Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clamping valves, in particular to an adjustable clamping valve. Background Art
[0002] Pinch valves, also known as pipe clamp valves, airbag valves, or pinch valves, are specialized valves with a rubber sleeve as their core component. They are widely used in industrial environments requiring flexible control of fluid flow, particularly in handling media containing solid particles, corrosive, or abrasive materials. Their unique operating principle and structural design offer significant advantages in numerous applications. These valves are essentially comprised of a valve body, a rubber sleeve, and a mechanism for controlling gas input. As a core component, the rubber sleeve not only provides the necessary sealing but also resists corrosion, wear, and operating pressure, directly determining the valve's performance and service life.
[0003] While pinch valves offer numerous advantages in many industrial applications, they also have inherent limitations and potential problems. A key challenge lies in the long-term durability and deformation recovery capabilities of the rubber sleeve. During continuous operation, pinch valves rely on the compression of the rubber sleeve to block the flow. However, when the rubber material is under pressure for extended periods, especially in applications with frequent opening and closing cycles, the rubber sleeve may experience a phenomenon known as "elastic memory." This means that after repeated squeezing, the rubber material may not fully recover to its original shape, resulting in a certain degree of permanent deformation and, in turn, reduced flow. How to invent an adjustable pinch valve to address these issues has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

The number of protrusions 7 and the small holes 8 are the same and the positions correspond. A threaded hole is provided on the flange surface 2, and the flange tube 1 and the flange surface 2 clamp the rubber tube 5, and the flange tube 1 and the flange surface 2 are fixedly connected by bolts 6; the ventilation pipe 10 penetrates the sealing shell 4 and is connected to the cylinder 9, and the position where the ventilation pipe 10 penetrates the sealing shell 4 is closed with the sealing shell 4. A plurality of arc baffles 15 are provided inside the sealing tube 3, and the two sides of the arc baffle 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the sealing shell 4 and the flange surface 2. The inner wall of the arc baffle 15 is fitted with the outer wall of the rubber tube 5, and a deformation reserved groove 16 is provided on one side of the arc baffle 15. A limit spring 28 is provided inside the cylinder 9, and the end of the limit spring 28 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing shell 4.
[0024] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6The air intake mechanism includes an air intake valve body 11 fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder 9, the inner side wall of the air intake valve body 11 is fixedly connected to an air intake valve plug 20, the top of the air intake valve plug 20 is provided with an air intake valve ball 21, and the top of the air intake valve ball 21 is provided with an air intake push spring 23; the air intake valve ball 21 is provided to block the air intake valve plug 20, and the air intake push spring 23 is provided to squeeze the top air intake valve body 11 and the bottom air intake valve ball 21, and a plurality of air intake holes 22 are provided on the side wall of the air intake valve body 11, and the air intake holes 22 are connected to the cylinder 9; the air return mechanism includes a air return valve body 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 9, the inner side wall of the air return valve body 12 is fixedly connected to a air return valve plug 24, and the air return valve plug 24 is provided with an air return hole 27. 4 is provided with a return valve ball 25, and a return valve push spring 26 is provided on the top of the return valve ball 25; the return valve ball 25 is provided to seal the return valve plug 24, and the return valve push spring 26 is provided to squeeze the top cylinder 9 and the bottom return valve ball 25, and the return air through hole 27 is connected to the cylinder 9; by extracting air from the vent pipe 10, the piston 17 is sucked back and retracted, and the piston 17 continues to move to connect the vent pipe 10 with the return valve body 12. Due to continuous extraction of air, negative pressure is generated in the sealing shell 4, which causes the squeezed position of the rubber tube 5 to retract, and the continuous negative pressure eliminates the elastic memory of the rubber tube 5 caused by the cyclic extrusion, preventing the phenomenon of inability to fully rebound, so that the rubber tube 5 does not produce permanent deformation, and ensures that the flow rate will not be reduced.
[0025] The working principle of this adjustable clamping valve: when the clamping valve is not pressurized, the liquid in the rubber tube 5 passes freely without resistance. When the flow rate needs to be controlled, compressed gas is injected into the vent pipe 10. The compressed gas reaches the inside of the cylinder 9 through the vent pipe 10 and continuously provides compressed gas. The compressed gas pushes the piston 17 to move in the direction of the telescopic rod 18. The telescopic rod 18 drives the groove rod 13 and the convex rod 14 to move closer, squeezing the side wall of the rubber tube 5. Continuous squeezing will reduce the space inside the rubber tube 5, thereby adjusting the flow rate. Continue to inject compressed air until the rubber tube 5 is completely blocked. When the air pressure exceeds the elastic force of the intake push spring 23, the compressed gas pushes open the intake valve ball 21 pressed on the intake valve plug 20, and enters the sealing shell from the intake through hole 22. Inside the body 4, continuous pressure is applied to the rubber tube 5 to expand the sealed area of the rubber tube 5 and strengthen the sealing effect of the rubber tube 5. When the sealed rubber tube 5 needs to be opened, air is extracted from the vent pipe 10, and the piston 17 is sucked back and squeezes the limit spring 28. The piston 17 continues to move to connect the vent pipe 10 with the return valve body 12. The gas in the sealed shell 4 pushes the return valve ball 25 from the return hole 27 and is discharged from the sealed shell 4 through the cylinder 9. During continuous air extraction, negative pressure is generated in the sealed shell 4, causing the squeezed position of the rubber tube 5 to retract, and the elastic memory of the rubber tube 5 caused by the cyclic extrusion is eliminated through the continuous negative pressure, preventing the phenomenon of inability to fully rebound, so that the rubber tube 5 does not produce permanent deformation, and ensures that the flow rate will not be reduced.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
