The existing servo valve has only one flow channel, which makes it impossible to continue to use when the flow channel fails, thereby increasing system downtime and reducing service effect.

Method used

A servo valve with a backup flow path is designed. The switching between the normal flow path and the backup flow path is achieved through a rotatable valve core and a power assembly, ensuring that the flow can be quickly switched to the backup flow path for flow control when the normal flow path fails.

Benefits of technology

When the common flow path fails, switching to the backup flow path can reduce downtime and maintenance time, and achieve precise control and rapid recovery of fluid flow.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a servo valve with a spare flow channel. Background Art

[0002] A servo valve is a device used to control fluid flow and pressure. It's commonly used in hydraulic systems to precisely control the flow and direction of fluids by adjusting the position of a valve core. A servo valve uses mechanical or electromagnetic technology to control the movement of the valve core. In hydraulic systems, a servo valve is typically driven by a control signal (such as current or pressure) to respond to user demands for fluid flow and pressure. By changing the position of the valve core, a servo valve can adjust or cut off fluid flow, thereby achieving precise control of the hydraulic system.

[0003] Current servo valves usually have only one flow channel, which means that when the outlet flow channel of the servo valve fails and needs to be repaired, the servo valve can no longer be used, which increases the duration of system interruption or downtime and reduces the effectiveness of use.

[0004] The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the present disclosure and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to design a servo valve with a spare flow channel, which can quickly restore flow control after the normal flow channel is damaged, thereby reducing the downtime for repairing the normal flow channel, so as to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies in the technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a servo valve with a spare flow channel, comprising a valve body, an inlet flow channel fixedly connected to one side of the valve body, an outlet flow channel fixedly connected to the other side of the valve body, and a rotatable valve core installed in the valve body, the outlet flow channel is composed of a common flow channel and a spare flow channel, the valve core includes a rotating body and a liquid groove opened on one side of the rotating body, and the rotating body adjusts one of the common flow channel or the spare flow channel to be connected or closed with the inlet flow channel by rotating in the valve body.

[0007] Preferably, the valve body and the rotating body are configured as a sphere as a whole, and the liquid passage groove is configured as a vertically opened arc.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the arc-shaped liquid-passing groove are rounded on one side close to the central axis of the rotating body.

[0009] Preferably, a transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the rotator, and a power component for controlling the rotation direction of the transmission shaft is installed on the top of the transmission shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the power assembly includes a gear connected to the top of the transmission shaft, a rack meshing on one side of the gear, a hydraulic rod arranged at one end of the rack, and a connecting rod arranged at the other end of the gear. The output end of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the end of the rack, and the other end of the hydraulic rod passes through the connecting rod and is slidably connected to the connecting rod. The connecting rod, the hydraulic rod, the inlet channel and the outlet channel are fixedly connected to a shell, and the shell can be opened.

[0011] Preferably, the gear of the power assembly is fixed to the rotating shaft by a latch, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the utility model are:

[0013] 1. When the main line of the common flow channel fails and needs maintenance, this product only needs to close the valve and connect the pipe connecting the outside world to the common flow channel with the spare flow channel. Then, the flow rate can be controlled by using the coordination between the spare flow channel and the inlet flow channel, thus reducing the downtime for maintenance of the common flow channel.

[0014] 2. To adjust the flow rate of the fluid, you only need to adjust the angle of the rotating body so that the inlet and outlet channels coincide with the liquid groove. Then, adjust the overlapping area of ​​one of the inlet or outlet channels and the liquid groove. The larger the overlapping area, the greater the flow rate, thereby achieving precise control of the fluid flow rate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] In order to help those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] Example:

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a spherical valve body 1, an inlet channel 2 fixedly connected to one side of the valve body 1, an outlet channel 3 fixedly connected to the other side of the valve body 1, and a rotatable spherical valve core 4 installed in the valve body 1, the outlet channel 3 is composed of a common channel 301 and a spare channel 302, the valve core 4 includes a rotating body 401 and an arc-shaped liquid groove 402 opened on one side of the rotating body 401, a transmission shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating body 401, a gear 601 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission shaft 5, a rack 602 is meshed with one side of the gear 601, one end of the rack 602 passes through and is slidably connected to a connecting rod 604, and the other end is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod 603, and an openable shell 605 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 604, the inlet channel 2, and the outlet channel 3 hydraulic rod 603.

[0026] During operation, by manipulating the output shaft of the hydraulic rod 603 to extend or shorten, the rack 602 is driven to move laterally, and the rack 602 drives the gear 601 to rotate, and the gear 601 drives the transmission shaft 5 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 5 drives the rotating body 401 to rotate in the valve body 1. When the liquid groove 402 on one side of the rotating body 401 rotates to between the common flow channel 301 and the inlet flow channel 2, so that the inlet flow channel 2 and the common flow channel 301 are connected, the valve is opened. If the liquid groove 402 is only connected to the inlet flow channel 2, the valve is closed. When the common flow channel 301 fails and needs maintenance, it is only necessary to close the valve first, and then connect the pipeline connected to the common flow channel 301 from the outside world with the spare flow channel 302, and then operate the output shaft of the hydraulic rod 603 to move, so that the inlet flow channel 2 and the spare flow channel 302 are connected through the liquid groove 402.

[0027] To adjust the flow rate of the fluid, you only need to adjust the angle of the rotating body 401 so that the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3 overlap with the liquid groove 402. Then, adjust the overlapping area of ​​one of the inlet channel 2 or the outlet channel 3 and the liquid groove 402. The larger the overlapping area, the greater the flow rate, thereby achieving precise control of the fluid flow rate.

[0028] Finally, a few points should be explained: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, and may refer to mechanical or electrical connections, internal communication between two components, or direct connection.
