DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 2A vacuum pneumatic water valve is shown, comprising a valve body C1, a first elastic diaphragm C3, an inlet pipe C4 and an outlet pipe C5, wherein the elastic diaphragm cover is arranged at the upper end of the valve body, and the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are both arranged at the lower end of the valve body; a button C6 and a valve core C7 are arranged in the valve body, and the valve core is movably installed on the valve body, the top of the button is fixedly connected to the middle part of the first elastic diaphragm, and the button protrudes from the upper end of the valve body, and the deformation of the first elastic diaphragm can drive the button to move in the valve body; the button is provided with a permanent magnet C8, and the permanent magnet moves up and down in the valve body with the button and can link the valve core to move accordingly, thereby controlling the cutting off and conduction between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe; the valve body is also provided with a control port C2, which is used to drive the first elastic diaphragm to deform and restore the deformation.

[0025] The valve body is started, that is, vacuum negative pressure is applied to the control port, and an air pressure difference is formed between the outside and inside of the valve body. The first elastic diaphragm is deformed toward the inside of the valve body and drives the button to move downward. Since a permanent magnet is provided on the button, as the button moves downward, the magnetic adsorption force of the permanent magnet on the valve core (in this embodiment, a carbon steel layer is wrapped around the outside of the valve core, so it can be adsorbed by the permanent magnet) increases. The magnetic adsorption force gradually increases to a certain extent (the magnetic adsorption force can overcome the resistance of the valve core to move upward) to drive the valve core to move upward. The valve core moves upward instantly under the action of a larger magnetic adsorption force, and stops after being adsorbed by the permanent magnet across the valve core cavity.

[0026] Specifically, a flow channel structure is provided between the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe, and the flow channel structure includes a second elastic diaphragm C9 and a water flow port C91 and a valve port C92 provided on the second elastic diaphragm. A sealed transition chamber C11 is formed between the valve body and the second elastic diaphragm. The water flow port is provided between the transition chamber and the water inlet pipe, that is, the tap water in the water inlet pipe can freely enter the transition chamber. The valve port is provided between the transition chamber and the water outlet pipe, that is, when the valve port is opened, the tap water in the transition chamber can freely enter the water outlet pipe; the valve core can move away from or close to the valve port under the linkage of the button; since the tap water can freely enter the transition chamber from the water inlet pipe along the water flow port, when the valve port is connected, the tap water in the transition chamber flows from the valve port into the water outlet pipe.

[0027] Specifically, the specific structure of the valve core movably installed on the valve body is: the bottom center of the valve body is concave to form a valve core cavity C12 with a circular cross-section, the valve core is movably installed in the valve core cavity, and the valve core cavity is connected to the transition cavity.

[0028] In this embodiment, the diameter of the water flow port is smaller than the diameter of the valve port.

[0029] Specifically, a first spring C13 is further provided in the valve core cavity. The first spring is provided at one end of the valve core away from the valve port. When the valve core moves upward and away from the valve port, the first spring is squeezed to make the valve port conductive.

[0030] Specifically, a second spring C14 is further provided in the valve body. The second spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the valve core cavity and is located below the button. When the button moves downward, the second spring is compressed.

[0031] The control port is evacuated, and an air pressure difference is formed between the inside and the outside of the valve body. The first elastic diaphragm is deformed toward the inside of the valve body, driving the button to move downward with the permanent magnet and squeezing the second spring at the same time. The valve core moves upward instantly under the magnetic adsorption force of the permanent magnet, and stops after being adsorbed by the permanent magnet across the valve core cavity. At this time, the water outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe are connected, and tap water in the water outlet pipe flows out to the outside; the control port stops evacuating, and under the action of the rebound force of the second spring and the rebound force of the first spring respectively, the button is separated from the valve core, and the button resets and moves back to the initial position, the valve core moves down to the valve port position, the water outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe are not connected, and no water flows out of the water outlet pipe.

[0032] Specifically, the valve body and the first elastic diaphragm form a closed cavity, and the control port is connected to the closed cavity; when the control port is evacuated, the closed cavity is in a vacuum negative pressure state, the first elastic diaphragm is deformed inwardly, and the button is driven to squeeze the second spring downward; when the control port stops evacuating and is in a normal air pressure state, the closed cavity is in a normal air pressure state, the first elastic diaphragm recovers its deformation outward, and under the combined action of the rebound force of the second spring and the deformation recovery force of the first elastic diaphragm, the button moves up and resets.

[0033] In this embodiment, preferably, the permanent magnet is installed at the lower end of the button through a magnet seat, and the permanent magnet is used to generate a magnetic adsorption force on the valve core to drive the valve core to move upward.

[0034] In some embodiments, the valve body includes an upper shell C111, the lower end of the upper shell is sealed and connected to a lower shell C122, the button, the permanent magnet, the control port, the first elastic diaphragm, the first spring, the valve core, the valve core cavity, and the second spring are all arranged in the upper shell; the second elastic diaphragm, the water inlet pipe, and the water outlet pipe are all arranged in the lower shell.

[0035] The first elastic diaphragm cover is arranged at the upper end of the upper shell, and the first elastic diaphragm and the upper shell form a closed cavity, the button is arranged in the upper shell and the top thereof is fixedly connected to the middle part of the first elastic diaphragm, the permanent magnet is installed at the lower end of the button through the magnet seat, the bottom center of the upper shell is concave to form a valve core cavity, the second spring sleeve is arranged on the outer periphery of the valve core cavity, the valve core is arranged in the valve core cavity and is located outside the closed cavity, the first spring is arranged in the valve core cavity and is located at the end of the valve core away from the valve port, that is, it is arranged between the valve core and the bottom of the valve core cavity;

[0036] The water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are arranged in the lower shell body, the second elastic diaphragm is arranged in the lower shell body, and forms a sealed transition chamber with the upper shell body, the transition chamber is connected with the valve core chamber, the valve core can move back and forth in the valve core chamber and the transition chamber, the second elastic diaphragm is provided with a water flow port and a valve port, the water flow port is arranged between the transition chamber and the water inlet pipe, the valve port is arranged between the transition chamber and the water outlet pipe, the tap water enters the transition chamber from the water inlet pipe through the water flow port, and when the valve port is opened, the tap water in the transition chamber flows into the water outlet pipe through the valve port.

[0037] The action process of the utility model is:

[0038] The utility model forms a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the valve body or releases the pressure difference by evacuating a vacuum or maintaining a normal pressure at the control port, thereby driving a key to move, and then driving the valve core to move, thereby opening or closing the valve port, that is, connecting or disconnecting the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe, thereby realizing the on-off control of the water valve.

[0039] Valve port conduction action process: the control port is vacuumed, and a pressure difference is formed between the valve body and the outside. The first elastic diaphragm is deformed toward the inside of the valve body, and the driving button moves the permanent magnet downward, squeezing the second spring at the same time. The magnetic adsorption force of the permanent magnet on the valve core gradually increases during the downward movement. When the magnetic adsorption force increases to overcome the resistance of the valve core to move upward, the valve core moves upward instantly and stops after being adsorbed by the permanent magnet across the valve core cavity. At this time, the water outlet pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe, and tap water in the water outlet pipe flows out to the outside;

[0040] The valve port closing action process: the control port stops vacuuming, and under the joint action of the rebound force of the second spring and the rebound force of the first spring, the button is separated from the valve core, the button resets and moves back to the initial position, the valve core moves down to the valve port position, the water outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe are not connected, and no water flows out of the water outlet pipe.
