Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of proportional valve technology, specifically to a dynamic pressure balancing device for a proportional valve. Background Technology

[0002] A proportional control valve is a hydraulic or pneumatic control valve that enables the output hydraulic parameters (pressure, flow, and direction) to change proportionally with the input electrical signal parameters (current and voltage), thereby achieving continuous proportional control. It combines the advantages of on / off electro-hydraulic control elements and servo electro-hydraulic control elements. It can be used for open-loop control or to form closed-loop control by adding a feedback loop. It has good static performance and dynamic performance that can meet the requirements of general industrial control.

[0003] Hydraulic proportional control valves typically consist of three parts: an electromechanical converter, a hydraulic amplifier (pilot valve and power stage main valve), and a detection feedback mechanism (single-stage valves do not have a pilot valve). The electromechanical converter is generally a proportional electromagnet that receives analog electrical signals and converts them into mechanical force, which pushes the valve core to move. The change in the position of the valve core changes the opening of the valve port, thereby regulating the flow and pressure of the hydraulic oil. When the input signal is larger, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnet is stronger, and the distance that pushes the valve core to move is greater, and the output flow or pressure increases accordingly. Conversely, when the input signal decreases, the valve core resets, and the flow or pressure decreases accordingly. In this way, precise control of the hydraulic system is achieved.

[0004] However, during the operation of a proportional valve, the valve core relies on an internal spring for elastic support to ensure dynamic pressure balance. However, after prolonged use, the elasticity of the spring inevitably decays, resulting in a decrease in elastic support force. This leads to errors in the dynamic pressure balance of the valve core, affecting the control accuracy and operational stability of the proportional valve. In existing technologies, when the problem of spring elasticity decay needs to be addressed, the proportional valve often needs to be completely disassembled to replace the support spring. This process is time-consuming and laborious, increasing maintenance costs and time. Furthermore, improper disassembly or installation may damage other components of the proportional valve, affecting the overall service life and performance of the equipment. Therefore, a dynamic pressure balancing device for proportional valves is proposed to address the above problems. 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] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] A dynamic pressure balancing device for a proportional valve includes a proportional valve body 1. An adjusting assembly 2 is installed inside the proportional valve body 1. One end of the adjusting assembly 2 is screwed to an adjusting drive assembly 3. An adjusting box 4 is fixedly fixed to one side of the rear end of the proportional valve body 1. The adjusting assembly 2 includes a valve core pusher 21. A connecting seat 22 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the valve core pusher 21. A pressure detector 23 is fixedly installed inside the connecting seat 22. A support spring 24 is fixedly connected to the detection end of the pressure detector 23. A spring adjusting seat 25 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the support spring 24. A screw seat 26 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the spring adjusting seat 25. A positioning groove 27 is formed below the spring adjusting seat 25. A position is elastically connected to the middle of the inner side of the positioning groove 27 by a spring. The indicator 28 and the positioning groove 27 are equipped with an observation rail mechanism 29. The adjustment drive assembly 3 includes a fixed base 31, a transmission screw 32 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed base 31, a driven large gear 33 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the transmission screw 32, a mounting frame 34 is installed on one side of the driven large gear 33, the mounting frame 34 is fixedly set inside the adjustment box 4 near the driven large gear 33, the interior of the mounting frame 34 is a hollow structure, the spring telescopic rod 35 is located in the corner area of ​​the front end face of the mounting frame 34, the front end face of the mounting frame 34 is fixedly connected to the spring telescopic rod 35, the telescopic end of the spring telescopic rod 35 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 36, and the interior of the connecting frame 36 is rotatably connected to the driving small gear 37. The transmission screw 32 is screwed to the screw seat 26.

[0032] As a further implementation of this solution, the observation rail mechanism 29 includes an observation rail body 291, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner side of the proportional valve body 1. The observation rail body 291 is parallel to the proportional valve body 1. The observation rail body 291 is slidably connected to the positioning groove 27 and the connecting seat 22, respectively. The interior of the observation rail body 291 is a hollow structure. The upper end face of the observation rail body 291 has linearly arranged indicator holes 292, the diameter of which is adapted to the diameter of the position indicator 28. An inclined reflector 293 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the observation rail body 291. The inclined reflector 293 is located below the indicator holes 292. The upper surface of the 3 is inclined. This design allows the observation rail body 291 to provide stable track support for the movement of the spring adjustment seat 25. When the spring adjustment seat 25 moves, the position indicator 28 moves synchronously through the spring. The position indicator 28 extends into the indicator hole 292 under the influence of the spring. The inclined structure of the inclined reflector 293 can clearly transmit the position information of the position indicator 28 to the operator through reflection. The operator can observe the image reflected by the inclined reflector 293 from the rear end of the observation rail body 291, thereby accurately understanding the position of the position indicator 28, and thus facilitating the judgment of the position of the spring adjustment seat 25, providing powerful assistance for precise adjustment.

