Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an antifreeze valve. Background Technology

[0002] When the ambient temperature drops below zero, the large amount of water left in the drainage pipes will cool and freeze. However, since ice is less dense than water, the frozen water expands, posing a risk of cracking the drainage pipes. Currently, manual insulation wrapping is required, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Furthermore, additional power is needed to insulate the drainage pipes, making the process time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, the existing technology needs further improvement and development. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model provides an antifreeze valve.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an antifreeze valve, including a water-passing seat, a water-passing channel inside the water-passing seat, and an antifreeze valve body on the side wall communicating with the water-passing channel. The antifreeze valve body has a detachable sealing connection to a mounting seat at its end and a temperature control component inside. The mounting seat has a water outlet channel communicating with the inner cavity of the antifreeze valve body to the outside. The temperature control component includes a first spring, a temperature control rod, a second spring, and a sealing element. The first spring is connected at both ends to the antifreeze valve body and the temperature control rod, respectively. The second spring is connected at both ends to the mounting seat and the sealing element, respectively. The sealing element is connected to the temperature control rod and is driven by the first spring to press and seal the water outlet channel. When the temperature control rod contracts axially due to cold, the force balance position of the temperature control rod and the sealing element moves away from the mounting seat, thereby connecting the inner cavity of the antifreeze valve body with the water outlet channel.

[0005] Furthermore, the temperature control rod and the sealing element are coaxially arranged, and a positioning seat is screwed onto the inner wall of the antifreeze valve body. The positioning seat has a through hole one and a through hole two. The end of the temperature control rod passes through the through hole one and connects to the sealing element.

[0006] Furthermore, the sealing element has a groove corresponding to the temperature control rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper end of the seal is provided with a snap-fit ​​part, and a sealing gasket is fitted on the snap-fit ​​part.

[0008] Furthermore, a water outlet connector is screwed to the end of the antifreeze valve body.

[0009] Furthermore, the side wall of the water-passing seat is provided with an exhaust valve body that communicates with the water-passing channel. The exhaust valve body is provided with an exhaust inner core and a plug cap that can be detachably connected to the end. A gasket is provided between the exhaust inner core and the plug cap in the exhaust valve body.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows: This utility model has a simple and compact structure. Based on the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of the temperature control rod, when the temperature control rod is cooled and axially contracted, the force balance position of the temperature control rod and the sealing element moves away from the mounting base. The water stored in the water passage can be discharged from the water outlet, avoiding the water from freezing and cracking the pipe. It is very convenient to use in practice. Attached Figure Description

[0011] Figure 1 This is a plan view of an antifreeze valve according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0012] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an antifreeze valve according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a water-passing seat 1, a water-passing channel 1-1 inside the water-passing seat 1, and an antifreeze valve body 2 on the side wall. The inner cavity of the antifreeze valve body 2 communicates with the water-passing channel 1-1. An installation seat 3 is provided in the open end of the antifreeze valve body 2, and a water outlet connector 11 is screwed to the end. The installation seat 3 is detachably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the antifreeze valve body 2, and has a water outlet channel 3-1 connecting the inner cavity of the antifreeze valve body 2 to the outside. In this application, the installation seat 3 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the antifreeze valve body 2, and a sealing ring 17 is provided between the installation seat 3 and the antifreeze valve body 2 to ensure the sealing between the antifreeze valve body 2 and the installation seat 3, so that the medium in the water-passing channel 1-1 is discharged to the outside through the inner cavity of the antifreeze valve body 2 and the water outlet channel 3-1.

[0013] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the antifreeze valve body 2 in this embodiment is equipped with a temperature control component 4. The temperature control component 4 includes a spring element 5, a temperature control rod 6, a spring element 7, and a sealing element 8. The two ends of the spring element 5 abut against the antifreeze valve body 2 and the temperature control rod 6, respectively. The two ends of the spring element 7 abut against the mounting base 3 and the sealing element 8, respectively. The sealing element 8 is coaxially arranged with the temperature control rod 6 and abuts against the spring element 5 and the spring element 7 under pressure. Since the elastic coefficient of the spring element 5 is greater than that of the spring element 7, the sealing element 8 is driven by the spring element 5 to press and seal the water outlet channel 3-1. When the temperature control rod 6 is cooled and axially contracted, the force balance position of the temperature control rod 6 and the sealing element 8 moves away from the mounting base 3, thereby connecting the inner cavity of the antifreeze valve body 2 with the water outlet channel 3-1, and the medium in the water passage 1-1 can be discharged from the water outlet channel 3-1.

[0014] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the sealing element 8 is provided with a groove 8-1 corresponding to the temperature control rod 6. A positioning seat 9 is screwed onto the inner wall of the antifreeze valve body 2. The positioning seat 9 is provided with a through hole 9-1 and a through hole 9-2. The end of the temperature control rod 6 passes through the through hole 9-1 and abuts against the groove 8-1 of the sealing element 8. The temperature control rod 6 can move axially in the through hole 9-1, which ensures the stability of the connection and movement of the temperature control rod 6 and the sealing element 8.

[0015] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end of the sealing member 8 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 8-2, and a sealing gasket 10 is fitted on the snap-fit ​​part 8-2. The setting of the sealing gasket 10 improves the sealing performance of the sealing member 8 when it tightly seals the water outlet channel 3-1.

[0016] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the side wall of the water-passing seat 1 is provided with an exhaust valve body 13 that communicates with the water-passing channel 1-1. The exhaust valve body 13 is provided with an exhaust inner core 14 and a plug cap 15 that can be detachably connected to the end. The exhaust valve body 13 is provided with a gasket 16 between the exhaust inner core 14 and the plug cap 15. The gas in the water-passing channel 1-1 can be discharged by opening the plug cap 15.

[0017] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
