Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air valve technology, and specifically relates to a novel air valve with a simplified structure. Background Technology

[0002] In existing industrial air valve products, the basic structure consists of a square or circular frame with multiple fan blades inside. Driving one of the fan blades causes the entire valve to oscillate. The multiple fan blades are connected by hinges to achieve linkage between them. This type of air valve structure can be referenced in patent publication CN107631081A, which uses a riveted frame to fix the fan blades inside the frame to control airflow.

[0003] The current technical problems are: 1. The frame of this type of air valve is composed of multiple parts, which requires multiple riveting points on the sides during manufacturing. Furthermore, the quadrilateral frame is slow to form, affecting the production schedule; 2. Those skilled in the art have attempted to use a four-sided frame roll forming, but in small-batch production, the cost of making such a mold alone far exceeds the actual profit margin; 3. The sealing structure inside the air valve is simple and has poor sealing effect. How to improve the sealing performance without increasing the manufacturing cost is also a technical problem directly addressed by this technical solution.

[0004] To address the above drawbacks, the technical problems that urgently need to be solved by those skilled in the art are: to improve the structure of the air valve by adopting a profile or sheet metal bending structure and achieving quick connection through screws, thereby improving production efficiency without increasing costs; and to redesign its sealing structure to improve its noise reduction effect without increasing costs and while maintaining a good sealing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, this utility model proposes a new type of air valve, which improves the outer frame structure and sealing structure of the air valve by adopting a four-sided frame combination structure, achieving high assembly efficiency, good assembly strength and silent sealing without increasing manufacturing costs.

[0031] The sealing structure of this utility model is as follows: an L-plate 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side plate 1 by screws, and the elastic sealing sheet 8 is fixed by the L-plate 7. Figure 8 As shown, the elastic sealing sheet 8 includes a fixed edge 81 and a Z-shaped area 82. The elastic sealing sheet 8 is formed by bending an elastic steel sheet. It is fixed to the L plate 7 by pasting or riveting through the fixed edge 81. The Z-shaped area 82 makes elastic compression contact with the fan blade 3. When the fan blade 3 is pressed against the Z-shaped area 82, the left and right sides of the inside of the new type of air valve can be sealed through the rebound compression of the Z-shaped area 82.

[0032] An elastic sheet 6 is provided on the top surface of the sealing support plate 5, and a gap is provided between the elastic sheet 6 and the top surface of the sealing support plate 5; when the bottom of the fan blade 3 is pressed into contact with the top surface of the elastic sheet 6, a seal is achieved.

[0033] Furthermore, a clearance groove 52 is provided on the top surface of the sealing support plate 5, and a buffer pad 53 is provided inside the clearance groove 52. This buffer pad 53 can be connected to the sealing support plate 5 by adhesive bonding. The elastic sheet 6 is located above the buffer pad 53. The elastic sheet 6 has a U-shaped structure, and its left and right sides are glued or riveted to the sealing support plate 5 for fixation. This fixing method is simple and convenient for assembly.

[0034] Furthermore, the top surface of the elastic sheet 6 has an arc-shaped structure, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the thickness in the middle is greater than the thickness on both sides; when the top surface of the elastic sheet is compressed and deformed, the part of the elastic sheet 6 that contacts the fan blade 3 is subjected to force, and the entire middle area of ​​the elastic sheet 6 is pressed down and squeezed with the buffer pad to achieve sealing and noise reduction. After testing and verification, this structure has better noise reduction and sealing effect.

[0035] In summary, the square frame of this utility model is simplified to two side plates 1 and two end plates 2; the side plates 1 are provided with side U-shaped bends 11 and end bends 12, and the end plates are provided with vertical U-shaped bends 21. The above structure can be formed by existing bending equipment, or by purchasing profiles and cutting them; the inner side of the end plates 2 is provided with a sealing support plate 5 and a fan blade 3; the inner side of the side plates 1 is provided with an L-plate 7, which fixes the elastic sealing sheet 8. The part of the elastic sealing sheet 8 that contacts the fan blade 3 has a Z-shaped structure, which has an elastic sealing function.

[0036] An elastic sheet 6 is provided on the top surface of the sealing support plate 5. A gap and a buffer pad 53 are provided between the elastic sheet 6 and the top surface of the sealing support plate 5. When the bottom of the fan blade 3 is pressed and contacted with the top surface of the elastic sheet 6, elastic buffering and noise reduction can be achieved.
