Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of valve devices, and more specifically, to a butterfly valve device that opens and closes based on pipeline pressure. Background Technology

[0002] Butterfly valves are widely used in industrial fields due to their advantages of low operating torque, small installation space, light weight, durability, and high reliability. The relationship between the opening degree of a butterfly valve and the flow rate is basically linear.

[0003] Currently available butterfly valves typically have an actuator installed on the top, allowing the valve to be opened and closed manually or by using the actuator instead of manual operation. The actuator requires electrical assistance to open and close the valve, and it cannot be effectively started in the event of a power failure.

[0004] Therefore, a butterfly valve that is not electrically driven and opens and closes based on the pressure inside the pipeline is needed to meet the application requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This application provides a butterfly valve device based on pipeline pressure opening and closing, which includes a pipeline, a rotating shaft with both ends rotatably connected to the inner wall of the pipeline, and a valve plate sleeved on the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the valve plate to rotate to connect or disconnect the pipeline. The inner wall of the pipeline is provided with opposing blocking blocks and elastic limiting mechanisms. The blocking blocks are used to prevent the valve plate that disconnects the pipeline from rotating in a first direction; the elastic limiting mechanism is used to prevent the valve plate that disconnects the pipeline from rotating in a second direction, and stops blocking the valve plate when the pressure in the pipeline reaches a preset pressure. The first direction and the second direction are opposite. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the torsion spring is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate the valve plate to disconnect the pipeline.

[0009] In some alternative implementations, a spring post is connected to the end of the slider away from the pipe, and a control spring is sleeved on the spring post.

[0010] In some alternative implementations, a baffle is also provided inside the control cavity, through which the spring column slides, and the two ends of the control spring press against the slider and the baffle respectively.

[0011] In some alternative implementations, the control tank has at least one vent hole at the end away from the pipeline that connects to the control chamber.

[0012] In some alternative implementations, the inner wall of the pipe is also connected to fixed posts located on both sides of the valve plate; when the valve plate that cuts off the pipe rotates 90 degrees in the second direction, both ends are blocked by the two fixed posts.

[0013] In some alternative implementations, the fixed column and the valve plate are configured to be magnetically attracted to each other when in contact.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The butterfly valve device based on pipeline pressure opening and closing provided by this application includes a pipeline, a rotating shaft with both ends rotatably connected to the inner wall of the pipeline, and a valve plate sleeved on the rotating shaft.

[0028] The features and performance of the butterfly valve device based on pipeline pressure opening and closing of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this application provides a butterfly valve device based on pipeline pressure for opening and closing. It includes a pipeline 100, a horizontally arranged shaft 110 rotatably connected to both ends of the inner wall of the pipeline 100, and a valve plate 120 vertically arranged and fixedly sleeved on the shaft 110. When the shaft 110 rotates, it drives the valve plate 120 to rotate, connecting or disconnecting the pipeline 100. A blocking block 130 and an elastic limiting mechanism 200 are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the pipeline 100, located on the same side of the valve plate 120. The blocking block 130 is used for… A valve plate 120 that blocks the cutting-off of the pipeline 100 rotates clockwise around the axis of the rotating shaft 110; an elastic limiting mechanism 200 is used to block the valve plate 120 that blocks the cutting-off of the pipeline 100 from rotating counterclockwise around the axis of the rotating shaft 110, and stops blocking the valve plate 120 when the pressure inside the pipeline 100 reaches a preset pressure; a torsion spring 140 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 110, and the two ends of the torsion spring 140 are respectively connected to the pipeline 100 and the rotating shaft 110. The torsion spring 140 is used to drive the rotating shaft 110 to rotate, thereby driving the valve plate 120 to rotate to cut off the pipeline 100. The inner wall of the pipeline 100 is also connected to fixed posts 150 located on both sides of the valve plate 120; when the vertically arranged valve plate 120 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise around the axis of the rotating shaft 110, its two ends are blocked by the two fixed posts 150 respectively; the fixed posts 150 are made of magnets, and the valve plate 120 is an iron plate. When the valve plate 120 rotates to contact the fixed posts 150, they are connected by magnetic attraction.

