Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a valve comprising a body part forming:
  • valve seat located in a flow path between the inlet and outlet
  • a low flow valve seat located in a low flow chamber between an upstream low flow passage extending between the high pressure chamber and the low flow chamber and a downstream low flow passage extending between the low flow chamber and the low pressure chamber, and
  • pilot valve seat located in a pilot chamber between a downstream pilot passage extending between the low pressure chamber and the pilot chamber and an upstream pilot passage extending between the pilot chamber and a control chamber.
  • the valve is operable as a servo valve e.g. for controlling a flow of petrol.
  • Valves with a main flow passage and a low flow passage are known.
  • petrol pumps at gas stations normally have a valve with a main flow passage which is servo operated and which provides a relatively large flow rate for fast pumping.
  • the main valve member is moved via a differential pressure between pressures on opposite sides of the main valve member, and to control the differential pressure, a pilot valve member which is small relative to the main valve member is opened and closed to lower or raise the pressure on one side of the main valve member. Due to its relatively small size, movement of the pilot valve member requires less force, and the pilot valve member may e.g. be operated via a solenoid.
  • the valve further comprises a low flow passage which can be opened and closed by a low flow valve member of a relatively small size.
  • the low flow passage bypasses petrol across the main valve member and can be operated e.g. by a solenoid.
  • valves incorporates not less than three valve members which are located in individual chambers interconnected by a plurality of passages, inlet openings, outlet openings, valve seats etc, manufacturing of such valves is relatively complicated and normally, the valves are typically made from at least two separate house components where each component comprises at least one valve member.
  • the house components form openings towards the other house components to enable exchange of petrol between the components.
  • JP10-132132 discloses a valve of this type.
  • the assembly of the separate house components also requires accurate positioning of each passage opening in the outer surface of each component, and normally, it a sealing member, e.g. an O-ring, is required to seal the abutting surfaces of adjacent house components.
  • a sealing member e.g. an O-ring
  • each passage section is worked from respective chambers into the body part.
  • all passage sections are workable by a tool which can form the passage section by movement in an axial direction from a chamber into the body part, e.g. by drilling or milling.
  • all openings which are made in the housing are functional openings which are made to provide access from a chamber into a passage, and no openings are made merely for getting access to an inner portion of the body part for making a passage therein.
  • all passages are preferably visible only on inner surfaces of the chambers and nowhere else. Accordingly, all passages are sealed towards the ambience when the chambers are closed, and no individual sealing of passages on the outer surface has to be made. This reduces the risk of leakage and enables reduced manufacturing costs.
  • the valve seat forms seat for a main valve member which moves between an open position wherein the high pressure and low pressure chambers are in fluid communication and a closed position wherein the main valve member contacts the valve seat and prevents fluid communication between the high pressure and low pressure chambers.
  • the control chamber is located above the valve seat, so that the valve member can separate the control chamber from the low and high pressure chambers, and so that the main valve member is movable by a pressure difference between pressure in the high pressure chamber, pressure in the low pressure chamber, and pressure in the control chamber,
  • Each passage section may have any cross sectional shape, e.g. a circular or quadrangular cross sectional shape, but preferably with one or more even sidewall(s) which extend(s) axially from a chamber and into the body part.
  • An even sidewall has either no variation in its cross sectional shape and size throughout the axial length of the passage section or it varies continuously without any steps, i.e. the wall extends either parallel to an axially extending centre axis of the passage section or the wall extends evenly inclined or declined with respect to the centre axis.
  • Such a passage section may preferably be machined by drilling or milling from a surface of one of the chambers and into the body part.
  • At least one of the passages comprises a passage section which is drilled from one chamber into the body part and which joins with another passage section which is drilled from another chamber into the body part.
  • each passage section comprises one open end into one of the chambers and an axially opposite open end into another one of the chambers or into another passage section.
  • the valve may further comprise a pressure equalisation structure which provides a flow between the high pressure chamber and the control chamber.
  • the equalisation structure forms a constantly open passage between the high pressure chamber and the control chamber.
  • the pressure equalisation structure may provide a larger flow resistance than the upstream and downstream pilot passages in combination.
  • the upstream pilot passage in combination with an equalisation passage extending from the high pressure chamber to the pilot chamber.
  • the equalisation passage may e.g. exert a larger flow resistance than the upstream pilot passage.
