[0016] Figure 3 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of part A;

[0017] Figure 4 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of part B. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The embodiments of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a bidirectional sealing knife gate valve comprises a valve body 1, a valve seat 3, a gate plate 2, and an actuator. The valve body 1 is provided with a medium channel for fluid flow, and the valve body 1 comprises a left valve body 11 and a right valve body 12. The left valve body 11 and the right valve body 12 are detachably connected by bolts 13, which are convenient for disassembly and maintenance. The valve body 1 is provided with a lifting groove 4 for the gate plate 2 to be lifted and lowered, and the valve seat 3 is made of elastic material and is arranged in the lifting groove 4. The actuator is arranged above the valve body 1, and comprises a pneumatic actuator 10, a connecting plate 9, and a push rod 8. The pneumatic actuator 10 is connected to the push rod 8 by driving through the connecting plate 9, and the lower end of the push rod 8 is fixed to the gate plate 2 by bolts. The gate plate 2 is lifted and lowered under the drive of the actuator to cut off or open the flow channel.

[0020] like Figure 2-4As shown, the valve seat 3 is provided with a lifting hole 31 for the gate plate 2 to pass through, and the lifting hole 31 is a lip-shaped sealing structure. A U-shaped groove 32 is extended from the lower end of the valve seat 3. The width of the U-shaped groove 32 corresponds to the gate plate 2. A sealing protrusion 33 is provided in the middle of the U-shaped groove 32. A sealing groove 24 is provided on the outer circumferential side of the gate plate 2 corresponding to the sealing protrusion 33. The sealing protrusion 33 and the sealing groove 24 are interference fit. When the valve is closed, the pneumatic actuator 10 drives the gate plate 2 to move downward, and the gate plate 2 opens the lip-shaped sealing structure to both sides so that the gate plate 2 can continue to move downward. During the downward movement of the gate plate 2, the sealing protrusion 33 cooperates with the sealing groove 24 to guide and prevent the gate plate from deflecting during the downward movement. After the gate plate 2 drops to the lowest point, the valve is closed. At this time, the lip-shaped sealing structure at the upper end and the gate plate surface constitute an upper seal, and the sealing protrusion 33 and the sealing groove 24 are interference fit to constitute a side seal and a lower seal, thereby ensuring the reliability of the valve seal and preventing medium leakage.

[0021] Furthermore, a spring compensation mechanism is provided on the valve body 1 corresponding to the lifting hole, which includes a spring 22 and a top pressure plate 21. One end of the spring 22 presses against the valve body 1, and the other end presses against the top pressure plate 21. The top pressure plate 21 presses against the outer edge of the upper end of the valve seat 3. Since the lifting hole 31 on the valve seat 3 is a lip-shaped sealing structure, the lifting hole 31 may be enlarged and unable to elastically recover after the valve is opened and closed multiple times. The spring compensation mechanism can provide it with elastic restoring force to ensure the sealing stability there.

[0022] In this embodiment, a packing assembly is provided above the lifting groove 4, including a packing 5 and a packing gland 6. The packing gland 6 is fixed to the valve body by bolts 7 to compress the packing 5, further enhancing the reliability of the valve sealing.

[0023] The embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the present invention, and any non-creative improvements made based on the spirit of the present invention should be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present invention.
