Therefore, the directions and positions used are for explaining and understanding the present invention, but not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a compact online repairable ultra-low temperature butterfly valve comprises a valve body 1, an extended valve cover 2, a valve stem 3, a butterfly plate 4, and a valve seat assembly 5. The valve body 1 comprises an inflow pipe connection part 101, an outflow pipe connection part 102, an extended valve cover connection part 103, and a valve body middle cavity part 104. The inflow pipe connection part 101, the valve body middle cavity part 104, and the outflow pipe connection part 102 are sequentially connected, and the inflow pipe connection part 101 and the valve body middle cavity part 104 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the valve body middle cavity part 104. The extended valve cover connection part 103 is formed by the valve body middle cavity part 104 protruding upward, and its center line coincides with the central axis of the valve body middle cavity part 104. The upper end of the extended valve cover connection part 103 is provided with a mounting opening 105, and the extended valve cover 2 is arranged above the mounting opening 105 and is fastened to the upper end of the extended valve cover connection part 103 by flange connection;

[0037] The valve stem 3 passes through the extended valve cover 2 and extends into the inner cavity of the valve body middle cavity part 104 and is connected to the butterfly plate 4 through the first connecting bolt 6. The center line of the valve stem 3 coincides with the center axis of the valve body middle cavity part 104, and the butterfly plate 4 is eccentrically arranged relative to the center axis of the valve body middle cavity part 104.

[0038] The end of the inflow pipe connection part 101 close to the valve body cavity part 104 is raised to form a valve seat fixing convex ring 107, the valve seat assembly 5 is detachably connected and fixed to the valve seat fixing convex ring 107, the minimum distance from the end of the valve seat fixing convex ring 107 to the central axis of the valve body cavity part 104 is a, and the minimum distance from the valve seat assembly 5 to the central axis of the valve body cavity part 104 is b, a≤b; the minimum distance between the inner wall of the extended valve cover connection part 103 close to one side wall of the outflow pipe connection part 102 and the outflow pipe connection part 102 to the central axis of the valve body cavity part 104 is c; the maximum distance from the sealing side surface of the butterfly plate 4 and the valve seat assembly 5 to the central axis of the valve body cavity part 104 is d, and the maximum distance from the other side of the sealing side to the central axis of the valve body cavity part 104 is e, d<c and e<a;

[0039] The valve stem 3 can rotate to have a closed position where the sealing side of the butterfly plate 4 is aligned with the valve seat assembly 5 and the valve seat assembly 5 is sealed, an open position where the sealing side of the butterfly plate 4 is staggered with the valve seat assembly 5 to allow fluid to flow, and a disassembly position where the sealing side of the butterfly plate 4 is aligned with the outflow pipe connection part 102. When the valve stem 3 is in the disassembly position, the butterfly plate 4 can move along the center line of the valve stem 3 to leave or enter the inner cavity of the valve body middle cavity part 104. Through the above arrangement, when the valve stem 3 rotates to the disassembly position, the extended valve cover 2 can be opened, and the valve stem 3 and the butterfly plate 4 fixed on the valve stem 3 can be moved out from between the end of the valve seat fixing convex ring 107 and the inner wall of the extended valve cover connection part 103 close to the side wall of the outflow pipe connection part 102, and then the valve seat assembly 5 is removed and moved out from the installation opening 105.

[0040] The inner cavity of the valve body has a large bearing surface, small flow resistance, and a large fluid bearing surface; it has high pressure resistance. At the same time, this embodiment adopts a three-dimensional eccentric sealing structure. When closing the valve, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate moves along the three-dimensional eccentric displacement and only approaches the sealing surface of the valve body at the last moment. Under the action of eccentricity, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate and the sealing surface of the valve body are closer and closer, so the sealing surface of the butterfly plate and the sealing surface of the valve body are in very good and close contact, achieving a very good sealing effect and reliable sealing performance; when opening the valve, under the action of eccentricity, the butterfly plate only needs to turn a very small angle (2°~3°), and the sealing surface of the butterfly plate and the sealing surface of the valve body are completely separated, and there is no friction between the sealing surface of the butterfly plate and the sealing surface of the valve body, and the service life of the valve is long.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower side of the middle cavity portion 104 of the valve body is convex to form a bottom cover connecting portion 106, and the outer end of the bottom cover connecting portion 106 is detachably connected to the bottom cover 8, and the valve stem 3 is an integrated valve stem structure, the lower end of the valve stem 3 extends into the bottom cover connecting portion 106 and the end is detachably connected to a limited disassembly block 7, and the outer diameter of the limited disassembly block 7 is larger than the outer diameter of the end of the valve stem 3 connected thereto;