  • the pilot passage When the pilot passage is opened, the resulting pressure will become a pressure which is between the pressure of the low pressure chamber and the high pressure chamber, and when the pilot passage closes, the equalisation structure will at least essentially equalise the pressure in the control chamber with the pressure in the high pressure chamber.
  • the valve may further comprise a spring biasing the valve member towards the closed position.
  • the body part is in one piece.
  • the body part may be made by starting out with one single work piece and by reshaping it, e.g. by removing material in a cutting process or by reshaping it by a pressure which exceeds the yield point of the material, e.g. by hammering out, forging, casting or any similar process wherein a single work piece changes shape without being joined to other work pieces.
  • the one piece body part may preferably exclusively have one single main opening into the control chamber, a pilot opening into the pilot chamber, a low flow opening into the low flow chamber, an opening forming the inlet, and an opening forming the outlet, and no other openings.
  • it is an object of the invention not to provide any openings in the body part except from those which serves a functional purpose with respect to the operation of the valve.
  • the main opening may e.g. be formed in an upper surface of the body part, and the pilot opening and low flow opening may be formed in a lower surface on an opposite side of the body part.
  • the chambers extend along respective axes into the body part.
  • the chambers may e.g. be rotationally symmetric around the respective axes or they may at least comprise a symmetric basic shape from which shape unsymmetrical supplementary shapes may be formed.
  • the chambers could be made by drilling or milling a cylindrical cavity into the body part, and by further drilling or milling junction cavities into the cylindrical sidewall, e.g. for connecting the chamber with one of the passages.
  • the valve may further comprise a main valve member being movable between an open position wherein the high pressure and low pressure chambers are in fluid communication and a closed position wherein the valve member contacts the valve seat and prevents fluid communication between the high pressure and low pressure chambers, the valve member being movable by a pressure difference between pressure in the high pressure chamber, pressure in the low pressure chamber and pressure in a control chamber.
  • the valve may further comprise a low flow valve member being movable between an open position wherein the upstream and downstream low flow passages are in fluid communication and a closed position wherein the low flow valve member contacts the low flow valve seat and prevents fluid communication between the upstream and downstream low flow passages.
  • the valve may further comprise a pilot valve member being movable between an open position wherein the upstream and downstream pilot passages are in fluid communication and a closed position wherein the pilot valve member contacts the pilot valve seat and prevents fluid communication between the upstream and downstream pilot passages.
  • the main opening could be closed by a main closure which forms a guide for guiding the main valve member between the open position where the high pressure chamber is in direct fluid communication with the low pressure chamber across the valve seat.
  • the main closure could be releasably attached to the body part to enable service in the main chamber, e.g. in connection with replacement of the main valve member.
  • the closure could be attached by bolts, and a gasket could be arranged the body part and the closure to improve the tightness.
  • the closure could also be unreleasably attached by curling an edge portion of one of the body part and the closure into contact with an edge of the other one of the body part and the closure.
  • the main valve member moves in close contact with an inner surface of a tubular sleeve which is located in the main chamber.
  • the walls of the control chamber are formed by an upper surface of the main valve member, an inner surface of the sleeve and a lower surface of the closure.
  • the body part could be made of metal and the sleeve and main valve member could be made from a synthetic material, e.g. from a polymer.
  • the sleeve may, in a top end, abut the main closure, and between the main closure and the sleeve, a path could be established which allows a fluid flow out of the control chamber and thereby allow access from the control chamber to the upstream pilot passage and equalisation passage.
  • the path could be formed as a depression or notch in one or both of the inner surface of the closure and upper edge of the sleeve.
  • the arrangement of the sleeve and closure which in combination forms a flow path out of the control chamber may also be considered independently from any other features of the valve described until now.
  • the low flow opening and pilot opening may be closed by closing means forming a plunger tube in which a plunger moves to operate the corresponding valve members - the plunger is sometimes referred to as an armature.
  • the plunger tubes may have a threaded portion which is screwed into a corresponding threaded portion of the chambers, or the plunger tubes may have a flange which abuts a corresponding flange of the chambers and which are fixed thereto, e.g. by use of a screwed cap, a pipe union shaped nut or the like, or the tubes may be welded into sealing contact with the chamber wall.
  • the invention provides a method of making a valve of the above-described kind.
  • the method comprises the step of forming each passage by axial movement of a tool such as a drill from one of the chambers and into the body part without making any openings into the body part except from the openings in the chambers through which the passages are made.
