Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of butterfly valves, in particular to a hard-sealed three-link butterfly valve for pipeline medium switch control. Background Art

[0002] Butterfly valves, also known as flap valves, can be used for on-off control of pipeline media. The butterfly valve opening and closing part is a disc-shaped butterfly plate that rotates around its own axis in the valve body to achieve the purpose of opening, closing or regulating. Butterfly valves are suitable for pipelines that transport various corrosive and non-corrosive fluid media in engineering systems such as generators, coal gas, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, city gas, hot and cold air, chemical smelting, power generation and environmental protection, etc., and are used to regulate and cut off the flow of media.

[0003] When the butterfly valve is working, the drive mechanism drives the transmission shaft to rotate, the transmission shaft drives the transmission connecting rod, the transmission connecting rod drives the valve stem, and the valve stem drives the butterfly plate to rotate 0-90 degrees. After the butterfly plate rotates, its edge and the valve seat are sealed or opened. Therefore, the valve is opened and closed by the connecting rod mechanism. However, in the process of opening and closing, the butterfly plate moves in a relatively small arc at the moment of opening and closing, which will interfere with the valve seat. At the same time, there is impact resistance between the sealing pairs, which increases the torque. Therefore, frequent opening and closing can easily cause accelerated wear of the sealing surface, reduced sealing performance, and ultimately lead to valve leakage.

[0004] Furthermore, during operation, when the butterfly valve is in the middle opening, the opening shape formed by the valve body and the front end of the butterfly plate is centered on the valve shaft, and the two sides form different states. The front end of the butterfly plate on one side moves in the direction of the water flow, and the other side moves in the opposite direction of the water flow. Therefore, the valve body and the valve plate on one side form a nozzle-shaped opening, and the other side forms a throttle-shaped opening. The nozzle side has a much faster flow rate than the throttle side, and negative pressure is generated under the valve on the throttle side, which often causes the rubber seal to fall off. Therefore, a new hard-sealed three-link butterfly valve is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

One end of the flip rod 6 passes through the side wall of the valve body 1 and is connected to the worm gear reducer 12. The use of the worm gear reducer 12 can not only make the butterfly plate have self-locking ability and stop the butterfly plate 3 at any position, but also improve the operating performance of the valve, which can be remotely controlled or operated on site. The butterfly valve installation structure adopts a clamping type, and the valve is connected between two pipe flanges by stud bolts. A base is provided at the bottom of the valve body 1, and the vertical support is stable. Two lifting ears are provided on the top, and the lifting is convenient and quick.

[0024] Among them, the butterfly plate 3 is pressed parallel to the valve seat 2, the surface of the valve seat 2 is smooth, and the butterfly plate 3 is deformed to achieve hard sealing. There is no need to use sealing materials such as rubber. The valve body 1 is more resistant to high temperatures. When the valve plate is opened, it is parallel to the flow channel without resistance. The control is simple and convenient, the support is stable, and it is not easy to fall off, which increases the stability of the work.

[0025] Among them, the valve seat 2 adopts deep hole welding and plane welding methods. The thickness of the Stellite alloy layer is 2-2.5mm and the hardness is 40-45HRc. It has good wear resistance and strong abrasion resistance. The service life is comparable to that of imported products and is much longer than an overhaul period.

[0026] Among them, the sealing ring of the butterfly plate 3 adopts a metal ring instead of a rubber ring, which avoids cavitation due to improper use when used for throttling, causing the rubber seat to peel off and be damaged, and the cavitation area is reduced. At the same time, due to a certain hardness difference between the two sealing surfaces, the long life operation of the two sealing pairs and special circumstances during use are better guaranteed.

A long valve cover structure is adopted at the connecting rod end of the valve body 1, and graphite, glass fiber and other fillers are arranged around the connecting rod in the cover, and a combination of hard and soft seals is used to prevent the medium in the valve cavity from leaking out.

[0028] Among them, a buffer chamber 11 is provided on the bottom side of the inner cavity of the valve body 1, which can alleviate the impact of the medium on the components inside the valve during opening and closing, and also helps to reduce the occurrence of cavitation on the butterfly plate 3. The supporting connection between the flip rod 6 and the valve body 1 is changed from copper sleeve hard friction to bearing, and the bearing adopts a lead-free, oil-free self-lubricating structure, which has the characteristics of strong load-bearing capacity, good wear resistance, and low friction resistance.

[0029] The working principle and use process of the utility model: First, through reasonable material selection, it has the characteristics of good rigidity, temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and no wear on the sealing surface, so that the service life of the valve is significantly extended. Through scientific design methods, the weight of the whole machine is significantly reduced, which not only saves materials but also facilitates installation. And the operation is flexible and convenient, which can realize automatic operation and manual operation. By adopting the worm gear reducer 12, not only can the butterfly plate have self-locking ability, so that the butterfly plate 3 stops at any position, but also improves the operating performance of the valve. The butterfly valve above DN300 mm can gradually replace the gate valve. Compared with the gate valve, the butterfly valve has short opening and closing time, small operating torque, small installation space and light weight. Taking DN1000 as an example, the butterfly valve is about 2T, while the gate valve is about 3.5T. The butterfly valve is easy to combine with various drive devices and has good durability and reliability. The content not described in detail in this description belongs to the existing technology known to professional and technical personnel in this field.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and an explanation of the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solution formed by a specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the concept of the utility model.
