Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water softening equipment, and particularly relates to an electric bypass valve. Background Art
[0002] On the water softener and softening control valve on the market, a section of bypass valve is usually connected to the water inlet and outlet. When the bypass valve is in the working position, raw water enters from the bypass valve inlet, flows through the control valve, exits from the control valve outlet, and then flows out through the bypass valve outlet. When the bypass valve is in the bypass position, raw water enters from the bypass valve inlet and directly flows out from the bypass valve outlet without passing through the control valve.
[0003] However, this technical solution still has deficiencies. The existing bypass valve uses manual control, with a large torque and difficult rotation. There is a lack of an electric control bypass valve, which is very inconvenient to use. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the defects and deficiencies in the prior art, and design an electric bypass valve with a simple structure, stable and reliable, convenient and effective, improving efficiency, and saving manpower and material resources.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an electric bypass valve, including a valve body, and a valve core arranged inside the valve body and capable of rotating under the action of a driving component. The switching between the working position and the bypass position of the valve body can be realized by the rotation of the valve core. The driving component includes a driving motor and a gear transmission component connected to the driving motor. The gear transmission component includes a valve position gear connected to the valve core. A driving plate switch is arranged on one side of the valve position gear. When the valve core rotates to the working position or the bypass position, the valve position gear can abut against the driving plate switch.
[0006] Preferably, the cross-section of the valve body is designed in an H shape, including a first pipeline, a second pipeline, and a third pipeline connecting the first pipeline and the second pipeline.
[0007] Preferably, one end of the first pipeline is the water inlet, and the other end is connected to the control valve. One end of the second pipeline is the water outlet, and the other end is connected to the control valve. The valve core is arranged at the connection of the first pipeline and the third pipeline.
[0008] Preferably, a check valve is further arranged at the end of the second pipeline connected to the control valve.
[0009] Preferably, the driving component is installed on a bracket, and a driving control switch is further arranged on the bracket. Both the driving control switch and the driving plate switch are signal-connected to the driving motor.
[0010] Preferably, the gear transmission assembly further includes a motor gear disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor, and a transmission gear meshed between the motor gear and the valve position gear.
[0011] Preferably, two abutting portions are provided on the valve position gear and are adapted to cooperate with the drive plate switch. When the valve core rotates to the working position or the bypass position, the corresponding abutting portions abut against the drive plate switch respectively.
[0012] After adopting the above technical solution, an electric bypass valve provided by the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The structure of the present utility model is simple. It can be automatically switched between two working conditions of the working position and the bypass position by the drive motor, which saves time and effort.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of them. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and in no way limits the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0022] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present utility model. At the same time, it should be understood that for the sake of convenience of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn in actual proportional relationship. Technologies, methods, and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the authorized specification. In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0023] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation terms such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" generally indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. Without contrary description, these orientation terms do not indicate and imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model; the orientation terms "inside, outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of each component itself.
[0024] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above", "over", "on the upper surface", "upper" etc. can be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature shown in the figure with other devices or features. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, the device described as "above or over other devices or structures" will then be positioned "below or under other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both the orientations of "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the corresponding explanations are made for the spatial relative descriptions used here.
[0025] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first", "second" etc. to define components is only for the convenience of differentiating the corresponding components.

[0026] An electric bypass valve of the present utility model, as Figures 1-5 shown, includes a valve body 2, and a valve core 1 disposed inside the valve body 2 and capable of rotating under the action of a driving assembly. By rotating the valve core 1, the switching between the working position and the bypass position of the valve body 2 can be achieved. Specifically, the cross-section of the valve body 2 is designed in an H shape, including a first pipeline, a second pipeline, and a third pipeline connecting the first pipeline and the second pipeline. One end of the first pipeline is a water inlet, and the other end is connected to a control valve. One end of the second pipeline is a water outlet, and the other end is connected to a control valve. The valve core 1 is disposed at the connection of the first pipeline and the third pipeline and is used to close or communicate the passage between the first pipeline and the third pipeline. A check valve 3 is further disposed at the end of the second pipeline connected to the control valve to prevent backflow into the control valve.
[0027] The driving assembly is mounted on a bracket 5, and includes a driving motor and a gear transmission assembly connected to the driving motor. The driving motor is powered by a circuit or by a battery alone. The gear transmission assembly includes a valve position gear 7 connected to the valve core 1, and also includes a motor gear 9 arranged on an output shaft of the driving motor, and a transmission gear 8 meshing between the motor gear 9 and the valve position gear 7. A driving plate switch 6 is arranged on one side of the valve position gear 7. When the valve core 1 rotates to a working position or a bypass position, the valve position gear 7 can abut against the driving plate switch 6. Specifically, two abutting portions that cooperate with the driving plate switch 6 are provided on the valve position gear 7. When the valve core 1 rotates to a working position or a bypass position, the corresponding abutting portions abut against the driving plate switch 6 respectively. A driving control switch 4 is also arranged on the bracket 5. The driving control switch 4 and the driving plate switch 6 are both connected to the driving motor signal.
[0028] The use process of the electric bypass valve of the utility model is as follows:
[0029] When the bypass valve is required to be in the working position: first, power on, the electric bypass valve will automatically go to the working position or bypass position. If it is in the bypass position, turn on the drive control switch 4, start the drive motor to drive the motor gear 9 to rotate clockwise, the motor gear 9 drives the transmission gear 8 to rotate counterclockwise, and the transmission gear 8 drives the valve position gear 7 to rotate clockwise (by Figure 5 Switch to Figure 3 State), the valve position gear 7 drives the valve core 1 to the working position. After reaching the position, an abutment part on the valve position gear 7 will touch the drive plate switch 6, and the drive plate switch 6 sends a signal to control the drive motor to stop. At this time, the electric bypass valve is in the working position, and the whole system is in the disconnected state, with zero power consumption.
[0030] When the bypass valve needs to be switched from the working position to the bypass position: toggle the drive control switch 4, start the drive motor to rotate counterclockwise, drive the motor gear 9 to rotate counterclockwise, the motor gear 9 drives the transmission gear 8 to rotate clockwise, the transmission gear 8 drives the valve position gear 7 to rotate counterclockwise, the valve position gear 7 drives the valve core 1 to rotate counterclockwise to the bypass position (by Figure 3 Switch to Figure 5 State), another abutment part on the valve position gear 7 will touch the drive plate switch 6, and the drive plate switch 6 sends a signal to control the drive motor to stop. At this time, the electric bypass valve is in the bypass position, and the entire system is in the disconnected state, with zero power consumption.
[0031] In summary, the electric bypass valve provided by the present utility model has a simple structure. It can be automatically switched between the working position and the bypass position through the driving motor, saving time and effort. Through the design of the driving plate switch, when the valve core rotates to the working position or the bypass position, the motor can be controlled to stop rotating, and the entire system is in a disconnected and zero-power consumption state, which is safe, energy-saving and environmentally friendly. It has the advantages of convenient installation and maintenance, convenient operation, stable and reliable performance, improved efficiency, and saving of manpower and material resources. It has great market value and is worthy of wide promotion and application.
[0032] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, making equivalent substitutions or changes should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
