Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vent valve technology, and in particular to an oil-separated vent valve. Background Technology
[0002] A vent valve is a device used for waterproofing, ventilation, and pressure balancing. It combines a waterproof and breathable membrane with other materials such as plastic, metal, and silicone to form a sealed installation component. The working principle of the vent valve is based on the microporous structure of the waterproof and breathable membrane. The diameter of the micropores in the waterproof and breathable membrane is between 0.1-10μm, while the diameter of gas molecules is only about 0.0004μm. Therefore, gas can pass through smoothly, while liquid water, with its larger diameter, cannot pass through the micropores, thus achieving a waterproof effect. When the external water pressure is higher than the internal air pressure, the vent valve can prevent external moisture from entering and maintain a dry internal environment. When the internal air pressure is higher than the external water pressure, the vent valve can expel internal gas, maintaining internal and external air pressure balance and preventing excessive pressure difference from damaging the internal structure.
[0003] CN220470742U discloses a vent valve, including a valve cap and a valve body. The valve cap contains a protective component for protecting a waterproof and breathable membrane. This protective component includes a waterproof and breathable membrane, a one-way valve seat, a first valve membrane, and an upper valve body. The waterproof and breathable membrane is connected to the upper valve body by adhesive or welding. The one-way valve seat is connected to the upper valve body by interference fit or adhesive. The upper end face of the second valve membrane is connected to the lower end face of the upper valve body, and the lower end face of the second valve membrane is connected to the upper end face of the valve body. This invention effectively separates the internal medium from the waterproof and breathable membrane, effectively reducing damage and blockage caused by internal media such as oil and gas, and improving the membrane's service life. This is especially beneficial in environments containing corrosive media such as oil and gas, reducing the requirements for membrane quality and lowering costs. However, this vent valve lacks an oil droplet settling structure. Some oil particles that coalesce into larger droplets are not easily returned to the gearbox or related oil collection containers, causing oil mist recirculation and further contamination. Therefore, an oil-separating vent valve is needed. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an oil-water separating and venting valve, including a valve cap 1 and an oil droplet settling structure. The oil droplet settling structure includes a waterproof and breathable membrane 2, a venting valve body 3, a first filter cylinder A4, a second filter cylinder B5, a gas guide ring 6, a lower gas flow port 14, an upper gas flow port 15, an annular flow groove 16, and a gas flow groove 17. The waterproof and breathable membrane 2 is disposed at the bottom of the valve cap 1, and the venting valve body 3 is disposed at the bottom of the valve cap 1. The waterproof and breathable membrane 2 is located between the valve cap 1 and the venting valve body 3, and is in contact with the venting valve body 3. The first filter cylinder A4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the venting valve body 3, and the second filter cylinder B5 is fixedly connected to the... Inside the vent valve body 3, the second filter cartridge B5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first filter cartridge A4. The gas guide ring 6 is located inside the vent valve body 3. The lower gas flow port 14 is opened on the outer surface of the gas guide ring 6, the upper gas flow port 15 is opened on the outer surface of the gas guide ring 6, and the annular flow groove 16 is opened on the outer surface of the gas guide ring 6. The lower gas flow port 14 is connected to the annular flow groove 16, and the upper gas flow port 15 is connected to the annular flow groove 16. The lower gas flow port 14 is located at the bottom of the upper gas flow port 15. The gas flow groove 17 is opened at the top of the gas guide ring 6 and is connected to the upper gas flow port 15.
[0027] Furthermore, a first spring A8 is fixedly connected inside the vent valve body 3, a first valve seat A9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first spring A8, a valve diaphragm A10 is provided at the bottom of the first valve seat A9, a valve diaphragm B11 is provided at the bottom of the valve diaphragm A10, a second spring B12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first valve seat A9, a second valve seat B13 is provided at the bottom of the second spring B12, the second valve seat B13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vent valve body 3, the first valve seat A9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vent valve body 3, and a sealing gasket 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the vent valve body 3.
[0028] Furthermore, the vent valve body 3 has a first receiving groove 18 inside, and a second valve seat B13 is adapted to the first receiving groove 18. The second valve seat B13 is located inside the first receiving groove 18. The vent valve body 3 has a second receiving groove 19 inside, and valve diaphragm A10, valve diaphragm B11, and second valve seat B13 are all located inside the second receiving groove 19. The vent valve body 3 has a third receiving groove 20 inside, and a first valve seat A9 is adapted to the third receiving groove 20. The first valve seat A9 is located inside the third receiving groove 20. The vent valve body 3 has a filter cartridge mounting groove A21 and a filter cartridge mounting groove B22 inside. The filter cartridge mounting groove A21 is adapted to the second filter cartridge B5, and the filter cartridge mounting groove B22 is adapted to the first filter cartridge A4.
[0029] Furthermore, when the oil mist gas inside the vent valve body 3 needs to be discharged to the outside, the oil mist gas first enters from the lower gas flow port 14 and passes through the annular flow groove 16, and then exits into the gas flow groove 17 through the upper gas flow port 15. It is then discharged through the opening on the gas flow groove 17 that connects to the outside, thereby slowing down the gas flow speed and producing a condensation effect. This allows some of the oil mist liquid to flow back. The first filter cylinder A4 and the second filter cylinder B5 are fixedly installed inside the vent valve body 3 by positioning columns and form an inclination with the side wall. Through gravity, the oil particles that have agglomerated into larger oil droplets can return to the gearbox or related oil collection container. When the internal pressure of the vent valve body 3 is less than the atmospheric pressure, the gas enters the vent valve body 3 through the waterproof and breathable membrane 2, and at the same time opens the first valve seat A9. Since the internal gas pressure is less than the external atmospheric pressure, the second valve seat B13 closes. When the internal pressure of the vent valve body 3 is greater than the atmospheric pressure, the gas opens the second valve seat B13. Since the internal gas pressure is less than the external atmospheric pressure, the first valve seat A9 closes.
[0030] Furthermore, the annular flow channel 16 and the gas flow channel 17 block the oil mist gas, making the flow path of the oil mist gas longer and slowing down the airflow speed. When the oil mist airflow encounters resistance, some oil mist particles will be trapped. After the airflow passes through the labyrinthine annular flow channel 16, it begins to enter the cyclone spiral gas flow channel 17. The gas flow path is extended by the action of the airflow. Since this sealing surface is connected to the outside, a temperature difference is generated, which in turn produces a condensation effect, allowing some oil mist liquid to flow back. Through the first filter cylinder A4 and the second filter cylinder B5, the oil particles that have agglomerated into larger oil droplets can return to the gearbox or related oil collection container by gravity. The physical design guides the oil droplets to settle, thereby reducing the recirculation of oil mist and further pollution. This solves the problem that the vent valve does not have an oil droplet settling structure, and some oil particles that have agglomerated into larger oil droplets are not easy to return to the gearbox or related oil collection container, causing the recirculation of oil mist and leading to further pollution.
