Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to a heating balance valve, belonging to the technical field of balance valves. Background Art

[0002] Existing temperature balance adjustment devices for heating pipe networks are key equipment in heating systems for maintaining and adjusting heat energy distribution. The main purpose of these devices is to ensure that heat energy is evenly distributed to each user according to the design requirements, while maintaining the stability and efficiency of the system. Among them, the balance valve is a common temperature balance adjustment device for heating pipe networks. The balance valve can ensure that each branch loop obtains the designed flow rate, preventing the flow rate in some loops from being too much or too little, so as to avoid the situation of overheating in some areas and overcooling in other areas, and achieve the temperature balance of the entire system; for example, the Chinese patent authorization publication number: CN222559347U, discloses a temperature balance adjustment device for heating pipe networks, which can lock the adjustment handwheel, achieving the purpose that the adjustment state of the balance valve cannot be changed randomly, and ensuring the stability of the device; however, this structure cannot automatically adapt to the flow rate fluctuation balance caused by indoor temperature control. Another example is the Chinese authorization publication number: CN218954158U, which discloses a heating balance valve. The purpose of this structure is to better control the heating balance valve and facilitate the better use of the heating balance valve, but this structure cannot achieve the precise balance of the incoming household temperature fluctuation; for the existing differential pressure dynamic balance valve, during the use process, affected by factors such as diaphragm material, installation, and mechanical fatigue during long-term operation, it cannot ensure the precise flow control of the balance valve; for some balance valves using an electric control structure, once there is a power failure or the electric control part fails, the function of the balance valve cannot be realized. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] To solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a heating balance valve, which corrects the valve body opening by collecting the temperature at the return water end of the heating pipe network to ensure the precise flow control of the balance valve. When the correction end electric control fails, the valve body itself still has the pressure balance function.

[0004] The heating balance valve of the utility model includes a valve body, a pressure chamber is installed on the top of the valve body, and a pressure guiding pipe is installed on the pressure chamber; a diaphragm is installed inside the pressure chamber; the diaphragm is installed with the action end of the valve core; during operation, the heating pipe network enters the user end through the valve body. When the user end adjusts the temperature, the heat medium flow rate entering the user end of the heating pipe network is adjusted. When the user end adjusts the temperature, it will affect the flow medium pressure at the incoming household end of the heating pipe network. At this time, the flow medium pressure of the heating pipe network synchronously intervenes in the action of the diaphragm in the pressure chamber to synchronously adjust the return water pressure of the heating pipe network, thereby achieving the heat balance of the heating pipe network.

[0005] It further includes:

[0006] The correction unit includes a solenoid seat fixed to the top and bottom surfaces of the pressure chamber; the solenoid seat is connected to the inside of the pressure chamber; the solenoid seats are connected through a correction tube; an electrically controlled opening valve is connected in series between the correction tubes;

[0007] A pipe support, the pipe support is integrally formed on the upper part of the valve body input side; a first internal thread groove is provided on the upper inner part of the pipe support; a temperature detection hole is provided at the center of the pipe support of the valve body;

[0008] The temperature transmitter unit comprises a first convex seat screwed with the first internal thread groove, a notch is provided on the upper part of the first convex seat; a temperature transmitter is fixedly engaged in the inner side of the notch, and the temperature transmitter is movably inserted into the temperature detection hole; an epoxy resin adhesive is provided between the first convex seat and the valve body of the pipe support; a contact electrode connected to the temperature transmitter is fixed on the top of the first convex seat;

[0009] A control unit, the control unit includes a box body with a built-in controller, a second convex seat is fixed to the bottom of the box body, the second convex seat is screwed to the notch of the first convex seat, two electrode rings are embedded and fixed to the bottom of the second convex seat, the electrode rings are in contact with the contact electrodes; the controller is connected to the electrode rings; the electric control opening valve is connected to the controller.

[0010] When the fluctuation of the source end of the heating network, the movement error of the diaphragm of the pressure chamber or the elastic fatigue of the diaphragm and other factors cause the return water temperature of the balancing valve to deviate from the set temperature, and the deviation exceeds the set value, the correction unit will perform the deviation correction. The specific work is as follows: The temperature transmitter collects the internal temperature of the valve body in real time, and sends the temperature data to the controller through the contact electrode and the electrode ring. The controller calculates the difference between the temperature data and the set value. When the difference reaches the set value, the opening of the electronically controlled opening valve is obtained according to the size of the difference, thereby adjusting the pressure on the upper part of the diaphragm of the pressure chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, the pressure-conducting pipe is connected to the water inlet end of the household heating pipe; the valve body is connected to the return water end of the household heating pipe; when in use, the pressure-conducting pipe pumps the high-pressure fluid into the pressure chamber to control the diaphragm to move, thereby realizing the return water pressure adjustment at the return water end.

[0012] Furthermore, the first convex seat and the second convex seat are both hexagonal in structure on the outside; the hexagonal structure can be tightened by secondary screw connection using a wrench.

[0013] Further, the correction pipe includes an upper pipe section and a lower pipe section. One end of the upper pipe section and the lower pipe section is provided with a joint screwed to the screw pipe seat, and the other end of the upper pipe section and the lower pipe section is provided with a flange body fixed to the electric control opening valve. During installation, first screw the upper pipe section and the lower pipe section onto the screw pipe seat, and then align the flanges with the flange of the electric control opening valve to achieve axial and circumferential limits of the correction pipe after installation.

[0014] Further, the inner diameter of the upper pipe section and the lower pipe section near the electric control opening valve is greater than that of the other end. After the inner diameter of the correction pipe near the electric control opening valve is increased, the intervention amount of the electric control opening valve can be improved, and the correction unit can quickly execute deviation correction.

[0015] Further, an Internet of Things communication module connected to the controller is arranged in the box body, and the Internet of Things communication module is connected to the indoor temperature control host. When the controller obtains the set temperature data of the indoor temperature control host through the Internet of Things communication module, at the same time, the controller collects the return water temperature of the heat supply pipe network collected by the temperature transmitter, calculates the temperature difference between the two, compares whether the temperature difference reaches the correction threshold, and after reaching the set correction threshold, the controller retrieves the temperature-opening degree comparison table set in the controller according to the size of the difference to obtain the opening degree, and sends the opening degree to the correction unit, and the correction unit executes deviation correction to realize the secondary balance action of the balance valve.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the heat supply balance valve of the present utility model collects the return water temperature of the heat supply pipe network, and judges whether the correction trigger threshold is reached according to the collected temperature value. After reaching the correction trigger threshold, the opening degree of the valve body is corrected to ensure the accurate flow control of the balance valve. The valve body controls the opening degree action of the valve stem through components such as a pressure chamber, a pressure guiding pipe and a diaphragm, and realizes mechanical pressure self-control based on the pressure of the heat supply pipe network, and can keep the valve body always having the pressure balance function. When the electric control of the correction end fails, the valve body itself still has the pressure balance function. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
