Description
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of valves, in particular to a valve and a hot water system thereof.
Background
When the existing water heater is used, a user needs to put a section of cold water before using hot water each time, especially in winter with low air temperature, tap water is enabled to flow away, a lot of time is delayed, and the use experience is greatly affected. This is a major difficulty in use that is common to the water heater industry.
In order to solve the problem, a preheating circulation water return valve is arranged between a hot water outlet pipe and a cold water pipe of a water heater in the prior art, a preheating circulation pipeline is established between a water consumption point and the water heater in a mode that the cold water pipe is used as a water return pipe, and low-temperature water is conveyed into the water heater for heating through the preheating circulation pipeline in a non-water consumption state until the water temperature in the circulation pipeline is kept at a set water temperature.
The existing water return valve is easy to cause the following problems in the use process:
1. when the household water pressure of a user is relatively high or the water resistance of a hot water pipeline is relatively low, the existing water return valve is easy to open by mistake when the user opens cold water, so that the problem of hot water output is caused, and the use experience of the user is affected.
2. To avoid false opening of the water return valve when a user turns on the cold water, the water return valve may be provided with a flow restriction structure (commonly referred to as "water restriction") at the cold water outlet to reduce the cold water outlet flow. However, this tends to result in a relatively small flow rate of cold water to the user, sometimes even less than 4L/min, which has a large adverse effect on the user's water use experience.
3. Even if the cold water outlet of the water return valve is provided with a water limiting structure, when the household water pressure of a user is large or the water resistance of the hot water pipeline is small, the problem of false opening also exists.
Disclosure of Invention
The inventor researches and experiments for a long time show that when a user opens cold water, the water pressure on the side of the water return valve connected with the cold water pipeline is instantaneously reduced due to the entrainment effect, and the water pressure on the side of the water return valve connected with the hot water pipe is basically unchanged. At this time, a pressure difference occurs at both sides of the valve core of the water return valve, and when the pressure difference reaches the opening pressure difference of the valve core, the water return valve is opened to generate leakage. When the flow reaches the flow for starting the preheating cycle, the gas water heating device can be started by mistake.
The "water limitation" is added to the cold water outlet, so that the pressure difference of the instant valve opening can be reduced, but the flow of the cold water outlet can be reduced, and the user experience is poor. Because the aperture of the 'water limiting' structure is fixed, when the household water pressure of a user is large or the water resistance of a hot water pipeline is small, the pressure difference reaching the valve opening is still possible, so that the problem of false opening is also caused, and the hot water is output when the user uses cold water.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solution of the present invention better understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, shall fall within the scope of the invention.
It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may also be present. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and the like are used herein for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to be the only embodiment.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Please refer to fig. 1 to 8. A valve is provided in an embodiment of the present application. Wherein the valve may be used as, but is not limited to, a two-position three-way valve, which may also be used in conjunction with a one-way valve 160 (return valve) in the pre-heat circulation line, or in some embodiments the valve may be used as a return valve in the pre-heat circulation line. Of course, the valve can also be applied to the use scene of other one-way valves, for example, the valve can be applied to the scene of preventing the one-way valve (160) from being opened by mistake.
In the present embodiment, the valve has a first opening 101 and a second opening 102, and a third opening 103. Wherein, the first opening 101 is used for inputting the first liquid. The third opening 103 is used for outputting the second liquid input from the second opening 102. When the first opening 101 is connected to the water outlet of the water heater, the first liquid may be hot water output from the water heater. When the second opening 102 is connected to a cold water pipe, the third opening 103 can output cold water inputted from the second opening 102.
The valve is provided with a spool assembly 150. The spool assembly 150 may have a first state and a second state. Of course, it is also understood that the spool assembly 150 has two operative positions: a first operating position and a second operating position.
Wherein, the valve core assembly 150 communicates the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 in the first state. In the second state, the spool assembly 150 reduces the flow area between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102.
