Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of microbubble technology for water equipment, specifically relating to an ultra-microbubble angle valve. Background Technology
[0002] Microbubbles are bubbles with diameters ranging from tens of micrometers to hundreds of nanometers when they are generated. These bubbles are between microbubbles and nanobubbles and have physical and chemical properties that conventional bubbles do not possess. They can be used in household cleaning scenarios, including laundry and dishwashing.
[0003] Generally, in a household water system, to ensure smooth water flow, water-using appliances such as kitchen sinks, water heaters, and toilets need to be connected to water pipes via angle valves. If the water flow is to carry microbubbles, the existing solution is to install a microbubble generator at the connection between the angle valve and the water-using appliance. However, this solution is difficult and inconvenient to install in confined spaces, such as under the sink or beside the toilet. Furthermore, the microbubble generator occupies a significant amount of space, encroaching on the installation space of other water pipes. Additionally, the connection point after installing the microbubble generator is prone to deformation or damage after impact. Therefore, an angle valve that can both generate microbubbles and be easy to install is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an ultra-microbubble angle valve to solve the problems of inconvenient installation, large space occupation, and easy deformation or damage after impact when adding a microbubble generator to the existing angle valve.
[0005] One embodiment of this utility model provides an ultra-microbubble angle valve, comprising:
[0006] The valve body includes an inlet end, an outlet end, and an adjustment end, wherein the inlet end is connected to the outlet end through the adjustment end;
[0007] The valve core is rotatably disposed within the adjusting end, and a fluid passage is provided in the valve core;
[0008] A handwheel is rotatably mounted on the adjusting end and is connected to the valve core via a transmission. The handwheel is configured to adjust the opening and closing of the fluid passage.
[0009] The microbubble generating structure includes an upper hurricane plate and a lower hurricane plate. Both the upper and lower hurricane plates are provided with water passage holes. The upper hurricane plate is located inside the water outlet on the side close to the valve core, and the lower hurricane plate is located inside the water outlet on the side away from the valve core. The microbubble generating structure is used to generate microbubbles from the water flow at the water outlet.
[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the water passage is an oblique hole, and the inclination angle of the oblique hole is 5-10 degrees.
[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the central axis of the water passage is inclined to and does not intersect with the central axis of the upper hurricane plate or the lower hurricane plate.
[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, the water passage holes of the upper hurricane plate and the water passage holes of the lower hurricane plate form a certain deflection angle in the vertical direction.
[0013] The deflection angle ranges from 30 to 60 degrees.
[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, at least three water passage holes are provided on the upper hurricane plate and the lower hurricane plate, and the number of water passage holes on the upper hurricane plate and the lower hurricane plate may be the same or different.
[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the water outlet is provided with an installation stepped surface, and the upper hurricane plate and the lower hurricane plate are sequentially arranged on the installation stepped surface;
[0016] The upper hurricane plate and the lower hurricane plate are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water outlet end by seamless welding.
[0017] In one embodiment of this utility model, the valve core is a ceramic quick-opening valve core, the fluid channel is an inverted L-shaped channel connecting the bottom of the valve core to the side wall, the bottom of the inverted L-shaped channel is connected to the water outlet, and the top of the inverted L-shaped channel is connected to the water inlet within a predetermined rotation angle.
[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, a sealing element is provided between the valve core and the top end of the adjusting end, and a sealing element is provided between the valve core and the bottom of the inner wall of the adjusting end.
[0019] In one embodiment of this utility model, the sealing element is a sealing ring or a silicone gasket; a decorative ring is also fitted on the outer side of the water inlet end.
[0020] In one embodiment of this utility model, the outer surface of the handwheel is provided with a diamond surface;
[0021] And / or, the top of the handwheel is provided with a laser marking.
[0022] The microbubble angle valve provided by this utility model can achieve the following technical effects:
[0023] 1. The microbubble generating structure, composed of the upper and lower hurricane plates, is integrated into the outlet end of the valve body. This allows for the direct replacement of old angle valves with the angle valve featuring the microbubble generating structure, making installation and use convenient. It can also be used normally in narrow spaces without taking up extra space.
[0024] 2. By setting a microbubble generating structure at the water outlet, when the angle valve is opened, the water flows through the upper and lower hurricane plates, and the flow rate is changed by the water passage, which releases the dissolved gas in the water. The gas then collides with the high-speed water flow from the inner wall of the water outlet or other water passages, further breaking it into microbubbles. This allows the outflowing water to carry microbubbles, resulting in better cleaning ability.
[0025] 3. By setting multiple sealing elements between the valve core and the regulating end, the sealing performance at the valve core connection is improved; and by setting a diamond surface on the outer side of the handwheel and a laser mark on the top, the user can quickly locate the position of the handwheel, enabling blind operation; it also makes the angle valve more aesthetically pleasing and increases its recognizability.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-5 One embodiment of this utility model provides an ultra-microbubble angle valve, comprising:
[0037] Valve body 1, the valve body 1 includes an inlet end 11, an outlet end 12 and an adjustment end 13, the inlet end 11 is connected to the outlet end 12 through the adjustment end 13;
[0038] The valve core 2 is rotatably disposed within the adjusting end 13, and the valve core 2 is provided with a fluid channel 21.
[0039] The handwheel 3 is rotatably mounted on the adjusting end 13, and the handwheel 3 is connected to the valve core 2 in a transmission manner. The handwheel 3 is configured to adjust the opening and closing of the fluid channel 21.
[0040] The microbubble generating structure 4 includes an upper hurricane plate 41 and a lower hurricane plate 42. Both the upper hurricane plate 41 and the lower hurricane plate 42 are provided with water passage holes 5. The upper hurricane plate 41 is located inside the water outlet 12 on the side close to the valve core 2, and the lower hurricane plate 42 is located inside the water outlet 12 on the side away from the valve core 2. The microbubble generating structure 4 is used to generate microbubbles from the water flow at the water outlet 12.
