Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valve maintenance, in particular to a clamp for valve maintenance. Background Art
[0002] During the inspection and maintenance of the valve, it is usually necessary to disassemble, inspect and repair various parts of the valve. However, due to the complex structure and numerous parts of the valve, a clamp is required to clamp the valve for easy disassembly.
[0003] The auxiliary maintenance fixture for a rising stem valve described in the publication number CN210909689U includes a first clamp, a second clamp and a fixing member, wherein the second clamp is used to dock with the first clamp; the fixing member is used to fix the docked first clamp and the second clamp to form a threaded sleeve, and the threaded sleeve cooperates with the valve stem thread of the rising stem valve. When used, if the system needs to inspect the rising stem valve in a closed state, then after the valve is closed, the auxiliary maintenance fixture is installed at the upper position of the valve stem, and the valve stem bracket is used to press the fixture downward to ensure that the valve stem is in a closed state to prevent the medium pressure from accidentally pushing the valve open; if the system needs to inspect the rising stem valve in an open state, then after the valve is opened, the auxiliary maintenance fixture is installed at the lower position of the valve stem, and the mutual force between the auxiliary maintenance fixture and the valve body is used to prevent the valve stem from moving downward, ensuring that the valve is in an open state to prevent the valve from cutting off the flow of the medium.
[0004] Although the above valve fixture solves certain problems, it still has the following disadvantages:
[0005] (1) The shape of the valve clamped by the clamp is fixed. When valves of different shapes need to be clamped, the contact surface between the clamp and the valve is easily reduced, and the external surface of the valve is easily damaged under extrusion.
[0006] (2) Since the valve has multiple connections on the conveying pipeline, the direction of the valve needs to be adjusted when removing the seal inside the valve. The above-mentioned fixture is not convenient and stable in turning. Utility Model Content

[0033] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.
[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0035] Embodiment 1:
[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a valve maintenance fixture, including a base 1, a slider 2, a flexible clamping component 3, an adjustment component 4, a positioning component 5, a rotating shaft 6, a support block 7, an adjustment plate 8, a sliding slot 9 and a clamping plate 10 arranged at the upper end of the slider.
[0037] Among them, the upper side of the base 1 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 6, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to an adjusting plate 8. A sliding slot hole 9 is opened at the upper end of the adjusting plate 8, and a positive and negative threaded rod 401 is arranged inside the sliding slot hole 9. The two sides of the positive and negative threaded rod 401 are respectively threadedly connected to the sliders 2 on both sides of the sliding slot hole 9. The positive and negative threaded rod 401 is controlled to rotate by rotating the adjusting head 402 connected to the two sides of the outside of the adjusting plate 8 to drive the sliders 2 on both sides of the sliding slot hole 9 to move closer to or away from each other, and the clamping plate 10 fixedly connected to the upper end of the slider 2 is brought closer to each other to clamp the valve that needs to be inspected.
[0038] However, due to reasons such as transportation, the outer shape of the valve is irregular, so a number of evenly distributed movable holes 11 are opened on the side where the clamping plates 10 are close to each other, and a movable rod 301 that can slide to both sides is arranged inside each movable hole 11, and the ends of the movable rods 301 close to each other are fixedly connected to a clamping column 302 with a rubber head, and an extrusion spring 303 is sleeved on the outside of each movable rod 301. The extrusion spring 303 squeezes the clamping columns 302 closer to each other on the side where the clamping columns 302 are away from each other and on the side where the clamping plates 10 are close to each other, and cooperates with the clamping plates 10 to clamp the valve that needs to be repaired, so that according to the different shapes of the valve appearance, the clamping columns 302 at the corresponding positions are pressed against the outside of the valve by the extrusion springs 303, thereby increasing the contact area between the clamp and the valve and reducing the possibility of squeezing and deforming the valve.
[0039] In order to prevent the extrusion spring 303 from ejecting the movable rod 301 from the inside of the movable hole 11, a blocking piece 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod 301 that is away from each other. The blocking piece 12 is on the side of the splint 10 that is away from each other to prevent the movable rod 301 from being ejected from the inside of the blocking piece 12.
[0040] Embodiment 2:
[0041] The solution in Example 1 is further introduced below in combination with a specific working method, as described below:
[0042] Since the valve has openings in multiple directions, it is necessary to adjust the angle and direction of the valve when the seal inside the valve is pushed out for inspection. In order to facilitate the angle adjustment of the clamped valve, a support block 7 is fixedly connected to the front and back of one side of the upper end of the base 1, and a worm 502 is arranged between the support blocks 7. The two ends of the worm 502 and the side of the support block 7 that is close to each other are rotatably connected together, and the worm 502 is driven by a servo motor 503 fixedly connected to the front side of the outside of the support block 7. The worm 502 and the worm wheel 501 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6 are meshed together. The worm can drive the worm wheel, and the worm wheel cannot drive the worm. The one-way driving characteristic of the worm can realize the self-positioning rotation of the adjustment plate 8, which is convenient for rotating the valve in all directions.
[0043] The electrical components appearing in this article are all connected to an external main controller and 220V AC power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device that controls a computer, etc. The specific implementation method of the present disclosure omits the detailed description of known functions and known components. To ensure the compatibility of the equipment, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of marketed equipment.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
