Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent abrasion damage of a seal material due to sliding of a valve element in a slide-type three-way valve for a hot water supply system.SOLUTION: A three-way valve V switches a flow channel by rotating a valve element 21 on the same plane in a casing 10. A valve shaft 22 is axially movable, a valve separation cam is disposed between opposed faces of the valve element 21 and a partitioning wall 16, and a valve pressing cam is disposed between opposed faces of the valve element 21 and the casing 10. Cam faces 31, 41 of both cams have high/low position parts, and the valve element 21 is separated from a valve seat by sliding sliders 32, 42 on the cam faces 31, 41. By the contact and separation, the valve element 21 is surely closely brought into contact with the valve seat through the seal material 23 and closes a valve hole in closing the valve, and the seal material 23 moves without keeping into contact with the valve seat and the partitioning wall 16 in transferring from one valve hole 18a to the other valve hole 18b. Thus abrasion damage of the seal material 23 due to sliding of the valve element 21 can be reduced as much as possible.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to a gas water heater, an electric water heater, an oil water heater, a water heater attached to a cogeneration system, a hot water supply system having a solar water heater, etc., and a piping of a hybrid hot water system combining these water heaters. The present invention relates to a slide-type three-way valve for a hot water supply system interposed in the interior.

A conventional three-way valve provided in this type of hot water supply system needs to be small in size, and a ball-shaped valve body is provided in a casing having a three-way port, and the valve body is rotated to rotate one of the three-way ports. A ball-type three-way valve that closes the direction and communicates the two-way is common (see Patent Document 1).
On the other hand, as a sliding three-way valve, an inlet and two outlets are provided in a casing, and a valve that rotates on a plane having both outlets is slid (slid) to selectively select both outlets. Some open and close (see Patent Document 2, Claims for Utility Model Registration, FIGS. 2 and 3).
Further, in a valve having a plurality of outlets, there is a technique in which when the valve is opened, the valve element is separated from the valve seat by a cam mechanism to prevent wear damage of the valve seat seal (see Patent Documents 3 and 4).

  In the ball valve, there is a problem that the ball valve body and the valve hole valve seat are always in contact with each other, and the sealing performance of both of them deteriorates due to aging. For this reason, in the three-way valve for the hot water supply system, a slide type object is required instead of a ball valve type. Although this slide type three-way valve can reduce the number of parts as compared with the ball valve, when the slide type is adopted (used), the three-way valve of Patent Document 2 is large and is used for a hot water supply system. In addition, when the valve body slides, there is a high possibility that the valve body slides strongly against the valve hole valve seat seal and damages the valve seat seal.

  Under the above circumstances, the present invention adopts a sliding type in a three-way valve for a hot water supply system, and aims to minimize deterioration of the sealing performance of the valve seat by the cam mechanisms of Patent Documents 3 and 4. And

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention first enables the sliding valve body to be moved in the axial direction of the valve shaft in the sliding three-way valve.
If the valve body can move in the axial direction of the valve shaft, the cam mechanism can press the valve body against the valve hole valve seat when the valve is closed, and the valve body can be separated from the valve hole valve seat when the valve is opened. it can. For this reason, even when the valve body is slid during the transition from the valve closing to the valve opening, the sliding between the valve hole valve seat and the valve body valve seat can be reduced as much as possible. Wear damage can be eliminated.
Next, the cam mechanism is constituted by a valve separation cam surface having a concavo-convex height portion around the valve axis of the valve body and a slider sliding on the cam surface.
If the valve element is moved in the axial direction by a slider sliding on the cam surface, the contact and separation of the valve element with respect to the valve hole valve seat can be performed.

