Detailed Implementation
[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] In related technical solutions, such as the gate valve in the background technology, a forging process is used to integrally form the valve. The forging process involves applying external force to cause plastic deformation of the metal to obtain a gate valve forging with a predetermined shape and size. The filling pipe and / or the transition part where the internal connecting pipe of the gate valve forging connects to the valve body are prone to cracking under the combined effects of various factors such as fluid pressure, temperature changes, and pipeline vibration over a long period of time.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the shut-off valve in an embodiment of this utility model, and an isometric view. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Exploded view; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Cross-sectional view; Figure 4 yes Figure 2 Cross-sectional view.
[0037] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a shut-off valve. The shut-off valve includes at least one of a filling receiving portion 4 housing a filling member 41 and an indoor unit connection portion 7 for connection to an indoor unit, a valve stem receiving portion 3 housing a valve stem member 31, and a valve body 2 having a valve port portion 11a. In this application, the shut-off valve has a valve stem receiving portion 3 and a valve body 2, and also includes one of the indoor unit connection portion 7 and the filling receiving portion 4, or both. At least two of the valve body 2, valve stem receiving portion 3, filling receiving portion 4, and indoor unit connection portion 7 are individually machined and then connected to form an integral structure.
[0038] The valve body 2, valve stem receiving part 3, filling receiving part 4, and indoor unit connection part 7 can be any two of the following as separate components.
[0039] It can also be any three of them as separate components.
[0040] Alternatively, the valve body 2, valve stem receiving part 3, filling receiving part 4, and indoor unit connection part 7 can all be separate components.
[0041] The valve body 2, valve stem receiving part 3, filling receiving part 4, and / or internal connection part 7, which are separate components, are connected to form an integral structure. This reduces or avoids cracking in the stress concentration areas of the gate valve, and improves the gate valve's resistance to deformation under high pressure conditions.
[0042] In some specific examples, the shut-off valve includes an indoor unit connection part 7. The indoor unit connection part 7 can be a valve body integrally machined with the valve body 2, or it can be a valve body with an integral structure formed by connecting the indoor unit connection part 7 separately to the valve body 2. The valve body is provided with a valve port part 11a.
[0043] The opening and closing of the valve port 11a is achieved by controlling the valve stem 31.
[0044] The valve stem 31 is movably accommodated within the valve stem receiving portion 3. The valve stem 31 and the valve stem receiving portion 3 form a threaded pair, and the circumferential rotation of the valve stem 31 can be converted into longitudinal linear movement, thereby pressing against the valve port 11a to close the valve or moving away from the valve port 11a to open the valve.
[0045] The valve stem receiving part 3 can be machined separately and then connected to the valve body 2, or it can be machined integrally with the valve body 2.
[0046] For example, the shut-off valve also includes a filling receiving portion 4. The filling receiving portion 4 can be integrally formed with the valve body 2. Alternatively, it can be a structure in which the filling receiving portion 4 and the valve body 2 are machined separately and then connected to form a whole.
[0047] For example, the shut-off valve also includes an indoor unit connection portion 7. The indoor unit connection portion 7 is located horizontally opposite the filling receiving portion 4 along the shut-off valve. Thus, when the indoor unit connection portion 7 is provided and is connected to the indoor unit, both vacuuming and filling operations can be performed on the indoor unit through the filling receiving portion 4.
[0048] Example 1
[0049] The following example, shown in the accompanying drawings, illustrates a specific scheme of this application.
[0050] In the example shown in the figure, the valve body 2 is connected to the indoor unit connection part 7, and the indoor unit connection part 7 and the valve body 2 are integrally formed, and the two constitute the valve body.
