TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of butterfly valves, in particular to a butterfly valve. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing butterfly valve has significant technical defects in sealing performance and service life, and the core problem is concentrated in the damage of the sealing surface caused by the relative movement of the valve seat and the valve plate and the subsequent water leakage hidden danger.

[0003] The valve plate and the valve seat of the traditional butterfly valve will inevitably have direct friction during opening and closing. There is still local point friction when the valve plate initially contacts the valve seat. Under high pressure working conditions, the friction coefficient between the valve seat and the valve plate is further increased after the valve seat is extruded by the medium pressure. After long-term use, physical damage such as scratches and depressions may occur on the sealing surface, which may reduce the fitting precision of the sealing surface and form a gap.

[0004] The existing butterfly valve lacks a prevention and mitigation mechanism for sealing surface wear. The sealing structure of most butterfly valves is fixedly designed, and the relative position of the valve plate and the valve seat cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the wear condition. Once a small gap appears on the sealing surface, the medium pressure will exacerbate the gap expansion, which may quickly cause water leakage. At the same time, the existing butterfly valve does not integrate an effective sealing state monitoring function. The early wear of the sealing surface is difficult to be detected in time, and maintenance is often required after obvious water leakage occurs. The maintenance process requires shutdown and disassembly, which not only increases the maintenance cost, but also interrupts the normal operation of the fluid conveying system.

[0005] Although some butterfly valves use elastic sealing elements to compensate for small gaps, the elastic elements may be aged and deformed due to long-term friction, medium corrosion or temperature changes, and the compensation capacity may gradually decrease, which cannot maintain the sealing effect for a long time. In addition, the assembly gap between the elastic sealing element and the valve plate and the valve seat is difficult to control accurately, and the assembly error may further exacerbate the friction loss during opening and closing, shorten the service life of the sealing assembly, and cause frequent sealing failure of the butterfly valve, which seriously affects the reliability of the fluid conveying system.

[0028] Step 1: Real-time collection of the strain gauge transmission butterfly plate and valve seat sealing surface abutment pressure signal, synchronous collection of the encoder feedback auxiliary shaft initial angle data, construction of the sealing state real-time data set, and comparison of the real-time data set with the preset normal sealing parameters;

[0029] Step 2: The real-time data set shows that the pressure signal is continuously lower than the lower limit of the standard threshold for 10-15 seconds, the processor determines that there is water leakage in the sealing surface, and immediately triggers the dynamic compensation mechanism; the initial compensation amount is calculated based on the difference between the pressure signal and the standard threshold, a control instruction is sent to the driving motor, the worm, the auxiliary turbine and the second bevel gear pair are sequentially driven by the driving motor, and the butterfly plate is further pushed to the valve seat direction for sealing;

[0030] Step 3: In the compensation process, the processor updates the sealing state data set at a frequency of 100 ms / time, and real-time monitors the pressure signal change; when the pressure signal rises to the standard threshold interval within 3 seconds, the processor immediately sends a stop instruction to the driving motor to stop the compensation action, and automatically records the angle, stroke and pressure recovery parameters of this compensation.

[0031] The above-described solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0032] This invention significantly reduces friction loss on the sealing surface during the closing process, achieving frictionless, high-seal closure. It employs a two-stage process of "rotational alignment – ​​parallel pressure application" constructed through precise control of the worm gear rotation angle. In the first stage, the worm gear drives the incomplete turbine to rotate 90°, influencing the steering cylinder, steering sleeve, and connecting rod, causing the butterfly plate to rotate around the transmission axis to a fully parallel alignment with the valve seat, avoiding direct friction between the sealing surfaces during rotation in traditional butterfly valves. In the second stage, the worm gear synchronously drives the auxiliary turbine, which in turn drives the transmission shaft and the cone to rotate and move axially. The cone pushes the connecting rod through an inclined plane, allowing the butterfly plate to advance axially towards the valve seat while maintaining a parallel posture until the sealing surfaces are in contact, further eliminating friction and improving sealing performance.

