Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of check valve technology, specifically to a check valve. Background Technology
[0002] Check valves integrate three functions: fire prevention, backflow prevention, and flow diversion. They are an important component of residential exhaust systems. Existing check valves used in residential kitchen exhaust ducts are designed to achieve their fire prevention function, ensuring the safety of the residence and preventing the spread of fire; and to ensure the health and comfort of the residence and prevent the spread of smoke and odors.
[0003] When a check valve is in normal use, the exhaust port is open to facilitate smoke exhaust and pressure relief. In the event of a fire, the valve plate of the check valve will close. However, existing check valves cannot fix the valve plate after closing. Instead, the spring that switches the valve plate applies a force to make it stick to the check valve. However, this is not airtight and can lead to smoke leakage and the spread of fire.
[0004] Therefore, a check valve is urgently needed to address the technical problems described above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide a check valve.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is a check valve, comprising:
[0007] The valve body comprises a valve plate door, a rotating mechanism, and a locking mechanism. The valve plate door is located at the lower end of the valve body. A locking mechanism is located on one side of the valve body, and the bottom of the locking mechanism is connected to the valve plate door. A rotating mechanism is located on the other side of the valve body, and the bottom of the rotating mechanism is connected to the valve plate door.
[0008] As an improvement, the rotating mechanism includes a U-shaped seat, a fixed frame, a connecting frame, a torsion spring, a push frame, and a temperature sensing element. The U-shaped seat is disposed on the inner wall of the valve body. A first screw is provided on the U-shaped seat, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the first screw. A push rod is provided at one end of the torsion spring. A push frame is provided on one side of the torsion spring on the first screw. A first slot is provided at the lower end of the push frame. The push rod is located in the first slot. A crossbar is provided on the push frame. A connecting frame is provided on the first screw. The other end of the connecting frame is connected to the valve plate door. The crossbar extends into the connecting frame and cooperates with the connecting frame. A fixed frame is provided in the middle of the U-shaped seat. A second slot is provided on one side of the fixed frame. The other end of the torsion spring is located in the second slot. A temperature sensing element is provided on the fixed frame. One end of the temperature sensing element is located above the push frame and cooperates with the push frame.
[0009] As an improvement, a mounting bracket is provided on the outside of the valve body. The mounting bracket is connected to the valve body and the U-shaped seat by bolts, and the mounting bracket is provided with barbed teeth.
[0010] As an improvement, the locking mechanism includes a base plate, an upper frame, a V-shaped spring, a V-shaped bracket, mounting bolts, and a cryogenic control ring. The base plate is located at the bottom of the valve body. Mounting bolts are located above the base plate on the inner wall of the valve body. The upper frame is mounted on the mounting bolts. The upper frame has symmetrical first screw holes, the lower ends of which extend to the base plate. Fixing bolts are located in the first screw holes. A locking tongue is rotatably mounted on one of the fixing bolts, and a V-shaped spring is mounted on the other fixing bolt. One end of the V-shaped spring abuts against the locking tongue, and the other end abuts against the upper frame. A hole is located in the middle of the upper frame, extending to the base plate. A cryogenic control ring is located in the hole, and the cryogenic control ring cooperates with the V-shaped spring. The V-shaped bracket is mounted on the valve plate door, and a slot is located on the V-shaped bracket. The locking tongue cooperates with the slot.
[0011] As an improvement, the mounting bolt has a second screw hole in the middle, a second screw rod is provided in the second screw hole, and a wing nut is provided at one end of the second screw rod.
[0012] As an improvement, a connecting sleeve is provided at the upper end of the valve body.
[0013] As an improvement, the lower end of the valve body is provided with a sealing ring that mates with the valve plate.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0015] 1. It is equipped with a rotating mechanism and a locking mechanism. The rotating mechanism can drive the valve plate to rotate and close, thereby realizing the closure of the check valve. The locking mechanism is respectively set on the valve body and the valve plate. When the valve plate is closed, the locking mechanism will lock the valve plate tightly, so that the valve plate will be closed more firmly and will not have gaps due to the impact of airflow. In the event of a fire, the check valve is locked under the action of the locking tongue, effectively isolating fires in public exhaust ducts or indoor fires, and preventing fire from being delayed or smoke from leaking.
[0016] 2. The locking mechanism includes a V-shaped spring, a V-shaped bracket, and a low-temperature control ring. Normally, the low-temperature control ring rests against the locking tongue, restricting its rotation. When the temperature is relatively high, the low-temperature control ring melts, and the locking tongue rotates under the action of the V-shaped spring, thus inserting into the slot on the V-shaped bracket to lock the valve plate door, thereby making the valve plate door close more tightly.
[0017] 3. A connecting sleeve is provided at the upper end of the valve body for better connection and installation;
[0018] 4. A sealing ring is provided at the lower end of the valve body to cooperate with the valve plate, which further makes the check valve close more tightly. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0031] Combined with appendix Figure 1-9 A check valve, comprising:
[0032] The valve body 100 comprises a valve plate door 200, a rotating mechanism, and a locking mechanism. The valve plate door 200 is located at the lower end of the valve body 100. A locking mechanism is located on one side of the valve body 100, and the bottom of the locking mechanism is connected and cooperates with the valve plate door 200. A rotating mechanism is located on the other side of the valve body 100, and the bottom of the rotating mechanism is connected to the valve plate door 200. The rotating mechanism is used to automatically adjust the position of the valve plate door 200 when the temperature changes.
