DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", "down", and "inside" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the auxiliary device for valve installation disclosed in the utility model includes a fixing frame 100, a support rod assembly 200 and a connecting rod 300. The fixing frame 100 is provided with a plurality of flange limit blocks 130, the support rod assembly 200 is provided with a plurality of valve seat support ring limit blocks 210, and the connecting rod 300 is detachably connected between the fixing frame 100 and the support rod assembly 200. The distance between the fixing frame 100 and the support rod assembly 200 can be adjusted by connecting the connecting rod 300. Figure 3 As shown, the utility model forms a limiting fit with the flange limit block 130 on the fixed frame 100 and the flange plate 410 outside the valve 400, forms a limiting fit with the valve seat support ring limit block 210 on the support rod assembly 200 and the valve seat support ring 420 inside the valve 400, and adjusts the distance between the fixed frame 100 and the support rod assembly 200 by connecting the pull rod 300, thereby compressing the spring on the valve seat support ring 420 and leaving enough space for installing the gate or the ball.

[0028] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the support rod assembly 200 is composed of two support rods 220 vertically cross-connected, and the valve seat support ring limit blocks 210 are installed at the ends of the support rods 220. A buckle part for realizing connection is provided in the middle of the support rod 220, and a buckle connection is formed between the two support rods 220 through the buckle part; the buckle part can be made of hexagonal steel, and a clearance notch 221 is provided on the buckle part. When assembling, the clearance notches 221 of the buckle parts on the two support rods 220 are arranged relative to each other and form a buckle fit with each other. The support rod 220 is provided with threaded sections at both ends, and an adjusting nut 230 is threadedly connected to the threaded section of the support rod 220. The valve seat support ring limit block 210 is detachably connected to the adjusting nut 230. By adjusting the threaded cooperation between the nut 230 and the threaded section on the support rod 220, the spacing between the valve seat support ring limit blocks 210 at both ends of the support rod 220 can be changed, so that the radial limiting dimension of the valve seat support ring limit block 210 on the valve seat support ring 420 can be adjusted to match the valve seat support ring 420 of different sizes. The length of the threaded section on the support rod 220 is preferably set to be the same, so that the adjusting nut 230 can adjust the distance symmetrically.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to facilitate disassembly and assembly, the valve seat support ring limit block 210 and the adjusting nut 230 in the utility model are detachably connected through a matching structure composed of a limit protrusion 231 and a limit groove 211. Figure 7 As shown, a limiting protrusion 231 is fixedly provided at the end of the adjusting nut 230 that is not threadedly connected to the support rod 220, that is, the end of the adjusting nut 230 away from the support rod 220. Figure 8 As shown, a limiting groove 211 is provided at one end of the valve seat support ring limiting block 210 close to the adjusting nut 230, and the limiting protrusion 231 is inserted into the limiting groove 211 to realize the connection between the valve seat support ring limiting block 210 and the adjusting nut 230; when limiting the valve seat support ring 420, the valve seat support ring limiting block 210 is pressed against the valve seat support ring 420 by the axial force of the support rod 220. In addition, in the utility model, the surface of the limiting protrusion 231 is set as a hemispherical surface, and the limiting groove 211 is set as a semicircular groove matched with the limiting protrusion 231, so that point contact is formed between the limiting protrusion 231 and the limiting groove 211, which can not only realize the radial positioning of the valve seat support ring limiting block 210, but also eliminate the influence caused by the interference of the rigid connection force caused by the surface contact.

