Disclosed is a four-way reversing valve, including a valve body, a motor transmission structure, and a reversing valve disc; the valve body includes a valve seat, an insulation sleeve welded to upper end surface of the valve seat, a D pipe, an S pipe, a C pipe, and an E pipe connected to lower end surface of the valve seat; the motor transmission structure includes motor worm gear and shaft transmission assembly and a planetary gearbox kit; the motor worm gear and shaft transmission assembly is sleeved onto upper external wall of the insulation sleeve through shaft hole of an external drive sprocket, and a non-through blind-hole is formed in a valve seat center; a central shaft is embedded into the blind-hole, and the central shaft connects the reversing valve disc and the planetary gearbox kit; the reversing valve disc and the planetary gearbox kit are inside the insulation sleeve.
Actuator and compact EGR valve
An actuator is driven by a brushless motor having a rotor with axially extended magnets, permitting axial movement of the rotor while maintaining overlap between the magnets and a stator secured in a fixed position. The rotor is engaged with a fixed structure by a connection such as a ramp or thread that translates rotation into axial movement of the rotor along a rotational axis of the actuator. A valve member coupled to the rotor moves axially between a closed position and a range of positions that regulate fluid flow through a valve. A motor control circuit applies power to the stator coils to rotate the rotor and coupled valve member to a desired axial position and maintain the rotor and valve member at the selected position. The rotor and valve member may be biased toward a rotational position corresponding to a closed position of the valve member.
Anti-surge recycle valve
An anti-surge recycle valve system for a natural gas line using a pipeline rotary control valve for controlling gas flow through the gas line and a valve controller having a surge-programmable feature including a threshold setpoint deviation limit, which is used to control first and second control valve loops. The first solenoid valve loop drives a rotary high-pressure piston actuator when the linear position sensor determines a setpoint deviation in gas flow below the threshold deviation, and the second solenoid valve loop drives the rotary high-pressure piston actuator when the linear position sensor determines a setpoint deviation in gas flow above the threshold deviation. The system provides ultra-rapid stroking speed in tandem with highly accurate and stable positioning.
SEALING DIAPHRAGM FOR A FLUID VALVE AND FLUID VALVE
A sealing diaphragm for a fluid valve is provided. The fluid valve includes a valve housing and a drive unit, the sealing diaphragm being of hat-like design and being configured for enclosing, on the free-end side, a portion of a valve-closing body which projects into the valve housing of the fluid valve. The sealing diaphragm can include a base portion which is configured to be rotationally asymmetrical on the outer circumferential side, the base portion being provided to abut in a form-fitted manner against an opening of the valve housing, and the base portion of the sealing diaphragm being configured to be received between the valve housing and the drive unit in such a way that the opening of the valve housing is sealed in a fluid-tight manner towards the drive unit.
Valve device
A recess 22 provided in a passage block 20; a diaphragm covering the recess 22 to form a valve chest 21 in which a fluid flows; an inflow port 23 opened at the recess 22 and allowing the fluid to flow into the valve chest 21; an NC outflow port 24 and an NO outflow port 25 opened at the recess 22 and allowing the fluid to flow out from the valve chest 21; by oscillating the diaphragm, the diaphragm is closely fitted to any one of a first valve seat 24b formed by an opening 24a of the NC outflow port 24 and a second valve seat 25b formed by an opening 25a of the second outflow port 25, to allow the fluid in the valve chest 21 to flow out from the other outflow port. The recess 22 has a first inclined portion 81 and a second inclined portion 82 having a depth gradually increasing from the first valve seat 24b and the second valve seat 25b toward the inflow opening 23.
Valve assembly controlled by electromagnet
This disclosure relates to a valve assembly for a motor vehicle, such as a pressure relief valve (i.e., an “air extractor”), and a method of using the same. In an example, the valve assembly includes a flap moveable to between an open position and a closed position, a slider moveable along an axis and including an integrally formed arm in contact with the flap, and an electromagnet configured to be selectively activated to move the slider along the axis.

Overfill prevention valve
An overfill valve associated with a drop tube segment fluidly connected to a fluid reservoir is described. The overfill valve includes a valve body positioned within the drop tube segment and a non-contact valve actuator positioned exterior to the drop tube segment and operable to actuate the valve body from an open position to a closed position without requiring any physical penetration through the wall of the drop tube segment. The non-contact valve actuator has a first position in which the non-contact valve actuator does not actuate the valve body from the open position to the closed position in a second position, achieved when the liquid reservoir reaches a predetermined level approaching the capacity of the liquid reservoir, the non-contact valve actuator actuating the valve body from the open position to the closed position when the non-contact valve actuator obtains the second position.
COIL ASSEMBLY AND ITS USE IN A VALVE
A coil assembly, e.g., for use a valve, is disclosed.
