Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air circuit control valve technology for hydrogen energy fuel cell stacks, specifically a sealing design mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Throttle valve working principle: When energized, the drive control component controls the motor to rotate, which drives the transmission system and causes the valve plate to flip, opening the valve; when de-energized, the valve plate flips under the force of the torsion spring, closing the valve.
[0003] The existing design uses rubber ring sealing, and the valve plate flipping adopts a double eccentric structure, which solves the problems of high part machining precision, poor sealing performance, and easy valve plate jamming; the valve plate and shaft are connected by screws, which reduces the requirements for machining and assembly precision and meets the mass production requirements of the automotive industry.
[0004] When the operation begins, the throttle receives a signal from the ECU to control the motor to rotate, which drives the gear set to drive the valve plate to open and close, thus controlling the gas flow.
[0005] When the throttle is closed, the motor rotates, driving the gear set to close the valve plate, which then tightly seals against the rubber sealing ring, achieving a sealing effect.
[0006] The existing throttle valve uses a valve plate and is installed eccentrically.
[0007] 1) The seal is not tight and cannot meet the sealing requirements of new energy customers;
[0008] 2) The rubber is severely worn, resulting in a high failure rate.
[0009] Therefore, a new sealing design mechanism is proposed to optimize the existing throttle valve. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-7 In this embodiment of the utility model, a sealing design mechanism includes a valve seat assembly 1, a valve plate 2 is provided above the valve seat assembly 1, a connecting block 3 is provided above the valve plate 2, a shaft 4 is installed on the inner side of the connecting block 3, one side of the connecting block 3 is assembled with the valve plate 2, and a tension spring 5 is provided between the other side of the connecting block 3 and the valve plate 2.
[0030] The valve seat assembly 1 includes a sealing seat 6, and a sealing ring 7 is installed on the inner side of the sealing seat 6. The sealing ring 7 corresponds to and is adapted to the valve plate 2. The edge of the sealing ring 7 is provided with a limiting protrusion 14, which corresponds to the edge of the valve plate 2. The limiting protrusion 14 plays a certain edge limiting role, preventing the valve plate 2 from being driven by the tension spring 5 to rotate at a large angle when the valve plate 2 is rotated and falls.
[0031] A movable waist hole 8 is provided on the side where the connecting block 3 is installed with the valve plate 2. A connecting post 9 is fixedly connected to the valve plate 2 at the corresponding movable waist hole 8. The connecting post 9 is inserted into the movable waist hole 8 and can swing.
[0032] The connecting column 9 and the connecting block 3 are both provided with a pin hole 10, and a pin 11 is inserted into the pin hole 10. The connecting column 9 is rotatably connected to the movable waist hole 8 through the pin 11.
[0033] The connecting block 3 has a mounting hole 12 corresponding to the shaft 4. The shaft 4 has a mounting groove 13 corresponding to the connecting block 3. The connecting block 3 is adapted to the mounting groove 13. The shaft 4 has a threaded hole 15 corresponding to the mounting hole 12. The threaded hole 15 and the mounting hole 12 are both provided with a fixing bolt 16 adapted to them. The fixing bolt 16 passes through the threaded hole 15 of the mounting hole 12 and is threadedly connected.
[0034] Both the connecting block 3 and the valve plate 2 are fixedly connected with positioning bosses 17 for connecting the tension spring 5. The positioning bosses 17 are provided with locking holes 18. The tension spring 5 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning bosses 17 and its two ends of spiral threads are inserted into the locking holes 18.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] When operation begins, the throttle receives a signal from the ECU to control the motor to rotate, which in turn drives the gear set to rotate. The rotation of shaft 4 causes valve plate 2 to open, controlling the gas flow. First, when shaft 4 rotates from 0 degrees to 20 degrees, connecting block 3 is rotated, forming the first eccentric rotation. At the same time, tension spring 5 pulls valve plate 2 to deflect relative to shaft 4, forming a synchronous avoidance until connecting post 9 abuts against the edge of movable waist hole 8, forming a limit. Thus, valve plate 2 is lifted vertically upward by 2.5mm. When shaft 4 rotates from 20 degrees to 110 degrees, the second eccentric rotation is formed, and valve plate 2 rotates 90 degrees with shaft 4, opening fully.
[0037] When the throttle is closed, the motor rotates and drives the gear set to drive the shaft 4 to first rotate the valve plate 2 90 degrees in the opposite direction to reach the horizontal position, and then rotates it 20 degrees. The valve plate 2 falls vertically and closes tightly with the rubber sealing ring to achieve a sealing effect.
[0038] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
