Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a water channel switching mechanism for a water control valve. Background Art

[0002] A water flow control valve is a device specifically used to manage the flow of water in a pipe. It is mainly responsible for regulating, distributing, limiting or completely cutting off the water flow.

[0003] The internal component of the water control valve, namely the valve core, is responsible for controlling the on and off of the water flow. If water is to be supplied to the waterway, an external water source connection (such as an angle valve) must be installed at the water inlet buckle of the pipe. The supply or stop of water flow must be controlled by opening or closing the angle valve; that is, to control the opening and closing of the waterway, as well as the start and stop of water supply, two different components need to be operated separately, which makes the design of the water control valve complicated and the operation process is also relatively cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a water channel switching mechanism for a water control valve, which can effectively solve the above problems.

[0005] The utility model is achieved in this way:

[0006] A water path switching mechanism for a water control valve is mounted on a flow path housing having a water path. The switching mechanism comprises a housing, an actuator mounted within the housing, and a reduction gear. The actuator has a valve stem at its axial front end that is slidably connected to an interface of the flow path housing. The reduction gear is rotatably mounted within the housing. The valve stem is actuated by the reduction gear to slide axially, with the axial movement direction of the valve stem being the same as the direction of the axis of the reduction gear.

[0007] A magnet is fixedly mounted on the reduction gear, and a Hall switch is mounted on the outer wall of the outer shell, which cooperates with the magnetic induction of the magnet to control the opening and closing of water supply in the circulation water channel. When the reduction gear rotates until the N pole of the magnet is in a relative position to the Hall switch, the Hall switch controls the external water source to supply water into the circulation water channel, and the valve stem on the actuator moves axially forward to open the circulation water channel; when the reduction gear rotates until the N pole of the magnet is away from the Hall switch, the Hall switch controls the external water source to stop supplying water into the circulation water channel, and the valve stem on the actuator moves axially backward to block the circulation water channel.

[0008] As a further improvement, the rear end of the actuator has a ramp portion that is axially offset from the valve stem, and an actuating slope is embedded in the annular groove opened on the reduction gear. There is a height difference between the top A and the bottom B of the actuating slope, and the ramp portion extends into the annular groove and forms contact pressure with the surface of the actuating slope; when the actuating slope touches the bottom B, the valve stem retreats and slides, and at this time the valve core is pressed and blocks the valve port, and the flow water path is closed; when the actuating slope touches the top A and the ramp portion, the valve stem slides forward, and the valve core is pushed by the valve stem to open the valve port, and the flow water path is opened, and at this time the Hall switch and the magnet on the reduction gear are in a relative position to control the external water source component to supply water to the flow water path.

[0009] As a further improvement, the actuator includes an adapter seat, the front end of the adapter seat is provided with a plug-in groove, and the rear end is provided with a limit groove. The valve stem is inserted and fixed in the plug-in groove, and the slope portion is fixed to the edge surface of the limit groove.

[0010] As a further improvement, the outer shell includes a front shell cover and a rear shell cover that are buckled into each other, and a plug-in portion with a accommodating groove is formed on the outer side surface of the front end of the front shell cover, and the rear end of the accommodating groove is communicated with the interior of the front shell cover. The flow path shell has an assembly groove facing the switching mechanism side and is plugged into and matched with the plug-in portion. The end of the plug-in portion is raised to form a pressing portion, and a sliding hole for the valve stem to slide through is provided from the plug-in portion to the pressing portion.

[0011] As a further improvement, a sealing membrane is interference fit between the valve stem and the inner wall surface of the interface. The sealing membrane has an integrally formed wall-adhering portion and a sealing portion. A slot is provided at the rear end of the wall-adhering portion for the pressing portion to be plugged in, and a through hole is provided at the front end for the valve stem to pass through. A sealing ring groove is provided between the pressing portion and the plug-in portion, and the sealing portion is interference fit between the sealing ring groove and the wall surface of the interface.

[0012] As a further improvement, an actuating spring is sleeved on the circumference of the valve stem to press the slope portion against the surface of the actuating slope. The annular convex edge on the circumference of the front end of the adapter seat and the end face form a mounting groove. One force-bearing end of the actuating spring is pressed against the bottom of the mounting groove, and the other force-bearing end is pressed against the bottom of the accommodating groove.

[0013] As a further improvement, two guiding ridges are symmetrically fixed on the wall surface of the accommodating groove, and a slot hole communicating with the mounting groove and for axial insertion of the guiding ridges is opened on the adapter.