In a further embodiment, the valve core assembly 150 is further capable of reducing the flow area between the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 in the first state; in the second state, the valve body assembly 150 may also communicate the second opening 102 with the third opening 103. In this embodiment, the valve cartridge assembly 150 controls communication between the different openings when in different states.
That is, in the first state, the valve body assembly 150 communicates the first opening 101 and the second opening 102, and reduces the flow area between the second opening 102 and the third opening 103. In the second state, the valve body assembly 150 communicates the second opening 102 and the third opening 103, and reduces the flow area between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102.
The flow area may be a flow passage cross-sectional area perpendicular to the flow direction of the fluid. It will be appreciated that the flow area may also correspond to the "opening" in the field of valves. The process of switching the valve core assembly 150 between the first state and the second state, that is, the process of changing the opening of the flow passage where the valve core assembly 150 is located.
In this embodiment, the valve core assembly 150 is movable between a first state and a second state. The switching action of the valve core assembly 150 may be translational, rotational, oscillatory, etc., and is not limited in this application. When the valve body assembly 150 is switched from the first state to the second state, the flow passage area between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 is reduced. The first and second states of the spool assembly 150 may each be a fixed position. The valve element assembly 150 changes the opening degree (the overcurrent area) of the corresponding position during the switching between the first state and the second state.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1-8, the valve core assembly 150 is switched between the first state and the second state by a linear reciprocating motion. It should be understood that the movement of the valve core assembly 150 is not limited to moving in a straight direction, and the movement of the valve core assembly 150 may be rotation or swing, or may be a combination of several movements, such as movement, rotation, swing, etc., which is not limited in this application.
Specifically, the valve body assembly 150 may be located in a flow passage that communicates the first opening 101 and the second opening 102. The valve core assembly 150 has an actuating member (such as a first blocking member described below) for reducing the flow passage area of the flow passage. When the valve element assembly 150 is in the second state, the flow path position (for example, a blocking position) where the operating member is located is smaller than the flow area of the position where the operating member is in the first state.
To clearly understand this point, the position of the flow path where the operating member stays in the second state (for example, a blocking position described below) may be set as the a position. The overcurrent area of the A position in the second state is smaller than that of the A position in the first state. The a position is located between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102, and when the check valve 160 is provided upstream of the spool assembly 150, the a position is located between the check valve 160 and the second opening 102.
The "a position located between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102" in the present application should be understood as "the first liquid passes through the a position when flowing from the first opening 101 to the second opening 102", and the a position is not necessarily limited to be located between the two in a generally understood visual position.
For example: when the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 are in the U-shaped flow path, the a position is located on the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 side when viewed from the visual sense, and the first liquid passes through the a position when flowing from the first opening 101 to the second opening 102, and the a position is also considered to be located between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102.
In the present embodiment, when the flow passage area at the predetermined position (for example, the position a) of the flow passage is reduced by (the operating member of) the valve element assembly 150, the shutoff is not required. That is, embodiments of the present application allow the Xu Faxin assembly 150 to allow water flow to leak in the second state. This is because reducing the flow passage flow area can suppress the pressure drop caused by the second liquid input from being transmitted to the check valve 160, and reduce the probability of the pressure difference reaching the opening pressure on both sides of the check valve 160, thereby reducing the probability of the false opening of the check valve 160.
In the present embodiment, the valve element assembly 150 does not affect the flow area of the a position in the first state, and thus does not affect the flow of the first liquid, that is, the warm-up cycle. The spool assembly 150 may reduce the flow area of the a-position when in the second state, for example: the area of the flow passing through the position a is reduced to 0.5 times that of the first state, and the actuating member may be half of the plugging plate in the embodiment shown in fig. 4 and 5, that is, the actuating member is a semicircular plate.
In one embodiment, the valve may further include a check valve 160 disposed between the first opening portion 101 and the second opening portion 102. When the check valve 160 is opened, the first liquid introduced from the first opening 101 is allowed to flow to the second opening 102. The valve may also be provided with a fourth opening 104 upstream of the non-return valve 160. A hot water inlet of a water end (e.g., a tap) is connected through the fourth opening 104. Thus, the valve can be directly applied to a preheating circulation pipeline to be used as a water return valve.
