The present invention is related to an oil-hydraulic type automatic shutoff valve water-saving structure, including a valve housing having a separation portion disposed therein to divide a water inlet tube, a water outlet port, and a valve chamber thereby and form a water-collecting space, a preset channel, and a water outlet channel respectively at the interior of the valve housing therein so that when an oil-hydraulic type automatic shutoff valve is mounted into the valve chamber thereof, water flow accommodated at the water-collecting space therein can be individually separated from an oil storage portion of the automatic shutoff valve, precisely preventing the automatic shutoff valve from soaking in the water flow and causing the problem of water leakage into an outer cap thereof, and efficiently maintaining the hydraulic pressure and the lubrication of the oil accommodated at the oil storage portion therein to facilitate a smooth and accurate push operation of the present invention thereof and prolong the using life time thereof.
A conventional oil-hydraulic type automatic shutoff valve as shown in the Taiwan Patent No. 471585 (referring to the attached patent document with the application No. 89210319) is characterized by the design of an automatic shutoff valve 4 completely accommodated into a valve chamber 32 of a valve housing 3 and directly immersed in water flow, which over long time of application can make water sealing rings 414, 4771, 4772 mounted therein lose their flexible property and fail to maintain accurate sealing-up effects. Thus, part of the water flow tends to leak into an outer cap 41 and mix up with oil A accommodated therein, which, affecting the interior pressure and reducing the lubrication effect of the oil thereof, can lead to an awkward and difficult push operation of the conventional oil-hydraulic automatic shutoff valve thereof.
It is, therefore, the primary purpose of the present invention to provide an oil-hydraulic type automatic shutoff valve water-saving structure, including a valve housing having a separation portion disposed therein to divide a water inlet tube, a water outlet port, and a valve chamber thereby and form a water-collecting space, a preset channel, and a water outlet channel respectively at the interior of the valve housing therein so that when an oil-hydraulic type automatic shutoff valve is mounted into the valve chamber thereof, water flow accommodated at the water-collecting space therein can be individually separated from an oil storage portion of the automatic shutoff valve, precisely preventing the automatic shutoff valve from soaking in the water flow and causing the problem of water leakage into an outer cap thereof, and efficiently maintaining the hydraulic pressure and the lubrication of the oil accommodated at the oil storage portion therein to facilitate a smooth and accurate push operation of the present invention thereof and extend the using life time thereof.
It is, therefore, the second purpose of the present invention to provide an oil-hydraulic type automatic shutoff valve water-saving structure wherein via an adjusting cylinder of a second central shaft, a cavity of a first central shaft, and a cylindrical channel of a pressure valve that are reciprocally communicated for the accommodation of a regulating pin with a tapered regulating needle therein, the regulating pin can be speedily and accurately adjusted to modify the distance between the tapered regulating needle and a thru-hole section of the second central shaft, permitting easy and precise regulation of the automatic shutoff valve to control the time-length and amount of water discharge according to the need of a user to achieve the best using state and save water resource thereby.

