Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of Internet of Things (IoT) balance valve technology, specifically the field of IoT balance valve technology. Background Technology
[0002] The IoT-enabled balancing valve, which can operate underwater, is a smart valve that integrates IoT technology. It is designed specifically for underwater or humid environments, featuring a waterproof sealing structure and remote monitoring capabilities. Its core purpose is to optimize hydraulic balance by monitoring and adjusting the flow, pressure, and temperature of underwater pipeline systems in real time. It is suitable for applications such as wastewater treatment, marine engineering, and underwater heating.
[0003] In existing technologies, after the two ends of the IoT balancing valve are connected to the pipeline, the valve body is usually suspended in the water. Because the valve has a certain weight, the suspension effect caused by the weight of the valve body will continuously act on the connection part, resulting in increased stress at the connection between the valve body and the pipeline. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an IoT balance valve that can operate under water immersion, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an IoT balance valve that can operate under water immersion, including a valve body, with clamps installed at both ends of the valve body, and a first mounting frame connected between the bottom sides of the two sets of clamps, a connecting rod connected in the middle of the first mounting frame, and a ball at the other end of the connecting rod, the ball being ball-connected to a connecting seat, and a main float plate connected to one end of the connecting seat.
[0006] A first threaded cylinder is fixedly connected to the middle of the first mounting bracket. A screw is threadedly connected inside the first threaded cylinder. An extension rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the screw. The first threaded cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the extension rod. A screw is also installed on the end of the connecting rod away from the ball.
[0007] The main float plate has grooves on both sides of its edge. A slider is slidably connected inside the groove. The groove and one end of the slider are fixed by a first screw. A first secondary float plate is fixed to one side of the slider, and a groove is also provided on the other side of the first secondary float plate.
[0008] The main float plate has symmetrical mounting holes at its four corners. Each mounting hole is fitted with a second screw, and a second auxiliary float plate is mounted on the bottom of the main float plate through multiple sets of second screws.
[0009] A second mounting bracket is connected between the top sides of the two sets of clamps, and a second threaded cylinder is fixedly connected to the middle of the second mounting bracket.
[0010] The inner side of the clamp is provided with a rubber layer.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention uses a screw and a first threaded cylinder to adjust the length of the extension rod combination to adapt to different water depths. The slider slides in the groove to expand the width of the main float plate. The second screw superimposes the second auxiliary float plate to adjust the thickness. The ball joint design of the sphere allows the main float plate to swing and relieve force. Ultimately, the buoyancy system is three-dimensionally adjustable in depth, width and thickness, which counteracts the hanging effect caused by the self-weight of the valve body and reduces the impact on the pipe connection parts.

[0014] 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.
[0015] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, an IoT balancing valve capable of operating under water immersion includes a valve body 1. Clamps 2 are installed at both ends of the valve body 1. A first mounting bracket 3 is connected between the bottom sides of the two clamps 2. A connecting rod 4 is connected to the middle of the first mounting bracket 3, and a ball 5 is provided at the other end of the connecting rod 4. The ball 5 is ball-connected to a connecting seat 6, and one end of the connecting seat 6 is connected to a main float 7. The valve body 1 is the main part of the balancing valve and is responsible for controlling the water flow. The clamps 2 are used to securely connect the first mounting bracket 3 to the valve body 1. The ball-connection design of the ball 5 allows the connecting seat 6 and the main float 7 to swing at a certain angle under the action of water flow or external force, reducing the stress on the connecting rod 4 and the first mounting bracket 3. The main float 7 provides upward buoyancy, reducing the impact of the valve body 1's own weight on the connection parts.
[0016] Furthermore, a first threaded cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the first mounting bracket 3. A screw 9 is threadedly connected inside the first threaded cylinder 8. An extension rod 10 is fixedly connected to the other end of the screw 9. The first threaded cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the extension rod 10. A screw 9 is also installed on the end of the connecting rod 4 away from the ball 5. The first threaded cylinder 8 is used to connect with the screw 9 by thread. The extension rod 10 is used to extend the distance between the valve body 1 and the main float 7. Multiple sets of extension rods 10 can be set. Multiple sets of extension rods 10 can be quickly installed between each other through the first threaded cylinder 8 and the screw 9 to adjust the distance between the valve body 1 and the main float 7. This ensures that the main float 7 provides sufficient buoyancy in different water depth environments by adjusting the overall length of the extension rod 10 to adapt to different working conditions.
[0017] Furthermore, grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the main float plate 7. A slider 12 is slidably connected inside the groove 11. The groove 11 and one end of the slider 12 are fixed by a first screw 14. A first auxiliary float plate 13 is fixed to one side of the slider 12, and a groove 11 is also provided on the other side of the first auxiliary float plate 13. The first auxiliary float plate 13 is connected to the main float plate 7 through the slider 12 to expand the overall width of the main float plate 7. At the same time, a groove 11 is also provided on the other side of the first auxiliary float plate 13 to allow the addition of a second auxiliary float plate 16 or other expansion components, so as to realize multi-level width adjustment, achieve flexible configuration and adjustment of the width of the main float plate 7, and adapt to different water flow conditions and working environment.
[0018] Furthermore, the main float plate 7 has symmetrical mounting holes 15 at its four corners. The mounting holes 15 are equipped with second screws 17, and the bottom of the main float plate 7 is fitted with a second auxiliary float plate 16 through multiple sets of second screws 17. The mounting holes 15 are used to cooperate with the second screws 17 to install the second auxiliary float plate 16 or other expansion parts. Through the cooperation of the mounting holes 15 and the second screws 17, the thickness of the main float plate 7 can be adjusted to adapt to different working conditions and needs. According to actual needs, the number and thickness of the second auxiliary float plate 16 can be flexibly selected and adjusted to achieve different levels of thickness adjustment.
[0019] Furthermore, a second mounting bracket 18 is connected between the top sides of the two sets of clamps 2, and a second threaded cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the middle of the second mounting bracket 18; when the valve body 1 is a large valve, such as DN300 or above, a double float plate design can be adopted, and the second threaded cylinder 19 facilitates the subsequent installation of the above-mentioned buoyancy mechanism on the top of the valve body 1 as needed.
[0020] Furthermore, a rubber layer is provided on the inner side of the clamp 2; wherein the rubber layer is provided on the inner side of the clamp 2 to enhance the friction between the inner side of the clamp 2 and the outer wall of the valve body 1, thereby improving the stability of the connection.
[0021] During operation, the screw 9 and the first threaded cylinder 8 work together, and multiple sets of extension rods 10 are added as needed to adapt to different water depth environments, ensuring that the main float plate 7 provides sufficient buoyancy. The sliding slider 12 moves within the slide groove 11 to adjust the position of the first auxiliary float plate 13 and expand the width of the main float plate 7. As needed, a second auxiliary float plate 16 or other extension components are added to the other side of the first auxiliary float plate 13 to achieve multi-level width adjustment. The second auxiliary float plate 16 is installed at the bottom of the main float plate 7 through the second screw 17 to adjust the overall thickness of the float plate. The number and thickness of the second auxiliary float plate 16 can be flexibly selected and adjusted according to actual needs to achieve different levels of thickness adjustment. During operation, the ball joint design of the ball 5 allows the connecting seat 6 and the main float plate 7 to swing within a certain angle, reducing stress.
