DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application. Furthermore, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application may be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.
[0021] Figure 1 FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a pressure valve device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the pressure valve device 100 is mainly composed of a solenoid valve 10, a first valve body 20, a second valve body 30 and a return pipe 40. The first valve body 20 and the second valve body 30 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the solenoid valve 10 and connected to the solenoid valve 10. A return pipe 40 is also connected between the first valve body 20 and the second valve body 30.
[0022] See also Figure 1 Combine Figure 2As shown, the solenoid valve 10 is a three-way valve having a first port 11, a second port 12, and a wastewater outlet 13. The first port 11 and the second port 12 are located on opposite sides of the solenoid valve 10 and communicate with the first valve body 20 and the second valve body 30 located on the left and right sides of the solenoid valve 10, respectively. The wastewater outlet 13 is located at the bottom of the solenoid valve 10. When the solenoid valve 10 is energized, the first port 11 and the second port 12 are connected. When the solenoid valve 10 is de-energized, the first port 11 is connected to the wastewater outlet 13. For further information, see Figure 2 Combine Figure 3 As shown, the first valve body 20 has a first valve chamber 21, a first water inlet port 22, a first water outlet port 23, and a first return port 24. The first water inlet port 22 extends transversely to the front side of the first valve body 20. One end of the first water inlet port 22 communicates with the first valve chamber 21, and the other end is connected to an external water supply source, such as a water pump. The first water outlet port 23 extends transversely to the left side of the first valve body 20. One end of the first water outlet port 23 communicates with the first valve chamber 21, and the other end communicates with the first port 11 of the solenoid valve 10. The first return port 24 extends longitudinally to the lower portion of the first valve body 20. One end of the first return port 24 communicates with the first valve chamber 21 via a first one-way valve 25. The first one-way valve 25 only opens the passage between the first return port 24 and the first valve chamber 21 in the direction from the first return port 24 to the first valve chamber 21. The other end of the first return port 24 communicates with the second end 42 of the return pipe 40.
[0023] See also Figure 2 Combine Figure 4 As shown, the second valve body 30 has a second valve chamber 31, a second water inlet port 32, a second water outlet port 34, and a second return port 37. The second water inlet port 32 extends transversely to the right side of the second valve body 30. One end of the second water inlet port 32 communicates with the second valve chamber 31 via a second one-way valve 33. The second one-way valve 33 only opens the passage between the second water inlet port 32 and the second valve chamber 31 in the direction from the second water inlet port 32 to the second valve chamber 31. The other end of the second water inlet port 32 communicates with the second port 12 of the solenoid valve 10 to receive water delivered from the first water outlet port 23 of the first valve body 20 through the solenoid valve 10 when the solenoid valve 10 is energized. The second water outlet port 34 extends longitudinally to the lower portion of the second valve body 30. One end of the second water outlet port 34 communicates with the second valve chamber 31, and the other end extends transversely from the lower portion of the second valve body 30 to facilitate connection to an external load device. The second return port 37 extends laterally and is arranged on the rear side of the second valve body 30. One end of the second return port 37 is connected to the second valve chamber 31, and the other end is connected to the first end 41 of the return pipe 40, and then connected to the first return port 24 of the first valve body 10 through the second end 42 of the return pipe 40.
[0024] In the pressure valve device 100 thus configured, water flows from the first water inlet port 22 of the first valve body 20 into the first valve chamber 21 (see Figure 1 As shown by the arrow 51 in the middle, due to the presence of the first one-way valve 25, water can only flow from the first water outlet port 23 through the first port 11 of the solenoid valve 10 into the solenoid valve 10. When the solenoid valve 10 is energized and the first port 11 and the second port 12 are connected, water flows through the second port 12 into the second water inlet port 32 of the second valve body 30. The water pressure opens the second one-way valve 33 and flows into the second valve chamber 31. Then, the water flows through the second water outlet port 34 into the external load device to perform work (see Figure 1 As shown by the arrow 52 in the middle). The load device does work, and the pressure required is different in different situations and needs to be adjusted. For this purpose, see Figure 2 As shown, the second valve body 30 is further provided with a pressure regulating port 35. The pressure regulating port 35 is arranged to extend transversely on the front side of the second valve body 30. One end of the pressure regulating port 35 is connected to the second valve cavity 31 through a third one-way valve 36. The third one-way valve 36 only opens the passage between the second valve cavity 31 and the pressure regulating port 35 in the direction from the second valve cavity 31 to the pressure regulating port 35, thereby serving as a pressure relief device for the constant pressure water system (see Figure 1 Indicated by the arrow 53 in the middle). According to different embodiments of the present application, the third one-way valve 36 is an optional option, and the third one-way valve 36 may not be set between the pressure regulating port 35 and the second valve chamber 31. By connecting an external pressure regulator at the other end of the pressure regulating port 35, a real-time variable pressure water system can also be realized, which has a wider range of applications. When the load device completes its work and the water inflow stops, the solenoid valve 10 is powered off and connected to the first port 11 and the wastewater outlet 13. The water pressure in the second valve body 30 opens the first one-way valve 25 through the reflux path composed of the second reflux port 37, the reflux pipe 40 and the first reflux port 24 to automatically release the pressure. The wastewater in the second valve body 30 is discharged from the wastewater outlet 13 of the solenoid valve 10 through the reflux path (see Figure 1 (indicated by arrow 55). The pressure valve device 100 according to the above-described embodiment of the present application can automatically release pressure in the water circuit after the load has completed work, thereby preventing dripping from the second water outlet port 34. The water circuit of the pressure valve device 100 according to the above-described embodiment of the present application can be set to a maximum output pressure, thereby precisely controlling the specific optimal extraction pressure of a load device such as a coffee machine. Furthermore, the pressure regulating port 35, combined with a visual pressure gauge and a pressure regulating valve, can manually adjust the pressure, allowing professional baristas to manually fine-tune the coffee for each individual coffee, ultimately achieving the ultimate in taste and quality.
[0025] According to further embodiments of the present application, see Figure 1 Combine Figure 2As shown, the first valve body 10 is further provided with a multi-way expansion port 26, one end of which is connected to the first valve chamber 21, and the other end of which can be connected to a set of expansion water channels with a conduction pressure lower than that of the second one-way valve 33 (see Figure 1 (Indicated by arrow 54 in the middle). When the water pressure entering the first valve body 20 from the first input port 22 is lower than the conduction pressure of the second one-way valve 33 between the second water inlet port 32 and the second valve chamber 31 of the second valve body 30, the water will enter the extended water path through the multi-way expansion port 26, achieving the function of multiple pressure outputs of a single pressure valve device. Therefore, if the first valve body 10 is not provided with a multi-way expansion port 26, the second one-way valve 33 is not required.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
