A supplementary air valve port 24 extending into the inner valve cavity 3 is provided, the second sealing ring 17 corresponds to the supplementary air valve port 24, a first spring 23 is provided on the outer side of the main valve stem 19, a second spring 21 is provided between the front end of the auxiliary valve stem 22 and the first sealing ring 18, a switch valve 11 is installed on the second valve port 13, the switch valve 11 is abutted against the diaphragm 9 on the side wall of the expansion cavity 7, a flow regulating cavity 15 is provided on one side of the valve body 1, a flow regulating valve 16 is provided in the flow regulating cavity 15, the expansion cavity 7 is connected with the flow regulating cavity 15 through the internal dark channel 8 of the valve body 1, the valve stem 25 of the flow regulating valve 16 blocks the internal dark channel 8, and the flow regulating cavity 15 is connected with the air outlet cavity 4 through the supplementary air channel 14.

[0023] As the working principle of this embodiment:

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, all valves are in the closed state and gas cannot enter the gas valve.

[0025] Then as Figure 4 As shown, the switch solenoid valve 6 is powered on and opened, the main valve stem 19 rises, the first valve port 5 is opened, and the gas in the air intake chamber 2 enters the inner valve chamber 3 from the air intake chamber 2. At this time, the air supply valve port 24 and the second valve port 13 are still in a closed state.

[0026] As the main valve stem 19 continues to rise, Figure 5As shown, the main valve stem 19 will also pull up the auxiliary valve stem 22, so that the air supply valve port 24 is also opened, and the gas can enter the expansion chamber 7. The gas in the expansion chamber 7 also enters the internal dark channel 8 at the same time. If the flow regulating valve 16 is opened at this time, the gas can enter the flow regulating chamber 15, enter the air outlet chamber 4 from the air supply channel 14 and be discharged, thereby realizing a small amount of gas discharge.

[0027] As more and more gas enters the expansion chamber 7, Figure 6 As shown, the gas pushes up the diaphragm 9 and opens the switch valve 11, and the second valve port 13 is opened. The gas can directly enter the gas outlet cavity 4 from the second valve port 13 to achieve a relatively large gas outlet volume.

[0028] And as Figure 7-8 As shown, the gas output can be directly adjusted through the flow regulating chamber 15. Since the gas output of the supplementary gas flow channel 14 is relatively small, the adjustment range of the gas output is relatively small, which can ensure the stable and accurate adjustment of small, medium and large fires, so that the gas in the water heater burns more fully and the hot water is relatively stable. The flow regulating valve 16 can be an electromagnetic regulating valve, which adjusts the size of the supplementary gas entering the flow regulating chamber 15 through electric current.

[0029] like Fig. 9 As shown, the flow regulating valve 16 can also be a manually set regulating valve, and an air outlet regulating rod 26 needs to be installed radially at the air outlet hole 27 of the air outlet cavity 4. The air outlet volume can be directly adjusted by rotating the air outlet regulating rod 26, which is convenient and reliable.

[0030] In this embodiment, an axially movable limiting sleeve 20 is provided inside the main valve stem 19, and the tail of the auxiliary valve stem 22 passes through the limiting sleeve 20. When the auxiliary valve stem 22 opens the valve, the limiting sleeve 20 can be lifted up to play a buffering role for the auxiliary valve stem 22.

[0031] In this embodiment, a detachable end plate 10 is installed at a position on the valve body 1 corresponding to the diaphragm 9 to facilitate installation and removal of the diaphragm 9 .

[0032] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the switch valve 11 includes a valve seat 113 clamped between the inner valve cavity 3 and the air outlet cavity 4, the top of the valve seat 113 is provided with a second valve port 13, the middle of the valve seat 113 is provided with a sealing valve plate 111 for closing the second valve port 13, the lower end of the sealing valve plate 111 is vertically connected with a sealing valve stem 112 that abuts against the diaphragm 9, the middle of the valve seat 113 is provided with a guide frame 114, the sealing valve stem 112 passes through the guide frame 114, and a third spring 115 is installed between the outer side of the sealing valve stem 112 and the guide frame 114, so as to realize the rapid opening and closing of the second valve port 13.

[0033] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0034] In addition, in the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0035] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "fixation", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
