DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] Clearly, the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 The utility model provides a novel engine exhaust brake butterfly valve, including fixed platform 1, the left side fixed mounting of fixed platform 1 has mounting plate 2, the bottom right side fixed mounting of fixed platform 1 has valve pipe 3, the left side fixed mounting of valve pipe 3 has airflow sensor 4;

[0026] The inside rotation of valve pipe 3 is installed with vent pipe 8, the bottom fixed mounting of vent pipe 8 has raft 6, the front and rear sides of raft 6 outer wall are all fixedly installed with air bag 7, and vent pipe 8 and air bag 7 are communicated, the top fixed mounting of vent pipe 8 has inlet pipe 9, and inlet pipe 9 is rotationally installed in the inside of fixed platform 1, and the top fixed mounting of inlet pipe 9 has electric actuator 13, and the top fixed mounting of electric actuator 13 has control rod 15, and the outer wall fixed mounting of inlet pipe 9 has extension plate 19, and the top fixed mounting of extension plate 19 has air pump 20, and air pump 20 and inlet pipe 9 are communicated, and the inner wall fixed mounting of extension plate 19 has motor 21, and the output shaft of motor 21 is fixedly connected with air pump 20, and the top fixed mounting of fixed platform 1 has fixed plate 16, and the top fixed mounting of fixed plate 16 has power controller 17, and the side wall of power controller 17 is provided with contact pair 18.

[0027] After the user completes the installation of the device, the air flow of the exhaust pipe will flow through the valve pipe 3 and the air flow sensor 4. When the valve needs to be closed, the staff starts the electric push rod 5, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5 is displaced to the right. Further, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected with the control rod 15, so that the electric push rod 5 drives the electric actuator 13 to rotate through the control rod 15. Further, when the electric actuator 13 rotates, the electric actuator 13 drives the air inlet pipe 9 and the air pipe 8 to rotate, so that the raft 6 is closed in the valve pipe 3. When the raft 6 rotates by 90 degrees, the valve pipe 3 is completely closed. Further, the air inlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected with the extension plate 19, so that the air inlet pipe 9 is aligned with the contact pair two 22 and the contact pair one 18 after rotating by 90 degrees, and the contact pair two 22 and the contact pair one 18 are in close contact with each other. At this time, under the closed state of the valve pipe 3, the air flow sensor 4 detects the air flow. When the air flow sensor 4 detects the air flow, it indicates that the sealing performance of the raft 6 is insufficient. Therefore, the air flow sensor 4 transmits the model to the power supply controller 17, so that the power supply controller 17 supplies power to the contact pair one 18. Further, since the contact pair one 18 and the contact pair two 22 are in close contact with each other, the motor 21 is powered and starts to operate. The air pump 20 sends the air outside to the inside of the air inlet pipe 9. At this time, the air pressure in the air inlet pipe 9 increases, so that the air flow pushes the plug 11 downward, so that the air flow smoothly passes through the air inlet pipe 9 and the air pipe 8 and enters the inside of the air bag 7. With the inflow of the air flow, the air bag 7 expands to seal the valve pipe 3. After the air flow sensor 4 detects that there is no air flow, the power supply controller 17 stops supplying power. Further, the air pump 20 stops operating, and the plug 11 is reset upward by the elastic potential of the spring 12 to block the sealing port 23 to prevent the gas in the air bag 7 from leaking.

[0028] The raft 6 is controlled to rotate by the operation of the electric push rod 5 to close the valve pipe 3. Through the detection of the air flow by the air flow sensor 4, when the raft 6 does not completely seal the valve pipe 3, the power supply controller 17 provides power to the air pump 20 through the two groups of contact pairs to make the gas enter the inside of the air inlet bag 7. Further, the air bag 7 seals the valve pipe 3. Compared with the traditional device, the device can control the operation time of the air pump 20, so that the air pump 20 stops operating when the air bag 7 completely seals the valve pipe 3. When the air pump 20 stops supplying air, the air inlet pipe 9 is blocked by the plug 11 to avoid the gas in the air bag 7 from escaping, thereby saving energy and improving the sealing performance.

[0029] The fixed rod 10 is fixedly installed in the inside of the air inlet pipe 9. The plug 11 is movably sleeved at the top of the fixed rod 10. The plug 11 and the fixed rod 10 are elastically connected through the spring 12. The plug 11 blocks the sealing port 23 at the top.

[0030] When the valve pipe 3 needs to be opened, because the air bag 7 and the inner wall of the valve pipe 3 abut against each other to seal, directly controlling the raft 6 to open by the electric push rod 5 can cause the air bag 7 to be abraded, therefore, the staff can control the execution rod 14 to move downward by the electric actuator 13, and press the spring 12 downward, further, because the air pressure inside the air bag 7 is large, part of the airflow will escape, at this time, the staff can open the raft 6 by the electric push rod 5 to complete the work.

