[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a quick-release valve includes a sealing mounting assembly 100, a valve plate 200, a driving device 310, and a support shaft 400. The valve plate 200 is located between two sealing mounting assemblies 100. The driving device 310 is located on the side of the sealing mounting assembly 100 away from the valve plate 200, and the driving device 310 drives the valve plate 200 to rotate through a transmission member 320. The support shaft 400 is detachably inserted through the two sealing mounting assemblies 100, the valve plate 200, and the transmission member 320. A first clamping member 510 is provided at the first end of the support shaft 400, and a second clamping member 520 is provided at the second end of the support shaft 400. The first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 can cooperate with each other to clamp the two sealing mounting assemblies 100, and the first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 can be disengaged to allow the support shaft 400 to be disassembled.

[0030] When the aforementioned quick-release valve is applied to a powder packaging machine, the valve plate 200 is installed in the powder conveying channel of the packaging machine, such as inside the hopper. Two sealing mounting components 100 are correspondingly arranged on opposite sides of the powder conveying channel. The drive device 310 is located on the outside of the powder conveying channel. The support shaft 400 passes through the sealing mounting components 100, the valve plate 200, and the transmission component 320. The first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 cooperate to clamp the two sealing mounting components 100, so that the two sealing mounting components 100 can abut against the outer wall of the powder conveying channel, thereby achieving a seal. During installation, the support shaft 400 can be inserted through the transmission component 320, one of the sealing mounting components 100, one side outer wall of the powder conveying channel, the valve plate 200 in the split conveying channel, and the other sealing mounting component 100. Then, the two sealing mounting components 100 are clamped by the cooperation of the first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520, thereby completing the installation of the quick-release valve. During disassembly, the cooperation of the first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 is released, and then the support shaft 400 is pulled out from the other components to complete the disassembly.

[0031] Therefore, the quick-release valve provided by this utility model can be disassembled and assembled simply by operating the first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 to cooperate or disengage, or by inserting the support shaft 400 into or pulling it out of other components. The disassembly and assembly process is simple and convenient, reducing disassembly and assembly time, improving disassembly and maintenance efficiency, and ensuring the overall production efficiency of the production equipment. In addition, the quick-release valve provided by this utility model completes the installation of the valve plate 200 by inserting the support shaft 400 into the valve plate 200. The sealing component is located outside the powder conveying channel. Thus, the part of the quick-release valve located inside the powder conveying channel does not contain screws, nuts, or other components, eliminating the risk of components falling into the powder conveying channel during equipment operation, and ensuring equipment safety and product safety and hygiene.

[0032] It should be noted that the above-mentioned quick-release valve can also be applied to other equipment that requires the use of flap valves, such as some equipment that mixes multiple powders or granules for production. The quick-release valve can be used to control the input of powders or granules. For specific settings, please refer to the setting method of the quick-release valve in the powder packaging machine.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4According to some embodiments of this utility model, the second clamping member 520 is configured as a knob, which is detachably screwed to the support shaft 400. With the above configuration, the second clamping member 520 and the support shaft 400 are detachably connected. By disassembling the second clamping member 520, the cooperation between the second clamping member 520 and the first clamping member 510 can be released, and the support shaft 400 can be removed from the first clamping member 510. The second clamping member is easy and simple to assemble and disassemble. In addition, the clamping force can be increased or decreased by rotating the second clamping member 520.

