Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of backflow preventer technology, and in particular to a flue gas backflow preventer valve and a flue gas backflow prevention device including the flue gas backflow preventer valve. Background Technology
[0002] A flue backflow preventer is a valve installed at the flue opening for use in piping systems, typically in the exhaust ducts of household range hoods. This includes range hood backflow preventers, plastic telescopic flue valves, and flue backflow preventers. A backflow preventer mainly consists of a valve body, a rocker arm, and a valve cover.
[0003] Backflow preventers are crucial in flue systems. Their core function is to prevent backflow of cooking fumes, avoid the accumulation of fumes in the kitchen, isolate odors and harmful gases, and prevent the intrusion of foreign objects and insects. For some well-designed backflow preventers, such as electric backflow preventers, they can also reduce airflow interference in the flue, help fumes be discharged quickly, and reduce exhaust resistance.
[0004] Electric flue backflow preventers are generally equipped with an intelligent control system that can automatically sense the operating status of the range hood and automatically open or close the valve, making it more convenient for users. When the range hood is working, the motor of the electric flue backflow preventer opens the valve cover, allowing the fumes to escape smoothly; when the range hood stops working, the motor of the electric flue backflow preventer closes the valve cover, preventing fumes from flowing back into the kitchen through the flue.
[0005] While current electric flue backflow preventers can work in conjunction with the operating status of the range hood, the following shortcomings have gradually been discovered during use: (1) The drive structure and control system such as motor and circuit board are usually directly installed on the outer wall of the valve body, which is inconvenient to install. Moreover, the valve body temperature is high during operation, which will directly affect the normal operation of the drive structure and control system, resulting in a high failure rate and short service life of the equipment. In addition, the motor is prone to conduction with the valve body, which poses a great safety hazard. (2) When a fire occurs in the range hood, the electric flue backflow preventer cannot detect the fire and automatically close the exhaust duct, thus making it impossible to take timely and effective countermeasures based on the fire. (3) The complex installation structure of the valve cover makes the assembly of the entire electric flue check valve cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot effectively ensure that the valve cover is flipped into place, thus failing to ensure the accurate opening and closing of the valve cover. (4) There is an installation gap between the valve cover shaft and the valve body, which makes the valve body airtight. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0023] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0024] Meanwhile, the meaning of "and / or" or "and / or" appearing throughout the text is that it includes three options. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes option A, option B, or an option that satisfies both A and B.
[0025] Furthermore, in this utility model, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a flue gas backflow preventer, including a cylindrical valve body 1. The cylindrical valve body 1 has a flue gas passage for oil fumes to pass through. A valve cover assembly for opening and closing the flue gas passage is rotatably installed inside the cylindrical valve body 1. A driving device for opening and closing the valve cover assembly is provided outside the cylindrical valve body 1. When the valve cover assembly is open, oil fumes can be discharged from the flue gas passage. When the valve cover assembly is closed, oil fumes can be prevented from flowing back into the flue gas passage.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, a U-shaped mounting base 4 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cylindrical valve body 1. The U-shaped mounting base 4 is a bent metal plate structure, and there is a heat insulation gap between the U-shaped mounting base 4 and the outer wall of the cylindrical valve body 1. An insulating plate 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the U-shaped mounting base 4 away from the cylindrical valve body 1, and a circuit board 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the insulating plate 5 away from the U-shaped mounting base 4. The driving device includes a drive motor 7, which is located on the side of the circuit board 6 away from the insulating plate 5. The drive motor 7 has a motor output shaft 8, which extends through the circuit board 6, the insulating plate 5, the U-shaped mounting base 4 and the cylindrical valve body 1 in sequence into the flue gas passage and is fixedly connected to the valve cover assembly.
[0028] The flue gas anti-backflow valve uses a drive motor 7 to rotate the valve cover assembly. When the drive motor 7 drives the valve cover assembly to the open state, the fumes can be smoothly discharged through the flue gas channel. When the drive motor 7 drives the valve cover assembly to the closed state, the flue gas channel is blocked by the valve cover assembly, which can prevent the fumes from flowing back into the flue gas channel.
