[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a variable air volume butterfly valve, including a butterfly valve body 1, a flow chamber 2 and an adjustment chamber 3. The butterfly valve body 1 is of an overall cuboid structure. The front part of the butterfly valve body 1 is set as the flow chamber 2. A nozzle fixing pipe 4 is installed in the flow chamber 2. Nozzles 5 are symmetrically installed in the nozzle fixing pipe 4. Air nozzles 6 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the flow chamber 2. The air nozzles 6 are connected to the nozzles 5. The air nozzles 6 are connected by an air pipe 7 and an air nozzle tee 8. The rear part of the butterfly valve body 1 is provided with an adjustment chamber 3. A valve disc 9 is arranged at the lower middle part of the adjustment chamber 3. The area of the valve disc 9 is the same as the rectangular area of the inner diameter section of the butterfly valve body 1 at this place. Valve rods 10 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the adjustment chamber 3. The valve disc 9 is connected to the valve rods 10. The valve rods 10 are installed on the rotating device 12 of the actuator 11. The actuator 11 is fixed on the side wall of the adjustment chamber 3 through an actuator mounting bracket 13. A control box 14 is arranged on the side wall of the butterfly valve body 1. The air nozzle tee 8 is connected to the control box 14 through the air pipe 7. The actuator 11 is connected to the control box 14.
[0023] Furthermore, a number of first air holes 15 and a number of second air holes 16 are arranged in the nozzle 5. The first air holes 15 are perpendicular to the butterfly valve body 1, and the second air holes 16 are parallel to the butterfly valve body 1. According to different models of the valve, multiple nozzles 5 are used for flow measurement. Each nozzle 5 is provided with an air nozzle 6 to obtain pressure data. For the first air holes perpendicular to the valve body and the second air holes parallel to the valve body, when gas enters the first air holes and the second air holes, pressure is formed. The two air ports of the air nozzle receive the pressures of the first air holes and the second air holes respectively, and transmit the pressures to the control main board. After the control main board measures the pressure values, the pipeline flow velocity can be obtained through calculation.
[0024] Further, the air nozzle is installed on one side inside the nozzle.
[0025] Further, mounting flanges 17 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the butterfly valve body 1, facilitating the installation of the butterfly valve body.
[0026] Further, the cross-section of the valve disc 9 is rectangular, and the valve disc 9 is a split multi-leaf structure.
[0027] Further, the rotation angle of the rotating device 12 is 0 - 90 degrees.
[0028] Further, a control main board is arranged inside the control box 14, and the air pipe 7 and the actuator 11 are connected to the control main board.
[0029] Further, the control box 14 is of a square structure, and the control box lid 18 is inclinedly arranged on the control box 14. A buckle 19 is provided at the front opening of the control box lid 18, setting the originally rotationally opened control box to be opened by an inclined buckle. At the same time, the inclined buckle opening avoids the space required for the original rotation, facilitating the installation of the control box better.
[0030] Working principle: The present invention relates to a variable air volume butterfly valve. When in use, the mounting flanges 17 arranged on the front and rear sides of the butterfly valve body 1 can effectively facilitate the installation and disassembly of the butterfly valve body 1. After the butterfly valve body 1 is installed, gas passes through the nozzle 5 in the nozzle fixed pipe 4 of the flow chamber 2. The nozzles 5 are arranged in parallel, and a first air hole 15 and a second air hole 16 are provided in the nozzle 5. The first air hole 15 is perpendicular to the butterfly valve body 1, and the second air hole 16 is parallel to the butterfly valve body 1. Gas generates pressure when passing through the nozzle 5. The first air hole 15 and the second air hole 16 transfer the gas through the air nozzle 6 arranged on one side inside the nozzle 5, providing a stable pressure state. The air nozzle 6 transfers the gas to the control box 14 through the air pipe 7 and the air nozzle tee 8. The control main board measures and calculates the gas pressure to obtain the pipeline flow velocity. Multiple nozzles 5 can be connected in parallel according to the size of the valve, and each nozzle 5 is equipped with an air nozzle 6. The air nozzle 6 takes pressure in each nozzle 5 and finally converges into one air pipe 7 to be connected to the control main board, making the measured pressure more accurate, thereby obtaining high-precision flow data and providing accurate flow information. The control main board can control the actuator 11 to work. The actuator 11 controls the rotating device 12 to work. The rotating device 12 can drive the valve stem 10 to rotate by 0 - 90 degrees. The rotation of the valve stem 10 drives the valve disc 9 arranged in the adjustment chamber 2 to rotate, thereby adjusting the gas flow through the butterfly valve body 1, facilitating the adjustment. The provided control box lid 18 is inclinedly arranged, setting the originally rotationally opened control box to be opened by an inclined buckle. At the same time, the inclined buckle opening avoids the space required for the original rotation, facilitating the installation of the control box better.
[0031] It should be noted that the entire device is controlled through the control box and the control main board. Since the devices matched with the control box and the control main board are common devices and belong to the existing common technology, the electrical connection relationship and the specific circuit structure thereof will not be elaborated herein.
[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
