Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pneumatic regulating valves, and in particular to a foot-operated pneumatic regulating valve. Background Technology

[0002] The operation of a pneumatic control valve in conjunction with a foot-operated pneumatic valve generally includes the following steps: 1. Preparation: Ensure the air supply system is functioning normally and the foot-operated pneumatic valve is in the closed position; 2. Foot operation: Gently press the foot pedal of the foot-operated pneumatic valve. The pneumatic signal will be triggered, causing the high-flow pneumatic control valve to open and the medium to begin flowing. Release the foot pedal, the pneumatic signal will disappear, and the high-flow pneumatic control valve will gradually close; 3. Flow regulation: By controlling the pressure and duration of the foot pedal press, the opening degree of the high-flow pneumatic control valve can be adjusted, thereby achieving precise control of the medium flow rate. The greater the pressure applied and the longer the opening time, the greater the flow rate; conversely, the smaller the flow rate; 4. Stop operation: When it is necessary to stop the flow of the medium, completely release the foot pedal of the foot-operated pneumatic valve. The high-flow pneumatic control valve will close, and the medium flow will stop.

[0003] Existing foot-operated pneumatic control valves typically consist of a foot pedal, a pneumatic pilot valve, and a high-flow-rate pneumatic control valve. The operator triggers a pneumatic signal by pressing the foot pedal, which in turn controls the opening of the main valve, thereby regulating the flow rate of the medium.

[0004] However, since the travel and force of the foot pedal depend entirely on the operator's foot control, different operators' pedaling habits or fatigue levels may cause flow fluctuations, affecting process stability. Traditional foot valves typically use a spring-return structure for the pedal, but lack mechanical limits on the pedal rotation angle, making it difficult to precisely control the flow regulation range, especially in applications requiring constant flow. During prolonged operation, operator fatigue or distraction may lead to uneven pedaling force, further affecting the stable delivery of the medium. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foot-operated pneumatic regulating valve to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0010] Preferably, the foot-operated pneumatic valve body includes:

[0011] The valve body has a valve core inside, which slides within the valve body and changes the air passage opening or flow rate by displacement.

[0012] A foot pedal, one end of which is hinged to the valve body;

[0013] A support mechanism, wherein the support mechanism is respectively connected to both sides of the bottom of the foot pedal;

[0014] A limiting mechanism is inserted and installed at the bottom of the valve body, and the limiting mechanism is positioned corresponding to the support mechanism.

[0015] Preferably, the support mechanism includes:

[0016] A support arm, one end of which is rotatably connected to a pivot, the pivot being fixedly mounted on the foot pedal;

[0017] The counterweight foot is fixedly connected to the other end of the support arm.

[0018] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes:

[0019] The first limiting frame is slidably inserted into the bottom of the valve body;

[0020] The mounting base is connected to the bottom of the first limiting frame, and the mounting base has an internal cavity.

[0022] Preferably, the elastic positioning component includes:

[0023] The pressing plate is slidably inserted into the bottom of the mounting base;

[0024] An insert positioning cylinder is installed on the top of the pressing plate, and the insert positioning cylinder is slidably inserted into the mounting base;

[0030] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

This limits the rotation angle of the foot pedal, making the output of the pneumatic signal more stable, thereby reducing flow fluctuations and making the operation of the cylinder on the pneumatic regulating valve body more stable.

[0039] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-6 The illustrated foot-operated pneumatic control valve includes: a pneumatic control valve body 1; a pipe 2, one end of which is connected to a cylinder on the pneumatic control valve body 1; and a foot-operated pneumatic valve body 3, which is connected to the other end of the pipe 2. By stepping on the foot-operated pneumatic valve body 3, the flow of air inside the cylinder on the pneumatic control valve body 1 can be controlled.