As one configuration of the present invention, a valve body is provided in a casing with a rotary valve shaft so as to be rotatable around the valve shaft, the inside of the casing is partitioned into an inflow portion and an outflow portion by a partition wall, and the casing of the inflow portion is provided. In addition to forming an inflow port in the casing, two outflow ports are formed in the casing of the outflow portion, valve holes leading to the respective outflow ports are formed in the same plane on the partition wall, and a valve hole valve is formed on the plane around each valve hole. When the valve body is closed with the valve body, the valve body valve seat is formed on the surface of the valve body that contacts the valve hole valve seat, and the valve body rotates along the plane to In a sliding three-way valve for a hot water supply system that selectively opens and closes a valve hole via a valve hole valve seat and a valve body valve seat,
The valve body is integrated with the valve shaft and is movable in the axial direction, and is provided on one of the opposing surfaces of the valve body and the partition wall, with a concavo-convex height portion around the valve shaft with respect to the valve shaft center direction. A valve-separating cam surface is formed, and the other is provided with a projecting slider that slides on the cam surface. Further, the valve is arranged around the valve shaft on one of the opposing surfaces of the valve body and the casing. A cam surface for pressing the valve having a concavo-convex height with respect to the axial direction is formed, and on the other side, a projecting slider that slides on the cam surface is provided. Convex high part where the slider fits at the position where the valve hole is closed, and at the position where the valve body opens the valve hole, the slider is lifted from the concave low part via the inclined surface The cam surface for valve pressing is opposite to the cam surface for valve separation. In the position where the valve element opens the valve hole, the convex part is a concave low part where the slider fits, and in the position where the valve element closes the valve hole, the convex part is lifted from the concave low part via the inclined surface. The structure which becomes a shape high part is employable.

With this type of sliding three-way valve, as the valve body rotates, each slider slides on the valve separation or valve pressing cam surface, and when the valve is closed, one slider is used for valve pressing. The cam body reaches the cam face high part and presses the valve element toward the valve hole, and the other slider reaches the valve separation cam face low part and allows movement toward the valve hole of the valve element. The valve is pressed against the valve hole valve seat via the valve body valve seat to close the valve.
On the other hand, when the valve is opened, the other slider reaches the valve separation cam surface high part and separates the valve element from the valve hole valve seat, and one slider reaches the valve pressing cam surface low part and the valve element Allow movement away from the valve seat.

  Further, as another configuration, in the above sliding type three-way valve, similarly, the valve body is integrated with the valve shaft and is movable in the axial direction, and the valve body is moved toward the plane of the partition wall in the casing. A spring to be urged is provided, and a valve separation cam surface having a concavo-convex height portion around the valve shaft is formed around one of the opposing surfaces of the valve body and the partition wall, Protruding sliders that slide on the cam surface are provided, and the cam surface for valve separation is a concave low part where the slider fits at the position where the valve element closes the valve hole, and the valve element is the valve hole. In a position where the slider is opened, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the slider is a convex high portion that is lifted from the concave low portion via the inclined surface.

The slide type three-way valve with this structure is always urged toward the valve hole by a spring, and when the valve is closed, the slider reaches the lower part of the cam surface for valve separation and reaches the valve hole of the valve body. In order to allow the heading to move, the valve body is pressed against the valve hole by the spring via the valve body valve seat and the valve hole valve seat to close the valve body.
On the other hand, at the time of opening the valve, the slider reaches the cam separation height portion of the valve separation, and opens the valve element away from the valve hole against the spring.

  In each of the above configurations, the valve body is an integral part of the valve shaft, and the valve body is moved using the valve shaft as a guide shaft, so that the valve body reliably contacts and separates from the valve hole without shaking. For this reason, the on-off valve action is reliably performed. This “the valve body is integral with the valve stem” is not only when the valve body and valve stem are an integral molded product, but also when they are made of separate members and integrated with screws or welding. In addition, the valve body is movable in the axial direction with respect to the valve shaft by a spline bearing structure, or a structure including a prism and a square hole into which the prism is slidably fitted (engagement in FIG. 4 of Patent Document 4) A configuration in which the valve body is movable in the axial direction by the portion 25 and the fitting hole 24 is also included.

  Further, if the valve body is positioned at the inflow portion, the valve body is pressed against the valve hole by the inflow pressure when the valve is closed, so that the valve closing action is ensured. On the other hand, when the valve is opened, the valve body is forcibly separated from the valve hole by the valve separation cam, so that the valve opening operation is also performed reliably.

