The outlet end of the foot valve 1 is provided with an elbow flange 4. The inlet end and the outlet end of the butterfly valve 2 are respectively connected and fixed to the elbow flange 4 and the outlet flange 3 through a connecting piece 5. In this embodiment, the connecting piece 5 is composed of a connecting bolt, a spring washer and a nut. The outlet end of the outlet flange 3 is provided with a plug cover 10.
[0022] The inlet end face of the butterfly valve 2 is provided with a sealing groove, in which a butterfly valve main seal 6 is installed. The elbow flange 4 and the butterfly valve 2 are sealed and connected via the butterfly valve main seal 6, and the butterfly valve main seal 6 is in contact with the outer edge of the sealing plate inside the butterfly valve 2.
[0023] Working principle:
[0024] First, the inlet and outlet ends of the butterfly valve 2 are directly connected to the elbow flange 4 and the outlet flange 3 respectively by metal-to-metal connection through the connecting piece 5, thereby increasing the overall rigidity of the valve, improving the resistance to external forces, and then improving safety.
[0025] In addition, by installing the main seal 6 of the butterfly valve on the inlet end face of the butterfly valve 2, the butterfly valve 2 and the elbow flange 4 can be sealed by the main seal 6 of the butterfly valve, and the sealing performance of the sealing plate of the butterfly valve 2 itself is also ensured. Thereby, the sealing surface of the entire bottom valve is effectively reduced, and the reliability is increased. And by setting a sealing groove on the inlet end face of the butterfly valve 2, the main seal 6 of the butterfly valve is clamped and fixed in the sealing groove, thereby reducing the creep space of the seal and effectively extending the service life of the seal.
[0026] Embodiment 2, as a further preferred embodiment of embodiment 1, a sealing gasket 7 is provided between the outlet end of the butterfly valve 2 and the outlet flange 3. In this embodiment, a step notch 8 is provided at the outlet end of the butterfly valve 2, the front half of the sealing gasket 7 is installed in the step notch 8, and the rear half of the outer circumferential surface of the sealing gasket 7 is provided with a metal ferrule 9, which is sandwiched between the outlet end face of the butterfly valve 2 and the end face of the outlet flange 3, so that the butterfly valve 2 and the outlet flange 3 are connected by metal to metal, so as to further increase the overall rigidity of the valve. The sealing gasket 7 can achieve a sealing effect between the outlet end face of the butterfly valve 2 and the end face of the outlet flange 3; in addition, the metal ferrule 9 is provided to wrap the outer periphery of the sealing gasket 7, so as to effectively avoid the sealing gasket 7 from contacting with the outside world, thereby preventing the sealing gasket 7 from being damaged by the outside world, and thus improving the service life of the sealing gasket 7.
[0027] Embodiment 3, as a further preferred embodiment of embodiment 1, the butterfly valve 2 comprises a valve body 21, a sealing plate 22 is provided in the inner cavity of the valve body 21, one end of the upper main shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the upper side surface of the sealing plate 22 through a gear hole, the other end of the upper main shaft 23 passes through the valve body 21 and is fixedly connected to a butterfly handle 25 through a gear shaft 24, an eccentric plate 27 is connected to the upper side of the gear shaft 24 through a fixing bolt 26, the eccentric plate 27 is connected to one end of a handle 28, the other end of the handle 28 is located below the butterfly handle 25 and matches the butterfly handle 25. The eccentric plate 27 makes the handle 28 adopt an eccentric structure, thereby effectively increasing the gap with the large tank head for easy operation.
