Precision One-Way Control for Pumps, Medical & Automation Equipment.The umbrella valve is a critical component used in fluid transport and one-way control systems, including micro pumps, solenoid valves, medical infusion devices, automotive systems, and industrial automation.It enables unidirectional flow and pressure stabilization through its own flexible opening–closing structure.
Its performance directly determines three core aspects:
1.Sealing Reliability:Prevents reverse leakage and maintains precise fluid delivery.
2.Stable Flow&Pressure Control:Proper hardness and elasticity ensure smooth opening and closing with minimal fluctuations.
3.Lower Equipment Maintenance Costs:High-quality umbrella valves resist deformation and wear, reducing replacement frequency and keeping systems running efficiently.

Common Problems with Umbrella Valves
Umbrella valves frequently encounter both assembly issues and functional performance issues, which can directly affect equipment efficiency and reliability.
|
![]() |
1.Automatic Assembly Problems
Column deformation:Misalignment during assembly results in poor fitting, functional instability, and increased rework costs.
Column breakage:Breakage interrupts assembly, raises scrap rates, and broken fragments may contaminate production lines.
Column too short to be gripped:Automatic equipment fails to pick up or fix the part, requiring manual intervention and slowing production.
Product adhesion:Valves stick together after molding, causing pick-and-place failures, sorting issues, and potential product damage.
?
2.Functional Issues During Use
Excessive or insufficient flow:Inaccurate fluid delivery in medical infusion or industrial dosing leads to performance deviation or process failure.
High operating noise:Abnormal friction or structural defects generate noise, indicating hidden reliability risks.
Material swelling:Medium penetration causes dimensional change, poor sealing, jamming, or leakage.
Deformation without rebound:Loss of elasticity prevents proper one-way flow control, leading to valve failure and equipment shutdown.

The cause of the problem?
From the three dimensions of product design, material properties, and production processes, the root cause of the problem can be precisely located
|
|
Problems typically originate from design, material, and process control:Automatic Assembly Issues:Deformation / breakage / insufficient column height→ Caused by incorrect molding parameters, design deviation, insufficient material strength, or mismatch with automation settings.Product adhesion→ Inappropriate surface texture or insufficient surface treatment.
Functional Issues:Flow deviation→ Hardness mismatch, insufficient material strength, or inconsistent molding/vulcanization parameters.High noise→ Excessive wall thickness, low hardness, or plastic-part dimensional variation causing friction.Swelling→ Non-compatible rubber formula that reacts with the working medium.No rebound→ Poor elastic recovery due to material property limitations or structural design flaws.
