In a Valve, grid-patterned, fixed wall(s) and movable gate plate/plug are built in the hub to control the conduction area. Adjustable spring is applied to push the gate/plug firmly against the fixed wall(s). The structure alteration reduces the travel length required to switch the valve between open and closed states. Since the open/close state is self-sustaining at its last switched state due to friction, no holding energy is required in the actuator. Consequently, a small linear operation solenoid can be used in impulse mode to operate the valve. Due to its low cost, separate solenoids are used to respectively pull open and close the valve in lieu of applying an auto-direction-conversion mechanism. A bimetallic strip contact in series with a resister, packaged together in a thermal isolating tube, is used to prevent the low-duty solenoid from excessive stress-time.
1) A shortened switching length gate valve, comprising:
2) The shortened switching length gate valve claimed in claim (1), wherein the seal and gate plates have curved shapes continued supporting the linear displacement gate switching, perpendicular to the grid slots.
3) The shortened switching length gate valve claimed in claim (1), wherein the rear seal plate is a detachable plate, being framed in the hub with movement freedom only allowed in the direction pushing against the gate plate toward the front seal plate, using a spring load.
4) A shortened switching angle ball valve, comprising:
5) The shortened switching angle ball valve claimed in claim (4), wherein the socket and plug has other shapes continued supporting rotational switching.
6) A time delayed recovery, automatic circuit breaker, comprising:
7) A gate type Easy-Control Valve, comprising:
8) A ball type Easy-Control Valve, comprising:
