[0034] The embodiments of the present application are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are examples for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
[0035] The utility model relates to a valve piece indicating structure, including handle 100 and indicating piece 300.
[0036] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 indicated, handle 100 is installed on valve body 200, and handle 100 is connected with valve rod 210 of valve body 200. The opening of valve body 200 is controlled by rotating handle 100, that is, the opening and closing of valve body 200 and the displacement are controlled. Indicating piece 300 is installed on handle 100, and indicating piece 300 can rotate relative to handle 100, that is, indicating piece 300 does not rotate synchronously with handle 100. The center of gravity of indicating piece 300 deviates from the rotation axis of indicating piece 300, that is, the center of gravity of indicating piece 300 is not on the same straight line as the rotation axis of indicating piece 300. Indicating piece 300 is provided with mark 310, and mark 310 can be text, number, figure, symbol and the like, such as trademark, propaganda word, prompt word, pattern and the like. In actual use, as Figure 4 indicated, handle 100 and indicating piece 300 are coaxially arranged, and the axial direction is horizontally oriented. The center of gravity of indicating piece 300 is located below the rotation axis, as Figure 5 indicated, no matter handle 100 is rotated to any angle, or even if valve is inclined when the rotation axis of handle 100 is horizontal, as Figure 6 indicated, indicating piece 300 can be kept in the current position under the action of its own gravity, so that mark 310 on indicating piece 300 is kept in the normal viewing position, and user can conveniently watch mark 310 on indicating piece 300.
[0037] In an embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3The base 400 is made of a transparent material. The base 400 has an installation cavity 401 inside. The indicating member 300 is rotatably installed in the installation cavity 401. The indicating member 300 can be seen through the base 400. The base 400 is fixed on the handle 100. The base 400 rotates synchronously with the handle 100, and the indicating member 300 is positioned at the current position in the installation cavity 401 according to its own gravity. The indicating member 300 is protected in the installation cavity 401 by the base 400, and cannot be directly touched by external objects. The installation cavity 401 can be a sealed cavity, which also has a waterproof effect, so that the indicating member 300 and the base 400 can rotate smoothly relative to each other. The base 400 includes a first seat body 410 and a second seat body 420. The first seat body 410 and the second seat body 420 can be provided in a cover shape and connected by clamping, bonding or the like. The first seat body 410 and the second seat body 420 define the installation cavity 401. The indicating member 300 is provided with a rotating shaft 320 at the center, which can be installed on the indicating member 300 as an independent component, or can be integrally formed on the indicating member 300. The rotating shaft 320 penetrates at least one of the first seat body 410 and the second seat body 420. The indicating member 300 is supported in the installation cavity 401 by the rotating shaft 320, and rotates relative to the base 400 through the rotating shaft 320.
[0038] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 , a first scale 430 is arranged on the base 400, which can be a scale line, a number, a word or the like. The indicating member 300 is provided with a first indicating mark 330, which can be an arrow or the like. The first scale 430 is arranged around the rotation axis of the handle 100. The first indicating mark 330 points to the first scale 430. When the handle 100 rotates, the first scale 430 rotates synchronously with the handle 100, and the first indicating mark 330 always remains at the current position, and the current scale of the first scale 430 pointed by the first indicating mark 330 is the opening size of the valve controlled by the handle 100. Therefore, the user can quickly know the opening size of the angle valve and whether the angle valve is in an open or closed state.
[0039] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes a standard component 500. The standard component 500 is fixed to the valve body 200. When the handle 100 rotates, the standard component 500 remains stationary on the valve body 200, while the handle 100 and the standard component 500 can rotate relative to each other. The standard component 500 has a second scale 510 arranged around the rotation axis of the handle 100. The second scale 510 can be graduations, numbers, text, etc. The base 400 has a second indicator mark 440 pointing to the second scale 510. The second indicator mark 440 can be an arrow, etc. The second indicator mark 440 rotates synchronously with the base 400 and the handle 100. The current graduation on the second scale 510 pointed to by the second indicator mark 440 indicates the opening degree of the valve controlled by the handle 100. This allows the user to quickly determine the opening degree of the angle valve and whether the angle valve is open or closed. Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, after the handle 100, the standard part 500, and the base 400 are installed, the second indicator mark 440 and the second scale 510 can be correctly aligned regardless of the angle at which the valve body is tilted during installation (when the rotation axis of the handle 100 is horizontal).
[0040] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the handle 100 is rotatably fitted onto the valve body 200. Specifically, the handle 100 is fitted onto the valve stem 210 of the valve body 200. One end of the handle 100 has an opening forming a mounting port 110. The standard part 500 is installed inside the handle 100, and the base 400 covers the mounting port 110. The base 400 does not need to be directly connected to the valve body 200; the standard part 500 can be pre-installed on the handle 100. After installation, the base 400 effectively covers the handle 100, and the standard part 500 is sealed inside the handle 100.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the handle 100 comprises an outer cylinder portion 120 and an inner cylinder portion 130 coaxially arranged. The outer cylinder portion 120 and the inner cylinder portion 130 are spaced apart, and a cavity 140 is formed between the outer cylinder portion 120 and the inner cylinder portion 130. The marker 500 is arranged in the cavity 140 and can be fixed on the inner cylinder. The inner cylinder portion 130 is connected with the valve rod 210 of the valve body 200 and is fixed on the valve rod 210. The mounting port 110 is arranged on the end of the outer cylinder portion 120. The inner cylinder portion 130 and the outer cylinder portion 120 are connected through the extension wall 131 extending radially from the partial circumferential wall of the inner cylinder portion 130 to the inner wall of the outer cylinder portion 120. That is, in the axial direction of the handle 100, the extension wall 131 partially shields the cavity 140. After the marker 500 is installed, the extension wall 131 is located between the marker 500 and the base 400. The second scale 510 is staggered with the extension wall 131 in the axial direction of the handle 100. That is, in the axial direction of the handle 100, the second scale 510 can be seen through the position not shielded by the extension wall 131 from the mounting port 110 to the cavity 140.
[0042] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 The indicator 300 is disc-shaped. The eccentric position of the indicator 300 is provided with a boss portion 340 protruding in the axial direction. The boss portion 340 is formed at the center of gravity position of the indicator 300, which deviates from the center position of the indicator 300. The boss portion 340 can be fan-shaped, partially circular, smaller than a semicircle of the disc, etc. The rotation axis of the indicator 300 is horizontally oriented, and the boss portion 340 is below the rotation axis of the indicator 300, so that the center of gravity of the indicator 300 is lower than the height of the rotation axis of the indicator 300. The boss portion 340 can be integrally formed on the indicator 300 or installed on the indicator 300 as an independent component.
