[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas valves, in particular to a normally closed solenoid valve. Background Art
[0002] The normally closed gas safety valve is a safety device installed in the pipeline of natural gas and combustible gas equipment. During normal use, the valve is in an open state, and the valve stem is in a high position. When the electromagnetic coil is powered off, the valve stem falls back under the action of the spring to close the valve. Since the valve stem needs to be kept in a high position during normal use, the electromagnetic coil needs to be powered on all the time. The electromagnetic coil provides magnetic attraction to the valve stem to keep it in a high position. The electromagnetic coil needs to pull the entire valve stem, the valve, and the elastic force of the spring that needs to offset the valve stem reset. It requires a large magnetic force to pull, which means that the electromagnetic coil needs to consume a large amount of power. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the normally closed solenoid valve of the utility model comprises a housing 1, a valve cap 2, a valve stem 3, a valve 4, a first spring 5 and a lock 6. The housing has an air passage 111 for gas to pass through. The valve 4 is fixed on the valve stem 3. The valve 4 is used to open or close the air passage 111. The first spring 5 is sleeved on the valve stem 3. The lower end of the first spring 5 abuts against the valve stem 3. The upper end of the first spring 5 abuts against the housing 1. The first spring 5 is used to reset the valve stem 3. The valve stem 3 is installed in the housing 1. The upper end of the valve stem 3 extends out of the housing 1. A handle 7 is fixed to the upper end of the valve stem 3. The handle 7 is provided to increase the contact area and facilitate lifting. The valve cap 2 is detachably mounted on the housing 1. The valve cap 2 covers the handle 7 to ensure that the valve cap 2 cannot be lifted when the valve cap 2 is not opened. That is, the valve stem 3 can only be lifted by pulling the handle 7 after the valve cap 2 is opened. The locker 6 is installed on the housing 1, and the locker 6 is also linked with the valve stem 3; when the locker 6 is energized, the locker 6 limits the valve stem 3 from falling back, so that the valve 4 remains in the state of opening the airway 111, and the first spring 5 is compressed at this time; when the locker 6 is de-energized, the locker 6 is disengaged from the valve stem 3, and the valve stem 3 is reset under the drive of the first spring 5, and the valve stem 3 drives the valve 4 to reset, that is, the valve 4 closes the airway 111; when it needs to be opened again, the locker 6 is energized, and then the valve cap 2 is opened, and then the handle 7 is pulled, and after the valve stem 3 is pulled to a predetermined position, the locker 6 can automatically limit the valve stem 3 to prevent the valve stem 3 from falling back.
[0026] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, a limit plate 8 is provided at the lower end of the valve stem 3, and the limit plate 8 is used to limit the valve 4 to prevent the valve 4 from turning up. An annular stopper 81 is provided at the edge of the limit plate 8, and the annular stopper 81 is used to limit the first spring 5 to prevent the first spring 5 from shaking. The valve stem 3 is fixed to the valve 4 through a locking member 9, and the locking member 9 is screwed on the valve stem 3. The locking member 9 has an anti-slip portion 91, and the anti-slip portion 91 is used to prevent the valve 4 from falling off. The anti-slip portion 91 cooperates with the limit plate 8 to clamp and fix the valve 4 on the valve stem 3. A limit step 30 is provided on the valve stem 3, and the locker 6 cooperates with the limit step 30 to limit the valve stem 3. The valve stem 3 includes an upper connecting section 31, a position limiting matching section 32 and a lower connecting section 33. The position limiting matching section 32 is a cone. The diameter of the upper connecting section 31 is larger than the diameter of the position limiting matching section 32 near one end of the upper connecting section 31, so that a position limiting step 30 is formed at the connection between the upper connecting section 31 and the position limiting matching section 32. The handle 7 is installed on the upper connecting section 31, and the lower connecting section 33 is connected to the valve 4.
