초록 ▼

An electromechanically controlled thermostatic mixing valve (10) comprises a movable mixing valve member (114) resiliently held between a temperature responsive coiled spring (132) and a bias spring (134). The temperature responsive spring is made of a material such as a shape memory alloy (SMA) having a modulus of elasticity that varies with temperature. The bias spring is supported by an electric drive (46) controlled by an electric control circuit (32) to adjust the preload on the bias spring. In contrast to the bias spring which is subjected to deformation from its free state to its fully compressed state, the SMA spring is held in such a manner that it is subjected to a limited strain throughout the stroke of the valve member. As a result, premature fatigue of the SMA spring is avoided. Transient fluctuation in water temperature is primarily compensated for by a mechanical feedback control performed by the SMA spring. Any persistent offset of temperature is compensated for by electrical feedback control carried out by the electrical control circuit that adjust the preload on the bias spring preload such that the actual water temperature is brought to the desired temperature.

An electromechanically controlled thermostatic mixing valve comprising: a housing having an inlet for hot water, an inlet for cold water, a mixing chamber in communication with said inlets, and an outlet discharging from said mixing chamber; movable valve means disposed in said housing for controlling the flow of hot and cold water flowing into said mixing chamber to control the temperature of a mixture of hot and cold water formed in said mixing chamber, said valve means being movable between a first position wherein the temperature of said mixture is minimized and a second position wherein the temperature of said mixture is maximized; a temperature-responsive first coiled spring disposed in said chamber for biasing said valve means toward said first position, said first spring being made of a material having a spring constant that increases in response to the increase in the temperature of said mixture thereby to exert on said valve means an increasing spring force as the temperature of said mixture is raised; said first spring being held in a slightly compressed state throughout the movement of said valve means between said first and second positions; a second coiled spring disposed in said housing for biasing said valve means toward said second position, said second spring having a predetermined spring constant substantially independent of the temperature of said mixture, said second spring having an end engaging said valve means; electrical drive means acting on the other end of said second spring for adjustably varying the preload on said second spring; temperature sensing means for sensing the actual temperature of said mixture; input means for selecting the desired temperature for said mixture; and, electrical control means responsive to said temperature sensing means and said input means for controlling said electrical drive means; said valve means being resiliently supported between said first and second springs, when said valve means is situated in an intermediate position between said first and second positions, to permit said valve means to move in response to any change in the spring force of said first spring due to variation in the temperature of said mixture until the spring forces of said first and second springs are counterbalanced; said control means being operable to control said electrical drive means, when said valve means is situated in said intermediate position, to adjustably vary the second spring such that the actual mixture temperature is brought to the selected desired temperature; said control means being operable to control said electrical drive means, when said valve means is to be positioned in said first position for delivery of mixture of the minimum temperature, to substantially relieve the preload on said second spring to permit said first spring to bias said valve means toward said first position without suffering the counteractive force of said second spring; said control means being operable to control said electrical drive means to increase the preload on said second spring in response to the increase in said desired temperature.
