[0002] Aluminum angle valves are common pipeline connection components, mainly used to control the flow of media in pipelines. They are characterized by simple structure and convenient installation, and are widely used in construction, water supply, and industrial equipment. However, when existing aluminum angle valves are used in low-temperature environments, due to the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of metal materials, the valve core will shrink under low-temperature conditions. This leads to an increase in the sealing gap between the valve core and the valve seat, thereby reducing the valve's sealing performance and causing water leakage. This problem is particularly prominent in cold regions, not only affecting normal water use for residents but also potentially posing safety hazards to industrial production. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.
[0022] When existing aluminum angle valves are used in low-temperature environments, the valve core will shrink due to the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of metal materials. This will increase the sealing gap between the valve core and the valve seat, thereby reducing the valve's sealing performance and causing water leakage. This problem is particularly prominent in cold regions, which not only affects the normal water use of residents, but may also pose a safety hazard to industrial production.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of aluminum angle valves when used in low-temperature environments, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an aluminum angle valve suitable for low-temperature environments, which can solve the sealing failure problem caused by the shrinkage of the valve core 5 due to low temperature. The aluminum angle valve uses a valve body 1 as a base. A valve cylinder 2 is connected to the top of the valve body 1, and a valve seat 3 is fixedly installed inside the valve body 1. The valve seat 3 has a conical opening / closing hole 301. A valve stem 4 is threadedly connected inside the valve cylinder 2. A conical valve core 5, which matches the opening / closing hole 301, is fixedly connected to the lower end of the valve stem 4. A flow guide channel 401 is opened inside the valve stem 4, and a heating chamber 501 communicating with the flow guide channel 401 is opened inside the valve core 5. A handle 6 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the valve stem 4 by bolts. A heating rod 7 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the handle 6. The lower end of the heating rod 7 extends into the flow guide channel 401. The flow guide channel 401 is filled with a heat compensation medium. When used in a low-temperature environment, the heat compensation medium inside the flow guide channel 401 can be heated by the heating rod 7. The heat compensation medium uses antifreeze or heat transfer oil. Antifreeze can prevent the heat compensation medium from freezing, while heat transfer oil helps improve the heat transfer efficiency of the heat compensation medium. The heat compensation medium flows along the guide channel 401 to the heating chamber 501, which can evenly transfer heat to the entire valve core 5 and valve stem 4, preventing the gap between the valve core 5 and the opening / closing hole 301 from increasing due to cold contraction, thus ensuring the sealing effect of the valve core 5. After the equipment has been used for a certain period of time, the handle 6 can be disassembled, and the heating rod 7 can be removed for maintenance or replacement. The heat compensation medium in the guide channel 401 can also be replaced periodically to ensure the heating effect of the equipment. This effectively solves the sealing failure problem caused by low-temperature shrinkage of traditional aluminum angle valves, ensuring that the valve core 5 and valve seat 3 always maintain the best fit clearance, and improving the sealing performance of the equipment in low-temperature environments.
[0025] Since valve body 1 is usually not manually monitored in real time after installation, a temperature sensor 10 and a processor 11 are installed on the outer wall of valve cylinder 2 to automatically control the heating rod 7 when the temperature of valve body 1 is too low. The temperature sensor 10 and the heating rod 7 are both electrically connected to the processor 11. A battery 12 is installed inside handle 6, and the heating rod 7 and the processor 11 are both electrically connected to the battery 12. The temperature sensor 10 is used to detect the temperature of valve body 1, and the processor 11 is used to control the working state of heating rod 7 according to the detection signal of temperature sensor 10. When temperature sensor 10 detects that valve body 1 has reached a preset low temperature threshold, the processor 11 can control heating rod 7 to heat it. Thus, heating rod 7 can heat valve stem 4 and valve core 5 in a timely manner through heat compensation medium, without the need for manual monitoring, which is convenient to use.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 As shown and Figure 4 As shown, the diameter of the opening and closing hole 301 gradually increases from bottom to top. This ensures that even if the valve core 5 shrinks in a low-temperature environment, it can still maintain a tight fit with the inner wall of the opening and closing hole 301 as the valve core 5 is inserted, further reducing the risk of leakage.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] To further optimize the sealing effect of valve core 5, an irregularly shaped upper sealing ring 8 is fixedly sleeved on the top of valve core 5, and an L-shaped lower sealing ring 9 is fixedly sleeved on the bottom of valve core 5. A sealing groove 302 is opened on the inner wall of the opening and closing hole 301 for the installation of the upper sealing ring 8 and the lower sealing ring 9. Both the upper sealing ring 8 and the lower sealing ring 9 are made of low-temperature resistant rubber material. The upper sealing ring 8 and the lower sealing ring 9 form a double sealing structure to prevent media leakage.
[0029] The upper sealing ring 8 has an upper oblique surface 801 on one side of its bottom. The upper oblique surface 801 forms an angle of 30°-45° with the horizontal plane. The upper oblique surface 801 can provide an obstruction for the flow of the medium and enhance the elastic compensation capability of the upper sealing ring 8 at low temperatures.
[0030] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