[0014] As a further improvement, the reduction gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rear shell cover through a shaft, and the rear shell cover is equipped with a gear set meshing with the reduction gear and a motor for driving the gear set to rotate to drive the reduction gear to rotate synchronously.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0016] The present application realizes the opening and closing of the circulation water channel by converting the rotation of the reduction gear into the linear motion of the actuator. When the circulation water channel is opened, the magnet on the reduction gear rotates to a relative position with the Hall switch, and the Hall switch controls the external water source to supply water to the circulation water channel. In this way, the water channel can be opened and supplied with water synchronously by only rotating the reduction gear once. The water flow control valve has a simple structure and is easy to operate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a water flow control valve includes a flow path housing 10 with a water flow path 101 inside and a switching mechanism 20 mounted on the flow path housing 10. A valve core 24 for blocking the valve port 104 is installed at the valve port 104 of the flow path housing 10.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the switching mechanism includes a housing 21, an actuator 22 and a reduction gear 23 installed in the housing 21; the axial front end of the actuator 22 has a valve stem 221 that is slidably connected to the interface 103 of the flow path housing 10, and the reduction gear 23 is rotatably installed in the housing 21; the valve stem 221 is actuated by the reduction gear 23 to be able to slide axially, and the axial movement direction of the valve stem 221 is the same as the axial direction of the reduction gear 23; a magnet 232 is fixed on the reduction gear 23, and a magnet is installed on the outer wall of the housing 21 to cooperate with the magnet 232 for controlling the The Hall switch 40 that opens and closes the water supply in the water circulation channel 101 is controlled. When the reduction gear 23 rotates to the point where the magnet 232 and the Hall switch 40 are in a relative position, the Hall switch 40 controls the external water source to supply water into the water circulation channel 101, and the valve stem 221 on the actuator 22 moves axially forward to open the water circulation channel 101; when the reduction gear 23 rotates to the point where the magnet 232 and the Hall switch 40 are away from each other, the Hall switch 40 controls the external water source to stop supplying water into the water circulation channel 101, and the valve stem 221 on the actuator 22 moves axially backward to block the water circulation channel 101.

[0041] The structures of the various components of the present invention are described below.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the rear end of the actuator 22 has a ramp portion 222 axially offset from the valve stem 221. An actuating slope 231 is embedded in the annular groove 230 provided on the reduction gear 23. There is a height difference between the top A and the bottom B of the actuating slope 231. The ramp portion 222 extends into the annular groove 230 and forms contact pressure with the surface of the actuating slope 231. When the reduction gear 23 is rotated and the actuating slope 231 contacts the bottom B, the valve stem 221 retreats and slides. When the valve core 24 compresses and seals the valve port 104, the water flow path 101 is closed, and the actuating slope 231 contacts the top portion A and the slope portion 222, the valve stem 221 slides forward, and the valve core 24 is pushed by the valve stem 221 to open the valve port 104, thereby opening the water flow path 101. At this time, the Hall switch 40 and the N pole of the magnet 232 on the reduction gear 23 are in relative positions to control the external water source component (not shown) to supply water to the water flow path 101. It should be noted here that the external water source component of the present application is an angle valve attached to the water inlet end of the flow path housing 10.

[0043] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the actuator 22 includes an adapter seat 223, the front end of the adapter seat 223 is provided with a plug-in groove 2231, and the rear end is provided with a limit groove 2232. The valve stem 221 is inserted and fixed in the plug-in groove 2231, and the slope portion 222 is fixed to the edge surface of the limit groove 2232. A bulge is formed in the middle of the annular groove 230 to form a limit column 233 that is adapted to be inserted into the limit groove 2232 to limit the radial movement of the adapter seat 223.

[0044] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the valve core 24 includes an integrally formed sealing portion 241 for pressing and sealing the valve port 104 and a driven portion 242 extending downward from the middle of the lower end surface of the sealing portion 241. The water inlet end of the flow path housing 10 is provided with a pressure spring 25 for pressing the sealing portion 241 downward to seal the valve core 24 and tighten the valve port 104; a sealing ring 1041 is interference fit at the valve port 104.

[0045] When the water flow path 101 is closed, the pressure spring 25 presses the blocking portion 241 downward and presses it against the valve port 104. At this time, the axis of the driven portion 242 is perpendicular to the axis of the valve stem 221. When the water flow path 101 is opened, the valve stem 221 slides forward and pushes the driven portion 242, causing its axis to deviate from its original axial position, driving one side of the blocking portion 241 to tilt up to open the valve port 104.

[0046] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the outer shell 21 includes a front shell cover 212 and a rear shell cover 213 that are buckled into each other. The outer side surface of the front end of the front shell cover 212 is raised to form a plug-in portion 2122 with a accommodating groove 21221. The rear end of the accommodating groove 21221 is communicated with the interior of the front shell cover 212. The flow path housing 10 has an assembly groove 102 facing the switching mechanism 20 and is plugged into and matched with the plug-in portion 2122. The end of the plug-in portion 2122 is raised to form a pressing portion 2123. A sliding hole 2120 for the valve stem 221 to slide through is provided from the plug-in portion 2122 to the pressing portion 2123.

