Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valve preparation, in particular to a low-temperature filtering pressure reducing valve, which is a pneumatic control valve used for fluid switching and outlet pressure control. Background Art

[0002] In pneumatic systems, power is transmitted and controlled through compressed air in a closed circuit. It is usually necessary to reduce and adjust the pressure in the circuit while ensuring the stability of the output pressure. A filter pressure reducing valve can meet these requirements while filtering out impurities such as oil, water, and dust that may be present in the air path. Fluids include liquids and gases, and valves are key devices for fluid control. Pneumatic pressure reducing valves are increasingly used for flow switching and on / off control. Currently, pressure reducing valves are used in relatively mild scenarios. When used outdoors at low temperatures or at low temperatures, low-temperature parts often become damaged and malfunction. In rainy and snowy weather outdoors, impurities such as rainwater, mosquitoes, and dust can easily enter the valve body, damaging the diaphragm and affecting the service life and normal function of the pressure reducing valve. Due to changes in temperature and phase during use, liquid condensation is a common occurrence. Pressure reducing valves must be able to automatically discharge liquid to prevent compromising the valve's function.

[0003] CN201922030563.6 discloses a pressure reducing valve pressure gauge, comprising a pressure reducing valve body and a pressure gauge assembly in sealed communication with the pressure reducing valve body; the pressure reducing valve body having an air inlet at one end and an air outlet at the other end; the pressure gauge assembly comprising a pressure gauge housing, a drive diaphragm, and a needle rotating assembly; one end of the pressure gauge housing being in sealed communication with the pressure reducing valve body; the drive diaphragm being sealed and fixedly disposed at the bottom of the pressure gauge housing and being able to be lifted upward to cooperate with the needle rotating assembly. The diaphragm type is simple in structure, impact-resistant, and has good sealing properties, preventing air leakage and making it safer and more reliable to use.

[0004] The working principles adopted by the existing filter pressure reducing valve industry are the same. The manual drainage working mode cannot meet the modern daily working conditions, nor can it guarantee normal use in low temperature and outdoor rainy and snowy weather. Therefore, the existing products cannot take into account all of the above situations at the same time. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a filtering pressure reducing valve that can be used under low temperature conditions, in particular a valve with a filtering structure for automatic drainage.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a low-temperature filtering pressure-reducing valve, the low-temperature filtering pressure-reducing valve assembly is composed of three parts: a valve body assembly, an adjusting assembly and a cup assembly, namely, a cup body 16 and a semi-automatic drainage assembly 5; the valve body assembly includes a main valve body 11, a valve cover 1, a diaphragm assembly 2, a filter assembly 4, a rainproof device 6, a valve stem assembly 3, a spring seat 7, an adjusting spring 8, a connecting rod 12, a connecting seat 13, a spoiler ring 14, a secondary spring 15, and a lower portion of the main valve body 11 connected to the cup body 16; the valve cover 1 is fixed to the upper neck of the main valve body 11, and an adjusting screw 20 extends from the middle hole of the valve cover 1, and the lower end of the adjusting screw 20 is respectively installed with the adjusting spring 8, The diaphragm assembly 2, the valve stem assembly 3 and the connecting rod 12, the inlet and outlet are provided on the left and right sides of the main valve body 11, and a connecting passage is provided between the inlet and outlet in the main valve body. The diaphragm assembly 2 is pressed on the connecting passage in the center of the main valve body, and the vertical elastic adjusting spring 8 presses the diaphragm assembly 2 and the valve stem assembly 3 fixed thereto from above; the connecting rod 12 is connected to the bottom of the valve stem assembly 3; the spring seat 7 encircles the adjusting spring 8 above the adjusting spring 8; the passage directly connecting the inlet and outlet passes through the filter element of the filter assembly, and the passage diameter is greater than 9 mm; a cup body of the same diameter is fixed below the valve body, the connecting rod 12 is located in the center of the cup body, and a filter is installed around the bottom of the connecting rod 12; the bottom of the cup body is a semi-automatic drainage assembly.

[0007] This new low-temperature filter-pressure reducing valve features an optimized internal structure, with metal components made of 316 stainless steel and seals and diaphragms made of ultra-low-temperature materials. A rain shield is installed at the exhaust port, which is exposed to the outside world, and a semi-automatic drainage mechanism is used. Its operating characteristics include: while meeting the requirements of a normal pressure reducing valve, it can operate normally in temperatures between -55°C and 80°C; it can function normally outdoors in rainy and snowy environments; and it offers both automatic and manual drainage.

[0008] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: When high-pressure gas is connected, the gas is first centrifuged by the turbulence ring to remove some particulate impurities. The gas is then filtered through a filter to remove impurities such as water, oil, and fine dust. The main valve opening is then adjusted by adjusting the screw to produce a certain pressure loss, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing pressure. When the output pressure exceeds the set pressure, the outlet pressure is transmitted to the diaphragm through the feedback port, causing the diaphragm to move upward. At this time, the center hole of the diaphragm assembly, which is pressed down, opens, and exhaust begins to reduce the outlet pressure. Simultaneously, the valve stem moves upward under the action of the spring force, reducing the main valve opening and increasing the pressure loss. Once the outlet pressure drops to the required level, the valve stem pushes the connecting rod to mate with the sealing ring in the center hole of the diaphragm assembly, and the system is rebalanced.

[0009] The side of the adjustment spring 8 is equipped with a rain shield. The shield's operating principle: It features an exhaust port that points vertically downward. Multiple internal vents prolong the time it takes for rainwater to enter the seat, allowing it to accumulate and drain out of the valve body through gravity. Alternatively, the exhaust is blown out of the valve body during self-regulation. This provides a significant degree of rain protection. A filter screen is located beneath the shield to prevent insects and dust particles from entering the valve body.

[0010] The benefits of this utility model include low operating temperatures and a wide temperature range. It is rainproof and can be used outdoors without the need for a rain cover. It also features a semi-automatic drainage function, making it practical and convenient. The drainage port utilizes a standard M14x1 thread, allowing for installation of other components of this product, such as the automatic drain and manual drain components. The modular design features a standard M6x0.5 threaded exhaust port, and the rain shield can be replaced with components such as a muffler and filter depending on the operating environment.
