Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of butterfly valves, in particular to a novel stuffing box butterfly valve. Background Art
[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve, is a regulating valve with a simple structure. It can be used for the on-off control of low-pressure pipeline media. A butterfly valve refers to a valve whose closing member (valve disc or butterfly plate) is a disc, which rotates around the valve axis to achieve opening and closing. The valve can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal and radioactive media. It mainly plays a cutting and throttling role in the pipeline. The butterfly valve opening and closing member is a disc-shaped butterfly plate, which rotates around its own axis in the valve body to achieve the purpose of opening and closing or regulation.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN214367827U discloses a highly adaptable bidirectional sealing butterfly valve, including a valve body, a butterfly plate is rotatably mounted inside the valve body, a valve stem is fixedly mounted on the butterfly plate, and the valve stem is rotatably extended out of the valve body in the extension direction; a stuffing box is provided on the upper part of the valve stem, and a manual device is fixedly mounted on the top of the stuffing box; a valve seat is frictionally connected to one side of the butterfly plate, the valve seat is fixedly clamped on the fixing part, the fixing part is coaxially fixedly mounted in the valve body, a screw is fastened on one side of the fixing part, a pressing part is frictionally mounted in the screw, and the cooperation between the butterfly plate and the valve seat can ensure the overall sealing of the valve; the valve seat is clamped in the fixing part and then fastened and installed by screws, which is convenient for the replacement and maintenance of the valve seat after the valve seat is worn in the later stage; at the same time, the sealing ring at the screw connection can ensure the sealing of the screw hole, and the pressing part can seal the connection between the valve seat and the fixing part, and at the same time, the supporting part can support the edge of the valve seat.
[0004] The above patent still has certain defects. The butterfly valve needs to be connected to a pipeline when in use, through which various liquids are transported, and water is often transported. The temperature will drop significantly in cold weather, and water flow will easily freeze into ice in low temperature weather, especially non-flowing water will more easily condense into ice. The droplets attached to the valve plate fan inside the butterfly valve will condense into ice more easily, causing the valve plate to be unable to rotate, and then causing the butterfly valve to be unable to open and close. Utility Model Content

[0024] The driving motor 103 drives the rotating shaft 106 to rotate through the output shaft, and drives the fan blades 107 to rotate through the rotating shaft 106. The fan blades 107 rotate and drive the air to pass through the dustproof net 105 into the interior of the heating box 108.

The fan blades 107 blow the heated air to the air guide box 101 and guide the heated air to the valve body 2 through the air guide box 101, thereby heating the valve body 2 to prevent the valve body 2 from freezing into ice.
[0025] In this embodiment, a ventilation hole is provided on the upper surface of the heating box 108, and the dustproof net 105 is fixed inside the ventilation hole. A mounting groove is provided on the top wall of the inner cavity of the heating box 108, and a bearing is fixed inside the mounting groove. The rotating shaft 106 is fixed inside the bearing. The cross-section of the air guide box 101 is in the shape of a parallelogram, and the inclined surface of the air guide box 101 is inclined toward the side close to the valve body 2.

The provision of power is also common knowledge in this field, and this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so this application no longer explains the control method and circuit connection in detail.
[0026] It should be noted that the thawing mechanism 1 monitors the external temperature in real time through the temperature sensor 102. When the external temperature reaches a temperature that can freeze the droplets, the driving motor is started. At the same time, the heating tube 109 heats the air temperature, and the driving motor 103, the rotating shaft 106, the fan blades 107 and the air guide box 101 cooperate to blow the heated hot air toward the valve body 2 to raise its temperature to a temperature at which the droplets cannot freeze.
[0027] See also Figure 3 In order to prevent the stuffing in the stuffing box from leaking out, the sealing mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes two connecting blocks 403 respectively fixed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the stuffing box body 5, the interiors of the two connecting blocks 403 are threadedly connected with connecting screws 406, the outer sides of the two connecting screws 406 are threadedly connected with a sealing plate 401, and the left side wall of the inner cavity of the stuffing box body 5 is fixed with no less than two sealing springs 404, and a movable plate 405 is fixed to the right side of no less than two sealing springs 404, and a sealing gasket 402 is fixed to the movable plate 405.

[0029] It should be noted that the sealing mechanism 4 seals the filling port of the stuffing box body 5 through the cooperation of the sealing plate 401, the sealing gasket 402, the sealing spring 404 and the movable plate 405 to prevent external gas or droplets from penetrating into the interior of the stuffing box body 5, and also prevent the material in the stuffing box body 5 from leaking out.
[0030] The working principle of the above embodiment is:
[0031] (1) When the temperature sensor 102 detects that the outside temperature is lower than the set temperature, the drive motor 103 and the heating tube 109 are started. The drive motor 103 drives the shaft 106 to rotate through the output shaft, and drives the fan blades 107 to rotate through the shaft 106. The fan blades 107 rotate while driving the air to pass through the dustproof net 105 and enter the interior of the heating box 108. The heating tube 109 heats the air in the heating box 108 to increase its temperature. The fan blades 107 blow the heated air into the interior of the air guide box 101. At the same time, the air guide box 101 guides the heated air to the interior of the heating box 108. Towards the valve body 2, the valve body 2 gradually heats up under the blowing of hot air, thereby increasing the temperature inside the valve body 2, and further making it impossible for the water flowing through the valve body 2 and the residual droplets to freeze. The thawing mechanism 1 monitors the external temperature in real time through the temperature sensor 102. When the external temperature reaches the temperature that can freeze the droplets, the driving motor is started, and the heating tube 109 heats the air temperature at the same time. The driving motor 103, the rotating shaft 106, the fan blades 107 and the air guide box 101 cooperate to blow the heated hot air toward the valve body 2 to raise its temperature to a temperature that cannot freeze the droplets.
[0032] (2) After the stuffing box body 5 is filled with material, the sealing plate 401 is covered and the sealing plate 401 and the connecting block 403 are connected together by connecting screws 406, so that the sealing plate 401 and the stuffing box body 5 fit tightly. At this time, the sealing gasket 402 is pushed to the left, and the sealing gasket 402 drives the movable plate 405 to move to the left and compress the sealing spring 404. The sealing spring 404 is compressed to generate a rebound force to push the sealing gasket 402 to the right through the movable plate 405, so that the sealing gasket 402 is slightly deformed during the pushing and fits tightly to the sealing plate 401. The sealing mechanism 4 seals the filling port of the stuffing box body 5 through the cooperation of the sealing plate 401, the sealing gasket 402, the sealing spring 404 and the movable plate 405, so as to prevent external gas or liquid droplets from penetrating into the interior of the stuffing box body 5, and also prevent the material in the stuffing box body 5 from leaking out.
