AI Technical Summary
Traditional soft-seal gate valves suffer from poor sealing performance, short service life, and susceptibility to fluid impact due to frequent friction between the gate and the pipe opening during use.
Employing sealing components and a reinforced stabilizing mechanism, including a slider, connecting column, sealing block, and spring, the gate valve achieves double sealing during opening and closing through a groove and inclined surface design. The combination of EPDM rubber and hydrogenated nitrile rubber enhances sealing performance and wear resistance.
It achieves a stable soft seal effect for the gate valve when it is fully open or fully closed, reducing operating costs and extending the service life and sealing performance of the gate valve.