[0030] The elastic limiting mechanism 200 includes a control tank 210 connected to the bottom wall of the pipe 100. The control tank 210 has a cylindrical control cavity 220 whose top communicates with the pipe 100. A movable slider 230 is provided within the control cavity 220. A blocking post 240 for blocking the valve plate 120 is connected to one end of the slider 230 facing the pipe 100, and a spring post 260 is connected to the other end of the slider 230 away from the pipe 100. A control spring 250 is sleeved on the spring post 260. The control cavity 220 also includes... There is a baffle 270, and a spring column 260 slides through the baffle 270. The two ends of the control spring 250 press against the slider 230 and the baffle 270 respectively. When the pressure in the pipe 100 increases, it pushes the slider 230 to move away from the pipe 100 along the control cavity 220 and drives the blocking column 240 to move. When the pressure in the pipe 100 reaches the preset pressure, the blocking column 240 stops blocking the valve plate 120. A vent 280 communicating with the control cavity 220 is opened at the end of the control tank 210 away from the pipe 100.

[0031] The working principle of the butterfly valve device based on pipeline pressure opening and closing provided in this application embodiment is as follows: fluid is introduced into the pipeline 100 on the side of the valve plate 120 facing the blocking block 130. When the fluid enters the pipeline 100 and applies pressure to the surface of the valve plate 120, the blocking block 130 connected to the top of the pipeline 100 presses against the top side of the valve plate 120 to prevent the valve plate 120 from rotating clockwise. At this time, the pressure of the fluid applied to the slider 230 in the elastic limiting mechanism 200 on the side facing the pipeline 100 is counteracted by the control spring 250. The pushing force on the side of block 230 away from pipe 100 is equal, causing the blocking post 240 connected to the side of block 230 toward pipe 100 to extend into pipe 100. Thus, the blocking post 240 extending into pipe 100 in the elastic limiting mechanism 200 at the bottom of pipe 100 presses against the bottom side of valve plate 120 to prevent valve plate 120 from rotating counterclockwise. The top and bottom sides of valve plate 120 are blocked by blocking block 130 and blocking post 240 respectively, so that valve plate 120 remains vertically arranged to cut off pipe 100.

[0032] As the pressure of the fluid flowing into pipe 100 gradually increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid on the slider 230 in the elastic limiting mechanism 200 towards pipe 100 is greater than the pushing force of the control spring 250 on the slider 230 away from pipe 100. At this time, the pressure exerted by the fluid pushes the slider 230 along the control chamber 220 away from pipe 100 and moves the blocking column 240 to compress the control spring 250. When the pressure of the fluid flowing into pipe 100 reaches a preset value, the pressure exerted by the fluid pushes the slider 230 to move the blocking column 240 until it stops pressing against valve plate 1. The bottom side of the valve plate 120 causes the pressure exerted by the fluid entering the pipe 100 on the top and bottom of the valve plate 120 to become unbalanced. The fluid pushes the valve plate 120 and the rotating shaft 110 to overcome the tension of the torsion spring 140 and rotate counterclockwise around the axis of the rotating shaft 110 to stop cutting off the pipe 100 and realize the normal transportation of fluid. When the pressure of the fluid entering the pipe 100 continues to increase to push the valve plate 120 to rotate counterclockwise around the axis of the rotating shaft 110 to a horizontal position, the two ends of the valve plate 120 contact the two fixed columns 150 respectively and are connected to each other by magnetic attraction, so that the pipe 100 is in the normally open state.

[0033] When the pressure of the fluid flowing into pipe 100 decreases to below the preset pressure, the pressure exerted by the fluid on the slider 230 in the elastic limiting mechanism 200 towards pipe 100 is less than the pushing force of the control spring 250 on the slider 230 away from pipe 100. At this time, the control spring 250 pushes the slider 230 to move along the control cavity 220 towards pipe 100 and drives the blocking column 240 to move and re-enter pipe 100. At the same time, the magnetic force of the fixed column 150 on the valve plate 120 is less than the force exerted by the torsion spring 140 on the rotating shaft 110. The torsion spring 140 pushes the rotating shaft 110 to rotate, causing the valve plate 120 to disengage from the fixed column 150 and rotate to a vertical arrangement to cut off pipe 100.

[0034] The control chamber 220 is equipped with a baffle 270. A spring post 260 slides through the baffle 270. The two ends of the control spring 250 press against the slider 230 and the baffle 270 respectively. The sliding cooperation between the baffle 270 and the spring post 260 ensures that the fluid pushes the slider 230 to move stably along the control chamber 220, causing the blocking post 240 to move into or out of the pipe 100 to block or stop the blocking valve plate 120. A vent 280 connected to the control chamber 220 is opened at the end of the control tank 210 away from the pipe 100. The vent 280 can balance the pressure difference and prevent device failure due to a sudden increase in pressure difference.

[0035] The embodiments described above are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. The detailed description of the embodiments of this application is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