[0030] Specifically, Fig. 9As shown, the main body of the fixing frame 100 is a circular ring structure, and a circular through hole is provided in the middle of the fixing frame 100 to match the flow channel of the valve 400. The fixing frame 100 is provided with flange limit blocks 130 that are the same in number and correspond to the valve seat support ring limit blocks 210. The flange limit blocks 130 and the fixing frame 100 can be set as an integrated structure to improve the overall strength. The fixing frame 100 is provided with an adjustment hole 110 that is clearance-matched with the connecting rod 300. The structure of the connecting rod 300 is as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, a threaded section is provided at each end of the connecting rod 300, one threaded section of the connecting rod 300 is threadedly connected to the valve seat support ring limit block 210, and the other end of the connecting rod 300 passes through the adjustment hole 110 and is connected to the limit nut 120, and the limit nut 120 abuts against the side of the fixing frame 100 away from the support rod assembly 200, and the detachable connection between the connecting rod 300 and the fixing frame 100 is realized by the limiting cooperation between the limit nut 120 and the fixing frame 100.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment hole 110 is an elongated through hole provided on the flange stopper 130, and the length of the elongated through hole is greater than the outer diameter of the connecting rod 300, so that the connecting rod 300 can slide along the elongated through hole, so that the connecting rod 300 can be adjusted accordingly according to the position of the valve seat support ring stopper 210, and after adjustment, the connecting rod 300 is fixed to the fixing frame 100 by the limiting effect of the limiting nut 120; in addition, the spacing between the fixing frame 100 and the supporting rod assembly 200 can also be adjusted by rotating the limiting nut 120. The extension length of the external thread of the connecting rod 300 at one end matching with the limiting nut 120 is greater than the extension length of the external thread of the connecting rod 300 at one end matching with the valve seat support ring stopper 210. The rotation direction of the external threads at both ends of the connecting rod 300 is set to be the same. When the limit nut 120 is rotated to adjust the distance between the fixing frame 100 and the support rod assembly 200, the threaded connection between the connecting rod 300 and the valve seat support ring limit block 210 will be tighter and will not loosen, thereby ensuring that the connecting rod 300 can successfully complete the force transmission.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, at least one limiting step is provided on the valve seat support ring limiting block 210, and the limiting step on the valve seat support ring limiting block 210 is used to form a limiting match with the valve seat support ring 420 for positioning. Figure 2 and Fig. 9As shown, a stopper formed by a plurality of stopper steps is provided on the flange stopper block 130. The utility model utilizes the stopper steps on the flange stopper block 130 to form a stopper match with the flange 410 for positioning. By changing the matching position of the different levels of stopper steps on the flange 410 to adapt to valves of different pressures and calibers, the corresponding stopper steps on the stopper can be selected according to the size specifications of the corresponding valve. The step surfaces of the stopper steps on the flange stopper block 130 and the valve seat support ring stopper block 210 are both set as arc surfaces, so that the flange stopper block 130 and the circular flange 410 fit more closely, and there is a designed gap between the valve seat support ring stopper block 210 and the bottom of the valve seat support ring 420, which can be applied to the inner diameter of the valve seat support ring 420 of different sizes, and will not affect the size of the axial contact surface between the valve seat support ring stopper block 210 and the clamping ring groove of the valve seat support ring 420, ensuring that the axial force that overcomes the spring compression force produces the shear stress.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, when the auxiliary device for valve installation of the utility model is used to install the gate or ball of the valve 400, the following steps are followed:

[0034] S1. Install the adjusting nuts 230 at equal distances on the threaded sections at both ends of the support rod 220, and then reserve an adjustment gap of 2 to 3 mm according to the inner diameter of the valve seat support ring 420;

[0035] S2, place the valve seat support ring limit block 210 in the clamping ring groove of the valve support ring 420, and then put the first support rod 220 with the adjusting nut 230 installed into the valve 400, so that the limiting protrusion 231 at the end of the adjusting nut 230 is inserted into the limiting groove 211 of the corresponding valve seat support ring limit block 210, and the yielding notch 221 of the buckle part on the first support rod 220 faces the direction of the flange 410;

[0036] S3, repeat step S2 to install the second support rod 220, and connect the gaps 221 of the two support rods 220 to each other;

[0037] S4, threading the connecting rod 300 and the valve seat support ring limit block 210;

[0038] S5. Select the stopper positioning position of the fixing frame 100 according to the flow channel size of the valve 400, place the flange stopper 130 on the fixing frame 100 against the flange 410, install the stopper nut 120 after the connecting rod 300 passes through the adjustment hole 110 and tighten it manually;

[0039] S6. Use a fixed wrench or an adjustable wrench to further tighten the limit nut 120. First tighten the limit nut 120 in the horizontal direction and then tighten the limit nut 120 in the vertical direction. Repeat this cycle until the spring of the valve seat support ring 420 is completely compressed into place, and then install the gate or ball.
