[0042] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0043] Figures 1-5 This diagram illustrates the structure of an automatic check valve for an inlet 120 according to an embodiment of this application. Figures 1-5 As shown, the check valve may include:

[0044] The housing 100 is mounted on the pipe 400. The housing 100 has a conveying space 110 inside, which is connected to the water conveying chamber 410 of the pipe 400. The housing 100 also has a water inlet 120.

[0045] The float valve 200 has a first state and a second state. When the float valve 200 is in the first state, it is located at the bottom of the conveying space 110. When the float valve 200 is in the second state, it is located at the top of the conveying space 110 and is in contact with the inlet 120.

[0046] The limiting element 300 is installed on the housing 100 and located within the conveying space 110. The float valve 200 is installed on the limiting element 300.

[0047] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the float valve 200 is located at the lower position of the conveying space 110. When the water level in the pipe 400 rises, under the action of buoyancy, the float valve 200 moves along the limiting member 300 to the higher position of the conveying space 110 of the housing 100, and the inlet 120 is blocked by the float valve 200 to prevent the water level in the pipe 400 from rising and causing water to overflow through the inlet 120.

[0048] By setting the float valve 200, when there is a lot of water in the water delivery chamber 410 in the pipe 400, the float valve 200 floats along the limiting member 300 to a higher position in the delivery space 110 of the housing 100 under the action of buoyancy. Then, the float valve 200 blocks the water inlet 120, preventing the water in the pipe 400 from overflowing through the water inlet 120 and also preventing the water in the pipe 400 from being discharged through the water inlet 120, causing backflow.

[0049] Specifically, the first state of the float valve 200 is when the water level in the pipeline 400 is normal. At this time, the float valve 200 is located at the lower position of the conveying space 110 of the housing 100.

[0050] The second state of the float valve 200 is when the water level in the pipe 400 is too high. At this time, the float valve 200 blocks the inlet 120 under the buoyancy of the water in the pipe 400.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment,

[0052] The area of ​​the top view section of the float valve 200 is smaller than the area of ​​the top view section of the conveying space 110.

[0053] In this embodiment, the top view area of ​​the float valve 200 is smaller than that of the top view area of ​​the conveying space 110, and their shapes are adapted to each other so as to ensure that when the float valve 200 moves in the conveying space 110, the side of the float valve 200 facing the inlet 120 fits against the housing 100, ensuring that the float valve 200 seals the inlet 120.

[0054] Furthermore, when the float valve 200 is in the second state, the float valve 200 blocks the inlet 120.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment,

[0056] The main view cross-sectional area of ​​float valve 200 is equal to the main view cross-sectional area of ​​conveying space 110.

[0057] In this embodiment, the main view cross-sectional area of ​​the float valve 200 is equal to the main view cross-sectional area of ​​the conveying space 110, so as to ensure that both sides of the float valve 200 fit with the outer shell 110, thereby preventing the float valve 200 from shaking in the conveying space 110.

[0058] like Figures 2-3 As shown, in one embodiment,

[0059] The float valve 200 has a movable cavity 210 adapted to the limiting member 300, with the end of the limiting member 300 away from the pipeline 400 located in the movable cavity 210.

[0060] In this embodiment, the floating distance of the float valve 200 is limited by the setting of the movable cavity 210, so as to avoid the float valve 200 rising too high, causing the water inlet 120 to leak from the bottom of the float valve 200.

[0061] like Figures 2-3 As shown, in one embodiment,

[0062] Limiting component 300 includes:

[0063] A fixing rod 310 is disposed inside the housing 100, with one end of the fixing rod 310 away from the housing 100 located inside the movable cavity 210;

[0064] The limiting plate 320 is located inside the movable cavity 210 and is set on the end of the fixed rod 310 away from the housing 100.

[0065] In this embodiment, the float valve 200 moves along the fixed rod 310. At least one fixed rod 310 is provided, and the preferred number of fixed rods 310 is two, so as to prevent the float valve 200 from rotating under the impact of water flow.

[0066] The limiting plate 320 and the fixed rod 310 are arranged in a "T" shape. When the float valve 200 is in the first state, the limiting plate 320 is located at the top of the movable cavity 210. When the float valve 200 is in the second state, the limiting plate 320 is located at the bottom of the movable cavity 210. By setting the limiting plate 320, the movement trajectory of the float valve 200 is limited, thereby ensuring that when the float valve 200 floats up, it will block the water inlet 120.

[0067] Specifically, the bottom of the fixing rod 310 is set inside the housing 100 by a bracket. The bracket is formed by welding several iron rods and has holes for water supply to ensure that the water supplied by the inlet 120 enters the pipe and the water in the pipe can also enter the delivery space 110 through the bracket.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, specifically,

[0069] The float valve 200 has a through hole 220, which is connected to the movable cavity 210. The size of the through hole 220 is adapted to the size of the fixed rod 310.

[0070] The through hole 220 ensures that the float valve 200 moves along the fixed rod 310;

[0071] It should be noted that the through hole 220 is located at the bottom of the float valve 200 and is used in conjunction with the fixing rod 310. The fixing rod 310 blocks the through hole 220, thereby reducing the water flow into the float valve 200 and ensuring the normal floating of the float valve 200.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment,

[0073] The dimensions of the limiting plate 320 are adapted to the dimensions of the movable cavity 210, and the dimensions of the limiting plate 320 are larger than the dimensions of the through hole 220.

[0074] In this embodiment, the size of the limiting plate 320 is larger than the size of the through hole 220 to ensure that the limiting plate 320 is actually located in the movable cavity 210 and to prevent the float valve 200 from falling off the fixed rod 310.

[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, it further includes:

[0076] The cover 500 is detachably mounted on the housing 100.

[0077] In this embodiment, the cover 500 is detachable to facilitate the opening and closing of the housing 100, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the float valve 200 inside the housing 100.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, it further includes:

[0079] Water inlet pipe 600 is connected to water inlet 120.

[0080] In this embodiment, the inlet 120 is connected to the inlet pipe 600, so that external water can enter the pipe 400 through the inlet 120.

[0081] The functions of each module in each device of this utility model embodiment can be found in the corresponding description in the above method, and will not be repeated here.

[0082] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application.