[0031] By the setting of the two groups of contact pairs, when the valve pipe 3 is closed, the contact pair two 22 is automatically docked with the contact pair one 18, which provides convenience for the inflation operation of the air bag 7, and by the setting of the electric actuator 13, the staff can dissipate the gas inside the air bag 7 when the raft 6 needs to be opened, which avoids the abrasion caused by the extrusion and friction between the air bag 7 and the inner wall of the valve pipe 3, and effectively improves the sealing performance of the device and the service life of the air bag 7.

[0032] The bottom of the electric actuator 13 is provided with the execution rod 14, and the execution rod 14 is located inside the air inlet pipe 9.

[0033] The outer wall of the extension plate 19 is fixedly provided with the contact pair two 22, and the outer wall of the power supply controller 17 is provided with the contact pair one 18 corresponding to the contact pair two 22.

[0034] When the raft 6 rotates by ninety degrees, the valve pipe 3 is completely closed, and because the extension plate 19 and the air inlet pipe 9 are fixedly connected, the air inlet pipe 9 is aligned with the contact pair two 22 and the contact pair one 18 after rotating by ninety degrees, and the contact pair two 22 and the contact pair one 18 are in close contact with each other.

[0035] The contact pair one 18 is electrically connected with the power supply controller 17, the power supply controller 17 is electrically connected with the airflow sensor 4, and the contact pair two 22 is electrically connected with the motor 21.

[0036] The model of the electric actuator 13 is RC-10 actuator, and the airflow sensor 4 is MAF sensor.

[0037] It is worth noting that the airflow sensor 4 and the electric actuator 13 are both common prior art, the airflow sensor 4 and the MAF sensor are a kind of sensor for measuring the air flow in the air inlet system of the engine of the automobile, and the electric actuator 13 converts the rotary motion of the motor into the linear motion required by the execution rod 14 based on the principle of the motor.

[0038] The right side of the mounting plate 2 is rotatably provided with the electric push rod 5, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5 is rotatably connected with the control rod 15.

[0039] Because the electric push rod 5 and the control rod 15 are rotatably connected, the staff can control the rotation of the electric actuator 13 by the electric push rod 5.

[0040] The working principle and use process of the utility model:

[0041] After the user completes the installation of the device, the air flow of the exhaust pipe will flow through the valve pipe 3 and the air flow sensor 4, and when it is necessary to close the valve, the staff starts the electric push rod 5, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5 is displaced to the right, and further, the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5 and the control rod 15 are fixedly connected, so that the electric push rod 5 drives the electric actuator 13 to rotate through the control rod 15, and further, when the electric actuator 13 rotates, the electric actuator 13 drives the air inlet pipe 9 and the air pipe 8 to rotate, so that the raft 6 is closed in the valve pipe 3, and when the raft 6 rotates by ninety degrees, the valve pipe 3 is completely closed, and because the extension plate 19 and the air inlet pipe 9 are fixedly connected, the air inlet pipe 9 is aligned with the contact pair two 22 and the contact pair one 18 after rotating by ninety degrees, and is in close contact with each other, at this time, under the closed state of the valve pipe 3, the air flow sensor 4 detects the air flow, and when the air flow sensor 4 detects the air flow, it indicates that the sealing performance of the raft 6 is insufficient, so the air flow sensor 4 transmits the model to the power supply controller 17, so that the power supply controller 17 supplies power to the contact pair one 18, and further, because the contact pair one 18 and the contact pair two 22 are in close contact with each other, the motor 21 is powered and starts to operate, and the air pump 20 sends the air outside to the inside of the air inlet pipe 9, at this time, the air pressure in the air inlet pipe 9 increases, so that the air flow pushes the plug 11 downward, so that the air flow smoothly passes through the air inlet pipe 9 and the air pipe 8, and enters the inside of the air bag 7, with the air flow entering, the air bag 7 expands to seal the valve pipe 3, after the air flow sensor 4 detects that there is no air flow, the power supply controller 17 stops power supply, and further, the air pump 20 stops running, and the plug 11 is reset upward by the elastic potential of the spring 12 to seal the sealing port 23, preventing the gas in the air bag 7 from leaking.

[0042] When it is necessary to open the valve pipe 3, because the air bag 7 and the inner wall of the valve pipe 3 are in close contact with each other, directly controlling the raft 6 to open through the electric push rod 5 will cause the air bag 7 to be worn, therefore, the staff can control the execution rod 14 to move downward through the electric actuator 13 to press the spring 12 downward, and further, because the air pressure in the air bag 7 is large, part of the air flow will escape, at this time, the staff can complete the work by opening the raft 6 through the electric push rod 5.
