ELECTRIC VALVE

An electric valve includes a stator assembly, a rotor, a circuit board assembly, a sleeve and a valve assembly. The stator assembly is arranged around the rotor. The sleeve isolates the stator assembly from the rotor. The stator assembly is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly. A valve port is formed in the electric valve. The rotor can drive the movement of the valve assembly with respect to the valve port. The electric valve further comprises a box body. The circuit board assembly is arranged in the box body. The box body includes a shell and a cover body. A seal ring is arranged at a joint of the shell and the cover body. The seal ring is compressed between the shell and the cover body. The cover body is fixedly connected to the shell by means of welding.

DRAIN-BACK VALVE
20200232301 · 2020-07-23 · ·

A drain-back valve is provided for draining a submersible pump system in a water well. The drain-back valve includes, for example, a body, an end cap and a plunger assembly. The end cap is inserted into one end of the body includes at least one port that is in fluid communication with an interior passageway of the body. The plunger assembly engages the opposing end of the body. When closed, the plunger assembly prevents water from flowing into the interior passageway of the body. The drain-back valve is activated or opened by dropping a weight into a riser or drop pipe. The weight strikes the plunger assembly and opens the drain-back valve to allow water to flow through the body and out the end cap. This allows well water in the drop or riser pipe to drain back into the water well. With this water drained from the drop or riser pipe, a pump service personnel on the ground surface is able to pull up the pump without the water weight that was in the drop or riser pipe. After servicing and before re-installation back into the well, the drain-back valve is reset to its normally closed position.

Stop valve and steam turbine

A stop valve includes: a valve seat in a fluid flow path; a valve disc that contacts the valve seat and that closes the fluid flow path; a valve stem that extends along a center axis includes a first end, in a direction of the center axis, that is connected to the valve disc; a spindle that extends along the center axis and comprises an end surface of a first end, in the direction of the center axis, that faces an end surface of a second end of the valve stem, in the direction of the center axis; and a connector that connects the second end of the valve stem to the first end of the spindle.

Double-spring and high-precision hysteretic pressure control valve

Disclosed in the present invention is a double-spring and high-precision hysteretic pressure control valve, including an upper valve body, a lower valve body, a double-spring pressure adjustment valve, a spring energy storage linkage mechanism, and a main valve. The double-spring pressure adjustment valve includes a rough adjustment stud, a rough adjustment spring, a fine adjustment stud, a fine adjustment spring, a spring guide sleeve, and a pressure adjustment valve spool. The spring energy storage linkage mechanism includes a guide block, a valve spool control linkage, a tension spring, and a tension spring shift lever and a tension spring sliding hook. The valve spool control linkage is connected to the guide block at one end, and connected to a main valve spool drive rod via a pin at the other end. The tension spring sliding hook is mounted on the guide block, and one end of the shift lever is placed below the tension spring sliding hook so as to drive the tension spring sliding hook to move upwards, thereby controlling the state of the tension spring and enabling energy storage of the spring. The spring energy storage linkage mechanism make the valve spool to open and close momentarily at the right portion. The double-spring and high-precision hysteretic pressure control valve according to the present invention has a low cost, and can provide precise control of opening and closing pressures for the pressure control valve and control of both states of opening and closing for the main valve.

Pressure regulator

A pressure regulator, said pressure regulator comprising a housing containing a channel arranged to communicate a fluid from a fluid inlet to a fluid outlet, said channel comprising a valve seat housing, a valve seat and closure member with said closure member operable with the valve seat and valve seat housing to control flow through the channel; wherein the housing comprises a resilient diaphragm in fluid communication with the fluid and in physical communication with the closure member such that the diaphragm is operable to deform in response to a change in pressure of the fluid and such that deformation of the diaphragm causes the closure member to change position, and; wherein the section of the diaphragm not in fluid communication with the channel, is in fluid communication with the exterior of the regulator via a vent aperture and; wherein the closure member comprises an upstream valve element and downstream valve element, wherein the downstream valve element is a ridge operable with an aperture in the valve seat housing to at least partially control fluid flow, wherein said ridge of the closure member is partially or fully inside said aperture in the valve seat housing when the upstream valve element of the closure member is at or between the fully open position and a predetermined partially open position with the valve seat, to provide a restriction to fluid flow but not to fully obstruct flow.
