Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reversing valve technology, specifically a reversing valve device for powder materials. Background Technology

[0002] A directional control valve is a valve with two or more flow patterns and two or more ports; it is used to control the flow of hydraulic oil, including opening, closing, and reversing, as well as pressure unloading and sequential action control; it is a directional control valve that relies on the relative movement of the valve core and valve body. There are two types: rotary valve and spool valve.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN220185908U, published on December 15, 2023, discloses a powder reversing valve, specifically a novel powder reversing valve. It includes a housing assembly, a pipe assembly, and a valve body assembly. The three pipe assemblies are bolted to the outside of the housing assembly, while the valve body assembly is mounted inside the housing assembly via bearings. The pipe assembly includes a pipe body, a heating jacket, and a flange. The flange is integrally formed at the bottom of the pipe body, and the heating jacket is bolted to the outer wall of the pipe body. The housing assembly includes two housings, one of which has an integrally formed base on one outer wall. The heating jacket of this utility model activates when the valve is used for material conveying, heating the pipe body and thus the powder. This heats the powder, causing it to dry out if it is stuck together due to high moisture content, and then pulverize it under conveying pressure. This facilitates the passage of the powder through the reversing valve. The electric roller is then activated, causing the synchronous belt to rotate, carrying the powder within the housing and reducing the likelihood of powder blockage.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned disclosed solutions have the following shortcomings: In the existing technology of reversing valves for powder use, the cross-sectional area of ​​the channel inside the reversing valve is much different from that of the pipeline channel. As a result, when the powder passes through the reversing valve, the change in cross-sectional area causes the speed to increase, impacting the reversing valve and causing it to be subjected to greater vibration and wear. This makes it easy for the powder to fill the gaps and cause blockage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem of existing directional valves used for powder applications, where the cross-sectional area of ​​the internal channel of the directional valve differs greatly from that of the pipeline. This difference causes the powder to increase its speed when passing through the directional valve due to the change in cross-sectional area, resulting in greater impact on the directional valve and causing it to be subjected to greater vibration and wear. Consequently, the directional valve is prone to clogging due to the filling of gaps with powder. The invention provides a directional valve device for powder applications.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution;

[0007] The present invention discloses a reversing valve device for powder materials, comprising a central pipe connecting multiple inlet and outlet pipes; a plug is rotatably connected to an opening in the central pipe; a sealing cover is rotatably sleeved on the plug; a passage groove is provided on the plug connecting two inlet and outlet pipes; a quadrangular prism is fixedly connected to the plug; a force-applying handle is sleeved on the quadrangular prism; and limit indicator grooves are provided on the sealing cover at two passage switches corresponding to the force-applying handle.

[0008] Furthermore, a bearing is provided between the plunger and the shroud to reduce rotational friction.

[0009] Furthermore, a second fastener is threadedly connected to the upper end of the quadrangular prism; a limiting seat is sleeved on the second fastener.

[0010] The reversing valve device for powder applications provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. This utility model connects multiple inlet and outlet pipes to externally transport powder materials. When it is necessary to switch the transport pipe, the force handle is held to move the four-sided prism and the plug from one end of the limit indicator groove to the other end, so that the passage groove rotates from the pipe connected to one side to the pipe connected to the other side, thereby realizing the switching of the pipe. Since the plug is cylindrical, it can achieve high-precision tangency of the central pipe and realize the function of switching the pipe with the shortest distance. Moreover, the cylindrical surface has few dead corners and will not hinder the rotation of the plug.

[0012] 2. This utility model reduces the rotational resistance of the plunger by using bearings, thereby achieving higher precision in rotational connection and preventing powder penetration; the limiting seat restricts the movement of the force-applying handle on the quadrangular prism, thus preventing the possibility of disengagement when rotating the force-applying handle.

[0022] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up-down-left-right-forward-backward...) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. The connection can be a direct connection or an indirect connection.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a reversing valve device for powder includes a central pipe 1 connecting multiple inlet and outlet pipes 2; a plug 6 is rotatably connected to an opening in the central pipe 1; a sealing cover 5 is rotatably sleeved on the plug 6; a passage groove 7 is opened on the plug 6 connecting two inlet and outlet pipes 2; a quadrangular prism 8 is fixedly connected to the plug 6; a force-applying handle 12 is sleeved on the quadrangular prism 8; and limit indicator grooves 14 are opened on the sealing cover 5 at two passage switches corresponding to the force-applying handle 12. By connecting multiple inlet and outlet pipes 2 to external pipes for conveying powder, when it is necessary to switch the conveying pipe, the force-applying handle 12 is held to move the quadrangular prism 8 and the plug 6 from one end of the limit indicator groove 14 to the other end, so that the passage groove 7 rotates from the pipe connected to one side to the pipe connected to the other side, thereby realizing the switching of the pipe. Since the plug 6 is cylindrical, it can achieve high-precision tangency to the central pipe 1 and realize the function of switching the pipe by moving the shortest distance. Moreover, the cylindrical surface has few dead angles and will not hinder the rotation of the plug 6.

[0024] A bearing 9 is provided between the plunger 6 and the enclosure 5 to reduce rotational friction. The bearing 9 reduces the rotational resistance of the plunger 6, thereby achieving higher precision rotational connection and preventing powder penetration.

[0025] The upper end of the quadrangular prism 8 is threaded with a second fastener 10; a limiting seat 11 is sleeved on the second fastener 10, which restricts the movement of the force-applying handle 12 on the quadrangular prism 8, so that it will not disengage when the force-applying handle 12 is rotated.

[0026] The end of the lever 12 has an opening into which a handle 13 is inserted. By gripping the handle 13, the lever can be rotated, making it more comfortable and effortless, and allowing for faster switching of the powder movement direction.

[0027] A flange 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the inlet / outlet pipe 2; the flange 3 has multiple through holes for connecting and fixing the powder pipe. By using fasteners through the through holes, the powder pipe can be sealed and connected to the inlet / outlet pipe 2 through the flange 3.

[0028] Multiple first fasteners 4 are inserted into the openings on the enclosure 5; the first fasteners 4 are threaded to both sides of the central tube 1, and the central tube 1 and the enclosure 5 are connected by the first fasteners 4, so that the connection strength of the enclosure 5 is higher and the sealing performance is better.
