Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to an active regulating gate valve. Background Art
[0002] The gate valve is an opening and closing part, in which the movement direction of the gate is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid, and is used to fully open and fully close the pipeline, that is, to release and intercept the fluid in the pipeline. Unlike other valves, the gate valve cannot regulate and throttle the medium. Most gate valves use forced sealing, that is, when the valve is closed, it is necessary to rely on external force to force the valve plate to the valve seat to ensure the sealing of the matching surface.
[0003] In the prior art, the gate forms a seal with the valve seat through the action of the medium during its movement, and the overall sealing performance is relatively dependent on the pressure of the medium. When the medium pressure is low, the sealing performance will weaken. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application proposes an active regulating gate valve, by installing an active sealing device on the valve body corresponding to the position of the gate valve plate, so that when the medium pressure is relatively low, the active sealing device can be actively adjusted to maintain the sealing effect between the valve plate and the valve seat. The active regulating gate valve is specifically implemented by the following technical solutions:
[0005] An active regulating gate valve comprises: a valve body, a valve cover, a valve plate and a valve stem, the valve body is provided with an inlet flow channel and an outlet flow channel, the valve plate is arranged in the valve body and is used to control the conduction or closure between the inlet flow channel and the outlet flow channel, the valve cover is arranged on the valve body through a fastener, the inner end of the valve stem is transmission-connected to the valve stem and the outer end of the valve stem passes through the valve cover and is connected to a power device, a mounting hole is opened on the valve body, the mounting holes are provided with two, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the valve body with the valve plate as the center, and an active sealing device for loosening or tightening the valve plate is installed in the mounting hole.
[0006] It is further configured that the active sealing device includes a buffer head, a spring and a plug, and the buffer head, spring and plug are axially slidably arranged in the mounting hole from the inner end to the outer end in sequence. Through this configuration, the active sealing device is installed in the mounting hole to realize the basic function, and the overall structure is tight.
[0007] It is further arranged that a first limiting flange is provided at the inner end of the mounting hole, and the buffer head is limited in the mounting hole by the first limiting flange. Through this arrangement, the position of the buffer head is stabilized, so that the overall structure is tight and stable.
[0008] It is further configured that an outer wall of the buffer head in contact with the inner wall of the mounting hole is provided with a first sealing groove, and a first sealing ring is provided in the first sealing groove. Through this configuration, leakage between the mounting hole and the active sealing device is prevented, thereby further improving the sealing performance.
[0009] It is further configured that a buffer gasket is also provided at the inner end of the buffer head, the buffer gasket is connected to the buffer head by mortise and tenon, and the buffer gasket is not limited by the first limiting flange. Through this configuration, there is a certain buffer when the buffer head is pressed against the valve plate, thereby preventing wear and increasing the service life.
[0010] It is further configured that the outer periphery of the inner end of the plug is provided with a thread, and the outer end of the plug is provided with a second limiting flange. The plug is connected to the outer end of the mounting hole by a thread and is limited and fixed by the second limiting flange. Through this configuration, the plug applies force to tighten the spring to achieve basic functions, and the second limiting flange plays a certain limiting function to prevent damage caused by over-tightening.
[0011] It is further arranged that the plug is provided with a pressure-stabilizing hole along the axial direction for stabilizing the pressure balance between the inside of the mounting hole and the outside. Through this arrangement, the operation of the active sealing device during operation, which is caused by excessive pressure changes in the mounting hole and leads to operational difficulties, can be operated more smoothly.
[0012] It is further arranged that a second sealing groove is arranged on the outer periphery where the plug contacts the inner wall of the mounting hole, and a second sealing ring is arranged in the second sealing groove. Through this arrangement, further sealing is achieved to prevent leakage and improve the sealing performance of the valve.
[0013] It is further arranged that the outer end of the buffer head and the inner end of the plug are both provided with limiting protrusions, and the spring is limited in the mounting hole by the limiting protrusions. Through this arrangement, a limiting effect is exerted on the spring, and the overall structure is more stable.
[0014] The active regulating gate valve described above, when the gate valve is closed, can apply thrust to the inner end by rotating the plug in the mounting hole, act on the spring, and be transmitted to the buffer head by the spring, and finally act on the valve plate to achieve further sealing, which can supplement the small sealing force caused by the small medium pressure and improve the sealing performance.
