The structure, connection mode and functional relationship of each main component of the one-way valve according to the present disclosure will be described in detail below in combination with the above drawings.
[0056] As shown in Figures 1 to 7 In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the valve body comprises a valve seat 100 and a valve cover 200. In the axial direction, the valve seat 100 has a first end portion facing the valve cover 200, the valve cover 200 has a second end portion facing the valve seat 100, and the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200 are connected via the first end portion and the second end portion. On this basis, the end face of the first end portion is provided with a ring-shaped boss 110, and the end face of the second end portion is provided with a ring-shaped groove 210, the ring-shaped boss 110 is accommodated in the ring-shaped groove 210, and the ring-shaped boss 110 and the ring-shaped groove 210 are arranged around the valve cavity. The material of the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200 is plastic, the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200 are connected by welding between the ring-shaped boss 110 and the ring-shaped groove 210, and the welding mark formed by welding is filled in the ring-shaped groove 210 and bonded with the groove wall of the ring-shaped groove 210. Through the above structure design, the present disclosure uses plastic as the material of the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200, which can reduce the material cost of the one-way valve. On this basis, the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200 made of plastic are difficult to be connected and assembled by the existing riveting process. Therefore, the present disclosure assembles and welds the ring-shaped boss 110 and the ring-shaped groove 210, so that the connection of the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200 is more reliable, and the fixed assembly effect of the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200 is improved.
[0057] It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 7 The embodiment shown is described by taking the ring-shaped boss 110 arranged on the valve seat 100 and the ring-shaped groove 210 arranged on the valve cover 200 as an example. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the ring-shaped boss 110 can also be arranged on the end face of the second end portion of the valve cover 200, and the ring-shaped groove 210 can also be arranged on the end face of the first end portion of the valve seat 100. In other words, in various possible embodiments consistent with the design concept of the present disclosure, the end face of one of the first end portion and the second end portion is provided with the ring-shaped boss 110, and the end face of the other is provided with the ring-shaped groove 210.
[0058] As shown in Figure 2As shown in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the material of the valve cover 200 can be light-transmitting plastic, and the material of the valve seat 100 can be light-blocking plastic. In other words, among the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200, the material of the one provided with the annular groove 210 is light-transmitting plastic, and the material of the other is light-blocking plastic. On this basis, the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200 can be welded and connected by laser welding between the annular boss 110 and the annular groove 210, and accordingly, the welding process can be referred to as Figure 2 The laser irradiation direction shown is used as an auxiliary understanding, and accordingly, the end of the annular boss 110 facing the annular groove 210 is partially melted to form a welding mark during the welding process. Through the above design, the present disclosure can utilize laser to pass through the valve cover 200 with light-transmitting plastic material and irradiate to the annular boss 110, and accordingly, the melting of the welded end 111 of the annular boss 110 is realized, so as to bond with the groove wall of the annular groove 210.
[0059] As shown in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the material of the valve cover 200 can be light-transmitting plastic, and the material of the valve seat 100 can be light-blocking plastic. In other words, among the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200, the material of the one provided with the annular groove 210 is light-transmitting plastic, and the material of the other is light-blocking plastic. On this basis, the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200 can be welded and connected by laser welding between the annular boss 110 and the annular groove 210, and accordingly, the welding process can be referred to as Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the annular boss 110 has a welded end 111 facing the valve cover 200, and the welded end 111 is in contact with the bottom wall 2103 of the annular groove 210. Among them, the welded end 111 can act as a welding rod when the valve cover 200 and the valve seat 100 are welded, that is, the welded end 111 is melted during welding and bonded with the bottom wall 2103 of the annular groove 210. Through the above structural design, by utilizing the material properties of plastic, the present disclosure can utilize the welded end 111 as a welding rod to melt during welding and bond with the bottom wall 2103, ensuring the smooth implementation of welding.
