Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of valves, in particular to a hydraulic check butterfly valve. Background Art

[0002] The check butterfly valve is a special type of check valve that combines the functional characteristics of a butterfly valve and a check valve. This valve adopts a valve plate design, that is, there is a disc-shaped valve disc that rotates around the valve axis. When working normally, when the fluid flows along the direction of the valve disc opening, the valve plate opens under the action of fluid pressure to allow the medium to pass. When the fluid stops flowing or changes its flow direction and tries to flow back, the valve plate can close itself due to its own weight or the action of the built-in spring and the resistance generated by the reverse flow of the liquid to prevent the medium from flowing back. Traditional weight-type butterfly valves are difficult to control the opening and closing speed. In practical applications, the valve opening and closing speed often needs to be adjusted according to the medium and actual needs; and existing weight-type butterfly valves often set hydraulic or other drive devices under the weight. When the equipment has been in service for a long time and has problems such as aging, it is easy to cause the weight to damage the equipment again, causing additional losses; these problems have put forward new requirements for valves.
