Existing butterfly valves experience a decline in sealing performance in ultra-low temperature environments. The soft sealing rings harden, become brittle, and age faster, leading to reduced sealing performance.
It adopts a hard metal sealing ring and a load-bearing device. The butterfly plate body is driven to rotate in the valve seat by the actuator to achieve sealing. Combined with the load-bearing device, the butterfly plate body is supported to maintain the center position, ensuring effective contact between the sealing ring and the valve seat and avoiding the effects of thermal expansion and contraction.
Maintaining sealing performance in extremely low temperature environments prevents the sealing ring from shrinking, deforming, or cracking, thereby improving the working stability and service life of the butterfly valve and preventing the butterfly plate from tilting or swaying.

In the field of new-generation manned launch vehicles, the butterfly valve needs to serve in a super-low temperature environment of -183 DEG C and perform functions such as liquid oxygen propellant delivery and tank isolation sealing. However, the existing butterfly valve structure often adopts a soft sealing structure to seal between the valve body and the butterfly plate. If the butterfly valve is applied in a super-low temperature environment, the soft sealing ring between the valve body and the butterfly plate will harden, become brittle, accelerate aging, permanently deform or even decompose, thereby reducing the sealing performance of the butterfly valve.

The shell is provided with a cavity with two open ends, and the two open ends are suitable for flowing into and flowing out of fluid. The valve seat is arranged at one open end of the shell, and the butterfly plate body is rotatably arranged on the inner side of the valve seat. The driving end of the actuator is connected with one end of the valve rod, and the other end of the valve rod penetrates through the shell and is connected with the butterfly plate body, so that when the actuator drives the valve rod to rotate, the butterfly plate body is driven to rotate to open or close the opening of the shell.

When the adjusting bolt 630 is rotated, the adjusting bolt 630 can perform telescopic movement under the action of the nut 631, so as to adjust the degree of the adjusting bolt 630 extending into the inside of the bottom cover 620. Since the head of the adjusting bolt 630 protrudes into the accommodation hole at the bottom of the load adjusting rod 600, when the adjusting bolt 630 moves towards the load adjusting rod 600, the load adjusting rod 600 will be pressed towards the second connecting portion 460, so as to support and lift the second connecting portion 460, and offset the gravity of the butterfly plate body 400.

[0078] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: 1. The present application is a three-eccentric butterfly valve, the conical axis formed by the sealing surface of the valve seat 300 has an eccentric angle R with the axis of the shell; the central axis of the valve rod 500 has an eccentric distance a with the central surface of the disc plate body 400, and the central axis of the valve rod 500 has an eccentric distance b with the central line of the shell; the above is a three-eccentric design, which fundamentally changes the sealing structure, and is no longer a positional seal but a torsional seal, completely relying on the contact surface pressure of the valve seat 300 to achieve the sealing effect, thus solving the difficult problem of zero leakage of the metal valve seat 300, and the contact surface pressure is proportional to the medium pressure, so the high-pressure and high-temperature resistance is also solved.
[0079] 2. The valve body and the disc plate of the existing butterfly valve are mostly made of austenitic stainless steel material which has excellent thermal and mechanical properties at ultra-low temperature but has a relatively large density, resulting in that the weight of the butterfly valve far exceeds the design requirement of the pressurized conveying system, which has great limitations and has become a bottleneck problem to be solved. The present application uses a lightweight aluminum alloy material which has good compatibility with oxygen to manufacture the shell 200, and uses an aluminum alloy to manufacture the disc plate body 400, so as to greatly reduce the weight of the butterfly valve.
[0080] 3. The disc plate structure is adopted in a split type, the disc plate body 400 and the first sealing ring 420 are designed in a split type and are screwed through the pressing plate 410, and on the basis of ensuring the sealing performance, compared with the integrated disc plate, the structure weight is effectively reduced; the lightweight design reduces the overall weight of the butterfly valve, and meets the urgent needs of the new generation of pressurized conveying system for the butterfly valve.
[0081] 4. The double-valve-rod form (valve rod 500 and load-bearing adjusting rod 600) in a segmented type is adopted, compared with the full-shaft type butterfly valve, the actual flow area of the channel is increased, the flow resistance coefficient is reduced, and the weight of the butterfly valve is also effectively reduced.
[0082] 5. The stop block 250 is arranged on the disc plate body 400 to ensure that the disc plate body 400 can be completely opened to form the maximum diameter.
[0083] 6. The application adopts high-temperature alloy material for the light-weight valve seat 300, and adopts high-temperature alloy material for the first sealing ring 420 for the consideration of sealing. Both of them are materials with high hardness and rigidity. If the position of the butterfly plate body 400 is deviated, the stress between them will be uneven, which will easily cause vicious wear. The application designs a load-bearing device to effectively support the butterfly plate body 400, eliminating the influence of the weight of the butterfly plate body on the sealing surface. It ensures the accuracy and stability of the position, effectively contacts the first sealing ring 420 and the valve seat 300 without wear, ensures the sealing performance, and improves the service life of the butterfly valve.
[0084] 7. The butterfly plate body 400 and the valve seat 300 constitute a sealing fit pair, which facilitates the removal of the first sealing ring 420 and the valve seat 300 for separate maintenance and replacement, effectively reducing the difficulty of maintenance.
[0085] 8. To realize the lightweight design of the actuator 100, the piston cylinder 110 and the piston block 700 of the actuator 100 adopt aluminum alloy material with good oxygen compatibility; the transmission rod 900, the gear and the rack 710 adopt high-temperature alloy material to ensure strength, and the rack 710 and the piston block 700 adopt a split structure, thereby reducing the overall weight.
[0086] 9. Through the structural design of the cam 800 and the microswitch 830 and the electrical signal feedback of the electrical connector 940, the opening angle of the butterfly valve can be accurately controlled, effectively improving the control accuracy of the butterfly valve.
