Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plug valves, in particular to a plug valve. Background Art

[0002] A plug valve is a rotary valve with a closing member or plunger shape. It is a valve that is opened or closed by rotating 90 degrees so that the channel opening on the valve plug is the same as or perpendicular to the channel opening on the valve body. The shape of the valve plug of the plug valve can be cylindrical or conical. In a cylindrical valve plug, the channel is generally rectangular, while in a conical valve plug, the channel is trapezoidal. In a plug valve, the valve core often rubs against the valve seat when opening and closing, causing wear on the valve seat. When the valve core rotates downward, it cannot squeeze the valve seat to fit tightly against the pipes at both ends of the valve body, reducing the sealing effect of the valve seat on the pipe. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a plug valve that solves the problem of reduced sealing performance due to wear of the valve core and valve seat inside the plug valve.

[0005] Through the above technical solution, even if the valve core and the valve seat are used for a long time and wear occurs due to friction, the sealing performance can still be maintained by the adaptive sealing strip, thereby greatly improving the service life of the valve body.

[0006] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a driving shaft, a driving shaft is rotatably connected to the end of the top cover away from the fixed cover, one end of the driving shaft is fixedly connected to a rotating wheel, the end of the driving shaft away from the rotating wheel is fixedly connected to a worm, the side of the rotating wheel away from the driving shaft is fixedly connected to a hand crank, a protective glove is provided on the outer rotating sleeve of the hand crank, the upper end of the rotating lifting mechanism is fixedly connected to a worm wheel, the worm wheel and the worm are engaged with each other, the protective glove is made of plastic, and a plurality of anti-slip grooves are fixedly connected to the protective glove.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, with the cooperation of the sleeve, screw rod, limit rod and limit block, the valve core can be rotated first when closing, so that the through hole and the pipeline are at 90 degrees, and then moved downward. The valve seat is squeezed to both sides through the tapered lower end, so that the sealing ring on the valve seat squeezes the two ends of the valve body to seal and improve the sealing effect. When opening, the valve core can be lifted first to reduce the friction of the valve core rotation, making it more convenient to open the valve.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom end of the rotating valve core is conical, and sliders are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating valve core. A sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the valve seat, and the sliding groove and the slider slide with each other. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the side of the valve seat away from the rotating valve core, and a through hole is provided in the rotating valve core. The sealing ring is made of rubber, the through hole is trapezoidal, and the corners of the through hole are rounded.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the rotating valve core can drive the valve seat to rotate, and by making the rotating valve core and the valve seat slide relative to each other, the valve seat is squeezed to move toward both ends, so that the sealing ring on the valve seat is sealed.

[0015] Preferably, a sealing plate is provided on the outer sleeve of the end of the transmission shaft close to the sleeve, a second sealing ring is fixedly connected to the side of the sealing plate close to the transmission shaft, and a first sealing ring is fixedly connected to the side of the sealing plate close to the fixed cover, the second sealing ring and the first sealing ring are both made of rubber, and the upper surface of the sealing plate is threaded with a plurality of fixing bolts, the fixing bolts are rotatably connected to the fixed cover, and the sealing plate is made of stainless steel.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the transmission shaft position on the valve can be sealed to prevent internal liquid from leaking through the transmission shaft.

[0017] Preferably, the rotating valve core is made of stainless steel, the rotating valve core and the transmission shaft are integrated, a plurality of circular holes are opened on the flange, the outer shell is made of stainless steel, and the top cover and the fixed cover are integrated.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the valve can be made stronger and the risk of leakage can be reduced.

[0019] Working principle: When opening the valve, the hand crank 64 is used to rotate the wheel 63, so that the wheel 63 rotates with the multi-function worm 62 through the drive shaft 61, and the worm 62 cooperates with the worm wheel 66 to drive the rotating shaft 71 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 71 drives the screw rod 74 to rotate. Under the cooperation of the screw rod 74 and the sleeve 75, the sleeve 75 moves up, and the sleeve 75 drives the transmission shaft 8 to move up through the fixing pin 9, and the transmission shaft 8 drives the rotating valve core 14 to move up. When the limit rod 78 moves to the bottom of the slide groove 77 and the fixing block 76 clamps the limit block 73, the rotation of the rotating shaft 71 drives the sleeve 75 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating valve core 14 to rotate, and the rotating valve core 14 drives the valve seat 17 to rotate through the slider 16, aligning the through hole 15 with the openings at both ends of the valve body to open the valve. When the valve is to be closed, the reverse direction is used. Rotate the wheel 63 to rotate the rotating valve core 14 in the opposite direction to drive the valve seat 17 back to its original position, making the through hole 15 and the pipeline at a 90° angle. After that, since the limit rod 78 reaches the rightmost side of the slide groove, the sleeve 75 cannot continue to rotate. Therefore, the rotation of the rotating shaft 71 causes the screw rod 74 to cooperate with the sleeve 75 to push the sleeve 75 downward, thereby causing the rotating valve core 14 to move downward. By rotating the conical bottom of the valve core 14, the valve seat 17 is pushed to both sides. At this time, the adaptive sealing strip 20 in the fixed groove 24 moves outward under the action of the spring 23, and the liquid in the pipeline enters the groove 22 through the micropore 21, so that the liquid pressure on both sides of the adaptive sealing strip 20 is the same, so that the adaptive sealing strip 20 is only subjected to the thrust of the spring 23, thereby squeezing each other with the sealing ring 18 to improve the sealing effect.

[0020] The present invention provides a plug valve having the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The present invention improves the sealing performance of the valve body by installing an adaptive sealing strip in the housing and pushing the adaptive sealing strip and the sealing ring to be squeezed by a spring. By providing micropores and grooves on the adaptive sealing strip, the liquid in the pipeline can enter the fixed groove, so that the liquid pressure at both ends of the adaptive sealing strip is equal, and the adaptive sealing strip is prevented from moving into the fixed groove due to excessive liquid pressure, thereby increasing the gap between the adaptive sealing strip and the sealing ring and affecting the sealing effect. Regardless of the position of the valve seat due to wear, the adaptive sealing strip can always be in close contact with the sealing ring, so that the sealing effect will not be reduced.

[0022] The present invention uses a rotary lifting mechanism to make the valve core rotate and rise when opening. Due to the conical setting of the lower end of the valve core, the pressure on the valve seat is relaxed, making the valve easier to open. When closing, it rotates and descends, squeezing the valve seats on both sides, causing the valve seats to move to both sides and making the sealing rings on the valve seats close to the inlets and outlets at both ends of the valve body, forming a sealing effect.
