Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fuel transmission equipment, and more particularly to a controllable valve. Background Technology
[0002] In fuel-powered aircraft, there are usually multiple fuel tanks. During the use of fuel, it is necessary to transfer fuel between multiple tanks. During the transfer of fuel, it may be necessary to control the on / off state and the opening degree of the fuel transfer. Most existing technologies use electronically controlled valves to achieve this. However, in the fuel transfer scenario, the use of electricity will undoubtedly increase safety risks and may lead to the occurrence of safety risks.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a controllable valve to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a controllable door to solve the above problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A controllable valve, comprising:
[0007] A movable door for opening and closing a connecting channel; one end of the movable door is rotatably connected to the connecting channel, which connects a first isolation space and a second isolation space, and is used to transmit a medium from the first isolation space to the second isolation space;
[0008] The pusher component includes a housing, a spring, a push rod, and a piston. The housing is fixedly installed in the second isolation space. A sliding channel is provided inside the housing. The first end of the housing has an opening for the first end of the push rod to extend into and out. The second end of the housing is used to connect to an actuating pressure source. The piston is slidably placed in the sliding channel and connected to the second end of the push rod. The spring is placed inside the first end of the housing and between the piston and the piston. The push rod is configured such that when the movable door closes the connecting channel, the first end of the push rod extends out and abuts against the side of the movable door near the second isolation space, and does not obstruct when the movable door is open.
[0009] In this application, a piston is moved by a pneumatic source, and a push rod also moves to push the movable door. When the push rod does not act on the movable door, the medium will push the movable door open under pressure and be transmitted along the first isolation space to the second isolation space. Under the action of the push rod, the movable door can be pushed to overcome the pressure and close the movable door or adjust the opening degree of the movable door. The entire control of the movable door is mechanical equipment without the intervention of electronic equipment. When the medium is flammable or explosive, there is no safety risk.

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a controllable valve, installed in flight equipment, includes:
[0024] The movable door 2 is used to open and close the connecting channel 1; the upper end of the movable door 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting channel 1 via a pivot 3. The connecting channel 1 connects the first oil tank (or an oil pipeline) and the second oil tank, and is used to transfer fuel from the first oil tank to the second oil tank.
[0025] Pushing component 5; Pushing component 5 includes housing 5-1, spring 5-2, push rod 5-3, and piston 5-4. Housing 5-1 is fixedly installed inside the second oil tank. A sliding channel is provided inside housing 5-1. The first end of housing 5-1 is provided with an opening for the first end of push rod 5-3 to extend into and out. The second end of housing 5-1 is used to connect to the actuation pressure source. Piston 5-4 is slidably placed in the sliding channel. Piston 5-4 is connected to the second end of push rod 5-3. Spring 5-2 is placed inside the first end of housing 5-1 and between it and piston 5-4. Push rod 5-3 is configured such that when the movable door 2 closes the connecting channel 1, the first end of push rod 5-3 extends and abuts against the side of movable door 2 near the second oil tank, and does not obstruct when movable door 2 is open.
[0026] like Figure 1 and4 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting channel 1 includes a flange 1-1 and a connecting seat 1-2. The connecting seat 1-2 is formed into a tubular structure. The flange 1-1 is installed on the outer wall of the first end of the connecting seat 1-2. The movable door 2 is used to open and close the second end of the connecting seat 1-2.
[0027] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments, the controllable valve further includes a mounting base 4, the first end of which is connected to the flange 1-1, and the housing 5-1 is fixedly mounted on the second end of the mounting base 4.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting base 4 includes a connecting plate 4-1, a U-shaped frame 4-2, and a connecting block 4-3. The connecting plate 4-1 is mounted on the end face of the flange 1-1. The open end of the U-shaped frame 4-2 is connected to the connecting plate 4-1. The connecting base 1-2 is placed inside the U-shaped frame 4-2. The connecting block 4-3 is mounted in the middle of the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 4-2, and a mounting hole 4-4 is provided on the connecting block 4-3. The second end of the outer shell 5-1 is mounted on the first end of the connecting block 4-3, and the second end of the outer shell 5-1 is connected to the first end of the mounting hole 4-4.
[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the controllable valve also includes a connecting pipe 6, the first end of which is threadedly connected to the second end of the mounting hole 4-4, and the second end of the connecting pipe 6 is connected to the actuation pressure source.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, when the movable door 2 closes the connecting channel 1, the movable door 2 is perpendicular to the push rod 5-3.
[0031] In some embodiments, the pressure source can be connected to a pressure pipeline that supplies oil to the engine, where the oil itself is pressurized and can be used as the power to push the sliding mechanism; in addition, a pressure control valve can be installed on the pipeline used to transmit the pressurized oil source to regulate the pressure acting on the piston 5-4, thereby controlling the opening or closing or the degree of opening of the movable door 2; it should be noted that the pressure control valve needs to be located outside the second oil tank, and because it is located outside the second oil tank, an electronic valve can be used.
[0032] During installation, it should be noted that flange 1-1 can be installed on the inner wall of the second oil tank, with an opening in the inner wall of the second oil tank connecting externally to the first oil tank (or an oil pipeline), and internally to connecting seat 1-2. Alternatively, flange 1-1 can be installed on the first oil tank (or an oil pipeline), with an opening in the inner wall of the second oil tank connecting externally to the first oil tank (or an oil pipeline), and connecting seat 1-2 and its movable door 2 located inside the second oil tank.
[0033] In operation, the pressure source acts on one side of the piston 5-4 via the connecting pipe 6 and the mounting hole 4-4 on the connecting block 4-3. Under pressure, the piston 5-4 compresses the spring 5-2 and moves forward. The push rod 5-3 connected to the piston 5-4 then pushes forward to act on the movable door 2. When the movable door 2 needs to be closed, the push rod 5-3 pushes the movable door 2 until it fits against the end of the connecting seat 1-2, thus closing the connecting channel 1. When the movable door 2 needs to be partially opened, the relationship between the pressure input of the pressure source, the elasticity of the spring 5-2, and the force exerted by the delivered fuel on the other side of the movable door 2 can be adjusted. When the movable door 2 needs to be fully opened, the pressure source input can be directly turned off.
[0034] The innovation of this application also lies in the fact that it eliminates the need for an additional pressure source, thus simplifying the aircraft structure.
[0035] In this application, when the rotation of the movable door malfunctions, the movable door may not be able to close properly. In this case, the movable door can be forcibly closed by the action of the pusher 5.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
