Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a gate valve, in particular to a tanker flange gate valve. Background Art

[0002] At present, a Chinese patent with the announcement number CN218761507U discloses a gate valve for shock absorption and leakage prevention during oil transportation, including a main body module and a sealing module, wherein the main body module includes a pipeline, flanges symmetrically fixed at both ends of the pipeline, a valve stem installed in the inner cavity of the pipeline and extending out of the pipeline, a hand wheel rotatably installed at the top of the pipeline, and a gate installed at the bottom end of the valve stem, and the sealing module includes a first sealing ring installed on the inner wall of the pipeline, a fixed plate fixedly sleeved on the valve stem, a second sealing ring installed at the bottom end of the fixed plate, a sealing assembly installed on the inner wall of the pipeline, and an extrusion assembly installed at the bottom end of the valve plate. During the use of the above-mentioned gate valve, it is necessary to drive the valve stem to move by rotating the hand wheel, and then control the gate plate to move radially in the pipeline to realize the opening and closing of the above-mentioned gate valve. However, when the above-mentioned gate valve is in an open state, the valve stem protrudes from the top of the hand wheel, which not only occupies a large space, but also easily scratches the operator, posing certain safety hazards. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the utility model aims to provide a tanker flange gate valve which, when in an open state, neither occupies more space nor easily scratches the operator.

[0005] Through the above technical solution, when in use, the operator can drive the valve stem to rotate through the hand wheel, and at the same time, the valve stem can be driven to slide the valve core inside the valve body through the positioning nut to realize the opening and closing of the gate valve. When the gate valve is in the open state, the upper end of the valve core is located inside the valve cover, the lower end of the valve core is higher than the bottom inner wall of the flow channel, and the position of the valve stem remains unchanged. In this way, when the gate valve is in the open state, the valve stem will neither take up more space nor easily scratch the operator.

[0006] Preferably, the inner diameter of the positioning hole is larger than the major diameter of the external thread 1 and smaller than the maximum width of the positioning nut.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, the inner diameter of the positioning hole is larger than the major diameter of the external thread, so that the movement of the valve core is not easily hindered by the valve stem and moves smoothly. The inner diameter of the positioning hole is smaller than the maximum width of the positioning nut, so that the inner wall of the positioning hole can be used to position the positioning nut, so that relative sliding between the positioning nut and the valve core is not likely to occur.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the positioning hole pass through the valve core, and the central axis of the positioning hole is perpendicular to the central axis of the valve stem and the central axis of the flow channel.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, both ends of the positioning hole penetrate the valve core, so that the positioning nut can be easily disassembled. The central axis of the positioning hole is perpendicular to the central axis of the valve stem and the central axis of the flow channel, so that the positioning nut is not easy to fall out of the positioning hole.

[0010] Preferably, a buffer pad is bonded and fixed to the inner wall of the positioning hole, and the inner wall of the buffer pad is in close contact with the outer wall of the positioning nut.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the buffer pad is tightly attached to the positioning nut to further limit the positioning nut, thereby improving the connection strength between the positioning nut and the valve core.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the inner wall of the positioning hole, and a limiting protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the buffer pad, and the limiting protrusion is clamped in the limiting groove.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion cooperate with each other to limit the buffer pad, which can not only improve the connection strength between the positioning nut and the valve core, but also improve the smoothness of the buffer pad bonding process.

[0014] Preferably, a marking rod is provided on the top of the valve cover, and an indicator needle is provided on the end of the valve stem protruding from the valve cover, and the end of the indicator needle points to the marking rod.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, during the use of the above gate valve, the indicator needle can rotate with the valve stem, so that it cooperates with the mark rod to reflect the opening and closing status of the above gate valve.

[0016] Preferably, a second external thread is provided at the outer wall of the end of the valve stem protruding from the valve cover, and a connecting ring is provided at the end of the indicator needle, and the connecting ring is threadably connected to the second external thread.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the indicator needle is threadedly connected to the valve stem through the connecting ring, which has the advantage of being convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0018] Preferably, a support ring is provided in the valve cover, the valve stem passes through the support ring, a plurality of connecting rods are circumferentially provided on the outer wall of the support ring, and the connecting rods are connected to the inner wall of the valve cover.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the support ring cooperates with a plurality of connecting rods to support the valve stem and prevent the valve stem from being deflected during use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
