Description
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLING VALVE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a temperature controlling valve that is adapted for a digital showering system to control a temperature of mixed hot and cold water, obtaining a desired showering temperature.
Description of the Prior Art Conventional temperature controlling valve is controlled in a disc rotating manner, and includes two rotary discs opposite to each other and two elongated holes to flow cold and hot waters respectively, and when one rotary disc rotates relative to another rotary disc, an inverse relationship exists between the cross sectional area of a first bore to flow hot water and the cross sectional area of a first orifice to flow cold water so as to become increased or decreased relatively, controlling cold-water and hot-water flowing amount to obtain a desired temperature.
The rotary discs are driven by a driving motor, wherein they are forced equally to engage with each other tightly, thereby preventing water from leak. However, such an operation will cause a large friction resistance when rotating the two rotary discs.
To overcome the friction resistance, a driving motor with high torque output is adapted for the temperature controlling valve at high cost and in a large size.
Furthermore, the conventional temperature controlling valve can not be used to control temperature precisely, because the rotating travel of the rotary disc is limited within 180 degrees of circumferential angle. Therefore, when the driving motor actuates the temperature controlling valve to rotate directly, an output shank of the driving motor is limited to rotate within a half circle rotating travel, and the driving motor capable of being rotated toward a desired angle precisely is required.
But such a precious driving motor is high-cost and larger-size.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a temperature controlling valve that is capable of overcoming the shortcomings of the conventional temperature controlling valve.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a temperature controlling valve that a general driving motor can replace the precious driving motor to lower the cost and size of the driving motor.
A temperature controlling valve in accordance with the present invention comprises:
a base including a peripheral wall, a first end wall, and a second end wall among which is defined a receiving groove; the peripheral wall includes two different axial positions to pass through a first tunnel for flowing hot water and a second tunnel for flowing cold water so as to further communicate with the receiving groove; the peripheral wall including a first passage arranged on one side thereof proximate to the second end wall to communicate with the receiving groove;
a housing limited in the receiving groove of the base and including a peripheral rim, among the peripheral rim and the peripheral wall of the base being defined a first external chamber to receive the hot water and to communicate with the first tunnel and defined a second external chamber to receive the cold water and to communicate with the second tunnel; the peripheral rim of the housing including at least one first bore to flow the hot water arranged thereon relative to the first external chamber, and including at least one first orifice to flow the cold water arranged thereon in relation to the second external chamber;
a valve core fitted to the housing and including an upper disc, a middle disc, and a lower disc; between the upper disc and the middle disc being defined a first internal chamber to receive the hot water; between the middle disc and the lower disc being defined a second internal chamber in the peripheral rim of the housing to receive the cold water; the middle disc including at least one first pore arranged thereon to communicate the first internal chamber with the second internal chamber;

Between the upper disc 42 and the middle disc 43 is defined a first internal chamber 403 to receive the hot water in the peripheral rim 31 of the housing 30 so that the first internal chamber 403 is in communication with the first external chamber 301 through the second bore 401 and the first bore 32, wherein between communicating and overlapping portions of the second bore 401 and the first bore 32 is defined a cross sectional area to flow the hot water.
Between the middle disc 43 and the lower disc 44 is defined a second internal chamber 404 in the peripheral rim 31 of the housing 30 so that the second internal chamber 404 is in communication with the second external chamber 302 via the second orifice 402 and the first orifice 33, wherein between communicating and overlapping portions of the second orifice 402 and the first orifice 33 is defined a cross sectional area to flow the cold water.
The middle disc 43 includes a plurality of first pores 431 arranged around a circumferential direction thereof and spaced apart from each other equally so that the first internal chamber 403 communicates with the second internal chamber 404.
The lower disc 44 includes a number of second pores 442 arranged around a circumferential direction thereof and spaced apart from each other evenly so that the second internal chamber 404 communicates with the first passage 26.
It is preferable that the first pores 431 of the middle disc 43 are not axially opposite to the second pores 442 so that after the hot water from the first pores 431 flows into the second internal chamber 402, the hot water can not further flow out of the second internal chamber 402 linearly but flow out of the second internal chamber 402 in a curvedly flowing manner, such that the hot water is mixed with the cold water in the second internal chamber 404 more evenly.
The lower disc 44 of the valve core 40 includes two defining tabs 443 extending from a bottom end thereof to be retained on one side of the limiting fences 212 so that the valve core 40 can not rotate but be limited to move vertically in the housing 30.
