Detailed implementation manner

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] In order to make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 - 4 , the present invention provides a valve structure for a high-low pressure coupling device, including a valve 1 and a driving assembly 2; the valve 1 includes a valve body 101, and the valve body 101 is used to be connected to a pipeline. An asymmetric water flow channel is opened in the center of the valve body 101. The water flow channel provides a space for the fluid to flow through, and the calibers at both ends of the water flow channel are not equal; a valve seat 102 is fixedly connected to the large-caliber port of the water flow channel of the valve body 101, and a valve core 105 is arranged inside the water flow channel; a spring 103 is fixedly connected between the valve seat 102 and the valve core 105, and the spring 103 makes the valve core 105 fit at the small-caliber port of the water flow channel; the contact surface between the valve body 101 and the valve core 105 is a smooth surface, which plays a sealing and bearing role;

[0024] The spring 103 has a reset function. When there is no other external force, under the action of the spring 103, the valve core 105 fits at the small-caliber port of the water flow channel;

[0025] When the valve 1 is installed on the pipeline and the fluid flows in from the small-diameter end of the water flow channel, the valve 1 is a forward-opening valve 1-1; when it is a forward-opening valve 1-1, the pressure of the fluid pushes the valve core 105, causing the spring 103 to compress, and the valve core 105 separates from the small-diameter port of the water flow channel, opening the water flow channel and realizing the circulation of the fluid.

[0026] When the valve 1 is installed on the pipeline and the fluid flows in from the large-diameter end of the water flow channel, the valve 1 is a reverse-opening valve 1-2; when the valve 1 is a reverse-opening valve 1-2, a driving assembly 2 is arranged on the pipeline; the driving assembly 2 is connected to the valve core 105 and is used to drive the valve core 105 to reciprocate axially along the water flow channel.

[0027] The driving assembly 2 is the power component of the valve 1, which is used for the reverse opening or closing of the valve 1. As a reverse-opening valve, when it is necessary to open the water flow channel, the driving assembly 2 drives the valve core 105 to leave the small-diameter port of the water flow channel, thereby opening the water flow channel and realizing the circulation of the fluid.

[0028] In a further optimized solution, a copper sleeve 104 is fixedly connected to the valve seat 102, and the guide rod on the valve core 105 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the copper sleeve 104, so as to guide the movement of the valve core 105.

[0029] In a further optimized solution, seals 3 are respectively clamped between the two ends of the valve body 101 and the pipeline, and the valve body 101 and the pipeline are fixedly connected by fasteners 4.

[0030] The fasteners 4 include a plurality of fastening bolts; the valve body 101 is connected to the pipeline through the fasteners 4. By applying a pre-tightening force, the connection can be made without looseness, ensuring sealing and no leakage; when connecting, seals 3 are arranged on both sides of the valve body 101 to play a sealing role.

[0031] In a further optimized solution, when the valve 1 is a reverse-opening valve 1-2, the pipeline includes a first pipeline 5 and a second pipeline 6, the first pipeline 5 and the second pipeline 6 are perpendicular to each other, the valve body 101 is fixedly connected to the first pipeline 5, and the valve core 105 is located on the side close to the second pipeline 6; the driving assembly 2 is arranged on the second pipeline 6.

[0032] A pilot pipeline 7 is fixedly connected and communicated between the first pipeline 5 and the second pipeline 6. The reverse-opening valve 1 is located between the two ends of the pilot pipeline 7. A pilot control valve 8 is fixedly connected to the pilot pipeline 7 and is used to balance the pressures on the first pipeline 5 and the second pipeline 6.

[0033] The driving form of the driving component 2 can be hydraulic cylinder drive, electric cylinder drive or other driving forms. In this application, the hydraulic cylinder drive is taken as an example for introduction: The driving component 2 includes a piston cylinder 203. The flange on the piston cylinder 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second pipeline 6. The piston rod 201 on the piston cylinder 203 penetrates through the pipe wall of the second pipeline 6 and extends into the first pipeline 5 and is fixedly connected to the valve core 105.

