Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of one-way valve technology, specifically to a one-way valve for breathability in down jackets. The one-way valve is installed in the down jacket and is used to expel moisture and heat from the down jacket. The one-way valve includes a valve body with an inner seat containing a highly elastic diaphragm. A snap-fit ​​assembly facilitates quick replacement of the inner seat between the valve body and the inner seat. This utility model, by incorporating a one-way valve in the down jacket and flexibly adjusting its installation position, allows heat and moisture from the body to compress the highly elastic diaphragm during movement, causing it to deform and lift upwards, thus facilitating the expulsion of heat and moisture.

Furthermore, when movement ceases, internal heat is trapped, preventing the entry of cold external air.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of one-way valve technology, and in particular to a one-way valve for breathability in down jackets. Background Technology

[0002] A check valve is a type of valve that allows fluid to flow freely in one direction while blocking flow in the opposite direction. It is typically used to prevent fluid backflow and protect system equipment from the effects of reverse flow.

[0003] In most current down jacket designs, there are many shortcomings in achieving breathability. The breathability of ordinary down jacket fabrics is relatively fixed. When the wearer engages in strenuous exercise, the body generates a lot of heat and moisture. Due to the lack of an effective breathability mechanism, it is difficult to expel heat and moisture in time by relying solely on the breathability of the fabric itself, causing the wearer to feel stuffy and damp, which seriously affects the wearing comfort. On the other hand, if the fabric has good breathability and can easily expel moisture and heat, then cold air from the outside will also enter the body, affecting the warmth retention.

[0004] To address this, a one-way valve for breathability in down jackets is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a one-way valve for breathability in down jackets, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a one-way valve for ventilation of down jackets, wherein the one-way valve is installed on the down jacket and is used to expel moisture and heat from the down jacket. The one-way valve includes a valve body, an inner seat on the valve body, and a highly elastic diaphragm in the inner seat. A snap-fit ​​assembly is provided between the valve body and the inner seat to facilitate quick replacement of the inner seat. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes an elastic hook fixedly connected to the inner seat. The valve body has a disassembly port and a hook port for connecting with the elastic hook.

[0007] Preferably, the valve body has a built-in platform, and the inner seat is located in the built-in platform.

[0008] Preferably, the inner seat has a hollow platform and an exhaust port, and a high-elasticity diaphragm is located in the hollow platform and corresponds to the exhaust port. The arc edge of the high-elasticity diaphragm is fixedly connected to the inner seat.

[0009] Preferably, the inner seat has an air outlet, which corresponds to the highly elastic diaphragm.

[0010] Preferably, an mounting plate (13) is fixedly connected to the inner seat (4), and a blocking post (14) for limiting the high elastic diaphragm (5) is fixedly connected to the mounting plate (13).

[0011] Preferably, an outer cover (15) is fixedly connected to the inner seat (4), and the outer cover (15) has a plurality of openings (16) for venting air outward.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention incorporates a one-way valve on a down jacket, allowing for flexible adjustment of its installation position. When the wearer is exercising, the heat and moisture in the body can compress a highly elastic diaphragm, causing the diaphragm to deform and lift upwards, thus facilitating the outward discharge of heat and moisture. Compared to relying solely on the fabric itself for heat dissipation, the one-way valve provides better heat dissipation. Furthermore, when exercise stops, the internal heat cannot be dissipated, thus locking in the temperature and preventing external cold air from entering.

