Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valve detection, in particular to a flow regulating device with long service life and low maintenance. Background Art

[0002] At present, the various tests of self-closing valves, pressure regulators and electromagnetic shut-off valves are basically done manually. Traditional tests rely on manual twisting of ball valves to adjust the flow rate. The speed of twisting varies from person to person, and the test results vary greatly. Modern automated test benches use electric ball valves, which have some disadvantages. First, the flow control linearity is not good. Second, the high-frequency opening and closing life on the automatic test bench is not long. Third, the valve body comes with impurities, which can easily cause the ball valve to get stuck. First, the replacement cost is high, and second, the requirements for replacement personnel are high.

[0003] In the current industry, there is a method of using a manual ball valve plus a servo motor drive to solve the problem of motor life. However, after the ball valve is used for a long time and the inner sealing gasket is worn, the linearity of the flow control cannot meet the requirements. The structure of the overcurrent closing execution module published in patent CN113125144A is that the telescopic air outlet pipe includes a tube body one and a tube body two, the tube body one is open at both ends, the tube body one is arranged in the tube body two, and the outer diameter of the tube body one is adapted to the inner diameter of the tube body two, the tube body two is closed at one end and open at the other end, the tube body one is arranged in the open end of the tube body two, and an air outlet hole and an air outlet line are arranged along the axial direction of the tube body two, the air outlet is connected to the air outlet line, and the air outlet is located at the end away from the tube body one. This solution solves the linear change of flow control, but the sliding fit requirements of the tube body one and the tube body two are relatively high. After long-term use and wear, it is troublesome to replace and maintain. After the impurities block the fine gap, it needs to be removed and cleaned. For this reason, we propose a long-life and low-maintenance flow regulating device. Utility Model Content
