  • This invention relates to an actuator which uses fluid pressure generated by means of an electromagnetic pump to drive valves or the like, and more particularly, to a pump drive valve device for simultaneously driving a plurality of loads.
  • a main valve and a main gas valve are provided in series in a gas supply system leading to a main burner, and a pilot gas valve is provided in a gas supply system leading to a pilot burner branched from the intermediate portion therebetween.
  • independent electromagnetic valves have to be used for the main valve, the main gas valve and the pilot gas valve, respectively, and piping and a circuit for performing control in accordance with the determined sequence become complicated.
  • a directly moving type proportional electromagnetic valve is used but this valve requires a great stroke so that an axially lengthy magnetic coil must be used and there poses an inconvenience in that the reliability of the operation is poor.
  • a composite actuator wherein two pressure chambers are provided, each chamber being provided with responsive members which are different in actuating pressure from each other whereby during the process that pressure on the discharge side of the electromagnetic pump increases, the first responsive member is first driven and then the second responsive member is proportionally actuated.
  • the range of pressure at which the second responsive member is proportionally actuated is limited to the range from the actuating pressure of the first responsive member to the maximum discharge pressure of the electromagnetic pump, and a large capacity electromagnetic pump has to be used in order to increase said proportional range.
  • a pump drive valve device comprising a first chamber and a second chamber in communication with a suction side and a discharge side, respectively, of an electromagnetic pump, a communicating passage to communicate said first and second chambers with each other, a flow control member provided on said communicating passage to maintain pressure within said second chamber at a predetermined value, a responsive member displaced in sense to the pressure within said second chamber, and a first valve device actuated to be opened and closed by displacement of said responsive member, wherein said first valve device is maintained at its open position by maintaining the pressure within said second chamber at a predetermined value when said electromagnetic pump is actuated.
  • Fig. 1 shows the construction of a gas hot water supply device to which a control valve of the present invention is applied, the device comprising a pilot burner 1, a main burner 2 and a heat exchanger 3.
  • a controller 4 receives a heat demand signal and after a predetermined period of prepurge time, transmits an actuating signal to an igniter 5 and a control valve CV.
  • the control valve CV comprises three valves Vl, V2 and V3, which correspond to a main valve, a pilot gas valve and a main gas valve, respectively, and a valve drive device for driving said valves, that is, an actuator VA.
  • the actuator VA When a first actuating signal is received, the actuator VA first causes the first and second valves Vl and V2 to open whereby gas is supplied to the pilot burner 1 to provide an ignition trial by means of a spark generated by the output of the igniter 5 which has been actuated.
  • a flame detector 6 detects such ignition to feed an ignition detection signal to the controller 4.
  • the controller 4 transmits a second actuating signal to the control valve CV whereby the third valve V3 is opened by the actuator VA.
  • the actuator VA while being supplied with the first actuating signal from the controller 4, maintains pressure within a pressure chamber which will be described in detail later at a first value to thereby open the first and second valves Vl and V2.
  • a second actuating signal is supplied to the actuator, the actuator causes the pressure within the pressure chamber to elevate from the first value to a second value to open the third valve V3 while maintaining the first and second valves Vl and V2 in their open state.
  • Fig. 2 shows the relationship between the pressure within the pressure chamber and the opening operation of the valves Vl, V2 and V3.

  • the contact S2 is controlled so that it is turned on at a low pressure Pl while being turned off at a high pressure P2.
  • the first actuating signal having the voltage of such waveform is supplied, when a plunger of an electromagnetic pump of the control valve CV is moved, after moved in one direction by the voltage on the positive side, in a direction opposite thereto, the speed of the plunger is increased by the voltage on the negative side to thereby reduce an output pressure of the electromagnetic pump.
  • a crest value of the voltage on the negative side is determined by the magnitude of the resistor Rl connected in parallel with the diode Dl, and thus, by suitably selecting said value, the output pressure in the low output pressure state of the electromagnetic pump may be suitably set.
  • the contact S2 is turned off and the second actuating signal of the voltage corresponding to a half wave of an alternating current of the waveform as shown in Fig. 4(B) is supplied to the input end of the control valve CV.
  • first and second actuating signals can be signals which are different in frequency from each other.
  • a pressure differential is produced by a difference of the moving speed of the plunger of the electromagnetic pump.

