Technical Problem

The rubber diaphragm of existing vacuum diaphragm valves is prone to wear and tear during frequent opening and closing, which shortens its service life.

Method used

A novel rubber diaphragm was designed, comprising a main sidewall and a secondary sidewall. The main sidewall is perpendicular to the bottom surface, and the secondary sidewall is parallel to the main sidewall. During displacement, the secondary sidewall adheres tightly to the inner wall of the upper shell to provide support. After the main sidewall flips over, it also adheres tightly to the inner wall of the upper shell. Combined with the design of a tray and a spring, a double seal is achieved and the displacement stroke is extended, reducing wear.

Benefits of technology

The support design of the main and secondary sidewalls reduces the wear of the rubber diaphragm and extends its service life. The combination of double sealing and limiting grooves improves the sealing effect and reduces the overall volume of the vacuum valve.

The upper edge of the main sidewall is bent and extended downward to the middle of the main sidewall to form a secondary sidewall 13. The bottom edge of the secondary sidewall extends circumferentially to form a connecting ring edge 14. The main sidewall is perpendicular to the bottom surface, and the secondary sidewall is parallel to the main sidewall. A first boss 15 is formed by a recess in the bottom surface, and a circular hole 16 is provided in the middle of the boss. A fitting groove 17 for installation is provided on the inner side of the connecting ring edge (between the connecting ring edge and the secondary sidewall). The two side walls of the fitting groove are perpendicular to the bottom wall of the groove and are parallel to each other.

The upper shell and the lower shell are detachably connected (can be quick release, screw connection). The valve plate seat is arranged in the middle of the valve body, the valve port is arranged in the lower part of the valve body, the tail end (valve head) of the valve plate passes through the valve plate seat and is located between the valve plate seat and the valve port, the rubber diaphragm is clamped between the upper shell and the lower shell, so that the upper shell and the lower shell are sealed by the rubber diaphragm and do not communicate with each other, the rubber diaphragm is fixedly connected with the front end of the valve plate, and the spring is arranged between the rubber diaphragm and the upper shell. When the rubber diaphragm deforms and recovers, it can drive the tail end (valve head) of the valve plate to move back and forth between the valve plate seat and the valve port; when the rubber diaphragm deforms upward, it can press the spring and recover under the action of the spring.

[0032] Specifically, when the rubber diaphragm is clamped between the upper shell and the lower shell, the port of the upper shell is provided with a flange 21 matched with the fitting groove 17 of the rubber diaphragm, and a groove 22 matched with the connecting ring edge of the rubber diaphragm. Through the cooperation of the fitting groove and the flange, and the cooperation of the connecting ring edge and the groove, the rubber diaphragm and the upper shell and the lower shell achieve the effect of sealing, double sealing, and better effect.

[0033] As shown in the drawings, Figure 4 The rubber diaphragm is fixedly installed on the front end of the valve plate through a tray 8. Specifically, the tray includes a first tray sheet 81 and a second tray sheet 82. The first tray sheet is arranged above the second tray sheet, and the first tray sheet and the second tray sheet clamp the rubber diaphragm in the middle. The middle parts of the first tray sheet and the second tray sheet are respectively provided with a second boss 811 and a third boss 822 matched with the bosses of the rubber diaphragm. The combination structure of the first boss 15, the second boss 811 and the third boss 822 is matched with the structure of the valve plate seat. In the limited space, the displacement stroke of the rubber diaphragm, i.e. the displacement stroke of the valve plate, is lengthened. Therefore, compared with other vacuum valves that need the same displacement stroke, the volume of the upper shell can be reduced, and the purpose of reducing the overall volume of the vacuum valve is achieved.

[0034] The tray and the valve plate seat are both provided with through holes matched with the upper circular hole 16 of the rubber diaphragm, which is used for the main shaft of the valve plate to pass through during installation.

[0035] In the embodiment, the edge of the first tray sheet extends upward to form an extension wall, which is close to the main side wall of the rubber diaphragm; when the rubber diaphragm is installed, the bottom surface thereof is clamped between the first tray sheet and the second tray sheet, the main side wall thereof is close to the outside of the extension wall, and the auxiliary side wall thereof is close to the inner wall of the upper shell; when the rubber diaphragm is displaced upward, each point on the main side wall is close to the inner wall of the upper shell after turning upward during the rising process; for example, four points A, B, C and D are taken on the main side wall and the auxiliary side wall; when the rubber diaphragm is not deformed and displaced, the point A is on the auxiliary side wall and close to the inner wall of the upper shell, the point B is on the main side wall and has the same height as the point A, the point C is on the main side wall and below the point B, and the point D is on the main side wall and below the point C; after the rubber diaphragm is deformed and displaced upward, the four points A, B, C and D are all close to the inner wall of the upper shell, and the point A is at the lowermost position, the point B is above the point A, the point C is above the point B, and the point D is above the point C; since the auxiliary side wall is always close to the inner wall of the upper shell during the displacement process of the rubber diaphragm, the support force of the inner wall of the upper shell can be obtained all the time, and the main side wall can also be close to the upper shell after turning upward, that is, the main side wall can also obtain the support force provided by the inner wall of the upper shell during the displacement process of the rubber diaphragm, so that the wear degree of the rubber diaphragm is reduced, and the service life of the rubber diaphragm is prolonged.

[0036] The upper shell is also provided with a first gas interface 23 and a second gas interface 24; when the first gas interface 23 is connected to vacuum and the second gas interface is connected to atmospheric pressure, the rubber diaphragm is deformed, the valve plate is displaced toward the upper shell and presses the spring, and the opening of the vacuum valve is realized at this time; in the embodiment, the first spring is selected to have sufficient free length and sufficient compression amount, so that when the second gas interface and the first gas interface are connected to atmospheric pressure, the gas pressure in the upper shell and the lower shell is the same, at this time, the compression spring in the upper shell has no vacuum suction force, only the compression force of the spring acts on the rubber diaphragm, the huge spring compression force of the first spring will promote the rubber diaphragm to gradually recover the deformation under the action of the force of the first spring, and the spring force of the rubber diaphragm and the action force of the spring jointly drive the valve plate to move toward the valve port, so that the closing of the vacuum valve is realized, and the spring is in a semi-compressed state at the time of closing.

[0037] In the embodiment, in order to make the spring be in a fixed position, the middle part of the first tray sheet is provided with a limiting portion 813 for limiting the position of the spring; the limiting portion is circular and has a height which is basically flat with the second boss; in the embodiment, the height of the limiting portion is slightly lower than the height of the second boss, and an annular limiting groove 812 is formed between the limiting portion and the second boss, and the lower end of the spring is arranged in the annular limiting groove, so that the spring cannot be displaced and affect the opening of the vacuum valve due to the limitation of the limiting groove. More preferably, the limiting portion 813 has a guide slope 8131 for guiding the spring into the limiting groove 812, and the guide slope is arranged on the side of the upper end of the limiting portion which faces the second boss.
