[0002] In many fields such as industrial production and fluid delivery, flow regulating device is the key component to realize accurate control of fluid flow. However, the traditional flow regulating device exposes many problems in practical application. In terms of operation stability, many conventional flow regulating devices only rely on a single knob for operation, which makes it easy for the knob to rotate due to personnel mis-touch or accidental collision in complex working environment, and further causes unnecessary changes in the flow regulating state of the device. Such misoperation may cause a series of production accidents or reduce production efficiency, seriously affecting the normal operation of the system. Sealing performance is an important performance indicator of flow regulating device. The sealing structure design of traditional device is relatively simple, usually only a single sealing washer or sealing ring is used. In the face of high pressure, high corrosive fluid and long-term use, sealing failure is easy to occur, leading to fluid leakage. This not only causes resource waste, but also may pollute the environment, and even endanger the safety of operating personnel. Structural stability is related to the service life and reliability of flow regulating device. The internal structure connection of part of traditional device is not firm enough, when subjected to external forces such as vibration and impact, internal components are easy to loosen, displace or even fall off, thereby affecting the normal work of the device and increasing the maintenance frequency and cost of equipment.
[0003] In addition, the assembly process of traditional flow regulating device is often complex, which requires professional personnel to spend a lot of time and effort to operate. Moreover, during later maintenance, due to unreasonable structure design, it is difficult to disassemble and replace faulty components, further increasing the downtime and maintenance cost of equipment.

[0028] As Figures 1-4As shown, a flow regulating device with locking mechanism includes a knob subassembly A, an upper housing subassembly B and a lower housing subassembly C, the knob subassembly A is installed between the upper housing subassembly B and the lower housing subassembly C, the knob subassembly A includes an adjusting knob 1, an anti-rotation sleeve 8, a secondary knob 9 and a lead screw 10, the lower half of the lead screw 10 is screwed into the inside of the adjusting knob 1, the anti-rotation sleeve 8 is installed on the upper part of the adjusting knob 1, the upper half of the lead screw 10 is screwed into the inside of the secondary knob 9 through the anti-rotation sleeve 8, an anti-disengagement ring 11 is installed between the anti-rotation sleeve 8 and the secondary knob 9, a groove 80 is provided on the anti-rotation sleeve 8, and an anti-rotation pin 12 is provided in the groove 80, the upper housing subassembly B includes an upper housing 2, a second inner sealing ring 5 and an outer sealing ring 7, the second inner sealing ring 5 is installed at the interface on the inner side of the upper housing 2, the outer sealing ring 7 is installed at the interface on the outer side of the upper housing 2, and the upper housing 2 is also provided with a connecting groove 200.
[0029] The lower housing subassembly C includes a lower housing 3, a fixed part 30 and a connecting protrusion 31, the knob subassembly A is connected with the lower housing 3 through the fixed part 30, the connecting protrusion 31 is arranged at the interface on the inner side of the lower housing 3, a group of inner sealing pads 6 are arranged at the connection between the knob subassembly A, the upper housing subassembly B and the lower housing subassembly C, the inner wall of the inner sealing pad 6 is provided with an arc shape matched with the knob subassembly A, and the inner sealing pad 6 is also provided with a through hole 60 corresponding to the knob subassembly A.
[0030] The adjusting knob 1 includes a rotating part 101, an adjusting handle 102, a connecting core 103 and a first sealing ring 4, the adjusting handle 102 is installed on one side of the rotating part 101, the connecting core 103 is installed at the lower end of the rotating part 101, the first sealing ring 4 is arranged between the rotating part 101 and the connecting core 103, the connecting core 103 is provided with a flow guide hole 105, the middle section of the lead screw 10 is provided with a clamping groove 100, one side of the anti-rotation pin 12 is provided with a U-shaped groove 120, and the U-shaped groove 120 of the anti-rotation pin 12 is matched with the clamping groove 100. When connected, the flow guide hole 105 on the adjusting knob 1 is connected with the through hole 60 on the inner sealing pad 6.