[0041] In this embodiment, the structural principle is as follows: By setting a microbubble generating structure 4 at the water outlet 12, when the angle valve is opened, the water flows through the upper hurricane plate 41 and the lower hurricane plate 42, and the flow rate of the water is changed by the water passage 5, so that the dissolved gas in the water is released and further broken into microbubbles by colliding with the high-speed water flow from the inner wall of the water outlet 12 or other water passages 5; thereby realizing that the outflowing water carries microbubbles and has good cleaning ability.
[0042] Understandably, by integrating the microbubble generating structure 4, composed of the upper hurricane plate 41 and the lower hurricane plate 42, into the outlet end 12 of the valve body 1, the old angle valve can be directly replaced with the angle valve with the microbubble generating structure 4 in this utility model. It is convenient to install and use, and can be used normally in narrow spaces without taking up extra space.
[0043] The inlet end 11 and the outlet end 12 are provided with external threads for threaded connection to the inlet or outlet pipes; the valve core 2 is threadedly fixed to the regulating end 13 via a threaded connection seat.
[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, the water passage 5 is an oblique hole, and the inclination angle of the oblique hole is 5-10 degrees.
[0045] Understandably, by setting the water passage 5 as an oblique hole, the flow velocity of the water flowing out of the water passage 5 is increased, while the high-speed water flow is decelerated by colliding with the inner wall of the water outlet 12. The flow velocity of the water changes rapidly in a short time, which is more conducive to the precipitation of dissolved gas in the water to form bubbles, and further breaks them into smaller bubbles under the impact of the water flow.
[0046] Furthermore, by setting the tilt angle of the inclined hole between 5 and 10 degrees, not only are the above effects achieved, but noise caused by excessive water flow impact angle can also be avoided.
[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, the central axis of the water passage 5 is inclined to and does not intersect with the central axis of the upper hurricane plate 41 or the lower hurricane plate 42.
[0048] Understandably, when the upper hurricane plate 41 or the lower hurricane plate 42 is placed vertically, the vertical plane containing the central axis of the water passage hole 5 is parallel to the central axis of the upper hurricane plate 41 or the lower hurricane plate 42; this facilitates the machining of the water passage hole 5 in the upper hurricane plate 41 or the lower hurricane plate 42 by drilling or other means, while ensuring that the upper hurricane plate 41 or the lower hurricane plate 42 retains good structural strength.
[0049] In one embodiment of this utility model, the water passage hole 5 of the upper hurricane plate 41 and the water passage hole 5 of the lower hurricane plate 42 form a certain deflection angle in the vertical direction.
[0050] The deflection angle ranges from 30 to 60 degrees.
[0051] Understandably, by setting the water passage holes 5 of the upper hurricane plate 41 and the lower hurricane plate 42 to be staggered, the water flow can better impact the microbubbles 4, thereby better forming microbubbles.
[0052] In one application scenario of this embodiment, the deflection angle is 45 degrees.
[0053] In one embodiment of this utility model, at least three water passage holes 5 are provided on the upper hurricane plate 41 and the lower hurricane plate 42, and the number of water passage holes 5 on the upper hurricane plate 41 and the lower hurricane plate 42 may be the same or different.
[0054] Understandably, by setting multiple water passages 5, the more complex turbulence formed when the water flows through the upper hurricane plate 41 and the lower hurricane plate 42 helps to release gas from the water flow and form bubbles.
[0055] In one application scenario of this embodiment, the water passage holes 5 on the upper hurricane plate 41 and the lower hurricane plate 42 are set to 4.
[0056] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the water outlet 12 is provided with an installation stepped surface, and the upper hurricane plate 41 and the lower hurricane plate are sequentially arranged on the installation stepped surface;
[0057] The upper hurricane plate 41 and the lower hurricane plate 42 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water outlet 12 by seamless welding.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] In one embodiment of this utility model, the valve core 2 is a ceramic quick-opening valve core 2, the fluid channel 21 is an inverted L-shaped channel that connects the bottom of the valve core 2 to the side wall, the bottom of the inverted L-shaped channel is connected to the water outlet 12, and the top of the inverted L-shaped channel is connected to the water inlet 11 within a predetermined rotation angle.
[0060] Understandably, the ceramic quick-opening valve core 2 can be used in conjunction with materials such as plastic, copper, or stainless steel, making it suitable for applications requiring high-performance valve cores. It provides precise water flow control and meets high mechanical performance requirements. Furthermore, the ceramic quick-opening valve core 2 is designed with 90° and 180° rotation angles to suit various usage scenarios. Simultaneously, due to the aging and wear resistance of the ceramic valve core 2, it ensures operational stability, saves on maintenance costs and labor intensity, and reduces water waste.
[0061] In one embodiment of this utility model, a sealing element is provided between the valve core 2 and the top end of the adjusting end 13, and a sealing element (not shown) is provided between the valve core 2 and the bottom of the inner wall of the adjusting end 13.
[0062] The sealing element is a sealing ring or a silicone gasket; a decorative ring 6 is also fitted on the outer side of the water inlet 11.
[0063] The outer surface of the handwheel 3 is provided with a diamond surface; the top of the handwheel 3 is provided with a laser mark.
[0064] Understandably, by setting multiple sealing elements between the valve core 2 and the adjusting end 13, the sealing performance at the connection of the valve core 2 can be improved; and by setting a diamond surface on the outer side of the handwheel 3 and a laser mark on the top, the user can quickly locate the position of the handwheel 3, enabling blind operation; it also makes the angle valve more aesthetically pleasing and increases its recognizability.
[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
