[0021] Reference signs: 100, valve body; 200, upper flange; 300, upper float; 301, through groove; 302, nozzle; 400, lower float; 401, sealing element; 500, perforated plate; 600, sealing ring. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
[0023] As Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, an air valve, a valve body 100, the inside of the valve body 100 is provided with a float group, wherein the float group includes an upper float 300 and a lower float 400, the upper float 300 and the lower float 400 are not in direct contact, but under the action of the liquid medium, the float group can be relatively displaced, and a gas passage is arranged in the float group, the gas passage is used to discharge the gas in the liquid medium contained in the valve body 100. Specifically, when there is liquid medium in the air valve, the float group is lifted due to the rising of the water level, so that the gas passage is exposed, and air can be discharged from the gas passage, and when the water level continues to rise to a certain height.
[0024] It can be understood that the higher the water level, the more liquid medium in the valve body 100, and the relatively more air exists, so that more air will be discharged upward from the gas passage, and in the case of reduced gas, the support force on the float group is reduced, so that the float group will drop with the rising of the water level, and finally close the gas passage. The opening degree of the gas passage is automatically adjusted by the float according to the change of the water level, that is, the more liquid, the more air, and the distance between the upper float 300 and the lower float 400 will increase accordingly, so that the space at the bottom of the gas passage increases, so that the gas is discharged faster, and vice versa. The distance between the upper float 300 and the lower float 400 is reduced, so that the space at the bottom of the gas passage is reduced, so that the air is discharged relatively slowly.
[0025] The upper and lower ends of the float group are respectively connected with the inlet and outlet of the valve body 100, so as to adjust the air exhaust degree of the air valve.
[0026] In summary, by arranging the float group in the valve body 100, and the float group can move relatively, the float can automatically adjust the opening and closing degree of the gas passage, that is, the nozzle 302, according to the change of the water level, which can quickly respond to the pressure change in the system. Compared with the existing single float structure, the air valve can optimize the pressure control in the air valve to further optimize the pressure control in the pipeline.
[0027] Optionally, a sealing member 401 corresponding to the position of the gas passage is arranged at the upper end of the lower float 400, when the distance between the upper float 300 and the lower float 400 is reduced to the gas passage and the sealing member 401 is attached, the gas passage stops discharging or supplementing air. The sealing member 401 can be a T-shaped sealing gasket, which is embedded into the top of the lower float 400. When the sealing member 401 is damaged, it can be replaced to ensure that the air valve can be used normally.
[0028] Optionally, the structure of the gas passage is described, the gas passage can be arranged at the center of the upper floating block 300, but can also be arranged according to actual needs, and the position corresponding to the sealing element 401 can be ensured. The gas passage includes a through groove 301 penetrating through the upper floating block 300, and a nozzle 302 is arranged in the through groove, the nozzle 302 protrudes from the lower surface of the lower floating block 400, so that the nozzle 302 can be in contact with the surface of the sealing element 401.
[0029] Optionally, the outer diameter of the floating block group is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the valve body 100, for example, the diameter difference can be 1-2mm, so that the liquid can pass through.
[0030] Optionally, the valve body 100 is made of stainless steel, which has stronger corrosion resistance than a nodular cast iron casting, and has stable structure and high strength.
[0031] Optionally, the inlet of the valve body 100 is provided with a perforated plate 500, the perforated plate 500 is below the floating block group, the liquid medium in the pipeline can enter through the perforated plate 500, and the perforated plate 500 can prevent impurities from entering.
[0032] Optionally, the upper flange 200 is detachably arranged above the valve body 100, for example, the upper flange 200 is connected with the valve body 100 below by bolts, the upper surface of the upper floating block 300 is fixedly provided with a sealing ring 600, the sealing ring 600 is in contact with the bottom of the upper flange 200, when the upper floating block 300 and the upper flange 200 are in contact, the sealing property of the two can be effectively improved, and gas leakage from the contact position of the two can be avoided.
[0033] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables a person skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application.