  In each of the above configurations, a ridge seal material made of rubber or the like can be provided on one or both of the valve body valve seat and the valve hole valve seat. At this time, the width of the longitudinal section of the sealing material is gradually narrowed toward the valve hole or the valve body, and the valve hole valve seat or the valve body valve seat not provided with the sealing material is also a protrusion. If the width of the longitudinal section is also gradually narrowed toward the valve body or the valve hole, the slider of the valve separation cam extends from the concave lower cam surface to the inclined cam surface, and the sealing material When the valve leaves the valve hole valve seat or the valve body valve seat, the position where the valve hole valve seat or the valve body valve seat faces the seal material shifts from the projecting apex of the seal material to the inclined surface. The pressure contact with the seat or the valve body valve seat is quickly released, and wear damage of the sealing material is further reduced (see FIG. 7).

  The present invention is configured as described above, and the valve mechanism is separated from the valve hole when the valve mechanism is shifted from the valve opening to the valve opening by the action of the cam mechanism accompanying the rotation of the valve element. Wear damage can be prevented.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of a slide type three-way valve according to the present invention. This slide type three-way valve V rotates a valve body 21 around a valve shaft center with a valve shaft 22 in a casing 10. It is provided freely.
The casing 10 includes an inflow portion side casing body 11a and an outflow portion side casing body 11b, and the casing 10 is configured by fitting the latter casing body 11b into the former casing body 11a via an O-ring 13a. Yes. The inlet 14 is provided in the lower part of the former casing body 11a, and the outlets 15a and 15b (general symbol: 15) are provided on both sides of the latter casing body 11b, respectively. Is separated by a partition wall 16 of the casing body 11b, and the partition wall 16 partitions the inside of the casing 10 into an inflow portion having an inflow port 14 and an outflow portion having both outflow ports 15.

A cylindrical bearing portion 17 of the valve shaft 22 is provided in the center of the partition wall 16, and one outflow port 15 a and the other outflow port 15 b are partitioned by the bearing portion 17 in a watertight manner. Valve holes 18a and 18b (general symbol: 18) are formed in the partition walls 16 on both sides of the bearing portion 17, respectively, and the fluid a such as water or warm water from the inlet 14 passes through one valve hole 18a. To the other outlet 15a, and only through the other valve hole 18b to the other outlet 15b. The outlets 15a and 15b are a gas water heater, an electric water heater, an oil water heater, a water heater attached to a cogeneration system, a hot water supply system having a solar water heater, etc., and a hybrid hot water supply system combining these water heaters. It is connected to piping such as.
On the entire circumference of both valve holes 18a and 18b, a ridge valve hole valve seat 19a, 19b (general symbol: 19) projecting toward the inflow portion is provided, and the valve seat is not only a ridge but also a surface. In some cases, the same applies hereinafter) (see FIG. 7). The valve seat 19 has an R-shaped cross section at the top, and can be provided with a sealing material such as rubber.

3 and 4, the valve body 21 includes a shaft portion 21 a integrally formed with a valve shaft 22 and a fan-shaped pressing portion 21 b around the shaft portion 21. The pressing portion 21 b is a plan view of the valve hole 18. It is a similar shape and its periphery is enlarged only at the part that contacts the valve seat 19. In this portion, there is provided a projecting seal member 23 made of an elastic material such as rubber and forming a valve body valve seat 21c (see FIG. 7B). The seal member 23 has a longitudinal section in the valve hole 18. It becomes a convex semicircular shape (see FIG. 7), and the valve hole 18 is closed by being pressed against the valve seat 19 of the valve hole 18. This sealing material 23 can be omitted when a sealing material is provided on the valve seat 19 (see FIG. 9A).
Protruding sliders 32 and 42 that slide on cam surfaces described later are provided on the front and back surfaces of the pressing portion 21b of the valve body 21 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

The valve shaft 22 is inserted into the bearing portion 17 via an O-ring 13b and reaches a stepping motor M attached to the casing 10, and the valve shaft 22 is rotated forward and backward by the motor M. For this reason, the valve body 21 also rotates around the axial center of the valve shaft 22 in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
The upper part 22a of the valve shaft 22 is splined and connected to the rotating part of the motor M, and the valve shaft 22, that is, the valve element 21 is movable in the axial direction of the valve shaft 22 by the spline part 22a. And is reliably rotated by the motor M.

