Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the sanitary ware industry, and in particular to a manual / automatic integrated solenoid valve and a valve core using this solenoid valve. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing faucets use ceramic discs as valve cores to regulate water flow and temperature. When touch, sensor, or remote control are needed to control water flow or switch operation, a solenoid valve is required. However, existing faucets with solenoid valves are very complex, have high manufacturing costs, and are inconvenient for end users to install and maintain. Furthermore, the valve core cannot function when the solenoid valve is de-energized. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a manual / automatic integrated solenoid valve, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A manual / automatic integrated solenoid valve, comprising:

[0006] ontology;

[0007] An actuated component is disposed within the main body, the actuated component comprising a housing, a first magnet, a stationary iron core, and a moving iron core disposed sequentially within the housing;

[0008] A first actuation component is disposed within the body, the first actuation component including a first spring sleeved on the actuated component, a second magnet and a second spring sleeved outside the body, and a button sleeved outside the second magnet and the second spring. The first spring is disposed between the actuated component and the body, and the second spring is disposed below the second magnet; and

[0009] A diaphragm valve, wherein the diaphragm valve is provided with a pressure relief hole;

[0010] When the button is pressed, the second magnet moves closer to the first magnet. Under the action of the second spring, the second magnet keeps the button in its current state and drives the actuated component away from the pressure relief hole, opening the pressure relief hole and opening the diaphragm valve. When the button is pressed again, the second magnet moves away from the first magnet under the action of the second spring, resetting the actuated component under the action of the first spring, closing the pressure relief hole and closing the diaphragm valve.

[0011] As a further improvement, a second actuation component is also included, which includes a solenoid valve structure sleeved on the body. The second actuation component is energized. When the second actuation component is energized in the forward direction, the moving iron core and the stationary iron core are attracted together, the pressure relief hole is opened, and the diaphragm valve is opened. When the second actuation component is energized in the reverse direction, the moving iron core and the stationary iron core are separated, the pressure relief hole is closed, and the diaphragm valve is closed.

[0012] As a further improvement, a magnetron is disposed within the body, and a retaining ring is disposed outside the body, the retaining ring being positioned axially between the button and the body; a third magnet is disposed on the retaining ring, the third magnet being close to the magnetron to detect whether the button is pressed.

[0013] As a further improvement, the magnetron is a polarized magnetron.

[0014] As a further improvement, the button is sleeved outside the second magnet and the second actuation assembly, the body has an upper column and a lower seat located below the upper column, and the fixing ring is sleeved outside the button and abuts against the lower seat.

[0015] As a further improvement, the diaphragm valve is located on the lower surface of the lower seat, and a sealing element is provided at the end of the moving iron core away from the stationary iron core. The sealing element can selectively seal the pressure relief hole of the diaphragm valve.

[0016] As a further improvement, a base is provided below the main body, and the diaphragm valve is located between the base and the main body; the base is provided with a first water passage corresponding to the pressure relief hole and a second water passage around the first water passage, and the diaphragm valve is provided with a water passage corresponding to the second water passage.

[0017] As a further improvement, a retaining structure is provided on the upper surface of the fixing ring, the retaining structure being sleeved on the lower end of the button and fixedly connected to the button.

[0018] As a further improvement, a valve housing is provided over both the first actuation component and the second actuation component, and the valve housing is connected to the base.

[0019] A valve core of a solenoid valve employing the aforementioned manual / automatic operation includes a housing, a moving valve plate and a stationary valve plate disposed within the housing, and a water outlet component disposed below the housing. The stationary valve plate is connected to the water outlet component. The manual / automatic operation solenoid valve is connected to the moving valve plate and disposed within the housing. By operating the manual / automatic operation solenoid valve, the moving valve plate and the stationary valve plate are driven to move relative to each other, thereby causing water to flow from the water outlet component to the inlet of the stationary valve plate, through the inlet of the moving valve plate, and then, under the control of the manual / automatic operation solenoid valve, to the outlet of the moving valve plate and the outlet of the stationary valve plate, and finally to the outlet of the water outlet component.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By interlocking the manual first actuation component and the magnetic second actuation component on the main body, and setting the actuated component within the main body, and setting a diaphragm valve on the main body, a manual-automatic integrated solenoid valve and its valve core are formed. Thus, only one valve core is needed to achieve solenoid valve and ceramic flow and temperature regulation functions as well as manual and automatic control functions. By setting an actuated component within the main body, it can be ensured that when the power failure affects the use of the second actuation component, the actuated component can be opened by manually pressing the first actuation component to release pressure, ensuring that water flow can pass through the diaphragm valve and the valve core can be used normally. Regardless of whether the first actuation component is manually controlled or the second actuation component is controlled by the solenoid valve, the water flow must pass through the diaphragm valve, ensuring that the water flow of the valve core of the manual-automatic integrated solenoid valve is limited and precisely controlled, achieving a throttling effect. Its structure is simple and easy to manufacture, optimizing the manufacturing cost of faucets using this solenoid valve or valve core, and making installation and maintenance convenient for end users.

Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a valve core of a manual / automatic integrated solenoid valve 2 includes a housing 1, a manual / automatic integrated solenoid valve 2 disposed within the housing 1, a moving valve plate 3 and a stationary valve plate 4, and a water outlet 5 disposed below the housing 1. The manual / automatic integrated solenoid valve 2 is connected to the moving valve plate 3 and disposed within the housing 1, and the stationary valve plate 4 is connected to the water outlet 5. The moving valve plate 3 and the stationary valve plate 4 are rotatably arranged relative to each other. By operating the manual / automatic integrated solenoid valve 2, the moving valve plate 3 and the stationary valve plate 4 are driven to rotate relative to each other, thereby causing water to flow from the water outlet 5 to the inlet of the stationary valve plate 4, through the inlet of the moving valve plate 3, and then, controlled by the manual / automatic integrated solenoid valve 2, to the outlet of the moving valve plate 3 and the outlet of the stationary valve plate 4, and finally to the outlet of the water outlet 5.

[0045] Reference Figures 3 to 12As shown, a manual / automatic integrated solenoid valve 2 includes a base 26 and a valve housing 27 covering the base 26. When the valve housing 27 and the base 26 are closed, they form an accommodating space. Within this accommodating space, a first actuating component 23, the main body 21, a second actuating component 25, and a driven component 22 are sequentially housed. By manipulating the first actuating component 23, the magnet within the first actuating component 23 drives the iron core within the driven component 22 to attract or disengage, thereby opening or closing the diaphragm valve 24. Alternatively, by manipulating the second actuating component 25, which is energized in either the forward or reverse direction, the iron core within the driven component 22 is attracted or disengaged, causing the diaphragm valve 24 to open or close, thus controlling the water intake or closure of the valve core.

[0046] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the diaphragm valve 24 has a pressure relief hole 241 at its center, and a water passage hole 42 is provided on the surface of the diaphragm valve 24 off-center. The base 26 has a first water passage hole 261 corresponding to the pressure relief hole 241, and a second water passage hole 262 surrounding the first water passage hole 261. The water passage hole 42 corresponds to the second water passage hole 262. In addition, a mounting part is provided on the outer periphery of the diaphragm valve 24. The body 21 includes an upper column 211 and a lower seat 212 located below the upper column 211. A cavity is formed in the body 21 from one end of the lower seat 212 to one end of the upper column 211, and the driven assembly 22 is disposed in the cavity. The lower surface of the lower seat 212 is provided with a first mounting position, and the surface of the base 26 near the end of the body 21 is provided with a second mounting position. The second mounting position corresponds to the first mounting position, and the mounting part of the diaphragm valve 24 is sandwiched between the first mounting position and the second mounting position to fix and seal the diaphragm valve 24.

[0047] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the second actuation component 25 includes a solenoid valve structure 251 sleeved on the upper column 211 and abutting against the upper surface of the lower seat 212. The second actuation component 25 is energized. (Reference) Figures 10 to 12As shown, the actuated assembly 22 includes a housing 221, a first magnet 222 arranged from the inside to the outside of the housing 221, a spacer, a second circular magnet, a stationary iron core 223, a moving iron core 224, and a sealing member 225. The moving iron core 224 has a first hole near the end of the stationary iron core 223, and a third spring is arranged in the first hole. The moving iron core 224 can drive the sealing member 225 to extend or retract inside and outside the housing 221. When the second actuation component 25 is energized in the forward direction, the moving iron core 224 and the stationary iron core 223 are attracted together, the third spring is compressed, the moving iron core 224 drives the sealing element 225 away from the diaphragm valve 24, the pressure relief hole 241 is opened, the diaphragm valve 24 is opened, and water can flow from the first water passage hole 261 to the pressure relief hole 241, through the water passage hole 42 to the second water passage hole 262, and then to the stationary valve plate 4. When the second actuation component 25 is energized in the reverse direction, the moving iron core 224 and the stationary iron core 223 are separated, the third spring is reset and pushes the moving iron core 224, driving the sealing element 225 closer to the diaphragm valve 24, the pressure relief hole 241 is closed, the first water passage hole 261 is blocked, the diaphragm valve 24 is closed, and water cannot flow through.

