[0021] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0022] Please seeFigs. 1-3 As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide an adjustable air valve, including a valve seat 1, a valve cover 11 fixedly disposed at the bottom of the valve seat 1, a bolt 2 fixedly disposed at the center of the valve seat 1 and the valve cover 11, a valve plate 5 and a buffer plate 6 vertically slidingly disposed inside the valve seat 1, a fixing pin 9 disposed at the connection between the valve cover 11 and the bottom of the bolt 2, the fixing pin 9 being used to fix and limit the bolt 2, and a nut being threaded on the top of the bolt 2.

[0023] The main function of the retaining pin 9 is to restrict the relative movement between the valve cover 11 and the bolt 2, thereby ensuring the overall stability and accuracy of the air valve. During the operation of the air valve, the valve cover 11 and the bolt 2 may be subjected to forces and vibrations from different directions. Without the restraint of the retaining pin 9, they may experience slight movement or deformation, which would affect the performance and sealing effect of the air valve. The retaining pin 9 has one or more cylindrical parts with a small diameter, which can be precisely inserted into the pre-designed holes at the bottom of the valve cover 11 and the bolt 2. When the retaining pin 9 is fully inserted, it will be firmly fixed in the hole, preventing relative movement between the valve cover 11 and the bolt 2.

[0024] The fixing pin 9 securely connects the valve cover 11 and bolt 2, forming a unified structure that shares the load with external stress and vibration. This not only improves the stability and durability of the valve but also ensures its excellent performance under harsh conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, or high frequency vibration.

[0025] A groove 13 is formed in the center of the valve seat 1. The valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6 are slidably installed in the groove 13. Both the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6 can fit tightly in the groove 13 and slide freely within it. The valve plate 5 is positioned above the buffer plate 6, which helps to contact and regulate the airflow first when gas flows. The thickness of the valve plate 5 is greater than that of the buffer plate 6, which not only provides an additional sealing effect, ensuring that the airflow channel is tightly sealed in the closed state, but also increases the mass or inertia of the valve plate 5, making it more stable during regulation and less susceptible to external interference. In addition, the buffer plate 6 also plays a certain buffering role. When the valve plate 5 moves rapidly or is impacted, the buffer plate 6 can absorb part of the impact force, protecting the valve seat 1 and other components from damage.

[0026] A spring 12 is fixedly installed in the groove 13. The spring 12 is located at the center of the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6. This means that it can apply a balanced and symmetrical elastic force to the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6, which helps to ensure that the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6 remain stable during sliding and avoid longitudinal deflection or jamming caused by uneven force.

[0027] When external conditions (such as air pressure) change, causing the valve plate 5 and buffer plate 6 to move, the spring 12 provides a restoring force, enabling them to quickly return to their initial positions after the external conditions are removed. This is crucial for maintaining the stability and accuracy of the valve. When the valve plate 5 and buffer plate 6 move rapidly or are subjected to impact, the spring 12 absorbs some energy, acting as a buffer to protect them from damage. The elasticity of the spring 12 also ensures that the valve plate 5 and buffer plate 6 always maintain a certain contact force with the sidewall of the groove 13, which helps reduce frictional resistance during sliding and enhances the sealing effect.

[0028] The nuts include a first nut 3 and a second nut 4 threaded onto one end of the bolt 2. The first nut 3 is located on top of the second nut 4, ensuring that the two can fit tightly together on the bolt 2, thereby providing additional fastening force. The double nut design ensures that the gas valve can maintain good working performance under harsh conditions such as high pressure or high frequency vibration. Furthermore, the lower surface of the second nut 4 fits tightly against the upper surface of the valve seat 1, which not only provides additional support force but also helps prevent gas leakage from the connection.

[0029] A plurality of inclined grooves 14 are provided on one side of the valve seat 1, penetrating the valve cover 11. One end of each inclined groove 14 passes through the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6. A short pin 10 is inserted into the inclined groove 14, allowing the short pin 10 to move freely within the inclined groove 14 while maintaining a certain contact with the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6. The short pin 10 adjusts the air valve by contacting the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6. The cross-section of the insertion end of the inclined groove 14 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped cross-section helps to reduce the frictional resistance of the short pin 10 during movement, allowing it to slide more smoothly. The arc-shaped cross-section also provides a certain guiding effect, helping the short pin 10 maintain the correct path within the inclined groove 14. It also increases the strength and durability of the inclined groove 14, enabling it to better withstand external pressure and vibration.

[0030] A straight groove 15 is provided on the other side of the valve seat 1, penetrating the valve cover 11. A long pin 8 is inserted into the straight groove 15. Compared with the inclined groove 14, the main difference of the straight groove 15 is that its shape is straight rather than curved, allowing the long pin 8 to move freely along a straight direction within the straight groove 15. This provides another way to adjust the air valve. Furthermore, the length of the straight groove 15 is greater than that of the inclined groove 14, meaning that the long pin 8 has a larger range of movement within the straight groove 15, allowing for more precise adjustment of the air valve to adapt to different working conditions and flow requirements. At the same time, the length of the straight groove 15 also provides stronger structural support, helping to increase the overall stability and durability of the air valve. The long pin 8 is a key component that engages within the straight groove 15. It achieves further adjustment of the air valve through contact with the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6. By adjusting the position of the long pin 8 within the straight groove 15, the relative distance or angle between the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6 can be changed, thereby achieving more precise control of the air valve flow.

[0031] Two lift pads 7 are fixedly installed inside the valve cover 11 to ensure stability during the operation of the air valve. The lift pads 7 are made of a material with high hardness and wear resistance to withstand the impact and wear when the air valve is opened and closed. The lift pads 7 are on the same side as the long pin 8, which allows the lift pads 7 to work together with the long pin 8 to regulate the air valve flow.

[0032] The main function of the lift pad 7 in the air valve is to limit the maximum lift of the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6 during the opening process. The lift pad 7 also protects the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6. When the air valve is closed, the lift pad 7 can prevent the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6 from excessively impacting the valve seat 1 or other components, thereby extending their service life.

[0033] In practical use, this utility model involves installing a bolt 2 at the center of the valve seat 1, placing the valve cover 11 on the valve seat 1, and passing the bolt 2 through the center hole of the valve cover 11. A fixing pin 9 is then engaged at the bottom connection between the valve cover 11 and the bolt 2 to restrict relative movement between them. A buffer plate 6 is installed in the groove 13, and a valve plate 5 is installed above the buffer plate 6. A spring 12 is placed in the groove 13, positioned at the center of the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6. A first nut 3 is first installed on top of the bolt 2, followed by a second nut. 4. Ensure that both are tightly fitted together. Adjust the position of the nut so that the lower surface of the second nut 4 is tightly fitted with the upper surface of the valve seat 1. Insert the short pin 10 into the inclined groove 14 and the long pin 8 into the straight groove 15. Fix two lift pads 7 inside the valve cover 11, ensuring that they are on the same side as the long pin 8. After installation, adjust the position of the short pin 10 in the inclined groove 14 and the position of the long pin 8 in the straight groove 15 as needed to change the relative distance or angle between the valve plate 5 and the buffer plate 6, thereby achieving precise control of the air valve flow.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
