[0029] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a valve body for a bed-type toilet, comprising:
[0030] The upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2 are provided. The lower valve body 2 is installed at the bottom of the upper valve body 1 and is connected to the toilet. The bottom of the lower valve body 2 is provided with a waist-shaped sliding groove 3. After the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2 are installed, a waist-shaped sliding cavity is formed inside the valve body. A valve plate 5 is adapted to slide in the waist-shaped sliding groove 3.
[0031] A drive mechanism is provided on the inner or outer side of the lower valve body 2 and connected to the periphery of the valve plate 5, for driving the valve plate 5 to move along the length direction of the waist-shaped slide groove 3;
[0032] The upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2 are provided with a collection hole 4. The collection hole 4 is located on the side of the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2 away from the drive mechanism. The collection hole 4 is located within the projection of the waist-shaped slide groove 3. The valve plate 5 is adapted to the specifications of the collection hole 4.
[0033] The sealing elements are respectively disposed on the opposite end faces of the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2, and are used to achieve sealing between the valve plate 5 and the collection hole 4, as well as between the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2.
[0034] It should be explained that during use, the valve body is installed together with the toilet bowl. The valve plate 5 is moved back and forth by the drive mechanism to open or close the collection hole 4. Multiple seals are used to create a multi-stage seal between the valve plate 5 and the collection hole 4, as well as between the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2, preventing insufficient valve body sealing that could lead to leakage of residual media and affect operation. Furthermore, the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2 are bolted together, facilitating easy disassembly and quick replacement of internal components. The structure is simple, and maintenance costs are low.
[0035] Specifically, the valve body is installed with the toilet bowl. The lower valve body is fixedly connected to the toilet bowl, and a sealing ring is installed at the connection point around the toilet bowl opening to prevent leakage.
[0036] Furthermore, the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2 have first annular grooves 8 formed on their respective edge tracks near their opposite end faces, and the upper and lower ends of the waist-shaped sliding cavity are respectively provided with second annular grooves 9. The sealing element is provided in both the first annular groove 8 and the second annular groove 9, and the sealing element is adhered to the bottom of the first annular groove 8 or the second annular groove 9.
[0037] Furthermore, the sealing element includes a first sealing ring 10 and a second sealing ring 11. The first sealing ring 10 is installed in the first annular groove 8, and the second sealing ring 11 is installed in the second annular groove 9. The first sealing ring 10 and the second sealing ring 11 constitute a loop-shaped sealing structure.
[0038] Specifically, the sealing between the valve plate 5 and the collection hole 4, as well as between the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2, is achieved through a loop-shaped sealing structure.
[0039] Furthermore, the first sealing ring 10 and the second sealing ring 11 are inflatable sealing rings or elastic sealing rings.
[0040] Furthermore, the top two sides of the first annular groove 8 and the second annular groove 9 are provided with limiting flanges (not shown in the figure) to limit the inflatable sealing ring or elastic sealing ring and prevent the sealing ring from falling out.
[0041] In some embodiments, the inflatable sealing ring includes an inflation valve and an exhaust valve disposed thereon, and a pressure sensing unit is disposed inside the inflatable sealing ring. The inflation valve is connected to an external pressurizing device, which is used to provide a pressurizing medium to the inside of the inflatable sealing ring. When the inflatable sealing ring is used for sealing, by filling the inflatable sealing ring with a pressurizing medium, the expansion volume of the inflatable sealing ring changes, thereby achieving a seal between the valve plate 5 and the collection hole 4, and between the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2. Specifically, when the valve plate 5 moves, the inflatable sealing ring is in a slightly expanded / deflated state, reducing the moving resistance. When it moves into place, a pressurizing medium is filled into the inflatable sealing ring for expansion and sealing.
[0042] In some embodiments, an elastic sealing ring is used for sealing. The elastic sealing ring is made of a corrosion-resistant and moisture-resistant material, such as fluororubber or polytetrafluoroethylene.
[0043] Furthermore, the inner walls of the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2 are provided with a grid-like support rib (not shown in the figure) formed by the intersection of longitudinal support bars and transverse support bars, with a thickness of 20%-30% of the total thickness of the upper valve body 1 or the lower valve body 2, to enhance the deformation resistance of the valve body.
[0044] Furthermore, the working surface of the valve plate 5 is provided with a wear-resistant coating.
[0045] Specifically, the wear-resistant coating is a composite coating prepared by mixing Teflon substrate and silicon carbide particles, with a thickness of 50-80 μm and a surface roughness Ra≤0.8 μm.
[0046] In some embodiments, a plurality of balls (not shown in the figure) are rotatably embedded on the outer side of the valve stem 6 along its body. The balls roll into the insertion hole 7 to drive the valve plate 5 to move, thereby reducing frictional resistance.
[0047] Furthermore, an arc-shaped sealing section 12 is provided on the inner side of the second sealing ring 11 at one end of the collection hole 4. The arc-shaped sealing section 12 and the second sealing ring 11 near the end of the collection hole 4 form an annular sealing ring, which is used to seal the periphery of the collection hole 4 and prevent leakage at the collection hole 4 during the movement of the valve plate 5.
[0048] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes: a valve stem 6, one end of which is connected to the valve plate 5; a through hole 7 is provided in the middle of one end of the waist-shaped slide groove 3 along its length direction; the other end of the valve stem 6 extends through the through hole 7 to the outside of the valve body; the valve stem 6 is driven manually or by a linear drive unit.
[0049] Specifically, when manual drive is used, a pull handle is directly installed on the outside of the valve stem 6, which can be manually pulled; when a lower linear actuator is used for drive, the output end of the pneumatic / hydraulic telescopic cylinder is coaxially and fixedly connected to the outer end of the valve stem 6 for linear drive.
[0050] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the upper valve body 1 and the lower valve body 2 are also provided with antibacterial coatings, such as silver ion antibacterial coatings or zinc ion composite coatings, which comply with ISO22196 standards.
[0051] Experimental test data for this embodiment:
[0052] Sealing performance: No leakage after 5000 consecutive opening and closing cycles at 0.1MPa pressure (refer to GB / T 13927 standard).
[0053] Wear resistance: The wear of the Teflon-coated valve plate is <0.1mm after 500,000 sliding cycles (ASTM G133 test).
[0054] Structural strength: The mesh support increases the valve body's resistance to deformation by 40% (simulation comparison data).
[0055] Effect verification comparison
[0056]
[0057] In practice, the valve body is installed together with the toilet bowl, and the valve plate is moved back and forth by the drive mechanism to open or close the collection hole. The valve plate and the collection hole, as well as the upper valve body and the lower valve body, are sealed in multiple stages by the setting of the sealing element to avoid insufficient sealing of the valve body, which would lead to leakage of residual medium and affect the use.
[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