[0033] As a further implementation of this solution, the fixed seat 31 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the inner side of the proportional valve body 1. The center of the fixed seat 31 and the center of the proportional valve body 1 are located on the same central axis. The fixed seat 31 is located in front of the driven large gear 33. This arrangement ensures that the transmission screw 32 can maintain good coaxiality during rotation, making the transmission more stable and reliable. It provides a stable support point for the transmission screw 32, ensuring the stability of the transmission connection between the driven large gear 33 and the transmission screw 32, thereby enabling the adjustment drive assembly 3 to work normally and efficiently.

[0034] As a further implementation of this solution, the front end of the transmission screw 32 extends into the interior of the support spring 24, and the rear end of the transmission screw 32 extends into the rear of the screw seat 26. The center of the transmission screw 32 and the center of the driven large gear 33 are located on the same central axis, which ensures that the force transmission is more uniform during the transmission process, avoids the extra torque caused by eccentricity, and improves the adjustment accuracy and stability.

[0035] As a further implementation of this solution, the shape of the connecting frame 36 is adapted to the shape of the driving pinion 37. The connecting frame 36 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the adjusting box 4. The driving pinion 37 extends into the interior of the mounting frame 34. The driving pinion 37 meshes with the driven large gear 33. The small diameter of the driving pinion 37 drives the large diameter of the driven large gear 33, resulting in a slow rotation speed of the driven large gear 33. The accuracy of adjustment is improved through the transmission between the driving pinion 37 and the driven large gear 33.

[0036] As a further implementation of this solution, a display 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the proportional valve body 1. An inlet pipe 6 is fixedly connected through one side of the proportional valve body 1, and an outlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected through the other side of the proportional valve body 1. The outlet pipe 7 is connected to the inlet pipe 6 through the proportional valve body 1. The arrangement of the inlet pipe 6 and the outlet pipe 7 realizes the input and output of liquid, ensuring the normal operation of the proportional valve. A proportional electromagnet 8 is fixedly connected to the front end of the adjustment drive component 3. The center of the proportional electromagnet 8 and the center of the valve core pusher 21 are located on the same central axis. The alignment of the central axis of the proportional electromagnet 8 and the valve core pusher 21 allows the force generated by the proportional electromagnet 8 to be accurately transmitted to the valve core pusher 21, thereby achieving precise control of the valve core and ensuring the adjustment effect of dynamic pressure balance of the proportional valve.

[0037] Work process: When the proportional valve body 1 is working, the support spring 24 acts on the detection end of the pressure detector 23. The pressure detector 23 converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal and displays the pressure value on the display 5 in real time through electrical connection. The operator can judge the elastic support state of the spring based on this. When the pressure value on the display 5 is abnormal, it is judged that the elasticity of the support spring 24 has decayed and needs to be adjusted. Adjustment operation is then performed.

[0038] In its natural state, the elasticity of the spring telescopic rod 35 separates the driving pinion 37 from the driven large gear 33, preventing misoperation. When adjustment is needed, the driving pinion 37 is first pressed inward, causing it to move the connecting frame 36 closer to the mounting frame 34. Simultaneously, the telescopic end of the spring telescopic rod 35 retracts, meshing the driving pinion 37 with the driven large gear 33 and rotating the driving pinion 37. Utilizing the transmission method where the smaller diameter of the driving pinion 37 drives the larger diameter of the driven large gear 33, the driven large gear 33 rotates at a slower speed, improving adjustment accuracy. The rotation of the driven large gear 33 drives the transmission screw 32, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate synchronously. Since the transmission screw 32 is threadedly connected to the screw seat 26, the rotating transmission screw 32 causes the spring adjustment seat 25 to move along the path of the observation rail mechanism 29, thereby compressing the front support spring 24 and achieving flexible adjustment of the elasticity of the support spring 24. During this process...

[0039] When the spring adjusting seat 25 moves, the position indicator 28 moves synchronously via the spring. The position indicator 28 extends into the indicator hole 292 under the action of the spring. At the same time, because the observation rail body 291 is equipped with an inclined reflector 293, the operator can observe the image reflected by the inclined reflector 293 from the rear end of the observation rail body 291 to understand the position of the position indicator 28, thereby facilitating the determination of the position of the spring adjusting seat 25 and assisting in the precise adjustment. After the adjustment is completed, the pressure on the driving pinion 37 is released. Under the elastic force of the spring telescopic rod 35, the connecting frame 36 drives the driving pinion 37 to reset. The driving pinion 37 separates from the driven large gear 33, and the device returns to the normal working waiting state. The pressure can continue to be monitored through the display 5 to ensure the dynamic pressure balance of the proportional valve.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
