[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0020] Example
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gas flow amplifier includes a housing 4, an exhaust ring 8 installed at the bottom of the housing 4, a bottom shell 13 installed at the bottom of the exhaust ring 8, a valve core connecting rod 3 installed inside the housing 4, one end of the valve core connecting rod 3 is connected to a valve core, and the other end passes through the housing 4 and is connected to an adjusting nut 1, a spring 2 is provided between the adjusting nut 1 and the valve core connecting rod 3, and a sensitivity adjusting screw 14 is installed on the bottom shell 13.
[0022] Specifically, the outer casing 4 provides a mounting carrier for each component; the exhaust ring 8 is used to discharge excess gas and balance the internal pressure; the bottom casing 13 seals the bottom and supports the sensitivity adjustment component; the valve core connecting rod 3 and the valve core are the core actuators for controlling gas flow; the flow area of the inlet and outlet is adjusted by changing the position; the adjusting nut 1 and the spring 2 cooperate to adjust the initial position of the valve core by changing the elasticity of the spring 2, thereby achieving coarse flow adjustment; the sensitivity adjustment screw 14 is used to finely adjust the response sensitivity of the equipment to pressure changes and improve control accuracy.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, a second gasket 12 is installed inside the exhaust ring 8, a first gasket 10 is provided above the second gasket 12, and an interference fit riveting shaft 11 is provided between the first gasket 10 and the second gasket 12.
[0024] It should be noted that the first pad 10 and the second pad 12 form a stable support structure through the interference fit of the riveting shaft 11, which enhances the mechanical strength inside the exhaust ring 8 and prevents the components from deforming due to gas pressure fluctuations. The interference fit of the riveting shaft 11 ensures that the pad assembly is firmly connected, avoiding loosening that could affect the stability of the equipment, while also providing rigid support for the diaphragm and sealing components above.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner ring of the pad 10 is fitted with a pad fixing member 9, the inner ring of the pad fixing member 9 is fitted with a rubber pad 21, and the outer ring is fitted with a gasket 7 and an O-ring 20. The gasket 7 abuts against the retaining ring of the outer ring of the pad fixing member 9, and the O-ring 20 is located between the outer shell 4 and the exhaust ring 8.
[0026] Specifically, the gasket fastener 9 is an intermediate carrier connecting the gasket assembly and the valve core component. Its inner ring rubber gasket 21 is used to buffer the pressure of the valve core nut 6, avoid hard contact that could cause component wear, and enhance the sealing effect.
[0027] The outer ring gasket 7 cooperates with the retaining ring to limit the axial displacement of the gasket fixing part 9 and ensure its stable position. The O-ring seal 20 seals the connection between the outer shell 4 and the exhaust ring 8 to prevent gas from leaking from the gap and improve the equipment's sealing performance.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer casing 4 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The valve core connecting rod 3 is located inside the air outlet. A through-hole communicating with the air inlet is opened on one side of the air outlet. The end of the valve core connecting rod 3 away from the adjusting nut 1 passes through the through-hole and is threadedly connected to the valve core nut 6. The valve core nut 6 abuts against the rubber pad 21. The outer ring of the valve core connecting rod 3 is fitted with a rubber pad 22, which abuts against the through-hole. The outer ring of the valve core connecting rod 3 is fitted with a cap 5, which abuts against the valve core nut 6.
[0029] Specifically, the valve core nut 6 abuts against the rubber pad 21, transmitting the displacement of the valve core connecting rod 3 to the pad assembly, indirectly controlling the deformation of the diaphragm and adjusting the flow rate. The rubber pad 22 abuts against the through-hole, sealing the gap between the valve core connecting rod 3 and the through-hole, preventing gas leakage from the through-hole, and ensuring that all gas is discharged from the outlet after being regulated by the valve core.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second diaphragm 19 is provided between the outer shell 4 and the exhaust ring 8, and a first diaphragm 17 and an O-ring 18 are provided between the exhaust ring 8 and the bottom shell 13.
[0031] It should be noted that diaphragm 17 and diaphragm 2 19 are pressure sensing components that can quickly sense the pressure difference between the air inlet and the exhaust ring 8. Through deformation, they drive the valve core assembly to achieve dynamic flow regulation and improve the equipment response speed. O-ring 2 18 seals the connection between the exhaust ring 8 and the bottom shell 13, further enhancing the overall sealing of the equipment and preventing gas leakage from the bottom.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer ring of the adjusting nut 1 is fitted with an O-ring 23, the outer ring of the sensitivity adjusting screw 14 is fitted with an O-ring 16, one side of the bottom shell 13 is threaded with a cross screw 15, and the outer shell 4, the exhaust ring 8 and the bottom shell 13 are connected by a cross screw 24.
[0033] Specifically, the O-ring 23 seals the gap between the adjusting nut 1 and the outer shell 4, and the O-ring 16 seals the gap between the sensitivity adjusting screw 14 and the bottom shell 13, to prevent gas leakage in all directions and ensure the operating efficiency of the equipment.
[0034] Cross screw 15 reinforces the local structure of the bottom shell 13, and cross screw 24 fastens the outer shell 4, exhaust ring 8 and bottom shell 13 into a whole, ensuring the structural stability of the equipment under pressure fluctuations and facilitating disassembly and maintenance.
[0035] The working principle of a gas flow amplifier is based on the "Coanda effect," which was discovered by Henry Coanda in his aerodynamic studies. The Coanda effect refers to the adhesion of fluid to a gradually expanding surface, which allows the fluid to flow along the surface during injection, thereby increasing the flow rate while the pressure decreases.
[0036] Specifically, the gas flow amplifier adjusts the output flow rate and pressure via pneumatic signals. Its standard signal output ratio is 1:1, but amplification ratios of 1:2, 1:3, or 1:6 can be selected. Utilizing the Coanda effect principle of fluid mechanics, the gas flow amplifier inputs a small amount of high-pressure gas, which drives the surrounding gas at the input end, resulting in a high-speed output of a large volume of low-pressure gas at the output end. The gas flow rate can be amplified by 10 to 100 times.
[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