[0034] In a further optimized solution, a front magnetic inductor 204 and a rear magnetic inductor 205 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the piston cylinder 203. A magnetic ring 206 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the piston rod 201 located inside the piston cylinder 203.

[0035] In a further optimized solution, a water seal 202 is fixedly connected to the piston rod 201. The water seal 202 is embedded in the pipe wall of the second pipeline 6, playing a sealing role.

[0036] A control system 9 is also provided. As the piston rod 201 moves, the magnetic ring 206 moves accordingly. The front magnetic inductor 204 is used to detect whether the magnetic ring 206 reaches a specified position in the front of the hydraulic cylinder and transmits it to the control system 9 in the form of an electrical signal. The rear magnetic inductor 205 is used to detect whether the magnetic ring 206 reaches a specified position in the rear of the hydraulic cylinder and transmits it to the control system 9 in the form of an electrical signal, so as to detect the position of the piston rod 201, so that the reverse valve can be monitored and controlled in real time in the control system 9 whether it opens or closes in reverse;

[0037] The control system 9 is the power source and control source of the driving component 2. It can determine the opening and closing state of the valve 1 by monitoring the position of the magnetic ring 206. It can also issue a control instruction to the driving component 2 to realize the integrated control of the opening and closing state of the valve 1;

[0038] The control system 9 is a hydraulic control system. A flow control valve 207 is hydraulically connected to the piston cylinder 203. The flow control valve 207 pre-sets the flow rate. The flow control valve 207 is hydraulically connected to the control system 9. By setting the flow control valve 207 to control the speed when the piston rod 201 in the hydraulic cylinder retracts, the speed when the valve 1 closes is slowed down, so as to reduce the structural damage of the valve body caused by fluid impact.

[0039] According to the different uses and layout positions of the valve 1, the first pipeline 5 and the second pipeline 6 can be refined into a high-pressure cold water pipeline 10, a low-pressure hot water pipeline 11, a high-pressure hot water pipeline 12, a low-pressure cold water pipeline 13, and a fluid exchange pipeline 14 in a high-low pressure coupling device; the reverse opening valve 1-2 is arranged between the high-pressure cold water pipeline 10 and the fluid exchange pipeline 14, and between the low-pressure cold water pipeline 13 and the fluid exchange pipeline 14; the forward opening valve 1-1 is arranged between the low-pressure hot water pipeline 11 and the fluid exchange pipeline 14, and between the high-pressure hot water pipeline 12 and the fluid exchange pipeline 14.

[0041] The reverse-opening valve 1-2 is configured with a pilot pipe 7 and a pilot control valve 8, which are used to balance the pressures in the pipes on both sides when the reverse-opening valve 1-2 is opened, reduce the working resistance and structural size of the driving component 2, eliminate the water hammer effect when the reverse-opening valve 1-2 is opened, and ensure that each component is not damaged by impact; according to the different layout positions of the reverse-opening valve 1-2 in the high-low pressure coupling device, the pilot pipe 7 can be refined into a pilot pipe 7-1 and a pilot pipe 7-2; the pilot control valve 8 can be refined into a pilot control valve 8-1 and a pilot control valve 8-2; the pilot pipe 7-1 and the pilot control valve 8-1 are connected between the high-pressure cold water pipe 10 and the fluid exchange pipe 14; the pilot pipe 7-2 and the pilot control valve 8-2 are connected between the low-pressure cold water pipe 13 and the fluid exchange pipe 14;

[0042] The driving components 2 are respectively arranged on the low-pressure cold water pipe 13 and the fluid exchange pipe 14; and are used to respectively control the opening or closing of the reverse-opening valve 1-2 arranged between the low-pressure cold water pipe 13 and the fluid exchange pipe 14 and between the high-pressure cold water pipe 10 and the fluid exchange pipe 14.
