Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rehabilitation equipment, in particular to a one-way check valve. Background Art

[0002] A one-way valve can also be called a check valve or a non-return valve. The check valve is opened and closed by the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the valve. It is usually used in hydraulic or pneumatic systems to prevent oil or gas from flowing back. In rehabilitation equipment and medical equipment, if the one-way valve fails or is blocked, it must be replaced in time, which will cause serious accidents. Replacing the one-way valve will invisibly increase the cost of use.

[0003] A plunger pump check valve is currently available on the market and includes a valve body, a steel ball, a spring, and a spring seat. The valve body has an oil inlet and an oil outlet, and a valve seat disposed therebetween. The spring is disposed between the spring seat and the steel ball, with an oil outlet hole at its center. The steel ball is pressed against the valve seat under the action of the spring force. The valve body also has a flow hole with a diameter larger than the oil outlet and adjacent to the oil outlet. The spring seat is provided with at least two oil grooves communicating with the flow hole. The flow hole adjacent to the oil outlet increases the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the valve body cavity. The oil grooves are provided on the outer circumference of the spring seat to facilitate the flow of pressurized oil from the oil outlet. While this solves the problem of the steel ball clogging the oil outlet hole under excessive pressure, causing the check valve to abnormally close, and improves its reliability, the plunger pump check valve has a complex structure and is relatively large, making it unsuitable for use in thinner pipelines. If the size is reduced, reliability cannot be guaranteed.
