AI Technical Summary
The flap opening relies on fluid pressure to directly overcome gravity or spring resistance, which can easily lead to a high opening threshold and delayed response. In complex environments such as ship roll and mechanical vibration, the flap is prone to abnormal opening and closing due to gravity offset or vibration impact, resulting in seal failure or backflow risk.
A check valve structure for an exhaust fan was designed, integrating a linkage assembly of a slider, drive wheel, crank, and return spring within the housing to form a dual drive and limit system. When the airflow drives the flap to rotate, the linkage between the connecting rod and the slider amplifies the low-pressure driving force to ensure stable opening of the flap. When the machine stops, the return spring pulls the slider to reset via the connecting block, and the drive wheel abuts against the stop of the slide groove to achieve rapid and precise sealing.
It reduces flow resistance in low wind pressure environments, ensures stable opening of the flap, and achieves rapid and accurate sealing under complex working conditions, resisting the effects of vibration and tilting, and avoiding seal failure and backflow.
