Abstract

A ventilation valve of a hydraulic jack is dedicated to be mounted at an outer wall of an oil storage tank of a hydraulic jack. The hydraulic jack includes a valve seat, a valve ball, and a cap. When the jack is not operated, a valve hole is opened; the vent of the cap is communicated with the oil storage tank of the jack so as to maintain the equilibrium of the pressure of the oil storage tank; thereby the piston of the pump can suck oil successfully so that the oil is absorbed into the oii chamber of the pump to be saturated therein. At the moment that the valve ball ejects upwards rapidly. the oil buffer chamber can buffer high pressure draining oil until the oil return operation of the jack is accomplished.

Description

VENTILATION VALVE OF HYDRAULIC JACK
(a) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to ventilation valves, and particularly to a ventilation valve of a hydraulic jack, wherein when the jack is not operated, a valve hole is opened; the vent of a cap of the jack is communicated with the oil storage tank of the jack so as to maintain the equilibrium of the pressure of the oil storage tank; thereby the piston of the pump can suck oil successfully so that the oil is drawn into the oil chamber of the pump to fill said oil chamber completely.
(b) Description of the Prior Art:
In the lifting process of a prior art jack, a piston of a pump draws oil from an oil storage tank into an oil chamber of a pump. Then oil is transferred into an inner oil tank. By the reciprocal operation of above process, the jack can lift upwards gradually. In the prior art design, the oil storage tank of a hydraulic jack is sealed completely. When the pump operates initially, the oil in the oil storage tank passes through the oil chamber of the pump and enters into the inner oil tank. The oil storage will reduce gradually. The less the oil storage, the smaller the pressure of the oil storage tank. As a result, the pressure will approach to a vacuum pressure. Thereby, the pumping operation becomes difficult so that the piston can draw oil successfully. Moreover, the oil cannot perform a complete filling. Thus, in each lifting process, a maximum efficiency can not be achieved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

According to the present invention, there is provided a ventilation valve to be mounted at an outer wall of an oil storage tank of a hydraulic jack, the oil storage tank being connected to an oil chamber of a pump provided with a piston, the ventilation valve including:
a valve seat which is a hollow seat, the valve seat being locked to the outer wall of the oil storage tank of the hydraulic jack and connected to the oil storage tank;
a valve ball;
a valve body received in the valve seat, the valve body being a hollow body, the valve body having an upper end formed with a valve hole having the valve ball therein, the valve body having a lower end formed with a stopper for keeping the valve ball in position in the valve body, the valve ball being installed within the valve body for controlling a closure of the valve hole; and a cap tightly combined with another end of the valve body, a vent communicated with the atmosphere being formed at a predetermined position of the cap; when the jack is not operated, the valve hole is opened; the vent of the cap is connected to the oil storage tank of the jack so as to maintain a pressure equilibrium of the oil storage tank with atmospheric pressure thereby, when the jack is operated, the piston of the pump is capable of sucking oil so that the oil is drawn into the oil chamber filling the oil chamber completely.
Preferably, a further object of the present invention is to provide a ventilation valve of a hydraulic jack, wherein when the oil of the jack flows along a return path in the oil buffer chamber between the valve seat and the cap, the valve ball will close the valve hole of the valve body by the upward ejection of the valve ball since a large amount oil in the oil groove returns to the oil storage tank rapidly in a high pressure so as to prevent the oil from flushing out.
Preferably, another object of the present invention is to provide a ventilation valve of a hydraulic jack, wherein at the moment that the valve ball ejects upwards rapidly, an oil buffer chamber can buffer high pressure draining oil until the oil return operation of 2a the ja'ck is accomplished after wholly descents. Since the pressure of the oil storage tank is reduced, the valve ball will fall down due to the gravitational effect so as to open the valve hole and as a result, the surplus gas is released. Thereby, the pressure of the oil storage tank of the jack is in equilibrium state with the atmosphere.

