Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of three-way valve technology, and in particular to a durable three-way valve. Background Technology
[0002] A three-way valve is a key pipeline control component that changes the direction of fluid flow through valve core displacement. Its unique three-channel design (typically one inlet and two outlets or two inlets and one outlet) enables flexible switching and allocation of a single path to multiple branches, making it widely used in heating, chemical, and water supply systems. Its core functions include flow diversion, merging, and flow regulation. With advantages such as compact structure, reliable sealing, and convenient operation, it is an indispensable industrial component for optimizing processes and achieving precise media guidance.
[0003] Three-way valves are typically made of plastic and metal. Plastic three-way valves are low-cost and practical. However, when buried underground or fixed in a confined space, they are in long-term contact with humid or dry environments, which leads to aging of the valve body surface. Aging can result in powdery particles, affecting the overall service life of the valve body and thus increasing the cost of using the valve.
[0004] To address this, we designed a durable three-way valve. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem of short service life of existing valve bodies and to propose a durable three-way valve.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A durable three-way valve includes a valve body, a first pipe body disposed at the bottom of the valve body, and a second pipe body disposed on the side wall of the first pipe body, and further includes: The protection component includes a first copper shell disposed on a first pipe body, a first grid disposed on the first copper shell, a second copper shell disposed on a second pipe body, a second grid disposed on the second copper shell, a fixed cylinder disposed within the valve body, an auxiliary component disposed on the fixed cylinder, and an adjusting component disposed within the valve body.
[0007] Preferably, the first copper shell is adapted to the first tube body, the first grille is fixed to the first copper shell, the second copper shell is adapted to the second tube body, and the second grille is fixed to the second copper shell.
[0008] Preferably, the auxiliary component includes an outer ring disposed on the fixed cylinder, a connecting rod symmetrically disposed on the outer ring, a vertical rod disposed on the connecting rod, a screw disposed inside the vertical rod, a slider disposed on the screw, and a plurality of auxiliary strips disposed on the slider.
[0009] Preferably, the fixed cylinder is fixed to the top of the valve body, the outer ring is fixed to the connecting rod, the vertical rod has a slot, the screw is adapted to the slot, the slider is slidably connected on the screw, and the plurality of auxiliary strips are fixed to the side wall of the slider.
[0010] Preferably, the adjusting assembly includes an adjusting cylinder disposed within the valve body and an adjusting wheel disposed on the adjusting cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, the valve body has a mating ring at the bottom, an extended pad at the top, a first flat bottom at the bottom of the first copper shell, and a second flat bottom at the bottom of the second copper shell.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By setting up the first copper shell and the second copper shell, this utility model can effectively improve the durability of the first pipe and the second pipe underground when the valve body is buried underground, delay the damage of moisture to the valve body, and at the same time, the first grid and the second grid can increase the adaptability of the underground, improve the firmness after adhering to the soil, avoid the ground vibration from affecting the normal use of the valve body, thereby reducing the aging of the valve body as a whole and thus improving its service life.
[0013] 2. With the screw and auxiliary strip, when personnel need to excavate the valve body from the ground, the auxiliary strip can be moved upward by rotating the screw. Repeated rotation of the screw can loosen the soil around the auxiliary strip, making it easier for personnel to dig open the hard ground, avoiding damage to the valve body caused by forcibly breaking the ground, thereby improving the efficiency of valve body excavation.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Reference Figures 1-5 A durable three-way valve includes a valve body 1, a first pipe body 2 disposed at the bottom of the valve body 1, and a second pipe body 3 disposed on the side wall of the first pipe body 2. It also includes a protective component, which effectively improves the durability of the valve body 1, the first pipe body 2, and the second pipe body 3, reduces aging caused by underground moisture, and further extends the service life of the valve body 1. Before installing valve body 1, the first pipe body 2 and the second pipe body 3 should be installed at the bottom of valve body 1 to ensure that they can be adjusted normally. Then, the protective components are installed on valve body 1, the first pipe body 2 and the second pipe body 3 to increase the durability of the three and delay the wear and tear of moisture on valve body 1.