[0034] When the valve plate 200 rotates, the clamping force between the first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 and the sealing mounting assembly 100 generates friction, which hinders the rotation of the valve plate 200. Therefore, referring to... Figures 2 to 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a first thrust bearing 610 is abutted at one end of the first clamping member 510 near the valve plate 200, and a second thrust bearing 620 is abutted at one end of the second clamping member 520 near the valve plate 200. A support shaft 400 passes through the first thrust bearing 610 and the second thrust bearing 620. The first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 clamp the sealing mounting assembly 100 by cooperating with each other through the first thrust bearing 610 and the second thrust bearing 620. Thus, while effectively clamping the sealing mounting assembly 100, the frictional force generated by the first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 clamping the sealing mounting assembly 100 during the rotation of the valve plate 200 is reduced, thereby reducing the resistance to the rotation of the valve plate 200.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the first clamping member 510 is rotatably mounted on one end of the support shaft 400. An eccentric cam 511 is provided on the first clamping member 510, which abuts against the first thrust bearing 610. Thus, the first clamping member 510 has a handle structure with an eccentric cam 511. During the disassembly of the quick-release valve, after removing the knob, the first clamping member 510 can be rotated to allow the support shaft 400 to be easily pushed a certain distance towards the first clamping member 510 via the abutting engagement of the eccentric cam 511 and the first thrust bearing 610, thereby facilitating the subsequent removal of the support shaft 400.

[0036] In the specific implementation process, the first clamping member 510 is rotatably mounted on the support shaft 400 via a pin shaft, wherein the pin shaft can be set to be detachable or non-detachable.

[0037] It should be noted that the first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 described above can also be configured in other ways. For example, in some embodiments, both the first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 can be configured as knobs; in other embodiments, when the first clamping member 510 is configured with a rotating handle structure with an eccentric cam 511, the second clamping member 520 can also be configured with a rotating handle structure with an eccentric cam 511. The sizes of the second clamping member 520 and the support shaft 400 should be designed appropriately so that when the second clamping member 520 is rotated to a position parallel to the axis of the support shaft 400, the second clamping member 520 is within the axial projection range of the support shaft 400. At this time, the second clamping member 520 is disengaged from the first clamping member 510, and the support shaft 400 is allowed to be pulled out from the first clamping member 510.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to some embodiments of this utility model, two drive devices 310 and two transmission components 320 are provided, and two sealing mounting assemblies 100 are located between the two transmission components 320. With the above arrangement, the valve plate 200 can be driven to rotate from both sides by the two drive devices 310, so that the valve plate 200 rotates more smoothly.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the driving device 310 includes a cylinder 311. One end of the cylinder 311 is provided with a hinge portion 312 for external rotational connection, and the other end of the cylinder 311 is rotatably connected to the transmission component 320. Thus, the extension and retraction of the cylinder 311 can drive the transmission component 320 to rotate the valve plate 200. When the quick-release valve is applied to a powder packaging machine, the cylinder 311 can be rotatably installed on the powder packaging machine through the hinge portion 312. During the disassembly and assembly of the quick-release valve, the cylinder 311 and the transmission component 320 can swing without disassembling the cylinder 311 or the rotational connection between the cylinder 311 and the transmission component 320, making disassembly and assembly convenient and simple.

[0040] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the drive device 310 described above may also adopt other configurations. For example, the drive device 310 may include a servo motor, and an output gear may be provided on the output shaft of the servo motor. In this case, the transmission component 320 may be provided with teeth to mesh with the output gear for transmission. The transmission component 320 and the output gear are not connected, making disassembly and assembly convenient and simple.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 4According to some embodiments of this utility model, two valve plates 200 are provided. A bushing 210 is provided at one end of each valve plate 200 facing away from each other. A support shaft 400 passes through the bushing 210. Two sealing mounting components 100 are correspondingly fitted onto the two bushings 210. The two bushings 210 are correspondingly inserted into two transmission components 320 so that the transmission components 320 can drive the corresponding bushing 210 to rotate. The two transmission components 320 are located between the first thrust bearing 610 and the second thrust bearing 620. The transmission components 320 abut against the corresponding thrust bearing and the sealing mounting component 100. Thus, the first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 clamp the two transmission components 320 and the two sealing mounting components 100 through the two thrust bearings. The bushing 210 can be configured to rotate relative to the support shaft 400. Therefore, the two driving devices 310 can each drive one valve plate 200 to rotate, achieving independent rotation of the two valve plates 200.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the quick-release valve can be configured such that the transmission component 320 can rotate relative to the sealing mounting assembly 100. Of course, it can also be configured such that the transmission component 320 can drive the sealing mounting assembly 100 to rotate.