[0042] The inner cavity part of the bottom cover connecting part 106 is composed of, from top to bottom, a first part which is clearance-matched with the valve stem 3, a second part which is matched with the valve stem 3 through the valve stem bearing 19, and a third part which is matched with the limit disassembly block 7. The inner diameter of the second part is smaller than the outer diameter of the limit disassembly block 7 to limit the limit disassembly block 7.

[0043] Specifically, the limiting disassembly block 7 is fastened to the lower end of the valve stem 3 via a second connecting bolt 10 .

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the middle of the outer peripheral wall of the limit disassembly block 7 is provided with an opening limit slide groove 701, and the inner wall of the bottom cover connecting part 106 is raised to form a positioning pin shaft 108. When the valve stem 3 switches between the closed position and the open position, the positioning pin shaft 108 is limited to slide in the opening limit slide groove 701. When the valve stem 3 is respectively in the closed position and the open position to the full opening, the positioning pin shaft 108 abuts against the two ends of the opening limit slide groove 701. The outer peripheral wall of the limit disassembly block 7 is provided with an axial channel 702, and the axial channel 702 is set corresponding to the position of the valve stem 3 when it is in the open position to the full opening. When the valve stem 3 is in the open position to the full opening, the positioning pin shaft 108 is located at the inner end of the axial channel 702 and can be moved out of the limit disassembly block 7 in the axial direction. The positioning pin shaft 108 is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom cover connecting part 106 by threaded connection. Through the above arrangement, it is ensured that when the valve stem 3 is in the open position to the full open degree, the limit disassembly block 7 can be removed. Therefore, the upstream pipeline is cut off, and then the valve is opened to drain the fluid, and then the limit disassembly block 7 is moved and the valve stem 3 is rotated to the disassembly position to complete the disassembly.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the bottom cover 8 and the lower end of the bottom cover connecting portion 106 are connected and fastened by a third connecting bolt 11 , and a first sealing gasket 12 is provided between the bottom cover 8 and the lower end of the bottom cover connecting portion 106 .

[0046] The bottom cover 8 protrudes toward the inner cavity of the third part to form a positioning convex column 801, and an annular sealing groove is provided on the outer circumference of the positioning convex column 801. The first sealing gasket 12 is limited in the annular sealing groove. The cross-section of the first sealing gasket 12 is as follows: Figure 5As shown, its lower end is divided into a rectangular structure adapted to the annular sealing groove, and its upper surface from the inside to the outside are respectively a first plane 1201, a transition slope 1202, and a second plane 1203. The height of the first plane 1201 relative to the bottom surface is higher than the second plane 1203. When installing, the first sealing gasket 12 is first embedded in the annular sealing groove, and then the bottom cover 8 is connected to the bottom cover connecting part 106, and they are fastened by the third connecting bolt 11. In the process of rotating the third connecting bolt 11, the end face of the bottom cover connecting part 106 first abuts against the first plane 1201 and forms a gap with the transition slope 1202 and the second plane 1203, and then the third connecting bolt 11 is continued to be rotated to tighten, and the end face of the bottom cover connecting part 106 squeezes the first sealing gasket 12 to deform the first sealing gasket 12.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, a sealing groove is provided between the outer periphery of the upper end of the positioning convex column 801 and the inner wall of the third part, and a lip seal 20 is provided in the sealing groove. A lip seal limiting convex ring portion 802 is provided on the outer periphery of the upper end of the positioning convex column 801, and the lip seal limiting convex ring portion 802 forms a limit for the lip seal 20. One side of the lip seal limiting convex ring portion 802 is a guiding smooth inclined surface 803 for facilitating the insertion of the lip seal 20, and the other side is a limiting smooth convex surface 804 to prevent the lip seal 20 from sliding out. Under the action of a certain external force, the lip seal 20 can be removed without damage by slowly moving along the limiting smooth convex surface 804.

