Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline valves, in particular to a valve body capable of distributing flow. Background Art
[0002] In water conservancy projects and related fields, gate valve type flow distribution valves are often used to distribute and control the flow of river water. With its relatively simple structure and convenient operation, it has been widely used in many occasions. However, in actual use, it faces some problems that need to be solved when installed at the bottom of the river.
[0003] There are obvious differences in the flow rate of river water at different depths. The area close to the bottom of the river channel is relatively slow due to the obstruction of obstacles such as water plants and stones. This uneven flow rate is an inherent characteristic of river water flow, which has an important impact on the gate valve type flow distribution valve installed at the bottom. When the bottom of the valve seat of the gate valve type flow distribution valve is installed at the bottom of the river channel (or installed in an agricultural irrigation canal with relatively small water flow and flow rate), when the water flow with a slower flow rate flows through the bottom of the valve seat, the water plants, silt and other materials it carries are easily accumulated on the raised part of the bottom of the valve seat due to insufficient water flow power. This phenomenon gradually intensifies during long-term operation, seriously affecting the sealing performance of the distribution valve. In addition, when the distribution valve is in a non-fully closed state, that is, when the bottom of the gate is located in the middle of the water flow, the water flow will continuously scour and erode the bottom of the gate. Since the water flow has a certain kinetic energy, long-term scouring will gradually erode the edge of the gate, resulting in a poor sealing effect.
[0004] In the above scenario, the gap between the gate and the valve seat caused by erosion and material accumulation makes it impossible for the distribution valve to be completely sealed. This will not only lead to inaccurate flow distribution, affect the operating efficiency of the entire water conservancy system, but also cause waste of water resources. Summary of the invention

[0007] The lifting mechanism drives the adaptable sealing mechanism to slide up and down in the isolation groove to control the size of the liquid cavity opening;
[0008] When the liquid passage chamber is in a non-fully closed state, the water flow drives the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism to form a rotation angle, and the buffer mechanism is used to reduce the rotation angle of the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism to reduce the water flow impact force on the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism;
[0009] During the transition of the liquid passage chamber from a non-fully closed state to a fully closed state, the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism gradually turns toward the direction of the water flow source to scrape off the mud and sand impurities piled up at the bottom of the liquid passage chamber.

[0014] As a further improvement of the technical solution, when the bottom of the sealing plate is close to the bottom of the second base, the height of the top of the rotating shaft is lower than the height of the top of the first base.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] In the flow-distributable valve body, a lifting mechanism is provided to drive the adaptive sealing mechanism to slide up and down in the isolation groove, so as to control the size of the opening of the liquid chamber to adapt to different flow distribution requirements. When the liquid chamber is in a non-fully closed state, the water flow drives the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism to form a turning angle, and the buffer mechanism is used to reduce the rotation angle of the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism to reduce the water flow impact force on a single part of the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism, thereby extending the service life of the movable plate and the sealing plate to increase the service life of the sealing plate. In the process of the liquid chamber changing from a non-fully closed state to a fully closed state, the movable plate gradually turns to the direction of the water flow source to scrape off the mud and sand impurities piled up at the bottom of the liquid chamber.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0034] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present embodiment aims to provide a valve body capable of distributing flow, including a mounting mechanism 100, the mounting mechanism 100 including a frame 110, a partition seat fixedly connected between a pair of inner side walls separated from each other in the frame 110, a mounting cavity 120 formed by the top of the partition seat and the inner top wall of the frame 110, a liquid passage cavity 130 formed by the bottom of the partition seat and the inner bottom wall of the frame 110, a separation groove 140 is provided on the top of the partition seat, an adaptable sealing mechanism 300 is slidably connected in the isolation groove 140, a lifting mechanism 200 is provided on one side of the adaptable sealing mechanism 300, and a buffer mechanism 400 is provided at the lower part of the adaptable sealing mechanism 300;
[0035] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism 200 drives the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 to slide up and down in the isolation groove 140 to control the size of the opening of the liquid chamber 130;
[0036] When the liquid passage chamber 130 is in a non-fully closed state, the water flow drives the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 to form a rotation angle, and the buffer mechanism 400 is used to reduce the rotation angle of the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 to reduce the water flow impact force on the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300; when the water flow speed remains unchanged, the larger the opening of the liquid passage chamber 130 (that is, the closer the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 is to the bottom of the river channel), the larger the deflection angle of the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300;
[0037] When the liquid chamber 130 changes from the non-fully closed state to the fully closed state, the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 gradually turns to the direction of the water flow source to scrape off the mud and sand impurities piled up at the bottom of the liquid chamber 130 .
