Air admittance valve preventing mephitis overflow
View Patent ↗An air admittance valve preventing mephitis overflow, having a main body with an air entry guide base defining an air entry guide; a pivot support; and a valve seat. A sealing valve group having a sealing valve body that defines a recess; a flexible member; a pivot housing; and a pivot. The valve seat is located about the air entry guide. The pivot is located in the pivot housing and the pivot support, and the pivot is located along, or adjacent to, the center of gravity of the sealing valve body. The flexible member is at least partially located in the recess and abuts the main body; and when the air admittance valve is closed, the sealing valve body abuts the valve seat.
1. An apparatus comprising an air admittance valve, the air admittance valve comprising:
a main body comprising an air entry guide base defining an air entry guide, a pivot support, and a valve seat;
a sealing valve group comprising a sealing valve body, that defines a recess; a pivot housing; and a pivot;
wherein the valve seat is located about the air entry guide; the pivot is located in the pivot housing and the pivot support, and the pivot passes through, or is adjacent to, a center of gravity of the sealing valve body; and when the air admittance valve is closed, the sealing valve body abuts a downstream side of the valve seat.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an external lid body; wherein the external lid body is coupled to the main body.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a connecting pipe body, and the connecting pipe body comprises a connecting head; wherein the connecting head is coupled to the main body.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the connecting head comprises a connecting head thread, and the main body comprises a main body thread; and the connecting head thread is engaged with the main body thread.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises a plurality of lugs, an external lid body defines a plurality of slide grooves, and the plurality of lugs are received within the plurality of slide grooves.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the main body defines a main body recess, and the valve seat is located in the main body recess.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the air admittance valve will open in response to a pressure, and the pressure is in a range of 0.008 pounds per square inch (psi) to 3 psi.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when the air admittance valve is opened, air will flow into an external lid body and through the air entry guide.
9. A vehicle comprising:
an air admittance valve comprising:
a main body comprising an air entry guide base defining an air entry guide, a pivot support, and a valve seat;
a sealing valve group comprising a sealing valve body, that defines a recess; a pivot housing; and a pivot;
wherein the valve seat is located about the air entry guide; the pivot is located in the pivot housing and the pivot support, and the pivot passes through, or is adjacent to, a center of gravity of the sealing valve body; and when the air admittance valve is closed, the sealing valve body abuts a downstream side of the valve seat.
10. The vehicle of claim 9 , further comprising an external lid body; wherein the external lid body is coupled to the main body.
11. The vehicle of claim 9 , further comprising a connecting pipe body, and the connecting pipe body comprises a connecting head; wherein the connecting head is coupled to the main body.
12. The vehicle of claim 11 , wherein the connecting head comprises a connecting head thread, and the main body comprises a main body thread; and the connecting head thread is engaged with the main body thread.
13. The vehicle of claim 9 , wherein the air admittance valve will open in response to a pressure, and the pressure is in a range of 0.008 PSI to 3 PSI.
14. An apparatus comprising an air admittance valve, the air admittance valve comprising:
a main body comprising an air entry guide base defining an air entry guide, a pivot support, and a valve seat;
a sealing valve group comprising a sealing valve body, that defines a recess; a pivot housing; and a pivot;
wherein the valve seat is located about the air entry guide; the pivot is located in the pivot housing and the pivot support; an axis of rotation of the sealing valve body passes through, or is adjacent to, a center of gravity of the sealing valve body; and when the air admittance valve is closed, the sealing valve body abuts a downstream side of the valve seat.
