[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an easily adjustable smart valve for heating, including an electric actuator 1 and a valve body 2. The top of the valve body 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the electric actuator 1. An external sensor 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the electric actuator 1. A V-shaped ball 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the valve body 2. The external sensor 3 can monitor the temperature data of the external environment of the valve in real time. The built-in sensor 7 is located inside the valve body 2 and can collect the temperature information of the fluid inside the valve body.

[0024] The electric actuator 1 has a built-in sensor 7 fixedly installed on its top. The valve body 2 has a temperature acquisition interface 4 at its bottom. At the same time, the temperature acquisition interface 4 at the bottom of the valve body 2 can be connected to other temperature acquisition devices. The valve seat 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the valve body 2. The built-in sensor 7 is located inside the valve body 2.

[0025] The outer wall of the valve seat 6 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the V-shaped ball 5. A connecting rod 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the V-shaped ball 5. The top of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly installed to the bottom of the electric actuator 1. The outer wall of the connecting rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the valve body 2.

[0026] This easily adjustable smart valve for heating mainly consists of an electric actuator 1, valve body 2, external sensor 3, internal sensor 7, V-shaped ball 5, valve seat 6, connecting rod 8, and other components. Through cooperation with a power supply or battery and various signal transmission methods, it achieves intelligent regulation of the heating flow rate. Its specific working principle is as follows:

[0027] As the core driving component of the smart valve, the electric actuator 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the valve body 2, providing power transmission to the internal components of the valve body. The external sensor 3 and the internal sensor 7 fixedly installed on the top of the electric actuator 1 play an important role in temperature acquisition. The external sensor 3 can monitor the temperature data of the external environment of the valve in real time, while the internal sensor 7 is located inside the valve body 2 and can collect the temperature information of the fluid inside the valve body. At the same time, the temperature acquisition interface 4 opened at the bottom of the valve body 2 can be connected to other temperature acquisition devices.

[0028] The V-shaped ball 5, which is rotatably connected inside the valve body 2, is a key component for controlling the heating flow. The valve seat 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the valve body 2, and its outer wall is slidably connected to the outer wall of the V-shaped ball 5, providing support and sealing for the rotation of the V-shaped ball 5. The connecting rod 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the V-shaped ball 5, and its top is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric actuator 1. Its outer wall is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the valve body 2, realizing the power transmission between the electric actuator 1 and the V-shaped ball 5.

[0029] In actual operation, the smart valve can adjust the flow rate in a variety of ways. On the one hand, it can adjust the opening of the ball according to the temperature of the supply and return water. When the supply and return water temperatures change, the temperature data collected by the external sensor 3, the built-in sensor 7, and the temperature acquisition interface 4 will be transmitted to the electric actuator 1. The electric actuator 1 drives the connecting rod 8 to rotate the V-shaped ball 5, thereby adjusting the opening of the ball and controlling the flow rate of the heating fluid to maintain a suitable heating temperature.

[0030] On the other hand, the smart valve can also control the flow rate based on the indoor temperature. The electric actuator 1, based on the difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature, also drives the connecting rod 8 to rotate the V-shaped ball 5 to adjust the heating flow rate and keep the indoor temperature within a comfortable range.
