Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve manufacturing technology, specifically relating to an air volume regulating valve, which is suitable for precise control of air volume and is suitable for use in confined spaces. Background Technology
[0002] An air valve, also known as an air volume regulating valve, is a type of duct valve used to regulate the ventilation volume in air ducts. Air valves can be divided into two types: electric and manual. Existing manual air valves have the following structure... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the device includes a valve body 91, a push handle 92, and a baffle plate 93 disposed inside the valve body. Its working principle is that pressing the push handle 92 controls the opening or closing of the baffle plate 93, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the air valve. The above-mentioned prior art has the following problems:
[0003] 1. It can only open and close the air valve, but cannot precisely control the air volume of the air valve.
[0004] 2. The push handle for controlling the air valve switch is too long, which cannot meet the needs of use in confined spaces.
[0005] 3. The flange on the valve body is welded to the valve body as a whole, which makes it impossible to change the installation position when connecting to the cabinet or air duct, resulting in poor installation flexibility.
[0006] 4. The partition is only achieved by a wind deflector, which has poor separation effect and poor sealing effect. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing an airflow regulating valve that can achieve precise airflow control and is suitable for use in confined spaces.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0009] An air volume regulating valve includes a valve body and a partition plate, wherein the partition plate is rotatably disposed inside the valve body via a rotating shaft;
[0010] The air volume regulating valve also includes a mounting base, a turntable, a rotating shaft, and a locking nut. The mounting base is set on one side wall of the valve body. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the side wall of the valve body and the mounting base in sequence and is fixedly connected to the turntable. The other end of the rotating shaft is rotatably engaged with the other side wall of the valve body. The mounting base has a threaded hole, and the turntable has an arc-shaped groove. The screw of the locking nut passes through the arc-shaped groove and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.
[0011] The turntable is used to adjust the opening degree of the partition plate when it rotates, so as to regulate the air volume;
[0012] The locking nut is used to lock the turntable to the mounting base after the air volume is adjusted, so as to fix the turntable.
[0013] The valve body has a first retaining ring and a second retaining ring respectively on the top and bottom outer walls. The air volume regulating valve also includes an upper flange and a lower flange. The upper flange is sleeved on the top of the valve body near the first retaining ring, and the lower flange is sleeved on the bottom of the valve body near the second retaining ring.
[0014] Both sides of the upper flange and both sides of the lower flange are provided with cut edges.
[0015] The partition plate is provided with a silicone sealing ring around its perimeter.
[0016] The mounting base includes a cylindrical body and a conical body. One end of the cylindrical body is fixedly connected to one side wall of the valve body, and the other end of the cylindrical body is fixedly connected to the small-diameter end of the conical body.