  A valve separation cam 30 is provided between the opposing surfaces of the valve body 21 and the partition wall 16, and a valve pressing cam 40 is provided between the opposing surfaces of the valve body 21 and the inflow portion side casing body 11a. .

  The valve separation cam 30 includes a cam surface 31 that is an upper surface of a ridge around the bearing portion 17 and the slider 32 that slides on the cam surface 31. The cam surface 31 has a high portion (convex high portion) 31 a and a low portion (concave low portion) 31 b and an inclined surface (inclined surface portion) 31 c therebetween around the valve shaft 22 with respect to the axial direction of the valve shaft 22. Have in order along. The cam 30 allows the slider 32 to fit into the lower portion 31b at the position where the valve body 21 closes the valve hole 18 so that the valve body 21 is pressed against the valve seat 18, while the valve body 21 is in the valve hole. In the position where 18 is opened, the slider 32 reaches from the lower portion 31b to the higher portion 31a via the inclined surface 31c, and acts to separate the valve body 21 from the valve seat 18.

  The valve pressing cam 40 is composed of a cam surface 41 on the end face of the protruding wall facing the rotating surface of the valve body 21 of the inflow portion side casing body 11a and the slider 42 sliding on the cam surface 41. The cam surface 41 has a high portion (convex high portion) 41 a and a low portion (concave low portion) 41 b and an inclined surface (inclined surface portion) 41 c therebetween around the valve shaft 22 with respect to the axial direction of the valve shaft 22. Have in order along. In the cam 40, the slider 42 is in the high position portion 41 a at the position where the valve body 21 closes the valve hole 18, and the valve body 21 is pressed against the valve seat 18. In the position where 18 is opened, the slider 42 reaches the lower part 41b from the high part 41a via the inclined surface 41c, and the valve body 21 is allowed to move away from the valve seat 18. That is, the cam pressing surfaces of the valve pressing cams 40 are opposite to the cam surfaces 31 a and 31 b of the valve separation cam 30.

The circumferential length L of the lower portion 31b of the valve separation cam 30 (see (a) of FIG. 3 and FIG. 6A) is such that the valve element 21 is located when the slider 32 is positioned at the lower portion 31b. When the valve hole 18 is securely closed by being pressed against the valve seat 19 via the sealing material 23 and rotated from the closed state, the pressure contact reaches the inclined surface 31c as soon as possible and the pressure contact is released to damage the sealing material 23 due to sliding friction. Since it is preferable to prevent as much as possible, it is preferably as short as possible, but it is appropriately set by experimentation in consideration of the point that the valve is reliably closed. The same applies to the higher portion 41a of the valve pressing cam 40.
Further, the height or height (depth) of the height portions 31 a, 31 b, 41 a, 41 b of the cam surfaces 31, 41 of both the cams 30, 40 is also determined by the sealing material 23 of the valve body 21 by the valve seat of each valve hole 18. It is set appropriately by experiment or the like so as to ensure pressure contact with 19 and fluid leakage does not occur.

The slide three-way valve V has the above-described configuration, and is configured as shown in FIG. 1 by assembling the members and fastening the members with bolts T from the respective member states in FIG.
1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5, 6A to 6C, and FIG. 5A and 6A, one valve hole 18a is opened (opened), the other valve hole 18b is closed (closed), and the fluid a from the inlet 14 It flows out from one outlet 15a through the valve hole 18a.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 6A, in the valve separation cam 30, the slider 32 is positioned in the lower portion 31 b of the cam surface 31, and in the valve pressing cam 40, the higher portion 41 a of the cam surface 41. The slider 42 is positioned, and the valve separating cam 30 allows the valve element 21 to move in the direction of the valve hole 18b, and the valve pressing cam 40 pushes the valve element 21 in the direction of the valve hole 18b. . For this reason, the sealing material 23 of the valve body 21 is pressed against the valve seat 19b of the valve hole 18b, and the valve hole 18b is securely closed (see FIG. 7A).

