Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of valves, and in particular relates to a wedge-type double-disc gate valve suitable for both horizontal and vertical pipelines and an assembly method. Background Art

[0002] The gate valve is sealed by the contact between the valve seat and the valve disc sealing surface. The opening and closing movement direction of the valve disc is perpendicular to the flow direction of the medium. The gate valve can only be fully opened or fully closed, and cannot be used as a regulating valve. The commonly used gate valve disc has two sealing surfaces forming a wedge shape, and the wedge angle is generally 5°. When the gate valve is closed, it relies on the medium force to achieve sealing, that is, the medium force pushes the sealing surface of the valve disc close to the sealing surface of the valve seat on the outlet side.

[0003] The wedge-type double-disc gate valve consists of two valve discs, with a universal top and a gasket in the middle of the two valve discs. The two valve discs can freely rotate around the spherical surface of the universal top to compensate for the error caused by the sealing surface angle processing process and ensure the sealing performance. The wedge-type double-disc gate valve is recommended to be installed on a horizontal pipeline. If it is installed on a vertical pipeline, the guide ribs of the lower valve disc and the guide grooves of the valve body cooperate, and the lower valve disc is in the horizontal direction. Since the upper valve disc is a wedge-type structure, the center of gravity of the entire upper valve disc is located on the right side of the center line, causing the upper valve disc to rotate clockwise after the valve is opened. The left side of the upper valve disc sealing surface is lifted up, and the right side of the sealing surface falls down. When closing the valve again, the left side of the sealing surface of the upper valve disc is easy to hit the valve seat, causing damage to the sealing surface and failure of the valve seal. Summary of the invention

[0009] Guide grooves are respectively provided on the front side wall and the rear side wall of the inner cavity of the valve body, and the guide grooves are arranged on the left and right. The two guide convex strips are slidably matched with the two guide grooves in a one-to-one correspondence. A T-shaped connecting structure is provided at the left end of the valve stem, and the left end of the valve stem passes through the valve cover.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an adjustable gasket, which is in the form of a plurality of adjustable gaskets, the thickness of which varies sequentially, and any one of the adjustable gaskets is arranged in the spring groove of the lower valve disc, and the lower end of the compression spring is abutted against the corresponding bottom surface of the spring groove on the lower valve disc through the adjustable gasket.

[0011] Furthermore, the valve cover is connected to the valve body through a four-ring and is sealed by a sealing ring.

When the valve stem is used to drive the valve disc assembly to slide left and right along the guide groove, the valve disc assembly can close or open the medium flow channel to avoid the upper valve disc from rotating and causing damage to the valve seat sealing oblique surface.

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are provided to explain the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0035] Embodiment 1: Figure 1 to Figure 7 As shown, a wedge-type double-disc gate valve suitable for both horizontal and vertical pipelines includes a valve body 1, which is a three-way component. When the gate valve is set to be used in a vertical pipeline, the medium inlet 23 and the medium outlet 24 of the valve body 1 are coaxially arranged up and down to form a vertical medium flow channel. The side opening of the valve body 1 is arranged to the right, and the valve cover 7 closes the side opening of the valve body 1. Valve seats 2 are arranged on the diameters of the medium inlet 23 and the medium outlet 24. The end faces of the two valve seats 2 on one side opposite to each other are first oblique sealing surfaces that gradually converge from right to left, and the two valve seats 2 are symmetrical up and down.

[0036] The valve flap assembly includes an upper valve flap 6 and a lower valve flap 3. The upper valve flap 6 includes a cylindrical main body structure 17 and a connecting flange 13 arranged at the lower part of the main body structure 17. The connecting flange 13 is biased to the right side of the main body structure 17. A cylindrical groove 18 and two groups of spring grooves 19 are arranged on the lower end surface of the upper valve flap 6. The axis of the cylindrical groove 18 coincides with the axis of the main body structure 17. The axis of the spring groove 19 is located on the right side of the axis of the main body structure 17. The center of gravity position of the upper valve flap 6 is determined by three-dimensional modeling of the upper valve flap 6. The two groups of spring grooves 19 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center of gravity of the upper valve flap 6 to ensure that the spring force of the compression spring 16 acts on the center of gravity of the upper valve flap 6 and applies force symmetrically to ensure that the upper valve flap 6 is evenly stressed.