[0060] As shown in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the annular boss 110 has a welded end 111 facing the valve cover 200, and the welded end 111 is in contact with the bottom wall 2103 of the annular groove 210. Among them, the welded end 111 can act as a welding rod when the valve cover 200 and the valve seat 100 are welded, that is, the welded end 111 is melted during welding and bonded with the bottom wall 2103 of the annular groove 210. Through the above structural design, by utilizing the material properties of plastic, the present disclosure can utilize the welded end 111 as a welding rod to melt during welding and bond with the bottom wall 2103, ensuring the smooth implementation of welding. Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the annular boss 110 is not welded, the welded end 111 has a gap G1 between the two side walls of the annular groove 210, for example, between the two side faces of the welded end 111 and the inner groove wall 2101 and the outer groove wall 2102 of the annular groove 210. And since the connecting end 111 will at least partially melt during the welding process as a welding rod, that is, the length of the connecting end 111 when not welded is greater than the groove depth of the annular groove 210, therefore, there will be an assembly gap G2 between the valve cover 200 and the valve seat 100 when not welded. Accordingly, the welded end 111 melts during welding to fill at least part of the gap G1 and bond with the groove wall of the annular groove 210. And because the welded end 111 partially melts, the assembly gap G2 between the valve cover 200 and the valve seat 100 disappears, that is, the valve cover 200 and the valve seat 100 abut. Through the above structural design, by utilizing the material properties of plastic, the present disclosure can accommodate the volume expansion of the melted material during welding by reserving the gap G1, ensuring the smooth implementation of welding. It should be noted that in order to show the state of the welded end 111 not melted and the assembly gap G2, Figure 4The state of the ring-shaped boss 110 and the ring-shaped groove 210 when not welded is shown. It should be understood that when the one-way valve product according to the principles of the present disclosure is disassembled, for example, cut, the gap G1 described above can not be observed between the ring-shaped groove 210 and the ring-shaped boss 110, that is, the molten welding mark can have completely filled the space not occupied by the ring-shaped boss 110 in the ring-shaped groove 210. In some embodiments, the gap G1 described above can also be formed in other ways, for example, the groove width of the ring-shaped groove 210 at the welding end portion 111 is greater than the groove width of the ring-shaped groove 210 at other parts of the ring-shaped boss 110, at which time the width of the connection end portion 111 in the radial direction and the width of the other parts of the ring-shaped boss 110 in the radial direction are not limited, for example, can be equal, and the gap G1 described above can also be formed, and is not limited to the present embodiment.
[0061] In order to facilitate the formation of the gap G1, the ring-shaped boss 110 includes two sections with different widths in the radial direction, namely the welding end portion 111 and the other parts of the non-welding end portion 111, and the groove width of the ring-shaped groove 210 is equally arranged. When the ring-shaped boss 110 is not welded, the width of the welding end portion 111 in the radial direction is less than the width of the other parts of the ring-shaped boss 110 in the radial direction, so that when the ring-shaped boss 110 is assembled in the ring-shaped groove 210, the welding end portion 111 forms a gap G1 between the two side walls of the ring-shaped groove 210; wherein the welding end portion 111 melts to fill at least part of the gap G1 when welded.
[0062] As shown in Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the ring-shaped boss 110 has an inner ring surface 1101 and an outer ring surface 1102, and the ring-shaped groove 210 has an inner side groove wall 2101 facing the inner ring surface 1101 and an outer side groove wall 2102 facing the outer ring surface 1102. On this basis, in the axial direction, the height of the inner side groove wall 2101 can be greater than the height of the outer side groove wall 2102, so that the valve cover 200 forms a protruding portion 220 further protruding towards the valve seat 100 at the inner side groove wall 2101 of the ring-shaped groove 210. Through the above structural design, the present disclosure can prolong the corresponding arrangement length in the axial direction between the inner side groove wall 2101 and the inner ring surface 1101, and accordingly further prolong the leakage path between the connection part of the ring-shaped boss 110 and the ring-shaped groove 210 and the outside, and further improve the sealing performance of the one-way valve.
[0063] As shown in Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the annular boss 110 has an inner annular surface 1101 and an outer annular surface 1102, and the annular groove 210 has an inner groove wall 2101 and an outer groove wall 2102. Based on this, the inner annular surface 1101 and the inner groove wall 2101 can be an interference fit. Accordingly, during assembly, the inner annular surface 1101 and the inner groove wall 2101 can be press-fitted together with the interference fit to ensure coaxiality during assembly and prevent misalignment between different components during subsequent welding. Through the above structural design, this disclosure can optimize the assembly quality of the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200, and is beneficial to improving the structural strength and sealing performance of the one-way valve.
