However, the above-mentioned solution mainly focuses on the anti-freezing problem of the valve itself, and cannot realize the function of adding antifreeze regularly and quantitatively required by the user. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide an automatic drainage combination valve, which can facilitate users to add antifreeze and other media to the water supply system at preset time intervals, and solve the technical problem that the existing technology cannot realize drainage and replenishment.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present application is: an automatic drainage combination valve, including a valve body, a drainage device installed at the water outlet end of the valve body, a drainage connector installed in the drainage device, the drainage connector being in a horn-shaped structure, the diameter of one end of the drainage connector close to the valve body being greater than the diameter of the other end of the drainage connector away from the valve body, a drainage port being formed on the surface of the drainage device and sealed by a plug, the drainage port being arranged corresponding to the outer periphery of the drainage connector, and the media introduced through the drainage port being mixed with the media passing through the drainage connector and then output from the drainage device.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the application has the advantages that a flow guide is installed at the water outlet end of the valve body to realize the flow guiding function. Specifically, a flow guide connector is installed in the flow guide, the flow guide connector has a horn-shaped structure, and the diameter of one end of the flow guide connector close to the valve body is greater than the diameter of the other end of the flow guide connector away from the valve body. According to Bernoulli's principle, the flow rate of the medium is increased to reduce the pressure of the medium. Correspondingly, a flow guide opening is formed on the surface of the flow guide and is sealed by a plug, and the flow guide opening is arranged at the outer periphery of the flow guide connector. Then, the user can operate the plug to open the flow guide opening and add the antifreeze medium to the flow guide opening, and the antifreeze medium entering the flow guide will be carried out of the flow guide by the medium passing through the flow guide connector. The flow guide connector has a horn-shaped structure, which realizes accurate introduction and uniform mixing of the antifreeze medium, and ensures the supplement effect of the water supply system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0029] The automatic flow-inducing combined valve, embodiment one is as Figures 1 to 4As shown: The system includes a valve body 1, with a flow guide 5 installed at the outlet end of the valve body 1. A flow guide connector 18 is installed inside the flow guide 5. The flow guide connector 18 has a trumpet-shaped structure, with the diameter of the end of the flow guide connector 18 closer to the valve body 1 being larger than the diameter of the end farther from the valve body 1. According to Bernoulli's principle, this increases the flow velocity of the medium, thereby reducing the pressure of the medium. A flow port 51 is formed on the surface of the flow guide 5 and sealed by a plug 19. The flow port 51 is correspondingly located on the outer periphery of the flow guide connector 18. The user can operate the plug 19 to open the flow port 51 and add antifreeze or other media to it. The media introduced through the flow port 51 mixes with the media passing through the flow guide connector 18 and exits through the flow guide 5.

[0030] Users only need to open plug 19 and add antifreeze through drain port 51, without disassembling pipelines or shutting down the system, greatly improving the convenience of system maintenance. Drain port 51 uses a plug 19 sealing design to ensure the system's airtightness when not in use, preventing leakage and air ingress.

[0031] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the end of the drain connector 18 closest to the valve body 1 is designated as the front end, and the end of the drain connector 18 furthest from the valve body 1 is designated as the rear end. The front end of the drain connector 18 is sealed to the inner wall of the drainer 5, and there is a gap between the middle of the drain connector 18 and the inner wall of the drainer 5. The medium introduced through the drain port 51 enters this gap. First, the front end of the drain connector 18 is sealed to the inner wall of the drainer 5, ensuring that all the medium entering the drainer 5 passes through the drain connector 18. As the medium passes through the drainer 5, it accelerates, resulting in lower pressure at this point. There is a siphon effect at the gap between the drain connector 18 and the inner wall of the drainer 5. Even if the user opens the plug 19, the medium will not be discharged from the drain port 51, and the antifreeze poured into the drain port 51 will also be carried away by the siphon effect.

The drainage tube 20 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the drainage device 5. In this application, the drainage tube 20 is set to divide the drainage device 5 into two parts. The inner diameter of the drainage tube 20 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the rear end of the drainage connector 18, which can cooperate with the drainage connector 18 to achieve drainage and avoid interference from the subsequent pipeline environment.

[0034] The drain 5 is a whole elbow structure, the drain 5 includes a bending section, the drain connector 18 and the drain pipe 20 are located at the front side of the bending section. That is, the medium will first pass through the drain connector 18 and the drain pipe 20, and then reach the bending section of the drain 5. Specifically, in the present application, the drain 5 is a whole elbow structure with a bending angle of 90 degrees.

In the present application, the connection between the drain 5 and the valve body 1 is a detachable clamping structure. The whole combined valve can be assembled according to the use requirements of the user to realize the non-standard use requirements.

Similarly, the present application can add the check valve 4 according to the use requirements of the user to assemble the whole combined valve to realize the non-standard use requirements.

[0038] The control pipe 2 is vertically arranged in the middle of the valve body 1, the control pipe 2 is in communication with the valve body 1, and the medium entering the valve body 1 through the water inlet reaches the water outlet of the valve body 1 through the control pipe 2.

[0039] The upper end of the control pipe 2 is provided with a water supplement assembly, and the lower end of the control pipe 2 is open to form a drain outlet. After the pipeline of the water supply system is closed, the excess medium in the drain 5 will flow back to the control pipe 2 and be discharged through the drain outlet.

That is, when the press switch 14 is not pressed, the combined valve of the present application is in a closed state.
