Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve component technology, and more specifically to a flow control component. Background Technology
[0002] In the semiconductor industry, flow control components such as diaphragm valves, pressure reducing valves, and flow meters require ultra-cleanliness. During operation, the internal flow channels and gas-contacting parts must be free of impurities. Existing high-flow-rate manual diaphragm valves contain bellows components welded together from multiple diaphragms. The bellows act as a seal, preventing the medium from contacting other parts inside the valve body. During operation, the entire welded bellows component is in contact with the medium within the flow channel. Over long-term operation, numerous weld seams are subject to corrosion and impact from the medium, causing tiny particles to detach from the bellows, thus affecting the cleanliness of the medium. Furthermore, existing springless manual diaphragm valves, lacking an internal spring mechanism, have a limited actuation stroke, which in turn limits the flow rate.
[0003] Therefore, how to provide a flow control component that can avoid the generation of impurity particles and improve the cleanliness of the flow channel is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a flow control component that can avoid the generation of impurity particles and improve the cleanliness of the flow channel.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A flow control component, comprising:
[0007] The valve body has a medium flow channel inside, and the two ends of the medium flow channel are a medium inlet and a medium outlet, respectively.
[0008] A manual lifting drive assembly is disposed on the top of the valve body;
[0009] A valve core assembly is disposed between the valve body and the manual lifting drive assembly, and the valve core assembly is fixedly connected to the lifting valve stem on the manual lifting drive assembly, for driving the valve core assembly to move up and down to block or open the medium flow channel;
[0010] A corrugated diaphragm ring is fixed to the valve core assembly, and the edge of the corrugated diaphragm ring is fixed to the inner wall of the valve body to isolate the medium in the medium flow channel from contact with the manual lifting drive assembly.
[0011] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses a flow control component. In use, rotating the manual lifting drive assembly in the forward direction causes the lifting valve rod on the manual lifting drive assembly to move the valve core assembly upward, thereby connecting the medium flow channel. Rotating the manual lifting drive assembly in the reverse direction causes the lifting valve rod on the manual lifting drive assembly to move the valve core assembly downward, thereby blocking the medium flow channel. Therefore, the flow control component of this utility model uses manual operation to control opening and closing, requiring no external air source, and has a compact and simple structure. Furthermore, using a corrugated diaphragm ring with greater deformation instead of a bellows not only allows it to move upward with a greater stroke following the valve core assembly, thus meeting the requirements for high flow rates, but also effectively avoids the problem of existing valve bodies using bellows made by ordinary welding, where the bellows are corroded by the medium, resulting in the generation of tiny impurity particles that contaminate the cleanliness of the medium flow channel.
[0012] Furthermore, the valve body has a mounting port at its top end that communicates with the medium flow channel, and the inner wall of the mounting port has a press-fit inner flange. The manual lifting drive assembly includes:
[0013] A diaphragm sealing press seat presses the edge of the corrugated diaphragm ring onto the inner flange of the press seat;
[0014] A valve cover sleeve is pressed against the top of the diaphragm seal press seat, and the bottom outer wall of the valve cover sleeve has a press-fit outer flange;
[0015] A valve cover crimping nut is screwed and fixed to the top outer wall of the valve body, and the valve cover crimping nut is crimped to the crimping outer flange;
[0016] A rotating valve stem is rotatably disposed in the sleeve hole of the valve cover sleeve. The rotating valve stem is provided with a retaining ring to prevent it from falling off. The inner wall of the sleeve hole has a first stop flange, and the outer wall of the rotating valve stem has a second stop flange. The second stop flange abuts against the first stop flange. The first threaded hole at the bottom end of the rotating valve stem is threadedly connected to the top of the lifting valve stem.
[0017] A manually rotating cap is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating valve stem by a fixing screw.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: When the manual rotating cap is rotated in the forward direction, it drives the rotating valve stem to rotate. Because the rotating valve stem and the lifting valve stem are connected by a threaded transmission, and the valve core assembly of the lifting valve stem is fixed, and the valve core assembly is fixed to the corrugated diaphragm ring, which is pressed against the diaphragm sealing pressure seat and the valve body, the lifting valve stem cannot rotate. When the rotating valve stem rotates in the forward direction, it can drive the lifting valve stem upward, which in turn drives the valve core assembly upward, thereby opening the medium flow channel. When the manual rotating cap is rotated in the reverse direction, it can drive the lifting valve stem downward, which in turn drives the valve core assembly downward, thereby blocking the medium flow channel. Therefore, this utility model uses a lifting valve stem structure to achieve the opening and blocking of the medium flow channel, allowing the valve core assembly to have a large stroke, thus meeting the requirements of large flow rates.
[0019] Furthermore, the valve cover crimping nut allows the valve cover sleeve to apply uniform downward pressure to the diaphragm seal crimping seat. Through the transmission of force, the valve cover sleeve presses the diaphragm seal crimping seat tightly, which in turn presses the corrugated diaphragm ring, ultimately achieving an effective seal between the corrugated diaphragm ring, the diaphragm seal crimping seat, and the valve body, preventing media leakage.
