Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of center line butterfly valves, in particular to a double-sealed center line butterfly valve structure. Background Art

Turning the handle can drive the butterfly plate to rotate in the water hole through the valve stem. Once the outer circumference of the butterfly plate completely contacts the wall of the water hole, the valve is closed. Once the outer circumference of the butterfly plate loses contact with the wall of the water hole, the valve is opened.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent (publication number: CN 212959890 U) discloses a manual butterfly valve, including a valve body, an annular sealing rubber ring, a linkage shaft, a rotary valve plate and a rotary handle arranged on the outside of the valve body and fixed to the linkage shaft, the linkage shaft separates the annular sealing rubber ring to form a first semicircular sealing rubber ring and a second semicircular sealing rubber ring located on both sides of the linkage shaft, the first semicircular sealing rubber ring and the second semicircular sealing rubber ring are respectively provided with a first protrusion and a second protrusion for limiting the rotation of the rotary valve plate, the annular sealing rubber ring, the first protrusion, the second protrusion are fitted with the surface of the rotary valve plate, so that the rotary valve plate and the annular sealing rubber ring are effectively fitted and contacted, thereby improving the sealing performance of the manual butterfly valve.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned search patent still has some shortcomings. Its rotating handle is equivalent to adding a micro lever when driving the rotating valve plate to rotate, thereby reducing the torque for closing the butterfly valve and facilitating the rotation of the valve plate.

A limit assembly 6 is provided on the valve body 1. When the handle 5 is rotated, it is necessary to flip it upward and tilt it at a certain angle to release the lock of the valve stem 2 by the limit assembly 6. The valve stem 2 can be effectively limited and fixed by the set limit assembly 6, thereby avoiding the inconvenience caused by opening or closing the butterfly valve due to accidental impact on the handle 5. A sealing assembly 7 is provided on the butterfly plate 3, and the butterfly plate 3 is sealed with the valve body 1 through the set sealing assembly 7. The sealing assembly 7 is a double sealing structure, which can greatly improve the sealing effect of the butterfly plate 3, thereby ensuring the closing effect of the butterfly valve, and has better practicality and is more convenient for promotion and use.

[0022] The limit assembly 6 includes a circular cylinder 601 fixed on the top surface of the valve body 1, a receiving groove 602 is provided in the valve stem 2, a connecting rod 603 with a bottom end extending to the inside of the receiving groove 602 is slidably connected to the top surface of the valve stem 2, a truncated block 604 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the connecting rod 603, and an insert rod 605 with one end extending to the inside of the receiving groove 602 is slidably connected to the outer peripheral wall of the valve stem 2, and a trapezoidal block 606 is fixed to the opposite ends of the two insert rods 605. When the valve stem 2 needs to be rotated, hold the handle 5 The handle 5 is turned upward near the right end and tilted to a certain angle. The handle 5 is connected to the support plate 4 by a hinge shaft, so that the handle 5 is turned downward near the left end and pushes the connecting rod 603 to move downward. The connecting rod 603 pushes the truncated cone block 604 to move downward and disengage from the two trapezoidal blocks 606. The two trapezoidal blocks 606 are fixed with a first spring 607 on the opposite side. The bottom surface of the truncated cone block 604 is fixed with a second spring 608. The elastic coefficient of the second spring 608 is greater than the elastic coefficient of the first spring 607. The side of the first spring 607 away from the trapezoidal block 606 is fixed to the inner circumferential wall of the accommodating groove 602. A plurality of slots 609 are provided on the inner circumferential wall of the circular cylinder 601. Further, the truncated cone block 604 moves downward and disengages from the two trapezoidal blocks 606. The two first springs 607 push the two trapezoidal blocks 606 to move relative to each other. The two trapezoidal blocks 606 drive the two plug rods 605 to move relative to each other and disengage from the slots 609. At this time, the handle 5 can be rotated to drive the valve stem 2 to rotate. When the truncated cone block 604 moves downward, it will squeeze the second spring 608. Since the elastic coefficient of the second spring 608 is greater than the elastic coefficient of the first spring 607, when the handle 5 is released, the connecting rod 603 loses the downward pressure. At this time, the second spring 608 pushes the truncated cone block 604 to move upward and insert it between the two trapezoidal blocks 606, thereby compressing the first spring 607 and inserting the insertion rod 605 into the corresponding slot 609, thereby limiting and locking the valve stem 2 to prevent accidental touch from causing the valve stem 2 to rotate.

