Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heating, and particularly relates to a water distribution valve core with a flowmeter. Background Art

[0002] In modern buildings, floor heating systems are widely used due to their comfort and energy efficiency advantages. Such systems usually rely on a water distribution device to regulate the hot water flow in different areas. In addition, the water distribution device system is also used in other application fields such as refrigeration. Such systems usually rely on a water distribution device to regulate the heating or chilled water flow in different areas. The water distribution device precisely controls the amount of hot water flowing into each branch pipeline through an internal valve core to ensure the temperature balance in each area. However, the existing water distribution valve core designs have several major defects. First, most valve cores lack a real-time flow display function, and users cannot intuitively understand the flow conditions of each branch. This design makes it necessary for users to rely on experience for flow regulation, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to achieve the best heating effect. Second, when the valve core needs to be closed and then reopened for adjustment, due to the lack of a memory function, users need to perform a complex adjustment process again to retrieve the previous optimal flow setting, which is both time-consuming and error-prone. The valve cores in the prior art usually adopt a standardized design without considering the convenience of user operation and the flexibility of actual applications. This one-size-fits-all design concept limits the adaptability and performance of floor heating systems in different building environments. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of water distribution valve core that should have an intuitive flow display function and user-friendly memory settings to provide higher adjustment efficiency and a better heating experience in daily use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to improve the flow regulation process in the floor heating system, and through the integrated flowmeter and memory function in the water distribution valve core, more precise and convenient flow control is achieved.

[0004] To achieve the above technical purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: A water distribution valve core with a flowmeter, including a base: The base has an external thread and an internal thread. The external thread is used to fix the valve core on the main body of the water distribution device, and the internal thread is used to install and fix the main shaft of the flowmeter;

[0005] The main shaft of the flowmeter: The main shaft of the flowmeter is connected to the base through the internal thread, and the main shaft can move up and down along the internal thread of the base, and the flow in the branch pipeline is adjusted through this movement.

[0006] An adjusting cap: The adjusting cap is located at the top of the main shaft of the flowmeter, and users can precisely control the position of the main shaft of the flowmeter by rotating the adjusting cap, thereby adjusting the flow.

[0007] Flow indicator guide rod and water inlet tray: The flow indicator guide rod is arranged inside the main shaft of the flowmeter, and the water inlet tray is installed at the lower end of the guide rod. When hot water flows into the branch pipe, the water inlet tray is impacted by the water flow, causing the guide rod to move upward, and the current flow rate is indicated through the annular disc.

[0008] Flowmeter glass housing and scale: The flowmeter glass housing is wrapped and arranged above the flow indicator guide rod and the water inlet tray, and clear scales are set on the outside for visually displaying the flow rate.

[0009] Marking ring: The marking ring is installed on the adjusting cap. After the user adjusts to the ideal flow rate, the user can rotate the marking ring to remember the current position. There are grooves designed inside the marking ring, which are used in cooperation with the octagonal nut on the base to achieve the position locking function.

[0010] Furthermore, a front convex part of the marking ring is arranged on the upper side of the marking ring.

[0011] Furthermore, an adjusting cap nose part is arranged on the adjusting cap.

[0012] The adjusting cap nose part is designed as a convex structure, and this convex part can accurately dock with the front convex part of the marking ring. After the user reaches the ideal flow rate setting by rotating the adjusting cap, the marking ring is adjusted to the position aligned with the adjusting cap nose part. This alignment marks the specific position of the flow rate setting, enabling the user to quickly rotate the adjusting cap to the marked position after the valve core is closed and reopened, immediately restoring to the previous flow rate setting.

[0013] The front convex part of the marking ring is designed to accurately dock with the adjusting cap nose part. This docking helps the user determine the exact position when the adjusting cap reaches the ideal flow rate setting, thus achieving precise control and repeatability.

[0014] The technical solution of the present utility model has the following beneficial effects: By integrating the flowmeter, the present utility model enables the user to visually see the actual flow rate of each branch, so that the flow rate can be accurately adjusted to the required value. This precise flow rate control is crucial for ensuring the temperature balance in each area, improving energy efficiency, and optimizing the performance of the entire heating system.

