Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a piston control valve. Background Art

[0002] A piston control valve is a high-performance fluid control device, known for its unique piston seal structure. This valve uses the up and down movement of the piston to control the on-off or flow rate of the fluid. Its sealing performance is excellent, especially suitable for occasions that require precise control. The piston control valve mainly consists of components such as a valve body, a piston, a piston rod, a seal, a valve stem, and a valve core. The sealing surface of the piston usually uses hard materials such as stainless steel or ceramics to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0003] When the control valve eliminates the water hammer phenomenon, the compression and expansion of the spring affect the blocking state between the valve core and the valve body. Currently, it basically affects the displacement change of the piston through the potential energy brought by the fluid impact, so that the piston drives the valve core to displace through the valve stem. However, this method basically relies on the spring. The spring is immersed in the fluid in the valve body for a long time. If the fluid uses water as a solvent or the fluid has certain corrosiveness, it will cause certain damage to the spring, ultimately resulting in the loss of its elastic deformation effect, causing the valve core and the piston to not be able to return to their original positions, and the valve core can only maintain the state of opening the flow channel in the valve body.

[0004] Therefore, a piston control valve is proposed to solve or alleviate the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0028] A piston control valve, as Figure 1 shown, includes a valve body 1, a valve cover 2 fixedly connected to the valve body 1, a valve barrel 3 fixedly connected to the valve cover 2, a valve cap 4 fixedly connected to the valve barrel 3, a valve rod 7, and a valve core 6. A piston 8 is slidably connected in the valve barrel 3. One end of the valve rod 7 is fixedly connected to the piston 8, and the valve rod 7 passes through the valve cover 2 into the valve body 1. The valve core 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the valve rod 7. A guide sleeve 5 is communicated with the valve cap 4. One end of the piston 8 away from the valve rod 7 is fixedly connected with a guide rod 9 that is slidably connected in the guide sleeve 5.

[0029] The piston 8 divides the space between the valve barrel 3 and the valve cap 4 into an upper space and a lower space. The lower space is communicated with the feed port of the valve body 1 through a first water pipe 10, and the upper space is communicated with the discharge port of the valve body 1 through a second water pipe 12. The inlet of the second water pipe 12 is located at the lowest horizontal height of the discharge port in the valve body 1. The second water pipe 12 is provided with an on-off function. The first water pipe 10 and the second water pipe 12 are respectively communicated with a first water pump 11 and a second water pump 13.

[0030] As Figure 2As shown, the first water pump 11 and the second water pump 13 respectively include a first servo motor and a second servo motor, and further include a controller 17, a first servo motor controller 21 and a second servo motor controller 22. The output end of the controller 17 is coupled to the input ends of the first servo motor controller 21 and the second servo motor controller 22, and the output ends of the first servo motor controller 21 and the second servo motor controller 22 are respectively coupled to the input ends of the first servo motor and the second servo motor.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown, it further includes a control circuit and a hydraulic sensor. A third water pipe 15 communicating with the upper space is fixedly connected to the valve cap 4. The hydraulic sensor is arranged in the third water pipe 15. The input end of the control circuit is coupled to the output end of the hydraulic sensor. The control circuit controls the on / off of the second water pipe 12. The control circuit includes a voltage comparison circuit 18, a trigger circuit 19, a relay 20, and a solenoid valve 14. The solenoid valve 14 is connected in the second water pipe 12. The output end of the hydraulic sensor is coupled to the input end of the voltage comparison circuit 18. The output end of the voltage comparison circuit 18 is coupled to the input end of the trigger circuit 19. The output end of the trigger circuit 19 is coupled to the input end of the controller 17. The controller 17 controls the on / off power of the solenoid valve 14 through the relay 20. The voltage comparison circuit 18 is a voltage comparator, and the trigger circuit 19 is an RS flip-flop.

[0032] When the utility model is actually used, the guide rod 9 and the guide sleeve 5 cooperate with the piston 8 to slide in the valve barrel 3, thereby adjusting the available volumes of the upper space and the lower space. When the liquid rushes from the feed port direction of the valve body 1 and impacts on the valve core 6, the valve core 6 can push the piston 8 to displace in the valve barrel 3 through the valve stem 7. At this time, the lower space increases and the upper space shrinks. Since there is sufficient liquid at the feed port of the valve body 1, the controller 17 can control the first servo motor controller 21 to control the first servo motor in the first water pump 11 to work, so as to further displace the piston 8 in the valve barrel 3 by liquid extrusion, open the flow channel in the valve body 1 by the valve core 6, and then stop the work of the first water pump 11. On the contrary, if the fluid volume decreases and the valve core 6 needs to block the flow channel in the valve body 1 again, at this time, the controller 17 can control the second servo motor controller 22 to control the second water pump 13 to work. Since the liquid volume in the discharge port of the valve body 1 will become less and less as the valve core 6 blocks, the second water pipe 12 with the inlet at the lowest horizontal height of the discharge port in the valve body 1 can fully cooperate with the second water pump 13 to suck the liquid into the upper space. Until after the valve core 6 blocks the flow channel in the valve body 1, a small part of the liquid still remains in the discharge port of the valve body 1 and will continue to be sucked into the upper space to increase the liquid pressure in the upper space. When the hydraulic sensor detects the hydraulic pressure in the upper space, it can send a hydraulic signal to the voltage comparator to compare with the reference hydraulic signal therein. When the hydraulic signal is greater than the reference hydraulic signal, the voltage comparison circuit 18 will send a comparison signal to the trigger circuit 19, and the trigger circuit 19 will also respond to the comparison signal and send a trigger signal to the controller 17. The controller 17 will control the relay 20 to cut off the power supply of the solenoid valve 14 through the decoder, so that the solenoid valve 14 remains in the closed state at this time, and the upper space maintains a high hydraulic pressure state, which can push the piston 8 and transmit the acting force to the valve core 6 to abut against the inner wall of the valve body 1 to block the flow channel of the valve body 1, ensuring the sealing effect. And in this process, there is no need to set a spring, avoiding the situation that the entire control valve fails after the spring is damaged.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