[0038] In order to ensure the sealing performance of the liquid passage chamber 130 when it is closed, a protruding structure (the sealing slope to be described below) is usually provided at the bottom of the liquid passage chamber 130 .
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the top of the separator is fixedly connected to the limit bolt 121 on one side of the isolation groove 140, the isolation groove 140 connects the installation cavity 120 and the liquid passage cavity 130, and the bottom of the liquid passage cavity 130 is respectively provided with a first base 131 and a second base 132, the height of the first base 131 is higher than the height of the second base 132, and a sealing slope is formed between the first base 131 and the second base 132; when the bottom of the sealing plate 310 is close to the bottom of the second base 132, the height of the top of the rotating shaft 330 is lower than the height of the top of the first base 131.
[0040] The improvement lies in that: when the liquid chamber 130 needs to be completely closed to cut off the water flow, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 when closing the liquid chamber 130, compared with setting the bottom of the liquid chamber 130 as a slope, the bottom of the liquid chamber 130 is set as a stepped structure with one high and one low to form a sealing slope. Therefore, when the liquid chamber 130 needs to be closed, the lifting mechanism 200 is rotated to drive the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 to move downward. When the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 is in contact with the second base 132, the top of one side of the sealing slope is in close contact with the side wall of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300, thereby ensuring that the liquid chamber 130 is completely sealed.
[0041] In order to drive the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 to rise and fall to meet different flow distribution requirements, a lifting mechanism 200 is provided on one side of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 .
[0042] exist Figure 5 In the figure, the lifting mechanism 200 includes a ball screw 210 rotatably connected to the top of the limiting bolt 121 , a turntable 220 is coaxially connected to the top of the ball screw 210 , and a screw nut seat 230 is threadedly connected to the ball screw 210 .
[0043] The improvement lies in that when the size of the opening of the liquid chamber 130 needs to be changed, the turntable 220 is rotated (when the water flow rate is relatively small, it is rotated manually; when the water flow rate is large and manual rotation is impossible, it can be driven by another driving device, such as a motor). The turntable 220 drives the ball screw 210 to rotate on the top of the limit bolt 121, and the rotating ball screw 210 drives the screw nut seat 230 to move up and down. The screw nut seat 230 is fixedly connected to the adaptive sealing mechanism 300, so the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 will move up and down to change the size of the liquid chamber 130.
[0044] In order to ensure the sealing of the liquid chamber 130 when it is closed, a raised sealing slope is set at the bottom of the liquid chamber 130 so that the sealing slope can fit the side wall of the sealing structure (the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 to be described below). However, when a slower flow of water flows through the liquid chamber 130, due to the uneven bottom of the river channel (the presence of obstacles such as aquatic plants and sand and gravel), the mud and sand carried by the water flow will accumulate at the sealing slope, which will cause the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 to be blocked by mud and sand, resulting in a gap between it and the bottom of the liquid chamber 130 and an inability to be completely sealed. Therefore, the bottom of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 is set to a rotatable structure.
[0045] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the specific structure of the adaptive sealing mechanism 300 is disclosed below. The adaptive sealing mechanism 300 includes a sealing plate 310 and a movable plate 320. The sealing plate 310 is fixedly connected to the screw nut seat 230, and the sealing plate 310 is slidably connected to the isolation groove 140. A rotating shaft 330 is provided at the bottom of the movable plate 320, and the movable plate 320 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sealing plate 310 through the rotating shaft 330.
