Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to a gate valve with lubrication function. Background Technology

[0002] The gate valve's opening and closing element is a gate. The gate's movement direction is perpendicular to the fluid direction. Gate valves can only be fully open or fully closed; they cannot be used for regulation or throttling. The gate has two sealing surfaces. In the most common type of gate valve, the two sealing surfaces form a wedge shape, and the wedge angle varies depending on the valve parameters.

[0003] Existing gate valves use a threaded connection between the valve stem and a ferrule for threaded transmission, which in turn moves the gate up and down to open and close the passage. As the valve stem rubs against the valve cover during use, the surface of the valve stem wears down, causing the valve stem to lose its function and have a short service life. After wear, the valve stem needs to be replaced, which is costly.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a gate valve with lubrication function to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] 1. The present invention provides a gate valve with lubrication function. This invention involves installing sealing rings at both ends of the valve core gate. When the valve core gate slides downwards, the two first inclined surfaces of the valve core gate approach and fit against the second inclined surfaces of the two sealing rings. When the valve core gate slides to its lowest point, the first and second inclined surfaces are completely pressed together, thus completely sealing the water-stopping groove of the valve body and closing the gate valve. To open the valve, the handwheel is turned to rotate the rotating column. The internal thread of the rotating column engages with the threaded part of the valve stem, causing the valve stem to slide upwards. The valve core gate slides upwards along the water-stopping groove and the first sliding hole, causing the first inclined surface of the valve core gate to disengage from the second inclined surfaces of the two sealing rings. At this time, the first water passage hole connects with the water-stopping groove, and the gate valve opens. The position of the valve stem and the valve core gate is adjusted by rotating the handwheel to open the gate valve and regulate the flow rate, making adjustment convenient and quick.

[0018] 2. The gate valve with lubrication function described in this invention provides sufficient lubrication to the outer circumferential surface of the valve stem during the up-and-down sliding process. During the use of the gate valve, the valve stem slides relative to the contact points of the first oil-immersed packing, the second oil-immersed packing, the first graphite, and the second graphite. Lubricating oil flows into the oil seepage groove through the first oil outlet and the second oil outlet. The lubricating oil slowly accumulates in the arc-shaped annular groove until it is full. The bottom of the first oil-immersed packing contacts the lubricating oil, allowing the lubricating oil to penetrate sequentially into the first oil-immersed packing, the second oil-immersed packing, the first graphite, and the second graphite. The first oil-immersed packing, the second oil-immersed packing, the first graphite, and the second graphite provide sufficient lubrication to the outer circumferential surface of the valve stem, reducing wear on the valve stem surface and extending the service life of the valve stem.

[0049] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, a rotating base 71 is provided at the lower end of the rotating column 7. The rotating base 71 is engaged in the second slot 202. A second gasket 17 is provided at the connection between the rotating base 71 and the second slot 202. The second gasket 17 is sleeved on the rotating column 7. A second connecting hole 701 is provided in the middle of the rotating column 7. An internal thread 703 is provided at the upper end of the second connecting hole 701. The threaded part 41 of the valve stem 4 is threadedly connected to the internal thread 703 for transmission. The rotating column 7 has a stepped shaft structure. An external thread 72 is provided on the outer edge of the upper end of the rotating column 7. Six stop holes are provided on the outer edge of the stepped part of the rotating column 7. The moving groove 73 has its top located below the external thread 72 and its bottom located above the first through hole 201 of the upper cover 2. A handwheel 10 is fitted on the rotating column 7. A regular hexagonal hole is opened in the middle of the handwheel 10. The regular hexagonal hole cooperates with the six stopping grooves 73 to limit the movement. A second nut 15 is threaded onto the external thread 72. A first washer 16 is provided between the top of the handwheel 10 and the bottom of the second nut 15. The first washer 16 is fitted onto the external thread 72, and the handwheel 10 is locked onto the rotating column 7 by the second nut 15.

[0050] Specifically, by installing sealing rings 9 at both ends of the valve core gate plate 8, when the valve core gate plate 8 slides downward, the two first inclined surfaces 82 of the valve core gate plate 8 approach and fit against the second inclined surfaces 94 of the two sealing rings 9. When the valve core gate plate 8 slides to the lowest point, the first inclined surfaces 82 and the second inclined surfaces 94 are completely fitted and pressed together, thereby completely sealing the water-stopping groove 106 of the valve body 1, thus closing the gate valve. When it is necessary to open the valve, the handwheel 10 is turned to drive the rotating column 7 to rotate. The internal thread 703 of the rotating column 7 engages with the threaded part 41 of the valve stem 4 for threaded transmission. This causes the valve stem 4 to slide upwards, and the valve core gate 8 slides upwards along the water-cutting groove 106 and the first sliding hole 1031, causing the first inclined surface 82 of the valve core gate 8 to disengage from the second inclined surface 94 of the two sealing rings 9. At this time, the first water passage hole 104 is connected to the water-cutting groove 106, and the gate valve opens. The gate valve is opened and the flow rate is adjusted by turning the handwheel 10 to adjust the position of the valve stem 4 and the valve core gate 8. The adjustment is convenient and quick. During the up and down sliding of the valve stem 4, the lubrication mechanism 6 fully lubricates the outer circumference of the valve stem 4. During installation, the oil reservoir of the copper sleeve 61 is first filled with oil. Sufficient lubricating oil is injected into groove 613. The first oil-immersed packing 63, the second oil-immersed packing 64, the first graphite 65, and the second graphite 66 are fixed into the mounting groove 611. The oil seal 62 is fixed to the top of the copper sleeve 61, so that the second protrusion 622 is inserted into the oil reservoir 613 to seal it. The sealing ring 67 in the fourth groove 623 is firmly pressed against the top of the second graphite 66. During the use of the gate valve, the valve stem 4 slides relative to the contact points of the first oil-immersed packing 63, the second oil-immersed packing 64, the first graphite 65, and the second graphite 66, and the lubricating oil flows through... The first oil outlet 614 and the second oil outlet 615 flow into the oil seepage groove 616. The lubricating oil slowly accumulates in the arc-shaped annular groove 617 until the oil seepage groove 616 is full. The bottom of the first oil-immersed packing 63 contacts the lubricating oil, allowing the lubricating oil to penetrate sequentially into the first oil-immersed packing 63, the second oil-immersed packing 64, the first graphite 65, and the second graphite 66. The first oil-immersed packing 63, the second oil-immersed packing 64, the first graphite 65, and the second graphite 66 provide sufficient lubrication to the outer circumferential surface of the valve stem 4, reducing wear on the surface of the valve stem 4 and extending the service life of the valve stem 4.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
