[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of make-up valves, and more specifically, to a vertical make-up type inlet valve. Background Technique
[0002] The inlet valve in a wall-mounted boiler is the water inlet channel for tap water inlet and heating return water, and at the same time integrates external connection interfaces such as a flow sensor, a make-up valve, a pressure sensor, a water pump, etc. And in order to maintain the stability of the water pressure in the system, a flow stabilization device and a flow limiting device are also provided inside the inlet valve. Tap water passes through the flow stabilization device, the flow limiting device and the flow sensor in sequence.
[0003] The current wall-mounted boiler inlet valves have the following problems. In some inlet valves, a flow stabilization device cannot be installed, and the flow sensor is installed after the flow limiting device. After the water flow is limited by flow limiting devices of different models, the water flow velocity is different under the same flow rate, resulting in a large deviation in the output frequency of the flow sensor, so that the actual inlet water flow and the electric signal controlling the gas valve cannot be synchronized proportionally. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve this. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, and provide a vertical make-up type inlet valve. By placing the flow sensor in front, after the tap water enters the inlet valve, it first passes through the flow sensor and then through the flow limiting device, which can effectively solve the problem that the output frequency of the flow sensor is different after being limited by flow limiting devices of different models.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0025] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0026] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a vertical water replenishing type inlet valve includes a valve body 1. The valve body 1 includes a water inlet interface 11, a horizontally arranged first installation cavity 12, a plate heat exchanger inlet 13, a plate heat exchanger outlet 14, and a water pump interface 15. A flow sensor 2 is installed in the first installation cavity 12, and a flow limiting device 4 is installed in the plate heat exchanger inlet 13. The flow limiting device 4 includes a flow limiting cover 42 and a flow limiting inner core 43. The flow limiting inner core 43 is installed in the flow limiting cover 42. The outside of the plate heat exchanger inlet 13 communicates with the first installation cavity 12 through the gap between the flow limiting inner core 43 and the flow limiting cover 42. The water inlet interface 11 is located below the first installation cavity 12, and the plate heat exchanger inlet 13 is located on the side of the first installation cavity 12.

The flow sensor 2 is a prior art, and its specific structure will not be elaborated in this specification.
[0027] During use, tap water enters the first installation cavity 12 from the water inlet interface 11 and pushes the impeller 21 in the first installation cavity 12 to rotate. After passing through the first installation cavity 12, it flows out of the plate heat exchanger inlet 13 through the gap between the flow limiting inner core 43 and the flow limiting cover 42 and enters the plate heat exchanger (not shown in the figure). By placing the flow sensor 2 in front of the flow limiting device 4, without installing a flow stabilizing device inside the valve body 1, it can effectively avoid the different output frequencies of the flow sensor 2 caused by the different water flow speeds of different types of flow limiting devices, and can effectively ensure the stable operation of the wall-mounted boiler system.

[0029] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, when assembling the current-limiting device 4, first, the second sealing ring 44 is sleeved on the outer side of the current-limiting inner core 43, then the current-limiting inner core 43 is embedded into the current-limiting cover 42, and the second annular rib 431 and the current-limiting cover 42 are tightly fitted and clamped. Then, the current-limiting cover 42 with the current-limiting inner core 43 installed is embedded into the housing 41 and fixed. The current-limiting principle of the current-limiting device 4 is prior art, so it will not be elaborated in this specification.
[0030] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a first sealing ring 5 is installed in the plate heat exchanger inlet 13.

[0031] A second sealing ring 6 is installed in the plate heat exchanger outlet 14, and the second sealing ring 6 is the same as the first sealing ring 5.
[0032] As Figure 3 shown, a water inlet joint 7 is installed in the water inlet interface 11, and a filter screen 8 is installed in the water inlet joint 7. The water inlet joint 7 can be connected to an external pipeline. By setting the filter screen 8, the tap water entering the first installation cavity 12 can be filtered.
[0033] As Figure 3As shown, the valve body 1 further includes a second installation cavity 16, a first water replenishing channel 17, a second water replenishing channel 18, and a third water replenishing channel 19.

The second water replenishing channel 18 and the third water replenishing channel 19 are communicated. The third water replenishing channel 19 is communicated with the water pump interface 15. The first installation cavity 12, the first water replenishing channel 17, the second water replenishing channel 18, the third water replenishing channel 19, and the water pump interface 15 form a water replenishing waterway. Specifically, the second installation cavity 16 and the second water replenishing channel 18 are coaxially arranged. The water replenishing valve stem 3 includes a boss 31 at its upper end.

The water replenishing valve stem 3 and the connecting cavity 161 are connected by threads.
[0034] When it is necessary to replenish water to the pipeline of the water pump, rotate the water replenishing valve stem 3. The water replenishing valve stem 3 descends, and the first water replenishing channel 17 and the second water replenishing channel 18 are communicated, so that the water replenishing waterway is communicated, and tap water can flow from the first installation cavity 12 into the water pump interface 15 for water replenishment.
[0035] The opening 422 of the second installation cavity 16 is arranged downward. The first water replenishing channel 17 and the third water replenishing channel 19 are arranged horizontally, and the second water replenishing channel 18 is arranged vertically. The lower ends of the first water replenishing channel 17 and the second water replenishing channel 18 can be communicated or blocked. The third water replenishing channel 19 is communicated with the upper end of the second water replenishing channel 18. It can be seen that in this embodiment, it is a vertical water replenishment. The water replenishing valve stem 3 is arranged vertically and can be reliably matched with the bottom plate of the wall-mounted boiler (not shown in the figure), which is convenient for sealing between the water replenishing valve stem 3 and the bottom plate of the wall-mounted boiler. And the orientations of the water replenishing valve stem 3 and the water inlet joint 7 are set to be the same, which is beneficial to the packaging and transportation of the water inlet valve.
