[0028] Check valve, also known as back check valve, its function is to prevent the medium in the pipeline backflow. The opening and closing member is opened or closed by the medium flow and force to prevent the medium backflow. Check valve belongs to automatic valve, mainly used in the pipeline of the medium unidirectional flow, only allows the medium to flow in one direction, to prevent accidents. This kind of valve should be installed horizontally in the pipeline.
[0029] In the related art, the valve disc of the check valve will quickly close when suddenly subjected to a larger reverse pressure from the liquid, which will generate a larger impact force on the valve body and produce noise. Long-term use will accelerate the damage speed of the valve disc and the valve body, reducing the service life of the check valve.
[0030] Based on this, to improve the problems in the related art, the embodiments of the present application provide the following solutions.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The embodiments of the present application provide a low-noise slow-closing check valve, which comprises a valve body 1, a plugging mechanism, a water inlet pipe 3, a water outlet pipe 4 and a buffer mechanism. The valve body 1 is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet pipe 3 communicates with the valve body 1 through the water inlet, and the water outlet pipe 4 communicates with the valve body 1 through the water outlet. The plugging mechanism is arranged in the valve body 1 and is used for plugging the water inlet pipe 3. The buffer mechanism comprises an outer shell 51, a piston rod 52, a piston sheet 53 and a communication pipe 54. The outer shell 51 is provided with a first connecting port, and the water inlet pipe 3 is provided with a second connecting port. One end of the communication pipe 54 communicates with the outer shell 51 through the first connecting port, and the other end of the communication pipe 54 communicates with the water inlet pipe 3 through the second connecting port. The piston sheet 53 is slidably connected in the outer shell 51, the piston rod 52 is connected with the piston sheet 53 through the outer shell 51, and the end of the piston rod 52 away from the piston sheet 53 abuts against the plugging mechanism.
[0032] From the above, the low-noise slow-closing check valve provided by the embodiment of the application is provided with a buffer mechanism, when liquid enters the valve body 1 through the water inlet pipe 3, part of the liquid flows into the buffer mechanism through the connecting pipe 54, the piston rod 52 is pushed to move into the valve body 1 under the action of the liquid pressure, the blocking mechanism is opened under the joint action of the water pressure of the water inlet pipe 3 and the pushing force of the piston rod 52, the check valve is in an open state, the liquid flows into the check valve and flows out through the water outlet pipe 4; when the liquid pressure decreases or backflows, the blocking mechanism is closed under the action of the reverse liquid pressure and its own gravity, the blocking mechanism will first contact the piston rod 52 extending from the buffer mechanism, and the liquid in the buffer mechanism is extruded out of the buffer mechanism through the connecting pipe 54 by the working of the piston sheet 53 on the liquid in the buffer mechanism, in this process, the buffer mechanism slows down the closing speed of the blocking mechanism, plays a role of slow closing of the blocking mechanism, and can protect the blocking mechanism and the valve body 1.
[0033] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the buffer mechanism further comprises a pull rod 55, a sealing ring 56 and a handle 57, a through hole is formed in the end of the shell 51 away from the blocking mechanism, the sealing ring 56 is clamped on the through hole, the pull rod 55 passes through the sealing ring 56 and is connected with the piston sheet 53, and the handle 57 is arranged on the end of the pull rod 55 away from the piston sheet 53.
[0034] In this way, when the blocking mechanism is closed, if the blocking mechanism cannot be normally closed due to insufficient reverse liquid pressure or blockage of foreign matters in the buffer mechanism, the piston rod 52 can be manually pulled back by the pull rod 55 with the help of human force to make the blocking mechanism closed, the sealing ring 56 is used to prevent liquid from leaking from the gap between the pull rod 55 and the shell 51, and the handle 57 is used to more conveniently pull the pull rod 55.
[0035] Optionally, in some embodiments, referring to 4, the buffer mechanism further comprises a limiting ring 58, and the limiting ring 58 is arranged in the shell 51.
[0036] In this way, the probability that the piston sheet 53 moves to abut against the sealing ring 56 to make the piston sheet 53 block the first connecting port can be reduced.
[0037] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the blocking mechanism comprises a blocking plate 21, a connecting rod 22, a rotating shaft 23 and a rotating ring 24, the rotating ring 24 is arranged in the valve body 1 and connected with the inner wall of the valve body 1, one end of the connecting rod 22 is connected with the rotating shaft 23, the other end of the connecting rod 22 is connected with the blocking plate 21, the blocking plate 21 blocks the end of the water inlet pipe 3 in the valve body 1, and the rotating shaft 23 is rotationally connected with the rotating ring 24.
[0038] Thus, when the check valve is opened due to water pressure, the blocking plate 21 can drive the connecting rod 22 to rotate around the rotating shaft 23, and the liquid can enter the valve body 1 through the water inlet pipe 3. When the check valve is closed, the blocking plate 21 drives the connecting rod 22 to rotate around the rotating shaft 23 under the action of the reverse pressure of the liquid and its own gravity, blocks the water inlet pipe 3, and prevents the liquid from flowing back.
[0039] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the side of the blocking plate 21 close to the water inlet pipe 3 is provided with a buffer gasket 211.
[0040] Thus, when the blocking plate 21 is suddenly closed under a large reverse pressure, the buffer gasket 211 can buffer the impact force when the blocking plate 21 contacts the water inlet pipe 3, thereby protecting the blocking plate 21 and the pipe opening of the water inlet pipe 3. Meanwhile, the buffer gasket 211 can effectively reduce the noise generated when the blocking plate 21 collides with the water inlet pipe 3, thereby achieving a mute effect.
[0041] Optionally, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the valve body 1 is further movably connected with an observation cover 11.
[0042] Thus, when the check valve needs to be repaired or fails after long-term use, the observation cover 11 can be opened to observe the internal condition of the check valve, and the internal maintenance work of the check valve can be performed.
[0043] Optionally, referring to Figures 1 to 2 , the end of the water inlet pipe 3 away from the valve body 1 and the end of the water outlet pipe 4 away from the valve body 1 are both provided with a flange plate 6.
[0044] Thus, the flange plate 6 facilitates the connection and disassembly of the check valve and the external pipeline.
[0045] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
