Valve position indicator
A valve position indicator for a valve includes a spline barrel, indicator flag, and follower. The spline barrel may be generally tubular and may be positionable about a tail stem protector of the valve. The spline barrel may have a helical slot formed therein. The spline barrel may be rotatably coupled to the tail stem protector of a valve. The indicator flag may be coupled to the spline barrel and may extend radially therefrom. The follower may be coupleable to a tail stem of the valve. The follower may extend in a direction perpendicular to the extent of the tail stem. The follower may extend through a slot in the tail stem protector and the helical slot of the spline barrel when the spline barrel is positioned about the tail stem protector.
Pressure relief valve apparatus, system and method
A pressure relief valve includes a hollow body having an inlet and an outlet, with the hollow body including at least one aperture extending through a surface of the hollow body. An actuator assembly is attached to the hollow body and a sleeve is slideably positioned about the hollow body, with the sleeve moveably attached to the actuator assembly. During operation, the actuator assembly moves the sleeve from a first position that covers the aperture to a second position that un-covers at least a portion of the aperture.
Steering drive device for pressing-controlled valve core
Disclosed is steering drive device for a pressing-controlled valve core, the steering drive device including a fixed top frame, a lifting drive rod, a vertical guide column, a lifting receiving seat, a fork-shaped swinging member, and a steering linkage. The steering linkage has an end that swings laterally when being moved, and the laterally swinging end is provided with a through hole for the fork-shaped swinging member to drive the swing arm, and cause the horizontal post to axially slide. The vertical cross-section of the through hole is rectangular, and the drive horizontal column has a range of up and down movement space in it, so that, when the drive swing arm generates lateral displacement due to vertical swing, it will pull the steering linkage along a circular path laterally moving, and at the same time drives the valve to rotate the actuating seat and cause it rotate laterally.
Portable control device for regulating a continous oxygen flow
A portable control device (10) for regulating a continuous oxygen flow to a user from an oxygen source, comprising: an inlet (11), to which the oxygen source may be fluidly connected; an outlet (12), to which a breathing device may be fluidly connected; a valve arrangement (20) fluidly connected to said inlet and to said outlet, said valve arrangement being adjustable between a maximum flow state corresponding to a maximum continuous flow of oxygen from the inlet to the outlet, and a minimum flow state corresponding to a minimum continuous flow of oxygen; and an actuator (13) movable between a maximum and a minimum position and being mechanically connected to the valve arrangement so that when said actuator is in the maximum position said valve arrangement is in the maximum flow state and when said actuator is in said minimum position said valve arrangement is in said minimum flow state.
Dustproof gate valve
A dustproof gate valve includes a housing having a first panel, a second panel, and a valve port on each of the first and second panels, a slide including a body and a valve member and drivable to move between a first position and a second position, the slide closing the valve port of the first panel when at the first position, a driver mounted in the housing, a swing arm having one end thereof connected to the driver for moving the slide, and a dust pipe mounted in said body. When the slide is at the second position, the dust pipe is disposed between the valve port of the first panel and the valve port of the second panel, and the pipe wall of the dust pipe separates the valve ports of the first and second panels from the accommodation space.
VALVE FOR MIXING TWO GAS FLOWS
A valve for mixing two gas streams, having a housing, a first gas inlet, a second gas inlet, and a gas outlet. The gas inlets are fluidically connected to the gas outlet . Downstream of the first gas inlet there is a guide element mounted displaceably inside the housing. By displacing the guide element, it is possible to control a flow cross section of a flow transfer opening for the transfer flow of the gas volume flowing in through the first gas inlet to the gas outlet through the guide element.
Shuttle valve for water softener system and method
Embodiments of the invention provide a piston assembly for a control valve in a water softener system. The control valve includes a drive mechanism, one or more fluid passageways, and a seal assembly. The piston assembly includes a main piston moveably received within the seal assembly and including a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, and a shuttle piston moveably received within the seal assembly. The shuttle piston includes a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, and is configured to selectively engage the second end of the main piston to form a seal therebetween and to selectively move relative to the second end of the main piston to form an opening between the second end of the main piston and the first end of the shuttle piston, in response to movement of the main piston.
Actuator Assembly for a Fluid Control Device
A fluid control device includes a body having an inlet, an outlet, and a fluid flow path between the inlet and the outlet, a seat, and a control element that is coupled to a stem. The control element and the stem are movable along a first axis and biased toward a closed position in which the control element engages the seat. The fluid control device includes an actuator assembly including a shaft that is operatively coupled to the stem via a Scotch yoke mechanism such that rotation of the shaft in a first rotational direction causes movement of the stem and control element along the first axis in a first translational direction. The actuator assembly includes a trigger mechanism that is responsive to fluid pressure and prevents rotation of the shaft in a first mode of operation and releases the shaft to allow rotation in a second mode of operation.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A POPPET VALVE ASSEMBLY
The present disclosure provides a valve assembly including one or more poppet valves. In general, the valve assembly can have one or more poppet assemblies selectively actuatable between a first end position and a second end position. According to some aspects, a crankshaft assembly can be coupled to the one or more poppet assemblies and the crankshaft assembly can selectively actuate the one or more poppet assemblies between the first end position and the second end position.
Low-profile, large-aperture, remotely-triggered valve
A valve for delivery of fluid between two chambers. The valve includes a plug, force spring that opens the plug, and a base that joins/mates with the inner surface of a chamber. Plug sealing mechanisms seal the plug to the base. Chamber sealing mechanisms seal an inner surface of a chamber bore or conduit. The valve also includes a trigger arm that holds the plug down until the trigger arm is actuated to cause the plug to move and the valve to open. The valve also includes a remotely-actuatable trigger for releasing the trigger arm. A channel permits the transfer of fluid from one side of the plug to the other.
