  • Publication number: 20250146590
    Abstract: An integrated air valve structure includes a main body and two air valves. The main body is formed with two air passages not communicated with each other, a plurality of through holes disposed corresponding to the two air passages, and two valve mounting seats. One valve mounting seat is disposed corresponding to one of the through holes, the other valve mounting seat is disposed corresponding to two of the through holes belonging to the two air passages. The two air valves are disposed on the two valve mounting seats, each air valves includes an air plug facing at least one of the through holes, a valve body assembled with one of the two valve mounting seats for the air plug to move therein, and a coil disposed on the valve body for generating magnetic force to change a position of the air plug.

  • Patent number: 11982369
    Abstract: An air valve structure arranged on a base comprises an air plug and a state-switching component. The air plug is arranged in an air chamber in an axial direction. The air plug includes a closing state to close the air hole, and an opening state to open the air hole. The state-switching component comprises a driving member that links the air plug, a shape-memory alloy (SMA) wire connected with the driving member, and at least one conductive member connected with the SMA wire. The driving member exerts an acting force to the air plug based on a condition of electricity provided by the conductive member for the SMA wire. The direction of the acting force is non-parallel with the axial direction and the air plug is moved and changed between the closing state and the opening state by the acting force.

  • Patent number: 11781669
    Abstract: An air valve comprises a casing, a valve body driving assembly and a valve body. The casing comprises a chamber, a vent hole, and at least one switching hole communicating with the chamber. The valve body driving assembly is disposed in the chamber, and comprises a pusher, a shape memory metal wire in a linkage relationship with the pusher, and two conductive members disposed in the casing and located at two ends of the shape memory metal wire respectively, the pusher travels a uniaxial displacement stroke due to a temporary change of the shape memory metal wire. The valve body is disposed in the chamber and faces the switching hole, when the pusher travels the uniaxial displacement stroke, the valve body is driven to rotate a central angle relative to the switching hole to change a ventilation state between the switching hole and the chamber.