Please refer to FIGS. 2 to 3 inclusive. In assembly, the first central shaft 22 is guided through the cylindrical chamber 211 of the outer cap 21 to come out through the pivoting hole 215 till the conic tapered stop head 221 thereof is abutted against the bottom section of the cylindrical chamber 211 thereof. The inner positioning block 23 is accommodated into the cylindrical chamber 211 till the conic tapered engaging hole 231 is reciprocally mounted to the conic tapered stop head 221 of the first central shaft 22 to form a guide-push effect thereby. Then, the small spring 24 and the retaining block 25 are sequentially guided into the cylindrical chamber 211 till the retaining flange 253 thereof is abutted against the limiting flange 214 thereof, permitting the small spring 24 to be resiliently sandwiched and supported at the retaining seat 251 of the retaining block 25 and the positioning seat 233 of the inner positioning block 23 there-between. And, processing tools are applied to the tooling recesses 2194 of the sealing cover 219 so as to fixedly secure the external threads 2191 to the inner locking section 212 of the outer cap 21 thereby. The big spring 26 is then accommodated into the retaining seat 2193 of the sealing cover 219, and the second central shaft 27 is sequentially threaded through the central thru-hole 2192 of the sealing cover 219, the retaining thru-hole 252 of the retaining block 25, and the small spring 24 to accommodate into the cylindrical chamber 211 and compress the big spring 26 till the fixing end 277 thereof is securely locked to the inner threaded portion 226 of the first central shaft 22. Meanwhile, the abutting flange 276 of the second central shaft 27 is resiliently supported by the big spring 26, which will synchronically pull at the first central shaft 22 and the inner positioning block 23 to compress the small spring 24 closely abutting against the retaining block 25 thereby. Then, the conic positioning ring 232 and the sealing hoop 256 thereof are respectively abutted tight against the inner wall at the upper section of the cylindrical chamber 211 thereof. And, the stop ring 218 is simultaneously accommodated close into the annular groove 217 and mounted to the movement rod 222 thereof so as to seal off the pivoting hole 215 of the outer cap 21 thereby, permitting the bottom section defined by the inner positioning block 23 and the cylindrical chamber 211 thereof to form an oil storage portion 2111 into which an appropriate amount of oil A can be injected via the adjusting cylinder 271 of the second central shaft 27 thereby. The oil A injected via the adjusting cylinder 271 thereof will flow through the cavity 228 of the first central shaft 22 and enter the oil storage portion 2111 via the apertures 227 to accommodate therein. The regulating pin 29 is then located into the adjusting cylinder 271 of the second central shaft 27 therein with the sealing O-ring 292 thereof closely abutted against the inner wall thereof so as to completely seal up the cylindrical chamber 211 of the outer cap 21 thereby. A tool B is applied to the tool regulating groove 291 to lock the outer threaded portion 293 of the regulating pin 29 to an appropriate position of the internally threaded portion 272 of the second central shaft 27 till the regulating needle 294 thereof extends precisely into the thru-hole section 273 of the second central shaft 27 so as to generate an appropriate oil pressure at the interior thereof. Then, the internal threads 2831 of the water inlet valve 28 is fixedly secured to the external threaded end 216 of the outer cap 21 to form a preset gap with the first central shaft 22 in a space defined by the water inlet annular groove 225, the positioning ring 223, and the water flow channel 281 thereof. The stop ring 218 accommodated at the annular groove 217 of the outer cap 27 therein will be located at the first connecting seat 283 of the water inlet valve 28 corresponding to the water flow channel 281 thereof. The sealing ring 2241 and the washer 2242 are sequentially led and mounted to the outer threaded portion 224 of the first central shaft 22 and fixedly secured thereto via the screw nut 2243, permitting the sealing ring 2241 to closely abut against the protrusive ring 2841 and the outer threaded portion 224 so as to seal off the water flow channel 281 thereby to complete the assembly of the oil-hydraulic automatic shutoff valve 20 thereof. Then, the pressure valve 30 is guided through the limiting pivot hole 53 of the fixing connector 50 till the locating block 34 is abutted against the second limiting seat 55 thereof, and the inner threaded end 51 of the fixing connector 50 is reciprocally screwed up to the outer locking section 213 of the outer cap 21 till the first limiting seat 54 is abutted against the end edge of the outer cap 21 thereof, permitting the abutting flange 276 of the second central shaft 27 and the big spring 26 to locate at the receiving groove 33 of the pressure valve 30 and the accommodating cavity 52 of the fixing connector 50 therein. The actuating cap 43 and the press head 40 are sequentially mounted to the pressure valve 30, permitting the positioning insert block 41 to reciprocally engage with the insert slot 431 and correspondingly match to the annular locating groove 32 of the pressure valve 30 thereby. The screw bolt 42 is applied to abut tight against the annular locating groove 32 and stably located therein so as to prevent the press head 40 from coming off from the automatic shutoff valve 20 thereof, and the tool regulating groove 291 of the regulating pin 29 is precisely aligned to match with the cylindrical channel 31 of the pressure valve 30 and the engaging thru-hole 432 of the actuating cap 43 thereof. The automatic shutoff valve 20 is then located into the valve chamber 12 of the valve housing 10 till the press head 40 is reciprocally secured to the valve chamber 12 thereof. Meanwhile, the water sealing packing 2842 is closely abutted against the stop seat 132 of the separation portion 13 to seal off the opening 131 thereby, cutting the preset channel 15 off from the water collecting channel 14 to close the discharge of water thereby. Therefore, via the water flow of the water collecting channel 16 individually separated from the oil storage portion 2111 of the automatic shutoff valve 20, the present invention can precisely refrain the automatic shutoff valve 20 from soaking constantly in the water flow as shown in the above-mentioned conventional automatic shutoff valve and avoid the risk of water leakage into the outer cap 21 thereof so as to maintain appropriate pressure and lubrication of the oil A accommodated at the oil storage portion 2111 therein and ensure a smooth and accurate push operation thereof, efficiently facilitating a durable and longer using lifetime thereof.