[0031] When it is necessary to adjust the flow or close the channel, the adjusting knob 1 and the secondary knob 9 need to be rotated synchronously. Since the lower half of the lead screw 10 is screwed into the inside of the adjusting knob 1 and the upper half is screwed into the inside of the secondary knob 9, when rotated synchronously, the lead screw 10 will move axially under the action of the adjusting knob 1 and the secondary knob 9, the rotating part 101 of the adjusting knob 1 drives the connecting core 103 to rotate, and the connecting core 103 is provided with a flow guide hole 105. With the axial movement of the lead screw 10, the degree of connection between the flow guide hole 105 and the through hole 60 on the inner sealing pad 6 changes, thereby realizing the adjustment of the flow. When the flow guide hole 105 is completely misaligned with the through hole 60, the pipeline is closed.
[0032] When the adjustment knob 1 is rotated alone, the U-shaped groove 120 of the anti-rotation pin 12 is embedded in the clamping groove 100 of the lead screw 10, and the anti-rotation pin 12 is installed in the groove 80 of the anti-rotation sleeve 8, so the anti-rotation sleeve 8 limits the rotation of the anti-rotation pin 12, and the lead screw 10 cannot rotate, so adjustment cannot be achieved. Similarly, the secondary knob 9 cannot be adjusted when it is rotated alone.
[0033] In the initial communication state, the flow guide hole 105 on the adjustment knob 1 is in communication with the through hole 60 on the inner sealing gasket 6, and fluid can flow between the two pipelines through the flow guide hole 105 and the through hole 60.
[0034] Since the adjustment knob 1 or the secondary knob 9 cannot achieve flow adjustment or pipeline closing when rotated alone, only synchronous rotation of the two can operate, which greatly reduces the possibility of unnecessary changes in the posture of the flow adjustment device due to accidental touch or accidental single rotation of the adjustment knob 1, and improves the stability and reliability of the device.
[0035] The second inner sealing ring 5 is arranged at the inner interface of the upper shell 2, the outer sealing ring 7 is arranged at the outer interface, the inner sealing gasket 6 is arranged at the connection between the knob sub-assembly A and the upper and lower shell sub-assemblies, and the multi-channel sealing structure ensures the sealing performance of the device when connected with the pipeline and the internal components, effectively preventing fluid leakage and ensuring the accuracy of flow adjustment and normal operation of the device.
[0036] The anti-disengagement ring 11 is arranged between the anti-rotation sleeve 8 and the secondary knob 9, and is fixedly connected with the anti-rotation sleeve 8 by laser welding. This structure design ensures the stability of the connection between the internal components of the knob sub-assembly A, and avoids affecting the performance of the device due to component loosening during long-term use.
[0037] The threaded connection between the lead screw 10 and the adjustment knob 1 and the secondary knob 9, and the embedded structure of the anti-rotation pin 12 and the clamping groove 100 of the lead screw 10, make the structure of the entire device more stable, and can withstand certain external forces without damage or displacement.
[0038] The assembly process of the device is clear. First, the lower shell sub-assembly C is assembled with the lead screw, and then the anti-rotation sleeve, the anti-rotation pin, the secondary knob, and the anti-disengagement ring are assembled in sequence to form a flow adjustment device assembly with a locking mechanism. This assembly method is convenient for production and maintenance and repair in the later stage. If a component fails, it can also be easily disassembled and replaced.
[0039] By synchronously rotating the adjustment knob 1 and the secondary knob 9, the axial movement of the lead screw 10 can be accurately controlled, and the degree of communication between the flow guide hole 105 and the through hole 60 can be accurately changed, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the flow and meeting the demand for fluid flow control in different scenarios.
[0040] The above-mentioned is only the embodiment of the present application, and the common knowledge of the specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail, the ordinary skilled in the art knows all the ordinary technical knowledge in the technical field of the present application before the application date or the priority date, can know all the prior art in the field, and has the ability to apply the conventional experimental means before the date, the ordinary skilled in the art can improve and implement the present scheme under the inspiration given in the present application, and some typical known structures or known methods should not become an obstacle for the ordinary skilled in the art to implement the present application.