In this embodiment, the spool assembly 150 may be disposed downstream of the check valve 160. Accordingly, when the check valve 160 is opened, the spool assembly 150 communicates the check valve 160 with the second opening 102 (also communicates the first opening 101 with the second opening 102). When the second liquid is inputted into the second opening 102, the valve body assembly 150 reduces an overflow area between the check valve 160 and the second opening 102.
In the present embodiment, the spool assembly 150 achieves communication between the check valve 160 and the second opening portion 102 or reduces the flow area (reducing the flow area includes blocking) by switching between the first state and the second state. Specifically, the valve body assembly 150 may be located in a flow path that communicates the check valve 160 with the second opening 102, and the flow path may be a portion of the flow path between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102.
In view of the fact that the valve is used for warm-up cycle control, the flow path between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 is used for circulating hot water, and accordingly, the flow path between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 may also be referred to as "hot water flow path". Correspondingly, the valve core assembly 150 can control the on-off of the hot water flow passage.
When the valve is applied to a preheating circulation system, the first opening part 101 can be communicated with a water outlet of a water heater (namely a hot water outlet of the water heater) through a pipeline, and is connected with a cold water pipeline of the preheating circulation pipeline through the second opening part 102, and the cold water pipeline is also communicated with a water inlet of the water heater (namely a cold water inlet of the water heater) and a household tap water pipeline. The third opening 103 may communicate with a cold water inlet at the useful water end. The water-using end can be a tap or a shower or other household water-outlet components.
When the preheating cycle (i.e., the return water heating) is performed, the circulation pump is turned on. Based on the pressure provided by the circulation pump, an opening pressure is formed on both sides of the check valve 160 to open the check valve 160. At this time, the valve body assembly 150 communicates with the check valve 160 and the second opening 102, and does not affect the water flow path between the check valve 160 and the second opening 102, thereby ensuring smooth progress of the preheating cycle.
When the user uses cold water, the water end is opened, and cold water (tap water) enters the second opening 102 through the cold water pipe. At this time, the spool assembly 150 reduces the flow area between the check valve 160 and the second opening 102. Therefore, the pressure drop generated when the water end is opened can be reduced and transmitted to the upstream of the valve core assembly 150, the influence of the pressure drop on the one-way valve 160 is reduced, and the one-way valve 160 is prevented from being opened, so that the problem that hot water is output due to the fact that the preheating circulation is started by mistake when a user uses cold water can be effectively avoided.
The valve provided by the embodiments of the present application is provided by having a spool assembly 150 downstream of the check valve 160. The valve body assembly 150 reduces an area of the flow passage between the check valve 160 and the second opening 102 when the second liquid is supplied to the second opening 102. Therefore, when a user uses cold water, the pressure drop is prevented from being transmitted to the one-way valve 160, the probability of the one-way valve 160 being opened by mistake is reduced, and the water heater is prevented from being started by mistake, so that the user is effectively prevented from outputting hot water when using cold water, and the water use experience is improved. The spool assembly 150 communicates the check valve 160 with the second opening 102 when the check valve 160 is opened, so that the smooth progress of the warm-up cycle is not affected during the warm-up cycle.
In this embodiment, to ensure that the check valve 160 is prevented from being opened by mistake, the valve element assembly 150 includes: the area of the flow passage between the check valve 160 and the second opening 102 is reduced to 0.2 times or less the area of the flow passage when the flow passage is connected. Preferably, the valve body assembly 150 reduces an area of the flow passing between the check valve 160 and the second opening 102, including: blocking the check valve 160 and the second opening 102.
Further, the valve body assembly 150 reducing the flow area between the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 includes: the area of the flow passing between the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 is reduced to 0.2 times or less of that at the time of communication. Preferably, the valve body assembly 150 reduces an area of the flow passing between the second opening 102 and the third opening 103, including: the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 are blocked.