[0047] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, a sealing membrane 30 is interference fit between the valve stem 221 and the inner wall surface of the interface 103, and the sealing membrane 30 has an integrally formed wall-adhering portion 31 and a sealing portion 32. The rear end of the wall-adhering portion 31 is provided with a slot 311 for the pressing portion 2123 to be plugged in, and the front end is provided with a through-hole 312 for the valve stem 221 to pass through. A sealing ring groove 2124 is provided between the pressing portion 2123 and the plug-in portion 2122, and the sealing portion 32 is interference fit between the sealing ring groove 2124 and the wall surface of the interface 103; it should be noted here that the pressing portion 2123 is a hook-shaped structure. When the pressing portion 2123 is inserted into the slot 311, the pressing portion 2123 and the slot 311 form a hook-anchor fit, so that the pressing portion 2123 and the sealing membrane 30 form a tight and stable connection relationship.

[0048] like Figures 4 to 8As shown, an actuating spring 224 is sleeved on the circumference of the valve stem 221 to press the slope portion 222 against the surface of the actuating slope 231, and the annular convex edge on the circumference of the front end of the adapter seat 223 and the end face form a mounting groove 2233, one force-bearing end of the actuating spring 224 is pressed against the bottom of the mounting groove 2233, and the other force-bearing end is pressed against the bottom of the accommodating groove 21221; two guide ridges 21222 are symmetrically fixed on the wall of the accommodating groove 21221, and a slot hole 2234 is opened on the adapter seat 223, which is in communication with the mounting groove 2233 and for the axial insertion of the guide ridge 21222. With this design, during the axial sliding of the valve stem 221, the adapter seat 223 can be restricted from circumferential rotation, thereby improving the stability and safety of the actuator 22 during use.

[0049] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the reduction gear 23 has a guide protrusion 234 on the side facing the adapter 223, and an annular groove 230 is provided on the end face of the guide protrusion 234. The inner side surface of the front shell cover 212 is raised relative to the plug-in portion 2122 to form a blocking structure 2125, and the inner side of the blocking structure 2125 is in contact with the outer side of the guide protrusion 234; the reduction gear 23 is connected to the inner wall of the rear shell cover 213 through an axis rotation, and the rear shell cover 213 is installed with a gear set 2133 meshing with the reduction gear 23 and a motor 50 for driving the gear set 2133 to rotate to drive the reduction gear 23 to rotate synchronously; the outer wall surface of the rear shell cover 213 is concavely provided with a groove 2131 for installing the Hall switch 40, and the groove 2131 is located above the reduction gear 23.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the gear set 2133 includes a first gear 1 fixed to the output shaft of the motor 50, a second gear 2 meshing with the first gear 1, a third gear 3 coaxially driven with the second gear 2, a fourth gear 4 meshing with the third gear 3, and a fifth gear 5 coaxially driven with the fourth gear 4 and meshing with the reduction gear 23. The module of each gear is 0.5, the number of teeth of the first gear 1 is 12, the number of teeth of the second gear 2 is 15, the number of teeth of the third gear 3 is 10, the number of teeth of the fourth gear 4 is 15, the number of teeth of the fifth gear 5 is 10, and the number of teeth of the reduction gear 23 is 66. With this design, the reduction gear 23 is slowly driven by a multi-stage deceleration method to ensure a smooth axial displacement process of the valve stem 221 and improve the stability and safety of the control valve during use.

[0051] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, when the reduction gear 23 rotates to the bottom B of the actuating slope 231 and contacts the slope portion 222, the valve stem 221 moves axially backward under the elastic force of the actuating spring 224, and the sealing portion 241 presses the valve port 104 under the elastic force of the top pressure spring 25 to close the flow water path 101. At this time, the Hall switch 40 recognizes that the slope portion 222 is at the bottom B position of the actuating slope 231, and the N pole of the magnet 232 on the reduction gear 23 is away from the Hall switch 40. The Hall switch 40 does not sense, and the angle valve does not supply water to the flow water path 101.

