 3 arranged on the valve body 1, and an exhaust port 7 connected to the working chamber 3; an air inlet 2 is arranged on one side of the valve body 1, and a working port 4 is arranged on one side of the air inlet 2, and one end of the air inlet 2 and the working port 4 are connected to the working chamber 3; a valve flap assembly 6 is also arranged in the working chamber 3, and the valve flap assembly 6 includes an upper valve plate 62 and a lower valve plate 64 and a valve stem 60 sliding between the upper valve plate 62 and the lower valve plate 64; by moving the valve stem 60 downward, the air channel 61 provided on the valve stem 60 is connected with the air inlet 2, so that the air flow passes through the air channel 61 and flows to the working port 4; by moving the valve stem 60 upward, the air channel 61 is separated from the air inlet 2, while cutting off the air flow from the air inlet 2 to the working port 4, the air channel 61 can be connected with the exhaust port 7.
[0022] In summary, by moving the valve stem 60 between the two valve plates, and by moving the air channel 61 downward to communicate with the air inlet 2 and upward to communicate with the exhaust port 7, the air flow from the air inlet 2 to the working port 4 can be realized, and the exhaust port 7 can also be connected with the working port 4. The air channel 61 is directly opened on the valve stem 60, so that the device can realize the introduction and discharge of the air source by sliding the valve stem 60 up and down. It is simple and convenient, and also has a simple structure and is easy to use. In particular, the device uses a purely mechanical structure to complete the air flow in and out, and thus has the advantage of a longer service life compared to the electromagnetic exhaust valve.
[0023] Furthermore, since the valve flap assembly 6 also includes a support member 63; an air hole 66 is provided on the circumferential surface of the support member 63, and a slide groove 65 for guiding the sliding of the valve stem 60 is provided in the middle of the support member 63, the support member 63 can be used to guide the sliding of the valve stem 60, and the air hole 66 is arranged on the support member 63, so that the position of the air hole 66 can be ensured to remain unchanged regardless of how the valve stem 60 moves, thereby enabling smooth, stable and reliable switching of the air flow.
[0024] Furthermore, since there are multiple air channels 61 and the multiple air channels 61 are arranged in a circular array on the circumferential surface of the valve stem 60, the air flow can flow out smoothly through the air channels 61 to increase the air flow rate of the device per unit time. At the same time, there are multiple air holes 66, which are also arranged in a circular array on the circumferential surface of the support member 63.
[0025] Based on this, the device increases the number of air passages 61 and air holes 66 to increase the amount of airflow passing through the device per unit time, thereby reducing the amount of airflow obstructed by the device.
[0026] Specifically, since the upper valve plate 62 is installed above the support member 63, and the lower valve plate 64 is installed below the support member 63, the support member 63 can also be used to improve the manufacturing and positioning capabilities of the two valve plates, thereby preventing the two valve plates from sliding along the valve stem 60, which would cause the equipment to become airtight.
[0027] On the basis of the above scheme, a reset member 5 is further provided in the working chamber 3, and the reset member 5 is used to cause the valve stem 60 to reset after the external force disappears. Therefore, the reset member 5 can be used to cause the valve stem 60 to return to its initial state; wherein the reset member 5 is preferably a coil spring.
[0028] In order to reduce the processing difficulty of the equipment and facilitate the assembly of various components, a valve cover 8 is also provided on the valve body 1; the exhaust port 7 is arranged on the valve cover 8 and is connected to the valve body 1 through the valve cover 8, so that the reset member 5 and the valve flap assembly 6 are assembled to the valve body 1, and one end of the valve stem 60 away from the reset member 5 is exposed outside the valve cover 8.
[0029] In addition, in order to allow the air inlet 2 to be connected to the working chamber 3, a process hole 9 is also provided on the side of the valve body 1; wherein the central axis of the process hole 9 is perpendicular to the central axis of the air inlet 2, thereby allowing the air inlet 2 to be connected to the working chamber 3.
[0030] Furthermore, a plug 10 is provided at one end of the process hole 9 away from the working chamber 3 to prevent gas leakage. The plug 10 is preferably a steel ball, which is punched into the process hole 9 by a stamping process to block the process hole 9 to prevent gas leakage.
[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of these embodiments are made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