  When the valve shaft 22 is rotated by the motor M from this state, the slider 42 slides on the inclined surface 41c from the high-order portion 41a of the cam surface 41 in the valve pressing cam 40 as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6B. The valve pressing cam 40 allows the valve body 21 to move in the direction away from the valve hole 18b. At the same time, in the valve separation cam 30, the slider 32 slides on the inclined surface 31c from the lower portion 31b of the cam surface 31 and is positioned at the higher portion 31a, and the valve body 21 is placed in the valve seat 19b of the valve hole 18b. The pressure contact force on the sealing material 23 is released. In this state, there is no contact of the sealing material 23 with the valve seat 19 and the partition wall 16 due to the rotation of the valve body 21, and sliding wear due to the contact does not occur. That is, the sealing material 23 is not worn and damaged.

  Further, when the valve shaft 22 is rotated by the motor M, the slider 32 slides on the inclined surface 31c from the high position portion 31a of the cam surface 31 in the valve separation cam 30 as shown in FIGS. 6B to 6C. Located in the lower portion 31b, movement of one valve hole 18a of the valve body 21 to the valve seat 19a is allowed. At the same time, in the valve pressing cam 40, the slider 42 slides on the inclined surface 41c from the lower portion 41b of the cam surface 41 and is positioned in the higher portion 41a, and the valve element 21 is placed in the valve of one valve hole 18a. Push toward seat 19a. For this reason, the sealing material 23 of the valve body 21 is pressed against the valve seat 19a of the valve hole 18a, and the valve hole 18a is securely closed, and the fluid a from the inlet 14 flows through the valve hole 18b to the other flow. It flows out from the outlet 15b.

  By the above operation, the flow of the fluid a from the inlet 14 to the outlet 15 is switched from one outlet 15a to the other outlet 15b. If the motor M reverses from this state, the seal member 23 of the valve body 21 is not separated from the valve seat 19a of the one valve hole 18a by the reverse action of the above-described action, and the other valve hole 18b is not damaged. The seal member 23 of the valve body 21 is pressed against the valve seat 19b, and the other valve hole 18b is closed. By repeating the above operation, the flow of the fluid a from the inlet 14 to each outlet 15a or 15b is selectively switched.

In the above open / close valve action, the valve body 21 is integral with the valve shaft 22, so that the movement of the valve body 21 is performed using the valve shaft 22 as a guide shaft, so that the valve body 21 does not swing and the valve hole valve seat is moved. 19 For this reason, the on-off valve action is reliably performed.
Further, since the valve body 21 is positioned at the inflow portion, the valve body 21 is pressed against the valve hole valve seat 19 by the inflow pressure when the valve is closed, so that the valve closing operation is ensured. On the other hand, since the valve element 21 is forcibly separated from the valve hole valve seat 19 by the valve separation cam 30 when the valve is opened, the valve opening action is also performed reliably.

  Furthermore, the sealing material 23 is provided in the valve body 21 and has a longitudinal section whose shape is a convex semicircular shape toward the valve hole valve seat 19 and whose width gradually decreases toward the valve hole 18. Since the valve hole valve seat 19 is also a ridge and the width of the longitudinal section thereof is gradually narrowed toward the valve body 21 (triangular shape), the slider 32 of the valve separation cam 30 is a concave lower portion. When the sealing material 23 moves away from the valve hole valve seat 19 from the cam surface 31b to the inclined cam surface 31c (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 7A), as shown in FIG. At the position where the hole valve seat 19 faces the seal material 23, in particular at the position intersecting the rotation direction, the convex valve 23a of the seal material 23 shifts to the arcuate slope 23b. The pressure contact with the seal member 23 is quickly released, and the wear damage of the sealing material 23 is further increased. Is Gensa.