[0023] A circular hole is provided on the top surface of the circular cylinder 601 for the valve stem 2 to pass vertically and be rotatably connected thereto. The valve stem 2, the circular cylinder 601 and the connecting rod 603 are all located on the same central axis. A plurality of slots 609 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the circular cylinder 601. Such a structure allows the insertion rod 605 to be inserted into the slot 609 after it revolves around the valve stem 2. A sliding hole is provided on the top surface of the valve stem 2 for the connecting rod 603 to pass through and be slidably connected thereto. A guide hole is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the valve stem 2 for the insertion rod 605 to be slidably connected thereto. The insertion rod 605 and the slot 609 are located on the same horizontal line and the clearance between the two is matched.

[0024] See also Figure 3In this embodiment, the sealing assembly 7 includes an annular plate 701 fixed on the outer peripheral wall of the butterfly plate 3, a first sealing groove 702 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the annular plate 701, a first sealing ring 703 is fixed in the first sealing groove 702, two second sealing grooves 704 distributed front and back are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the butterfly plate 3, a second sealing ring 705 is fixed in the second sealing groove 704, the annular plate 701 is located between the two second sealing grooves 704, and the two second sealing rings 705 are opposite to each other. The first and second sealing rings 705 are in contact with the annular plate 701 on both sides. When the valve stem 2 rotates, the butterfly plate 3 is driven to rotate. When the outer circumferential wall of the butterfly plate 3 abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the valve body 1, the first sealing ring 703 and the second sealing ring 705 are in contact with the inner wall of the valve body 1, which has a double sealing effect on the gap between the butterfly plate 3 and the valve body 1. The opposing surfaces of the two second sealing rings 705 are supported by the annular plate 701, which can better make the outer circumferential wall of the second sealing ring 705 abut against the inner circumferential wall of the valve body 1 to ensure the sealing.

[0025] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0026] When the valve stem 2 needs to be rotated, the handle 5 is held and tilted upward at a certain angle near the right end. The handle 5 is connected to the support plate 4 by a hinge shaft, so that the handle 5 is tilted downward near the left end and pushes the connecting rod 603 to move downward. The connecting rod 603 pushes the truncated cone block 604 to move downward and disengage from between the two trapezoidal blocks 606, so that the two first springs 607 push the two trapezoidal blocks 606 to move relative to each other. The two trapezoidal blocks 606 drive the two plug rods 605 to move relative to each other and disengage from the slots 609. At this time, the valve stem 2 can be rotated. The handle 5 drives the valve stem 2 to rotate, and when the truncated cone block 604 moves downward, it will squeeze the second spring 608. Since the elastic coefficient of the second spring 608 is greater than the elastic coefficient of the first spring 607, when the handle 5 is released, the connecting rod 603 loses the downward pressure. At this time, the second spring 608 pushes the truncated cone block 604 to move upward and insert it between the two trapezoidal blocks 606, thereby compressing the first spring 607 and inserting the insertion rod 605 into the corresponding slot 609, thereby limiting and locking the valve stem 2 to prevent accidental touch from causing the valve stem 2 to rotate.

[0027] When the valve stem 2 rotates, the butterfly plate 3 is driven to rotate. When the outer circumferential wall of the butterfly plate 3 abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the valve body 1, the first sealing ring 703 and the second sealing ring 705 are in contact with the inner wall of the valve body 1, which has a double sealing effect on the gap between the butterfly plate 3 and the valve body 1. The opposing surfaces of the two second sealing rings 705 are supported by the annular plate 701, which can better make the outer circumferential wall of the second sealing ring 705 abut against the inner circumferential wall of the valve body 1 to ensure the sealing.
