[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve, is a regulating valve with a simple structure. It can be used for switching control of low-pressure pipeline media. A butterfly valve refers to a valve in which the closing member (valve disc or butterfly plate) is a disc that rotates around the valve axis to achieve opening and closing.

[0003] Valves can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal and radioactive media. They mainly play the role of cutting off and throttling in pipelines. The butterfly valve opening and closing part is a disc-shaped butterfly plate that rotates around its own axis in the valve body to achieve the purpose of opening, closing or regulating.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0023] A plastic butterfly valve disclosed in the present invention is mainly applied to scenarios where butterfly valves are used.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3A plastic butterfly valve comprises a butterfly valve support shell 5, a first support shaft 7 and a plastic blade 6.

During the squeezing process, the setting of multiple convex points 803 can prevent the squeezing position from sliding, thereby ensuring the stability of the squeezing. After squeezing, the paste filler is discharged from the position of the rubber sealing sheet 804, and the rubber sealing sheet 804 is driven to stretch to expand the shielding area, so that the gap is sealed by the pressure given by the paste filler in the rubber sleeve 802 and the shielding provided by the stretching of the rubber sealing sheet 804, effectively improving the sealing. Sealing performance, based on the retraction of the rubber sealing sheet 804, when the butterfly valve is opened, it can avoid blocking the flowing objects with excessive blocking area. The connecting mechanism 2 is mainly used to establish the connection between the first support shaft 7 and the DC motor 1, and it is through multiple limit rods 207 inserted into multiple plug holes 205 to realize the driving of the first support shaft 7 by the DC motor 1. If the motor 1 is abnormal and affects the normal opening and closing of the plastic blade 6, the pressure rod 203 can be manually pressed down, and the pressure rod 203 can be horizontally inserted into one end of the first L-shaped slide groove 210, so that the multiple limit rods 207 can be disconnected from the DC motor 1. Under this structure, the switching between manual operation and automatic operation can be realized, thereby providing a backup plan for the butterfly valve in an abnormal state to ensure the normal operation of the butterfly valve.