[0033] This invention effectively prevents the sealing surface from separating and scratching during the opening process, protecting the integrity of the sealing surface from both opening and closing. Through the "reverse step-by-step disengagement" design: when opening, the worm gear first drives the auxiliary turbine, which drives the transmission shaft and the cone to rise axially. The cone releases the thrust on the connecting rod, allowing the butterfly plate to separate axially from the valve seat. The encoder detects the rotation angle of the auxiliary shaft in real time. After determining that a safe clearance has been formed, the solenoid valve attracts the permanent magnet, which drives the stop chuck to disengage from the stop groove. The reset torsion spring drives the incomplete turbine to contact the worm gear, thereby driving the butterfly plate to rotate 90° to achieve opening. There is no scratching damage to the sealing surface throughout the entire process.

[0034] This invention proactively prevents seal failure, achieving automated seal compensation without downtime or manual intervention, significantly extending seal life and maintenance cycles. Through a "real-time pressure monitoring - dynamic compensation" mechanism: an elastic spring in the detection component provides preload, ensuring the elastic contact remains in contact with the butterfly plate sealing surface; strain gauges capture minute pressure attenuations in real time to identify potential failure risks; when the processor detects an abnormal pressure, it activates the drive motor to precisely rotate the worm gear, which, through the linkage of the auxiliary worm, drive shaft, cone, and connecting rod, drives the butterfly plate further axially towards the valve seat. By adjusting the minute stroke to compensate for wear gaps in the sealing surface, effective contact pressure is restored, thus achieving a seal and preventing leakage. Attached Figure Description

[0057] The driving piece 8 further comprises a second bevel gear pair 809 with an input end bevel gear fixed to the auxiliary shaft 802 and an output end bevel gear fixed to one end of the linkage rod 808, a third bevel gear pair 8010 with an input end bevel gear fixed to the other end of the linkage rod 808 and an output end bevel gear fixed to the transmission rod 605, a driving rod 8011 fixed to the worm 801, and a driving handle 8012 fixed to the driving rod 8011.

[0058] Specifically, the opening and closing of the butterfly plate 2 in the valve body 1 has a manual and automatic double control mode: the staff can directly control the opening and closing by manually rotating the driving handle 8012, or can control the driving motor 804 to drive to realize the opening and closing by issuing instructions through the processor 11.

[0059] When the butterfly plate 2 and the valve seat 4 leak, the processor 11 will trigger an alarm, which can be handled in two ways: one is manual intervention, manually rotating the driving handle 8012 to adjust until the alarm is removed; the other is automatic compensation, which is completed by the processor 11 controlling the driving motor 804 to adjust and compensate the leakage.

[0060] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the detection member 9 comprises: a detection groove 901 formed on the valve seat 4; a sliding plug plate 902 slidingly arranged in the detection groove 901; an elastic contact 903 fixed on the sliding plug plate 902; an annular plate 904 slidingly arranged in the detection groove 901; a strain gauge 905 fixed between the sliding plug plate 902 and the annular plate 904; an elastic spring 906 having one end fixed in the detection groove 901 and the other end fixed on the annular plate 904; and an encoder 907 fixed on the bottom of the function box 7 and sleeved on the auxiliary driving shaft 802.

[0061] Specifically, the encoder 907 is used to detect the number of turns and the angle of rotation of the auxiliary driving shaft 802, and the strain gauge 905 is used to detect the force applied by the sealing surface of the butterfly plate 2 on the elastic contact 903.

[0062] When the flange 10 of the butterfly valve is connected to a transportation pipeline, the butterfly valve has two driving modes, i.e., manual driving and automatic driving. In the manual driving mode, the driving hand wheel 8012 is directly rotated to drive the worm 801. In the automatic driving mode, the driving motor 804 is started to drive the first bevel gear pair 806 to rotate, and the output end bevel gear of the first bevel gear pair 806 drives the worm 801 to rotate. By controlling the forward rotation or reverse rotation of the worm 801, the opening and closing actions of the butterfly valve can be realized.

