Abstract
Disclosed is a Y-type cylinder-controlled valve assembly which mainly consists of a valve body and a cylinder having a reduced upper portion. The reduced upper portion of the cylinder has an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of a piston in the cylinder and thereby serves as a means to define the maximum travel of the piston. Moreover, the valve body has an inclined cylinder-receiving sleeve which has an enlarged inner diameter than that of a conventional Y-type valve assembly and thereby effectively prevents the valve thereof from being frictionally stuck in the inclined sleeve due to any deviation of the valve by fluid passing through the valve body.
Claims3
A Y-type cylinder-controlled valve assembly comprising:
- a valve body having a through passage for fluid flow, a sleeve inclinedly extending outward from said passage, and an opening formed at an end of said inclined sleeve for communicating said sleeve with said passage;
- a cylinder connected to said inclined sleeve by means of a coupling sleeve and consisting of an inner piston, a main shaft extending from a bottom side of said piston toward and above said opening in said valve body, a lower cylinder seat having a port for sending high-pressure gas into said cylinder to actuate said piston, and a spring bearing against said piston to provide recovery force for said piston to return to an original position thereof;
- and
- a valve provided at a free end of said main shaft such that said valve is moved by said piston to open or close said opening is said valve body;
- wherein
- said cylinder has a reduced upper portion of which the inner diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of said piston, and a lower portion in which said piston reciprocates;
- said reduced upper portion of said cylinder serving as a means to stop said piston and thereby defining a maximum travel of said piston to minimize the force directly applied to said valve when said value is completely moved away from said opening toward said cylinder;
- and wherein
- said cylinder is coupled at an inside end thereof distal said valve to an indicator, said indicator extending out of a top end of said cylinder and being covered by a transparent hollow dust cap which seals said top of said cylinder.

- wherein
- said cylinder has a reduced upper portion of which the inner diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of said piston, and a lower portion in which said piston reciprocates;
- said reduced upper portion of said cylinder serving as a means to stop said piston and thereby defining a maximum travel of said piston to minimize the force directly applied to said valve when said value is completely moved away from said opening toward said cylinder;
- and wherein
- said inclined sleeve and, said cylinder, and said passage contain an angle of fifty-five degrees between them on a plane passing through a central axis of said valve body.