Such as: in other embodiments where the check valve 160 is not provided upstream of the spool assembly 150. The valve body assembly 150 reduces an area of the flow passing between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102, including: the area of the flow passing between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 is reduced to 0.2 times or less of that at the time of communication. Further, the valve body assembly 150 reducing the flow area between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 includes: the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 are blocked.
In the embodiment of the present application, the valve body assembly 150 may further communicate the second opening 102 with the third opening 103 when reducing the flow area between the check valve 160 and the second opening 102. The valve body assembly 150 can reduce the flow area between the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 when the check valve 160 and the second opening 102 are connected. At this point, the valve may be used as a "two-position three-way valve" in some embodiments.
In the present embodiment, when the check valve 160 is opened, the spool assembly 150 also reduces the flow area between the second opening 102 and the third opening 103. The valve body assembly 150 also communicates the second opening 102 with a third opening when the second liquid is input into the second opening 102.
Additionally, the valve core assembly 150 may not be used in a scenario with a check valve 160 or in an embodiment that is not integrated with a check valve 160, and the corresponding structure may be described with reference to fig. 4-7. In this embodiment, the valve cartridge assembly 150 may be driven by the second fluid to switch between the first state and the second state.
Specifically, when the second liquid is input into the second opening, the valve element assembly 150 can be switched from the first state to the second state under the driving of the second liquid, so that the second liquid is output from the third opening 103. Thus, the valve core assembly 150 can be associated with the input state of the second liquid, so that the combination of the water habit of the user and the operation and the use of the user are facilitated. For example: when the third opening 103 of the valve is communicated with the water end, the action of the valve core assembly 150 can be controlled by opening and closing the water end by a user, so that the control of the valve is realized, and the operation of the user is facilitated.
Further, the valve cartridge assembly 150 is capable of being reset from the second state to the first state when the second fluid is not input into the second opening. Accordingly, the valve core assembly 150 is provided with a reset mechanism, and the initial state of the valve core assembly 150 is the first state by the reset force applied by the reset mechanism. In the present embodiment, the reset mechanism provides the reset force in various manners, for example, the first force application member 6 may be reset by an electric driving manner, or may be mechanically reset by an elastic force or a magnetic force (also referred to as a magnetic force in the present embodiment).
In the present embodiment, the valve includes a housing 100. The housing 100 has various forms of shape and configuration. The housing 100 may be matched to the shape and configuration of the flow channel therein, and is not limited in any way. Of course, the casing 100 is integrally formed with a pipe body to accommodate the cold and hot water pipeline structure of the room, so that the installation and connection are convenient.
In the present embodiment, the first opening 101, the second opening 102, and the third opening 103 are provided in the housing 100. Among them, the first, second and third opening parts 101, 102 and 103 have an opening structure for inflow or outflow of fluid, which is particularly but not limited to a joint structure or a pipe body structure provided on the housing 100 so as to be connected to other pipes for installation.
In the present embodiment, the first opening 101, the second opening 102, and the third opening 103 may be flexibly provided in the housing 100, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example, the first opening 101, the second opening 102, and the third opening 103 may be provided on the side wall of the housing 100, or the first opening 101 and the third opening 103 may be provided at both ends of the housing 100 as shown in fig. 1 to 7, and the second opening 102 may be provided on the side wall of the housing 100.
To facilitate installation in the preheating circulation line. The housing 100 is further provided with a fourth opening 104 adjacent to the first opening 101 and communicating with the first opening 101. The fourth opening 104 is located upstream of the one-way valve 160. The first opening 101 and the fourth opening 104 may be directly connected, and a structure for controlling the connection therebetween may not be provided.
To facilitate the application of the valve in a preheating circulation system, the first opening 101 is used for communicating with a water outlet of a water heater; the fourth opening 104 is used for communicating with a hot water inlet of the water end; the second opening 102 is used for communicating with a cold water pipeline; the third opening 103 is used for communicating with a cold water inlet of the water use end.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 7, the first opening 101 and the third opening 103 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the housing 100. The second opening 102 and the fourth opening 104 are provided on a side wall of the housing 100. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in the embodiments shown in fig. 6 and 7, the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 are respectively provided at opposite ends of the housing 100. The third opening 103 and the fourth opening 104 are provided on a side wall of the housing 100.
