Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an air supply valve having a backflow prevention function and a valve module, for preventing backflow of air or gas through an outlet. The air supply valve includes a housing that includes a motor mounted therein and in which a supply flow path and an outlet of air are formed, a driver including a gear part for transmitting driving force of the motor and a converter for converting rotation of the gear part to linear motion, and a valve module that is coupled to an end of the converter and is opened while being spaced apart from the outlet of the housing to be connected to the supply flow path or is closed while being in contact with the outlet.
Claims20
An air supply valve having a backflow prevention function, comprising:
- a housing that includes a motor mounted therein and in which a supply flow path and an outlet of air are formed;
- a driver including a gear part for transmitting driving force of the motor and a converter for converting rotation of the gear part to linear motion;
- and
- a valve module that is coupled to an end of the converter and is opened while being spaced apart from the outlet of the housing to be connected to the supply flow path or is closed while being in contact with the outlet,
- wherein the driver includes a stem that is connected to the valve module and moves in a straight line,
- wherein a support of the valve module is coupled and fixed to the stem, and
- wherein a shielding part of the valve module is provided to relatively move with respect to the support and the stem, is provided to be moved by a pressure of air applied to the valve module, closes the outlet by receiving a pressure of backflow air when backflow applied to the valve module is generated, is lowered according to a larger air pressure than elastic force of an elastic part, applied from an upper part of the shielding part, and is raised according to a pressure of backflow air applied from a lower part of the shielding part.
A valve module for selectively opening and closing the outlet according to linear motion of a stem of a valve in an outlet of a valve housing, comprising:
- a support provided at an end of the stem;
- a shielding part provided to relatively move with respect to the support and the stem, provided to be moved by a pressure of air applied to the valve module valve module, and closing the outlet by receiving a pressure of backflow air when backflow applied to the valve module is generated;
- and
- an elastic part configured to elastically support the shielding part against the support,
- wherein the shielding part is lowered according to a larger air pressure than elastic force of the elastic part, applied from an upper part of the shielding part, and is raised according to a pressure of backflow air applied from a lower part of the shielding part.
