Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a compressed air pressure stabilizing and regulating device, which mainly includes a main air storage tank, a spare air storage tank, a three-way valve 1, an air compressor and air-using equipment;

[0027] This embodiment includes two three-way valves 1, namely an air inlet three-way valve 11 and an air outlet three-way valve 12. The first gas interface 114 of the air inlet three-way valve 11 is connected to the air compressor, the second gas interface 115 is connected to the main gas tank and the third gas interface 116 is connected to the backup gas tank. The first gas interface 114 of the air outlet three-way valve 12 is connected to the main gas tank, the second gas interface 115 is connected to the gas-using equipment and the third gas interface 116 is connected to the backup gas tank.

[0028] Combine Figure 4-Figure 9As shown, the intake three-way valve 11 includes an intake valve body 111, a first gas interface 114, a second gas interface 115, a third gas interface 116, a first piston 113, a first upper spring 117, a first lower spring 118 and a first guide column 112. There is a cylindrical cavity at the center of the intake valve body 111, the first piston 113 fits tightly with the cavity, the first guide column 112 is located at the vertical axis of the cavity and is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the intake valve body 111, and the two ends of the first upper spring 117 are respectively fixed to the first piston 113. The upper end and the upper end of the cavity, the two ends of the first lower spring 118 are respectively fixed to the lower end of the first piston 113 and the lower end of the cavity, the first guide column 112 passes through the first lower spring 118, the first piston 113 and the first upper spring 117 from bottom to top along the axis of the three, and the three different heights of the intake valve body 111 are provided with a first gas interface 114, a second gas interface 115 and a third gas interface 116 arranged in sequence from bottom to top, and the first gas interface 114, the second gas interface 115 and the third gas interface 116 are connected to the cavity;

[0029] The outlet three-way valve 12 includes an outlet valve body 121, a fourth gas interface 124, a fifth gas interface 125, a sixth gas interface 126, a second piston 123, a second upper spring 127, a second lower spring 128 and a second guide column 122. The outlet three-way valve 12 has the same structure as the inlet three-way valve 11.

[0030] Combine Figure 2 As shown, when the air pressure inside the main air storage tank is greater than a preset threshold, the air inlet three-way valve 11 and the air outlet three-way valve 12 enter the first working state, the air compressor is connected to the main air storage tank and the backup air storage tank, the main air storage tank is connected to the gas-consuming equipment, and the backup air storage tank is not connected to the gas-consuming equipment;

[0031] When in the first working condition, the first piston 113 inside the intake three-way valve 11 is pushed upward by the excess compressed air, the first upper spring 117 is compressed, and the first lower spring 118 is stretched. At this time, the first piston 113 inside the intake three-way valve 11 is located above the third gas interface 116, and the first gas interface 114, the second gas interface 115, and the third gas interface 116 are connected inside the cavity. The compressed air generated by the air compressor fills the main air tank while the excess compressed air generated by the air compressor fills the backup air tank.

[0032] The second piston 123 in the internal cavity of the outlet three-way valve 12 moves upward under the thrust of the compressed air. At this time, the second piston 123 inside the outlet valve body 121 is located between the fifth gas interface 125 and the sixth gas interface 126, and the fourth gas interface 124 and the fifth gas interface 125 are connected inside the cavity. At this time, only the main gas tank supplies gas to the gas-using equipment.

[0033] Combine Figure 3 As shown, when the air pressure inside the main air tank is lower than a preset threshold, the air inlet three-way valve 11 and the air outlet three-way valve 12 enter the second working state, the air compressor is connected to the main air tank, the air compressor is not connected to the backup air tank, the main air tank is not connected to the gas-consuming equipment, and the backup air tank is connected to the gas-consuming equipment;

[0034] When in the second working condition, the first piston 113 inside the intake valve body 111 is located between the second gas interface 115 and the third gas interface 116, the first gas interface 114 and the second gas interface 115 are connected inside the cavity, and the air compressor only supplies gas to the main gas tank and does not supply gas to the backup gas tank;

[0035] The second piston 123 inside the outlet valve body 121 is located below the fifth gas interface 125, the second upper spring 127 is stretched and the second lower spring 128 is contracted, the fifth gas interface 125 and the sixth gas interface 126 are connected inside the cavity, and the backup gas tank supplies gas to the gas-using equipment.

[0036] The air inlet end of the spare air storage tank is fixedly connected to the pressure sensor, and the air outlet end of the spare air storage tank is fixedly connected to the flow sensor.

[0037] When the gas-consuming equipment is running at a low load, the feeding system enters the first working condition. At this time, the compressed air provided by the main gas tank is much greater than the compressed air required by the gas-consuming equipment. The speed at which the air compressor fills the main gas tank is greater than the speed at which the main gas tank discharges compressed air. The air pressure in the main gas tank rises rapidly until it is maintained at a threshold value. The compressed air produced by the air compressor cannot be absorbed in the cavity of the air inlet three-way valve 11, so it pushes the first piston 113 upward. Until the first piston 113 moves above the third gas interface 116, the excess compressed air in the air inlet valve body 111 is absorbed by the backup gas tank; at this time, the fourth gas interface 124 connected to the main gas tank in the air outlet three-way valve 12 discharges compressed air to push the second piston 123 upward until the fourth gas interface 124 is connected to the fifth gas interface 125 in the cavity inside the air outlet valve body 121. At this time, the second upper spring 127 is compressed and the second lower spring 128 is stretched. When the pressure sensor connected to the backup gas tank detects that the threshold value has been reached, the air compressor is turned off;

[0038] When the main gas tank is continuously supplying gas to the gas equipment and the gas pressure of the main gas tank is insufficient, the second piston 123 in the outlet three-way valve 12 moves downward under the action of the gas pressure, the second upper spring 127 and the second lower spring 128, until the second piston 123 moves below the fifth gas interface 125, at this time, the feeding system enters the second working condition, and the standby gas tank supplies the gas equipment with gas, when the flow sensor fixed at the output end of the standby gas tank detects that the gas flows, the air compressor is started and supplies the main gas tank with gas, at this time, in the inlet three-way valve 11, the first piston 113 is located above the second gas interface 115, and the first gas interface 114 and the second gas interface 115 are connected in the cavity.

[0039] The original feeding system is additionally provided with a standby gas tank, the standby gas tank absorbs the excess compressed air when the air compressor works at a low load, and releases the compressed air when the amount of the compressed air in the main gas tank is insufficient, so that the overall gas pressure balance of the feeding system is adjusted and stabilized, and the problem that the equipment is stopped due to the delayed matching of the compressed air is prevented.

[0040] The above examples are only exemplary embodiments of the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model, and the protection scope of the utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements to the utility model within the essence and protection scope of the utility model, and the modification or equivalent replacement should also be regarded as the embodiments of the utility model falling within the protection scope of the utility model.
