Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of valves, in particular to an eccentric butterfly valve. Background Art

[0002] The butterfly valve often adopts a triple eccentric structure, that is, the valve stem axis deviates from the valve plate axis, the valve stem axis deviates from the valve body channel center axis, and the valve seat cone surface center line and the valve body channel center axis are at a certain angle. Eccentric butterfly valves are widely used in various station pipelines to adjust flow and cut off fluids.

[0003] However, the current eccentric butterfly valves all use a single-layer sealing ring for sealing. When the sealing ring is worn, it will affect the overall sealing effect. Moreover, since the valve body sealing ring cannot be replaced after being worn, the butterfly valve cannot be used normally. At the same time, the eccentric butterfly valve has the characteristic of becoming tighter as it is closed. Therefore, the sealing ring of some eccentric butterfly valves will reserve a margin in advance to ensure that the valve plate is completely sealed when it is rotated to 90°. This will cause a small gap between the sealing ring and the valve body before the valve plate is completely closed. No matter how fast the closing speed is, gas can easily enter the inner cavity of the butterfly valve. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an eccentric butterfly valve, which has excellent sealing performance, does not leak when closed, and is more wear-resistant.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions adopted are as follows:

[0006] An eccentric butterfly valve comprises a valve seat, a valve body, a valve plate, a sealing ring, a valve stem and a driving device capable of driving the valve stem to rotate, the valve body is mounted on the valve seat, and the valve plate is rotatably mounted on the valve body through the valve stem, characterized in that: the outer side surface of the valve plate is provided with alternatingly arranged annular grooves and annular protrusions, the sealing ring comprises a plurality of first sealing rings and a plurality of second sealing rings, the number of the first sealing rings is the same as that of the annular grooves and they correspond one to one, the first sealing ring is arranged in the corresponding annular groove, and the outer edge of the first sealing ring protrudes outside the annular groove; a second sealing ring is arranged between two adjacent first sealing rings, and the second sealing ring is arranged on the outer periphery of the corresponding annular protrusion.

[0007] In the above-mentioned eccentric butterfly valve, the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are alternately arranged on the annular groove and the annular protrusion, so that multi-layer sealing can be achieved. When a single first sealing ring or second sealing ring is worn, resulting in a decrease in the sealing performance at that position, it will not affect the sealing performance of other first sealing rings or second sealing rings. At the same time, the annular grooves and annular protrusions alternately arranged on the outer side of the valve plate can form multiple undulations on the side of the valve plate, which can cooperate with the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring to enhance the sealing performance. In the process of gradual closing of the valve plate, when part of the gas enters the gap, it can also increase the distance of gas flow, providing sufficient time for the valve plate to be completely closed.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, each of the first sealing rings is provided with a notch, and the notches on each of the first sealing rings are staggered along the circumferential direction. The notch can provide the first sealing ring with a contraction gap and a deformation gap when subjected to high temperature, and by staggering the notches on each of the first sealing rings along the circumferential direction, when part of the gas enters the gap during the gradual closing of the valve plate, the gas flow direction can only flow along the position where the notch is opened, and needs to flow in a circle, further increasing the distance of gas flow, and providing sufficient time for the valve plate to be completely closed.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the number of the first sealing rings is four, and the number of the second sealing rings is three.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the first sealing ring is a tungsten steel ring, and the second sealing ring is a stainless steel-wrapped graphite ring.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the outer edges of the cross sections of the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are located in the same plane.

[0012] The above-mentioned driving device can adopt the common worm gear, worm and handwheel matching method of eccentric butterfly valve, the worm gear is sleeved on the end of the valve stem, the worm is horizontally arranged and meshed with the worm gear, and the handwheel is installed on the end of the worm; the above-mentioned handwheel can also be replaced by an electric device.

[0013] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the eccentric butterfly valve has excellent sealing performance and is more wear-resistant. At the same time, when part of the gas enters the gap during the closing process of the valve plate, it is not easy to enter the valve before the valve plate is completely closed.
