Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of control and reversing technology, and specifically refers to a pilot valve for controlling and reversing mechanisms. Background technology:
[0002] Chinese utility model patent (publication number CN222163756U, application date 2024.01.08, publication date 2024.12.13) discloses a pilot valve for controlling a reversing mechanism, including a valve body and a valve cover connected to the lower end of the valve body. A valve core is slidably disposed inside the valve body, and a switch rod is provided at the lower end of the valve core. The switch rod is slidably disposed inside the valve cover, with its lower end extending out of the valve cover. A compression spring is provided inside the valve body. The valve body is provided with an air inlet communicating with the inner cavity of the valve body and an air outlet communicating with the inner cavity of the valve body. The valve cover has a release port that connects to the inner cavity of the valve cover. When there is no external force, the valve core is sealed to the upper end of the valve cover under the action of the spring force, disconnecting the inner cavity of the valve body and the inner cavity of the valve cover. Gas flows to the reversing mechanism through the air inlet, the inner cavity of the valve body and the reversing mechanism port. When an external force hits the switch rod, the switch rod moves upward, compressing the spring. The valve core is not sealed to the valve cover, and the inner cavity of the valve body and the inner cavity of the valve cover are connected. Gas flows out through the air inlet, the inner cavity of the valve body, the inner cavity of the valve cover and the release port.
[0003] The shortcomings of the above-mentioned pilot valve are: the sealing effect between the valve core and the upper end of the valve cover is not good, and air leakage occurs. Utility Model Content:

[0014] In the pilot valve of the aforementioned control reversing mechanism, the valve body is mounted on the housing of a pneumatic motor. The housing has a mounting hole with an upper opening.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 —3:
[0025] A pilot valve for controlling a reversing mechanism includes a valve body 1 and a valve core 2 slidably disposed vertically within the valve body 1. The side wall of the valve body 1 is provided with an air inlet 3, a reversing mechanism port 4, and a release port 5, arranged sequentially from top to bottom. A sealing ring 6 is fitted over the valve core 2 to seal the gap between the valve body 1 and the valve core 2. When the sealing ring 6 is located between the air inlet 3 and the reversing mechanism port 4, the air inlet 3 is disconnected from the reversing mechanism port 4, and the reversing mechanism port 4 is connected to the release port 5. When the sealing ring 6 is located between the reversing mechanism port 4 and the release port 5, the air inlet 3 is connected to the reversing mechanism port 4, and the reversing mechanism port 4 is disconnected from the release port 5.
[0026] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model provides a sealing ring 6 outside the valve core 2 to seal the gap between the valve body 1 and the valve core 2. It has a good sealing effect, effectively prevents air leakage, and thus prevents the phenomenon of air leakage between them. The sealing ring 6 is driven to move up and down by the valve core 2. The sealing ring 6 can be used to block the connection between the air inlet 3 and the reversing mechanism port 4, and it can also be used to block the connection between the reversing mechanism port 4 and the release port 5. The structure is ingeniously designed.
[0027] To better connect the air intake 3 with the reversing mechanism port 4, and the reversing mechanism port 4 with the release port 5, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, a mounting ring 7 protrudes from the outer periphery of the middle part of the valve core 2, and the sealing ring 6 is mounted on the mounting ring 7.
[0028] In order for valve core 2 to slide smoothly, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the valve core 2 has an upper support ring 8 protruding from its upper outer periphery and a lower support ring 9 protruding from its lower outer periphery. The upper support ring 8 is provided with an upper air passage, and the lower support ring 9 is provided with a lower air passage.
[0029] To connect the upper and lower sides of the upper support protrusion 8, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the outer periphery of the upper support protrusion ring 8 is provided with a plane 10, and the plane 10 and the inner wall of the valve body 1 form the upper air passage. The upper and lower sides of the upper support protrusion ring 8 are connected through the air passage.
[0030] To connect the upper and lower sides of the lower support protrusion 9, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the lower support protruding ring 9 has a plane 11 on its outer periphery. The lower air passage is formed between the plane 11 and the inner wall of the valve body 1. The upper and lower sides of the lower support protruding ring 8 are connected through the lower air passage.
[0031] Furthermore, four are evenly distributed around the circumference of plane 10, thus forming four upper air passages; four are evenly distributed around the circumference of plane 21, thus forming four lower air passages.
