Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to a double cone structure valve for controlling the opening, closing and flow of water and air. Background Technology
[0002] Existing valves, especially those used in daily water taps, generally include a valve seat, a valve cover, and a valve stem. The valve cover is mounted on the valve seat, and the lower part of the valve stem extends into the valve seat and mates with the seat's opening to seal the water flow. The lower end of the valve stem used for sealing the water flow uses a flat surface for sealing, and the inlet is also the outlet, resulting in poor sealing and easy leakage. To solve the sealing problem, valves with better sealing performance have been developed. Their structure includes a valve seat, a valve cover, and a valve stem. The valve seat has a through hole inside, and the side wall of the valve seat has a water outlet channel connecting to the through hole. The upper end of the valve seat is connected to the valve cover, and the lower end of the valve stem is a valve plug corresponding to the through hole of the valve seat. This valve plug is installed in the through hole of the valve seat, and the valve stem... The valve stem is connected to the valve cover via threads in the middle. The upper end of the valve stem extends outside the upper end of the valve cover. The upper part of the valve cover is connected to a pressure cap via threads. The lower part of the pressure cap extends into the valve cover and fits over the valve stem. A sealing ring is installed at the valve stem hole opening at the lower end of the valve cover to allow the valve plug of the valve stem to rise and press for sealing. The initial sealing performance of this patent was very good, but after use, it was found that because the circumferential surface of the valve plug is smooth, when the valve is opened, the water flows upward from the inlet and along the valve plug to the bottom of the sealing ring. Impurities in the water also rise upward. After the water stops, the impurities remain in the crevices. With long-term use, the impurities accumulate, and when the valve stem descends to close the water flow, it does not close completely, resulting in water leakage. Utility Model Content
[0003] The problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a double cone structure valve that can solve the problem of dripping faucets.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This double-cone structure valve includes a valve seat, a valve cover, and a valve stem. The valve seat has a through hole, and the lower end of the valve stem is a valve plug. The valve plug is installed in the through hole of the valve seat. The side wall of the valve seat has a water outlet channel communicating with the through hole. The top end of the valve stem protrudes from the top of the valve cover. The through hole in the valve seat is a conical hole that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The valve plug is a conical body that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. On the outer wall of the valve plug, at a position opposite to the water outlet channel of the valve seat when the valve plug is opened to its maximum, a groove is formed to accommodate and slow down the upward rush of high-pressure water. The groove opens outward.
[0005] In the above-mentioned technical solution of the double cone structure valve, a more specific technical solution may be: the upper section of the valve stem has an embedded metal part, the metal part has an engineering nylon layer injected on its outside, the top of the metal part is connected to a connecting seat, the connecting seat has a connecting screw hole inside, and a plug section for connecting to the handle outside.
[0006] In some possible implementations, the bottom of the groove is arc-shaped.
[0007] In some possible implementations, the valve cover has an inner bore consisting of an upper through hole and a lower through hole, with the inner diameter of the upper through hole being larger than that of the lower through hole; the upper end of the valve seat is connected to the lower external thread of the valve cover via an internal thread, and the middle part of the valve stem is connected to the internal thread of the valve cover via an external thread; the top of the valve cover is covered with a pressure cap, which has a "T" shaped cross-section, with its central cylindrical body extending downward into the upper through hole of the valve cover and fitting around the valve stem; a sealing strip is provided between the valve stem and the wall of the cylindrical body; and a sealing ring is installed between the bottom of the upper through hole of the valve cover and the bottom of the cylindrical body of the pressure cap, with the sealing ring fitting around the valve stem.
[0008] In some possible implementations, the cylindrical body of the gland is connected to the valve cover via its external threads.
