US 6,386,232 B2 · Fluid distributor valve

Abstract

A fluid distributor valve including a chamber formed by a body and bonnet and having an intermediary plate through which a central shaft extends, a rotor being fitted around said central shaft and being submitted to the action of the fluid flowing into said chamber, said body having fluid outlet bottom orifices being each closed by a respective stopper, the stoppers being prised open by activation of a reducing gear connected to said rotor, This valve includes a controlling and arresting device by which the fluid passage towards the rotor is controlled and can even be totally blocked in order to thus adjust the time during which each outlet will be held open, and also in order to keep a given outlet open and all of the remaining outlets closed when the valve has been arrested.

A fluid distributor valve comprising:

a chamber (1) formed by a body (2) and a bonnet (3) and having an intermediary plate (4), a central shaft (5) extending through said intermediary plate and a rotor (6) being submitted to the action of the fluid flowing into said chamber, said body having fluid outlet bottom orifices (8) being each closed by a respective stopper, said stoppers being pried open by means activated by a reducing gear (15) connected to said rotor (6);
and
a controlling and arresting device structured and arranged so that the fluid passage towards rotor (6) is controlled and can even be totally blocked in order to thus adjust the time during which each outlet (8) will be held open, and also in order to keep a given outlet open and all of the remaining outlets closed when the valve has been arrested.

A fluid distributor valve comprising:

a chamber (1) having a body portion (2), a bonnet (3) and an intermediary plate (4);
a central shaft (5) extending through said intermediary plate (4);
a rotor (6) operatively coupled to said central shaft (5), said rotor (6) being subjected to a fluid flowing into said chamber (1);
a reducing gear (15) connected to said rotor (6);
wherein said body portion (2) is provided with a plurality of fluid outlet orifices (8) formed in a bottom surface thereof, each of said orifices (8) being closed by a respective stopper structured and arranged to be pried open by means activated by said reducing gear (15);
and
a controlling and arresting device structured and arranged to control fluid passage towards said rotor (6) and to block fluid passage towards said rotor (6) to thereby adjust the time during which each outlet (8) will be held open, and also to keep a given outlet (8) open and all of the remaining outlets (8) closed when said valve has been arrested.