Specifically, the housing 100 includes two connected first tee structures 110 and a second tee structure 120. The check valve 160 is positioned within the first tee structure 110 and the valve core assembly 150 is positioned within the second tee structure 120. As shown in fig. 1-3. The first opening 101 and the fourth opening 104 are respectively located at two ends of the first tee structure 110, and the remaining end is connected to one end 121 of the second tee structure 120. The second opening 102 and the third opening 103 are located at two ends of the second three-way structure 120, respectively.
In the present embodiment, the first opening 101, the second opening 102, and the third opening 103 are formed in the case 100. The housing 100 has a hot water flow path (first liquid flow path) that communicates the first opening 101 and the second opening 102, and a cold water flow path (second liquid flow path) that communicates the second opening 102 and the third opening 103.
Wherein, a portion of the valve core assembly 150 may be located in the hot water flow path and a portion of the valve core assembly 150 may be located in the cold water flow path. The hot water flow path connecting the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 and the cold water flow path connecting the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 may be independent flow paths or may share a part of flow paths, and the present application is not limited thereto.
In the present embodiment, the hot water flow path and the cold water flow path may have a single channel structure without branch channels, may have a plurality of branch channels, or may have a case where a trunk and a branch exist in a mixed manner. In the case where there are a plurality of branch passages in the hot water flow passage or the cold water flow passage, the spool assembly 150 may reduce the flow passage area of the flow passage where the portion of the branch passages is blocked.
In the present embodiment, the cross-section of the hot water flow path and the cold water flow path may have various shapes, for example: circular, polygonal, or other irregular shapes. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the hot water flow path and the cold water flow path are only required to be capable of flowing water, and the structure and construction of the specific flow path are not limited in any way.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 4-5, the hot water flow channel and the cold water flow channel share a portion of the flow channel extending in the vertical direction near the second opening 102, and the flow channels of the non-shared portion are located on the left and right sides of the spool assembly 150 (based on the direction when the reader faces fig. 1-5). In the embodiment shown in fig. 6 and 7, the hot water flow path and the cold water flow path share a portion of the flow path extending vertically in the vicinity of the second opening 102. In the non-common portion, a partial flow passage that communicates the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 is located on the upper side of the valve body assembly 150, and a partial flow passage that communicates the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 is located on the left side of the valve body assembly 150.
Please refer to fig. 1 to 8. The valve cartridge assembly 150 includes a first blocking member 5 and a first force application member 6. The first urging member 6 is configured to apply a restoring force for communicating the check valve 160 and the second opening 102 to the first blocking member 5. When the second liquid is stopped from being supplied to the second opening 102, the first shutter 5 can be reset to the first state by providing the reset force. Accordingly, the first state may be the initial state of the valve cartridge assembly 150.
Wherein the first force application member 6 is capable of providing a restoring force to the first blocking member 5. The restoring force may be present at all times or may be generated after the first blocking member 5 is moved out of the initial position, which is not limited in this application. There are various ways in which the first urging member 6 provides the restoring force, for example, the first urging member 6 may be restored by an electric drive, or may be mechanically restored by an elastic force or a magnetic force (also referred to as a magnetic force in some embodiments of the present application).
In a preferred embodiment, at least one of the first force application member 6 and the first blocking member 5 is a magnetic element, and the other is attracted by the magnetic element. Based on the magnetic attraction of the first force application member 6 and the first blocking member 5.
