Dual-Block Fluid Valve Structure for Stable Flow Path Sealing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fluid valves experience a gap over time, leading to unstable fluid transportation due to loss of valve function.
Innovation Solution
A communicating structure comprising a first body with a first flow path and a second body with a second flow path, where a first block body can rotate, turn, or move laterally to open the first flow path and push a second block body to open the second flow path, ensuring stable fluid flow.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional valve is used for fluid transportation, then the valve can control fluid flow initially, but after extended use a gap is caused resulting in loss of valve function and failure of stable transportation
Solution Approach 1:
The valve body is divided into a first body and a second body, each with its own block body (first block body and second block body) that can independently move. This segmentation allows each block body to be actuated separately, ensuring that if one block develops a gap or wears, the other can still maintain sealing and control functions, thereby improving reliability and extending service life.
2Device complexity
If a single block body is used to control flow paths, then the structure is simple, but gaps form over time causing loss of function
Solution Approach 1:
Each block body (first block body in first body, second block body in second body) is equipped with independent sealing surfaces and moving mechanisms. This local quality enhancement ensures that each flow path segment maintains its own sealing integrity, preventing gap formation from compromising the entire system. The localized sealing capability improves reliability without requiring excessive overall complexity.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional valve components are used, then manufacturing is straightforward, but gaps develop after extended use leading to functional failure
Solution Approach 1:
The first block body and second block body are pre-configured with communicating portions and sealing surfaces that establish initial contact and sealing when the valve is assembled. This preliminary action of pre-positioning the block bodies ensures that gaps are prevented from forming in the first place, rather than relying on wear compensation after gap formation. The design allows for extended operational durability while maintaining manufacturability through standardized sealing interfaces.

Function Achieved in This Case
The communicating structure enables stable fluid flow by maintaining the integrity of the flow paths, preventing gaps and ensuring continuous transportation of the required fluid.
Implementation Method 1
a first block body can be rotated, turned, moved laterally or moved for a fluid to flow through the first flow path and push the second block body so as to open the second flow path

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a communicating structure including a first body and a second body, and a communicating method thereof. The first body includes a first flow path, a first block body and a communicating portion. The second body includes a second flow path and a second block body. The first block body can be rotated, turned, moved laterally or moved to communicate the communicating portion with the first flow path, for a fluid to flow through the first flow path and the communicating portion to push the second block body, and for the second block body to open the second flow path for the fluid to flow in the first flow path and the second flow path. Thus, a required fluid is enabled to flow stably in the first body and the second body.
