A lithium battery electric pinch valve is a type of flow control device that utilizes a pinch mechanism to regulate the flow of fluids. Unlike traditional valves that rely on rotating or sliding components, pinch valves operate by compressing a flexible tube to control the flow. The “electric” aspect refers to the use of an electric actuator powered by a lithium battery, allowing for remote operation and precise control without the need for pneumatic or hydraulic systems.

    Mechanism of Operation

    The operation of a lithium battery electric pinch valve is relatively straightforward. The valve consists of a flexible elastomeric tube housed within a rigid body. An electric actuator, powered by a lithium battery, exerts force on the tube to pinch it closed or allow it to open. This design provides several benefits, including minimal contact with the fluid, reducing the risk of contamination and wear.
