Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a convenient manual air valve for special vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Special vehicles generally have good sealing properties, which makes the interior quite stuffy in summer and cold in winter. Therefore, special vehicles need to be equipped with air conditioning or heating systems to regulate the temperature and create a comfortable environment. The air supply to various devices in special vehicles is mostly achieved through ductwork installed inside the vehicle. Each duct is individually connected to the equipment requiring air supply and is arranged according to usage requirements. Currently, most ductwork uses electric valves for air supply control. However, electric valves have a low fault tolerance rate, and their installation positions are fixed. If the ductwork needs to be rerouted or additional branches added, it is difficult to reinstall the electric valves. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Figure 4 for Figure 1 Side view of the middle disc assembly. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a convenient manual air valve for special vehicles includes a disc assembly 1, an air duct 2, a connecting rod 3, and a handle 4. The outer wall of the air duct 2 has a first through hole and a second through hole symmetrically opened. The first through hole and the second through hole are located on the same horizontal plane, and the distance between the first through hole and the second through hole is equal to the inner diameter of the air duct 2. The disc assembly 1 is located inside the air duct 2 and is positioned between the first through hole and the second through hole. The disc assembly 1 is circular in shape and its diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the air duct 2. The front end of the connecting rod 3 is inserted through the first through hole, passes through the disc assembly 1, and exits through the second through hole. Rotating the connecting rod 3 can drive the disc assembly 1 to rotate.

[0022] The front end of the connecting rod 3 is threaded. After the front end of the connecting rod 3 passes through the second through hole, a washer 6 and a washer 9 are sequentially fitted on it and a limiting nut 10 is used for limiting. The middle part of the connecting rod 3 is a square body, and the rear end of the connecting rod 3 is a cylinder with a groove.

[0023] The handle 4 is inserted into the groove at the rear end of the connecting rod 3 and fixed to the connecting rod 3 as a whole by welding. During welding, the direction of the handle 4 should be parallel to the middle part of the connecting rod 3. The handle 4 is provided with a rubber sleeve 5, which can also be directly cast. The handle 4 is provided with an air volume gauge 11, which has an arc-shaped scale groove 12. The scale groove 12 is engraved with scales for indicating air volume, and the two ends of the scale are engraved with the words "open" and "closed". The outer wall of the air duct 2 is welded with a bolt 7 at the position corresponding to the "open" mark on the scale. The threaded part of the bolt 7 faces upward and passes through the scale groove 12. The threaded pointer 8 is tightened on the bolt 7.

[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the disc assembly 1 includes a semi-disc 13 and a connecting rod cylinder 14. The arc-shaped edges of the semi-disc 13 are chamfered to form an arc surface. Two semi-discs 13 are arranged opposite each other, and the connecting rod cylinder 14 is located between the two semi-discs 13. The two semi-discs 13 and the connecting rod cylinder 14 are welded together to form a disc structure. The middle of the connecting rod cylinder 14 is a square hollow that matches the square body. The arc surface of the semi-disc 13 is vulcanized and coated with rubber.

[0025] The disc assembly 1, connecting rod 3, and handle 4 can be set at any position in the air duct 2 as needed.

[0026] The working process of this utility model is as follows: According to the passenger's needs, select the air duct 2 where the manual air valve needs to be installed inside the vehicle. The air duct 2 can be any position within the vehicle's air duct system. Make a first and second through hole corresponding to each other horizontally on the air duct 2. Insert the connecting rod 3 into the first through hole of the air duct 2, then through the connecting rod cylinder 14 of the disc assembly 1 and into the second through hole, so that the handle 4, connecting rod 3, disc assembly 1, and air duct 2 are connected as a whole. Install the gasket 6 onto the threaded portion of the connecting rod 3 extending out of the air duct 2. Then tighten the washer 9 and the limiting nut 10 on the outside of the gasket 6. In this way, the connecting rod 3 achieves linkage between the handle 4, disc assembly 1, and air duct 2. Rotate the handle 4 to a position perpendicular to the air duct 2. Weld the bolt 7 onto the air duct 2 below the "open" sign on the handle 4, ensuring that the threaded portion of the bolt 7 faces upwards and extends into the scale groove 12. Then tighten the nut onto the bolt 7, allowing the manual air valve to be freely adjusted to the required airflow scale. Because the semicircular disc 13 has vulcanized rubber, it can rotate flexibly and has a certain degree of damping, which also ensures the sealing performance when the manual air valve is closed.
