[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 An automatically opening and closing CNG nozzle inflation valve includes a handle 1, a valve stem 2, an inflation valve connector 3, a bracket 4, an inflation valve body 5, a locking ring 6, a spring 7, a handle nut 8, a nut sealing ring 9, a rectangular pad 10, a sealing pad 11, a valve core pad 12, and an inflation valve core 13.
[0029] Handle 1 is connected to one end of valve stem 2. Handle 1 is fixed to valve stem 2 by handle nut 8. Nut sealing ring 9 is set between handle nut 8 and valve stem 2. Inflation channel is provided inside inflation valve body 5. Bracket 4 is fixed on inflation valve body 5. Inflation valve core 13 is set in inflation channel inside inflation valve body 5. Valve core gasket 12 is installed on inflation valve core 13. Sealing gasket 11 is set at interface of inflation valve body 5. Rectangular gasket 10 is installed in a specific position. Inflation valve connector 3 is connected to inflation valve body 5 by locking ring 6. Spring 7 is set between valve stem 2 and inflation valve body 5.
[0030] Handle and valve stem connection structure: Handle 1 is connected to one end of valve stem 2. Handle 1 is fixed to valve stem 2 by handle nut 8. Nut sealing ring 9 is set between handle nut 8 and valve stem 2 to prevent gas from leaking from the connection. When the operator turns handle 1, it can drive valve stem 2 to rotate or move accordingly.
[0031] Inflation valve main body structure: The inflation valve body 5 is the core component of the entire inflation valve. It has an inflation channel inside. The bracket 4 is fixed on the inflation valve body 5, which plays the role of supporting and fixing other components.
[0032] Valve core and sealing structure: The inflation valve core 13 is located in the inflation channel inside the inflation valve body 5. The valve core gasket 12 is installed on the inflation valve core 13 to enhance the sealing effect between the inflation valve core 13 and the inflation valve body 5. The sealing gasket 11 is set at the interface of the inflation valve body 5 to further ensure the sealing during the inflation process. The rectangular gasket 10 is installed in a specific position to play an auxiliary sealing and buffering role.
[0033] Connection and fixing structure: The inflation valve connector 3 is used to connect to the external CNG gas source and gas filling equipment. It is tightly connected to the inflation valve body 5 through the locking ring 6 to ensure the stability and sealing of the connection. The spring 7 is set between the valve stem 2 and the inflation valve body 5. The elastic force of the spring 7 realizes the automatic opening and closing function of the inflation valve. When a certain operating force is applied externally, such as turning the handle 1, the valve stem 2 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 7, so that the inflation valve opens. When the operating force is removed, the elastic force of the spring 7 pushes the valve stem 2 to return to its original position, thereby closing the inflation valve.
[0034] In this embodiment, the handle 1 and the valve stem 2 are connected by a threaded connection, which enables the valve stem 2 to rotate or move stably when the handle 1 is turned.
[0035] In this embodiment, the inflation valve body 5 is made of high-strength corrosion-resistant metal material, which can effectively resist the corrosion of CNG gas and extend the service life of the inflation valve.
[0036] In this embodiment, spring 7 is a stainless steel helical spring, which has good elasticity and fatigue resistance, ensuring that the inflation valve can open and close stably and automatically.
[0037] In this embodiment, both the valve core gasket 12 and the sealing gasket 11 are made of rubber, and the rubber material has high elasticity and good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent gas leakage.
[0038] In this embodiment, the bracket 4 is L-shaped, with one end fixed to the side of the inflation valve body 5 and the other end used to support other components, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire inflation valve structure.
[0039] In this embodiment, the surface of the handle nut 8 is provided with anti-slip texture, which makes it convenient for operators to tighten and loosen the handle nut 8, and facilitates installation and maintenance.
[0040] In this embodiment, the end of the inflation valve connector 3 that connects to the external CNG gas source and refueling equipment is provided with an internal thread, which makes the connection tighter and facilitates disassembly and replacement.
[0041] In this embodiment, the rectangular pad 10 is installed at the connection between the inflation valve body 5 and the inflation valve connector 3, which serves to further seal and buffer vibration.
[0042] In this embodiment, the valve stem 2 has a protruding structure at one end near the inflation valve core 13. This protruding structure cooperates with the groove on the inflation valve core 13 to precisely control the opening and closing of the inflation valve core 13.
[0043] To prevent the inflation valve connector 3 from becoming contaminated with debris when not in use, and to facilitate quick access to the inflation valve connector 3, a rubber protective sleeve is snapped onto the inflation valve connector 3.
[0044] Installation steps: First, install the spring 7 in the corresponding position inside the inflation valve body 5, ensuring that one end of the spring contacts the valve stem 2 and the other end is fixed to the inflation valve body 5. Next, install the inflation valve core 13 in the inflation channel of the inflation valve body 5, and install the valve core gasket 12 on the inflation valve core 13 to ensure the sealing performance of the inflation valve core 13. Then, install the sealing gasket 11 at the interface of the inflation valve body 5, and then install the rectangular gasket 10 in the designated position. After that, pass the valve stem 2 through the inflation valve body 5, and connect the handle 1 to the valve stem 2 through the handle nut 8, while installing the nut sealing ring 9. Finally, connect the inflation valve connector 3 tightly to the inflation valve body 5 through the locking ring 6 to complete the installation of the entire inflation valve.
[0045] Working principle: In use, first connect the inflation valve connector 3 to the external CNG gas source and refueling equipment. When the operator turns the handle 1, the handle 1 drives the valve stem 2 to rotate or move. The valve stem 2 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 7, causing the inflation valve core 13 to open. CNG gas enters the inflation channel of the inflation valve body 5 through the inflation valve connector 3, thereby realizing the refueling operation for vehicles and other equipment. When refueling is completed, the operator releases the handle 1. The elastic force of the spring 7 pushes the valve stem 2 to return to its original position. The valve stem 2 drives the inflation valve core 13 to close, stopping the refueling. Throughout the process, all sealing components effectively prevent gas leakage, ensuring the safety and stability of the refueling process.
[0046] Precautions: During installation and use, ensure that all components are installed correctly and tightly to avoid a decrease in sealing performance due to loose parts. Regularly check the wear of sealing components. If wear or damage is found in the sealing gasket, valve core gasket, etc., it should be replaced in time to ensure the normal use and sealing performance of the inflation valve. At the same time, when operating the handle, the operator should follow the prescribed operating procedures to avoid excessive force or misoperation.
