Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of valves, and particularly relates to a wedge gate valve with a guiding silt cleaning function. Background Art

[0002] The opening and closing member of a gate valve is a gate plate. The movement direction of the gate plate is perpendicular to the fluid direction. The gate valve can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be used for regulation and throttling. The gate plate has two sealing surfaces. In the most common mode, the two sealing surfaces of the gate valve form a wedge shape, and the wedge angle varies with the valve parameters, usually being 5°. When the medium temperature is not high, it is 2°52'. The gate plate of the wedge gate valve can be made into an integral body, called a rigid gate plate; it can also be made into a gate plate that can produce a small amount of deformation to improve its manufacturability and make up for the deviation generated in the processing of the sealing surface angle. This kind of gate plate is called an elastic gate plate. When the gate valve is closed, the sealing surface can rely only on the medium pressure for sealing, that is, relying on the medium pressure to press the sealing surface of the gate plate against the valve seat on the other side to ensure the sealing of the sealing surface. This is self-sealing. Most gate valves use forced sealing, that is, when the valve is closed, external force is required to forcibly press the gate plate against the valve seat to ensure the sealing performance of the sealing surface. The gate plate of the gate valve moves linearly together with the valve stem, which is called a rising stem gate valve, also called a rising stem outside screw and yoke valve. Usually, there is a trapezoidal thread on the rising stem. Through the nut at the top of the valve and the guide groove on the valve body, the rotational motion is changed into a linear motion, that is, the operating torque is changed into an operating thrust.

[0003] In addition, the Chinese Patent Publication No. is CN114352758B, and the invention creation name is a wedge-tight gate valve with reliable sealing. The present invention includes a valve body. Inlet and outlet channels are provided at both ends of the valve body. Valve seats are arranged at the inlet and outlet channels. The upper end of the valve body is connected to the lower end of the valve cover. The upper end of the valve cover is provided with a power supply component for the up and down movement of the gate plate. The gate plate is located in the valve body and cooperates with the valve seat for sealing. A driving component for the up and down movement of the gate plate is arranged in the valve cover. The gate plate is connected to the power supply component for the up and down movement through the driving component for the up and down movement. In the existing wedge gate valve, when the valve plate and the valve seat are closed, particulate matters (such as sediment and crystals) are likely to accumulate in the wedge-shaped gap, resulting in the valve being unable to be fully closed or the sealing surface being scratched. The valve seat area has no self-cleaning function, and it needs to be disassembled and maintained frequently, affecting the continuity of the system.

[0004] In view of this, it is very necessary to invent a wedge gate valve with a guiding silt cleaning function. Summary of the Invention
