[0002] In the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, or food industries, liquid dispensing systems often use a single flow control valve for dispensing, which is insufficient to meet the requirements for high-precision dispensing.

[0003] Currently, in many of these industries, high-precision liquid batching is still done manually, which cannot meet the needs of automated batching. To facilitate automated batching, some attempts have been made in the industry. For example, Chinese Patent CN212251151U, published on December 9, 2020, discloses a valve structure for precise addition of liquid raw materials, including: a valve body with multiple valve chambers, and a pressure port, a feed inlet, and a discharge port; a valve core assembly disposed within the valve chambers; when in a pressureless or first pressure-controlled state, the valve core assembly closes the discharge port; when in a second pressure-controlled state, the valve core assembly fully opens the discharge port, and the feed inlet communicates with the discharge port through the valve chamber; when in a third pressure-controlled state, the feed inlet communicates with the discharge port through the valve core assembly; and when in a fourth pressure-controlled state, the feed inlet and discharge port alternately close and communicate through the valve core assembly. However, this type of valve structure is cumbersome to control during use, and its complex structure makes it prone to damage. Utility Model Content

A cylinder is mounted at the top of the support rod, and the piston head of the cylinder is connected to the valve core through the floating joint.

[0012] Furthermore, a number of sealing rings are provided between the valve core and the valve body.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to one aspect of this application, one embodiment provides a high-precision liquid dispensing valve, which is a combination valve including a high-flow valve 1, a low-flow valve 2, an inlet pipe 3, and an outlet pipe 4.

[0028] Both the high-flow valve 1 and the low-flow valve 2 include a valve body 8, a valve core 9, a cylinder 10, a support rod 11, and a floating joint 12. The valve core 9 is slidably mounted on the valve body 8. Multiple sealing rings 13 are provided on the valve core 9 and / or inside the valve body 8. The sealing rings 13 include, but are not limited to, plug seals, guide rings, O-rings, oil seals, etc. The valve body 8 is provided with four support rods 11, which are located at the four corners of the valve body 8. A cylinder 10 is mounted at the top of the support rod 11. The piston head of the cylinder 10 is connected to the valve core 9 through the floating joint 12. The floating joint 12 can solve connection problems caused by vibration or installation errors, and reduce equipment failure and downtime.

[0029] The high-flow valve 1 is a three-way pneumatic valve. In its valve body 8, the three-way liquid passage includes a side liquid inlet 5 and a bottom liquid outlet 6. The side liquid inlet 5 is set with unequal diameter, and the diameter changes at the position where it connects with the bottom liquid outlet 6. When the valve core 9 is closed, the valve core 9 passes through the side liquid inlet 5 and the bottom liquid outlet is blocked by the valve core head 15. In order to prevent leakage, the valve core head 15 is made of rubber with sealing properties, such as silicone rubber, fluororubber, nitrile rubber, etc.

[0030] The small flow valve 2 is a reflux type pneumatic valve. Its valve body 8 is provided with an inlet channel and a reflux channel 7. The inlet channel is a blind channel, and the reflux channel 7 is interconnected at the end of the inlet channel. The valve core 9 of the small flow valve 2 is located at the end of the inlet channel. When the valve core 9 is closed, the valve core head 15 of the valve core 9 blocks the opening of the reflux channel 7. In order to prevent leakage, the valve core head 15 is made of rubber with sealing properties.

[0031] The inner diameter of the return channel 7 of the small flow valve 2 is smaller than the inner diameter of the inlet channel 5 and the outlet channel 6 of the large flow valve 1.

[0032] The return channel 7 of the small flow valve 2 extends in the opposite direction to the surface of the valve body 8, which can serve as a process hole for the return channel 7. At the same time, it facilitates cleaning of the return channel 7 during later use.

[0033] The large flow valve 1 and the small flow valve 2 are side by side and fastened together by fasteners, so that the liquid inlet channel 5 of the large flow valve 1 and the liquid inlet channel of the small flow valve 2 are connected to each other. In order to prevent liquid leakage, an O-ring is provided at the liquid inlet of the large flow valve 1 and the small flow valve 2.

[0034] The return channel 7 of the small flow valve 2 extends into the large flow valve 1 and connects to the bottom outlet channel 6. An anti-backflow pipe 14 is provided on the return channel 7 of the large flow valve 1. The anti-backflow pipe 14 is a bend and the opening of the anti-backflow pipe 14 faces the direction of liquid flow.

[0035] In some cases, the anti-backflow pipe 14 is misaligned with the return channel 7 to further control the flow rate of the liquid and improve the accuracy of the dispensing valve.

[0036] The inlet pipe 3 is installed on the side inlet channel 5 of the high flow valve 1, and the outlet pipe 4 is installed on the bottom outlet channel 6 of the high flow valve 2.

[0037] In some embodiments, the inlet pipe 3 is integrally formed with the valve body 8 of the high-flow valve 1.

[0038] In some embodiments, an adapter is provided between the outlet pipe 4 and the valve body 8 of the high-flow valve 1 to accommodate outlet pipes of different diameters.

[0039] This utility model discloses a high-precision liquid dispensing valve. When dispensing liquid, the liquid is first added coarsely through a high-flow-rate valve, and then precisely added through a low-flow-rate valve, achieving the purpose of fast addition speed and high precision.

[0040] This invention relates to a high-precision liquid dispensing valve, which is a combination valve. When adding large quantities of chemical raw materials, the high-flow-rate valve achieves the same dispensing speed as a conventional valve of the same diameter. For precise dispensing, the low-flow-rate valve and small-diameter return channel control the precise addition of chemical raw materials, achieving an accuracy of 1 gram. Since both the high-flow-rate and low-flow-rate valves are pneumatic, the dispensing speed is not affected while maintaining accuracy, and the cost and control reliability are lower than traditional methods.

[0041] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