[0052] On the contrary, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, when the actuating slope 231 contacts the top A of the ramp portion 222, the adapter 223 moves axially forward, the actuating spring 224 is compressed, and the valve stem 221 moves axially forward synchronously and pushes the driven portion 242, so that one side of the blocking portion 241 of the valve core 24 is tilted, the valve port 104 is opened, and the water flow path 101 is opened. At this time, the Hall switch 40 recognizes that the ramp portion 222 is at the top A of the actuating slope 231, and the N pole of the magnet 232 on the reduction gear 23 contacts the Hall switch 40 in the groove 2131. In the relative position, the Hall switch 40 senses and detects the change in magnetic field caused by the movement of the N pole of the magnet 232 during the movement of the actuator 22, forming an electrical signal caused by the magnet 232 changing with the displacement of the actuator 22, so as to control the angle valve to supply water to the circulation waterway 101; of course, as the reduction gear 23 continues to rotate, the S pole of the magnet 232 and the Hall switch are in a relative position (the N pole is far away from the Hall switch 40), and at this time the Hall switch 40 does not sense, and the angle valve does not supply water to the circulation waterway 101.

[0053] It should be noted here that the NS poles of the magnet can also be reversed, that is, when the deceleration magnetic wheel 23 rotates to the point where the S pole of the magnet corresponds to the Hall switch 40, the Hall switch 40 controls the angle valve to open the water supply. When the S pole of the magnet is away from the Hall switch 40, the Hall switch 40 does not sense and the angle valve does not supply water.

[0054] It should be noted here that when the top A of the actuating slope 231 contacts the ramp portion 222, the reduction gear 23 continues to rotate, and the ramp portion 222 falls back from the top A of the actuating slope 231 to the bottom B. During this process, the actuating spring 224 pushes the adapter 223 to move axially backward.

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a plurality of spaced-apart hook portions 2132 are formed on the peripheral wall surface of the rear shell cover 213, and a buckle plate 2126 is formed on the side wall of the front shell cover 212 corresponding to the hook portion 2132, and the buckle plate 2126 is provided with a hook hole 2127 for the hook portion 2132 to engage with; two buckle portions 21223 are symmetrically arranged on the peripheral side of the plug-in portion 2122, and a buckle hole 1021 for the buckle portion 21223 to engage with the hook is provided on the groove wall of the assembly groove 102, and deformation clearance grooves 1022 that communicate with the assembly groove 102 are provided on both sides of the buckle hole 1021. When the buckle portion 21223 is engaged with the buckle hole 1021, the groove wall of the assembly groove 102 can elastically give way to the deformation clearance groove 1022 to avoid cracks in the flow path housing 10 during the assembly process with the outer shell 21.

[0056] The following combination Figures 1 to 8 , explaining the assembly of the utility model.

[0057] The sealing membrane 30 is snapped into the interface 103, and the plug-in portion 2122 on the front shell cover 212 is aligned with the assembly groove 102 of the flow path housing 10 and inserted therein, so that the pressing portion 2123 is inserted into the slot 311 of the wall-adhering portion 31, and the sealing portion 32 is interference-engaged between the sealing ring groove 2124 and the wall surface of the interface 103. During this process, the buckle portion 21223 and the clamping hole 1021 form a hook-lock fit; the valve stem 221 is plugged and fixed in the plug-in groove 2231 of the adapter seat 223, and the actuating spring 224 is placed in the installation groove 2233, and then the valve stem 221 is aligned and inserted into the sliding hole 2120, and finally the hook portion 2132 on the rear shell cover 213 is aligned and buckled into the hook hole 2127 on the front shell cover 212. At this time, the ramp portion 222 on the adapter seat 223 is located in the annular groove 230 of the reduction gear 23, and the quick assembly of the control valve is completed.

[0058] The following combination Figures 1 to 8 , describe the working principle of the utility model in detail.

[0059] When the control valve is used to supply water, the motor 50 is started, and the motor 50 drives the gear set 2133 to rotate to drive the reduction gear 23 to rotate. During the process of the actuating slope 231 in the annular groove 230 rotating to the top A and forming contact pressure with the slope portion 222, the valve stem 221 moves axially forward to push the driven portion 242 of the valve core 24, and overcomes the downward elastic force of the pressure spring 25, so that one side of the blocking portion 241 is tilted to open the valve port 104. At this time, the water flow path 101 is opened, and the N pole of the magnet 232 on the reduction gear 23 rotates to a position relative to the Hall switch 40. The Hall switch 40 controls the angle valve to supply water to the water flow path 101.

[0060] When the control valve stops supplying water, the motor 50 continues to drive the gear set 2133 to rotate. During the process of the actuating slope 231 in the annular groove 230 rotating to the bottom B and forming contact pressure with the slope portion 222, the valve stem 221 moves axially backward. Under the action of the downward elastic force of the top pressure spring 25, the blocking portion 241 presses the valve port 104, the water flow path 101 is closed, and the N pole of the magnet 232 on the reduction gear 23 rotates away from the Hall switch 40, and the angle valve stops supplying water to the water flow path 101.

[0061] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. A person skilled in the art may make various modifications or changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should also fall within the scope of the present invention and be defined by the claims.
