Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water-steam linkage valves, and in particular to a water-steam linkage valve with a protective housing. Background Technology
[0002] A water-gas interlock valve, also known as a water-gas interlock device, includes a water control device and a gas control device. Its main components include: an air inlet, a pressure relief valve stem, a water temperature regulating valve, a micro switch, a fire control valve, a solenoid valve, and an air inlet. The function of the water-gas interlock device is to ensure that the gas control valve opens only when the water pressure is sufficient and flowing into the heat exchanger; and to automatically cut off the gas supply when the water flow stops or the pressure is insufficient, preventing damage to the equipment due to water shortage.
[0003] For example, patent CN211562051 U discloses a water-gas linkage device for a gas water heater, including a gas valve body assembly, a water valve assembly, a linkage valve assembly, and a micro switch assembly. It also includes a water inlet cover with a guide hole communicating with the inner cavity of the water inlet cover. One end of the linkage valve assembly is provided with a flange connected to the gas valve body, and the other end is provided with an inner countersunk hole. The linkage valve assembly has an axial guide hole along the axial direction on its wall and a pin guide hole inside the linkage valve assembly. A micro switch seat is provided on the outer wall of the inner countersunk hole. The driving component includes a seat and a driving rod, which passes through the axial guide hole and cooperates with the micro switch. The connector of the water inlet cover is inserted into the inner countersunk hole, and the end of the screw extends into the annular fastening groove.
[0004] The problem with the above technology is that a micro switch base is installed on the outer wall of the inner countersunk hole of the water-vapor linkage device. The micro switch is installed on the micro switch base. The micro switch is a contact mechanism with a small contact interval and a quick-acting mechanism. It performs switching action with a specified stroke and a specified force. The drive rod passes through the axial guide hole and cooperates with the micro switch. Because the contact interval of the switch is relatively small, the micro switch is easily affected by external impacts due to its high sensitivity.
[0005] To address this issue, a water-vapor linkage valve with a protective housing is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water-gas linkage valve with a protective shell, which can prevent accidental contact and improve the sensitivity of the micro switch.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a mounting bracket is provided between the gas valve assembly and the water valve assembly, and the housing is mounted on the mounting bracket.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the mounting bracket extends downward with a side plate, which surrounds the housing.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the gas valve assembly includes a gas valve body, on which an inlet and an outlet are provided, and a venting chamber communicating with the inlet and outlet are also provided. The water valve assembly includes a water valve body, on which a water inlet and an outlet are provided, and a water passage chamber communicating with the inlet and outlet are also provided. The linkage valve assembly includes a linkage rod, with both ends of the linkage rod passing through the venting chamber and the water passage chamber, respectively. An internal blockage is provided, and a spring is installed between the blockage and the vent chamber. The blockage is used to disconnect the vent chamber from the air outlet. The end of the linkage rod is connected to the inner end of the blockage. A rubber water diaphragm is dynamically sealed inside the water passage chamber, and the other end of the linkage rod is connected to the inner end of the rubber water diaphragm. A downward-opening through groove is provided between the gas valve body and the water valve body. The middle part of the linkage rod passes through the through groove, and a switch rod is connected to the middle part of the linkage rod. The switch rod is connected to a micro switch.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a mounting base is fixedly installed inside the water passage cavity, a connecting rod is provided at the outer end of the rubber water diaphragm, and a spring is provided between the connecting rod and the mounting base.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a pressure relief valve is provided at the water inlet.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5A water-gas linkage valve with a protective housing includes a gas valve assembly 1, a water valve assembly 2, and a linkage valve assembly 3. The linkage valve assembly 3 is connected to the gas valve assembly 1 and the water valve assembly 2. A housing 4 is provided on the outer end of the linkage valve assembly 3. A micro switch (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the housing 4. The micro switch is connected to the linkage valve assembly 3.
[0027] The housing 4 prevents accidental contact with the microswitch by the user, while also increasing the stability and sensitivity of the microswitch.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting bracket 5 is provided between the gas valve assembly 1 and the water valve assembly 2 to facilitate the installation of the housing 4, and the housing 4 is mounted on the mounting bracket 5.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting bracket 5 extends downward with a side plate 51, which surrounds the housing 4. The side plate 51 can insulate against temperature, preventing the micro switch inside the housing 4 from being affected by external temperature and thus damaging the micro switch.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the gas valve assembly 1 includes a gas valve body 11, which is provided with an air inlet 12 and an air outlet 13. The gas valve body 11 is also provided with a ventilation chamber 14 communicating with the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13. The water valve assembly 2 includes a water valve body 21, which is provided with a water inlet 22 and a water outlet 23. The water valve body 21 is also provided with a water passage cavity 24 communicating with the water inlet 22 and the water outlet 23.
[0031] The linkage valve assembly 3 includes a linkage rod 31, with its two ends passing through the vent chamber 14 and the water passage chamber 24, respectively. A plug 32 is provided in the vent chamber 14, and a spring is provided between the plug 32 and the vent chamber 14. The plug 32 is used to disconnect the connection between the vent chamber 14 and the air outlet 13. The end of the linkage rod 31 is connected to the inner end of the plug 32. A rubber water diaphragm 33 is dynamically sealed in the water passage chamber 24, and the other end of the linkage rod 31 is connected to the inner end of the rubber water diaphragm 33.
[0032] A downward-opening through groove 6 is provided between the gas valve body 11 and the water valve body 21. The middle part of the linkage rod 31 passes through the through groove 6. A switch rod 34 is connected to the middle part of the linkage rod 31. The switch rod 34 is connected to a micro switch.
[0033] When in use, water flows into the water passage chamber 24 from the inlet 22 and out from the outlet 13. At this time, the pressure in the water passage chamber 24 increases, which can push the rubber water diaphragm 33 to move, thereby driving the linkage rod 31 to move, causing the switch rod 34 to move and open the micro switch. At this time, the blockage 32 will also move with the linkage rod 31, so that the vent chamber 14 is connected to the vent outlet 13. The gas can enter the vent chamber 14 from the inlet 12 and be discharged from the vent outlet 13. The spring can reset the linkage rod 31.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting base 35 is fixedly installed inside the water passage cavity 24, and a connecting rod 36 is provided at the outer end of the rubber water diaphragm 33. A spring is provided between the connecting rod 36 and the mounting base 35. When the water pressure in the water passage cavity 24 is less than the spring force, the spring can reset the rubber water diaphragm 33, thereby resetting the linkage rod 31 and causing the blockage 32 to disconnect the connection between the vent chamber 14 and the air outlet 13.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, a pressure relief valve 7 is provided at the water inlet 22. The pressure relief valve 7 can prevent excessive pressure from the water inlet 22 flowing into the water passage chamber 24, which could cause the pipeline to collapse.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, an electromagnetic valve 8 is provided at the air inlet 12, which can control the amount of gas entering the ventilation chamber 14.
[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
