[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a quantitative dispensing valve assembly, including an inlet pipe 1, a valve cap 2, a valve body 3, and a connecting component 4. The inlet pipe 1 has a main channel 11 along its length direction and several branch channels 12 communicating with the main channel 11 along its height direction. The branch channels 12 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the inlet pipe 1. Both the main channel 11 and the branch channels 12 are cylindrical hollow structures. The central axis of the main channel 11 and the central axis of the branch channels 12 are perpendicular to each other and are in parallel. The valve cap 2 is attached to the wall of the inlet pipe 1 at one end, and extends through the branch channel 12 to the other side of the inlet pipe 1 and is detachably connected to the valve body 3. The connecting component 4 is located inside the valve body 3. The valve cap 2 has an inlet hole 21 that connects the interior of the valve body 3 with the branch channel 12. The valve body 3 has an outlet hole 31 that connects with the interior of the valve body 3. The connecting component 4 is used to connect the outlet hole 31 and the inlet hole 21.
[0024] In this distribution valve, the inlet can be connected to an external fluid input source, and the outlet can be connected to an external structure that requires fluid output. Fluid enters the valve body 3 through the inlet and flows out through the outlet 31. The main channel 11 is the primary flow path for the fluid and typically has a large cross-sectional area; the main flow rate passes through the main channel 11. The branch channel 12 extends from the main channel 11 and is used to distribute the flow or direct the fluid in different directions. In this application, the valve body 3 and valve cap 2 can be directly connected and fixed, simplifying the installation process, enabling rapid assembly, and improving assembly efficiency. When one of the regulating valves malfunctions and needs repair or replacement, the valve cap 2 can also be directly disassembled.
[0025] Preferably, one end of the valve cap 2 is formed as a nut 22, and the other end is formed as an external thread. The nut 22 is snapped onto the wall of the inlet pipe 1, and the other end is threaded to the valve body 3 through the external thread.
[0026] In some embodiments of this utility model, a flow guide groove 23 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the valve cap 2, and the liquid inlet 21 is opened on the bottom surface of the flow guide groove 23. The diameter of the main channel 11 is larger than the diameter of the bottom surface of the flow guide groove 23 and smaller than the diameter of the branch channel 12. In this embodiment, the fluid in the main channel 11 can be distributed to each branch channel 12 through the flow guide groove 23, and then enter the valve body 3 through the liquid inlet 21 in each channel.
[0027] In some embodiments of this invention, the central axis of the inlet hole 21 is perpendicular to and intersects the central axis of the main channel 11. When the central axis of the inlet hole 21 overlaps with the central axis of the main channel 11, the upstream distribution valve receives more flow due to the higher initial pressure of the main channel 11, leading to a decrease in flow to the downstream valve. The inlet hole 21 in the flow direction experiences turbulence and eddies due to high-speed fluid impact, causing pressure fluctuations and even cavitation. However, when the central axis of the inlet hole 21 is perpendicular to the central axis of the main channel 11, it disperses pressure, resulting in a more uniform flow distribution across the valves. It also reduces the velocity gradient of the inlet hole 21, decreasing turbulence formation, improving flow stability, allowing the fluid to enter at a smaller angle, reducing energy loss, and improving system efficiency. Therefore, this embodiment promotes a more uniform distribution of fluid momentum within the main channel 11, ensuring consistent flow across all branches.
[0028] In some embodiments of this utility model, the conducting component 4 includes an elastic member 41, a small pressure bead 42, a large pressure bead 43, and a striking pin 44. The large pressure bead 43 has a first flow channel 431. The diameter of the small pressure bead 42 is smaller than the diameter of the large pressure bead 43 but larger than the diameter of the first flow channel 431. A second flow channel 32 is formed inside the valve body 3. The elastic member 41 is used to drive the small pressure bead 42 to block the first flow channel 431 and to drive the large pressure bead 43 to block the second flow channel 32. The striking pin 44 includes a top 441, a middle 442, and a tail arranged sequentially. 443, the top 441 is housed within the first flow channel 431 and forms a first gap with the first flow channel 431, the middle part 442 is housed within the second flow channel 32 and forms a second gap with the second flow channel 32, a gap is maintained between the middle part 442 and the large pressure bead 43, the tail 443 extends outside the valve body 3, the tail 443 is used to input power to drive the top 441 to first push open the small pressure bead 42 to open the first flow channel 431, and then drive the middle part 442 to push open the large pressure bead 43 to open the second flow channel 32.