[0063] When the butterfly valve enters the closed state, the worm 801 rotates forward, the worm 801 meshes with the incomplete turbine 604 and drives the incomplete turbine 604 to rotate by 90°, and after rotating by 90°, the incomplete turbine 604 is disengaged from the meshing contact with the worm 801. During the rotation of the incomplete turbine 604, the return torsional spring 6023 is twisted to tighten the return torsional spring 6023, and the prismatic column 6021 and the spring ring seat 6022 move upward along the prismatic groove 6020 to adapt to the tightening state of the return torsional spring 6023. During the rotation of the incomplete turbine 604 by 90°, the stopper clamp 6027 slides along the outer surface of the incomplete turbine 604, and when the incomplete turbine 604 rotates to the 90° position, the stopper spring 6029 elastically pushes the stopper clamp 6027 to extend into the stopper groove 6026, thereby limiting the rotation of the incomplete turbine 604. When the incomplete turbine 604 rotates by 90°, the rotation of the steering cylinder 601 is simultaneously driven, the steering cylinder 601 drives the three steering sleeves 602 to swing by 90°, each steering sleeve 602 drives the corresponding connecting rod 603 to swing, and the three connecting rods 603 jointly drive the butterfly plate 2 to swing to the state of being parallel to the valve seat 4.

[0064] The worm 801 rotates in the positive direction, and drives the auxiliary turbine 803 to rotate, the auxiliary turbine 803 drives the auxiliary shaft 802 to rotate, the auxiliary shaft 802 drives the second bevel gear pair 809 to rotate, the output end bevel gear of the second bevel gear pair 809 drives the linkage rod 808 to rotate, the linkage rod 808 drives the third bevel gear pair 8010 to rotate, the output end bevel gear of the third bevel gear pair 8010 drives the transmission rod 605 to rotate, and the transmission rod 605 drives the transmission shaft 606 to rotate; when the transmission shaft 606 rotates, the external thread rod 608 moves downward along the internal thread ring 607 in a spiral manner, and the octagonal vertical plate 6019 above the transmission shaft 606 slides downward along the octagonal vertical groove 6018 in the transmission rod 605 to cooperate with the spiral transmission of the external thread rod 608 and the internal thread ring 607; the transmission shaft 606 drives the three conical tables 609 to rotate synchronously and move downward, the conical table 609 pushes the connecting rod 603 outward through the inclined surface to the outside of the rotating sleeve 602, the limiting plate 6012 below the transmission shaft 606 slides along the octagonal sliding groove 6014, the octagonal sliding plate 6015 compresses the return spring 6017, and finally the three connecting rods 603 jointly drive the butterfly plate 2 to move to the valve seat 4 direction to realize closing.

[0065] In the process of moving the butterfly plate 2 to the valve seat 4 to close, the sealing surface of the butterfly plate 2 contacts the elastic contact 903 and pushes the sliding plug plate 902 to slide along the detection groove 901; the force received by the elastic contact 903 is transmitted to the sliding plug plate 902, the sliding plug plate 902 applies the force to the strain sheet 905, the strain sheet 905 transmits the force to the annular plate 904, and the annular plate 904 compresses the elastic spring 906; until the sealing surface of the butterfly plate 2 fully contacts the sealing surface of the valve seat 4, an effective seal is formed.

[0066] When the butterfly valve enters the open state, the worm 801 reverses, the worm 801 first drives the auxiliary turbine 803 to rotate, at this time the incomplete turbine 604 does not mesh with the worm 801; the auxiliary turbine 803 drives the auxiliary shaft 802 to rotate, the auxiliary shaft 802 drives the second bevel gear pair 809 to rotate, the second bevel gear pair 809 drives the linkage rod 808 to rotate, the linkage rod 808 drives the third bevel gear pair 8010 to rotate, the third bevel gear pair 8010 drives the transmission rod 605 to rotate, the transmission rod 605 drives the transmission shaft 606 and the external thread rod 608 to rotate; the external thread rod 608 is screwed with the internal thread ring 607, drives the transmission shaft 606 and the three tapered tables 609 to move upward spirally; the tapered table 609 no longer abuts against the connecting rod 603, the reset spring 6017 is reset and drives the octagonal slide plate 6015 and the connecting rod 603 to shrink into the inside of the steering sleeve 602, the connecting rod 603 drives the butterfly plate 2 to separate from the valve seat 4, so that the butterfly plate 2 and the valve seat 4 keep a spacing and are parallel; the encoder 907 is fixedly sleeved on the auxiliary shaft 802, the rotation angle of the auxiliary shaft 802 is detected through the encoder 907, so that the remaining rotation angle of the worm 801 is judged; when the remaining rotation angle is 90°, the electromagnetic valve 6028 is started, the electromagnetic valve 6028 generates a magnetic force to attract the permanent magnet 6030, the permanent magnet 6030 drives the stop clamp 6027 to retract into the stop cylinder 6025, the stop clamp 6027 separates from the stop groove 6026, and the rotation of the incomplete turbine 604 is no longer limited; the incomplete turbine 604 is twisted and reset under the reset action of the reset torsional spring 6023, the teeth are repositioned on the worm 801, the worm 801 reverses to drive the incomplete turbine 604 to rotate 90°, and part of the teeth of the incomplete turbine 604 remains on the worm 801 after rotation, so as to wait for the next start; when the incomplete turbine 604 rotates 90°, the steering cylinder 601, the steering sleeve 602, the connecting rod 603 and the butterfly plate 2 are synchronously rotated 90°, and the butterfly valve reaches the open state.