[0037] The upper valve flap 6 and the lower valve flap 3 have the same structure and are symmetrical up and down. After the connecting flanges 13 of the upper valve flap 6 and the lower valve flap 3 are combined, guide convex strips 20 are formed on the front and rear sides of the valve flap assembly, and a T-shaped groove 21 is formed on the right side of the valve flap assembly. The end surface of the body structure 17 of the upper valve flap 6 and the body structure 17 of the lower valve flap 3 that are opposite to each other is a second oblique sealing surface that gradually converges from right to left.

[0038] A cushion block 5 is provided in the cylindrical groove 18 of the upper valve disc 6, a universal top 4 is provided in the cylindrical groove 18 of the lower valve disc 3, a spherical groove is provided on the lower end surface of the cushion block 5, the upper end of the universal top 4 is a convex spherical column head structure, and the convex spherical column head structure is universally tangentially matched with the spherical groove, and a gap is provided between the upper valve disc 6 and the lower valve disc 3, and the upper ends of a plurality of compression springs 16 are respectively against the bottom surfaces of a plurality of spring grooves 19 of the upper valve disc 6 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the lower ends of a plurality of compression springs 16 are respectively against the bottom surfaces of a plurality of spring grooves 19 of the lower valve disc 3 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the elastic force of the plurality of compression springs 16 is set according to the gravity of the upper valve disc 6, so that when the upper end surface of the lower valve disc 3 is horizontal, the lower end surface of the upper valve disc 6 is also kept horizontal;

[0039] Guide grooves 22 are respectively provided on the front side wall and the rear side wall of the inner cavity of the valve body 1, and the guide grooves 22 are arranged on the left and right. The two guide ridges 20 are slidably matched with the two guide grooves 22 in a one-to-one correspondence. A T-shaped connecting structure is provided at the left end of the valve stem 8, and the left end of the valve stem 8 passes through the valve cover 7. The T-shaped connecting structure of the valve stem 8 is adaptively connected with the T-shaped groove 21. When the valve stem 8 drives the valve disc assembly to slide left and right, the two second oblique sealing surfaces correspond to the two first oblique sealing surfaces in a one-to-one correspondence to seal or separate.

[0040] The existing wedge-type double-disc gate valve is recommended to be installed on a horizontal pipeline. If it is installed on a vertical pipeline, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, there is a universal top and a gasket between the two valve discs. The two valve discs can rotate freely around the spherical surface of the universal top to compensate for the error caused by the sealing surface angle processing process and ensure the sealing performance. The guide ribs of the lower valve disc cooperate with the guide grooves of the valve body, and the lower valve disc is in the horizontal direction. Since the upper valve disc is a wedge-type structure, the center of gravity of the entire upper valve disc is located on the right side of the center line, which causes the upper valve disc to rotate clockwise after the valve is opened. The left side of the sealing surface of the upper valve disc is lifted up, and the right side of the sealing surface falls down. When closing the valve again, the left side of the sealing surface of the upper valve disc can easily hit the valve seat, causing damage to the sealing surface and failure of the valve seal.

[0041] The present invention adds a plurality of compression springs 16 between the upper valve flap 6 and the lower valve flap 3. Since the elastic force of the two groups of compression springs 16 acts on the center of gravity of the upper valve flap 6, and the elastic force of the compression springs 16 is adjusted to make the lower end surface of the upper valve flap 6 horizontal, after the valve flap assembly is installed in the valve body 1, the stress state of the upper valve flap 6 is not changed in the valve open state, and the lower end surface can still be kept horizontal, that is, it can ensure that the second oblique sealing surface of the upper valve flap 6 is consistent with the inclination state of the first oblique sealing surface of the valve seat 2 in the medium inlet 23. When the valve stem 8 drives the valve flap assembly to slide left and right along the guide groove 22, the valve flap assembly can close or open the medium flow channel to avoid the upper valve flap 6 from rotating and causing damage to the sealing oblique surface of the valve seat 2.

