Technologies are described for a bonnet assembly of a diaphragm valve. The bonnet assembly may comprise a handwheel. The bonnet assembly may comprise a housing. The housing may include a housing base. The housing base may include a top, a bottom, and four sides. Body stud heads of body studs of a body assembly may be in contact with an edge of the top of the housing base. The bonnet assembly may be configured to secure to the body assembly with the body stud heads at least partially exposed.

The present invention intends to make it hard to distort a diaphragm at the time of assembling in a fluid control valve structured to screw a screw member to a plunger. The fluid control valve that makes an actuator move a valve body installed movably in a contacting/separating direction with respect to a valve seat includes: the plunger that is interposed between the valve body and the actuator to transfer the power of the actuator to the valve body; and the diaphragm connected to the circumferential surface of the plunger. In addition, the plunger includes: a first division body connected to the diaphragm; and a second division body that is arranged on an actuator side of the first division body and to which the screw member is screwed. Further, the second division body is configured to be rotatable with respect to the first division body in its circumferential direction.

A centerbody assembly for a valve includes: a centerbody having a process surface, at least one inlet orifice disposed in the centerbody and adapted to be disposed in fluid communication with a fluid at a process pressure, and at least one outlet orifice disposed in the centerbody separate from the at least one inlet orifice; an inlet port disposed in fluid communication with the at least one inlet orifice; an outlet port disposed in fluid communication with the at least one outlet orifice; and a flexible control diaphragm facing the process surface, wherein a perimeter of the control diaphragm is bonded to the centerbody so as to define a seal that blocks the passage of fluid.

A fluid control valve includes a cover portion and a body portion. Inner surfaces of the cover and the body portion define a chamber that includes an inlet and an outlet in communication with the chamber. The cover portion includes a central section and an inversion inhibitor circumscribing the central section. The inversion inhibitor projects into the chamber toward a central axis of the chamber. The fluid control valve also includes a diaphragm disposed between the cover portion and the body portion. The diaphragm has a flexible member that is disposed within the chamber for controlling communication between the inlet and the outlet. The inversion inhibitor prevents the flexible member from reaching its natural-inverted position and creates a force within the flexible member that urges the flexible member to a seated position. In the partially inverted position, the upper surface of the flexible member conforms to at least a portion of the inner surface of the cover portion to define a passageway that permits communication between the inlet and the outlet.

An outlet valve includes a valve body, a solenoid valve, and a manual operating member. The valve body includes a water inlet, a water outlet, a water storage cavity, a drain waterway, a first waterway, a second waterway, and a waterproof membrane. The first waterway is coupled to the drain waterway through a first drain opening. The second waterway is coupled to the drain waterway through a second drain opening. The waterproof membrane is configured to separate the water outlet cavity from the water storage cavity. The first waterway comprises a first plug coupled to an output end of the solenoid valve. The first plug is configured to control the opening and closing of the first drain opening. The second waterway comprises a second plug coupled to the manual operating member. The second plug is configured to control the opening and closing of the second drain opening.

An illustrative valve block includes a plate, a fluid transfer block, and a diaphragm. The plate includes a channel configured to receive a first fluid and a recess connected to the channel. The fluid transfer block includes an inlet connection configured to receive a second fluid and an outlet connection. The fluid transfer block also includes a plurality of valve inlet bores connected to the inlet connection. The plurality of valve inlet bores are distributed along at least part of a first curved shape. The fluid transfer block further includes a plurality of valve outlet bores each fluidly connected to the outlet connection. The plurality of valve outlet bores are distributed along at least part of a second curved shape. The diaphragm is between the pressure plate and the fluid transfer block. The plurality of valve inlet bores and the plurality of valve outlet bores adjoin the recess.

A valve body (4) for a valve assembly (2) is proposed. The valve body (4) comprises a valve seat (96) which can be accessed by means of an opening (86). A plurality of threaded holes is provided around the opening (86). A plurality of first studs (22a-c) is arranged, in portions, in the threaded holes in order to arrange a valve drive. At least one second stud (24) comprises an electronic data carrier (26) for contactless identification of the valve seat (96). A portion of the second stud (24) is arranged in one of the threaded holes.

A method of fabricating a fluid component body includes forming a monolithic fluid component body including a valve segment having an annular upper perimeter wall portion defining a valve cavity and a lower base portion defining first and second flow ports, and a conduit segment extending from one of the first and second flow ports and including a conduit end portion defining a tubular portion extending in a first direction and spaced apart from a remainder of the fluid component body. The conduit end portion is bent from the first direct to a second direction.

A diaphragm for separating fluid chambers in a fluid assembly. The diaphragm includes a sheet of flexible material having a central region and a peripheral Region, and wherein the peripheral region is provided with a larger dimension peripheral feature extending axially from the plane of the sheet.

A valve orifice insert has a stepped-shaped wall including a first tubular section and a second tubular section having a smaller outer dimension than the first tubular section, and a lip structure protruding axially and including a planar valve seat surface. The first tubular section and the second tubular section being are joined by a step structure. At least one circumferential protrusion extends radially outward a predetermined distance from an outer surface of the first tubular section or an outer surface of the second tubular section to form an interference fit with the step-shaped opening when the valve orifice insert is fitted into the step-shaped opening.