[0032] The specific structure of the pilot valve: as follows Figure 1-3 As shown, the upper end face of the valve core 2 is recessed to form a mounting groove 12. A compression spring 13 is provided in the mounting groove 12. The upper end of the compression spring 13 abuts against the valve body 1, and the lower end abuts against the inner end face of the mounting groove 12. The side wall of the valve core 2 is provided with an air passage hole 14 that connects the outside of the valve core 2 and the mounting groove 12. The air passage hole 14 is located below the upper support protrusion ring 8. The air passage hole 14 connects the outside of the valve core 2 and the mounting groove 12, thereby reducing the influence of the air pressure in the mounting groove 12 on the upward movement of the valve core 2.
[0033] The structure and installation structure of sealing ring 6: as follows Figure 1-3 As shown, the outer circumferential surface of the mounting ring 7 is concave to form an annular groove 15 with a rectangular cross-section. The sealing ring 6 is disposed within the annular groove 15, and the cross-section of the sealing ring 6 is D-shaped. The sealing ring 6 of this utility model is a pneumatic solenoid valve seal, with a mature and stable structure, better sealing effect, and longer service life.
[0034] The specific structure and installation structure of the pilot valve: such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the valve body 1 is mounted on the housing 16 of the pneumatic motor. The housing 16 has a mounting hole 17 with an upper opening. The valve body 1 is screwed into the mounting hole 17, and the lower end of the valve body 1 abuts against the inner end face of the mounting hole 17. A cavity for the valve core 2 to slide is formed between the valve body 1 and the mounting hole 17. A switch rod 18 with its lower end extending out of the housing 16 is provided below the valve core 2. This utility model only requires the valve body 1, the valve core 2, and the switch rod 18, which has a simple structure, few parts, and only one screw connection. The coaxiality can be well controlled, and the processing and installation are easy.
[0035] The installation structure of the switch rod 18: The lower end face of the valve core 2 is recessed to form a second mounting groove 19. The upper end of the switch rod 18 is slidably disposed in the second mounting groove 19 and the lower end extends out of the housing 16. The upper end face of the switch rod 18 is recessed to form a third mounting groove 20. A second compression spring 21 is provided in the third mounting groove 20. The upper end of the second compression spring 21 abuts against the inner end face of the second mounting groove 19 and the lower end abuts against the inner end face of the third mounting groove 20.
[0036] To prevent air leakage from the pilot valve, as well as between the air inlet 3, the reversing mechanism port 4, and the release port 5, the valve body 1 is fitted with an O-ring 22 to seal the gap between the valve body 1 and the housing 16. Three O-rings 22 are provided: one O-ring 22 is located above the air inlet 3, another O-ring 22 is located between the air inlet 3 and the reversing mechanism port 4, and the last O-ring 22 is located between the reversing mechanism port 4 and the release port 5. The switch rod 18 is fitted with an O-ring 23 to seal the gap between the switch rod 18 and the housing 16.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When compressed air enters the pneumatic motor, under pressure, the piston in the pneumatic motor moves towards the low-pressure chamber of the pneumatic motor. When the piston reaches the set position, it strikes the switch rod 18 of the pilot valve. The switch rod 18 compresses the second compression spring 21, which then moves the valve core 2 upward, compressing the first compression spring 13. The sealing ring 6 is located between the air inlet 3 and the reversing mechanism port 4. The air inlet 3 is disconnected from the reversing mechanism port 4, and the reversing mechanism port 4 is connected to the release port 5. The air in the reversing mechanism is released into the atmosphere through the reversing mechanism port 4 and the release port 5, forming a low-pressure chamber at the reversing mechanism. Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the air pressure at both ends of the reversing mechanism is unbalanced, and the reversing mechanism moves towards the low-pressure chamber. Simultaneously, the reversing mechanism drives its valve block to move as well. The movement of the valve block causes the air inlet of the pneumatic motor to switch. This switching changes the high-pressure and low-pressure chambers on both sides of the pneumatic motor piston, causing the piston to move in the opposite direction from its previous direction of movement. When the piston leaves the switch rod 18, the switch rod 18 and valve core 3 move downwards under the action of compressed air, the elastic force of compression spring 13, and the elastic force of compression spring 21. The sealing ring 6 is located between the reversing mechanism port 4 and the release port 5. The air inlet 3 is connected to the reversing mechanism port 4, and the reversing mechanism port 4 is disconnected from the release port 5. The gas in the pneumatic motor drive passage flows through the air inlet 3 and the reversing mechanism port 4 to the reversing mechanism, forming a high-pressure chamber at the reversing mechanism. Figure 1 As shown.
[0038] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
