Definitions

  • This invention relates to a ballcock valve regulator
  • Ballcocks are well known and comprise of a valve, arm and float (usually ball shaped) Their purpose is to automatically fill tanks/containers with water/liquid They are governed by the amount of water/liquid in the tank/container and are noisy, relatively slow in operation and take time to finally stop flowing When a small quantity of water/liquid is drawn off, the valve opens at a trickle and is very slow to close again
  • electrical valves need plumbing in and are relatively expensive Pressure vessels are bulky, need plumbing and maintenance Valve arrangements need plumbing in and are relatively expensive
  • a ballcock valve regulator which consists of a reservoir 1 to catch and collect water/liquid and contains through its body a syphon tube 2 strategically placed to allow the syphoning off of water/liquid from the reservoir 1 is, in use, mounted above the water/liquid line and works in conjunction with and is affixed to a conventional ballcock
  • the ballcock valve has a top discharge conforming to British Standard 212
  • the ballcock valve regulator as described, works as follows Water/liquid is drawn off the tank 5, eventually the float/arm 3 and 4 will fall, opening the valve 6 partially Water/liquid is discharged into the reservoir 1 FIG 2
  • the main body of the water/liquid fills the reservoir 1 to the brim and cascades over the top, a lesser quantity syphons down the syphon tube 2 FIG 4
  • the float 4 now less buoyant with its extra weight will rise as the tank 5 fills until the valve 6 partially closes FIG5 When this happens the discharge from the syphon tube 2 is greater than the discharge of the feed nozzle 7 FIG 5
  • the reservoir 1 empties and the weight of the water/liquid therein decreases
  • FIG 1 shows in perspective, a ballcock valve regulator attached (not shown) to a conventional ballcock float arm 3
  • the ballcock valve regulator shows the empty reservoir 1 after the initial fill
  • the float 4 is held low in the water liquid by the valve 6
  • the water/liquid level in tank 5 is at full level
  • FIG 2 a quantity of water/liquid has been drawn off the tank 5
  • the valve 6 just opening A trickle of water flowing from feed nozzle 7
  • FIG 3 shows valve 6 almost fully opened Water/liquid pouring into reservoir 1 from feed nozzle 7
  • the float 4 is lower in the water/liquid than in FIG 2
  • the water/liquid level in tank 5 is similar to FIG 2
  • FIG 4 shows valve 6 fully opened showing maximum flow from feed nozzle 7 into reservoir 1 and water/liquid cascading over brim of reservoir 1 into tank 5 and water/liquid flowing from syphon tube 2
  • the float 4 is lower in the water/liquid than in FIG 3
  • the ballcock valve regulator is at its maximum weight
  • the water level in tank 5 is rising, as compare to FIG 3
  • FIG 5 shows valve 6 almost closed the water/liquid flow from feed nozzle 7 reduced Water/liquid flowing from syphon tube 2
  • the float 4 is in a similar position to FIG 4
  • the ballcock valve regulator is discharging all the water/liquid from the reservoir 1 into the tank 5 and getting lighter in weight
  • the water/liquid in tank 5 is almost at full level
  • FIG 6 shows the valve 6 tightly closed water/liquid stopped flowing from feed nozzle 7
  • the contents of reservoir 1 draining down syphon tube 2 Float 4 slightly rising as compared to FIG 5 Water/liquid level in tank 5 at full level

Abstract

Au fur et à mesure que l'eau/le liquide s'évacue du réservoir (5) le flotteur/bras (3) descend, ouvrant partiellement le clapet (6). L'eau/le liquide est déchargé dans un petit réservoir (1) (figure 2). Lorsque ce petit réservoir (1) est rempli jusqu'à hauteur du tuyau du siphon (2), le poids de l'eau/du liquide fait descendre encore plus le flotteur/bras (3), ce qui a pour effet d'ouvrir complètement le clapet (6) (figure 3). L'eau/le liquide remplit le petit réservoir (1) jusqu'au bord puis tombe en cascade par dessus ce bord, une quantité moindre s'évacuant par siphonnement par le tuyau (2) (figure 4). Le flotteur (4), doté alors d'une moindre flottabilité, s'élève au fur et à mesure que le réservoir (5) se remplit, jusqu'à ce que le clapet (6) se ferme partiellement (figure 5), et lorsque ce phénomène se produit, l'évacuation à partir du tuyau (2) est supérieure à l'alimentation à partir de la buse (7) (figure 5). Au fur et à mesure que le petit réservoir (1) se vide, le flotteur (4) flotte mieux et s'élève, fermant le clapet (6) en quelques secondes (figure 6). Le réservoir (5) contient alors plus d'eau/de liquide qu'il n'en aurait contenu si l'on n'avait pas installé le petit réservoir (1), cet excès d'eau/de liquide pouvant être évacué avant que le clapet (6) ne s'ouvre à nouveau. On peut fixer le petit réservoir (1) sur un robinet à flotteur classique, au moyen de vis, de boulons, de colle ou d'élément moulé, ainsi que sur le bras (3).