[0009] In some possible implementations, a sealing ring is installed at the lower end opening of the through hole in the lower part of the valve cover for the valve plug portion of the valve stem to rise and press for sealing; a sealing ring groove is provided on the lower end face of the valve seat.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0011] 1. Because a groove is formed on the outer wall of the valve plug at the position opposite the outlet channel of the valve seat when the valve plug is opened to its maximum, this groove is designed to accommodate and slow down the upward flow of high-pressure water. The groove opens outward. When the valve plug is raised and the high-pressure water flows upward from the inlet, most of the water flows directly through the outlet channel on the side of the valve seat. A small portion of the water flows into the groove and then flows out through the outlet channel on the side. The groove accommodates a portion of the backflow, preventing this portion of the water from flowing directly along the gap to the bottom of the valve cover. This reduces the chance of impurities in the water flow remaining and accumulating on the top of the valve plug and in the gap between the valve plug and the valve seat. This ensures that the valve has good sealing performance when closed, prevents water leakage, and extends the service life of the valve.
[0012] 2. A metal part is embedded in the upper section of the valve stem. This metal part is coated with an engineering nylon layer, which can increase the torque of the valve stem and improve its mechanical strength and wear resistance. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Figure 1 , Figure 2The double-cone valve shown includes a valve seat 1, a valve cover 2, and a valve stem 3. The valve seat 1 has a through hole 1-1. The lower end of the valve stem 3 is a valve plug 3-1, which is installed within the through hole 1-1 of the valve seat 1. The side wall of the valve seat 1 has two symmetrically arranged outlet channels 1-2 connecting the through holes. The top of the valve stem 3 protrudes from the top of the valve cover 2. The through hole in the valve seat 1 is a conical hole, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The valve plug 3-1 is a conical body, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. On the outer wall of the valve plug 3-1, at a position opposite to the outlet channel 1-2 of the valve seat 1 when the valve plug is raised to its maximum position, a groove 3-2 is formed to accommodate and mitigate the upward flow of high-pressure water. This groove opens outwards, and the bottom of the groove is arc-shaped. The valve plug and valve seat are designed with a conical hole and a conical body. A groove is located at a certain position on the outside of the valve plug. When the valve plug is raised, the high-pressure water flows upward from the inlet. Most of the water flows directly from the outlet channel 1-2 on the side of the valve seat into the outlet 9 of the faucet. A small portion of the water flows into the groove and then flows out from the outlet channel on the side into the outlet 9 of the faucet. The groove accommodates a portion of the backflowing water, preventing this portion of the water from flowing directly along the gap to the bottom of the valve cover. This reduces the chance of impurities in the water flow staying and accumulating on the top of the valve plug and in the gap between the valve plug and the valve seat, ensuring that the valve has good sealing performance when closed and preventing water leakage.
[0020] In some embodiments, the upper section of the valve stem 3 has an embedded metal part 3-3, which can increase the torque of the valve stem and improve mechanical strength and wear resistance. The metal part is injection molded with an engineering nylon layer. The top of the metal part is connected to a connecting seat 3-4, which has a connecting screw hole 3-5 inside and a plug section for connecting to the handle outside.
[0021] In some embodiments, the valve cover 2 has an inner hole consisting of an upper through hole and a lower through hole, with the inner diameter of the upper through hole being larger than that of the lower through hole; the upper end of the valve seat 1 is connected to the lower external thread of the valve cover 2 via an internal thread, and the middle part of the valve stem 3 is connected to the internal thread of the valve cover 2 via an external thread; the top of the valve cover 2 is covered with a pressure cap 4, which has a "T" shaped cross section, with its central cylindrical body 4-1 extending downward into the upper through hole of the valve cover and fitting around the valve stem 3; a sealing strip 5 is provided between the valve stem 3 and the wall of the cylindrical body 4-1; and a sealing ring 6 is installed between the bottom of the upper through hole of the valve cover 3 and the bottom of the cylindrical body 4-1 of the pressure cap, which fits around the valve stem 3.
[0022] In some embodiments, the cylindrical body 4-1 of the gland 4 is connected to the valve cover 3 by its external thread; a sealing ring 7 is installed at the lower end opening of the lower through hole of the valve cover for the valve plug of the valve stem 3 to rise and press for sealing; a sealing ring groove 8 is provided on the lower end face of the valve seat 1.
[0023] This utility model can be modified and varied in various ways. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model shall be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