[0033] The rotating mechanism includes a U-shaped seat 301, a fixed frame 302, a connecting frame 303, a torsion spring 304, a pusher 305, and a temperature sensing element 306. The U-shaped seat 301 is disposed on the inner wall of the valve body 100. A first screw 307 is provided on the U-shaped seat 301, and a torsion spring 304 is sleeved on the first screw 307. A push rod 308 is provided at one end of the torsion spring 304. A pusher 305 is provided on one side of the torsion spring 304 on the first screw 307. A first slot 309 is provided at the lower end of the pusher 305, and the push rod 308 is located in the first slot 309. A crossbar 310 is provided on the pusher 305. A connecting frame 303 is provided on the first screw 307, and the other end of the connecting frame 303 is connected to the valve plate door 200. Next, the crossbar 310 extends into the connecting frame 303 and cooperates with the connecting frame 303. The U-shaped seat 301 is provided with a fixing frame 302 in the middle. The fixing frame 302 is provided with a second slot 311 on one side. The other end of the torsion spring 304 is located in the second slot 311 and is used to provide rotational force for the valve plate door 200. The fixing frame 302 is provided with a temperature sensing element 306. One end of the temperature sensing element 306 is located above the push frame 305 and cooperates with the push frame 305. When the temperature changes, the temperature sensing element 306 will contract and shorten, thereby releasing the restriction on the push frame 305. The push frame 305 will rotate upward under the action of the torsion spring 304. The crossbar 310 then pushes the connecting frame 303 to rotate, thereby driving the valve plate door 200 to close.
[0034] The valve body 100 is provided with a mounting bracket 312 on the outside. The mounting bracket 312 is connected to the valve body 100 and the U-shaped seat 301 by bolts. The mounting bracket 312 is provided with a backing tooth 313.
[0035] The locking mechanism includes a base plate 401, an upper frame 402, a V-spring 403, a V-bracket 404, mounting bolts 405, and a low-temperature control ring 406. The base plate 401 is located at the bottom of the valve body 100. Mounting bolts 405 are located above the base plate 401 on the inner wall of the valve body 100. The upper frame 402 is mounted on the mounting bolts 405. Symmetrical first screw holes 407 are provided on the upper frame 402. The lower ends of the first screw holes 407 extend to the base plate 401. Fixing bolts 408 are located within the first screw holes 407. A locking tongue 409 is rotatably mounted on one of the fixing bolts 408. Another fixing bolt 408 is provided with a V-shaped spring 403. One end of the V-shaped spring 403 abuts against the locking tongue 409, providing force for the rotation of the locking tongue 409. The other end of the V-shaped spring 403 abuts against the upper frame 402. The upper frame 402 has a hole 410 in the middle, which extends to the bottom plate 401. A low temperature control ring 406 is provided in the hole 410. The low temperature control ring 406 and the V-shaped spring 403 cooperate. The V-shaped bracket 404 is set on the valve plate door 200. The V-shaped bracket 404 has a slot 411, and the locking tongue 409 cooperates with the slot 411.
[0036] The mounting bolt 405 has a second screw hole 412 in the middle, a second screw 413 is provided in the second screw hole 412, and a wing nut 414 is provided at one end of the second screw 413.
[0037] The valve body 100 is provided with a connecting sleeve 101 at its upper end, which facilitates the connection of the check valve to the pipeline system.
[0038] The lower end of the valve body 100 is provided with a sealing ring 102 that cooperates with the valve plate door 200 to enhance the sealing performance and prevent fluid leakage.
[0039] In a specific implementation of this invention, during installation, the check valve is first connected to the pipeline system via the connecting sleeve 101.
[0040] Open the valve plate door 200 and place one end of the temperature sensing element 306 against the pusher 305. This will limit the rotation of the pusher 305 and simultaneously complete the storage of the torsion spring 304.
[0041] When the low temperature control ring 406 is activated in 20 seconds during refractory conditions, it releases the restriction on the locking tongue 409. Since one end of the V-shaped spring 403 is pressed against the locking tongue 409, it will drive the locking tongue 409 to rotate and pop out the locking tongue 409.
[0042] When the temperature control start time reaches 50-60 seconds, the temperature sensing element 306 will deform and contract, thereby releasing the restriction on the push frame 305. At this time, the torsion spring 304 will rebound and reset, driving the push frame 305 to rotate through the push rod 308. The crossbar 310 on the push frame 305 will drive the connecting frame 303 to rotate, thereby driving the valve plate door 200 to rotate and close, returning to its original position. The locking tongue 409 will slide into the slot 411 along the V-shaped frame 404, thereby locking the return of the valve plate door 200, thus effectively ensuring the time limit during fire resistance.
[0043] The lower end of the valve body 100 is provided with a sealing ring 102 that cooperates with the valve plate door 200. The valve plate door 200 will abut against the sealing ring 102, making the seal tighter. In this way, when a fire occurs, the check valve is locked by the locking tongue 409, which effectively isolates the fire in the public exhaust duct or the indoor fire, and prevents the fire from being delayed or the smoke from being leaked.
[0044] The set temperature of the temperature sensing element 306 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different working environments.
