Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Gate valve is one of the more common types of shut-off valves. It is mainly used to cut off the medium in the pipeline and is usually called a shut-off valve or a blocking valve. Water-sealed gate valve is a common type of gate valve. The structure of the water-sealed gate valve is mainly different from that of ordinary gate valves in that the stuffing chamber of the valve body has a water circulation sealing structure. When water with a pressure of 0.6 to 1.0 MPa is passed into the interface, the system can be isolated from the atmosphere to ensure that the system has good air tightness. However, the current water-sealed gate valve only achieves the sealing between the valve stem and the valve seat through the water circulation sealing structure alone, and its sealing performance needs to be improved. Therefore, a new type of water-sealed gate valve is developed. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a novel water-sealed gate valve comprises a lower valve body 1, wherein a flow channel 2 is provided at the lower portion of the lower valve body 1. A valve cavity 3 connected to the flow channel 2 is provided in the middle of the lower valve body 1, and a slide groove 4 is provided between the valve cavity 3 and the flow channel 2.
[0016] An upper valve body 5 is fixedly arranged on the upper part of the lower valve body 1, a lower connecting plate 6 is arranged on the upper part of the lower valve body 1, an upper connecting plate 7 is arranged on the lower part of the upper valve body 5, and the lower connecting plate 6 and the upper connecting plate 7 are connected by connecting bolts 8. In addition, a sealing gasket 25 is arranged between the lower connecting plate 6 and the upper connecting plate, so as to improve the sealing performance between the lower valve body 1 and the upper valve body 5.
[0017] A through hole is provided in the middle of the upper valve body 5, and a packing cavity 10 for installing a packing 9 is provided outside the through hole. An inlet pipe 11 and an outlet pipe 12 connected to the packing cavity 10 are provided outside the upper valve body 5. A top seat 13 is provided on the upper part of the upper valve body 5, and a valve stem 14 threadedly connected to the top seat 13 is installed on the top seat 13. The upper end of the valve stem 14 is located above the top seat 13 and a hand wheel 15 for driving the rotation thereof is fixedly installed. The lower end of the valve stem 14 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the gate plate 16, and the contour of the gate plate 16 is adapted to the cross section of the flow channel 2 and the two sides are slidably matched with the chute 4; through the above arrangement, a water circulation sealing structure is formed in the packing cavity to ensure the sealing performance of the valve stem 14 and the upper valve body.
[0018] The inner side of the slide groove 4 is provided with a mounting groove 17 along the circumferential direction, and an inflatable sealing ring 18 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 17. Specifically: an air intake channel 19 is provided at one end of the lower valve body 1, one end of the air intake channel 19 is connected to the inflatable sealing ring 18, and the other end is connected to an air intake valve 20 installed outside the lower valve body 1, and the air intake valve 20 is connected to an external air supply pipeline 21. An exhaust channel 22 is provided at the other end of the lower valve body 1, one end of the exhaust channel 22 is connected to the inflatable sealing ring 18, and the other end is connected to an exhaust valve 23 installed outside the lower valve body 1. In addition, the gate 16 is provided with sealing grooves 24 adapted to the inflatable sealing ring 18 along the circumferential direction at the parts near the upper and lower ends. When the utility model is working, it can only perform two-position operation control of full opening or full closing in the pipeline, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. The gate of the valve moves linearly with the valve stem. Specifically, the valve stem drives the gate to move up and down by turning the hand wheel to switch the flow channel between the fully open and fully closed states. When the flow channel is in the fully open state, the gate is located in the valve cavity. At this time, the sealing groove of the gate near the lower end is aligned with the inflatable sealing ring. At this time, the exhaust valve is in the closed state. The air supply valve is opened, and the inflatable sealing ring is inflated by the air supply pipeline so that the inflatable sealing ring is deformed and expanded outward under the action of air pressure, thereby closely contacting the sealing groove near the lower end of the gate, and realizing the sealing effect between the gate and the lower valve body in the fully open state. However, when the flow channel is in the fully closed state, the gate cuts off the flow channel and the sealing groove near the upper end of the gate is aligned with the inflatable sealing ring. Repeat the above operation so that the inflatable sealing ring is closely contacted with the sealing groove near the upper end of the gate, and the sealing effect between the gate and the lower valve body in the fully closed state is realized. It should also be noted that when the hand wheel is turned to move the valve stem and the gate up and down, the air inlet valve needs to be closed and the exhaust valve opened to allow the inflatable sealing ring to deflate and shrink without interfering with the normal movement of the gate.
[0019] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred methods of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
