[0019] In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, if the terms "set" and "connected" are used, they should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.
[0020] As shown in the attached drawings, the present utility model includes a valve body 1. Water inlet channels and water outlet channels are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the valve body 1. A cavity communicating with the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel is provided in the middle of the valve body 1. A valve flap 2 is provided in the cavity. A plastic layer 3 is wrapped outside the valve flap 2. A valve cover 4 is provided at the top of the valve body 1. A valve stem 5 connected to the valve flap 2 is provided on the valve cover 4. A valve stem sealing assembly 6 is provided on the valve cover 4. A movable limit block 7 is provided on the valve stem 5. A limit groove 8 cooperating with the movable limit block 7 is provided on the valve cover 4.
[0021] The valve flap 2 is a casting. The process of wrapping the plastic layer 3 on the outer surface of the casting is simple. A hard sealing strip is welded at the end of the water outlet channel of the valve body 1, which can cooperate with the plastic layer 3 to achieve a good sealing effect.
[0022] The valve cover 4 is detachably installed on the valve body 1 through a set of screws. The valve cover 4 and the valve body 1 are sealed through a sealing ring. The cooperation of the movable limit block 7 and the limit groove 8 is used to limit the valve flap 2 in the sealed state to prevent the valve flap 2 from loosening due to accidental touch. When the movable limit block 7 rotates with the valve stem 5 to the position of the limit groove 8, the valve flap 2 is in a fully sealed state. At this time, the movable limit block 7 enters the limit groove 8, making the valve stem 5 in a locked state, which can effectively prevent the valve flap 2 from loosening due to accidental touch.
[0023] Furthermore, a filter bucket 10 is provided in the water inlet channel. The filter bucket 10 is movably inserted into the water inlet channel. A sewage discharge port 11 is provided on the side wall of the filter bucket 10 near the bottom end. A sewage discharge pipe 12 communicating with the sewage discharge port 11 is provided on the water inlet channel. A sewage discharge valve is provided on the sewage discharge pipe 12.
[0024] A circular protrusion is provided in the water inlet channel for limiting the filter bucket 10. The top of the filter bucket 10 is open, and the bottom of the filter bucket 10 is a filter screen. In this case, the filter bucket 10 is placed horizontally. After the water flows in, it is first filtered by the filter bucket 10, which can prevent the sand and gravel in the water from entering the cavity of the valve body 1, avoid the wear of the sealing surface by the sand and gravel, and extend the service life of the valve. The sewage discharge valve can be opened regularly, and the sundries in the filter bucket 10 are discharged from the sewage discharge pipe 12.
[0025] Preferably, the bottom end of the filter bucket 10 is inclined, and the sewage discharge port 11 is located on the side wall of the filter bucket 10 at the lower end.
[0026] In this case, positioning holes are provided on the annular protrusion of the water inlet channel, and positioning blocks matching the positioning holes are provided at the bottom of the filter barrel 10, which facilitates the positioning during the installation of the filter barrel 10, so that the lower end of the inclined surface at the bottom end of the filter barrel 10 is located below, and the sewage outlet 11 and the sewage pipe 12 are aligned.
[0027] Preferably, the valve stem sealing assembly 6 includes a lower seal 15, an upper seal 16 and a compression spring 17. A valve stem mounting hole is provided on the valve cover 4, and a lower seal mounting groove and an upper seal mounting groove are respectively provided in the valve stem mounting hole. The lower seal 15 and the upper seal 16 are respectively installed in the corresponding lower seal mounting groove and upper seal mounting groove. One end at the top of the valve stem mounting hole is screwed with a spring compression nut 18, and the compression spring 17 is sleeved on the valve stem 5 and is located between the spring compression nut 18 and the upper seal 16.
[0028] The cross-sections of the lower seal 15 and the upper seal 16 are both L-shaped structures. The lower seal 15 and the upper seal 16 are symmetrically installed. The lower seal 15 is located at the bottom of the valve cover 4 and has an upward thrust under the water pressure to closely adhere to the lower seal mounting groove. The upper seal 16 has a downward pressure under the action of the compression spring 17 to closely adhere to the upper seal mounting groove. The spring compression nut 18 is threadedly connected to the valve cover 4, and the pressure of the compression spring 17 can be adjusted through the spring compression nut 18. The valve cover 4 and the valve stem 5 are sealed by the upper and lower seals, effectively improving the sealing performance.
[0029] Furthermore, a set of annular grooves 20 are provided on the inner side walls of the lower seal 15 and the upper seal 16. The annular grooves 20 can form multiple sealing segments on the inner side walls of the lower seal 15 and the upper seal 16, and have a certain expansion space when being squeezed, and can better fit with the valve stem 5.
[0030] Furthermore, an annular pressing block 22 is provided between the compression spring 17 and the upper seal 16. The annular pressing block 22 presses on the top of the upper seal 16, so that the pressure of the compression spring 17 can be applied to the upper seal 16 more evenly.
[0031] Furthermore, a hinge support 24 is provided on the valve stem 5, and the movable limit block 7 is hinged to the hinge support 24 through a pin shaft. The inclined surfaces that match each other are provided on one side of the limit groove 8 and the movable limit block 7.
[0032] The height of one side of the limiting groove 8 with an inclined surface is lower than that of the other side. When the movable limiting block 7 rotates to the position of the limiting groove 8, the cooperation of the two inclined surfaces causes the movable limiting block 7 to be lifted by one side of the limiting groove 8. When the movable limiting block 7 moves directly above the limiting groove 8, it will fall into the limiting groove 8 by itself. At this time, the valve stem 5 cannot continue to rotate in both forward and reverse directions. On the contrary, when opening, just push the movable limiting block 7 out of the limiting groove 8.
[0033] Furthermore, a magnet 25 for magnetically adsorbing the movable limiting block 7 is provided on the hinge support 24. When it is necessary to open, the movable limiting block 7 rotates upward and is adsorbed by the magnet 25, so as to avoid interference from the movable limiting block 7 when the valve stem 5 is rotated.