[0041] The foot-operated pneumatic valve body 3 includes: a valve body 31, with a valve core inside the valve body 31 that slides within the valve body 31, changing the air passage opening or flow rate through displacement; a foot pedal 32, one end of which is hinged to the valve body 31, with a first torsion spring at the hinge point for facilitating the return support of the foot pedal 32; a support mechanism 33, which is connected to both sides of the bottom of the foot pedal 32; and a limiting mechanism 34, which is inserted into the bottom of the valve body 31, with the limiting mechanism 34 corresponding to the position of the support mechanism 33. When the user operates the foot pedal 32... When the foot pedal 32 is stepped on, the fixed-axis rotation of the foot pedal 32 will drive the movement of the support mechanism 33. The limiting mechanism 34 will block the sliding of the bottom of the support mechanism 33 to prevent the foot pedal 32 from continuing to rotate. This limits the rotation angle of the foot pedal 32 that can be stepped on, making the output of the pneumatic signal more stable and reducing flow fluctuations. The opening of multiple mounting slots 311 allows for adjustment of the insertion position of the limiting mechanism 34 relative to the valve body 31, realizing multi-level adjustable limiting of the support mechanism 33. This allows the operator to control the pedal stroke more precisely, thereby accurately adjusting the opening of the pneumatic valve to meet different flow requirements.

[0042] The support mechanism 33 includes: a support arm 331, one end of which is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, which is fixedly mounted on the foot pedal 32; and a counterweight foot post 332, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the support arm 331. The counterweight foot post 332 slides on the bottom of the valve body 31. The support arm 331 is inclined relative to the foot pedal 32. The support arm 331 facilitates the support of the foot pedal 32. When the limiting mechanism 34 holds the counterweight foot post 332, the rotation angle of the foot pedal 32 is limited.

[0043] Specifically, the limiting mechanism 34 includes: a first limiting frame 341, which is slidably inserted into the bottom of the valve body 31; a mounting base 342, which is connected to the bottom of the first limiting frame 341 and has an internal cavity; and an elastic positioning component 343, which is symmetrically inserted into both sides of the mounting base 342. The elastic positioning component 343 includes: a pressing plate 3431, which is slidably inserted into the bottom of the mounting base 342; an insertion positioning cylinder 3432, which is installed on the top of the pressing plate 3431 and is slidably inserted into the mounting base 342; and a spring 3433, which is connected to the side of the pressing plate 3431 away from the insertion positioning cylinder 3432 and provides elastic support for the pressing plate 3431. The bottom of the valve body 31 has multiple mounting grooves 311. A limiting mechanism 34 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the mounting groove 311. Positioning holes are provided on both inner walls of the mounting groove 311, and a positioning cylinder 3432 is inserted and cooperates with the inner cavity of the positioning hole. The T-shaped design of the mounting groove 311 facilitates limiting the sliding of the mounting seat 342, preventing excessive upward sliding. The cooperation between the positioning cylinder 3432 and the inner cavity of the positioning hole facilitates limiting the position of the mounting seat 342, ensuring stable installation of the mounting seat 342 within the mounting groove 311 and guaranteeing the stability of the first limiting frame 341. The first limiting frame 341 relative to the bottom of the valve body 31... The prominent design facilitates the blocking and limiting of the counterweight foot column 332 sliding at the bottom of the valve body 31, preventing excessive rotation of the foot pedal 32 and ensuring that the foot pedal 32 can be stably maintained at a fixed angle. The compression deformation of the spring 3433 facilitates the elastic support of the pressing plate 3431, making the insertion and positioning of the insertion positioning cylinder 3432 and the positioning hole more stable. By relatively pressing the two pressing plates 3431, the pressing plates 3431 slide towards the mounting base 342, allowing the insertion positioning cylinder 3432 to retract into the mounting base 342, thereby unlocking the position of the mounting base 342 and allowing for position adjustment after the limit mechanism 34 is disassembled.

[0044] The foot-operated pneumatic valve body 3 further includes: a rotating bracket 35, which is rotatably mounted in the middle of the foot pedal 32; and a second limiting bracket 36, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the valve body 31 and corresponds to the position of the rotating bracket 35. A second torsion spring is provided at the hinge between the rotating bracket 35 and the foot pedal 32. The torsional force provided by the second torsion spring on the rotating bracket 35 allows the bottom of the rotating bracket 35 to abut against the second limiting bracket 36. This allows the rotating bracket 35 to support the foot pedal 32 when no foot is stepping on it, preventing the foot pedal 32 from rotating arbitrarily and making the initial position of the foot pedal 32 more stable. When a foot is stepping on it, the foot will first step on the rotating bracket 35, causing the rotating bracket 35 to rotate and retract to the inside of the foot pedal 32 before the foot pedal 32 rotates.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
