A connecting fitting is disposed on an upper face of a valve plate and is fixed to the connecting shaft. A first close-contact mechanism portion is formed at a portion where the connecting fitting and the connecting shaft are in contact with each other, a second close-contact mechanism portion is formed at a portion where the connecting fitting and the valve plate are in contact with each other, and a third close-contact mechanism portion is formed at a portion where the lower end of the valve plate and the lower end of the connecting shaft are in contact with each other. By bringing the valve plate and the connecting shaft toward each other with the close-contact mechanism portions of three vertical positions, a hole front face of a connection hole and a shaft front face of a connecting shaft are brought into close contact with each other.

LOW-PROFILE VALVE, PIPELINE AND IMMERSION COOLING SYSTEM
20230076046 · 2023-03-09 ·

A low-profile and small-size valve to a shut off a flow of fluid in a pipeline includes a frame, a tube, a moving part, a lever, an elastic part, a latch, and a trigger. The tube is movable with the moving part. The lever is rotatable around an axis. The elastic part can push the lever to rotate after the trigger pushes the buckle away from the lever to unlatch the lever and allow rotation. During the rotation of the lever, the lever pulls on the moving part, and the moving part pulls on the tube together to disconnect the tube from the pipe. The valve improves the convenience and efficiency of shutting off a flow of fluid. A pipeline and an immersion cooling system is also disclosed.

Fluid valve apparatus

A valve having a flow trim assembly that can be quickly and efficiently removed and repaired or replaced. A body section having a central through bore that defines an inlet, an inner chamber or space, and two selectable outlets. Further the selectable outlets can direct flow in either a 90 degree “angle” orientation or at straight “in-line” orientation. An actuator stem extends into the inner chamber. A first (movable) trim member is attached to the rotator, and can be selectively rotated relative to a second (fixed) trim member. The first and second trim members cooperate to adjust flow opening through the valve. A valve bonnet that allows direct coupling of an actuator to the valve.
