[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] As Figures 1-5 shown, a Y-type reversing valve for conveying includes a valve body 1, a channel spool 12 is rotatably connected inside the valve body 1, and the channel of the channel spool 12 is a 45° elbow; a first channel port 15, a second channel port 16 and a third channel port 17 are respectively opened on the outer side of the valve body 1, and the included angle between the second channel port 16 and the third channel port 17 is 90°; the upper end face of the valve body 1 is connected to the upper end cover 2, the lower end face is connected to the lower end cover 9, and a switching drive assembly is connected to the outside of the upper end cover 2; a limiting assembly for restricting the rotation of the channel spool 12 is connected to the upper end cover 2.

[0023] Specifically, the valve body 1, the upper end cover 2 and the lower end cover 9 can be made of stainless steel and cast aluminum; the channel spool 12 is made of cast aluminum lined with a stainless steel pipe; the positioning cam 10, the first connecting shaft 8 and the second connecting shaft 18 are made of stainless steel; the sealing strip is made of silicone rubber.

[0024] Specifically, the switching drive assembly includes a pneumatic actuator 3 and a solenoid valve 4; the pneumatic actuator 3 is connected to the upper end cover 2, the pneumatic actuator 3 is connected to the channel spool 12 through a first connecting shaft 8; the pneumatic actuator 3 is connected with the solenoid valve 4. The action of the pneumatic actuator 3 is controlled by the switching of the solenoid valve 4, and the action of the pneumatic actuator 3 drives the channel spool 12 to rotate through the first connecting shaft 8 to complete the switching of the channel. A second connecting shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the lower end cover 9, and the inner end of the second connecting shaft 18 is connected to the channel spool 12; a first bearing 11 is provided between the second connecting shaft 18 and the lower end cover 9. A second bearing 19 is provided between the first connecting shaft 8 and the upper end cover 2. Sealing strips 13 are provided at the inner ends of the first channel port 15, the second channel port 16 and the third channel port 17. The sealing strip 13 is made of silicone rubber.

[0025] Specifically, the limiting assembly includes an eccentric bolt 6, an eccentric bolt mounting plate 7 and a positioning cam 10; the positioning cam 10 is connected to the channel spool 12; the eccentric bolt mounting plate 7 is connected to the inner side of the upper end cover 2, and the eccentric bolt 6 is connected to the eccentric bolt mounting plate 7, and the eccentric bolt 6 is used to limit the positioning cam 10.

[0026] As Figure 4 , 5 shown, materials enter through the first channel port 15 on the valve body 1, and the second channel port 16 and the third channel port 17 are material outlets. As Figure 4 , 5 shown are two working states of the Y-type reversing valve. As Figure 4 is the state where the left channel is closed and the right channel is open. At this time, the flow port of the channel spool 12 is biased to the right, so that the material flows out from the right side. As Figure 5 is the state where the right channel is closed and the left channel is open. At this time, the flow port of the channel spool 12 is biased to the left, so that the material flows out from the left side.

[0027] Specifically, when it is necessary to switch the flow direction of the valve outlet, the solenoid valve 4 issues an instruction to control the pneumatic equipment in the air circuit to switch the air inlet and outlet directions of the pneumatic actuator 3 to complete the flow direction switching. As Figure 4 the state changes to Figure 5 the state, the channel spool 12 rotates counterclockwise by 135°, and vice versa, it rotates clockwise by 135°.

[0028] Specifically, the Y-type reversing valve body is symmetrical, the included angle between the outlet pipelines of the second channel port 16 and the third channel port 17 is 90°, and the shape is approximately "Y" when viewed from the front. It is suitable for the scenario where the pipeline layout is symmetrical with respect to the center line of the valve body, and this scenario is common in the pneumatic conveying system. The valve body and the valve core are precision cast, with a strong structure, high strength and not easy to deform, beautiful appearance, and its overall structure is more compact, which is convenient for installation and use;

[0029] Specifically, a positioning cam 10 is designed on the channel valve core 12, which is used for reversing positioning when the channel valve core 12 rotates. An eccentric bolt mounting plate 7 is installed on the end cover on the same side of the positioning cam 10. The positioning cam 10 rotates simultaneously with the channel valve core 12. The eccentric bolt mounting plate 7 adjusts the rotation position of the positioning cam 10 by adjusting the eccentric bolt 6, and the precise reversing positioning of the Y-type reversing valve is completed. The precise positioning of the channel valve core 12 ensures smooth flow of materials without blockage;

[0030] Specifically, the Y-type reversing valve has a plunger-type valve core design. After the Y-type reversing valve is assembled, there is enough clearance between the valve body and the valve core, and the inner wall of the valve body and the surface of the valve core are polished. There will be no internal material accumulation during the operation of the Y-type reversing valve, so that the Y-type reversing valve can operate safely and stably for a long time;

[0031] Specifically, the flow channel of the valve core of the Y-type reversing valve is different from that of other reversing valves. Its flow channel is not a straight pipe design, but is assembled from three sections. The middle section is a 45° elbow, and the upper and lower sections are straight pipes, which together form the flow channel of the Y-type reversing valve, ensuring that the valve core is accurately matched with the valve body after it is turned into place, achieving smooth material flow and achieving an ideal reversing effect.

[0032] This Y-type reversing valve for conveying adopts a design in which the plunger rotates 135°. Its flow channel is not a straight pipe design, but is assembled from three sections. The middle section is a 45° elbow, and the upper and lower sections are straight pipes, which together form the flow channel of the Y-type reversing valve. This ensures that the valve core is precisely matched with the valve body after it is turned into place, and the conveying channel is smooth and clean, ensuring smooth material flow without blockage, allowing powder and granular media to pass smoothly, with low fluid resistance and rapid reversal, and it is easy to complete the reversal. The Y-type reversing valve body is symmetrical, which is special compared to other reversing valves. The outlet pipeline angle is 90°, and the overall valve body is in a "Y" shape. The main components must be tightly cast, with a solid structure, high strength and not easy to deform.

[0033] This Y-type reversing valve for conveying has smooth material flow without blockage, allowing powder and granular media to pass smoothly, with low fluid resistance and rapid reversal, making it easy to switch the material flow direction. The equipment operates stably, and the main components must be tightly cast, with a solid structure, high strength and not easy to deform, to ensure efficient operation reliability. The production efficiency is high, and the production schedule can be flexibly controlled according to project requirements. The supporting accessories are assembled and debugged by the factory itself, and the later installation and maintenance are convenient and fast. It completely replaces complete sets of purchased products, saving 20-30% of the overall cost, with considerable economic benefits.
