FILLING FLOAT VALVE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: hydraulic power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hydraulic intake valves designed for metered delivery of liquid into reservoir to be filled. Proposed filling float valve contains housing with vertical inlet branch pipe, outlet hole and cone-like seat inside housing. Shutoff member arranged opposite to seat is made in form of elastic diaphragm with thickening in zone of interaction with seat. Axially movable rod of shutoff member is arranged in bracket. The latter is fixed relative to housing by means of union nut. Rod of shutoff member is mechanically connected with float through lever. Float is installed for vertical displacement in cup installed for vertical adjustment relative to housing. Hole is made in bottom of cup. Float valve fitted in said hole serves to communicate inner space of cup with reservoir under filling when liquid is being drained from the latter. Float is installed for displacement relative to lever by means of adjusting screw. Adapter bracket is found on head of adjusting screw. Post with projections on its side surface is secured on bracket of valve housing. Projections are pointed to side of cup. Shaped projection is made in the latter. Cup is fixed relative to post by means of projection and fitted-on detachable clamp. Diaphragm is hermetically secured over perimeter on housing by means of bracket with union nut to form space in housing from side of seat. Said space communicates with outlet hole and, through seat, with vertical inlet branch pipe. Shaped axle is made on one end of lever. Cylindrical sections of said axle are arranged in coaxial holes of housing bracket. Section in form of sector of circumference in cross section of axle is made between cylindrical section of axle. U-shaped recess is made in rod in its middle part. Said recess accommodates section of lever axle made in form of sector in cross section. Maximum width of said section of axle is from 0.8 to 0.85 of width of U-shaped recess of rod. Wide side of sector is pointed to side of base of U-shaped recess for interaction with sides of U-shaped recess of rod. Center of rotation of sector relative to rod is arranged at distance from rod axis equal to 0.27-0.29of width of U-shaped recess. Hole is made on other end of lever. End of tie-rod mechanically coupled with lever is arranged in said hole of lever. Other end of tie-rod is secured in adapter bracket for adjustment of length of tie-rod.

EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities of filling float valve, improved reliability in operation.