When the first blocking member 5 moves a predetermined distance to the blocking position (position of the first blocking member 5 in the second state), the flow passage is closed and the circulation waterway is communicated. At this time, the attractive force applied to the first closing member 5 by the first urging member 6 is reduced, and the closing position can be maintained, and the closing state of the check valve 160 and the second opening 102 can be maintained. Even if there is a certain pressure drop (for example, reducing the opening degree of the faucet) after the second opening part 102 is communicated with the third opening part 103, or if there is a pressure fluctuation in the hydraulic pressure of the second liquid, the valve core assembly 150 can also keep the first sealing member 5 at the sealing position, so that the pressure drop is avoided to reach the side of the check valve 160, the probability of the false opening of the check valve 160 is reduced, a stable sealing state is formed, and thus the output state of the second liquid is maintained.
When the second opening 102 stops inputting the second liquid, the driving force applied by the first force application member 6 can drive the first blocking member 5 to return. At this time, the pressure difference across the force receiving structure 7 disappears, and the first blocking member 5 is re-attracted to the communication position by the attractive force of the first force applying member 6 and the first blocking member 5, so that the check valve 160 is re-communicated with the second opening 102.
The relative position between the first blocking member 5 and the first force application member 6 can also be flexibly set due to the large range of magnetic force, for example: the first blocking member 5 and the first urging member 6 may or may not be in contact with each other. The first force application member 6 preferably has a fixed position, i.e. the first force application member 6 is stationary.
The shapes of the first blocking member 5 and the first urging member 6 may have various shapes and configurations, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example: the first blocking member 5 may be positioned in the flow path between the first opening 101 (or the check valve 160) and the second opening 102, in which case the shape of the first blocking member 5 may match the cross-sectional shape of the flow path or the cross-sectional shape of the flow path at the blocked position. For another example: when the first force application member 6 is located outside the housing 100 or the flow channel, the shape of the first force application member 6 is not limited, and only the first force application member 6 needs to be ensured to be attracted with the magnetic force of the first blocking member 5.
In other embodiments, the first blocking member 5 may be located outside the housing 100 (for example, the blocking member is located outside one end of the housing 100 to block and open the port of the housing 100), and the shape and structure of the first blocking member 5 are not limited at all, and only the first blocking member 5 is required to block the flow channel. In particular, the first blocking member 5 may be a plate, block, cap or other structure, and may have a circular, polygonal or irregular cross-section. The first force application member 6 may be annular, plate-like, block-like or other shape.
In this embodiment, the first blocking member 5 and the force receiving structure 7 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 8. The first force application member 6 and the first blocking member 5 are attracted to each other by magnetic force, and the force receiving structure 7 moves together with the first blocking member 5 while the first blocking member 5 is attracted to move by the first force application member 6. In other embodiments, the first force application member 6 and the first blocking member 5 may be reset by an elastic force.
It can be seen that the valve provided in this embodiment is a mechanically operated valve that switches the communication between different openings using the input liquid, without electric driving, and has a high reliability and a low manufacturing cost.
In this embodiment, the valve core assembly 150 may further be provided with a force-receiving structure 7 that is linked with the first blocking member 5. The force receiving structure 7 is used for receiving the driving force applied by the second liquid when the second liquid is input into the second opening 102. The force receiving structure 7 makes the first blocking member 5 block the check valve 160 and the second opening 102 under the driving force.
In this embodiment, when the first blocking member 5 and the force receiving structure 7 are linked, the actions of the first blocking member 5 and the force receiving structure 7 may be the same or different. For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1-7, both the first blocking member 5 and the force-receiving structure 7 may be moved in translation by the same distance. In some embodiments, the first blocking member 5 and the force-receiving structure 7 have different forms of action, such as: the first blocking piece 5 realizes the blocking and opening of the target runner or the runner where the first blocking piece is located through rotation, and the stress structure 7 realizes the blocking and opening of the target runner or the runner where the first blocking piece is located through translation, swing and other action modes different from rotation.
Of course, in other embodiments, the first blocking member 5 and the force receiving structure 7 may also have the same action, but the displacement or rotation angle of the two may be different, which is not limited in this application.
