Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to three -way valve technical field, concretely is a three -way valve structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] There are many noninvasive sputum machines based on MI-E technology on the market, and the technical principle is to first introduce positive pressure into the airway, and then quickly switch to negative pressure to generate shear force on the sputum in the trachea, thereby assisting patients without coughing ability to expel sputum. In recent years, high-frequency oscillation function has also been added to noninvasive sputum machines. This function helps to loosen sputum and improve treatment effect by oscillating airflow when air is supplied to the patient's body.

[0003] However, most of the switching structures on the market are based on electromagnetic valve principle, which can only control the switch and cannot finely adjust the output pressure. The control pressure can only be adjusted by adjusting the fan speed. When the positive and negative pressures are inconsistent, the adjustment speed is slow, the pressure cannot quickly reach the target pressure when switching between positive and negative pressures, and the treatment effect is not good.

[0004] The realization of the oscillation function mainly uses a combination of a stepper motor and a servo motor to control the valve to bleed air. This structure opens a hole on the output pipeline and installs two ball valve structures. The first valve is controlled by the rotation of the stepper motor. During treatment, the stepper motor rotates according to the set oscillation frequency to control the output pipeline to open and close regularly, thereby producing an oscillation effect. The second valve is connected to the servo motor. This valve controls the opening that connects to the atmosphere to achieve the effect of controlling the oscillation amplitude. This structure is complex, requires the use of multiple control devices in series, and completely relies on passive control of oscillation, which is slow in response. The pressure oscillation at the patient end is not strong, and since it is directly connected to the atmosphere, air is sucked into the device without being filtered by the filter cotton when the pipeline is under negative pressure, which can cause pipeline contamination and even the entry of foreign matter to damage the valve or fan.

[0036] The switch can be adjusted in two directions, and has the following states:

[0037] When the switch is in the middle state, both the first through hole 6 and the second through hole 7 of the valve are opened to a small extent;

[0038] When the switch moves in the direction of opening the first through hole 6, the opening of the first through hole 6 becomes larger, and the opening of the second through hole 7 becomes smaller;

[0039] Continue to move in the direction of opening the first through hole 6, so that the opening of the first through hole 6 becomes larger, and the second through hole 7 is just closed;

[0043] Example 2: Based on example 1, this example introduces the internal structure of the housing a101 and the valve core a201. When the valve core a201 is located at one end of the internal structure of the housing a101, the first air outlet a401 is connected to the air inlet a301 through the first through hole a601, and the valve core a201 blocks the top of the second air outlet a501. When the valve core a201 is located at the middle of the internal structure of the housing a101, the first air outlet a401 is connected to the air inlet a301 through the first through hole a601, and at the same time, the second air outlet a501 is connected to the air inlet a301 through the second through hole a701. When the valve core a201 is located at the other end of the internal structure of the housing a101, the second air outlet a501 is connected to the air inlet a301 through the second through hole a701, and the valve core a201 blocks the top of the first air outlet a401;

[0044] The device consists of a housing a101 and a valve core a201. The upper part is an air inlet a301, and the lower part is a first air outlet a401 and a second air outlet a501. The valve core a201 is a slider with two through holes inside, a first through hole a601 and a second through hole a701, which allow gas to flow in the through holes. The slider can slide inside the housing a101, so that the through hole of the valve core a201 overlaps with the air outlet of the housing a101, thereby controlling the amount of gas passing through the first air outlet a401 and the second air outlet a501.

[0048] like Figure 4 When the valve core a201 is in the right position, the gas enters from the inlet a301, passes through the second through hole a701 and flows out from the second outlet a501.

[0049] When the control valve core a201 is slightly tilted to the left, the second outlet a501 is completely closed and the first outlet a401 is partially opened, thereby controlling a small amount of gas to flow out.

[0050] The opening shape of the housing a101 and the channel shape of the valve core a201 are designed according to actual needs, so as to achieve different flow control requirements.

[0051] Embodiment 3: Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment introduces the internal structure of the shell b102 and the valve core b202.

When the first air outlet b402 is located between the first through hole b602 and the second through hole b702, the first through hole b602 is connected with the air inlet b302 through the first air outlet b402, and at the same time, the second through hole b702 is connected with the air inlet b302 through the first air outlet b402. When the shell b102 moves downward, the second through hole b702 is connected with the air inlet b302 through the first air outlet b402, and the shell b102 blocks the inner side of the first through hole b602.

[0052] The air inlet b302 is located at the bottom of the shell b102, the valve core b202 is vertically through, the valve core b202 is provided with a first through hole b602 and a second through hole b702 on the side surface, the shell b102 is provided with a first air outlet b402 on the side surface, and the shell b102 can slide up and down to control the opening size of the air outlet of the valve core b202.

[0054] As shown in Figure 6 , the shell b102 is in the middle position, and the gas flows out from the first through hole b602 and the second through hole b702.

[0055] As shown in Figure 7 , the shell b102 is in the bottom position, at this time the second through hole b702 is completely opened, the gas enters from the air inlet b302 and flows out from the second through hole b702 through the first air outlet b402.

[0056] When the shell b102 is in the middle position, at this time the first through hole b602 is completely closed, the second through hole b702 is opened by a small part, and further downward can control the opening size of the second through hole b702 to realize the control of the flow size.

[0057] The through hole in the figure is only for the purpose of illustration, and in actual use, different shapes can be designed according to the needs to meet the fine control of the size of the air outlet opening. Embodiment

When the shell c103 rotates to make the second through hole c703 communicate with the second gas outlet c503, the valve core c203 blocks the bottom of the first gas outlet c403.

[0064] The application device is composed of a fan, two above-mentioned positive and negative pressure switching devices A and B, a power source for controlling the switching device, and a pipeline, and the P end is an output end.

[0065] The position of the A and B valves can be controlled to control the pressure, and the details are as follows:

[0066] In the table:

[0067] The left four columns of valve control part 1 represent complete opening, 0 represents complete closing, and 0.x represents opening to a certain extent;

[0068] The output part Pmax represents the maximum pressure determined by the fan speed, 0 represents that the output pressure is 0, and P represents an adjustable pressure between 0 and Pmax;

[0069] By fixing the position of one valve, the rapid reciprocating motion of the other valve can be controlled to realize the rapid oscillation of the pressure;

[0070] For example

[0071] The A1 valve is completely closed, and the A2 valve is completely opened, at this time the maximum pressure is output, and the state of the switching valve is switched to the A1 valve being completely opened and the A2 valve being completely closed, so that the positive and negative pressure can be rapidly switched;

[0072] The A1 valve is completely opened, and the A2 valve is completely closed, at this time the reciprocating motion of the control valve B can control the rapid change of the pressure in the negative pressure, thereby generating a negative pressure oscillation effect;

[0073] The B1 valve is completely opened, and the B2 valve is completely closed, at this time the reciprocating motion of the control valve B can control the rapid change of the pressure in the positive pressure, thereby generating a positive pressure oscillation effect.

[0074] Working principle: The three-way valve structure can realize the rapid switching of the airflow direction, and can realize the output pressure adjustment and airflow oscillation function by controlling the position of the valve, and can also control the oscillation frequency and amplitude according to the requirements; through the combination of the valves, in addition, the same air inlet can be used for air intake, thereby avoiding pipeline pollution.
