TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to air valve technical field, especially relate to an adjustable waterproof hammer buffer air valve. BACKGROUND
[0002] Air valve is widely used in water supply pressure pipeline, ideal air valve performance includes the following three points: first point: when the pipeline system appears negative pressure, can timely air intake, supplement pipeline pressure, avoid pipeline negative pressure suction accident;
[0003] Second point: when the pipeline empty pipe fills water and normally operates, can exclude the gas in the pipeline, avoid airbag accumulation, reduce the water cross section or increase the local resistance of the pipeline. Requirement under any pressure during normal operation can open the buffer exhaust port and carry out buffer exhaust, can realize the continuous exhaust of gas and water;
[0004] Third point: when the pipeline system occurs pump stoppage or valve closing and other hydraulic transient process, air valve negative pressure air intake requires buffer exhaust, so that the airbag plays a buffering role in the water column closure process, avoids excessive water column closure pressure caused by too fast gas exhaust.
[0005] The existing technology has the following problems: the existing composite air valve can meet the first point air intake requirement, but cannot meet the second and third points simultaneously. The reason for not meeting the second point: in a high pressure environment, the existing air valve can only exhaust through a micro hole, if the exhaust port is enlarged, the pressure will lift the valve core or the floating ball, resulting in the closure of the exhaust port and the inability to normally exhaust. Usually, the size of the micro hole is only 2mm-5mm. During normal operation, due to the high pressure in the pipeline, i.e. the so-called "high pressure gas", the exhaust capacity of the micro hole is too small to timely remove the accumulated gas in the pipeline, thereby increasing the local resistance, or the gas movement with the water flow will produce pressure oscillation. The reason for not meeting the third point: the existing waterproof hammer buffer exhaust valve has a minimum switching pressure of 0.2m, however, due to the use of a large port in the initial exhaust stage, the exhaust speed is very fast, and the airbag pressure in the pipeline is difficult to rise, and in some working conditions, even 0.2m cannot be reached, which is equivalent to the entire exhaust process using a large port, and the small port is not switched, thus causing the water column closure pressure to be too large.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air valve with stable performance, which can timely exhaust even in a high pressure environment, and the buffer exhaust switching pressure can be arbitrarily adjusted according to engineering needs, or even only allow buffer exhaust.

[0035] Intake state: when the pipeline pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure, the linkage components (including the air inlet hole plate 8, the adjustable exhaust hole plate 9, the spring 11), the ball 3 and the piston 7 move downward, the air inlet hole plate 8 is separated from the upper valve cover 13, the air inlet is opened, and the external air is supplemented into the pipeline to avoid the negative pressure caused by the water column being pulled off.
[0036] In summary: the adjustable water hammer buffer air valve, by setting the valve body 1, the spring 11 support 2, the ball 3, the casing 4, the casing cover plate 5, the diaphragm 6, the piston 7, the air inlet hole plate 8, the adjustable exhaust hole plate 9, the buffer exhaust port 10, the spring 11, the lower cavity 12, the upper valve cover 13, the upper cavity 14, the piston guide support 15, the air inlet hole plate guide support 16, the hollow pipe diameter 17, the lower bottom plate 18 and the bolt 19 are used in cooperation, the valve body 1 is connected with the water conveying pipeline, when the water conveying pipeline is normally operated, the water flow enters the lower cavity 12, immerses the outside of the ball 3 and the piston 7, and the lower cavity 12 is filled with water when there is no gas in the pipeline, the ball 3 is lifted by the buoyancy, the lower port of the hollow pipe diameter 17 is sealed, and the valve is closed. When the pipeline has negative pressure, when the pipeline pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure, the linkage components (including the air inlet hole plate 8, the adjustable exhaust hole plate 9, the spring 11), the ball 3 and the piston 7 move downward, the air inlet hole plate 8 is separated from the upper valve cover 13, the air inlet is opened, and the external air is supplemented into the pipeline to avoid the negative pressure caused by the water column being pulled off.