[0067] The butterfly valve controls the rotation angle of the worm 801 accurately, constructs a double-stage accurate control process of "rotation alignment-parallel pressure application", and realizes step-by-step regulation of the closed state of the butterfly plate 2: in the first stage, the butterfly plate 2 rotates 90° around the transmission axis first, is accurately adjusted to an alignment state of being completely parallel to the valve seat 4, and avoids frictional wear of the sealing surface in the rotation process of the traditional butterfly valve; in the second stage, on the basis of keeping the parallel posture, the butterfly plate 2 is pushed forward in the axial direction, gradually approaches the valve seat 4, and until the sealing surface is completely attached, a closed effect of no friction and high sealing is formed.

[0068] The opening process of the butterfly valve adopts a "reverse step-by-step separation" design: the butterfly plate 2 and the valve seat 4 are first stably separated by keeping a parallel posture through axial driving, and the scraping damage of the sealing surface when separated is eliminated; after a safe gap is formed between the butterfly plate 2 and the valve seat 4, the butterfly plate 2 is driven to rotate 90°, and the flow channel is completely opened, thereby protecting the sealing surface from damage.

[0069] The sealing failure problem that is prone to occur in the long-term use of the butterfly valve is broken through the traditional passive maintenance mode, and the active protection mechanism of "real-time pressure monitoring-dynamic compensation" is integrated: when the sealing surface of the butterfly plate 2 and the valve seat 4 is internally leaked due to wear and deformation, and the contact pressure of the two is reduced or the sealing gap is increased, the elastic contact 903 in the detection piece 9 is always in abutment with the sealing surface of the butterfly plate 2 under the pre-tightening force of the elastic spring 906, and at this time the strain gauge 905 can capture the slight attenuation change of the abutment pressure in real time, and identify the sealing failure risk in the first time.

[0070] When the pressure anomaly is detected, the system immediately triggers the adaptive dynamic compensation sealing mechanism: the driving motor 804 is started, the worm 801 is driven to rotate accurately by the driving motor 804, and then the butterfly plate 2 is driven to further advance along the axial direction to the valve seat 4, through the accurate control of the small stroke, the gap caused by the wear of the sealing surface is compensated, the effective contact pressure of the butterfly plate 2 and the valve seat 4 is restored, the automatic sealing compensation without shutdown and manual intervention is realized, and the sealing life and maintenance cycle of the butterfly valve are significantly prolonged.

[0071] As shown in Figure 10 , a butterfly valve, a processor 11 is used to perform sealing water leakage detection and dynamic compensation, specifically including the following steps:

[0072] Step 1: Real-time acquisition of the abutment pressure signal of the sealing surface of the butterfly plate 2 and the valve seat 4 transmitted by the strain gauge 905, synchronous acquisition of the initial angle data of the auxiliary drive shaft 802 fed back by the encoder 907, construction of the sealing state real-time data set, and comparison of the real-time data set with the preset normal sealing parameters;

[0073] Step 2: The real-time data set shows that the pressure signal is below the lower limit of the standard threshold for 10-15 seconds, the processor 11 determines that there is water leakage in the sealing surface, and immediately triggers the dynamic compensation mechanism; based on the difference between the pressure signal and the standard threshold, the initial compensation amount is calculated, the control instruction is sent to the driving motor 804, the worm 801, the auxiliary drive turbine 803 and the second bevel gear pair 809 are driven in turn by the driving motor 804, and the butterfly plate 2 is further pushed to the valve seat 4 direction to seal;

[0074] Step 3: During the compensation process, the processor 11 updates the sealing state data set at a frequency of 100ms / time, and monitors the change of the pressure signal in real time; when the pressure signal rises to the standard threshold interval within 3 seconds, the processor 11 immediately sends a stop instruction to the driving motor 804 to stop the compensation action, and automatically records the angle, stroke and pressure recovery parameters of this compensation.