[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the valve cover 200 may include a body portion 201 and an annular assembly portion 202, which is disposed on the periphery of the body portion 201 near the valve seat 100. Based on this, an annular groove 210 may be disposed in the annular assembly portion 202. Through the above structural design, this disclosure utilizes the annular assembly portion 202 to provide the annular groove 210 and to assemble and weld it to the valve seat 100, thereby eliminating the need to design the body portion 201 to match the size of the valve seat 100, which helps to reduce the volume of the valve cover 200.
[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, based on the structural design of the annular groove 210 disposed in the annular assembly portion 202, in one embodiment of this disclosure, along the axial direction, the groove depth H1 of the annular groove 210 in the thickness H2 of the annular assembly portion 202 can be 1 / 2 to 3 / 4, for example, 1 / 2, 3 / 5, 5 / 8, 2 / 3, or 3 / 4. Through the above structural design, this disclosure can avoid the groove depth H1 of the annular groove 210 being too small, thus affecting the assembly strength of the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200, and at the same time, it can avoid the groove depth H1 of the annular groove 210 being too large, thus affecting the structural strength of the annular assembly portion 202. In some embodiments, the groove depth H1 of the annular groove 210 in the thickness H2 of the annular assembly portion 202 can also be less than 1 / 2 or greater than 3 / 4, for example, 2 / 5 or 4 / 5, and is not limited to this embodiment.
[0066] like Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown in the drawings, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the valve seat 100 has a first cavity 101 which is open at the first end, and the valve cover 200 has a second cavity 203 which is open at the second end, and the first cavity 101 and the second cavity 203 are in communication and jointly form a valve cavity of the valve body. On this basis, the valve cover 200 can be manufactured by an injection molding process, the annular groove 210 is arranged on the end face of the second end of the valve cover 200, and the second end face can also be provided with a process groove 230 which is arranged between the annular groove 210 and the second cavity 203 in a spaced manner. Through the above structural design, the present disclosure can avoid that the thickness of the valve cover 200 at the position between the annular groove 210 and the second cavity 203 is too large, and accordingly avoid that the above position is deformed in the injection molding process of the valve cover 200.
[0067] As shown in the drawings, Figure 7 In an embodiment of the present disclosure based on the structural design that the process groove 230 is arranged on the second end face of the valve cover 200, the process groove 230 can be annular, that is, the process groove 230 is arranged around the second cavity 203. Through the above structural design, the present disclosure can further avoid that the valve cover 200 is deformed in the injection molding process.
[0068] As shown in the drawings, Figure 7 In an embodiment of the present disclosure based on the structural design that the annular process groove 230 is arranged on the second end face of the valve cover 200, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 231 can be arranged in the process groove 230, and the reinforcing ribs 231 are arranged in a circumferential direction in a spaced manner to divide the process groove 230 into a plurality of sub-groove bodies. Through the above structural design, the present disclosure can provide a supporting and reinforcing function by the reinforcing ribs 231 to avoid that the valve cover 200 is deformed due to the arrangement of the annular process groove 230.
[0069] It should be noted that the one-way valve shown in the drawings and described in the specification is only a few examples of many kinds of one-way valves that can adopt the principles of the present disclosure. It should be clearly understood that the principles of the present disclosure are by no means limited to any details or any components of the one-way valve shown in the drawings or described in the specification.
[0070] In summary, the valve body of the one-way valve provided by the present disclosure comprises a valve seat 100 and a valve cover 200, the first end of the valve seat 100 is opposite to the second end of the valve cover 200; the end face of one of the first end and the second end is provided with a ring-shaped boss 110, and the end face of the other one is provided with a ring-shaped groove 210, the ring-shaped boss 110 is accommodated in the ring-shaped groove 210, and the ring-shaped boss 110 and the ring-shaped groove 210 are arranged around the valve cavity; the materials of the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200 are plastic, the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200 are welded and connected between the ring-shaped boss 110 and the ring-shaped groove 210, the welding marks formed by welding are filled in the ring-shaped groove 210 and are bonded with the groove wall of the ring-shaped groove 210. Through the above structure design, the present disclosure adopts plastic as the material of the valve seat 100 and the valve cover 200, so as to reduce the material cost of the one-way valve.