The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIP"ITON OFI'HE PI2EFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to Figs. 1 and 3, the ventilation valve of a hydraulic jack of the present invention is iliustrated. The ventilation valve of a hydraulic jack is dedicated to be used at an outer wall of an oil storage tank 101 of a hydraulic jack 10. The hydraulic jack 10 includes a valve seat 1, valve ball 3, a cap 4, etc.

The valve seat 1 is a hollow seat and one end thereof has a threaded section 11, which is locked to an outer wall of an oil storage tank 101 of a hydraulic jack 10 and is communicated to the oil storage tank 101. An 0 ring serves to seal the connection portion of the valve seat 1 and the oil storage tank 101. An interior of the valve seat 1 can receive a valve body 2. An upper end of the valve body 2 is installed with a buckling ring 13. An upper section of the valve seat 1 is extended with an oil buffer chamber 14 for storing oil temporarily.
The valve body 2 is a hollow body and is received in the valve seat 1. An upper end of the valve body 2 is formed with a valve hole 21 having a valve ball 3 therein. A lower end of the valve body 2 is formed with a stopping pin 22 or a proper stopper for keeping the valve ball 3 in position in the valve body. An outer wall of the valve body 2 has an annular groove 23 for embedding an oil seal 24.

The valve ball 3 is installed within the valve body 2. By the raising and descending of the valve ball 3, the valve hole 21 of the valve body 2 is controlled to be closed (referring to Fig. 6) or to be opened (referring to Fig. 4).

The cap 4 can be made of flexible plastic and an inner wall of the cap 4 has an annular rib 41 (referring to Fig. 4), thereby, the cap 4 can be combined with another end of the valve seat 2. A vent 42 communicated with outer space is formed at a predetermined position of the cap 4. An upper end of the cap is formed with a protruded piece 43 for holding the cap.

The ventilation valve made of above components will be installed to the outer wall of the oil storage tank 101 of the hydraulic jack 10. When the hydraulic jack 10 is not operated, the valve ball 3 of the ventilation valve will fall down due to gravitational effect (referring to Fig. 4), the valve hole 21 will be opened. Then the vent 42 of the cap 4 will be communicated with the oil storage tank 101 of the jack 10. The pressure in the oil storage tank 101 is in equilibrium with the atmosphere. Then the atmosphere is larger than the pressure of the oil chamber in the pump. By this pressure difference, the piston 20 of the pump will draw oil successfully so that oil is drawn into the oil chamber 201 of the pump 20 so as to completely fill said oil chamber. Thereby, each time the jack 10 is raised, it can be operated with an optimum effect.

'Ilen tlle oil of ttle jack 10 f1oxvs along a return path, in thr oil buffer chamber 14 betxveen the N-alx=e seat 2 and tile cap 4. tlle valve ball 3Nvill close tile valve hole 21 of the valve body 2 by the upxvarcl ejection of tlle valve ball 3 slllcc; a lar_ge amount oil in lllc oil groove 102 returns to the oil storaoe tank 101 1-apidly in a Iliih rressure (referrinà to FiL,,. 6) so as to prevent the oil fronl flushin'~
out. At the nlonlent that the valve ball 3 ejects upxvards rapicflN.
the oil btiffer chamber 14 can bttffer high pressure ci--ainiil", oil until the oil return operation ofthe _jack 10 is accoinplishc.l aftcr \~hollv descents. SitIce thc I)ressure oCthe oil stor,lge tanl: 101 is rCduced, the valve ball 3will fall clo\vn due to the gra~ itational effect so as to ollen the valve hole 21 so as to release the surplus as. Tilereby, the pressure of the oil storage tank 1 01 of the jack 10 is in equilibrium With the atmosphere. Next tinle as the jack 10 raises, the oil left in the oil buffcr chambei- 14 ~\ill be drawn into the oil storaoe tank 101 hV the Vacuum effect of the chanlher.
