DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the invention provides a linearly-adjustable valve body, which comprises a valve seat 1 and a valve core 2. The inside of the valve seat 1 is provided with a mounting hole 3 for housing the valve core 2. One end of the valve core 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 3 and can rotate relatively to the mounting hole 3. The two sides of the valve seat 1 are also respectively provided with an air inlet hole 4 and at least one air outlet hole 5 (the number of the air outlet hole 5 can be configured according to the number of pipelines controlled by the air outlet hole), and both the air inlet hole 4 and the air outlet hole 5 are communicated with the mounting hole 3. The inside of the valve core 2 is provided with a channel 6 communicated with the air inlet hole 4, the outer side wall of the valve core 2 is provided with two first through hole sets that are communicated with the channel 6 or two recesses 8 that have a gradient cross sectional area. The first through hole set comprises a plurality of first through holes 7 which are annularly distributed along the outer side wall of the valve core 2 and have gradient diameters. The recess 8 is distributed annularly along the outer side wall of the valve core 2, wherein one end of the recess 8 is communicated with the channel 6 through a second through hole. The position of the air outlet hole 5 corresponds to the first through hole set or the recess 8, and the diameter of the air outlet hole 5 is greater than the spacing between two adjacent first through holes 7. The mounting hole 3 is in a round table shape, and the end portion of the valve core 2 inserted into the mounting hole 3 is also in a round table shape, wherein the design of the round table shape enables the valve core 2 to be connected to the valve seat 1 more tightly. According to the invention, the overlapped area between the air outlet hole 5 and the first through hole set or the recess 8 is adjusted through rotating the valve core 2 so as to control the air inlet quantity, thus being capable of realizing continuous and linear adjusting. The invention has the advantages of simple structure, convenient manufacture, low cost, stable operation and high economic benefit.

Referring to the valve core 2 as shown in FIGS. 1-4, the width and the depth of the recess 8 are gradual, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the cross section to be gradual. FIG. 5 shows the second embodiment of the valve core 2. FIG. 6 shows the third embodiment of the valve core 2, wherein the depth of the recess 8 is gradual.

As shown in FIG. 7, the other end of the valve core 2 is connected to a knob 10 so as to drive the valve core 2 manually, or drive the valve core through a motor (with high degree of automation). In the case of the valve core driven through a motor, the other end of the valve core 2 is connected to a drive motor 9 which can drive the valve core through an external power supply or a built-in self-power generating device, such as a thermoelectric power generating device.

The foregoing embodiments are merely preferred schemes of the invention, and the invention may also have other implementation schemes. Those skilled in the art may make equivalent modification or replacement without departing from the spirit of the invention, and these equivalent modifications or replacements shall all fall within the scope of the claims of the present application.