[0048] The upper end surface of the limit disassembly block 7 is connected and matched with the upper end surface of the third part through a ball bearing 9, the lower end surface of the limit disassembly block 7 is connected and matched with the upper end surface of the bottom cover 8 through a ball bearing 9, and there is a clearance fit between the limit disassembly block 7 and the inner wall of the third part. Through the above arrangement, the torque of the valve stem rotation is reduced.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the inner circumference of the valve seat fixing convex ring 107 is provided with a valve seat assembly mounting groove, and the valve seat assembly 5 is arranged in the valve seat assembly mounting groove;

[0050] The valve seat assembly 5 includes a hard-sealed valve seat 501, a four-open ring 502, and a positioning block 503. The inner wall of the valve seat assembly installation groove is provided with an embedding groove, and the four-open ring 502 is arranged in the embedding groove. The hard-sealed valve seat 501 and the positioning block 503 are respectively located on both sides of the four-open ring 502 and are connected and fastened by the fourth connecting bolt 13. The hard-sealed valve seat 501 can be sealed with the butterfly plate 4. The valve seat assembly 5 is detachable through the above arrangement. The sealing surface of the hard-sealed valve seat 501 is made of surfacing stainless steel and cobalt-based hard alloy, and the sealing surface is wear-resistant, high-temperature-resistant and has a long service life.

[0051] A sealing groove is provided between the outer periphery of the hard sealing valve seat 501 and the inner wall of the valve seat assembly installation groove, and a single sealing energy storage ring 14 is provided in the sealing groove, and the sealing end of the single sealing energy storage ring 14 is arranged away from the butterfly plate 4, which effectively prevents leakage.

[0052] The single-seal energy storage ring 14 includes an energy storage spring made of a hairspring alloy or INCONEL alloy, a jacket made of modified PTFE wrapped with high-strength alloy wire as the inner ribs, and a T-shaped retaining ring made of modified PTFE wrapped with high-strength alloy wire as the inner ribs. An opening is provided on the side of the jacket away from the butterfly plate 4, and the energy storage spring is arranged in the opening and wrapped by the jacket to limit the position of the energy storage spring. The T-shaped retaining ring is arranged on the side of the jacket away from the butterfly plate 4, and one end with a small area supports the energy storage spring.

[0053] A retaining ring 15 is provided between the single seal energy storage ring 14 and the four open rings 502, and an adjusting bolt 16 is provided. The adjusting bolt 16 passes through the positioning block 503, the four open rings 502, and the retaining ring 15 in sequence, and its end is threadedly connected with the retaining ring 15. By rotating the adjusting bolt 16, the compression amount of the single seal energy storage ring 14 can be effectively adjusted, thereby adjusting the sealing performance.

[0054] The butterfly plate 4 includes a butterfly plate body 401, a butterfly plate sealing ring 402, and a pressure plate 403. The butterfly plate body 401 is circumferentially provided with a first positioning groove and a second positioning groove. The first positioning groove is arranged closer to the valve stem 3 than the second positioning groove. The butterfly plate sealing ring 402 is arranged in the first positioning groove, and the pressure plate 403 is arranged in the second positioning groove. The pressure plate 403 and the butterfly plate body 401 are connected and fastened by the fifth connecting bolt 17, and the butterfly plate sealing ring 402 is clamped between the two. A second sealing gasket 18 is arranged between the butterfly plate sealing ring 402 and the butterfly plate body 401. Among them, the surface of the butterfly plate body 401 is streamlined, so that the fluid resistance loss is small.