[0029] The flue gas check valve is equipped with a U-shaped mounting base 4 and an insulating plate 5, which facilitates the installation of the circuit board 6 and the drive motor 7. At the same time, it can greatly reduce the heat conduction effect of the cylindrical valve body 1, thereby greatly reducing the impact of the temperature of the cylindrical valve body 1 on the drive motor 7, the circuit board 6 and the components on the circuit board 6, ensuring the normal operation of the drive system and the control system components, reducing the equipment failure rate, and extending the service life of the equipment. The insulating plate 5 can effectively prevent electrical conduction between the drive motor 7 and the cylindrical valve body 1, thereby greatly reducing the occurrence of safety accidents.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the valve cover assembly includes a valve plate 2 and an annular sealing ring 3. The annular sealing ring 3 covers the outer edge of the valve plate 2, and the annular sealing ring 3 has an integrally formed flexible sealing edge 301 that is adapted to the inner diameter of the cylindrical valve body 1. When the valve cover assembly is in the closed state, the flexible sealing edge 301 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the cylindrical valve body 1, so that the valve cover assembly and the cylindrical valve body 1 have good sealing performance, thereby effectively preventing oil fumes from flowing back into the flue channel.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, to enable the valve cover assembly to be rotatably mounted within the cylindrical valve body 1, a rotating shaft 9 is rotatably mounted on the cylindrical valve body 1. The rotating shaft 9 is correspondingly positioned with the motor output shaft 8. The valve cover assembly is located between the rotating shaft 9 and the motor output shaft 8, and the ends of the motor output shaft 8 and the rotating shaft 9 extending into the flue gas passage are respectively fixedly connected to the valve plate 2. The drive motor 7 operates, driving the valve cover assembly to rotate via the motor output shaft 8, thereby opening and closing the valve cover assembly.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, to achieve the installation and connection between the annular sealing ring 3 and the valve plate 2, the annular sealing ring 3 has an annular groove that matches the outer edge of the valve plate 2. The annular sealing ring 3 is sleeved on the valve plate 2 through the annular groove, and several through holes 201 are evenly opened along the circumference of the edge of the valve plate 2. The annular sealing ring 3 has several integrally formed connecting posts that are respectively arranged corresponding to the through holes 201. The connecting posts pass through the through holes 201, and the annular sealing ring 3 is connected to the valve plate 2 through the through holes 201 and the connecting posts. The valve cover assembly can be prepared by placing the valve plate 2 in an injection mold. The preparation operation is simple and convenient, and the connection between the annular sealing ring 3 and the valve plate 2 is firm and reliable.
[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, to facilitate precise and rapid assembly and connection of the rotating shaft 9 and the motor output shaft 8 with the valve cover assembly, the annular sealing ring 3 is provided with positioning grooves 302 respectively corresponding to the motor output shaft 8 and the rotating shaft 9. The positioning grooves 302 realize the positioning and limiting of the motor output shaft 8 and the rotating shaft 9. The end of the motor output shaft 8 and the rotating shaft 9 extending into the flue gas channel is a semi-cylindrical structure with a planar positioning side, and the planar positioning side of the motor output shaft 8 and the rotating shaft 9 are both set towards the valve plate 2, which can ensure that the installation of the motor output shaft 8 and the rotating shaft 9 is firm and reliable.
[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the annular sealing ring 3 also has an integrally formed marking protrusion 303, which is located near the motor output shaft 8. The marking protrusion 303 is used to help the operator correctly identify the installation orientation of the valve cover assembly. When assembling and installing the valve cover assembly inside the cylindrical valve body 1, the position of the marking protrusion 303 on the valve cover assembly is aligned with the motor output shaft 8, which can avoid incorrect installation of the valve cover assembly and make the assembly and installation of the valve cover assembly accurate and fast.
[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the valve plate 2 has a first mounting hole 202, and the annular sealing ring 3 has a second mounting hole 304 at the positioning groove 302 position, which is respectively provided with the first mounting hole 202. The motor output shaft 8 and the rotating shaft 9 are fixedly connected to the valve plate 2 by mounting bolts passing through the first mounting hole 202 and the second mounting hole 304.
[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the cylindrical valve body 1 is provided with a shaft end sealing cap 10 corresponding to the rotating shaft 9. The shaft end sealing cap 10 is an integrally formed structure of the cylindrical valve body 1, and the shaft end sealing cap 10 is sealed to the outer wall of the cylindrical valve body 1. When installing the rotating shaft 9, the mounting end of the rotating shaft 9 is placed against the shaft end sealing cap 10, and then the connecting end of the rotating shaft 9 is connected and fixed to the valve cover assembly. The shaft end sealing cap 10 facilitates the installation of the rotating shaft 9 and effectively prevents oil fume leakage from the flue gas passage.
