Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure switch technology, specifically to a multifunctional pressure switch. Background Technology
[0002] Air conditioning, refrigeration, and heating systems all require the installation of multi-functional pressure switch valves. These valves monitor system pressure changes in real time and automatically trigger control mechanisms to achieve precise system pressure balance. When the system pressure exceeds or falls below a set threshold, the pressure switch will promptly activate or deactivate relevant equipment, effectively preventing flow fluctuations caused by pressure imbalances and avoiding overload operation of core components such as compressors and water pumps due to abnormal pressure. This protects the stable operation of the system while optimizing equipment efficiency, achieving energy conservation and consumption reduction.
[0003] Existing multi-functional pressure switches use a single pressure threshold setting mechanism, which is difficult to dynamically adapt to frequency conversion systems. Frequency conversion systems rely on real-time adjustment of equipment operating frequency to match load changes, while the setting of a single pressure threshold lacks flexibility and cannot make accurate responses to dynamic changes in system operating conditions. When the system is running at low load, the fixed threshold of the pressure switch may cause hydraulic imbalance, resulting in uneven fluid distribution in the pipeline and causing local pressure to be too high or too low. In scenarios with frequent load fluctuations, a single threshold will cause frequent pump start-stops, which not only accelerates the wear of pump mechanical parts and shortens equipment life, but may also cause loosening of pipe joints and aging of seals, further affecting the stability and reliability of the entire system, increasing maintenance costs and failure risks.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, a multi-functional pressure switch includes: a valve body 1, an intermediate body 2, and a valve cover 5.
[0029] The valve body 1 is provided with an inlet 11 and multiple outlets 12. The inlet 11 is used to connect the fluid medium to be controlled, and the multiple outlets 12 can be flexibly opened or closed according to the actual pipeline requirements, so as to facilitate the flow of the medium in the valve and subsequent pipeline system. The intermediate body 2 is equipped with a valve core 3. The top and bottom of the valve core 3 are equipped with seals 4, which can accurately control the opening and closing state of the internal flow channel of the valve body 1 with the displacement of the valve core 3, and can achieve fine adjustment of the opening degree of the medium flow by different displacement degrees of the valve core 3. In addition, the valve cover 5 is provided with an air inlet 51, which serves as the access channel for compressed air and provides a passage for the flow of compressed air between the valve cover 5 and the relevant control chamber.
[0030] Furthermore, the valve body 1 has a flow cavity 13 inside, and the flow cavity 13 is connected to the liquid inlet 11, the first outlet 121 and the second outlet 122 respectively.
[0031] Specifically, the inlet 11 is located on one side of the valve body 1 and is connected to one side of the flow chamber 13; the first outlet 121 is located on the other side of the valve body 1 and is connected to the other side of the flow chamber 13; the second outlet 122 is located at the bottom of the valve body 1 and is connected to the bottom of the flow chamber 13; different outlets can be flexibly selected according to the actual pipeline connection and medium flow direction requirements to adapt to various system installation and operation scenarios.
[0032] It should be explained in detail that the top of the valve body 1 and the intermediate body 2 abut against each other to form a first sealing cavity 6. The first sealing cavity 6 controls the opening and closing of the flow cavity 13 through the bottom seal 4. Correspondingly, the top of the intermediate body 2 abuts against the valve cover 5 to form a second sealing cavity 7. The second sealing cavity 7 controls the opening degree of the valve core 3 through the top seal 4.
[0033] In addition, a functional port 21 is provided on one side of the intermediate body 2, and the functional port 21 is connected to the second sealing cavity 7. It can be used as an access channel for external control signals (such as compressed air, control fluid, etc.). When the external control signal enters the second sealing cavity 7 through the functional port 21, it realizes remote switching control of the valve core 3 opening degree.
[0034] Understandably, the end of the metal valve core 3 is threadedly connected to the seal 4 via screw 44. The seal 4 can control the sealing cavity formed between the intermediate body 2, the valve body 1, and the valve cover 5. When the pressure or state of the sealing cavity changes, the seal 4 drives the valve core 3 to move, thereby controlling the flow channel opening and closing. It can also finely adjust the opening degree, thus adapting to long-term high-frequency pressure fluctuation environments and effectively improving service life.
[0035] Please continue reading. Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, the sealing element 4 includes a diaphragm pressure plate 41 and a valve disc pressure plate 42. The sealing element 4 is detachably connected to the end of the valve core 3, which facilitates later maintenance and replacement.
[0036] Furthermore, the diaphragm plate 41 is detachably mounted on the top of the valve core 3 by screws 44, while the valve disc plate 42 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the valve core 3 by screws 44.
[0037] Specifically, the diaphragm plate 41 abuts against the sealing diaphragm 43, and the diameter of the sealing diaphragm 43 is 2-4 times that of the valve core 3.
[0038] For example, the diameter of the sealing diaphragm 43 is 81 mm, while the diameter of the valve core 3 is 27 mm, which can form a sealing pressure ratio of 3:1. Based on Pascal's principle, the pressure amplification effect brought about by this area difference can give the pressure switch high sensitivity, so that even a small gas pressure can drive the valve core 3 to move, which is suitable for small flow and high precision control scenarios. Moreover, when compressed air is injected, the valve opening can be linearly adjusted, thereby adapting to the dynamic pressure requirements of the frequency conversion system.
[0039] Working principle: During operation, the medium flows into the valve body 1 from the inlet 11, and is diverted to the first outlet 121 and / or the second outlet 122 through the internal flow chamber 13. The user can choose to block one of the outlets according to actual needs, flexibly planning the medium flow direction. When it is necessary to adjust the valve opening, the compressed air introduced through the air inlet 51 acts on the diaphragm pressure plate 41 and the sealing diaphragm 43 at the top of the valve core 3. Since the diameter of the sealing diaphragm 43 (81mm) and the diameter of the valve core 3 (27mm) form a 3:1 area ratio, according to Pascal's law... The pressure of a small volume of air can be amplified into a high sealing specific pressure, which drives the valve core 3 to move. The displacement of the valve core 3 is linearly related to the inlet pressure. The higher the pressure, the greater the upward movement of the valve core 3, the larger the valve opening, and the greater the medium flow rate. Conversely, when the inlet pressure is reduced, the valve core 3 falls back under the action of gravity or spring rebound force, and the valve opening decreases. This can not only meet the on / off control requirements of small flow pipelines, but also adapt to dynamic pressure changes in frequency conversion systems, effectively avoid hydraulic imbalance or frequent pump start-stop problems, and ensure stable system operation.
