Common valve structures include two-position three-way valves, three-position four-way valves, four-position five-way valves, etc. In these applications, especially in the field of oxygen production, due to the high requirements for shock absorption and noise reduction, the performance of the valve structure is particularly important. Specifically, when compressed air enters the molecular sieve, oxygen needs to pass smoothly, and nitrogen needs to be released in time after adsorption saturation, and then nitrogen can continue to be adsorbed to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the oxygen production process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps of any method or process disclosed in this specification, can be combined in any combination, except where it is specifically stated otherwise.

[0038] Any feature disclosed in this specification, unless stated otherwise, can be replaced by any other feature serving the same, or a similar, purpose.

[0039] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the utility model relates to a kind of mute valve structure, including a valve body.The upper portion of valve body is provided with air inlet 111, for the entry and distribution of gas.The output end of air inlet 111 is connected with multiple first chambers 100 in the inside of valve body by multiple through holes, so that in working time, gas can flow into each chamber smoothly, guaranteeing flow efficiency.

[0040] Valve body is also provided with multiple exhaust ports and air outlets.Each exhaust port (for example, first exhaust port 112 and second exhaust port 113) corresponds a first chamber 100 located in the inside of valve body, and each exhaust port is communicated with its corresponding first chamber 100, so as to discharge gas from first chamber.At the same time, air outlet (such as first air outlet 121 and second air outlet 122) corresponds a second chamber 200, and each air outlet is communicated with corresponding second chamber 200, ensuring the shunt of gas discharge and the effectiveness of transmission.

[0041] In the structure, the communication hole is arranged between each first chamber 100 and adjacent second chamber 200, and the communication of first chamber 100 and second chamber 200 is realized through the communication hole.Air inlet 111 is connected with each first chamber 100 by multiple through holes, so that gas entering valve body can be distributed to each chamber as needed, ensuring the uniformity of gas flow and the efficiency of transmission.

[0042] As shown in Figure 3 And Figure 4 The mute valve structure further includes multiple driving motors, and each driving motor is installed at the bottom position of valve body.The driving end of each driving motor is provided with a sealing valve block, and the sealing valve block is movably installed in the corresponding first chamber 100.

[0043] The opposite side surfaces of the sealing valve block are formed with contact sealing surfaces, which can control the flow of gas by sealing contact with the communication hole or through hole.Each driving motor drives the sealing valve block to move in the first chamber 100 by its driving end, so as to close or open the communication hole and the through hole, and finally realize the flow control of gas and the switching of transmission path.

[0044] As shown in Figure 4 And Figure 5 In the embodiment, preferably, at least two driving motors are provided, which are first driving motor 21 and second driving motor 22.The driving end of first driving motor 21 is provided with first sealing valve block 41, and the driving end of second driving motor 22 is equipped with second sealing valve block 42.

[0045] The first sealing valve block 41 and the second sealing valve block 42 can be located at the through holes at the same time, or located at the communication holes at the same time, and can also be switched so that one of the sealing valve blocks is located at the through hole while the other sealing valve block is located at the communication hole.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3 , when the mute valve structure is in the stop working state, the first sealing valve block 41 and the second sealing valve block 42 are located at the communication holes. At this time, all the exhaust ports are not connected with the outside, and the gas is isolated between the first chamber and the second chamber, and the gas outlet is also disconnected with the outside air, so that the whole device is in a static state, and the gas transmission is stopped.

[0047] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , when starting to work, the first sealing valve block 41 moves to the communication hole position, and the second sealing valve block 42 moves to the through hole position. At this time, one of the first gas outlet 121 or the second gas outlet 122 will be connected with the air inlet 111, and the other gas outlet will be connected with the corresponding exhaust port, so as to start the one-way gas inlet and exhaust. By alternately switching the positions of the first sealing valve block 41 and the second sealing valve block 42, uninterrupted gas transmission can be achieved.

[0048] Specifically, the first sealing valve block 41 and the second sealing valve block 42 will be switched back and forth within a specified time interval, and the switching frequency can be set to be less than 0.5 seconds, so as to ensure efficient transmission of gas in each chamber.

[0049] As shown in Figure 6 , before the mute valve structure stops working, the first sealing valve block 41 and the second sealing valve block 42 will be located at the through hole position. At this time, the first exhaust port 112 and the first gas outlet 121 are connected, and the second exhaust port 113 and the second gas outlet 122 are connected, so that the device is in a simultaneous exhaust state before stopping, ensuring that all the gas in the chambers can be completely exhausted, avoiding the influence of residual gas on the next work. After the exhaust is completed, the valve structure will return to the initial position of the stop state to wait for the next start.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the structure of the valve body adopts a multi-layer connection design, including a first valve plate 11, a second valve plate 12 and a fixed plate 13. The first valve plate 11, the second valve plate 12 and the fixed plate 13 are connected with each other in sequence through fasteners such as screws, which can facilitate disassembly and maintenance, and ensure the stability of the valve body structure.

[0051] The first valve plate 11 is provided with a plurality of exhaust ports, such as a first exhaust port 112 and a second exhaust port 113, and the second valve plate 12 is provided with a plurality of gas outlet ports, such as a first gas outlet port 121 and a second gas outlet port 122. The fixed plate 13 is located at the bottom, and a plurality of drive motors are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 13. The connection between the drive motor and the fixed plate 13 is also achieved by fasteners, which is convenient for maintenance.

[0052] As shown in Figure 3 to Figure 6 The drive end of each drive motor has a push rod. The push rod extends from the output end of the drive motor, passes through the second chamber 200 and extends to the communication hole, and finally extends into the first chamber 100. The sealing valve block is installed on the push rod, and through the reciprocating movement of the drive motor, the push rod is driven to move the sealing valve block between the first sealing position and the second sealing position. By moving the sealing valve block, the communication hole or the communication hole is effectively closed or opened, achieving precise control of the gas flow path and ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the valve structure.

[0053] In the selection of sealing materials, the sealing valve block is made of rubber material. Rubber material has excellent sealing performance. When in contact with the sealing position, the rubber sealing valve block produces moderate elastic deformation, so that it is more tightly fitted with the communication hole and the communication hole, effectively preventing gas leakage;

[0054] In addition, rubber has corrosion resistance, which can ensure the stability of the valve in long-term operation. In practical application, the number of sealing valve blocks can be increased according to the number of chambers in the valve body, to adapt to different gas flow requirements and realize multi-path, multi-channel gas distribution.

[0055] In this structure, the drive motor is a stepper motor. The stepper motor has very little noise during operation, which can meet the requirement of silence and overcome the noise problem of traditional electromagnetic valves during switching, making it suitable for application environments with high noise control requirements.

[0056] To further improve the sealing effect, sealing elements are installed at the key connection positions of the valve plates. A rubber ring 50 is arranged at the connection position of the first valve plate 11 and the second valve plate 12, a first rubber pad 60 is arranged at the connection position of the second valve plate 12 and the fixed plate 13, and a second rubber pad 70 is arranged at the connection position between the fixed plate 13 and the drive motor. The use of these rubber sealing elements further improves the sealing performance of the interface, prevents gas leakage, and also enhances the silence effect of the device.

[0057] The mute valve structure of the utility model drives sealing valve block alternately through driving motor, realizes uninterrupted transmission of gas, uses stepping motor and rubber sealing material, effectively reduces noise in working process, makes structure convenient to install, easy to disassemble and maintain, is suitable for various application scenes which have high requirements for gas transmission and mute performance, has good practicality and reliability.

[0058] The above merely illustrates the specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, any change or replacement without creative labor should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be limited by the protection scope defined in the claims.
