[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings: like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses an automatic control valve device based on liquid level float drive, including a main housing 1, a float seat 2 provided at the open end of the main housing 1, a sealing assembly 3 provided between the float seat 2 and the main housing 1; a float assembly 4 that can move up and down relative to the float seat 2 is provided inside the float seat 2, and the sealing assembly 3 and the float seat 2 surround to form a back pressure chamber 5.

[0016] The float assembly 4 includes a float rod 41 and a float body 42. The float body 42 is mounted on the float rod 41 and is located on the outside of the float seat 2. The float rod 41 is provided with a first sealing ring 43 and can move up and down relative to the float seat 2. The open end of the float seat 2 is provided with a guide limiting part 44, the outer contour of which is adapted to the outer contour of the float rod 41. The float rod 41 is provided with a groove 45, and the first sealing ring 43 is provided in the groove 45. The groove 45 is located near the bottom of the float rod 41. The inner wall of the float seat 2 is provided with an inclined sealing part 46. When the float rod 41 floats up with the float body 42, the first sealing ring 43 abuts against the inclined sealing part 46. The float seat 2 is also provided with a pressure relief port 47, which is located above the back pressure chamber 5. The pressure relief port 47 is located between the float body 42 and the first sealing ring 43, and the pressure relief port 47 is located close to the float body 42. When the float rod 41 floats, the pressure relief port 47 is in a conductive state.

[0017] The sealing assembly 3 includes a sealing ring body 31 and a sealing ring bracket 32. The sealing ring body 31 is provided with a pressure inlet 33 that connects to the back pressure chamber 5. The main housing 1 is provided with a water inlet 6 and a water outlet 7, and the back pressure chamber 5 is located between the water inlet 6 and the water outlet 7. The sealing ring body 31 is mounted on the sealing ring bracket 32, and the edge sealing portion of the sealing ring body 31 is installed between the main housing 1 and the float seat 2. The center of the sealing ring body 31 abuts against the water outlet 7, and the pressure inlet 33 is located between the water inlet 6 and the back pressure chamber 5. A float rod 41 is floatingly installed inside the float seat 2, and the open end of the float seat is provided with a pressure relief port 47, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the pressure inlet 33. The inlet 6 and outlet 7 are arranged adjacent to each other. The outer layer of the inlet 6 is provided with several second sealing rings 8 for sealing. The sealing assembly 3 is arranged between the main housing 1 and the float seat 2. The main housing 1 and the float seat 2 are provided with buckles 9 for fixing the two.

[0018] The specific operation process of this embodiment is as follows. This utility model often needs to be used in conjunction with the water storage chamber of a household appliance. When the water storage chamber is in the water-inlet state, liquid enters from the water inlet 6 of the main housing 1, and the liquid enters the back pressure chamber 5 from the pressure inlet 33 on the sealing ring body 31. Since the water storage chamber starts to enter water at this time, the liquid level is low. Thus, the first sealing ring 43 on the float rod 41 is set away from the inclined sealing part 46, and the open end of the float seat 2 is in the conductive state. The liquid in the back pressure chamber 5 can be discharged from the open end of the float seat 2. At this time, the back pressure chamber 5 is in an unclosed state, and pressure can be continuously released through the pressure relief port 47 on the float seat 2. Since the orifice diameter of the pressure relief port 47 is set larger than the orifice diameter of the pressure inlet 33, the pressure in the back pressure chamber 5 is less than the pressure in the chamber where the water inlet 6 is located. Under the action of water pressure, the center of the sealing ring body 31 is pushed away from the sealing end of the water outlet 7. Then the water outlet 7 is in the open state, and the liquid can be continuously discharged from the water outlet 7.

[0019] As the liquid level in the water storage chamber rises, the main shell 1 will be in a water-blocking and closed state. The float body 42 rises with the liquid level, and when the float body 42 rises, it drives the float rod 41 to rise. In this way, the first sealing ring 43 on the float rod 41 will abut against the inclined sealing part 46, and the open end of the float seat 2 will be in an isolated state. At this time, the back pressure chamber 5 is in a closed state and cannot be depressurized through the pressure relief port 47. The water pressure in the back pressure chamber 5 is the same as the pressure in the chamber where the water inlet 6 is located in the main shell 1. At this time, the water pressure at the outlet 7 is less than the water pressure at the inlet 6 and the back pressure chamber 5. The back pressure chamber 5 generates downward pressure, causing the sealing ring body 31 to press against the sealing end of the outlet 7, thereby achieving the water-blocking state of the main shell 1.

[0020] When the water inlet 6 stops supplying water, the pressure inside the main housing 1 disappears; as the user continues to use water, the liquid level in the water storage chamber drops, and the float body 42 descends. Thus, the float rod 41 and the first sealing ring 43 return to their initial positions under the action of gravity, and the main housing 1 is reopened.

[0021] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
