Valve device with float and support mechanism
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11953110B2) discloses a valve device designed with a casing that includes a valve chamber, a valve seat with a valve hole, a float that moves based on the drain level in the chamber to open and close the valve hole, and a support structure that holds the float in place on the valve seat. The support structure consists of a base with a frame-shaped through bore in the valve chamber and two float seats where the float rests when closing the valve hole.
The valve device's innovative design features a divided casing structure with a first and second part, where the valve chamber is defined by these parts, and the valve seat and base are located in the second part in a cantilever manner. Additionally, the first part of the casing has an opening for the valve chamber, while the second part is attached to the first part to seal the opening. The overall casing includes a ceiling wall, a bottom wall, and a peripheral wall that together form the valve chamber, with the first part containing the ceiling wall, bottom wall, and a section of the peripheral wall, while the second part includes the remaining portion of the peripheral wall. The base is positioned opposite the bottom wall, creating a gap between them for functionality.