Preferably, the force-bearing structure 7 is fixedly connected with the first blocking member 5 to move together. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 7, the first closure plate forming the first closure element 5 and the second closure plate forming the shown stressed structure 7 are fixedly connected by means of a connecting rod 8. The connecting rod 8 may be coaxially disposed with the first and second blocks 5, 150 to facilitate movement stability of the spool assembly 150. In the embodiment shown in fig. 6 to 7, the first blocking member 5 is a cylindrical structure for blocking the openings 2 and 3.
In this embodiment, the force-receiving structure 7 has a force-receiving surface perpendicular to the flow direction of the second liquid. The product of the force-bearing surface and the water pressure of the second liquid is larger than the force applied by the first force application member 6 to the first blocking member 5. Wherein the water pressure of the second liquid is greater than 0.1 megapascals. The pressure of the second liquid may be a household water pressure.
Of course, the force bearing surface of the force bearing structure 7 may be other shapes, and the present application is not limited. It should be noted that, when the stress surface of the stress structure 7 is a curved surface or is not perpendicular to the second liquid flow direction, the projected area of the stress structure 7 on the surface perpendicular to the second liquid flow direction is the actual stress area of the stress structure 7.
As shown in fig. 1 to 7, the force receiving structure 7 is close to the third opening 103 with respect to the first blocking member 5. The first urging member 6 is away from the third opening 103 with respect to the first blocking member 5. The first blocking member 5 is located between the force receiving structure 7 and the first force application member 6. The valve core assembly 150 (the first blocking member 5 and the force receiving structure 7) reciprocates in a direction toward the third opening 103 or in the opposite direction to switch between the first state and the second state.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 4 to 5, the force receiving structure 7 is located between the second opening 102 and the third opening 103. The first force application member 6 is positioned adjacent to the one-way valve 160 with respect to the first blocking member 5. The second opening 102 is located between the first blocking member 5 and the force receiving structure 7. The first opening 101 and the check valve 160 are located on one side of the second opening 102, and the third opening 103 is located on the other side of the second opening 102. The first blocking member 5 moves on one side of the second opening 102, and the force receiving structure 7 moves on the other side of the second opening 102.
Of course, the position of the force receiving structure 7 is not limited to the above-described position setting manner. In the embodiment shown in fig. 6 to 7, the third opening 103 is located between the first opening 101 (or the check valve 160) and the second opening 102, and the force receiving structure 7 and the first blocking member 5 reciprocate in a direction parallel to the direction of the third opening 103. A receiving groove is provided in a wall of the housing 100 opposite to the third opening 103 to receive the first blocking member 5.
In the embodiment of the present application, the force receiving structure 7 may always be in communication with the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 during operation, or may reduce the flow area between the second opening 102 and the third opening 103. Preferably, in order to facilitate the force application of the second liquid to the force-receiving structure 7, the force-receiving structure 7 can also block the communication between the second opening 102 and the third opening 103. The valve is driven by the force of the second liquid through the force bearing structure 7, so that the valve is switched between the first state and the second state, and an electric driving structure is not required.
Specifically, the force receiving structure 7 can communicate the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 when the first blocking member 5 blocks the check valve 160 and the second opening 102, and can block the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 when the first blocking member 5 communicates the check valve 160 and the second opening 102.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1-7, the stressing structure 7 and the first blocking member 5 are arranged along the entire extension of the flow channel. The direction of the entire extension of the flow path is the same as the direction of the third opening 103. When the reader is faced with fig. 4 and 5, the stress structure 7 and the first blocking member 5 are arranged in the left-right direction. The force-receiving structure 7 and the first blocking member 5 can move together in the left-right direction and the displacement is the same, so that the valve core assembly 150 can be switched between the first state and the second state.
In a specific embodiment, the first blocking member 5 has a blocking position that blocks the check valve 160 and the second opening 102 and a communicating position that communicates the check valve 160 and the second opening 102. Wherein the blocking position and the communicating position are spaced apart by a predetermined distance.
