Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Example 1: like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a rotary pipeline control valve, including a front protective cover 5, a rear protective cover 6, a rotary valve 4, a main control gear 3, a motor 1, a motor gear 2, a main control gear sealing ring 7, and a rotary valve handle 8; The front protective cover 5 has a first cylindrical part and a square flange part located at the rear end of the first cylindrical part, and a protective cover opening is provided on the side wall of the first cylindrical part. The rear protective cover 6 has a second cylindrical portion and a rear cover located at the rear end of the second cylindrical portion, and the front end of the second cylindrical portion is sealed to the square flange portion. The rotary valve 4 is cylindrical and coaxially disposed within the cavity formed by the front protective cover 5 and the rear protective cover 6. A rotary valve opening is provided on the side wall of the rotary valve 4. The outer circumferential surface of the rotary valve 4 is in clearance fit with the inner circumferential surface of the first cylindrical part and the second cylindrical part. The main control gear 3 is an annular external gear, which is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the rotary valve 4; The motor 1 is fixed to the inside of the rear end cover; the motor gear 2 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 1 and meshes with the main control gear 3. The main control gear sealing rings 7 are respectively disposed between the two end faces of the main control gear 3 and the corresponding end faces of the front protective cover 5 and the rear protective cover 6. The rotary valve handle 8 is rod-shaped, with one end fixedly connected to the front end face of the rotary valve 4, and the other end extending through the corresponding through hole of the front protective cover 5.
[0022] It should be noted that the front protective cover 5, rear protective cover 6, rotary valve 4 and main control gear 3 in this embodiment are made of plastic, stainless steel or aluminum profiles. Compared with existing butterfly valves, ball valves or gate valves, the rotary pipeline control valve provided in this embodiment can be made of lower cost materials, which is suitable for large-scale promotion of farmland irrigation.
[0023] Furthermore, the main control gear sealing ring 7 is an annular sealing ring.
[0024] In this embodiment, the front end of the first cylindrical part is provided with a circular opening, the opening of the protective cover is a rectangular opening, and the opening of the rotary valve is a rectangular opening that matches the shape of the opening of the protective cover.
[0025] Preferably, in this embodiment, the gap between the outer circumferential surface of the rotary valve 4 and the inner circumferential surface of the first cylindrical part and the second cylindrical part is 0.2mm. The rotary pipeline control valve provided in this embodiment adopts a non-contact rotary seal. The rotary valve and the arc surface of the front / rear protective cover are coaxial, with a gap of only 0.2mm. There is no relative friction between the sealing surfaces during normal opening and closing. The sealing force comes from the thrust of the water pressure in the pipeline on the rotary valve, which presses the rotary valve and the protective cover tightly. This water pressure self-tightening principle makes the sealing force increase with the increase of water pressure, and the sealing reliability does not decrease with time.
[0026] In this embodiment, annular grooves are respectively provided on both end faces of the main control gear 3, and the main control gear sealing ring 7 is embedded in the annular grooves. The main control gear sealing ring 7 is in pre-pressed contact with the corresponding end faces of the front protective cover 5 and the rear protective cover 6.
[0027] In this embodiment, the rotary valve handle 8 is a cylindrical rod with a handle portion at one end extending from the front protective cover 5; a sealing ring is provided in the through hole on the front protective cover 5. It should be noted that the rotary valve 4 has a rotary valve handle 8 extending from the front protective cover 5. When the motor 1 malfunctions or loses power, the rotary valve handle 8 can be manually rotated to open and close the valve, ensuring uninterrupted irrigation of farmland. The design of the handle extending from the end cover allows it to be operated even when the equipment is installed underwater.
[0028] In this embodiment, the motor gear 2 is a small-diameter gear, and the main control gear 3 is a large-diameter gear, together forming a speed reduction transmission.
[0029] In this embodiment, the outer casing of the motor 1 is provided with an annular glue-filling groove, which is filled with sealant; a rubber plug is provided at the lead wire of the motor 1, and the outer side of the rubber plug is coated with sealant.
[0030] In this embodiment, the outer circumferential surface of the second cylindrical portion is provided with a connecting surface for connecting a pipe.
[0031] In addition, this embodiment also includes a stroke encoder, which is connected to the main control gear 3 or the rotary valve 4 to detect the rotation angle. In this embodiment, the motor drives the rotary valve to rotate after gear reduction, and the opening and closing speed is uniform and controllable. By controlling the motor speed or using a stroke encoder to monitor the angle in real time, a slow-closing function can be achieved, effectively suppressing water hammer.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent transformations made based on the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
