Patent number: 10920903Abstract: Disclosed is a water stop valve. A water inlet channel, a water outlet channel, and a water sealing surface are formed in a valve body. A valve stem has a middle portion movably disposed in the valve body and a lower portion mounted in a back-pressure hole of a water-plugging stopper. A back-pressure cavity is formed above the water-plugging stopper. A sealing end surface matching the back-pressure hole is formed on the valve stem. When in use, the valve stem drives the water plugging stopper to move downwards, the sealing end surface blocks the back-pressure hole, and the water plugging stopper blocks the water sealing surface, such that the water enters the back-pressure cavity, and the water pressure enables the water-plugging stopper to block the water sealing surface to stop the water. The water stop valve stops a water inlet valve from feeding in water in a timely manner.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: LAB (XIAMEN) SANITARY FITTINGS INC.Inventors: Yongmao Liu, Zipeng Zhang

Patent number: 10132067Abstract: A major water leak prevention apparatus for a water inlet valve, in which a water receptacle tray is mounted on a water inlet valve body and includes an overflow port. The water receptacle tray has a bottom in which an opening is formed. A counterweight float is mounted on the water inlet valve body and includes a water compartment and a buoyance compartment arranged at a lower end of the water inlet valve body. The bottom opening of the water receptacle tray is connected via a passageway pipe to the counterweight float.

Patent number: 10041240Abstract: A minor water leak prevention apparatus for a water inlet valve, in which a float is mounted on a regulation bar and received in a water container. The water container is mounted on a siphon tube. The siphon tube is formed with an air aperture. A counterweight buoyance switch is mounted on the water container. The counterweight buoyance switch has a counterweight water compartment having a lower end forming a water drain hole. The counterweight water compartment has an upper end to which a closure pressing plate is mounted. The closure pressing plate is opposite to the air aperture. The counterweight buoyance switch controls opening/closing of the air aperture. This arrangement allows water ingress through a water inlet valve to be stopped when minor water leakage occurs in a water tank.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: LAB (XIAMEN) SANITARY FITTINGS INCInventors: Yongmao Liu, Zipeng Zhang
