[0026] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the equipment is first debugged by the staff and then installed on the sewer pipe.
[0027] Please refer to the attached Figure 2 、 3 As shown in the figure, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the execution end of the driving valve 10 is connected to the valve 13 through a connecting plate, the side wall of the valve 13 is provided with an opening and closing component 14, one end of the shell 11 is provided with a sealing component 15, the outer wall of the shell 11 is provided with a pre-tightening mechanism 20, the opening and closing component 14 includes a solenoid valve 141 provided on the side wall of the valve 13, the solenoid valve 141 is electrically connected to the PLC controller, the sealing component 15 includes a sealing airbag 151 embedded in the inner wall of the shell 11 and the execution end is in contact with the outer wall of the valve 13, and the sealing airbag 151 is externally connected to an air pump.
[0028] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the valve 13 needs to be closed, the driving valve 10 is started to drive the valve 13 to move in the inner chamber 12 until one of the water outlets is closed. After the valve 13 is closed, the air pump is first started to inflate the sealing airbag 151 to inflate the sealing airbag 151 and fit it against the outer wall of the valve 13 for secondary sealing.
[0029] Please refer to the attached Figure 2 、 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pre-tightening mechanism 20 includes two fixed blocks 21 symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the shell 11 with the center of the shell 11 as the axis, the tops of the two fixed blocks 21 are respectively provided with auxiliary components 22, and the tops of the two fixed blocks 21 are respectively provided with clamping components 23. The auxiliary components 22 include an electric telescopic rod 221 arranged on the top of the fixed block 21, and the execution end of the electric telescopic rod 221 is provided with a clamping block 222. The electric telescopic rod 221 is electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the clamping component 23 includes a movable groove 231 arranged on the top of the fixed block 21, and the movable groove 231 is electrically connected to the column shaped rod 232, one end of the cylindrical rod 232 is embedded with a sensing component 233, the outer wall of the cylindrical rod 232 is embedded with a card slot 234, the sensing component 233 includes an embedding groove 2331 embedded in one end of the cylindrical rod 232, a spring 2332 is provided at the bottom of the embedding groove 2331, one end of the spring 2332 is connected to the abutment block 2333, and a plurality of trigger rods 2334 are provided in a circular array on the side wall of the abutment block 2333. The side of the abutment block 2333 near the embedding groove 2331 is chamfered, and the top side of the embedding groove 2331 is also chamfered. The diameter of the abutment block 2333 is smaller than the diameter of the embedding groove 2331.
[0030] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the motor is then used to drive the cylindrical rod 232 to move in the movable groove 231, driving the cylindrical rod 232 to be inserted into the corresponding slot of the valve 13 to fix the position of the valve 13, and then the electric telescopic rod 221 is started to drive the clamping block 222 to move into the clamping groove 234 to fix the cylindrical rod 232 for a second time. When the position of the valve 13 is slightly offset after a long period of use, the cylindrical rod 232 will first touch the outer wall of the valve 13 before inserting into the corresponding slot. At this time, the abutment block 2333 will tilt because it cannot be smoothly inserted into the slot. At this time, the inclined surface of the abutment block 2333 The corresponding trigger rod 2334 first touches the bottom of the embedded groove 2331, resulting in different force data on the multiple trigger rods 2334. At this time, the motor drives the cylindrical rod 232 to return to its original position, and the spring 2332 simultaneously returns the abutment block 2333 to its original position, preventing damage to the outer wall of the valve 13. The data from the trigger rod 2334 is now transmitted to the PLC controller, which analyzes the data and then opens the solenoid valve 141. Water flows out of the solenoid valve 141. Due to the high pressure in the pipeline, this exerts an impact force on the valve 13, pushing the valve 13 into the correct position. The cylindrical rod 232 is then quickly inserted into the slot of the valve 13. The locking block 222 is then inserted into the locking groove 234 to secure the cylindrical rod 232 again and inflate the sealing airbag 151. At the same time, the problem of valve 13 deviation is reported to the back-end, notifying the staff for maintenance. This operation can restore the valve 13 to its original position and reseal it through the coordination of multiple devices when the valve 13 deviates slightly, achieving a pre-tightening and protective effect.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is:
[0032] The electrical components in the utility model are all triggered to operate by the PLC controller.
[0033] First, the staff will debug the equipment and then install the equipment on the sewer pipe. When the valve 13 needs to be closed, the driving valve 10 is started to drive the valve 13 to move in the inner chamber 12 until one of the water outlets is closed. When the valve 13 is closed, the air pump is first started to inflate the sealing airbag 151 to swell the sealing airbag 151 and fit the outer wall of the valve 13 for secondary sealing. Then, the motor is used to drive the cylindrical rod 232 to move in the movable groove 231, drive the cylindrical rod 232 to be inserted into the corresponding slot hole of the valve 13, and fix the position of the valve 13. Then, the electric telescopic rod 221 is started to drive the block 222 to move into the slot 234, and the cylindrical rod 232 is fixed for a secondary time. When the position of the valve 13 is slightly offset after a long period of use, the cylindrical rod 232 is inserted into the corresponding slot hole before being inserted into the corresponding slot hole. The abutment block 2333 will first touch the outer wall of the valve 13. At this time, the abutment block 2333 will tilt because it cannot be smoothly inserted into the slot. At this time, the trigger rod 2334 corresponding to the inclined surface of the abutment block 2333 will first touch the bottom of the embedded slot 2331, so that the force data of the multiple trigger rods 2334 are different. At this time, the motor drives the cylindrical rod 232 to return to its original position. At the same time, the spring 2332 will restore the abutment block 2333 to its original position to prevent damage to the outer wall of the valve 13. At this time, the data of the trigger rod 2334 is sent to the PLC controller, the PLC controller analyzes the data, and then opens the solenoid valve 141. Water will rush out of the solenoid valve 141. Because the pressure in the pipeline is very high, an impact force will be generated on the valve 13 to correct the position of the valve 13, and then the cylindrical rod 232 will be quickly inserted into the valve 13. The slot hole of the valve 13 is inserted into the card block 222, and the card slot 234 is inserted into the card block 222 to fix the cylindrical rod 232 for the second time and inflate the sealing airbag 151. At the same time, the problem of the valve 13 being offset is fed back to the background, and the staff is informed to carry out maintenance. The above operation can restore the valve 13 to its original state and seal it again through the cooperation of multiple devices when the valve 13 is slightly offset to achieve the effect of pre-tightening and protection.