[0042] It also includes an adjustable gasket 14, and there are several adjustable gaskets 14. The thicknesses of the several adjustable gaskets 14 vary sequentially. Any adjustable gasket 14 is set in the spring groove 19 of the lower valve disc 3. The lower end of the compression spring 16 is abutted against the bottom surface of the corresponding spring groove 19 on the lower valve disc 3 through the adjustable gasket 14. By replacing adjustable gaskets 14 of different thicknesses, different compression springs 16 can be adapted.

[0043] The valve cover 7 is connected to the valve body 1 through a four-ring and is sealed by a sealing ring.

[0044] The valve cover 7 and the valve stem 8 are slidably sealed via a packing assembly.

[0045] The number of each group of spring slots 19 is one or two.

[0046] A bracket is provided at the right end of the valve body 1, and a bearing seat 10 is provided at the right end of the bracket. A lifting screw sleeve 9 is rotatably arranged in the bearing seat 10 through a thrust bearing. An actuator 11 is connected to the right end of the bearing seat 10, and an output end of the actuator 11 is connected to the right end of the lifting screw sleeve 9. The inner circumference of the lifting screw sleeve 9 is threadedly matched with the outer circumference of the valve stem 8. One end of the guide rod 12 is sleeved on the valve stem 8. A guide long hole is provided on the bracket, and the guide long hole is arranged along the axial direction of the valve stem 8. The other end of the guide rod 12 is slidably matched with the guide long hole.

[0047] Embodiment 2: Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a wedge-type double-disc gate valve assembly method is implemented based on a wedge-type double-disc gate valve applicable to both horizontal and vertical pipelines as described in Example 1, and is characterized in that it includes the following steps:

[0048] Step 1: Make a swash plate tooling 15, the lower end surface of the swash plate tooling 15 is a horizontal surface, and the upper end surface of the swash plate tooling 15 has the same inclination as the first oblique sealing surface of the valve seat 2 at the lower end;

[0049] Step 2: Place the lower valve disc 3 on the swash plate fixture 15 so that the upper end surface of the lower valve disc 3 is in a horizontal state;

[0050] Step 3, install the universal top 4 into the cylindrical groove 18 of the lower valve disc 3, install the cushion block 5 into the cylindrical groove 18 of the upper valve disc 6, make the convex spherical column head structure of the universal top 4 tangent to the spherical groove of the cushion block 5, match the two ends of a plurality of compression springs 16 with the two groups of spring grooves 19 of the lower valve disc 3 and the two groups of spring grooves 19 of the upper valve disc 6 respectively, detect the horizontality of the lower end surface of the upper valve disc 6, and make the lower end surface of the upper valve disc 6 be in a horizontal state by adding or reducing the adjustable gasket 14 between the spring groove 19 of the lower valve disc 3 and the compression spring 16;

[0051] Step 4: Clamp the connection flange 13 of the upper valve flap 6 and the lower valve flap 3 by a G-shaped clamp, so that the upper valve flap 6 and the lower valve flap 3 maintain a relative position and angle;

[0052] Step 5: Insert the guide ridges 20 formed on the front and rear sides of the valve disc assembly into the two guide grooves 22 of the valve body 1 one by one, remove the G-clamp, connect the T-shaped connection structure of the valve stem 8 with the T-shaped groove 21, and assemble the other components of the gate valve.

[0053] The above embodiments are merely exemplary descriptions of the present invention and do not limit its protection scope. Those skilled in the art may also make partial changes thereto, which are within the protection scope of the present invention as long as they do not exceed the spirit of the present invention.