[0048] Specifically, refer to Figures 4 to 8As shown, the first actuation component 23 includes a first spring 231 sleeved outside the actuated component 22, a second magnet 232 and a second spring 233 sleeved outside the body 21, and a button 234 sleeved outside the second magnet 232 and the second spring 233. The first spring 231 is located between the actuated component 22 and the body 21, and the second spring 233 is located below the second magnet 232 and between the second magnet 232 and the second actuation component 25. When button 234 is pressed, the second magnet 232 moves closer to the first magnet 222. Under the action of the second spring 233, the second magnet 232 keeps button 234 in a fixed state and drives the actuated component 22 away from the pressure relief hole 241. The third spring is compressed, and the moving iron core 224 drives the seal 225 away from the diaphragm valve 24. The pressure relief hole 241 is opened, the diaphragm valve 24 is opened, and water can flow from the first water passage hole 261 to the pressure relief hole 241 and through the water passage hole 261. The water flows through hole 42 to the second water passage hole 262 and then to the stationary valve plate 4; when the button 234 is pressed again, the second magnet 232 moves away from the first magnet 222 under the action of the second spring 233, the actuated component 22 is reset under the action of the first spring 231, the third spring is reset and pushes the actuated component 22, causing the seal 225 to move closer to the diaphragm valve 24, the pressure relief hole 241 is closed, the first water passage hole 261 is blocked, the diaphragm valve 24 is closed, and water cannot flow through.

[0049] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the lower surface of the body 21 is recessed upwards with a placement groove 213, and a magnetron 235 is disposed within the placement groove 213. A retaining ring 236 is fitted over the body 21, and the retaining ring 236 is axially positioned between the button 234 and the body 21. A placement post 2361 is disposed on the retaining ring 236, and a third magnet 237 is disposed on the placement post 2361. The third magnet 237 is positioned close to the magnetron 235 to detect whether the button 234 can be pressed. In this embodiment, the magnetron 235 is a polarized magnetron 235. When closed, the N or S pole is close to the magnetron 235; when open, the S or N pole is close to the magnetron 235, thereby detecting whether the manual button 234 is pressed. In particular, when the manual-automatic integrated solenoid valve 2 is opened, if the button 234 is pressed, the second actuation component 25 can close the manual-automatic integrated solenoid valve 2, ensuring that the water circuit can be closed when the first actuation component 23 is closed.

[0050] Specifically, refer to Figures 4 to 7As shown, a retaining structure 238 is provided on the upper surface of the fixing ring 236. The retaining structure 238 is provided with a plurality of inclined posts 2381 evenly arranged in the circumferential direction. The lower surface end of the button 234 is provided with a plurality of inclined positions 2341 in the circumferential direction. The inclined posts 2381 and the inclined positions 2341 cooperate with each other so that the retaining structure 238 is sleeved on the lower end of the button 234 and fixedly connected to the button 234. The second actuation component 25 is arranged in parallel with the retaining structure 238, which can shorten the length of the valve core and make the structure more compact.

[0051] When the valve core is installed inside the faucet and connected to the faucet handle, specifically, the outer surface of the valve housing 27 is uniformly provided with multiple external splines, and the faucet handle is provided with corresponding internal splines. The handle, connected to the valve core, drives the movable valve plate 3 to rotate, thereby allowing adjustment of the water flow rate and temperature. When the button 234 is pressed, the second magnet 232 causes the actuated component 22 to move in the valve-opening direction, enabling the button 234 to open and close the diaphragm valve 24 even when the battery of the second actuated component 25 is depleted.

[0052] 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, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