In this embodiment, the blocking position and the communication position may be a fixed position. The first blocking member 5 is limited when in the blocking position and cannot move further in a direction away from the communication position, and the first blocking member 5 is limited when in the communication position and cannot move further in a direction away from the blocking position. The first blocking member 5 is located at the blocking position to block the flow passage between the check valve 160 and the second opening 102 to block the flow of water, and the first blocking member 5 is located at the communicating position to open the flow passage (at this time, the flow passage between the check valve 160 and the second opening 102 is in the communicating state).
The transition between blocking and communication can be understood during the movement of the first blocking element 5, i.e. the presence of a slight water leakage during the movement of the first blocking element 5 is permissible (e.g. the area of the flow is reduced to less than 0.1 times that of communication), which is very weak for the pressure difference across the first blocking element 5. The flow passage where the first blocking member 5 is located is in a completely opened state when it is located at the communication position, and the pressure relief (pressure drop) at this time is very obvious compared with the pressure relief caused by the above-mentioned water flow leakage, and at the same time, the water flow is also relatively large.
It should be noted that, the predetermined distance between the blocking position and the communicating position may enable the first blocking member 5 at the blocking position to still keep the blocking state of the flow passage when there is slight movement, so as to avoid the pressure drop from being transferred to the position of the check valve 160, and the stability is better. Of course, the present application does not exclude embodiments in which the first closure member 5 is displaced, i.e. opened.
In this particular embodiment, further, the force receiving structure 7 has a closed position blocking the second opening 102 and the third opening 103 and an open position communicating the second opening 102 and the third opening 103. Considering that the stress structure 7 and the first blocking member 5 are a linkage structure, the closing position and the opening position of the stress structure 7 may refer to the blocking position and the communicating position of the first blocking member 5, which are not described herein.
When the second liquid is input into the second opening 102, the first blocking member 5 is located at the blocking position, and the force receiving structure 7 is located at the opening position. When the second liquid is not input into the second opening 102, the first blocking member 5 is located at the communication position, and the force receiving structure 7 is located at the closing position.
When the valve is applied to a warm-up cycle, the valve core assembly 150 is in the first state when in a warm-up cycle state. At this time, the second liquid is not input into the second opening 102, the check valve 160 is opened, the first blocking member 5 is located at the communicating position, and the force receiving structure 7 is located at the closing position.
The valve core assembly 150 is in the second state when the water-using end outputs cold water. At this time, the second liquid is introduced into the second opening 102, the first blocking member 5 is positioned at the blocking position, and the force receiving structure 7 is positioned at the open position. The check valve 160 is kept in a closed state, and the check valve 160 can effectively solve the problem of erroneous opening of the check valve 160 because the pressure drop generated by opening the cold water cannot be sensed.
In the embodiment of the present application, the valve core assembly 150 is disposed inside the housing 100. To facilitate the valve core assembly 150 to switch between communicating different openings in different conditions. The valve cartridge assembly 150 also has a first valve body 1. A first flow passage 13 is provided in the first valve body 1. The first flow passage 13 forms a partial flow passage between the first opening 101 and the second opening 102. The first valve body 1 may be tubular as a whole. The first valve body 1 may be disposed in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the housing 100, or may be disposed vertically.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 4 and 5, the longitudinal direction of the first valve body 1 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing 100 and is coaxially arranged. The first flow passage 13 is used to communicate the second opening 102 with the check valve 160 and to communicate the second opening 102 with the third opening 103. The first blocking member 5 and the force receiving structure 7 move within the first flow channel 13 in the direction in which the first flow channel 13 extends.
The first flow channel 13 has one end provided with the first urging member 6 and the other end provided with the communication opening 4 through which the third opening 103 communicates. A water passing hole 2 for communicating the first flow passage 13 and the check valve 160, and a communication hole 3 for communicating the second opening 102 and the first flow passage 13 are formed in a side wall of the first valve body 1. The communication hole 3 is located between the water passing hole 2 and the communication opening 4.
In order to avoid wear or high resistance to movement during movement of the first blocking element 5, an end seal is used in this embodiment. Specifically, a first annular sealing step 9 is provided on the inner wall of the first flow channel 13.
