This valve has a sealing sheet that opens and closes based on air pressure. When air is pushed in, it lifts a weight that seals the opening, preventing sand from escaping. This design helps manage the flow of sand efficiently. 🚀 TL;DR

Abstract:

The invention discloses a sand storage device, which comprises a tank with a sand inlet and outlet. The inlet has a sand adding valve composed of a valve body connected to the inlet, with a first port linked to the inlet and a second port sealed by a deformation sealing sheet attached to a counterweight block. An air inlet is located below the counterweight, directing air toward it. The sand inlet connects to a sand adding tank. The counterweight block drives the sealing sheet downward to open the second port. When air is drawn in, compressed air from the intake nozzle pushes the counterweight and sealing sheet upward, sealing the second port.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT'S

The invention will be further described with the attached drawings and examples.

Referring to FIGS. 1-5, a sand storage device comprises a sand storage tank 10, wherein the sand storage tank 10 is provided with a sand inlet 110 and a sand outlet 120; the sand inlet 110 is provided with a sand adding valve 20, which comprises a valve body 200 connected with the sand inlet 110; the valve body 200 is provided with a first port 210 and a second port 220; The first port 210 is connected to the sand inlet 110. The valve body 200 is internally provided with a deformation sealing sheet 230 for sealing the second port 220, the deformation sealing sheet 230 is connected with a counterweight block 240. The sand adding valve 20 is provided with an air inlet nozzle 30, which is located below the counterweight block 240 with an air outlet end facing the counterweight block 240;

The second port 220 is connected with a sand adding tank 40;

The counterweight block 240 is configured to drive the deformation sealing sheet 230 to deform downward, so that the second port 220 is in an open state and connected with the inside of the valve body 200;

The air intake nozzle 30 is configured such that when the air intake nozzle 30 is in air intake state, the compressed air output from the air outlet end of the air intake nozzle 30 drives the counterweight block 240 and the deformation sealing sheet 230 to engage with the valve body 200 upwards to seal the second port 220.

Based on the above embodiment, the deformation sealing sheet works with the counterweight block. Under the natural state, the counterweight block and the deformation sealing sheet deform and move downwards under the action of gravity, so that the second port is in the open state. In this state, the sand in the sand adding tank can enter the sand storage tank through the second port, the valve body and the sand adding port.

In this embodiment, when sandblasting, external compressed air is input into the valve body from the gas nozzle, and under the action of the compressed air, the counterweight block and the deformation sealing sheet move upwards to engage with the valve body, so that the second port is sealed, that is, the sealing is completed.

According to the invention, the compressed air originally required for sand blasting is used to drive the deformation sealing sheet to close the second port, thereby solving the problems of high control cost and high valve procurement cost caused by pneumatic valves or electric inventions that require separate control in the prior art. The invention has the effects of simple control structure and low manufacturing cost.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 5, the valve body 200 is connected with a fixed piece 250, and the fixed piece 250 is provided with a deformation connector 260 to connect with the deformation sealing sheet 230. The fixed piece 250 is a fixed device. With the weight of the counterweight block 240 or the drive of compressed air, the deformation sealing sheet 230 and the deformation connector 260 can swing up and down relative to the fixed piece 250, so as to open or close the second port 220.

Further, the diameter of the counterweight block 240 is greater than that of the second port 220. This design can realize that when the compressed air drives the counterweight block 230 and the deformation sealing sheet 230 to move upwards, the counterweight block 240 can drive the deformation sealing sheet 230 to closely adhere to the inner wall of the valve body 200 to prevent the deformation sealing sheet 230 from deforming upwards into the second port 220.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the valve body 200 is provided with an annular fixing groove 204, and the fixed piece 250 is fixedly arranged in the annular fixing groove 204.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the valve body 200 includes a first connector 201, a second connector 202, and a third connector 203 which are sequentially connected from bottom to top. The first port 210 is arranged on the first connector 201, and the second port 220 is arranged on the third connector 203. When the upper surface of the deformation sealing sheet 230 is attached to the lower surface of the third connector 203, a seal is formed.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the annular fixing groove 204 is arranged between the second connector 202 and the third connector 203.

Referring to FIG. 3, the first connector 201, the second connector 202 and the third connector 203 are connected by a plurality of bolts 205.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 5, the fixed piece 250 is provided with a fixing hole 251, and the bolt 205 passes through the fixing hole 251.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 5, the upper surface of the deformation sealing sheet 230 is provided with a sealing convex ring 231. The arrangement of the sealing convex ring 231 can strengthen the joint sealing between the deformation sealing sheet 230 and the lower surface of the third connector 203, thus effectively improving the sealing performance.

Referring to FIG. 4, the sand adding tank 40 is located above the sand storage tank 10, and the sand adding tank 40 is connected to the second port 220 with a pipe fitting 50.

Referring to FIG. 4, the sand storage tank 10 is respectively provided with a pressure relief valve 60 and a safety valve 70.

The function of the safety valve 70 is to open and release the pressure when the internal pressure of the sand storage tank 10 is greater than the threshold value of the safety valve 70, thereby ensuring safety.

The function of the pressure relief valve 60 is that when sand is added, the pressure relief valve 60 is opened, so that the inside of the sand storage tank 10 is connected with the outside. In this state, the gas nozzle 30 is in a closed state, and the deformation sealing sheet works with the counterweight block. In a natural state, the counterweight block and the deformation sealing sheet are deformed and move downwards under the action of gravity, so that the second port is in an open state. In this state, the sand in the sand adding tank can enter the sand storage tank through the second port, the valve body and the sand adding port.

During sandblasting, the pressure relief valve 60 is closed and the gas nozzle 30 is opened. The compressed air input from the gas nozzle 30 drives the counterweight block 240 and the deformation sealing sheet 230 to adhere to the valve body 200 upwards to form a seal, and the input compressed air drives the sand to be output from the sand outlet 120 for use.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the sand storage tank 10 is provided with a chassis 100.
