Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquefied petroleum gas cylinder valves, and more particularly to a liquefied petroleum gas cylinder valve capable of being remotely controlled to open and close. Background Art
[0002] A liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder valve is a valve installed on a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder to control the flow of gas. Commonly referred to as a "bottle valve," it serves as the cylinder's inlet and outlet control device and is essential for connecting to a pressure reducing valve. During use, a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder valve typically incorporates a self-closing device within the valve outlet. This device automatically opens when connected to a gas charging device (or pressure regulator) and automatically closes when the gas charging device (or pressure regulator) is removed.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors found that most of the safety accidents caused by liquefied petroleum gas leakage are caused by hose leakage or connection problems or the ignition valve is not in the open state. Basically, the leakage points are behind the bottle valve, so the self-closing device cannot solve the actual fundamental problem. The overall safety of use is poor, and liquefied petroleum gas cylinders need to be inspected regularly, while traditional cylinder valves cannot realize remote control functions and cannot actively close the valves, making it inconvenient to use. Therefore, in view of this, research and improvement are carried out on the existing structure to provide a liquefied petroleum gas cylinder valve that can be remotely controlled to open and close, in order to achieve a more practical purpose.

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; it is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] See Figure 5 The rocker arm fixed gear 8 and the fixed gear shaft 9 are rotationally connected through a ball bearing 13, and the movable gear shaft 11 and the rocker arm movable gear 12 are rotationally connected through a needle clutch 14. When in use, the needle clutch 14 mainly functions to prevent the rocker arm movable gear 12 from rotating in the opposite direction, and can be replaced by a one-way bearing.
[0053] See Figure 5 A sealing support sleeve 15, a polytetrafluoroethylene septum 16 and a support ring 17 are provided between the outer periphery of the valve disc connecting shaft 4 and the inner wall of the sealing cover 3. The polytetrafluoroethylene septum 16 and the support ring 17 are located at both ends of the sealing support sleeve 15 and are separated by an O-ring. When in use, a piston rod seal is adopted between the valve disc connecting shaft 4 and the sealing cover 3, and the sealing support sleeve 15 is used to separate them in the middle, and plays a supporting role together with the support ring 17.
[0054] See Figure 5 The PTFE septum 16 is sleeved on the valve disc connecting shaft 4 and is located between the sealing cover 3 and the outlet end of the gas cylinder valve body 1.
[0055] See Figure 3 One end of the support ring 17 extends to the outside of the sealing cover 3 and is sleeved with a valve disc storage spring 18. The two ends of the valve disc storage spring 18 are fixedly connected to the sealing cover 3 and the side of the valve disc transmission gear 6 respectively.
[0056] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 A special-shaped sealing ring 19 is provided between the outlet end of the gas cylinder valve body 1 and the sealing cover 3.
[0057] See Figure 5A slot is provided on one side of the outlet end of the gas cylinder valve body 1 near the sealing cover 3, and one end of the valve disc connecting shaft 4 extends through the slot to the inside of the outlet end of the gas cylinder valve body 1. A stainless steel ball 20 is provided inside the slot, and the extended end of the valve disc connecting shaft 4 is in contact with the outer periphery of the stainless steel ball 20. When in use, the stainless steel ball 20 acts as a sliding bearing to reduce the rotational friction resistance of the valve disc connecting shaft 4.
[0058] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A sealing valve pad 21 and a sealing valve seat 22 are sequentially arranged inside the outlet end of the gas cylinder valve body 1 near the valve disc body 5.
[0059] See Figure 1 A limit switch is provided inside the outlet end of the cylinder valve body 1, and the limit switch is electrically connected to the motor reducer unit 7.
[0060] Working principle: The cylinder valve must be equipped with a concentration sensor or data platform. When the concentration reaches the alarm concentration, the concentration sensor sends a switch signal and the valve closes. When the danger is eliminated, the platform sends a valve opening command and the valve opens. Or when the platform determines that the cylinder has reached the calibration period, the data platform sends a valve closing command and the valve closes.
[0061] When normal gas supply is needed, the motor reducer unit 7 is started, and after power is turned on, it drives the rocker fixed gear 8 to rotate counterclockwise, and the rocker fixed gear 8 rotates while driving the rocker main body 10 to rotate counterclockwise. When the rocker movable gear 12 on the rocker main body 10 engages with the valve disc transmission gear 6, the valve disc transmission gear 6 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise, and the valve disc main body 5 also rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise. At this time, the outlet end of the gas cylinder valve body 1 is in the open state, and the valve disc main body 5 hits the limit switch during rotation. At this time, the motor reducer unit 7 stops supplying power and stops rotating. At the same time, the needle clutch 14 installed in the rocker movable gear 12 cannot rotate in the opposite direction. Further, after the power supply is stopped, the motor reducer unit 7 will not reverse, and the valve disc main body 5 will not close.
[0062] When the closing signal is received, the motor reduction unit 7 reverses, and the rocker arm fixed gear 8 drives the rocker arm main body 10 to rotate clockwise. Since the needle clutch 14 installed in the rocker arm moving gear 12 cannot rotate counterclockwise, the rocker arm fixed gear 8 drives the rocker arm main body 10 to rotate clockwise, and the rocker arm moving gear 12 is disengaged from the valve disc transmission gear 6. Due to the action of the valve disc storage spring 18, the valve disc transmission gear 6 rotates clockwise, and the valve disc main body 5 is reset. At this time, the outlet end of the gas cylinder valve body 1 is closed internally, and the gas supply is stopped.
[0063] Finally, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical", "upper", "lower", "horizontal", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
