DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Now the utility model is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.

[0020] The utility model discloses a valve cover mechanism for a gate valve.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A valve cover mechanism for a gate valve includes a bottom cover 1 and a retainer 2. The bottom cover 1 includes a housing 11, a positioning plate 12 integrally formed on the top of the housing 11, and a flange plate 13 welded to the bottom edge of the housing 11; the retainer 2 includes a frame 21 and a bottom plate 22 welded to the bottom of the frame 21. A positioning groove 221 for accommodating the positioning plate 12 is provided on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 22 away from the frame 21. The groove depth of the positioning groove 221 is the same as the thickness of the positioning plate 12. Therefore, when the positioning plate 12 is located in the positioning groove 221, the bottom surface of the positioning plate 12 is flush with the bottom surface of the bottom plate 22.

[0022] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , connecting grooves 121 are provided on opposite side walls of the positioning plate 12, and an installation groove is provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove 221 close to the connecting groove 121, and a connecting card plate 224 is provided in the installation groove, and one side of the connecting card plate 224 is inserted in the connecting groove 121, and a blind hole is provided on the inner wall of the installation groove away from the connecting card plate 224, and a spring 225 is provided in the blind hole, one end of the spring 225 is connected to the inner wall of the blind hole, and the other end is connected to the connecting card plate 224, and a connecting rod 222 is fixed to the side wall of the connecting card plate 224 away from the positioning plate 12, and the connecting rod 222 passes through the side wall of the bottom plate 22 and is fixed with a pull block 223. In this embodiment, there are two blind holes, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the connecting rod 222, and when the spring 225 is in a natural state, it pushes one side of the connecting card plate 224 to extend into the connecting groove 121, so that the bottom plate 22 and the positioning plate 12 are relatively fixed, and then the connection and fixation of the bottom cover 1 and the retaining frame 2 are realized.

[0023] The bottom surface of the pull block 223 is provided with corrugated grooves to provide a force application point, so that the staff can pull the pull block 223 by hand; the two pull blocks 223 and the bottom plate 22 can be combined into a complete connecting disc, and the overall structure is more reasonable and beautiful.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom edge of the housing 11 is fixed with a flange plate 13 for connecting with the valve body. The cross-sectional profile of the housing 11 is in an arc shape. Ribs 111 are fixed to the opposite side walls of the housing 11. The two ends of the ribs 111 extend to the positioning plate 12 and the flange plate 13 respectively, and are fixedly connected to the positioning plate 12 and the flange plate 13. The provision of the ribs 111 can effectively improve the structural strength of the housing 11, so that the housing 11 is not prone to collapse when subjected to external forces. A hanging hole 112 is provided at one end of the ribs 111 close to the positioning plate 12, which is convenient for lifting and moving the valve cover as a whole, thereby improving the assembly convenience of the gate valve as a whole.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 The frame 21 includes two bracket plates 211 arranged in parallel, an auxiliary sleeve 212 is arranged between the two bracket plates 211, and the valve stem can pass through the auxiliary sleeve 212. Two connecting blocks 213 are welded and fixed on the outer peripheral surface of the auxiliary sleeve 212. The connecting blocks 213 correspond to the bracket plates 211. Slots are provided on the inner side walls of the two bracket plates 211 close to each other. The connecting blocks 213 are slidably inserted into the slots. The bracket plates 211 are threadedly connected with adjusting bolts 214. One end of the adjusting bolt 214 penetrates the bracket plates 211 and abuts against the connecting blocks 213. The auxiliary sleeve 212 plays a role in positioning and auxiliary support for the valve stem, and the position of the auxiliary sleeve 212 can be fine-tuned by rotating the adjusting bolt 214 to ensure the centering of the valve body.

[0026] The working principle of a valve cover mechanism for a gate valve of the utility model is as follows: when installing the bottom cover 1 and the retaining frame 2, the staff manually pulls the two pull blocks 223, and the pull blocks 223 drive the connecting clamping plate 224 to retract into the installation groove through the connecting rod 222, and then aligns the positioning groove 221 with the positioning block, and clamps the positioning plate 12 into the corresponding positioning groove 221, and then releases the pull block 223, and the connecting rod 222 extends one side into the connecting groove 121 under the elastic force of the spring 225, so that the bottom plate 22 and the positioning plate 12 are relatively fixed, and then the connection and fixation of the bottom cover 1 and the retaining frame 2 are realized, the operation is simple and convenient, and the bottom cover 1 and the retaining frame 2 are positioned and installed based on the connection relationship between the positioning plate 12 and the positioning groove 221, the installation accuracy is high, and there is no need to open a plurality of connection holes for passing bolts, and the requirement for processing accuracy is relatively low.

[0027] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the utility model, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical concept of the utility model through the above description. The technical scope of the utility model is not limited to the content of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