[0051] A connecting channel 1 is formed inside the valve body. One end of the connecting channel 1 is connected to the corresponding pipe of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner through the valve body, and the other end of the connecting channel can be connected to the corresponding pipe of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
[0052] The connecting channel 1 is located within the valve body and is L-shaped to form a transverse section 11 and a vertical section 12. The vertical section 12 extends longitudinally and penetrates part of the wall of the transverse section 11 to form the aforementioned valve port 11a. The transverse section 11 is located in the indoor unit connection section 7, and the vertical section 12 is located in the valve body 2. The vertical section 12 penetrates the lower end face of the valve body 2 to form an outdoor unit connection port that communicates with the outdoor unit.
[0053] The valve body 2 has a regular hexahedral structure, having an upper wall portion 21 and a lower wall portion 24 opposite to the upper wall portion 21 along the longitudinal direction of the shut-off valve. Here, "upper" and "lower" refer to... Figure 3 The longitudinal direction of the stop valve is defined by reference and corresponds to the vertical direction on the paper.
[0054] The upper wall portion 21 is connected to the valve stem receiving portion 3, and the valve port portion 11a is formed in the lower wall portion 24, which is used to connect to the outdoor unit. Here, the outdoor unit refers to the outdoor unit of the air conditioning system, and the aforementioned indoor unit refers to the indoor unit of the air conditioning system. The indoor unit connection portion 7 is indirectly connected to the indoor unit through a pipe.
[0055] In this embodiment, the lower wall portion 24 with valve port portion 11a is used to connect with the outdoor unit, and the valve stem receiving portion 3, which accommodates the valve stem 31, is provided on the upper wall portion 21. The valve stem 31 moves longitudinally to press against the valve port portion 11a to close the shut-off valve or moves away from the valve port portion 11a to open the shut-off valve. The movement of the valve stem 31 is achieved by external rotation by the operator. By providing the valve stem receiving portion 3 longitudinally on the side of the valve body away from the outdoor unit, interference between the sheet metal parts and the outdoor unit can be avoided when operating the valve stem 31.
[0056] To achieve a high-strength connection between the valve stem receiving portion 3 and the valve body 2, the upper wall portion 21 is provided with a first mounting hole 22. Part of the aforementioned longitudinal section serves as the first mounting hole 22. The inner cavity of the tubular valve stem receiving portion 3 is connected to the longitudinal section along the longitudinal direction through a part of the transverse section 11 and is opposite to the valve port portion 11a along the longitudinal direction of the shut-off valve.
[0057] The first mounting hole 22 has a socket formed on the surface of the upper wall portion 21. A portion of the valve stem receiving portion 3 is inserted into the first mounting hole 22 through the socket and is fixedly connected to the first mounting hole 22 by welding.
[0058] Under the action of external force, the valve stem 31 can move down from the inner cavity of the valve stem receiving portion 3 to the transverse section 11 and abut against the valve port portion 11a provided on the wall of the transverse section 11 to close the valve. Alternatively, it can move away from the valve port portion 11a from the transverse section 11 toward the inner cavity of the valve stem receiving portion 3 to close the valve.
[0059] By inserting the valve stem receiving part 3 into the first mounting hole 22 and forming a fixed connection with the first mounting hole 22, the coaxiality of the valve body can be guaranteed while achieving a reliable connection between the valve stem receiving part 3 and the valve body.
[0060] Optionally, the first mounting hole 22 is provided with a first support ring wall 23, which protrudes radially inward and is longitudinally opposite to the end face of the valve stem receiving portion 3. When the valve stem receiving portion 3 is located inside the first mounting hole 22, it abuts against the first support ring wall 23 longitudinally.
[0061] By setting the first support ring wall 23 to abut against the valve stem receiving part 3 in the longitudinal direction to form a longitudinal limit, the connection area between the valve body and the valve stem receiving part 3 is also increased.
[0062] In this embodiment, although the indoor unit connection part 7 and the valve body 2 are integrally formed, the surface of the indoor unit connection part 7 extends longitudinally beyond the first support ring wall 23 and is close to the upper wall part 21. In this way, cracking can be further avoided at the transition part where the indoor unit connection part 7 connects to the valve body 2.