[0046] It should be noted that when the liquid chamber 130 needs to be completely closed, the turntable 220 is rotated to drive the screw nut seat 230 to descend, and the screw nut seat 230 drives the sealing plate 310 to descend. As the height of the sealing plate 310 decreases, the movable plate 320 at its bottom will first contact the side wall of the sealing slope until the bottom of the movable plate 320 contacts the second base 132. At this time, the sealing plate 310 continues to descend, and the movable plate 320 will rotate toward the side of the water source until the bottom of the sealing plate 310 is close to the second base 132. The process of the movable plate 320 scraping against the side wall of the sealing slope scrapes away impurities such as mud and sand accumulated around the sealing slope, ensuring that the sealing slope can be close to the side plate of the sealing plate 310, thereby ensuring that the liquid chamber 130 is completely sealed.
[0047] When the liquid chamber 130 is not completely closed, the movable plate 320 is in the middle of the water flow. The water flow impacts one position for a long time, causing the sealing of this position to deteriorate due to long-term erosion by the water flow. Therefore, the connection structure between the movable plate 320 and the sealing plate 310 is optimized.
[0048] Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The figure shows the positional connection relationship between the buffer mechanism 400 and the sealing plate 310 and the rotating shaft 330, and then the specific structure of the buffer mechanism 400 is disclosed. The buffer mechanism 400 is provided with multiple sealing cavities 410 at the bottom of the sealing plate 310, and each sealing cavity 410 is provided with multiple torsion springs 420. The inner ring of each torsion spring 420 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 330, and the outer ring of each torsion spring 420 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing cavity 410.
[0049] That is to say, when water flows through the bottom of the movable plate 320, due to the driving effect of the water flow, the movable plate 320 will be deflected by the driving force until the movable plate 320 is perpendicular to the sealing plate 310, but the water flow will always impact the same part of the bottom of the sealing plate 310, and the multiple torsion springs 420 arranged on the rotating shaft 330 provide a force to resist the rotation of the movable plate 320 when the movable plate 320 is driven by the water flow to rotate, which makes the deflection angle of the movable plate 320 between 0° and 90°, that is to say, the water flow The impact force of the flow is applied to the side of the entire inclined movable plate 320. Through the force analysis of the movable plate 320, it can be known that the force exerted on the movable plate 320 at this time is smaller than the force exerted when it was originally perpendicular to the flow direction of the water flow. In addition, under natural conditions, the flow rate of water is not constant, so the impact force of the water flow on the side of the movable plate 320 will be in a state of change, which alleviates the erosion of the movable plate 320 by the water flow, thereby extending the service life of the movable plate 320 and the sealing plate 310 and improving the sealing performance of the sealing plate 310.
[0050] In summary, the working principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0051] When the liquid chamber 130 needs to be kept open, water flows through the bottom of the movable plate 320. Due to the driving effect of the water flow, the movable plate 320 will be deflected by the driving force until the movable plate 320 is perpendicular to the sealing plate 310, but the water flow will continue to impact the same part of the bottom of the sealing plate 310. The multiple torsion springs 420 arranged on the rotating shaft 330 provide a force to resist the rotation of the movable plate 320 when the movable plate 320 is driven by the water flow to rotate, so that the deflection angle of the movable plate 320 is between 0° and 90°. In other words, the impact force of the water flow is applied to the entire Through the force analysis of the movable plate 320, it can be known that the force exerted on the movable plate 320 at this time is smaller than the force exerted when it is originally perpendicular to the flow direction of the water flow. Moreover, under natural conditions, the flow rate of water is not constant, so the impact force of the water flow on the side of the movable plate 320 will be changing, which alleviates the erosion of the movable plate 320 by the water flow, thereby extending the service life of the movable plate 320 and the sealing plate 310 and improving the sealing performance of the sealing plate 310.
[0052] When the liquid chamber 130 needs to be completely closed, the turntable 220 is rotated to drive the screw nut seat 230 to descend, and the screw nut seat 230 drives the sealing plate 310 to descend. As the height of the sealing plate 310 decreases, the movable plate 320 at its bottom will first contact the side wall of the sealing slope until the bottom of the movable plate 320 contacts the second base 132. At this time, the sealing plate 310 continues to descend, and the movable plate 320 will rotate toward the side of the water source until the bottom of the sealing plate 310 is close to the second base 132. The process of the movable plate 320 scraping against the side wall of the sealing slope scrapes away impurities such as mud and sand accumulated around the sealing slope, ensuring that the sealing slope can be close to the side plate of the sealing plate 310, thereby ensuring that the liquid chamber 130 is completely sealed.