[0043] In the specific implementation process, a rolling bearing 710 is installed at the end of the sealing mounting assembly 100 away from the valve plate 200, and the bushing 210 passes through the rolling bearing 710. The setting of the rolling bearing 710 allows the sealing mounting assembly 100 and the bushing 210 to rotate relative to each other more flexibly.

[0044] Reference Figures 2 to 4 According to some embodiments of this utility model, a shaft-side limiting sleeve 720 abuts against the corresponding rolling bearing 710, and a bushing 210 passes through the shaft-side limiting sleeve 720. The shaft-side limiting sleeve 720 allows the transmission member 320 to abut against the rolling bearing 710, thereby restricting the rolling bearing 710 from sliding axially away from the mounting base 110 and allowing relative rotation between the rolling bearing 710 and the transmission member 320.

[0045] Reference Figures 2 to 4According to some embodiments of this utility model, the sealing mounting assembly 100 includes an annular mounting base 110 and two shaft seals 120. Each shaft seal 120 is an annular sealing component for sealing a shaft. One shaft seal 120 is located within the mounting base 110 near the valve plate 200, and the other shaft seal 120 is located within the mounting base 110. The mounting base 110 has an inflation chamber 111 and an inflation port 112 communicating with the inflation chamber 111. The inflation chamber 111 is located between the two shaft seals 120, and a support shaft 400 passes through the inflation chamber 111 and the two shaft seals 120. With this configuration, compressed gas can be injected into the inflation chamber 111 through the inflation port 112, creating a slightly positive pressure within the inflation chamber 111. Therefore, the entire sealing mounting assembly 100 can form an effective dynamic seal, achieving zero powder leakage.

[0046] The two shaft seals 120 are assembled with the mounting base 110 to form a sealing mounting assembly 100. During the disassembly and assembly of the quick-release valve, the sealing mounting assembly 100 can be disassembled and assembled as a whole, simplifying the disassembly and assembly process.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 In the specific implementation process, the mounting base 110 is provided with a limiting hole 113 for insertion with an external structure. A limiting protrusion can be provided on the packaging machine. The limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting hole 113 to restrict the rotation of the mounting base 110 relative to the packaging machine.

[0048] When the aforementioned quick-release valve is applied to a powder packaging machine, the specific installation process of the quick-release valve may include: Installation step 1, firstly, placing the first valve plate 200 into the powder conveying channel, then inserting the support shaft 400 into the first valve plate 200 from one side of the powder conveying channel, then placing the second valve plate 200 into the powder conveying channel, and finally passing the support shaft 400 through the second valve plate 200 and the other side wall of the powder conveying channel; Installation step 2, completing the installation of the sealing mounting assembly 100, transmission component 320, or other components on one end of the support shaft 400; Installation step 3, completing the installation of the sealing mounting assembly 100, transmission component 320, or other components on the other end of the support shaft 400; Installation step 4, completing the clamping of the sealing mounting assembly 100 and other components by the first clamping component 510 and the second clamping component 520. In the specific implementation process, you can complete installation step 1 first, and then complete installation steps 2 to 4. Installation steps 2 and 3 can be carried out simultaneously or in stages; or, you can complete installation step 2 first, then complete installation steps 1 and 3, and finally complete installation step 4.

[0049] When the aforementioned quick-release valve is applied to a powder packaging machine, the specific disassembly process may include: disassembly step 1, releasing the clamping engagement between the first clamping member 510 and the second clamping member 520 and removing the second clamping member 520; disassembly step 2, detaching the sealing mounting assembly 100, transmission member 320, or other components on one end of the support shaft 400 from the support shaft 400; disassembly step 3, detaching the sealing mounting assembly 100, transmission member 320, or other components on the other end of the support shaft 400 from the support shaft 400; disassembly step 4, detaching the support shaft 400 from the two valve plates 200 and removing the support shaft 400 from the powder conveying channel. In specific implementation, disassembly steps 2 and 3 can be performed separately or simultaneously. Furthermore, in some embodiments, disassembly steps 2, 4, and 3 can be completed sequentially by pulling the support shaft 400.

[0050] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
