AI Technical Summary
Existing electric drain valves suffer from insufficient sealing, complex structure, and poor assembly. In particular, the sealing performance is limited by the motor force and spring force, making it impossible to achieve good results with limited cost. Furthermore, the diaphragm is in direct contact with the valve body and is easily affected by foreign objects, thus compromising the sealing performance.
It adopts a threaded drive structure, which drives the upper shaft to rotate forward and backward through the drive component, thereby moving the valve core assembly up and down. Combined with the inclined surface sealing and point sealing structure, the sealing performance is enhanced. Furthermore, the O-ring seal and multi-layer conical sealing surface design ensure both sealing performance and reliability.
It achieves a reliable sealing effect under driving force, reduces friction, improves sealing performance and assembly, avoids the influence of foreign objects, and enhances the on/off control of the valve port.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] It should be noted that all uses of "first" and "second" in the embodiments of this utility model are for the purpose of distinguishing two entities or parameters with the same name but different names. It is clear that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of expression and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this utility model. Subsequent embodiments will not explain this in detail.
[0032] The directional and positional terms used in this utility model, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, inside, outside, top, bottom, side, etc., are only for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional and positional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0033] A new type of electric drain valve, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a motor 1, a control switch 2, an upper shaft 3, an upper cover 4, an O-ring seal 5, a lower shaft 6, a sealing plug 7, and a valve body 8.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper cover 4 and the valve body 8 constitute a housing assembly, which are connected by bolts to form a valve cavity. The O-ring seal 5 is placed between the upper cover 4 and the valve body 8 to form a reliable seal at the connection point. The valve body 8 has an inlet and an outlet, and a valve port 801 connecting the inlet and the outlet is formed inside the valve body 8. The lower shaft 6 and the sealing plug 7 are fixedly connected to form a valve core assembly, which is slidably disposed in the valve cavity between the upper cover 4 and the valve body 8 in the axial direction. The sealing plug 7 cooperates with the valve port 801 to control the opening / closing of the valve port 801. The motor 1 and the upper shaft 3 are fixedly connected to form a drive assembly. The motor 1 is connected to the outer end of the upper cover 4 by bolts. The upper shaft 3 passes through the upper cover 4 and is axially limited between the upper cover 4 and the motor 1, so that it can only rotate relative to the upper cover 4. One end of the upper shaft 3 is threadedly engaged with the lower shaft 6 and the other end is connected to the motor 1. The motor 1 can drive the upper shaft 3 to rotate forward and backward, thereby driving the lower shaft 6 to move up and down inside the valve body 8. The lower shaft 6 is limited by a locking fit with the housing assembly, allowing it to slide axially but not rotate relative to the housing assembly. Specifically, for example... Figure 10 As shown, the lower shaft 6 and the upper cover 4 are in a limiting fit.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper shaft 3 has a stud 301, a limiting turntable 302, and a cam 303. The upper end of the lower shaft 6 has a threaded blind hole 601 for the stud 301 to extend into, forming a threaded transmission engagement. The limiting turntable 302 is connected to one end of the stud 301 and has an outer diameter larger than that of the stud 301. The cam 303 is located at the outer end of the limiting turntable 302.Figure 4 As shown, the upper cover 4 is provided with a through hole 401 for the stud 301 to pass through, and a limiting groove 402 adapted to the limiting turntable 302 outside the through hole 401. The bottom of the limiting groove 402 is provided with a fourth convex ring 403 with a convex curved upper surface, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, the lower end face of the limiting turntable 302 forms a point fit with the fourth convex ring 403, reducing the contact surface and thus reducing rotational friction.
[0036] The control switch 2 is fixed to the outer end of the upper cover 4 and cooperates with the cam 303. The control switch 2 can be a micro switch or a photoelectric switch.
[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the valve body 8 includes a first valve body portion 802 adapted to the shape of the lower shaft 6 and a second valve body portion 803 adapted to the shape of the outer cavity of the upper cover 4. The lower end of the first valve body portion 802 forms a valve port 801. The first valve body portion 802 and the second valve body portion 803 are connected by a step 804. The inner cavity of the upper cover 4 is adapted to the shape of the lower shaft 6. An O-ring seal 5 is disposed between the step 804 and the lower end of the upper cover 4, and its inner circumference is sealed with the outer circumference of the lower shaft 6 to prevent the medium from entering the area where the upper shaft 3 and the lower shaft 6 meet and from leaking outward through the area connected between the upper shaft 3 and the upper cover 4.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the valve port 801 includes a first conical sealing surface 805 and a first convex ring 806 integrally formed on the first conical sealing surface 805, as... Figure 8 As shown, the sealing plug 7 has a second conical sealing surface 701 and a cylindrical surface 702 on its outer periphery. A second convex ring 703 and a third convex ring 704 are integrally formed on the cylindrical surface 702. The second convex ring 703 and the third convex ring 704 are spaced apart by a certain distance. Figure 9 As shown, the first conical sealing surface 805 and the second conical sealing surface 701 form a bevel seal, and the first convex ring 806 and the second conical sealing surface 701 form a point seal that strengthens the bevel seal, so that the valve port 801 and the sealing plug 7 have both surface seal and point seal, enhancing the sealing performance. Furthermore, the cylindrical surface 702 fits with the inner circumference of the first valve body portion 802. The radial thickness of the second convex ring 703 is less than the radial thickness of the third convex ring 704 and is positioned closer to the second conical sealing surface 701 than the third convex ring 704. The third convex ring 704 forms a point seal with the inner circumferential wall of the first valve body portion 802, which serves as a safety measure in case the bevel seal fails. The second convex ring 703, when in contact with the inner circumferential wall of the first valve body portion 802, cleans the inner circumferential wall of the first valve body portion 802, ensuring that foreign matter does not affect the sealing performance of the point seal formed by the third convex ring 704.
[0039] The above disclosed is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, of course, cannot be limited by this to limit the scope of the present application, therefore, the equivalent changes made according to the present application claims, still belong to the scope covered by the present application.