[0063] Optionally, the gate valve further includes a first connector made of solder, part of which is located between the valve stem receiving portion 3 and the first support ring wall 23, and part of which is located between the valve stem receiving portion 3 and the wall of the first mounting hole 22. This allows for the formation of a first connector structure that is close to a flange, increasing the connection area between the valve stem receiving portion 3 and the valve body 2.
[0064] In this way, during the welding process, the solder can spread to the area between the valve stem receiving part 3 and the first support ring wall 23, as well as the area between the valve stem receiving part 3 and the hole wall of the first mounting hole 22, increasing the connection strength between the valve stem receiving part 3 and the valve body.
[0065] The valve body 2 has a first side wall portion 25 and a second side wall portion arranged opposite to each other in the transverse direction. The first side wall portion 25 is used to connect the filling and receiving portion 4, and the internal unit connection portion 7 is provided on the second side wall portion.
[0066] Therefore, when the indoor unit connection part 7 is provided and the indoor unit connection part 7 is connected to the indoor unit, the indoor unit can be vacuumed through the filling container part 4, and the filling operation can also be performed through the filling container part 4.
[0067] Specifically, the first sidewall portion 25 is provided with a second mounting hole 26. A portion of the transverse section 11 extends beyond the valve port portion 11a, and the portion extending beyond the valve port portion 11a serves as the second mounting hole 26, which forms an insertion slot on the surface of the first sidewall portion 25.
[0068] The filling and receiving portion 4 has a plug end 42 and a body portion 43. The radial dimension of the body portion 43 is larger than the radial dimension of the plug end 42. That is, the plug end 42 is formed on the end face of the body portion 43 facing the first side wall portion 25 and is concentrically disposed with the body portion 43.
[0069] The plug end 42 is inserted into the second mounting hole 26 and welded to the second mounting hole 26. The end face of the main body 43 presses against the surface of the first side wall 25 to form a lateral stop and limit.
[0070] In this way, cracking in the transition area where the filling chamber 4 connects to the valve body can be reduced or avoided.
[0071] Optionally, the first sidewall portion 25 also forms an annular filler groove 27. The filler groove 27 is used to accommodate solder. The filler groove 27 is disposed around the second mounting hole 26, and the surface of the first sidewall portion 25 is provided with an end slot of the filler groove 27. The end face of the body portion 43 covers the end slot. The end slot is spaced apart from or connected to the insertion port of the second mounting hole 26.
[0072] A second annular wall 28 is also provided inside the second mounting hole 26. The second annular wall 28 is parallel to the surface of the main body 43, and the insertion end 42 covers the side slot and presses against the second annular wall 28.
[0073] By providing a packing groove 27 to accommodate the welding material, the welding of the filling and receiving part 4 to the valve body can be achieved.
[0074] With the packing groove 27 connected to the second mounting hole 26, the packing groove 27 extends radially along the second mounting hole 26 and penetrates the wall of the second mounting hole 26 to form a side groove.
[0075] In this way, the solder set in the filler groove 27 can spread through the side groove opening to the area between the plug end 42 and the second mounting hole 26 and the area between the second annular wall 28 and the plug end 42.
[0076] Optionally, the gate valve further includes a second connector made of solder. Part of the second connector is located in the packing groove 27, and part is located between the surface of the body portion 43 and the first sidewall portion 25 and the end face of the body portion 43. Part is located between the second mounting hole 26 and the insertion end 42; and part is located between the second annular wall 28 and the end face of the insertion end 42. This forms a Z-shaped connection area. This further improves the connection strength between the filling receiving portion 4 and the valve body.
[0077] In all the above solutions, the shut-off valve also includes a mounting plate 5, the middle of which extends beyond both ends of the mounting plate 5; the valve body 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting plate 5. A through hole is provided in the middle of the mounting plate 5, which communicates with the longitudinal section for the pipe fitting 6 to pass through. Both ends of the mounting plate 5 are fixedly connected to the outdoor unit through sheet metal parts, thereby realizing the connection between the valve body 2 and the outdoor unit.
[0078] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
