On July 25, 2023, AFA Flow Control Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "AFA") was granted two national invention patents. This is another major breakthrough after the "A Wear-resistant C-type Ball Valve" was granted a national invention patent in June, 2023. The two invention patents are named "A Ball Valve Production Automatic Painting Equipment" and "A C-type Ball Valve with Adjustment Function". So far, AFA has obtained 4 national invention patents.
“A ball valve production automatic painting equipment" is an invention about ball valve production process equipment, which fundamentally improves the efficiency and external quality of ball valve production. The equipment adopts a new design concept, combined with the most advanced artificial intelligence and robotics technology, to realize the automatic operation of ball valve painting. It not only reduces the cost and error rate of manual operation, but also greatly improves the uniformity, aesthetics and precision of painting.
The anti-corrosion of metal valves is to apply an anti-corrosion layer (such as paint), pigment and lubricating material on the surface of the valve to prevent the valve from being contaminated and corroded during manufacturing, storage, transportation or the entire use process. However, when spraying paint on the ball valve, the paint should not be neither applied to the inside of the ball valve, nor the side where the valve body flange is connected to the pipeline flange. Otherwise it will affect the matching effect between the valve core and the valve seat, as well as the matching effect between the pipeline and the ball valve. The successful invention of "Automatic Spraying Equipment for Ball Valve Production" has completely solved the above problems.
"A C-type ball valve with adjustment function" is an invention about ball valve design, involving the technical field of C-type ball valves, which improves the functionality of C-type wear-resistant ball valves. After long-term use, the surface of the existing C-type ball valve will be covered with scale to increase friction, making the C-type ball valve more laborious to adjust. For this reason, AFA has successfully developed a C-type ball valve with adjustment function and applied for patent protection. This innovation has far-reaching impact in the field of industrial flow control, making the operation of ball valves more stable and reliable in complex working conditions.
In recent years, AFA has continued to increase its R&D investment, take the road of strengthening the company through science and technology, and insist on R&D and innovation to continuously improve its product quality and service level. The success of these inventions is the result of the company's continuous efforts and investment in R&D, and it is also a proof of the company's pursuit of innovation and breakthroughs. It not only improves its technical strength, but also enhances its competitiveness in the industrial valve market, which has a profound impact on its industry.
