[0054] To open and close the S1 gate valve, turn the handwheel, which drives the main valve stem to rotate, and the main valve stem drives the main gate plate to move up and down. At the same time, under the action of the transmission gear set, the auxiliary valve stem rotates synchronously with the rotation of the main valve stem, thereby driving the auxiliary gate plate to move up and down. The main gate plate and the auxiliary gate plate descend to close the gate valve, and the main gate plate and the auxiliary gate plate rise to open the gate valve;

[0055] S2 pre-filtration: when the gate valve is opened, the medium enters the main valve body through the pre-valve body. During the process of the medium passing through the pre-valve body, the filter plate filters the impurities contained in the medium;

[0056] S3 filter plate blockage condition display: during the use of the filter plate, when the filter plate is gradually blocked by the filtered impurities, the efficiency of the medium passing through the filter plate is reduced, the pressure of the medium on the filter plate increases, and the filter plate is pushed under the action of pressure, driving the main guide limit rod to overcome the elastic force of the preload spring and move into the main movable groove.

[0057] S4 filter plate cleaning: when the staff observes that the filter plate is clogged, the control driving mechanism starts, and the driving mechanism drives the cleaning brush to move up and down to clean the surface of the filter plate. The cleaned impurities fall down into the collection box under the action of gravity. When the pipeline stops working, the collection box can be opened to discharge the impurities.

[0058] S5 buffering: when a sudden increase in pressure such as water hammer effect occurs during medium transportation, the impact force of the medium acts on the filter plate, and the filter plate moves rapidly under the action of the impact force, driving the main guide limit rod to move rapidly into the main movable groove. At this time, the intermediate gear rotates rapidly at the same time, causing the rotating block connected to it through the rotating shaft to rotate rapidly. The friction block overcomes the elastic force of the tensioning spring and is thrown out of the radial groove and contacts the friction layer. The friction block rubs against the friction layer and converts the impact force into heat energy consumption.

[0059] In the present technical solution, the gate valve is used by the above method, which is simple and convenient to operate, and the gate valve has high working stability and long service life. At the same time, it can effectively reduce the impact of impurities in the medium on the main gate plate and the auxiliary gate plate. At the same time, the user can intuitively observe the blockage of the filter plate, and the filter plate is easy to clean and the cleaning effect is good.

[0060] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0061] 1. The main gate plate and the auxiliary gate plate cooperate with each other to effectively improve the sealing effect of the gate valve. At the same time, under the protection of the auxiliary gate plates on both sides, the main gate plate can effectively reduce the impact of the medium, thereby increasing the service life of the main gate plate and thus the service life of the gate valve;

[0062] 2. The setting of the front valve body and the filter mechanism can effectively reduce the impact of impurities in the medium on the main gate and the auxiliary gate valve, thereby improving the working stability of the gate valve;

[0063] 3. Through the setting of the scale rod, the linkage between the scale rod and the filter plate can intuitively reflect the blockage of the filter plate, making it convenient for users to clean the filter plate in time;

[0064] 4. Through the cooperation between the friction block and the friction layer, the filter plate can provide filtering effect while buffering the impact of the medium, effectively reducing the impact of the medium on the main gate plate and the auxiliary gate plate, and further improving the working stability and service life of the gate valve;

[0065] 5. Through the setting of the driving mechanism, the cleaning brush can reciprocate and clean the filter plate in one direction, preventing impurities from spreading back into the medium during the cleaning process of the filter plate by the cleaning brush, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the filter plate.

[0104] Embodiment 6:

[0105] This embodiment provides a method for using a gate valve, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features, including the following steps:

[0106] To open and close the S1 gate valve, turn the hand wheel 5, which drives the main valve stem 4 to rotate, and the main valve stem 4 drives the main gate plate 6 to move up and down. At the same time, under the action of the transmission gear set, the auxiliary valve stem 8 rotates synchronously with the rotation of the main valve stem 4, thereby driving the auxiliary gate plate 10 to move up and down. The main gate plate 6 and the auxiliary gate plate 10 descend to close the gate valve, and the main gate plate 6 and the auxiliary gate plate 10 rise to open the gate valve;

[0107] S2 pre-filtration, when the gate valve is opened, the medium enters the main valve body 1 through the pre-valve body 14. During the process of the medium passing through the pre-valve body 14, the filter plate 17 filters the impurities contained in the medium;

[0108] S3 shows the clogging condition of the filter plate 17. During the use of the filter plate 17, when the filter plate 17 is gradually clogged by the impurities filtered out, the efficiency of the medium passing through the filter plate 17 is reduced, and the pressure of the medium on the filter plate 17 is increased. The filter plate 17 is pushed under the action of the pressure, driving the main guide limit rod 22 to overcome the elastic force of the preload spring 19 and move into the main movable groove 18. The main guide limit rod 22 drives the scale rod 25 to move through the intermediate gear during the movement. The scale rod 25 drives the position of the indicator scale on it to change during the movement. The change of the indicator scale position can be viewed through the sealed window 28;

When the staff observes that the filter plate 17 is clogged, the control driving mechanism is started, and the driving mechanism drives the cleaning brush 36 to move up and down to clean the surface of the filter plate 17. The cleaned impurities fall downward into the collection box 35 under the action of gravity. When the pipeline stops working, the collection box 35 is opened to discharge the impurities.

[0110] S5 buffering, when a sudden increase in pressure such as water hammer effect occurs during medium transportation, the impact force of the medium acts on the filter plate 17, and the filter plate 17 moves rapidly under the action of the impact force, driving the main guide limit rod 22 to move rapidly into the main movable groove 18. At this time, the intermediate gear rotates rapidly at the same time, so that the rotating block 31 connected to it through the rotating shaft rotates rapidly, and the friction block 33 overcomes the elastic force of the tensioning spring 34 and is thrown out of the radial groove 32 and contacts the friction layer 30. The friction block 33 rubs against the friction layer 30 to convert the impact force into heat energy consumption.