[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a temperature sensor 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cylindrical valve body 1. The temperature sensor 11 is located between the valve cover assembly and the flue gas inlet of the cylindrical valve body 1, and the temperature sensor 11 is set close to the circuit board 6. The temperature sensor 11 is used to realize the real-time detection of the temperature in the flue gas channel.
[0038] In one embodiment, the temperature sensor 11 is a ceramic temperature sensor 11, which can operate stably in a temperature range of -40°C to +200°C and has excellent characteristics of high temperature resistance and fire resistance.
[0039] During operation, the temperature sensor 11 detects the temperature inside the flue gas duct in real time. When a fire occurs in the range hood, the flame enters the flue gas duct, causing the temperature inside the flue gas duct to rise. When the temperature inside the flue gas duct reaches the set value of the temperature sensor 11, the temperature sensor 11 feeds back the detection signal to the control system. The control system controls the drive motor 7 to work, drives the valve cover assembly to close, and blocks the flue gas duct to achieve safety protection.
[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 8 to 10 , Figures 14 to 16 As shown, a follower rocker arm 12 is provided between the drive motor 7 and the circuit board 6. The follower rocker arm 12 includes an integrally formed mounting part 1201, a trigger part 1202, and a pointer part 1203. The mounting part 1201 is located between the trigger part 1202 and the pointer part 1203, and the mounting part 1201 has a fitting hole 12011 adapted to the motor output shaft 8. The follower rocker arm 12 is fitted onto the motor output shaft 8 through the fitting hole 12011. Two microswitches 13 are fixedly installed on the side of the circuit board 6 near the drive motor 7, and the trigger part 1202 is located between the two microswitches 13. When the drive motor 7 drives the valve cover assembly to flip, the follower rocker arm 12 swings synchronously with the motor output shaft 8. When the valve cover assembly flips to the closed state, the trigger part 1202 abuts against one of the micro switches 13. The micro switch 13 feeds a signal back to the control system, which controls the drive motor 7 to stop working, ensuring that the valve cover assembly stops accurately. When the valve cover assembly flips to the open state, the trigger part 1202 abuts against the other micro switch 13. The micro switch 13 feeds a signal back to the control system, which controls the drive motor 7 to stop working, ensuring that the valve cover assembly stops accurately. The pointer part 1203 allows the operator to intuitively understand the opening and closing status of the valve cover assembly. Through the follower rocker arm 12 and the micro switch 13, the valve cover assembly can be effectively ensured to flip into place, thereby ensuring the accurate opening and closing of the valve cover assembly.
[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 11 and Figure 13As shown, in order to facilitate the quick and accurate installation of the insulating plate 5 on the U-shaped mounting base 4, the U-shaped mounting base 4 is provided with a number of first positioning holes 401. The side of the insulating plate 5 near the U-shaped mounting base 4 is provided with a number of first positioning protrusions 501 respectively corresponding to the first positioning holes 401. The first positioning protrusions 501 are adapted to the first positioning holes 401. The insulating plate 5 is positioned and installed on the U-shaped mounting base 4 through the first positioning holes 401 and the first positioning protrusions 501, which makes the assembly and installation of the insulating plate 5 simple and convenient, and greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the insulating plate 5.
[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the U-shaped mounting base 4 has a first wire hole 402 corresponding to the temperature sensor 11, and the insulating plate 5 has a second wire hole 502 corresponding to the first wire hole 402; the first wire hole 402 and the second wire hole 502 facilitate the wire connection between the circuit board 6 and the temperature sensor 11.
[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, to facilitate the rapid and accurate installation of the circuit board 6 on the insulating plate 5, the insulating plate 5 is provided with a number of second positioning protrusions 503 on the side near the circuit board 6. The circuit board 6 is provided with a number of second positioning holes 601 respectively corresponding to the second positioning protrusions 503. The second positioning holes 601 are adapted to the second positioning protrusions 503. The circuit board 6 is positioned and installed on the insulating plate 5 through the second positioning holes 601 and the second positioning protrusions 503, which makes the assembly and installation of the circuit board 6 simple and convenient, and greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the circuit board 6.