[0015] The design of the marking ring allows the user to mark after finding the ideal flow rate setting. In this way, when readjustment is needed, the user can quickly and accurately restore to the previous setting without having to perform complex readjustment again. This function is particularly useful after system maintenance or adjustment, significantly reducing the operation complexity and the required time. Description of the Drawings

[0021] Combined with the specific embodiment below, the technical solution of the present utility model will be further explained.

[0022] The purpose of the present utility model is to design a diverter valve core with a flow meter for floor heating and cooling units, which can be used to adjust and display the flow rate in the manifold, and has a memory function. After closing the valve core, it can still quickly adjust to the optimal flow rate position, aiming at the customers' hope to quickly adjust to the best flow rate of floor heating.

[0023] The diverter valve core with a flow meter is designed with a glass shell with a reading and a marking ring. The optimal flow rate required for floor heating can be calculated, adjusted through the diverter valve core with a flow meter, and it can be judged whether the optimal flow rate is reached by the reading on the glass shell, and then marked with the marking ring. When the valve core needs to be closed later and then opened, only by adjusting the cap to the position marked by the marking ring can the optimal flow rate required for floor heating be achieved.

[0024] A diverter valve core 1 with a flow meter is fixed on the upper main body of the manifold through the thread 16 on the base 2. The flow meter main shaft 3 is matched with the internal thread 17 of the base 2 through the thread. The adjusting cap 4 is fixed to the flow meter main shaft 2 through the groove 18. The flow meter main shaft 3 is driven by the adjusting cap 4 to rotate up and down on the base 2 through the thread, controlling the distance that the thread main shaft 3 extends into the branch pipe, so as to adjust the flow rate of hot water from the main pipe to the branch pipe. The flow indicating guide rod 5 is installed on the flow meter main shaft 2, and the water inlet disc 6 is fixed on the flow indicating guide rod 5. When the water inlet disc 6 and the flow indicating guide rod 5 extend into the branch pipe along with the flow meter main shaft 2, when hot water flows into the branch pipe, the water inlet disc 6 is impacted by the hot water, driving the flow indicating guide rod 5 to compress the return spring 7. The current flow rate in the branch pipe can be reflected by the annular disc 8 on the flow indicating guide rod pointing to the corresponding scale 10 on the flow meter glass shell 9.

[0025] By calculating the optimal flow rate required for floor heating, turn the adjustment knob 4 until the flow meter shows the optimal flow rate value. Then turn the marking ring 11 so that the front protruding part 12 of the marking ring rotates onto the nose 13 of the adjustment knob. There is a groove 14 inside the marking ring 11. After turning to the position, press downwards, and it is fixed to the octagonal nut 15 on the base 2 through the groove 14 inside the marking ring 11, thus achieving the memory function. When it is necessary to close the flow meter valve core subsequently, just turn the adjustment knob 4 again so that the nose 13 of the adjustment knob rotates to the position of the front protruding part 12 of the marking ring to reach the optimal flow rate value.

[0026] The marking ring (11) is installed above or around the adjustment knob (4) to form a relationship where it can rotate but is positioned relative to the adjustment knob. This configuration allows the marking ring to mark its position independently of the adjustment knob without affecting the normal rotation of the adjustment knob for flow rate adjustment.

[0027] Internal groove: One or more grooves (14) are designed inside the marking ring. These grooves are used to cooperate with the octagonal nut (15) or other protruding parts on the base (2) to achieve the locking function of the marking ring.

[0028] The user first adjusts the position of the flow meter main shaft (3) by rotating the adjustment knob (4), thereby changing the water flow rate in the branch pipe. During this process, the scale (10) on the glass housing (9) of the flow meter will display the current flow rate. Once the user finds the ideal flow rate setting, they can record this position by turning the marking ring (11). When turning the marking ring, the marking ring moves independently of the adjustment knob without affecting the set flow rate. After the user turns the marking ring to the ideal position, they can press the marking ring to dock the internal groove (14) with the octagonal nut (15) on the base, thereby locking the position of the marking ring. This locking ensures that the position of the marking ring is fixed. Even after the valve core is closed and reopened, the previously set optimal flow rate can be quickly restored by simply adjusting the adjustment knob to the locked position of the marking ring.
