Abstract:
1. A unidirectional ceramic control valve comprising: a valve shell, a shaft, a ring unit, an upper ceramic piece, a lower ceramic piece, a valve base and at least one anti-leak ring, wherein lower section of the valve shell has two corresponding hook holes, and two notches are formed below the hook holes; wherein the shaft is inserted into the valve shell, an upper end of the shaft protruding out the valve shell, and a receiving trough is formed at an inner portion of the lower section of the shaft, the receiving trough providing a space for the ring unit and the upper ceramic piece disposed in order, and lower periphery of the shaft engages with the upper ceramic piece, so that the upper ceramic piece is driven to rotate by the shaft; wherein the ring unit is a ring-shaped body with low friction coefficient, and when the ring unit is disposed between the shaft and the upper ceramic piece, it prevents the shaft from directly contacting the upper ceramic piece to generate wear; wherein the upper ceramic pieces has two symmetric water holes, and an expanding portion is formed at an upper portion of the water hole, so diameter of the upper portion of the water hole is larger than that of the lower portion of the water hole; wherein the lower ceramic piece is disposed in the valve base, and two symmetric circulating holes are formed on the lower ceramic piece, and a second expanding portion is formed at a lower portion of the circulating hole, so the diameter of the lower portion of the circulating hole is larger than that of the upper portion of the circulating hole; wherein one side of the bottom of the valve base has a water inlet end, the other side having a water outlet end, and a first protruding unit and a second protruding unit are correspondingly formed at the periphery of the valve base, the first protruding unit having a hook portion, the second protruding unit having a stopping block, and the hook portion engages with the hook hole of the valve shell, while the stopping block engages with the notch, so that the valve base is secured at the lower portion of the valve shell, and the lower ceramic piece is allowed to move upward to attach to the upper ceramic piece; and wherein the anti-leak ring is disposed between the valve base and the lower ceramic piece, so that the anti-leak ring is against the lower ceramic piece to form a water-stopping status.