[0029] The distribution valve is equipped with a sealing structure that controls the flow of fluid. When the sealing structure needs to be opened to allow the fluid to flow, the fluid itself will exert a large pressure on the sealing structure, requiring a large driving force to open it. This is especially true for long-distance fluid transport, where an even greater driving force is needed. If the driving force provided inside the distribution valve is insufficient, problems such as valve jamming and blockage can easily occur.
[0030] Because the elastic pressure provided by the elastic member 41 in this embodiment seals the small pressure bead 42 at the top of the first flow channel 431, and transmits the pressure to the large pressure bead 43 through the small pressure bead 42, the large pressure bead 43 also seals the top of the second flow channel 32. At this time, the fluid is blocked in the first flow channel 431 and the second flow channel 32 by the large pressure bead 43 and the small pressure bead 42, that is, the inlet and outlet are not connected. When it is necessary to output fluid from the outlet, the tail 443 drives the top 441 and the middle 442 to move upward. Since there is a gap between the middle 442 and the large pressure bead 43, the top 441 first drives the small pressure bead 42 to move upward, opening the first flow channel 431. At this time, the fluid enters the first gap, and the middle 442 and the large pressure bead 43 maintain a gap. As the top 441 and middle 442 continue to move upward, the middle 442, together with the large pressure bead 43, pushes the large pressure bead 43 upward, opening the second flow channel 32. Fluid enters the second gap and then exits from the outlet. During this process, because the volume of the large pressure bead 43 is larger than that of the small pressure bead 42, the pressure exerted by the fluid on the large pressure bead 43 is greater than the pressure exerted on the small pressure bead 42. The top 441 requires only a small force to push the small pressure bead 42 upward, opening the through hole. At this point, the fluid flows at a low flow rate, which helps to relieve pressure on the fluid and reduces the pressure on the large pressure bead 43. After the pressure inside the valve body 3 decreases, the middle 442 can then use a small force to push the large pressure bead 43 upward, opening the second flow channel 32 and enabling a large flow rate of fluid. When the power to the tail section 443 is removed, the pressure of the elastic member 41 can press down the small pressure ball 42 and the large pressure ball 43 to seal again. In this way, the large pressure ball 43 and the small pressure ball 42 can seal in stages, which can reduce the driving force required for fluid conduction, thereby effectively reducing the jamming and blockage that occurs during operation and improving the working stability of the distribution valve.
[0031] The tail section 443 can be driven by an external drive unit. The drive unit can take various forms, such as a cylinder, an electric lead screw, or a hydraulic cylinder. The drive unit and valve body 3 can be mounted on an external structure to maintain their relative fixation.
[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, the elastic member 41 includes a spring 411, a first limiting member 412, and a second limiting member 413. The first limiting member 412 and the second limiting member 413 are respectively located at both ends of the spring 411. The first limiting member 412 abuts against the valve cap 2, and the spring 411 drives the second limiting member 413 to abut against the small pressure bead 42. It is worth noting that the first limiting member 412 needs to have a hollowed-out hole, and the second limiting member 413 needs to maintain a gap with the inner peripheral wall of the valve body 3, thereby ensuring that the liquid inlet hole 21 can communicate with the space inside the valve body 3.
[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first limiting member 412 has a first limiting protrusion 414 protruding from it, and the second limiting member 413 has a second limiting protrusion 415 protruding from it. Both the first limiting protrusion 414 and the second limiting protrusion 415 pass through the spring 411. In this embodiment, the first limiting protrusion 414 and the second limiting protrusion 415 can limit the position of the spring 411 and prevent displacement that could cause the spring 411 to fail.
[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second limiting member 413 has a first concave surface 416, and the top 441 has a second concave surface 417. Both the first concave surface 416 and the second concave surface 417 are in contact with the small pressure bead 42. In this embodiment, the first concave surface 416 and the second concave surface 417 can limit the position of the small pressure bead 42 and prevent it from shifting.
[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, a sealant 6 is provided inside the valve body 3, and the sealant 6 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the tail portion 443. In this embodiment, when the striking pin 44 moves up and down, gaps may be generated between it and the valve body 3. The sealant 6 can fill these gaps to prevent fluid leakage through the gaps, thereby ensuring a tight seal.
[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, the liquid outlet 31 is threadedly connected to a nozzle 5. The nozzle 5 allows for easy connection to external pipes and other structural components, further improving the convenience of overall connection and assembly.