[0020] Furthermore, an O-ring is fitted on the outer wall of the rotating valve stem to make frictional contact with the inner wall of the sleeve hole.
[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: by adding an O-ring to the rotating valve stem, hard friction between metal and metal can be avoided, and soft friction between the metal and the O-ring can be formed. Furthermore, by adjusting the compression ratio of the O-ring, the damping and feel of the manually rotating cap during rotation can be improved, thus enhancing the rotation feel during manual operation and improving the user experience.
[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting sleeve, which is fixedly connected to the valve cover sleeve by a tightening screw. The inner wall of the limiting sleeve has a first limiting boss, and the inner side wall of the manual rotating cap has a second limiting boss. When the manual rotating cap is rotated in both directions, the two side walls of the second limiting boss abut against the two side walls of the first limiting boss, respectively.
[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: it can limit the rotation angle of the manual rotating cap, and avoid excessive rotation of the manual rotating cap due to operational errors, thereby causing damage to the parts.
[0024] Furthermore, the medium flow channel has a sealing surface, and the valve core assembly includes:
[0025] A valve seat support is provided, wherein the second threaded hole on the top of the valve seat support is screwed and fixed to the bottom of the lifting valve stem, the corrugated diaphragm ring is sleeved on the lifting valve stem, and the bottom end of the corrugated diaphragm ring is integrally welded to the top of the valve seat support by tungsten inert gas welding. The bottom outer edge of the valve seat support has an annular mounting groove.
[0026] A valve seat ring is interference-fitted into the mounting groove. The valve seat ring contacts or disconnects from the sealing surface to block or open the medium inlet and the medium outlet.
[0027] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the corrugated diaphragm ring and the valve seat support are welded together as a whole by tungsten inert gas arc welding, which ensures the sealing performance while also ensuring the strength and life of the connection structure.
[0028] Furthermore, the manual lifting drive assembly also includes: a diaphragm retaining ring sleeved on the lifting valve stem, the lifting valve stem having a snap-fit limiting flange on its stem wall, the top surface of the diaphragm retaining ring snapping onto the snap-fit limiting flange, and the corrugated diaphragm ring pressing between the bottom end of the diaphragm retaining ring and the top end of the valve seat support.
[0029] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: when the lifting valve stem moves upward, the top of the diaphragm fixing ring can abut against the diaphragm sealing pressure seat, which can limit the upward movement of the lifting valve stem, avoid the problem of prolonged operation time caused by continuous rotation of the manual rotating cap, and avoid the problem of excessive deformation of the corrugated diaphragm ring and damage.
[0030] Furthermore, the corrugated diaphragm ring has a multi-layered structure.
[0031] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: it can increase the operating pressure of the corrugated diaphragm ring and extend its service life, avoiding premature breakage and damage. Attached Figure Description

[0045] Valve cover sleeve 22 is pressed onto the top of diaphragm seal press seat 21, and the bottom outer wall of valve cover sleeve 22 has a press-fit outer flange 221;
[0046] The valve cover crimp nut 23 is screwed and fixed to the top outer wall of the valve body 1, and the valve cover crimp nut 23 is crimped to the crimping outer flange 221.
[0047] Rotate valve stem 24, which is rotatably disposed in the sleeve hole 222 of valve cover sleeve 22. Rotate valve stem 24 is provided with a retaining ring 25 to prevent it from falling off. The inner wall of sleeve hole 222 has a first stop flange 2221, and the outer wall of rotating valve stem 24 has a second stop flange 241. The second stop flange 241 abuts against the first stop flange 2221. The first threaded hole 242 at the bottom end of rotating valve stem 24 is threadedly connected to the top of lifting valve stem 26.
[0048] The manual rotating cap 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating valve stem 24 by a fixing screw 28.
[0049] An O-ring 29 is fitted on the outer wall of the rotating valve stem 24 to make frictional contact with the inner wall of the sleeve hole 222.
[0050] The flow control component also includes a limiting sleeve 30, which is fixedly connected to the valve cover sleeve 22 by a tightening screw 31. The inner wall of the sleeve opening of the limiting sleeve 30 has a first limiting boss 301, and the inner side wall of the manually rotating cap 27 has a second limiting boss 271. When the cap 27 is manually rotated in both directions, the two side walls of the second limiting boss 271 abut against the two side walls of the first limiting boss 301, respectively.
[0051] The medium flow channel 101 has a sealing surface 1013, and the valve core assembly 3 includes:
[0052] The valve seat support 32 has a second threaded hole 321 on its top end that is screwed to the bottom of the lifting valve stem 26. The corrugated diaphragm ring 4 is fitted on the lifting valve stem 26, and the bottom end of the corrugated diaphragm ring 4 is integrally welded to the top end of the valve seat support 32 by tungsten inert gas welding.

The medium flow channel of this invention is processed by two-stage drilling, which can maximize the diameter of the flow channel. Furthermore, the corners of the inner wall of the flow channel are rounded, which can increase the flow rate within the flow channel under the same operating conditions and effectively reduce the flow resistance of the fluid, thereby further increasing the flow rate and meeting the high flow rate requirements of the flow control components.