The rotating element 50, as illustrated in Figs. 5 and 10, is formed in a post shape and is pivoted on the first end wall 22 of the base 20 to move at an original position, and includes a connecting portion 51, a screwing portion 52, a projected portion 53 between the connecting portion 51 and the screwing portion 52, and a pivoting portion 45.
The rotating element 50 passes through the bearing 29, and the connecting portion 51 is located at an outer side of the bearing 29; the connecting portion 51 includes a fixing dent 511 formed on a distal end thereof, and two second screw apertures 512 radially passing through an inner surface thereof to inset and retain a retaining bolt 512 into the fixing dent 511.
The screwing portion 52 is substantially a screw shaft to screw with the first screw aperture 411 of the screwed tub portion 41 so as to actuate the valve core 40 to move upward and downward.
The projected portion 53 includes a third seal ring 531 retained thereon to engage with the first hole 283 of the upper cover 20b, and a top end of the projected portion 53 engages with a bottom end of the bearing 29.
The pivoting portion 54 is located between the projected portion 53 and the connecting portion 51 to insert through the bearing 29, the pivoting portion 51 of the rotating element 50 includes a locking member 55 disposed on an upper side thereof to retain the bearing 29 so that the rotating element 50 is limited axially to move at an original position.
The, driving motor 60, as shown in Figs. 5 and 10, includes an output shank 61 to be inserted to the fixing dent 511 of the rotating element 511, and includes two abutting planes 611 mounted on an outer surface of a free end thereof to retain with the retaining bolt 513 so that the output shank 61 connects with the connecting portion 51 of the rotating element 50 to be actuated to rotate by the rotating element 50.
The driving motor 60 is screwed with the upper cover 20b by using a plurality of third bolts 62.
Because the first pores 431 and the second pores 442 of the valve core 40 are not aligned with each other axially and some hot water flows into an upper space of the upper disc 42 via a second hole 422, the related seal rings are used to prevent water from leak between the upper cover 20b and the rotating element 50 and between the upper cover 20b and the body 20a.
Referring to Figs. 4-5, the hot water flows into the first external chamber 301 from the first tunnel 24 through the first bores 32 of the housing 30 and the second bore 401 of the valve core 40, and then flows downward to the second internal chamber 404 via the first pores 431 of the middle disc 43; and the cold water flows into the second external chamber 302 through the second tunnel 25 and further flows to the second internal chamber 404 via the first orifices 33 and the second orifice 402 so that the cold water and the hot water mix together evenly in the second internal chamber 404. Thereafter, the mixed cold and hot water flows to the first passage 26 from the second pores 442 of the lower disc 44 to supply showering water.
Besides, the temperature sensor 14 senses a temperature of the mixed hot and cold water, and when the sensed temperature does not match with a set temperature, the driving motor 60 is started automatically to actuate the rotating element 50 to rotate the valve core 40 toward a predetermined axial direction so that the cross sectional area to flow the hot water becomes increased or decreased with the change of the cross sectional area to flow the cold water, thus adjusting a mixed rate of the hot and the cold waters to obtain a predetermined temperature.
It is to be noted that the housing 30 and the valve core 40 are slidably fitted together, therefore a contacting portion of the housing 30 and the valve core 40 are worked to form a smooth surface to lower friction resistance when the valve core 40 moves axially, hence a torque of the driving motor 60 is decreased greatly.
For example, the torque of the driving motor 60 of the temperature controlling valve 1 of the present invention is lowered to 0.05N-M to diminish cost and occupied space of the driving motor 60.
Because the valve core 40 is screwedly actuated by the rotating element 50 to move axially, a pitch of a screwing structure between the valve core 40 and the rotating element 50 can be lowered so that a moving distance of the valve core actuated by the rotating element 50 is decreased greatly to adjust the cross sectional areas to flow the hot and the cold waters precisely, hence the mixed rate of the hot and the cold waters is controlled accurately to enhance temperature controlling efficiency.
Furthermore, if an axially vertical moving travel of the valve core 40 is increased, the cross sectional areas to flow the hot and the cold waters allows to be adjusted so that the mixed rate of the hot and the cold waters is controlled exactly to control temperature efficiently. Therefore, an axial width of the first bores 32 and the first orifices 33 of the housing 30 has to be increased and an axial width of the second bore 401 and the second orifice 402 of the valve core 40 has to be raised.
When the pitch of the screwing structure between the valve core 40 and the rotating element 50 is lowered or the axially vertical moving travel of the valve core 40 is increased, a general driving motor can replace the precious driving motor 60 to lower the cost and size of the driving motor.