  • the first responsive member 16 displaced in sense to pressure within the second chamber 24 is connected to the valve 13 by means of a shaft 31.
  • the valve 13 is normally urged against a valve seat 33 by the action of a spring 32 disposed in the casing 11 but as the responsive member 16 moves downwardly as viewed in Fig. 6 by increase in pressure within the second chamber 24, the valve 13 is moved away from the valve seat 33 against the spring 32, and in this condition, the gas introduced into an inlet passage 34 flows into a distribution passage 35.

  • the movable member 54 has a small hole 55 through which oil within the dash pot 52 can flow in a limited flow rate and therefore, the member 54 is moved slowly within the dash pot 52. For this reason, when pressure within the third chamber.25 increases and the responsive member 17 is moved downwardly, the movement of the movable member is effected at a low speed. This delaying action is also effected when the movable member is returned to its original position by the action of the spring 53.

  • the plunger 19 feeds under pressure the fluid within the first chamber 23 to the second chamber 24 and the third chamber 25, and said fluid is circulated in such a manner that the fluid is returned to the first chamber 23 while receiving a determined resistance whereby the pressure of the second chamber 24 and third chamber 25 increases up to the first value.
  • Pressure developed within the second chamber 24 acts to force the responsive member 16 downwardly in Fig. 6 whereby the valves 13 and 14 are simultaneously opened to supply gas to the pilot burner.
  • pressure developed within the third chamber 25 acts to force the responsive member 17 downwardly, the responsive member 17 is not displaced by said pressure.
  • the responsive member 17 begins its gradual downward movement under the decelerating action of the dash pot 52 and the valve 15 begins to open at the time when the stepped portion 51a of the shaft 51 is moved down to the position in which the stepped portion engages the lever 62 to begin the gradual supply of gas to the main burner.

  • mechanical delaying means including a dash pot provided in the responsive member can provide a necessary differential with the operating timing of two valves and therefore is suitable for the operation of the valve when the main burner is ignited in a given time after the ignition of the pilot burner, for example.
  • a plurality of valve means can be opened and closed by means of a single valve drive device at the desired time and in the predetermined order.
  • the control valve is applied to control the gas in the combustor shown in Fig. 1, high reliability may be obtained by the positive operation and the entire structure may be designed compactly.
  • a plurality of valve means can be controlled by means of a single electromagnetic pressure feed device, and each of the valve devices can be on/off controlled or proportionally controlled. Accordingly, it becomes easy to control the flow rate of fuel gas of the gas combustor, and the positiveness of operation may be enhanced.
  • the present invention is designed so that the on/off valve and proportional valve inserted in series in the gas flow passage are driven by means of a single actuator, and the switch is used to detect if the on/off valve is open.
  • the stabilized control may be performed even if the operating regions of the on/off valve and proportional valve are brought into closer.
  • a valve which is open at a higher pressure than the actuating pressure of the first responsive member but is.not closed until the pressure decreases to a level lower than said pressure, is inserted into a passage of the actuating oil for exerting the pressure, which exerts on the first responsive member, on the second responsive member, and therefore, even if the lower limit value in the range of pressure at which the second responsive member is actuated proportionally is set to the same value as the actuating pressure of the first responsive member or to the value close thereto, there occurs no inconvenience in that the second responsive member is displaced prior to the first responsive member. For this reason, it is possible to increase the range of pressure at which the second responsive member is actuated proportionally, thus realizing an actuator which is small in size and excellent in controllability.