In the above embodiment, the valve body 21 is brought into contact with and separated from each valve seat 19 by the valve separation cam 30 and the valve pressing cam 40. However, the valve pressing cam 40 causes the valve body 21 to be connected to the valve hole valve seat. A spring that biases toward 19 can be substituted. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a coil spring 50 is provided in the inflow portion of one casing body 11a.
In the three-way valve V of this embodiment, the valve element 21 is always urged toward the valve seat 19 by the spring 50, and when each valve hole 18 is closed, the slider 32 is at a lower position of the valve separation cam. In order to allow the movement toward the valve hole 18 of the valve body 21 to reach the portion 31 b, the valve body 21 is pressed against the valve seat 19 through the sealing material 23 and is closed.
On the other hand, when the valve is opened, the slider 32 reaches from the low position portion 31b of the valve separation cam 30 to the high position portion 31a via the inclined surface 31c, and opens the valve element 21 away from the valve hole 18 against the spring 50. To do. For this reason, there is no contact of the sealing material 23 with the valve seat 19 and the partition wall 16 due to the rotation of the valve body 21, and sliding wear due to the contact does not occur. That is, the sealing material 23 is not worn and damaged.

In each of the embodiments described above, the flow path can be switched by rotating the motor M (valve shaft 22) in one direction (without forward and reverse rotation). At this time, if the valve holes 18a and 18b are in a symmetrical position with respect to the valve shaft 22, the rotation angle of the motor M may be constant (180 degrees).
Moreover, in each said embodiment, although the sliders 32 and 42 were provided in the valve body 21 side, the sliders 32 and 42 were provided in the casings 11a and 11b side, and the cams 30 and 40 were provided in the valve body 21 side. It can also be provided. In this case, the fan-shaped pressing portion 21b of the valve body 21 is formed in a disk shape that can form the cams 30 and 40 around the entire circumference, and also has through holes corresponding to the valve holes 18a and 18b to be opened.
Furthermore, the valve body 21 can be provided on the outflow portion side. In this case, the valve separation cam 30 and the valve pressing cam 40 are provided between the upper surface of the partition wall 16 in the outflow portion and the inner surface of the casing body 11b.

  The semicircular shape of the vertical cross section of the sealing material 23 achieves the above-described effect, for example, not only a semicircular shape obtained by cutting a circle by its diameter, but also all shapes in which the vertical surface is arcuate, for example, a crescent shape of the vertical cross section, etc. Further, the sealing material 23 may be any material as long as the width of the longitudinal section thereof is gradually narrowed toward the valve hole 18 or the valve body 21 (for example, a triangular shape). . The vertical cross-sectional shapes of the valve body valve seat and the valve hole valve seat are the same.

  Moreover, in each said embodiment, even if the sealing material 23 is not the shape which becomes narrow gradually toward the valve body 21, it can also be made into the sheet | seat shape of a flat surface. The valve hole valve seat 19 can also have a shape that does not gradually narrow toward the valve body 21, for example, a square cross section (see FIG. 9A). Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, the sealing member 23 is not provided, and the flat valve element on the surface of the valve hole valve seat 19 having the above-described triangular protrusion in the cross section and the valve hole valve seat 19 with which the valve hole valve seat 19 abuts. The valve seat 21c can be used, or, as shown in FIG. 5C, the valve hole valve seat 19 having a quadrangular cross section and a flat valve body valve seat 21c can be used. In these cases, the flat valve hole valve seat 19 or the valve body valve seat 21c is preferably provided with a sealing material 23 (including not only a semicircular cross section in FIG. 7 but also a sheet shape).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9D and 9E, the valve hole seat 19 can be configured by a plane of the partition wall 16 without being a protrusion. In this case, the valve body valve seat 21c of the valve body 21 may be flat (FIG. (D)), or may have a quadrangular cross section or a triangular cross section (FIG. (E)). it can. In these cases, the flat valve hole valve seat 19 or the valve body valve seat 21c is preferably provided with a sealing material 23 (including not only a semicircular cross section in FIG. 7 but also a sheet shape).

Incidentally, also in the embodiment described in FIG. 1 and the like, the valve closing action can be ensured by providing the spring 50 shown in FIG. In the embodiment of FIG. 8, if the valve element 21 has a spline bearing structure with respect to the valve shaft 22, or if it has a structure consisting of a prism and a square hole into which the prism is slidably fitted, Since the moving force of the valve body 21 by 50 may be small, it is preferable.
As described above, the embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
