Detailed Implementation

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0027] refer to Figures 1 to 4 ,like Figures 1 to 4The illustration shows a miniature positive and negative pressure valve, comprising a valve body 10. The valve body 10 has a first interface 11, a second interface 12, and a third interface 13 on its side. The upper part of the valve body 10 is divided into a positive pressure control zone 14 and a negative pressure control zone 15. The positive pressure control zone 14 has an air passage 141 connected to the first interface 11 and an air passage 142 connected to the second interface 12. The negative pressure control zone 15 has an air passage 151 connected to the third interface 13 and an air passage 151 connected to the first interface 11. 52; Both the positive pressure control zone 14 and the negative pressure control zone 15 are equipped with control valves 20 for controlling the opening and closing of air passage 141 and air passage 242 and air passage 3151 and air passage 4152. The two control valves 20 are arranged in a side-by-side array. The control valve 20 includes an electromagnetic drive mechanism 21 and a shut-off valve body 22. The shut-off valve body 22 is fixed to the gas distribution valve body 10 by screws 23. The electromagnetic drive mechanism 21 and the shut-off valve body 22 are fixedly connected by C-shaped buckles 24.

[0028] In the above structure, the interfaces 11, 12, 13, 141, 142, 151, and 152 of the valve body 10 are formed by drilling to control and adjust the air path direction, providing a positional basis for the installation of control valves 20 on the positive pressure control zone 14 and the negative pressure control zone 15. The two control valves 20 are superimposed on the valve body 10, and the control valves 20 are arranged in a side-by-side array, effectively ensuring the compactness of the overall volume. The mating surface between the shut-off valve body 22 and the valve body 10 is arranged perpendicularly to the mating surface between the electromagnetic drive mechanism 21 and the shut-off valve body 22 at a 90-degree angle. If both are fixed with screws 23, there will be cross-interference. If this needs to be avoided, the overall size will need to be increased. Therefore, the shut-off valve body 22 is fixed to the valve body 10 with screws 23. The electromagnetic drive mechanism 21 and the shut-off valve body 22 are fixedly connected by C-shaped buckles 24, which can effectively avoid interference and ensure the reliability of the fixation and the convenience of installation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic drive mechanism 21 is provided with a coil (not shown in the figure), and the shut-off valve body 22 is provided with a valve core (not shown in the figure) that is controlled to move axially by the coil (not shown in the figure).

[0030] In the above structure, when the coil (not shown in the figure) is not energized, the first channel 221 and the second channel 222 remain normally closed. By selectively energizing one of the two coils (not shown in the figure), the conduction of interface 11 and interface 22 or interface 11 and interface 33 can be realized. If interface 22 is connected to positive voltage and interface 33 is connected to negative voltage, the positive and negative voltage control of interface 11 can be realized.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first channel 221 and the second channel 222 of the shut-off valve body 22 of the control valve 20 in the positive pressure control zone 14 both face the positive pressure control zone 14 and are respectively connected to air passage 141 and air passage 242; the first channel 221 and the second channel 222 of the shut-off valve body 22 of the control valve 20 in the negative pressure control zone 15 both face the negative pressure control zone 15 and are respectively connected to air passage 3151 and air passage 4152.

[0032] In the above structure, the top-mounted shut-off valve body 22 is easy to maintain and replace.

The first dovetail body 211 and the second dovetail body 224 together form a dovetail block. The C-shaped buckle 24 has a dovetail-shaped opening and is locked between the first dovetail body 211 and the second dovetail body 224. The first dovetail body 211 and the second dovetail body 224 are both two or more sets, and are evenly distributed with the valve core (not shown in the figure) axis as the array base point.

[0036] In the above structure, the electromagnetic drive mechanism 21 and the shut-off valve body 22 are directly injection molded. When docking, C-shaped buckles 24 are used to clamp the first dovetail body 211 and the second dovetail body 224 to achieve stable docking of the two, which facilitates assembly, disassembly and maintenance.

[0037] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic drive mechanism 21 and the shut-off valve body 22 are positioned by a positioning pin 212 and a positioning hole 225.

[0041] In this embodiment, the upper part of the gas distribution valve body 10 has a downwardly opening fixing recess 101 at its top corner, and the fixing recess 101 has a fixing hole 102 that runs through from top to bottom.

[0042] In the above structure, the fixing recess 101 and fixing hole 102 facilitate the fixing and installation of the valve body 10 by bolts (not shown in the figure) without increasing the overall volume of the valve body 10.

[0043] In this embodiment, interface 11, interface 2 12 and interface 3 13 are all equipped with quick connectors 30.

[0044] In the above structure, a quick connector 30 is provided to facilitate quick pipe connection.

[0045] In this embodiment, interface 2 12 and interface 3 13 are located on the side of the gas distribution valve body 10 away from interface 1 11; the shut-off valve body 22 is located directly above the gas distribution valve body 10; and the electromagnetic drive mechanism 21 of the two control valves 20 is located directly above the quick connectors of interface 2 12 and interface 3 13.

[0046] In the above structure, the empty space above the quick connector 30 at the positions of interface 2 12 and interface 3 13 is effectively utilized, making the overall structure more compact.