[0055] The butterfly plate sealing ring 402 can be as follows Figure 7 The pure metal sealing ring shown in FIG. Figure 8 The soft and hard laminated metal sheet combined seal shown, i.e., multiple layers of hard metal sealing sheets and multiple layers of soft sealing gaskets sandwiched between the hard metal sealing sheets, is squeezed and deformed under the pressure of the pressure plate 403. The outer periphery of the soft sealing gasket is a convex curved surface, and a part of the side of the soft sealing gasket close to the valve seat assembly 5 is convex relative to the hard metal sealing sheet and part is concave relative to the soft sealing gasket, providing a space for sealing deformation, having the dual advantages of metal hard sealing and elastic sealing, bidirectional pressure, reliable sealing, long service life, and very good sealing performance regardless of low temperature or high temperature conditions.

[0056] like Fig. 9As shown, a third sealing gasket 21 is provided between the extended valve cover 2 and the extended valve cover connecting portion 103, and a plurality of annular sealing member limiting grooves adapted to the third sealing gasket 21 are provided on the extended valve cover connecting portion 103. The third sealing gasket 21 is limited in the annular sealing member limiting groove and the upper end surface is convexly arranged relative to the annular sealing member limiting groove. The upper end surface of the third sealing gasket 21 is provided with a plurality of annular grooves 2101, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 As shown, the cross-section of the surface of the annular groove 2101 is an arc line with a radius of r1 and a depth of d in a natural state, and the lower end surface of the extended valve cover connecting part 103 is provided with a plurality of hemispherical convex ring portions 201 relative to the plurality of annular grooves 2101. The cross-section of the hemispherical convex ring portion 201 is a semicircle with a radius of r2, d<r2<r1. With this arrangement, under the tightening action of the bolts, the third sealing gasket 21 is deformed, and the inner wall of the annular groove 2101 fits the hemispherical convex ring portion 201, thereby increasing the sealing surface and improving the sealing effect.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the extended valve cover 2 is provided with a drip plate 22 to increase the heat dissipation efficiency. The plate is made of plate, which is first flattened and connected to the valve cover by friction welding to ensure its flatness and performance. The heat dissipation of the valve is ensured.

[0058] like Fig.11 As shown, the upper valve cover 202 is welded on the extended valve cover 2. The upper valve cover 202 is integrally formed with the bracket and sealed with the valve stem 3 by packing. Through this setting, the overall bracket length can be freely controlled, and the length of the valve cover mold can remain unchanged, thereby saving costs; butt welding connection ensures concentricity and verticality. Ensure that the packing of the low-temperature valve will not freeze, avoid unsmooth switching, and scratch the packing and valve stem. Improve the performance of the butterfly valve.

[0059] A valve stem bearing 19 is provided between the lower end of the extended valve cover 2 and the valve stem 3. The valve stem bearing 19 used in this embodiment is made of self-lubricating tin bronze, with a small friction coefficient, specifically <0.16, which reduces torque and is flexible to open and close.

[0060] The present embodiment is provided with an end stem limiting and disassembling device, which can freely limit the stem and disassemble the stem. The movable valve seat structure can freely disassemble the single sealing energy storage ring, and the butterfly plate sealing ring structure can replace the sealing ring. The improvement of these several designs makes it possible to quickly disassemble the butterfly valve online. When the valve is repaired, it is only necessary to open the valve cover to lift out the butterfly plate and other accessories such as the elastic movable compensation valve seat, and repair or replace the accessories outside the on-site pipeline. Specifically, after removing the valve cover, the butterfly plate, the movable valve seat, and the valve seat pull plate and other internal parts can be directly taken out from the middle cavity. The whole process does not require the valve to be disassembled from the pipeline, and the internal parts can be replaced or repaired, achieving true non-destructive disassembly and assembly. Theoretically, the sealing ring can be replaced in every maintenance cycle, which greatly extends the service life of the valve and improves the overall performance of the ball valve. As long as the valve body is not damaged, the valve internal parts can be replaced an unlimited number of times, which greatly saves costs. The overall structure is compact and light in weight, the standard structure length does not need to be extended, it is easy to install and disassemble, the valve cover and valve body are easy to seal without leakage, and the valve seat and sealing ring are zero leakage.
