Fluid transfer assembly and methods of fluid transfer |
摘要 |
A fluid dispensing assembly, including a valve, a housing, a user interface, and a fitting to couple to a fluid source. The valve may include a first sensor detecting proper placement of the fluid container based on a magnetic material positioned at the bottom of the fluid container, a plunger having a plunger shaft coupled thereto, the plunger selectively placing the valve in fluid communication with the fluid container, and a solenoid coupled to the plunger shaft and moving the plunger shaft to transition the plunger between an open position and a closed position. The user interface may be coupled to the valve to enable selection of at least a fluid container size and a dispensing mode. |

1. A valve to dispense fluid, comprising:
a nozzle including a first magnetic mating plate and one or more apertures, the nozzle sealed to a valve case via a first seal; a housing body coupled to the valve case and including a first sensor to detect proper placement of a fluid container on the nozzle and a second sensor to detect rotation of a turbine, wherein the valve case is sealed to the housing body via a second seal; an actuator assembly coupled to the housing body and including a solenoid, a solenoid spring, and a solenoid plunger; a valve block coupled to the housing body and including an opening to accommodate a fitting to receive fluid from a fluid source, wherein the valve block is sealed to the housing body via a third seal; and a plunger coupled to a plunger shaft, wherein movement of the plunger shaft transitions the valve between an open position and a closed position, and wherein movement of the plunger shaft is indirectly related to movement of the solenoid plunger. |
