Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of valves, in particular to a quick-response float valve. Background Art

[0002] The float valve is a valve composed of a crank arm and a float, which can be used to automatically control the liquid level of a water tower or pool. It has the characteristics of simple maintenance, flexibility and durability, and high liquid level control accuracy. In application, the float must always float on the water. When the water level rises, the float also rises. The rise of the float drives the connecting rod to rise. The connecting rod is connected to the valve at the other end. When it rises to a certain position, the connecting rod supports the rubber piston pad and closes the water source. When the water level drops, the float also drops, and the connecting rod drives the piston pad to open. In the prior art, when the float and the crank arm are connected to the piston, a torsion spring is usually installed to make the piston respond quickly through the elasticity of the torsion spring. The torsion spring is easily corroded by long-term contact with the liquid medium, and when the pressure difference in the pipeline is too large, it is easy to cause poor sealing of the piston and pipeline leakage. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the utility model aims to propose a fast response float valve to solve the problems of the prior art float valve having slow response efficiency due to the influence of liquid level floating and easy leakage due to excessive pressure in the upstream pipeline.

[0013] (2) The fast response float valve described in the utility model can adjust the speed ratio of the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear during implementation. For example, if the outer diameter of the first bevel gear is twice the outer diameter of the second bevel gear, the opening of the valve core driven by the up and down floating of the pull rod can be reduced, and the valve core is not easy to drive the first bevel gear to rotate through the second bevel gear when subjected to water pressure, so as to prevent the pressure difference in the upstream and downstream pipelines from driving the valve to open during the non-opening period.

[0014] (3) The utility model describes a fast response float valve, wherein the first gear and the second gear are both fan-shaped gears, the arc section of the fan-shaped gear is used for the first gear to drive the second gear to rotate, a limiting boss is set on the valve body or the mounting seat, a cutout is provided on the second gear, the boss is located in the cutout, the outer periphery of the boss can abut against the two side walls of the cutout, one side wall of the cutout of the second gear contacts the boss to indicate the valve is closed, and the other side wall of the cutout of the second gear contacts the boss to indicate the valve is open, so as to prevent the valve stem from driving the valve core to rotate excessively, causing the valve to open poorly.

[0025] The valve 7 includes a valve body 73, a valve stem 71 and a valve core 72. The two ends of the valve body 73 are fixedly connected to the upstream pipeline and the downstream pipeline respectively. The second gear 6 is rotatably sleeved on the valve body 73 through the central axis 61, and the connecting seat 5 is fixedly installed on the valve body 73.