[0027] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 For reference, the lock 6 includes a limit rod 61, a mounting tube 62, a second spring 63 and an electromagnetic coil 64. The electromagnetic coil 64 is a coil commonly used in electromagnetic valves, and the electromagnetic coil 64 is mounted on one end of the mounting tube 62, and the other end of the mounting tube 62 is detachably mounted on the housing. The limit rod 61 is slidably arranged in the mounting tube 62, and the outer end of the limit rod 61 extends into the housing and the valve stem 3 is inserted into the limit rod 61. The limit step 30 of the valve stem 3 cooperates with the valve stem 3 to limit the valve stem 3. The end of the limit rod 61 located outside the mounting tube 62 is the outer end, and the end of the limit rod 61 located inside the mounting tube 62 is the inner end. The second spring 63 is installed in the mounting tube 62, and one end of the second spring 63 abuts against the inner end of the limit rod 61. When the electromagnetic coil 64 is energized, the electromagnetic coil 64 uses magnetic force to provide a suction force to the limit rod 61, that is, there is always a force applied to the limit rod 61 in the direction of the mounting tube 62, ensuring that the limit rod 61 always maintains contact with the valve stem 3. When the limit step 30 is located above the limit rod 61, the limit rod 61 will cooperate with the limit step 30 to limit the valve stem 3.
[0028] The limiting rod 61 is provided with a through hole 611, the diameter of which is the same as the diameter of the upper connecting section 31 of the valve stem 3, so as to ensure that the valve stem 3 can be reset and fall back. In other embodiments, the diameter of the through hole 611 may also be larger than the diameter of the upper connecting section 31 of the valve stem 3. The outer surface of the limiting rod 61 is provided with a venting groove 612, which is arranged axially, one end of which is located inside the mounting tube 62, and the other end of which is located outside the mounting tube 62. The limiting rod 61 is provided with a venting hole 613, which is arranged extending from the end surface of the inner end of the limiting rod 61 toward the outer end, and the venting groove 612 is connected with the venting hole 613 through a connecting hole 614. The ventilation groove 612 is connected to the ventilation hole 613, so that when the limiting rod 61 moves into the mounting tube 62, the air in the mounting tube 62 can be smoothly discharged from the mounting tube 62, and the limiting rod 61 will not be unable to move into the mounting tube 62 due to the inability to discharge the air in the mounting tube 62.
[0029] The housing includes an upper valve body 11 and a lower valve body 12, wherein the upper valve body 11 is mounted on the lower valve body 12, and the lower valve body 12 is provided with an air passage 111, the upper end of the first spring 5 is abutted against the upper valve body 11, the valve stem 3 is penetrated on the upper valve body 11, the upper end of the valve stem 3 penetrates the upper valve body 11 and is connected to the handle 7, and the lower end of the valve stem 3 penetrates the upper valve body 11 and is connected to the valve 4. A limiting groove 121 is provided on the upper valve body 11, and the upper end of the first spring 5 is placed in the limiting groove 121 to limit the first spring 5 and prevent the first spring 5 from shaking. A mounting hole is provided on the upper valve body 11, and the mounting pipe 62 of the lock 6 is installed in the mounting hole. A guide sleeve 13 is provided on the upper valve body 11, and the valve stem 3 is arranged in the guide sleeve 13. The material of the guide sleeve 13 is the same as that of the valve stem 3, which can reduce the wear of the valve stem 3 and the upper valve body 11 and extend the service life. Generally speaking, the valve stem 3 needs to be made of a high-strength alloy. A guide sleeve 13 of the same material is provided at the contact position between the valve stem 3 and the upper valve body 11, so that the upper valve body 11 can be made of a relatively ordinary aluminum alloy material, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.
[0030] During normal use, the valve stem 3 is lifted, and the electromagnetic coil 64 is energized to keep the limit rod 61 always attached to the limit step 30, ensuring that the valve stem 3 will not fall back. When the electromagnetic coil 64 is powered off, the limit rod 61 is reset under the action of the second spring 63, so that the axis of the through hole 611 coincides with the axis of the valve stem 3, and the valve stem 3 is reset under the action of the first spring 5, and the valve stem 3 drives the valve 4 to reset from closing the airway 111. The volume of the limit rod 61 is smaller than that of the valve stem 3, and the limit rod 61 is arranged horizontally, and the valve stem 3 is arranged vertically. The electromagnetic coil 64 only needs to pull the limit rod 61 and overcome the elastic force of the second spring 63, without pulling the valve stem 3 and the valve 4 and overcoming the elastic force of the first spring 5. In this way, the required magnetic force can be reduced, so that the electromagnetic coil 64 also only needs a smaller power consumption, which is lower than the existing function.

Any equivalent structure made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
