TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a butterfly valve capable of multi-angle operation. BACKGROUND
[0002] In a fluid control system, the main function of a butterfly valve is to open and close the medium passage by controlling the rotation of the valve plate, thereby adjusting the flow and pressure of the fluid.
[0003] However, the existing butterfly valve technology still has some shortcomings in practical application. When the traditional butterfly valve is closed, the sealing between the valve plate and the inner wall of the valve seat mainly relies on the close fit between the valve plate and the inner wall of the valve seat.
[0004] Although this sealing method can meet the basic sealing requirements to some extent, in actual use, there is a large frictional force between the valve plate and the inner wall of the valve seat. This friction not only causes wear of the valve plate, reducing the service life of the valve plate, but also can affect the sealing performance of the valve.
[0005] In addition, due to the limited contact area between the valve plate and the inner wall of the valve seat, the sealing effect is often not ideal. In some application scenarios with high sealing performance requirements, the traditional butterfly valve may not meet the strict sealing requirements.
[0006] Therefore, the present application aims to provide a butterfly valve capable of multi-angle operation, which effectively reduces the friction between the valve plate and the inner wall of the valve seat, improves the sealing performance and service life of the valve through innovative structural design and optimized sealing mechanism. SUMMARY
[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a butterfly valve capable of multi-angle operation, which solves the problem of large wear and limited sealing surface of the existing valve in use in the background art.

[0010] Further comprising:

Since the arc-shaped stoppers are of an integral structure with the valve body, the structural stability of the whole is enhanced, and it is ensured that the sealing effect will not be affected by part loosening during long-term use. Meanwhile, the staggered distribution of the two arc-shaped stoppers provides more stable support and limiting effect for the valve plate body, so that the valve plate body can be more accurately attached to the arc-shaped stoppers during rotation, further improving the sealing performance and reliability of the valve and effectively preventing medium leakage.
[0017] Preferably, the valve plate assembly comprises two valve plate bodies, a fixed block is installed on the surface of each valve plate body through a bolt, a valve rod groove is opened on the surface of the valve plate body, an elastic block is installed inside the valve rod groove, the elastic block is an arc-shaped elastic metal, and the top of the fixed block is of a slope structure; when the valve is closed, the two elastic pieces will be extruded, and when the valve plate body is opened, the two valve plate bodies can be reset with the help of the elasticity of the elastic pieces.

This design enables the rotating block to be closely attached to the slope on the top of the fixed block, so that when the valve stem body rotates, the slope interacts to push the valve plate body to rotate and position accurately, realizing the opening and closing operation of the valve. At the same time, the limiting block and the guide block provided on the top of the rotating block cooperate with the guide groove and the limiting groove on the bottom of the valve stem body, further ensuring the stability and accuracy of the valve stem assembly during movement, preventing the valve stem from deviating or being stuck during rotation, and improving the operation reliability of the valve.

[0023] The application provides a butterfly valve capable of multi-angle operation.
[0024] When the butterfly valve is closed, the electric actuator drives the valve rod body to rotate, the valve rod body interacts with the inclined surface of the guide block through the inclined surface of the bottom guide groove, the guide block is rotated, and then the two misaligned valve plate bodies are driven to rotate, so that the valve plate edges are tightly attached to the arc-shaped stoppers in the valve seat, and primary sealing is realized. Since the gap is designed between the two ends of the valve plate and the inner wall of the valve seat, the friction between the valve plate and the inner wall of the valve seat is effectively reduced, and the service life of the valve plate is significantly prolonged. After the valve plate body is attached to the arc-shaped stopper, the valve plate body stops rotating under the limiting action of the arc-shaped stopper. At this time, the valve rod body continues to rotate, the inclined surface of the bottom guide groove forces the inclined surface of the rotating block to move downward, the rotating block extrudes the rubber gasket in the downward movement process, and the two fixed blocks are driven to move in opposite directions through the bottom inclined surfaces of the protruding structures on the two sides of the rotating block, the fixed blocks drive the valve plate body to move in the opposite directions, one end of the valve plate body is extruded towards the inner wall of the valve seat, further sealing is realized, and the sealing performance of the valve is significantly improved. With the continuous rotation of the valve rod body, when the bottom of the guide groove contacts the top of the guide block, the limiting groove contacts the side wall of the limiting block, the valve rod body continues to rotate, drives the limiting block and the rotating block to rotate again through the limiting groove, and further pushes the two valve plate bodies to tightly attach to the arc-shaped stopper, so that a deeper sealing effect is realized.
