Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exhaust valve technology, and in particular to an exhaust valve structure for a self-priming pump. Background Technology

[0002] The working process of a gas-liquid mixing self-priming pump: Due to the special structure of the pump body, after the pump stops, a certain amount of water remains in the pump body. When the self-priming pump restarts, the air and water in the suction pipe are fully mixed due to the impeller rotation and discharged into the gas-liquid separation chamber. The gas in the upper part of the gas-liquid separation chamber overflows, and the water in the lower part returns to the impeller to mix with the remaining air in the suction pipe again until all the gas in the self-priming pump and suction pipe is discharged, completing the self-priming process and allowing normal water pumping. After the self-priming process is completed, the self-priming pump is in normal working condition, and the exhaust valve should be closed. At this time, it is necessary to use a solenoid valve or manually close the exhaust valve. However, solenoid valves usually have disadvantages such as difficulty in connecting electricity and the need for fire and explosion prevention. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide an exhaust valve structure for a self-priming pump to achieve automatic exhaust.

[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives and meet the above technical requirements, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a self-priming pump exhaust valve structure, including a valve body, a valve cover connected to the valve body by bolts, an air inlet at the bottom of the valve body, a drain outlet on the side, an exhaust outlet on one side of the valve cover, an isolation plate at the air inlet of the valve body for buffering the impact of the inlet gas-liquid pressure on the float, a float connecting rod assembly inside the valve body, the float connecting assembly being connected to an elastic valve core assembly, and the elastic valve core assembly extending into the valve cover cavity through a conical hole in the middle of the valve cover.

[0005] Preferably, the float connecting rod assembly includes a connecting rod disposed on the valve body, one end of the connecting rod being connected to the float and the other end being connected to the elastic valve core assembly, and the float being disposed within the isolation orifice plate.

[0006] Preferably, the resilient valve core assembly includes a valve stem, on which a valve core is disposed, and at the upper end of the valve stem, a spring is disposed.

[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the valve core is provided with a tapered portion, which mates with the tapered hole in the middle of the valve cover.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the spring is disposed in a groove on the inner surface of the valve cover, and the other end is disposed on the protrusion at the upper end of the valve core.

[0009] Compared with traditional structures, this utility model offers the following advantages: It features a simple structure with a float-and-rod design, facilitating easy valve core opening and closing; it employs an elastic valve core assembly with a conical elastic seal, preventing scale buildup; and it utilizes an isolation orifice plate to buffer the impact of inlet gas-liquid pressure on the float, preventing valve core malfunction and enabling rapid gas-liquid separation and discharge. It can be widely used in wastewater treatment, slurry and fiber conveying processes in industries such as petrochemicals, power, and steel. It can also be applied to the outlet of various self-priming pumps, eliminating the drawbacks of solenoid valves such as difficult power connection and fire / explosion prevention issues.

[0012] The present invention will be further described below.

[0013] See attached document Figure 1 A self-priming pump exhaust valve structure includes a valve body 4, a valve cover 6 connected to the valve body 4 by bolts 5, an air inlet 10 at the bottom of the valve body 4 and a drain outlet 9 on the side, an exhaust outlet 8 on one side of the valve cover 6 and a spare outlet 7 at the top, an isolation plate 3 at the air inlet 10 of the valve body 4 for buffering the impact of the inlet gas-liquid pressure on the float 2-1, a float connecting rod assembly 2 inside the valve body 4, the float connecting assembly 2 being connected to an elastic valve core assembly 1, and the elastic valve core assembly 1 extending into the valve cover cavity through a conical hole in the middle of the valve cover 6.

[0014] In this preferred embodiment, the float connecting rod assembly 2 includes a connecting rod 2-2 disposed on the valve body. One end of the connecting rod 2-2 is connected to the float 2-1, and the other end is connected to the elastic valve core assembly 1. The float 2-1 is disposed in the isolation orifice plate 3.

[0015] In this preferred embodiment, the elastic valve core assembly 1 includes a valve stem 1-2, a valve core 1-1 is disposed on the valve stem 1-2, and a spring 1-3 is disposed on the upper end of the valve stem 1-2.

[0016] In this preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the valve core 1-1 is provided with a tapered portion, which cooperates with the tapered hole in the middle of the valve cover 6.

[0017] In this preferred embodiment, one end of the spring 1-3 is disposed in a groove on the inner surface of the valve cover 6, and the other end is disposed on the protrusion at the upper end of the valve core 1.

[0018] In specific implementation, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the self-priming pump starts to exhaust, the gas-liquid mixture enters the valve chamber through the air inlet 10, and part of the gas-liquid mixture is discharged through the exhaust port 8 through the valve core. As the liquid level rises, it drives the float connecting rod assembly 2 to automatically close the valve core and complete the exhaust process. After the pump stops, part of the liquid level drops, and the float connecting rod assembly 2 floats down and automatically opens the valve core to complete the air intake process, preventing the liquid level in the pump box from dropping due to the siphon principle and being unable to self-prime again.

[0019] The new exhaust valve operates as follows: liquid pressure rises → float moves upward and connecting rod moves → valve core closes, exhaust is completed; after pump stops, liquid pressure drops → float moves downward and connecting rod moves → valve core opens, intake is completed → pump box liquid level stabilizes.

[0020] The above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples to clearly illustrate this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of this utility model, and the patent protection scope of this utility model should be defined by each claim.
