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.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-3 One embodiment of this utility model is a flow-cooled condenser integrated valve, including a condenser valve 1. The outlet of the condenser valve 1 is provided with an installation groove 2. The installation groove 2 is cylindrical in shape, and a flow detection mechanism 3 is provided inside the installation groove 2 and on its upper side.

[0036] Reference Figures 2-4 The flow detection mechanism 3 includes a Hall element 31 and a base 32. The base 32 is tubular in shape, and its inner diameter is the same as the diameter of the outlet of the condensate valve 1. The outer diameter of the base 32 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting groove 2. The base 32 is set inside the mounting groove 2. A housing 33 is provided on the left side of the base 32. The housing 33 is tubular in shape, and both its inner and outer diameters are the same as those of the base 32.

[0037] Reference Figures 5-7 The base 32 and the outer shell 33 are connected by a connecting assembly 34. The connecting assembly 34 includes a retaining plate 341, which is tubular in shape and concentrically arranged with the base 32. The right end of the retaining plate 341 is fixedly connected to the left end of the base 32. A retaining groove 342 is provided on the right side of the outer shell 33, the depth of which is the same as the length of the retaining plate 341. A spherical groove 343 is provided on the outer wall of the retaining plate 341, and the spherical groove 343 is hemispherical in shape. A sliding groove 345 is provided on the inner wall of the outer shell 33, and a sliding plate 346 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 345. 46 slides along the inner wall of the sliding groove 345, and the sliding direction of the slide plate 346 is radial along the outer shell 33. A locking ball 347 is fixedly connected to the side of the slide plate 346 near the snap-fit ​​groove 342. The locking ball 347 is hemispherical in shape, and the diameter of the locking ball 347 is the same as the diameter of the spherical groove 343. The end of the slide plate 346 away from the locking ball 347 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 345 by a spring 348. One end of the spring 348 is fixedly connected to the end of the slide plate 346 away from the locking ball 347, and the other end of the spring 348 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 345.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7A support rod 35 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 32. A sleeve 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the support rod 35 away from the inner wall of the base 32. The cross-sectional shape of the sleeve 36 is circular. The sleeve 36 is concentrically arranged with the base 32. The support rod 35 is used to fix the sleeve 36 inside the outer shell 33. A support rod 37 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 33. A sleeve 38 is fixedly connected to the side of the support rod 37 away from the inner wall of the outer shell 33. The cross-sectional shape of the sleeve 38 is circular. The sleeve 38 is concentrically arranged with the outer shell 33. The support rod 37 is used to fix the sleeve 38 inside the outer shell 33. The sleeve 38 has the same shape as the sleeve 36. The sleeve 36 and the sleeve 38 are mirror images of each other.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 Both sleeve 1 (36) and sleeve 2 (38) have a rotating assembly 39 inside. A Hall effect sensor 31 is positioned above the rotating assembly 39. The outer wall of the Hall effect sensor 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the condenser valve 1 above the rotating assembly 39. The Hall effect sensor 31 is used to monitor the frequency of the rotating assembly 39. The rotating assembly 39 includes two balls 391, one inside sleeve 1 (36) and the other inside sleeve 2 (38). The rotating rod 392 is positioned inside both sleeve 1 (36) and sleeve 2 (38). The rotating rod 392 is made of magnetic material and has a waterproof coating on its exterior. A fan blade 393 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 392. The fan blade 393 is spiral-shaped, and there are multiple fan blades 393 arranged in a circular array around the axis of the rotating rod 392. The area of ​​the rotating rod 392 on the left side of the fan blade 393 is located inside the second sleeve 38, and the area of ​​the rotating rod 392 on the right side of the fan blade 393 is located inside the first sleeve 36. The two ends of the rotating rod 392 are in contact with the surfaces of two balls 391 respectively. The length of the rotating rod 392 on the left side of the fan blade 393 is the same as the length on the right side of the fan blade 393. The sum of the length of the rotating rod 392 on the left side of the fan blade 393 and the diameter of the ball 391 is greater than the depth of the opening of the first sleeve 36.

[0040] Reference Figures 2-4 A positioning component 310 is provided on the left side of the outer casing 33. The positioning component 310 includes a slot 311. The slot 311 is annular in shape and is located on the inner wall of the condenser valve 1 outside the mounting groove 2. A retaining spring 312 is provided inside the slot 311. The retaining spring 312 is a C-shaped retaining spring, and the outer arc surface of the retaining spring 312 near both ends is provided with protrusions with holes. The difference between the inner and outer diameters of the retaining spring 312 is greater than the depth of the slot 311. A material receiving groove 313 is provided on the inner wall of the condenser valve 1 on the left side of the slot 311.

[0041] Working principle: When in use, when water flows out from the outlet of condenser valve 1, the water flows through the inclined surface of fan blade 393 and pushes fan blade 393, thereby causing fan blade 393 to drive rotating rod 392 to rotate.

[0042] When the rotating rod 392 rotates, its rotation frequency is detected by the Hall component 31, thereby achieving the effect of flow detection.

[0043] When the rotating assembly 39 needs to be inspected and cleaned, the staff first removes the retaining ring 312 with retaining pliers. Due to the opening of the material picking groove 313, the retaining pliers can smoothly enter the hole opened at the top protrusion of the retaining ring 312, so the retaining ring 312 can be removed smoothly.

[0044] After the retaining ring 312 is removed, the worker can remove the housing 33, base 32 and its internal structure from the mounting groove 2 by reaching into the mounting groove 2 and moving to the left while applying an outward force to the inner wall of the housing 33.

[0045] After removal, the staff pulls the base 32 and the outer shell 33 in opposite directions. During this process, the surface of the locking ball 347 is subjected to force and moves in the direction of entering the sliding groove 345, thus enabling the base 32 and the outer shell 33 to separate relative to each other.

[0046] Once separated, the staff can remove the entire assembly consisting of the rotating rod 392 and the fan blade 393, and clean the entire assembly, as well as the inner walls of sleeve one 36 and sleeve two 38.

[0047] After cleaning, the staff first put the two ball bearings 391 into the inside of sleeve 1 36 and sleeve 2 38 respectively, then placed the rotating rod 392 at the opening of sleeve 1 36 and sleeve 2 38, and then moved the base 32 and the outer shell 33 toward each other.

[0048] During the process of inserting the card plate 341 into the card slot 342, when the card plate 341 contacts the outer wall of the locking ball 347, it pushes the locking ball 347, causing its spherical surface to be stressed and enter the sliding groove 345.

[0049] After the card plate 341 is fully inserted into the card slot 342, the base 32 is rotated while the outer casing 33 is manually fixed. At this time, the base 32 drives the card plate 341 to rotate. When the card plate 341 rotates to the point where the spherical groove 343 is exactly in the movement path of the locking ball 347, the slide plate 346 can drive the locking ball 347 to move in the direction of entering the spherical groove 343 under the elastic force of the spring 348. Since the locking ball 347 can feel the resistance of the locking ball 347 when the base 32 is rotated after the locking ball 347 enters the spherical groove 343, the operator can understand that the locking ball 347 has entered the spherical groove 343.

[0050] At this time, the staff put the relatively fixed base 32 and outer shell 33, along with their internal structure, into the mounting groove 2 and insert the retaining ring 312. Since the left end of the outer shell 33 is limited by the retaining ring 312 and the right end of the base 32 is limited by the right surface of the mounting groove 2, the base 32 and outer shell 33 can be stably positioned inside the mounting groove 2.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