[0018] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The protection components include a first copper shell 201 disposed on the first tube body 2, a first grid 202 disposed on the first copper shell 201, a second copper shell 301 disposed on the second tube body 3, a second grid 302 disposed on the second copper shell 301, a fixed cylinder 5 disposed in the valve body 1, an auxiliary component disposed on the fixed cylinder 5, and an adjustment component disposed in the valve body 1. The first copper shell 201 is adapted to the first tube body 2, the first grille 202 is fixed to the first copper shell 201, the second copper shell 301 is adapted to the second tube body 3, and the second grille 302 is fixed to the second copper shell 301. First, weld the two first copper shells 201 to the first grille 202. The first grilles 202 need to be evenly arranged on one side of the first copper shells 201 to ensure that there is enough space when the first copper shells 201 are fitted onto the first tube 2. Then, fit the two first copper shells 201 onto the first tube 2. At this time, the first grilles 202 at both ends will abut against the valve body 1. Then, the first grilles 202 facing away from the second tube 3 can be connected by multiple copper strips, so that the two first grilles 202 can be connected by welding copper strips and then fixed under the valve body 1. Then, fix the second copper shell 301 and the second grille 302 to each other by welding. Then, fit the second copper shell 301 onto the second tube 3. At this time, the second grille 302 will cross the first grilles 202 on both sides. The excessive length of the crossing needs to be cut off by a cutting machine to ensure that the second grille 302 is inserted normally and abuts against the first grille 202. Then, weld the abutting part to fix it. Then, install the fixing cylinder 5 and auxiliary components on the valve body 1. Then, install the adjusting components.
[0019] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The auxiliary components include an outer ring 501 disposed on the fixed cylinder 5, a connecting rod symmetrically disposed on the outer ring 501, a vertical rod 502 disposed on the connecting rod, a screw 503 disposed in the vertical rod 502, a slider 504 disposed on the screw 503, and a plurality of auxiliary strips 505 disposed on the slider 504. The fixed cylinder 5 is fixed to the top of the valve body 1, the outer ring 501 is fixed to the connecting rod, the vertical rod 502 has a slot, the screw 503 is adapted to the slot, the slider 504 is slidably connected on the screw 503, and multiple auxiliary strips 505 are fixed to the side wall of the slider 504. First, fix the fixed cylinder 5 above the valve body 1, and fix the outer ring 501 above the fixed cylinder 5 with rivets. Then, weld the two connecting rods to the outer ring 501. Next, clean the slot of the vertical rod 502, place the screw 503 in the slot, and fix the bottom with a bearing. Then, put the slider 504 on the screw 503 and slide it down to the lower part of the screw 503 by rotation. Then, fix the multiple auxiliary strips 505 to the slider 504 with rivets. Finally, weld the vertical rod 502 to the side wall of the connecting rod. It should be noted that by rotating the screw 503 to make the slider 504 rise and fall within the vertical rod 502, the auxiliary bar 505 will loosen the soil around the valve body 1, making it easier for personnel to remove the soil around the valve body 1 and thus dismantle the valve body 1 as a whole.
[0020] Reference Figure 4 The regulating assembly includes a regulating cylinder 4 disposed inside the valve body 1 and a regulating wheel 401 disposed on the regulating cylinder 4; The aforementioned regulating cylinder 4 and regulating wheel 401 are both regulating structures commonly used in three-way valves. The regulating cylinder 4 is connected to the valve body 1 to open and release water from the pipe opening, while the regulating wheel 401 is operated manually to open and close the valve body 1.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The valve body 1 has a docking ring 101 at the bottom and an extension pad 102 at the top. The first copper shell 201 has a first flat bottom 203 at the bottom and the second copper shell 301 has a second flat bottom 303 at the bottom. The mating ring 101 is a component used for the valve body 1 to connect with the two first pipe bodies 2. It is usually connected by threads. The top extension pad 102 is a horizontal line used when the top of the valve body 1 is exposed on the ground and the soil is buried. The first flat bottom 203 and the second flat bottom 303 can improve the stability of the first pipe body 2 and the second pipe body 3 during installation.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When valve body 1 needs to be installed, firstly, the first copper shell 201 and the second copper shell 301 are welded and fixed together and then fitted together. Then, valve body 1 is connected to the first pipe body 2 through the connecting ring 101. After that, the first pipe body 2 and the second pipe body 3 are buried in the soil and connected to the connecting pipe body. Then, valve body 1 can be buried. When the buried soil is higher than the adjusting wheel 401, the top of valve body 1 can be covered with plastic sheeting to reduce soil falling into the fixing cylinder 5. When valve body 1 needs to be removed later, the screws 503 on both sides can be rotated to make the auxiliary strip 505 touch the soil to make it soft, so that it is easier for personnel to remove the soil.
[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
