Flush valve
11536014 · 2022-12-27 · ·

A flush valve includes a valve housing defining a fluid passageway between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The fluid passageway includes a diaphragm valve seat disposed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The flush valve additionally includes a diaphragm assembly including a diaphragm and a disc. The diaphragm includes a primary opening and a bypass opening. The primary opening receives the disc therein and the bypass opening allowing water under pressure supplied to the fluid inlet to pass from a fluid inlet side of the diaphragm into a chamber in the fluid passageway. The flush valve additionally includes a relief valve configured to selectively control fluid flow from the chamber to the fluid outlet. The relief valve comprises a stationary valve element and a rotatable valve element each having at least one opening and being rotationally positionable relative to one another to regulate fluid flow.

Plunger-type diaphragm valve
09850644 · 2017-12-26 · ·

A plunger-type diaphragm valve is disposed in an accommodation trough of a flush device. The accommodation trough communicates with an inlet passage and an outlet passage. The valve includes a control unit. One end of the control unit is provided with a diaphragm member and an engaging member, and another end leans against the outlet passage to block the inlet passage and the outlet passage. An outer wall of the diaphragm member is fixed to the accommodation trough. The diaphragm member has a curved portion. When the valve is actuated, the curved portion is deformed by water pressure to bring the control unit to move away from the inlet passage for the inlet passage to communicate with the outlet passage. The stressed area of the diaphragm member is small and the deformation is less, so the diaphragm member won't wear. The valve is durable and has a long life.

Flush System for a Toilet
20170284075 · 2017-10-05 ·

A flush system includes a meter valve, a first pipe, a vacuum breaker, a second pipe, and a ball valve assembly. The meter valve defines a selectively openable outlet. The first pipe is in fluid communication with the meter valve and a water supply source. The vacuum breaker is disposed within the first pipe upstream of the meter valve and oriented to prevent backflow from the meter valve to the water supply source. The second pipe extends from a wall and is downstream from the supply source. The ball valve assembly is disposed between the first pipe and the second pipe upstream of the vacuum breaker to facilitate fluid communication between the first pipe and the second pipe and to selectively isolate the meter valve from the water supply source.

FLUSH VALVE AND MOTOR ALIGNMENT BRACKET

A flush valve assembly including a manifold including an inlet, an outlet, and a fluid passageway positioned between the inlet and the outlet, a motor coupled to the manifold and including a drive gear, a valve cartridge coupled to the manifold, and a shaft extending from the valve cartridge. The shaft includes a valve gear configured to mesh with the drive gear. Rotational motion from the motor is transferred through the drive gear, the valve gear, and the valve shaft to rotate the valve cartridge between a first position and a second position. The flush valve assembly additionally includes a bracket removably coupled to the manifold. The bracket is configured to align the drive gear and the valve gear in a predetermined position.

Pilot actuator for actuating a control valve

A pilot actuator for controlling the operation of a control valve. The control valve can be part of a thy-type fire suppression sprinkler system in which the sprinkler piping network is filled with pressurized gas such as, for example, air, nitrogen, or another gas. The pilot actuator is a differential valve that actuates the control valve when the gas pressure in the sprinkler piping network is at or below a value for tripping or actuating the pilot valve to the open position. The actuator assembly defines a neutral chamber that is at an intermediate pressure in comparison to pressures at the inlet port and the measuring port when the pilot actuator is in a stand-by state.
