Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve technology and relates to a vacuum on / off control valve for a vacuum adsorption platform. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum adsorption platforms play a crucial role in numerous industrial and related applications, and the opening and closing control of their pipelines is essential for the precision and efficiency of the entire adsorption operation. Currently, pneumatic ball valves are commonly used to control the opening and closing of the pipelines in vacuum adsorption platforms.
[0003] However, this control method has certain limitations. On the one hand, the purchase, installation, and associated air supply costs of pneumatic ball valves are relatively high, increasing the overall equipment investment and operating costs. On the other hand, pneumatic ball valves themselves have performance deficiencies; their permissible switching frequency is relatively low, making it difficult to meet the needs of some pipelines requiring frequent opening and closing operations. Moreover, with frequent switching actions, the valve body of the pneumatic ball valve is prone to wear, leading to damage. This not only affects normal pipeline control functions but may also cause equipment failure, increasing maintenance costs and downtime, which is detrimental to the continuous and stable operation of related tasks.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technologies to overcome their shortcomings. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vacuum on / off control valve, which solves the technical problems mentioned in the background art by improving the valve structure.

The first sealing gasket is directly opposite the exhaust port and can cover the outer contour of the exhaust port, and the second sealing gasket is directly opposite the first channel and can cover the outer contour of the first channel.
[0010] As a further improvement of one embodiment of the present invention, the valve cavity has a "cubic prism" structure, the cylinder and the filter elbow are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the valve cavity, the vacuum tube is set at the upper end of the valve cavity, and the vacuum adapter is set on one side wall of the valve cavity.
[0011] As a further improvement of one embodiment of the present invention, the end of the filter elbow has a first flange, which can be locked onto the valve cavity by bolts.

Example
[0034] See Figures 1-4 As shown, a vacuum on / off control valve is designed to solve the problems of high cost, limited switching frequency, and easy wear and damage of valve body that exist in the existing control of vacuum adsorption platform pipelines using pneumatic ball valves.
[0035] The vacuum on / off control valve mainly includes a valve body 1, which contains a first chamber 13 and a second chamber 12 that are interconnected, with a first channel 15 between them. Multiple interfaces are arranged on the valve body 1, including an exhaust port 14, a vacuum port 16, and an air outlet. The exhaust port 14 and the vacuum port 16 are located on one side of and connected to the first chamber 13, while the air outlet is located on one side of and connected to the second chamber 12.
[0036] To ensure the effective operation of each function, the valve chamber 1 is equipped with various adapter components. A filter elbow 3, connected to the exhaust port 14, is open to the atmosphere and filters the air entering the first chamber 13. A vacuum adapter pipe 5, connected to the vacuum port 16, can be connected to external vacuum equipment. A vacuum pipe 4, connected to the exhaust port, is also connected to the adsorption platform.
[0037] A valve 6 is installed in the first chamber 13, which is a key component for controlling the gas passage. A cylinder assembly is installed on the valve body 1, which drives the valve 6 to move back and forth within the first chamber 13. Through this driving method, the valve 6 can precisely switch back and forth between blocking the exhaust port 14 and the first channel 15, thereby achieving selective connection between the vacuum adapter 5 and the filter elbow 3 or the vacuum tube 4, effectively and flexibly controlling the gas flow in the vacuum tube 4, and enabling the adsorption platform to operate effectively.
[0038] Specifically, the cylinder assembly includes a cylinder 2 mounted on the valve chamber 1 and a connecting rod 9 connected to the cylinder 2. The connecting rod 9 passes through the second chamber 12 and the first channel 15 and is fixedly connected to the valve 6, working together to achieve precise driving and control of the valve.
[0039] In this vacuum on / off control valve, a first sealing gasket 8 and a second sealing gasket 7 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the valve 6.
[0040] The first sealing gasket 8, located at the front end of valve 6, is positioned directly opposite exhaust port 14. When valve 6 is in a specific operating state, the first sealing gasket 8 precisely covers the outer contour of exhaust port 14, thereby forming a reliable sealing effect and effectively preventing gas leakage from exhaust port 14. At this time, the vacuum adapter 5 is connected to the vacuum tube 4 through the first channel 15, enabling external vacuum equipment to provide adsorption force to the adsorption platform connected to the vacuum tube 4.
[0041] The second sealing gasket 7, located at the rear end of valve 6, faces the first channel 15. During the operation of valve 6, the second sealing gasket 7 tightly covers the outer contour of the first channel 15, thereby forming a reliable seal and effectively preventing gas leakage from the first channel 15. At this time, valve 6 blocks the gas path between vacuum adapter 5 and vacuum pipe 4, cutting off the adsorption force of the adsorption platform. Simultaneously, vacuum adapter 5 is connected to filter elbow 3, and external air flows from vacuum adapter 5 to external vacuum equipment after being filtered by filter elbow 3.
[0042] The above structural design ensures the sealing and accuracy of the entire vacuum on / off control valve when controlling the gas flow, further improving the performance and stability of the equipment.
[0043] In this embodiment, the valve cavity 1 has a cuboid structure, which facilitates the rational layout of the components. The cylinder 2 and the filter elbow 3 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the valve cavity 1, which contributes to the overall balance and stability. The vacuum tube 4 is located at the upper end of the valve cavity 1 for easy connection with external equipment to achieve gas transmission. The vacuum adapter tube 5 is installed on one side wall of the valve cavity 1.
[0044] It is worth mentioning that the end of the filter elbow 3 is equipped with a first flange, which can be firmly locked to the valve cavity 1 with bolts, ensuring the stability of the connection and the convenience of disassembly and assembly. Similarly, the end of the vacuum adapter 5 has a second flange, which is also firmly fixed to the valve cavity 1 with bolts. This series of installation designs ensures reliable connection between the various components of the entire vacuum on / off control valve, thereby improving the overall convenience of disassembly and assembly.
[0045] The valve chamber 1 of this vacuum on / off control valve has a removable cover plate 11 on its upper end face. The cover plate 11 is securely locked to the valve chamber 1 with bolts to ensure a seal. The vacuum tube 4 is installed on the cover plate 11. This design allows the cover plate 11 to be easily removed when the equipment needs maintenance, facilitating internal inspection and maintenance of the vacuum tube 4.
[0046] This invention uses cylinder 2 to drive valve 6 to open and close the adsorption platform, allowing the vacuum pump connected to vacuum adapter 5 and filter elbow 3 to be connected to the atmosphere, preventing the vacuum pump from stalling and burning out. Its overall structure is simple, offering fast switching speeds to quickly respond to different working needs of the adsorption platform, and minimal wear between components, significantly extending its service life. Furthermore, features such as a removable cover plate on the upper surface of the valve chamber greatly facilitate maintenance, allowing for easy inspection and repair, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the equipment.

Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