Please refer to
In application, the press head 40 is pushed to sequentially move the actuating cap 43, the pressure valve 30, the second central shaft 27, the big spring 26, and the first central shaft 22 therewith, permitting the conic stop head 221 to detach from the conic engaging hole 231 of the inner positioning block 23 with a space revealed thereby for the oil A accommodated at the oil storage portion 2111 to speedily flow forwards through the revealed space thereof. While the oil A flows forwards into the newly opened space thereof, the inner positioning block 23 will be elastically brought backwards by the small spring 24. Once the press head 40 is pushed to the end, the inner positioning block 23 will be synchronically pressed to the bottom by the compressed small spring 24 thereof, permitting the conic engaging hole 231 to register again with the conic stop head 221 thereof so as to block the oil A from flowing backwards. Meanwhile, the water inlet annular groove 225 of the first central shaft 22 will extend into the water-collecting space 14 to form an annular gap with the opening 131 thereby, through which water flow C accommodated inside the water-collecting space 14 can go so as to enter the water flow channel 281 of the water inlet valve 28 and flow out there-from via each water outlet 282 to enter the valve chamber 12 thereby. Via the preset channel 15 thereof, the water flow coming into the valve chamber 12 thereof can flow through the water outlet chamber 16 to be discharged outwards through the water outlet port 121 thereof. Once the pushed press head 40 is released, the press head 40, the first and second central shafts 22, 27 will be sprung backwards by the big spring 26, and the rebounded conic stop head 221 thereof will simultaneously bring backwards the inner positioning block 23 therewith. Because the space in front of the inner positioning block 23 is filled with the oil A, the oil A is simply allowed to pass through the narrow orifices 275 of the second central shaft 27 and go along the adjusting cylinder 271 and the cavity 228 of the first central shaft 22 to slowly flow backwards into the oil storage space 2111 thereof via the apertures 227 thereof, permitting the press head 40, the first and the second central shafts 22, 27 and the inner positioning block 23 to slowly recover their former positions at an appropriate speed, and the water inlet annular groove 225 of the first central shaft 22 to withdraw backwards into the water flow channel 281 and close tightly up again by the sealing ring 2241 thereof. Meanwhile, the opening 131 will be securely sealed up by the water sealing packing 2842 so as to block the water flow inside the water-collecting space 14 to shut off the water discharge thereby. Therefore, the water flow will be accurately separated from the valve chamber 12 so that the automatic shutoff valve 20 can refrain from soaking in water flow and can keep dry when the water discharge is shutoff, efficiently preventing the gathering of water stains and the leaking of water into the outer cap 21 therein. Besides, in the state of water discharge, water pressure will be guided along the first central shaft 22 to push against the indented recess 2181 of the stop ring 218, permitting both lateral sidewalls of the indented recess 2181 affected by the pressure thereof to deform and closely abut against the inner wall of the annular groove 217 and the outer wall of the first central shaft 22 respectively so as to accurately prevent water from leaking into the outer cap 21, achieving the best using state of the present invention thereby.
