Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gate valves, in particular to a self-lubricating gate valve. Background Art

[0002] A gate valve is a commonly used industrial valve used to control the flow of fluid in a pipeline, especially to cut off or regulate the flow of fluid. Its name comes from the valve plate that moves inside its valve body, which is usually called a gate or a gate. The gate can move perpendicular to the direction of the fluid, thereby fully opening or fully closing the pipeline, or regulating the flow of the fluid at different degrees of opening.

[0003] When gate valves are used for a long time, due to increased wear and long-term consumption, gate valves may require more frequent maintenance, including cleaning, lubrication and replacement of parts, which increases the maintenance cost and downtime of the equipment, resulting in unstable operation of the gate valve, which may cause stagnation, jamming or unsmooth operation, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. When using a gate valve, the flow is too large, but the gate valve can only be completely closed, and additional equipment or control systems may be required to adjust the flow, thereby increasing energy consumption and making it impossible to effectively and accurately control the flow, resulting in excessive energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The utility model can solve the problem of unstable operation of the gate valve, possible jamming, deadlock or non-smooth operation, which affects the normal operation of the equipment by setting a self-lubricating mechanism. By pouring the lubricating oil from the feed pipe on the storage box into the storage chamber, the lubricating oil will first be transferred downward through the provided outer cylinder, and then flow into the upper side wall of the guide plate and then flow to the left and right side walls to add lubricating oil to the valve base and valve plate and the connecting block at the bottom to keep the lubrication of the valve plate and the valve base at the bottom to reduce wear. The lubricating oil in the other part of the storage chamber will be transferred to the outer cylinder through the connecting pipe to supplement the rotating rod to improve the stability during operation.
