[0029] Embodiment 1
[0030] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, a gate valve that is easy to open and close is provided as follows:
[0031] Combination Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the utility model provides a gate valve that is easy to open and close, including a valve body 1, a valve cover 2 is provided on the top of the valve body 1, the valve cover 2 is bolted and fixed to the valve body 1, a handle 21 is provided on the top of the valve cover 2 to engage and rotate with the valve cover 2, a valve stem 3 is penetrated in the middle of the handle 21, the valve stem 3 is threadedly connected to the handle 21, a gate plate 4 is provided at one end of the valve stem 3 located inside the valve body 1 and inside the valve cover 2, a valve seat 11 is provided inside the valve body 1, and a lubrication mechanism 5 for assisting the movement of the valve stem 3 is provided in the middle of the valve cover 2; through the lubrication mechanism 5 provided in the middle of the valve cover 2, the lubrication mechanism 5 can apply lubricating oil to the outside of the valve stem 3 when the valve stem 3 moves up and down, so as to ensure that the valve stem 3 can still move smoothly after long-term use, reduce the friction resistance during operation, and make opening and closing easier;
[0032] The lubrication mechanism 5 includes a lubrication box 51 and a filling port 52. The lubrication box 51 is arranged on the side of the valve body 1. The lubrication box 51 is fixedly connected to the handle 21. The top of the lubrication box 51 is provided with a filling port 52. The top of the filling port 52 is provided with a sealing cover. A lubrication cavity is formed inside the lubrication box 51. The lubrication cavity can store lubricating oil. A lubrication component is arranged inside the lubrication cavity. The lubrication component extends to the inside of the valve cover 2. The lubrication box 51 is mirror-distributed on the outside of the valve body 1. The mirror-distributed lubrication box 51 facilitates the lubrication oil to be applied to the outside of the valve stem 3 through the lubrication component arranged inside. A packing 22 is provided on the top of the inner side of the handle 21. The packing 22 is slidably connected to the outside of the valve stem 3.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lubrication assembly includes a lubrication tube 53 and a lubrication strip 54. The lubrication tube 53 is arranged inside the handle 21. The lubrication strip 54 is arranged inside the lubrication tube 53. One end of the lubrication strip 54 is located inside the valve cover 2, and the other end of the lubrication strip 54 is located inside the lubrication cavity. A lubrication ring 55 is arranged at one end of the lubrication strip 54 located inside the valve cover 2. The lubrication ring 55 is slidably connected to the valve stem 3. The arrangement of the lubrication strip 54 can guide the lubrication oil inside the lubrication cavity to the inside of the lubrication ring 55, so that when the valve stem 3 slides inside the lubrication ring 55, the lubrication ring 55 applies the lubrication oil to the outside of the valve stem 3.
[0034] The implementation principle of the first embodiment is: when the handle 21 rotates to drive the threaded valve stem 3 to lift and lower the gate plate 4 to open and close, the valve stem 3 will slide against the lubrication ring 55 in the lubrication mechanism 5. The lubrication ring 55 will, with the assistance of the lubrication strip 54, apply the lubricating oil inside the lubrication box 51 to the outside of the valve stem 3. After the gate valve has been used for a long time, the valve stem 3 can move smoothly, thereby making the opening and closing of the gate valve more convenient.
[0035] Embodiment 2
[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further provides the following contents:
[0037] In order to make the gate plate 4 inside the gate valve more convenient for long-term use, this embodiment provides the following design:
[0038] The gate plate 4 includes a mounting plate 41, a top plate 42, a combination plate 43 and a reinforcement block 44. The top plate 42 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 41, and the combination plate 43 is provided on the top surface of the top plate 42. A reinforcement block 44 is provided on the outer side of the top of the mounting plate 41. The reinforcement block 44 and the top plate 42 are both engaged and slid with the inside of the valve cover 2 and the inside of the valve body 1. The setting of the reinforcement block 44 can support the mounting plate 41 inside the valve cover 2 and the inside of the valve body 1, so as to improve the stability of the gate plate 4.
[0039] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 31 is provided at the bottom end of the valve stem 3, and the connecting plate 31 is fixedly welded to the combined plate 43. Under the fixed welding effect of the connecting plate 31 and the combined plate 43, the valve stem 3 is convenient for driving the gate plate 4 to move up and down;
[0040] In this embodiment, a mounting ring 45 is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the mounting plate 41, a valve cover plate 46 is provided on the outer side of the mounting ring 45, a support plate 47 is provided inside the mounting ring 45, and the support plate 47 is of an elastic structure. The mounting ring 45 is threadedly connected with the valve cover plate 46. Under the threaded connection between the mounting ring 45 and the valve cover plate 46, the worn valve cover plate 46 can be replaced after the gate valve is used for a long time. The support plate 47 with an elastic structure can support the valve cover plate 46 from the inside of the mounting ring 45, so as to improve the connection firmness between the valve cover plate 46 and the mounting ring 45.
[0041] In this embodiment, the mounting ring 45, the valve cover plate 46 and the support plate 47 are arranged correspondingly, and the mounting ring 45, the valve cover plate 46 and the support plate 47 are distributed in a mirror image on the outside of the mounting plate 41. The mirror image-distributed mounting ring 45, the valve cover plate 46 and the support plate 47 facilitate the engagement and connection with the valve seat 11 inside the valve body 1;
[0042] As an improvement of the above solution, a sealing slope is provided on the side of the valve cover disc 46, and the sealing slope slides in contact with the valve seat 11. The sealing slope provided on the side of the valve cover disc 46 can assist the gate plate 4 to slide and engage with the valve seat 11.
[0043] The implementation principle of the second embodiment is as follows: after the gate valve has been used for a long time, the gate plate 4 is in continuous sliding contact with the valve seat 11, and the valve cover plate 46 in the gate plate 4 will produce certain wear. At this time, the staff opens the valve cover 2, lifts the gate plate 4 out of the valve body 1, and then rotates the valve cover plate 46. The valve cover plate 46 can be separated from the outside of the threaded mounting ring 45. After the valve cover plate 46 is removed from the outside of the mounting plate 41, a new valve cover plate 46 matching the valve seat 11 can be installed on the outside of the mounting plate 41, thereby facilitating the long-term use of the gate valve.
