Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of butterfly valve technology, specifically to a butterfly valve that is easy to connect. Background Technology

[0002] A butterfly valve is a simple regulating valve, also called a flap valve. It can be used for the on / off control of low-pressure pipeline media. A butterfly valve is a type of valve whose closing element is a disc that rotates around the valve shaft to achieve opening and closing. Existing butterfly valves achieve on / off control of low-pressure pipeline media through the combined action of the valve body, valve stem, and handwheel. Turning the handwheel causes the valve stem to rotate, and the rotation of the valve stem causes the disc to rotate, thereby realizing the flow of media inside the valve body.

[0003] The connection between butterfly valves and pipelines is relatively simple, usually using flanges and screws for fixing. This requires a large number of screws, making installation complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

The spring is provided to facilitate pushing the sliding sleeve into the mating hole of the moving shaft, thereby fixing the position of the pressure block on the moving shaft.

[0006] Furthermore, a pull rope is fixedly connected to the inner end face of the sliding sleeve, passing through the central hole and the rope-through hole of the fixed sleeve. A pull block is fixedly connected to the pull rope, and the pull block is located outside the pressure block. The pull rope and pull block are provided to facilitate pulling the sliding sleeve. When the pressure block needs to be removed, the sliding sleeve can be fully pulled into the sliding hole.

[0007] Furthermore, a protective shell is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the valve body, a valve cover is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective shell, and a valve stem is rotatably connected to the center of the valve cover.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the cylindrical surface of the circular hole on the upper surface of the valve body. The inner cylindrical surface of the sealing ring is in close contact with the cylindrical surface of the valve stem, and a handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the valve stem. The sealing ring is provided to ensure a seal between the valve stem and the valve body, and the handle is provided to facilitate the rotation of the valve stem, thereby adjusting the butterfly valve.

[0017] A sealing ring 17 is fixedly connected to the cylindrical surface of the round hole on the upper surface of the valve body 1. The inner cylindrical surface of the sealing ring 17 is in close contact with the cylindrical surface of the valve stem 13. A handle 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the valve stem 13.

When the pressure block 10 rotates until the sliding hole 1002 and the mating hole of the moving shaft 8 coincide, the spring 903 will push the sliding sleeve 901 into the mating hole of the moving shaft 8. At this time, the sliding sleeve 901 is simultaneously in the sliding hole 1002 and the mating hole of the moving shaft 8, and the position of the pressure block 10 is fixed. Then, start the motor 3 to drive the gear 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving shaft 8 to rotate. During the rotation of the moving shaft 8, the pressure block 10 will move until the pressure block 10 contacts the flange surface of the pipe and presses it tightly onto the connecting plate 2, thereby completing the connection between the butterfly valve and the pipe.