[0014] This invention features a snap-fit ​​assembly that allows the inner seat to be easily removed and replaced when the internal structure of the one-way valve is damaged. This is achieved by prying open the elastic hook to disengage it from the hook opening. Alternatively, the internal structure of the one-way valve can be replaced by pressing the elastic hook, causing the inner seat to enter the built-in platform. The elastic hook, under its own elasticity, engages with the hook opening, thus completing the connection between the inner seat and the valve body. Replacement is simple and convenient; when the internal structure of the one-way valve is damaged, it can be replaced without disassembling the one-way valve from the down jacket.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides a one-way valve for ventilation of down jackets. The one-way valve 1 is installed on the down jacket 2. The one-way valve 1 is used to expel moisture and heat from the down jacket 2. The one-way valve 1, located on the down jacket 2, allows a large amount of heat and moisture generated in the wearer's body to be expelled during strenuous exercise, thus maintaining wearing comfort. The connection method between the one-way valve 1 and the down jacket 2 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The one-way valve 1 includes a valve body 3, with an inner seat 4 on the valve body 3. A highly elastic membrane is provided in the inner seat 4. Piece 5; A snap-fit ​​assembly is provided between the valve body 3 and the inner seat 4 to facilitate quick replacement of the inner seat 4. By setting the snap-fit ​​assembly, when the one-way valve 1 is used on the down jacket 2 for a long time and the one-way valve 1 is damaged, such as the high elastic diaphragm 5 losing its elasticity, it can be replaced without separating the entire one-way valve 1 from the down jacket 2. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes an elastic hook 6 fixedly connected to the inner seat 4. The valve body 3 has a disassembly port 7 and a hook port 8 for connecting with the elastic hook 6.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, specifically, the valve body 3 has an internal platform 9, and the inner seat 4 is located in the internal platform 9. The inner seat 4 has a hollow platform 10, and an exhaust port 11 is provided on the inner seat 4. The high-elasticity diaphragm 5 is located in the hollow platform 10, and the high-elasticity diaphragm 5 corresponds to the exhaust port 11. The arc edge of the high-elasticity diaphragm 5 is fixedly connected to the inner seat 4. When wearing the down jacket 2 and engaging in vigorous exercise, due to the large range of arm movements, the air inside the down jacket 2 is compressed, enhancing its fluidity. The compressed hot and humid air reaches the bottom of the high-elasticity diaphragm 5 through the exhaust port 11 on the inner seat 4, and the hot and humid air can compress the high-elasticity diaphragm 5. Because the high-elasticity diaphragm 5 itself has very high elasticity... The high-elasticity diaphragm 5 has a strong deformation capacity, allowing it to deform under the pressure of hot and humid air. One end of the diaphragm 5 is lifted upwards, creating an interconnected connection between the exhaust vent 11 and the hollow platform 10. Hot and humid air can enter the hollow platform 10 through the exhaust vent 11. An installation plate 13 is fixedly connected to the inner seat 4, and a blocking post 14 for limiting the movement of the high-elasticity diaphragm 5 is fixedly connected to the installation plate 13. When the high-elasticity diaphragm 5 deforms and lifts upwards, the blocking post 14 on the top installation plate 13 blocks the high-elasticity diaphragm 5, preventing excessive deformation during long-term deformation and loss of deformation recovery ability, thereby increasing its service life.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, specifically, an air outlet 12 is provided in the inner seat 4, corresponding to the high-elasticity diaphragm 5. An outer cover 15 is fixedly connected to the inner seat 4, and the outer cover 15 has several openings 16 for exhausting air. In the above process, hot and humid air enters the hollow platform 10 and is discharged upward through the air outlet 12, thus entering the outer cover 15 and gradually being discharged outward through the openings 16 on the outer cover 15. That is, the hot and humid air generated in the body is discharged outward. When not exercising, the body... The hot air inside cannot be compressed, thus preventing the high-elasticity diaphragm 5 from deforming and preventing the hot air from escaping. This effectively locks in the temperature and prevents heat loss. Simultaneously, cold air from the outside, after entering the inner seat 4, is also prevented from entering the down jacket 2 by the high-elasticity diaphragm 5. If the one-way valve 1 is damaged, such as by the high-elasticity diaphragm 5 affecting its operation, a tool such as a small screwdriver can be inserted into the disassembly port 7 to pry open the elastic hook 6, allowing the... The elastic hook 6, which has the ability to deform, is pried open and gradually detaches from the hook opening 8. At the same time, after the elastic hook 6 detaches from the hook opening 8, the inner seat 4 can be lifted up and pried out, so that the inner seat 4 can be removed from the inner platform 9, and then a new inner seat 4 can be replaced. This achieves the replacement of internal structures such as the high-elasticity diaphragm 5. During installation, the new inner seat 4 is gradually installed into the inner platform 9. During the installation process, the elastic hook 6 is squeezed by fingers, so that it deforms under force to facilitate its entry into the inner platform 9. After the inner seat 4 is gradually installed into the inner platform 9, when the elastic hook 6 moves to the hook opening 8, the elastic hook 6 can automatically reset under its own elasticity, so as to lock into the hook opening 8 and complete the locking. This completes the connection between the inner seat 4 and the valve body 3. This allows the replacement of the internal structure of the one-way valve 1 without disassembling the one-way valve 1 from the down jacket 2. It is simple and quick. The entire one-way valve 1 can also be set in the armpit position of the down jacket 2. The installation position can be flexibly adjusted, so as to facilitate the exhaust and heat dissipation of the inside of the down jacket 2.
