Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of valve plate equipment technology, and more specifically, to a method for processing a butterfly valve plate. Background Technology

[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve, is a simple regulating valve that can be used for on / off control of low-pressure pipeline media. A butterfly valve is a type of valve whose closing element is a disc that rotates around the valve shaft to achieve opening and closing. In addition to opening and regulating flow, the most important function of a valve is to seal and close. At this time, the valve must be leak-free when closed. Therefore, the valve seat sealing surface, which plays the main role in closing, is particularly important.

[0003] The sealing performance places extremely high demands on the flatness of the valve plate during processing. Due to its special material properties, temperature changes have a significant impact on its shape and dimensions. In particular, during the grinding process, the continuous action of the grinding wheel on the sealing plate generates high temperatures, causing it to deform due to heat. Currently, the internationally accepted technology is vacuum adsorption processing. However, due to limitations in domestic vacuum adsorption technology, sealing plates processed using the same process cannot meet the requirements for import substitution in terms of parallelism and flatness, making it impossible to achieve the localization of imported rotary valve rotor disc sealing plates.

[0004] Meanwhile, the sealing surface of a traditional valve seat is planar at the contact points between the upper and lower shaft ends and the upper and lower shaft ends of the valve plate, and also planar at the contact points with the outer circle of the valve plate. In addition, due to sealing requirements, there is a very wide sealing surface band. At this time, when the valve plate has not yet reached the closed position, interference has already begun to occur, which greatly increases the operating torque of the valve. Furthermore, because the sealing surface is planar, the sealing effect is not good, which can easily cause leakage or wear and scratches during use. In addition, the two ends of the traditional valve plate are connected to the valve stem through through holes. The shape of the through holes is usually polygonal or square, which has poor fit with the valve stem. When the valve stem rotates, the force is uneven, which can easily cause damage and affect the service life. Summary of the Invention
