Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hemispherical valves, in particular to an inflatable sealing filtering hemispherical valve. Background Art

[0002] In industries such as biopharmaceuticals and food processing, it is often necessary to filter, screen or filter the materials inside the container.

[0003] The stirring paddle will stir. In order to facilitate the discharge of materials in the container, the hemispherical valve is generally installed at the bottom of the container. The material in the container is discharged by controlling the rotation of the hemispherical valve core. The main function of the traditional hemispherical valve is to open or cut off, and it is usually only used for the discharge of powder solid materials, but not for the diversion of solid materials and liquid materials.

[0004] The "hemispherical ball valve" disclosed in application number CN201810624723.7 has a valve disc on the outer circle of the hemispherical body.

[0005] The valve disc is installed on the outer circle of the hemisphere through threads. The valve disc is a tubular structure. One end of the valve disc is provided with a valve disc sealing surface that can form a seal with the valve seat sealing surface and form a spherical surface. The other end of the valve disc is provided with an adjusting tongue on the upper part, and an adjusting groove is provided on the end of the adjusting tongue. The upper rotating head is provided with an adjusting mouth, and the adjusting tongue extends into the adjusting mouth. The upper rotating head is provided with an inner wall that matches the outer circle of the lower end of the upper outer rod. An opening and closing groove is provided on the inner wall, and the opening and closing groove is placed on one side of the adjusting mouth. A vertical straight groove is provided at the lower part of the upper outer rod, and a blind hole is provided inside the upper outer rod. An upper inner rod is provided in the blind hole, a reset spring is provided between the lower end surface of the upper inner rod and the bottom surface of the blind hole, and a clamping device is provided at the lower part of the upper inner rod. It has the advantages of no friction between the valve seat sealing surface and the valve disc sealing surface, long service life and high safety. This technology mainly solves the problems of safe self-locking and service life of the valve during the switching process by optimizing the structure. In addition, its structure has too many blind spots for cleaning and sterilization, which does not meet the requirements of sanitary valves and is usually not used in industries with hygiene requirements such as food and medicine. It also does not enable the valve to have the function of separating solids and liquids from materials.

[0006] Another example is the "A sterile discharge hemispherical valve" disclosed in patent number ZL 202122148800.6, the valve includes

[0007] The valve body has a driving end sleeve fixedly connected to one side of the valve body, and the driving end shaft rotates inside and is connected to the driving end valve stem. The other side of the valve body has a driven end sleeve fixedly connected to the driven end shaft sleeve, and the driven end valve stem is rotated inside the driven end sleeve. A hemisphere is placed in the valve body, and mounting rods are welded to both ends of the lower surface of the hemisphere. The utility model can retain the sealing performance of an ordinary discharge ball valve through a hemisphere valve, solve the leakage problem of long-term use, and solve the problems of residue and difficulty in cleaning and disassembly of ordinary ball valves, ensure the sealing performance of the discharge port, and ensure that the material is cleaned during different batches of production without residue in the valve body. Although the valve meets the requirements of sanitary applications, it does not have the function of separating solids and liquids from materials. Utility Model Content

[0008] In order to overcome the problems of the prior art, the utility model provides an inflatable sealed filtering hemispherical valve, the main features of which are

[0009] The hemispherical valve core and the valve body are sealed with an inflatable airbag, and a filter screen is set on the upper end surface of the hemispherical valve core, and a drainage channel is set in the valve core and valve stem of the hemispherical valve. It can not only be installed at the bottom of the reactor for discharging powder materials, but also filter materials through the filter screen set on the valve plate.

[0010] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is: a filter screen is arranged on the upper end surface of the spherical valve core.

[0011] A liquid discharge channel is arranged inside the valve core and the valve stem, and the liquid in the material can enter the channel through the filter screen and then be discharged, thereby achieving the purpose of solid-liquid separation.

[0012] After the inflatable sealed filter semi-ball valve is installed at the bottom of the container, its filter screen and the internal flow channel of the valve body are located at the low point in the container, which can ensure that the liquid in the material can be fully discharged.

[0013] The inflatable sealed filtering hemispherical valve seals the spherical surface of the hemispherical valve core through an inflatable airbag. The airbag is in a retracted state when not inflated, so the valve core does not contact or rub against the seal during the reciprocating rotation within the set angle range. This design not only ensures the service life of the seal, but more importantly, does not produce debris due to friction, which is more suitable for use in sanitary and sterile scenarios; and the valve has a simple structure and is easy to clean and sterilize. It is mainly used in food, medicine, chemical and other fields.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the hemispherical valve core and the valve body of the valve are sealed by an inflatable air bag.

[0015] The sealing airbag can be effectively retracted during the rotation of the valve core of the switch valve, and the service life of the sealing component is longer than that of the traditional hemispherical valve, so the use and maintenance costs of the valve are lower.

[0016] An annular airflow channel is arranged on the valve body gland of the inflatable sealed filter semi-ball valve, and a plurality of purge ports are evenly distributed on the circumference of the channel, and an external pipeline is arranged on the annular channel. When the inflatable sealed filter semi-ball valve is applied to a three-in-one device (filter washing and drying machine), during the washing process, a catalyst can be injected or aeration can be performed through the pipeline, thereby enhancing the washing efficiency.

[0017] When the inflatable sealed filter hemispheric valve is used for powder discharging, due to the differences in fluidity, bulk density, stacking angle and other characteristics of certain materials, stacking and bridging may occur at the bottom of the container, affecting normal discharging. At this time, intermittent blowing of air to the annular flow channel can be used to break the stacking and bridging, thereby enabling smooth discharging.

[0018] A liquid discharge port is arranged at one end of the inflatable sealed filtering hemispherical valve and a rotary joint is installed. The rotary joint can be fixed on an external bracket, so that the liquid discharge pipe port can be in a fixed position and is not affected by the rotation of the valve core.

[0041] [Example 3]

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown: 4. The sealing airbag is designed as a U-shaped structure, the inner cavity of which is supported by 5. the airbag frame and by 2.

[0043] The valve cover is installed to the upper end face of the valve body 1. An annular air flow channel is set on the side of the airbag frame, and this channel is connected with the air hole processed on the valve body. 2. The valve cover is sealed with the valve body 1. through 7. O-ring 2.
