Abstract

Distributor valve control, valve coupling (1) with a selector (2). It includes an engine (4) or group of engines (4) that move a rod (6), coupling to the selector (2) in coaxial position, rotating and sliding inside a fixed case (7), and a communication team (5) and motor command (4) or engines (4).

Description

DESCRIPTION

distributor valve control

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present application refers to a distributor valve control, applicable to valves that have several positions to divert the flow of liquid between different pipes, for example in swimming pool treatment plants.

STATE OF THE ART

It is known in the state of the art the existence of cleaning facilities, water treatment... that include filters, pumps, purge channels, etc. all of them controlled by one or more distributor valves that communicate the different elements with each other. These distributor valves comprise a series of access ports and a selector that joins the ports together, for which it must be lifted from its seat and rotated.

This method of movement of the selector implies that it is not possible to couple a mere motor to the shaft of the selector, but it is necessary to have a complex mechanism to be able to mechanize the movement.

The Applicant is not aware of any system that allows all these problems to be solved.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a control for distributor valves according to the first claim. Its different variants solve the outlined problems.

Thus, the distributor valve command, which can be coupled to valves with a selector, comprises a motor or group of motors (for example, one for rotating movement and the other for alternating linear movement) that move a rotating and sliding stem inside a fixed sleeve. A communication and command team gives the necessary orders to the motor or motors.

All of this can be in a supporting or protective structure that can be coupled to the valve casing.

Other variants are seen in the rest of the report.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, an embodiment of the invention is briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example of the latter.

Figure 1 shows an example of an embodiment with a distributor valve (1) that has a rotary selector (2) to communicate with each other the different pipes that connect with the valve (1). as it is known in the technique, these selectors need to be separated from their seat, by a vertical movement, before they can be repositioned.

The control of the embodiment comprises a bearing structure (3) that can be coupled to the valve casing (1). Inside the structure (3) there is a motor (4) (or group of motors (4)) with communication equipment (5), such as a telephone card, a router or other similar equipment (wireless preferably) capable of communicating with the outside, for example a server. The motor (4) is connected to a rotating and sliding rod (6) whose free end is fixed to the selector. The stem (6) shown has a fixed sheath (7) that ensures that the sliding movement of the stem (6) is transmitted only to the selector (2), similar to a Bowden cable. The stem (6) is coupleable to the selector (2) and connectable coaxially or through a cardan or the like.

The motor (4) or group of motors (4) will preferably be step by step.

The communication equipment (5) can receive the commands for direct transmission to the motor (4), or comprise a control unit, preferably programmable, which converts more general commands into the necessary movements of the stem (6). For example, a series of filter cleaning operations can be programmed in the control unit, with movements to be carried out and waiting time between them. This control unit and communication equipment (5) can be shared with other installation equipment, such as filters, pumps...

In this way, the user can program and monitor the status of his installation, for example a swimming pool treatment plant, remotely using a mobile application, a computer program or other similar equipment. This application will also allow you to monitor various installations, which can be organized in lists, on territory maps. depending on the type of user.