[0075] In the case of Example 1, when the butterfly valve is used to transport clean water with a pressure of 1.0 MPa, the processor 11 continuously executes the sealing water leakage detection and dynamic compensation process: the processor 11 collects the sealing surface abutment pressure signal of the butterfly plate 2 and the valve seat 4 transmitted by the strain gauge 905 in the detection member 9 in real time (sampling frequency 50 Hz), synchronously acquires the initial angle data of the auxiliary driving shaft 802 fed back by the encoder 907 (initial angle 18.0°), thereby constructing a real-time data set of the sealing state, and comparing it with the preset normal sealing parameters (standard pressure threshold interval 0.8-1.2 MPa, auxiliary driving shaft angle deviation allowable range ±0.5°).

[0076] When the real-time data set shows that the sealing surface abutment pressure signal continuously decays from 0.95 MPa to 0.72 MPa, and this low pressure state is continuously maintained for 12 seconds (within the 10-15 second judgment interval), the processor 11 immediately determines that the sealing surface leaks due to slight wear of the sealing rubber strip 202, and triggers the dynamic compensation mechanism; based on the difference (0.08 MPa) between the pressure signal and the lower limit of the standard threshold (0.8 MPa), and in combination with the preset “pressure-stroke” conversion coefficient (0.65 MPa / mm, consistent with the nonlinear relationship between the pressure and compression amount of the rubber sealing member), the processor 11 calculates that the initial compensation amount of the pushing stroke of the butterfly plate 2 is 0.12 mm, and then sends a pulse control instruction to the driving motor 804 (rated output speed 150 r / min, reduction ratio 20:1) of the driving member 8; after the driving motor 804 is started, the power is transmitted to the worm 801 (lead 5 mm) through the first bevel gear pair 806, the worm 801 engages to drive the auxiliary driving turbine 803 (number of teeth 40) and the auxiliary driving shaft 802 to rotate, and then sequentially drives the second bevel gear pair 809, the linkage rod 808, and the third bevel gear pair 8010 (transmission ratio 1:1) to drive the transmission rod 605 and the transmission shaft 606 to rotate synchronously; the outer threaded rod 608 on the transmission shaft 606 cooperates with the inner threaded ring 607 (thread pitch 2 mm) to convert the rotary motion into axial movement, and finally pushes the connecting rod 603 through the three tapered surfaces 609 (inclination angle 15°) to make the butterfly plate 2 accurately push towards the valve seat 4 by 0.12 mm to enhance the sealing.

[0077] During the compensation process, the processor 11 updates the sealing state data set at a frequency of 100 ms / time, and monitors the pressure signal changes in real time: at 0.8 seconds after the compensation starts, the pressure rises to 0.78 MPa; at 1.8 seconds, the pressure reaches 0.8 MPa (lower limit of the standard threshold); at 2.5 seconds, the pressure stabilizes at 0.85 MPa (within the standard threshold interval), at this time, only 2.5 seconds (less than the 3-second determination threshold) from the start of compensation, the processor 11 immediately sends a stop command to the drive motor 804, terminates the compensation action, and automatically records the compensation parameters this time - the final angle of the auxiliary shaft 802 is 18.9° (cumulative rotation 0.9°, matched with transmission: worm rotation 36°→auxiliary shaft rotation 36°÷(360° / 40)=0.9°, corresponding to transmission shaft rotation 0.1 turn→propulsion amount 0.1×2 mm=0.2 mm, actual propulsion after conversion by conical surface 0.12 mm, error ±0.01 mm), pressure recovery curve (average rate of rising from 0.72 MPa to 0.85 MPa 0.052 MPa / s), completing a sealing compensation closed-loop control, the entire process does not require shutdown, and the medium conveying is not affected.

[0078] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, which should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present application.
